Dog Walking Northridge

“Shelby is great! We couldn’t ask for anything better. Shelby walks our dogs three days a week and she’s been on time, extremely sweet, the dogs love her and she keeps us informed on our dogs. We have a big German Shepherd that tends to pull on walks, and Shelby rose to the challenge without complaints. I highly recommend her to others looking for a walker.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for more than 30 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Three of my own dogs lived to be 14-15 years old, giving me extensive experience with senior care and age-related health issues. For the past year, I've fostered Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and various mixed breeds through WAAGR, helping them adjust to new environments, build good habits, and receive the exercise and love they need to thrive. I also play a role in evaluating and selecting adoptive families, one of the most important and rewarding parts of fostering because it helps ensure each dog finds the loving, lifelong home they deserve. What sets me apart is my experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with complex medical needs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs with kidney disease, blastomycosis, chronic ear and skin infections, vestibular disease, and other serious health conditions. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, managing medication schedules, providing subcutaneous fluids, following detailed veterinary instructions, and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. One of my dogs earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification, giving me experience with positive reinforcement and reinforcing good manners and routines. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, a senior needing extra patience, or a pet with special medical needs, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the week. I'm available seven days a week for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I'll make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Dogs in my home are taken outside on a leash or a secure tie-out and are closely supervised while outdoors. I work to maintain the routines, rules, and training your dog is accustomed to so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. If your dog is crate-trained, I'm happy to follow that routine when needed, but I don't require crating. Every dog is different, and I'll work with you to understand what makes your pet feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll provide attentive supervision, follow all feeding and medication instructions, and treat your pet like family.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.

“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”

“Paul was excellent with Luna! He was very responsive and flexible with our timing needs. He sent pictures and used the walk update feature on rover so I could see exactly what Lunas walks looked like. Would definitely book with him again!”

About: I've had dogs ever since I can remember. I was brought up to love, respect and care for animals and that's why I got into vetmed back in my home country. I had to stop my studies to come here but I haven't stopped wanting to help. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to support you and help you care for your furry babies. I have pet and house sitted for friends and family in the past. I have pet sitted cats and dogs but I'm open to help with small species and exotic pets. Rest assured I'll do everything exactly like instructed by you, always with lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently staying at home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks and snuggle with them. I have two small dogs that can keep your puppy company and we also have a very walkable neighborhood with some green areas we could explore together.

“Ally gave my puppy Luka excellent service. She took him on a nice long walk and sent great pictures that put me at ease! Thank you Ally! From Luka and Lori”

“Allison was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She continues to be a favorite sitter! She sends us cute pictures and updates on the visit and I can enjoy my time away without worrying about them.”

I have experience with a variety of behaviors and breeds through previous dog walking, fostering, shelter dog training, and private dog training.

I intend to treat each pet as though they were my own and ensure they are safe and that we have a blast together! Can’t wait to meet your pup and please reach out with any questions! I am currently a full-time remote, freelance worker . This allows me to offer flexible scheduling and dedicated, quality, focused time with your pets . I have access to a yard that is not fenced in, but provides quick and convenient leashed potty breaks and lots of nature watching either on the deck or roaming supervised on a long leash in the grass. I constantly have my head on a swivel due to my training so I am ready for any unexpected events. I am skilled with crate and other preventative/maintenance method training. Flexible to meet whatever special needs your pet has while in my care.

About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’m an animal lover who understands that pets are family. While I don’t have pets of my own, one of the reasons I love pet sitting is that I get to enjoy spoiling them and spending quality time with them! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping them on their normal routine and in an environment where they feel at ease. I’ve been pet sitting for family members for the past 10 years and also spent some time dog walking during college. I’m now looking to take on some additional opportunities to spend time with and care for other pet families in my community. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your furry family members with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I currently work a hybrid full time job, I am home 3 days a week and in office 2. Those days are flexible from week to week which allows me to be flexible with the schedule of your pets! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when inviting someone into your home to care for your pets. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household guidelines you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure to help prevent any escapes or accidents. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and being well cared for. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while giving your pets plenty of love and attention!
