Dog Walkers in Northridge, CA

“Jill took great care of my pup who’s still learning and getting used to walks. She took lots of pictures and gave me lots of details of what went on during the walk.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and adopted my own dog at 10 years old. I’ve cared for puppies and seniors and love all of them. **I am a full-time student now, so I have limited availability. Mondays - Thursdays I am available starting at 4pm until 8pm. On holidays, Fridays, and the weekends I have open availability :) There are two dogs in my home who enjoy roaming the backyard and are always going in and out of the doggy door. While my dogs do not go in crates, I can put your dog in their crate if you wish.

About: I absolutely love dogs and have taken care of them almost my entire life. Some of the rarest breeds I have worked with include Native American Indian dogs, Norwegian Elkhounds and a feisty French poodle named “Peaches” As a struggling comedian/actor, I have plenty of spare time during the day. When the sun goes down, it gets a bit more hit or miss. I’m always very attentive to Animal needs as well as the condition of their environment. As a lifelong dog owner, I know the last thing anyone wants is their pet chewing or clawing something that definitely isn’t a toy.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember — caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. From growing up with family pets to regularly helping friends, family, and coworkers with their dogs, I’ve built a strong reputation as a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. People consistently rely on me because they know I treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, and care. What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training to senior dogs who require gentler routines and extra attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’m also dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of each pet parent’s routines and expectations. Pet care is now a meaningful and intentional part of my daily routine. I’m currently in between jobs after spending the last decade working in entertainment PR and marketing, and I’m using this time to focus on something that has always brought me joy — being around dogs. I’ve always loved caring for them, and now I finally have the flexibility to fully dedicate my time to helping dog owners who need reliable, loving support for their furry family members. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, pet care is something I look forward to every day. When caring for dogs in my clients’ homes, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for the dog. I take the time to build a connection so the dog feels at ease around me, whether it's through gentle interaction, play, or simply respecting their space. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and consistently, ensuring routines, feeding, exercise, and any special needs are met exactly as directed. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so both the dog and owner feel confident and relaxed while they're apart.

About: What sets me apart is my personal approach. I will treat every dog like family. I have hands on experience with puppies, including basic training and potty routines, as well as with senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s sticking to a special diet, administering medication, or just giving plenty of playtime and affection. I believe in open communication with pet parents and always go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — it’s something I truly enjoy, not just a job. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or winding down with a cuddle session, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, keeping their routines as close to home as possible. It’s important to me that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable every single day Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of love, playtime, and supervision — making sure they feel like part of the family. If I’m caring for them in their home, I respect their routine and environment, keeping things familiar to help reduce any stress. I stick to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and I always make time for bonding and attention. No matter where they are, I make sure they’re safe, cared for, and treated like my own.

“Chelcie is the most wonderful & communicative dog walker. He always provides updates & checks in, gives tips, & my dog Luna absolutely adores him. If anything may require my attention during a walk, he makes sure to include it in the notes or lets me know directly. Above all, I can tell he truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like his own, I highly recommend his services”

“Nakaya is so patient with my girl, more patient than I think I would be and definitely goes above and beyond!”

About: Hi there! You can call me Joy :) when I care for your pet I will send you updates with pictures and can communicate every good, not so good, and/or boring detail with you! I do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything when it comes to the needs of you and your pet. I am also happy to help you with any other house chores while you are away (collecting mail, watering plants, etc). I find it important to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet if possible. When I care for your pet I understand that I am in the space they call home. Building trust with you and your pet is an important first step for me to provide the best services for your needs. In 2018 I adopted a dog of my own and she is my world! I adopted my dog through Best Friends Animal Shelter and she came with little to no background information. She was fearful and showed signs of a traumatized past. I had to train a puppy during the “T-Rex” phase (RIP many articles of clothing and furniture legs” and learned that several rounds of fetch will only slow a working dog for about 20 min before they’re ready to go again. The biggest skill I learned when adopting my dog was handling her reactivity. She was the sweetest girl at home, mostly shy in the beginning and hesitant to come out of her shell. So it was a huge shock when taking her out on her first few walks to see her lunge and pull with all her might towards everything and everyone that passed by. Her size and breed made it especially stressful and embarrassing and there were many days where I felt like I couldn’t handle it. With a lot of patience and treats and maybe also some crying Kona came out of her first year at home a thriving happy girl! Bringing her home was one of the most challenging experiences of my life but watching her grow and blossom into the silly, loving pup she is has been the greatest reward. I have a set schedule at my part time job and can establish morning/afternoon/night schedules around it. I am also in the process of applying for grad school and would love to prioritize pet care as my main job if possible, I am eager to build a clientele! As the owner of a reactive dog I am comfortable reading behavioral cues that may indicate if your pet is in need of extra support, attention, or space.
