About: I approach every pet with kindness, love, and a desire to build trust. I appreciate getting to know your fur babies and building a relationship so that they can feel safe and cared for even when you’re not able to be around. I have experience caring for senior pets, handling medications, diapers, and sick care. Experience cooking fresh foods for both dogs and cats. I’m currently studying for school full time and free of daily commitments, meaning I am free for daily walks, check ins, or house sitting with your pet! I intend to always maintain a physically and emotionally safe environment for your pet. In order to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible, I like to ask about typical routines, behaviors, and likes/dislikes.
“Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.”

“Jill was very caring. Cowboy loves her. She cooled him with stops in the shade, a cold bandana around his neck and cucumber infused water. Besides this, she started and finished with gentle massages. Oh, and I loved the six photos she sent me. They seemed professional.”

About: I love dogs and cats all my heart! I grew up with two dogs, but unfortunately had to give them away as I moved.

About: Always had dogs and cats since I was a little kid. From a cockapoo to a sheltie to 3 dobermans (not at the same time) and cats, birds too, parakeets, cockatiels, doves (still have those) and a 25-year-old skink (reptile). I tend my daughter's dog, cats & chickens when she's away. I've been retired for a year and am interested in keeping busy. I love cats, dogs, birds, and have always gotten along with animals. I am available almost anytime and able to handle last-minute assignments. I am extremely careful with doors and fences remaining closed so animals can't get loose, aware that loud noises and strange situations sometimes stress dogs and especially cats. I approach new animals slowly and carefully to establish a rapport.
“Hayley is great! Super friendly, reliable, was on time and very communicative. She walked my dog for the full hour and provided good feedback and cute pics! My golden retriever gets extremely excited meeting new people and it can sometimes be a little chaotic lol but Hayley handled it with ease and was really great with Lady. Will definitely rebook with Hayley!”

“Cody is on time and ready to go every time we book him! Finn and Biscuit both love him and he is awesome about working with any request we have or instruction we give. We are excited for future fun times with Cody!”

About: About Me: Hi there! I'm Bri, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs for over 15 years.

I share my life with Honey, a delightful 4-year-old Aussie/Lab mix who's as social as they come.

We're eager to welcome your beloved pets to join us on our escapades!

My work schedule involves full-time hours from Monday to Thursday, with a half day on Fridays. Honey accompanies me to work during the week if my partner is also busy with work.

Nonetheless, my weekends are devoted to Honey and any other pets that require care! I have a fenced-in patio accessible through a dog door, which can be closed to keep your pet indoors if necessary. My pup is excellent at looking after others and is fully trained, with experience in assisting with other dogs' training. Additionally, I have an XL dog crate available if required, and I live approximately one mile away from an off-leash dog park.

I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)

Farrah is very responsible, communicative, and thoughtful woman and dog walker, who helped me immensely this week with my border collie Kiva. I suffered injuries that landed me in a wheelchair, and she was very considerate, patient, and open to all communication with me. I found her calm and kind personality very helpful in my stressed out state. I will be having Farrah help me out again with my collie, and I am thankful that we found her! Thank you, Farrah!

Katharine is truly the best dog walker and pet sitter we could ask for! She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and trustworthy, and it’s clear she has a genuine love and compassion for animals. We always feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in her care. She’s been our regular walker for our senior dog, Lacey, and Katharine is always patient, sweet, and attentive with Lacey’s needs. It means so much to know Lacey is being cared for by someone who understands her pace and personality. Katharine also makes sure our cat gets plenty of love whenever she stops by! We even rely on her to give our cat an oral medication when we’re out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond for us and our pets, whether it’s adjusting her schedule, checking in with thoughtful updates, or giving a little extra care when needed. We feel so lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I can’t say enough great things about our dog walker! She is absolutely amazing with our dogs- so kind, patient, and attentive. One of my dogs struggles with anxiety and usually takes a long time to trust new people, but she approached him with such calmness and understanding that he warmed up to her almost immediately. Now he actually gets excited when he sees her and looks forward to his walks every time! She goes above and beyond to make sure both dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s dependable, communicative, and always provides thoughtful updates after each walk. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my dogs are in such loving and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and takes the time to connect with them, look no further, she’s the best!

I don’t trust anyone more than I trust Avery to take care of my girls. They couldn’t be in better hands and they have so much fun whenever we book Avery. We received constant updates, pictures and notes on things she thought would improve our pups life. Couldn’t ask for anything more honestly

Lisa is always communicative and will let me know when water or food is getting low. She is very sweet and gentle with my dog and is always available when needed. Responds quickly and also follows instructions very well. Will keep booking with her when I need her next! Thanks again Lisa for everything
Leslie have been walking my 60lb dog for about 10 months now. She's very reliable and flexible. She also communicates well about scheduling and how the walk went. My dog is reactive and sometimes pulls on walks but she's been able to manage her well. I highly recommend Leslie.
