Dog Walking in Pacoima, Los Angeles, CA

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Belgian Malinois. I have a 12 year old Jack Russell who’s taught me the patience and care senior dogs need, and a 3 year old domestic short hair calico cat that I raised from about 5 weeks old. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m an early riser and love starting my mornings with animals. I’m available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., which allows me to give pets my full attention for walks, playtime, and care during the day. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each owner’s routine closely, making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for just as they’re used to. For dog walks, I provide safe, fun outings that match each dog’s energy level and personality. I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.

About: I’ve been working with pets for the past 4 years gaining lots of experience moving around from shelters and clinic. However my never ending love for animals started at a very young age. I’ve worked with kittens in animal shelters feeding and cleaning after all the cats. I grew up in a dog loving home and gained lots of experience when it comes to loving and working with dogs. I also had guinea pigs as a kid and absolutely loved them! I also got really into aquariums and had quite a couple of fresh water fish. I currently have a dog and a cat and a flock of backyard chickens so it’s safe to say I’m a big animal lover 😄 I love being around animals so much so that I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician. I hope to build on my experience and meet lots of furry babies along the way! I have a dog and cat of my own, as well as chickens who I love to the ends if the earth! I’ve raised my cat since he was 4 weeks old and now he is a happy boy at the age of 3 years old! I spend so much time playing with him as well as cuddling! In the mornings I take my dog on a walk around the block before it gets to warm out! She does love to sunbathe so we also spend plenty of hours outdoors! On top of this, working with my sister, I work with many pups outside of my own from walks, to fetch, or even just relaxing together! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I know being in a familiar environment is a more comfortable way to provide care, so I do the most possible to maintain that same comfort by keeping everything on schedule, whether that is play time, walks, feeding, litter scooping, or medications if needed. I take my time to bond with your pets at their pace, from shy cats to energy filled pups. I will send constant updates of your pets and keep you informed of all their dilly dally. The connection between owner and sitter is just as important as the one your pet and I develop! So even if it’s a random day or hour and you have a silly or cute picture you’d like to share, I’d love to see them!

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I provide patient, loving care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love while you’re away—I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to connect with animals quickly, making them feel safe and cared for in any situation. As a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. My schedule allows for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins—making sure your furry friends are never left feeling alone or overlooked. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I create a calm, loving environment where animals feel safe and cared for. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving them the attention they need to feel secure. Because I work from home as a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I’m able to offer flexible, consistent care throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets plenty of play, cuddles, and supervision, whether I’m hosting them or visiting them in their own familiar space.

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 16 years old, starting with small animals and rodents. I got my first dog, Haku, 4 years ago, and I have been obsessed ever since. I have experience with both larger dogs and small dogs, and would love to get to know yours! At the moment, I'm available full time for your pet. I am currently in an online Masters program full time, so I am able to work with your schedule. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they are my own. I believe in open and transparent communication, so you'll receive regular updates on your pet's wellbeing while you're away.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 6! I’m extremely comfortable around all kinds of pets, having previously owned dogs, cats, small rodents and snakes. I also used to work overnight at a dog daycare and am comfortable handling various breeds and all ages of dogs. I am also okay with senior pets since I have one myself! Due to that, I’m experienced with handling medicine and sticking to a routine. I’m used to oral and topical medication but am willing to learn any other sorts to take care of your loved one! I’m currently a student who creates her own work schedule so I will make sure to have all the time needed to take care of your pet! When i do have classes, I will be sure to make my availability known.

About: We had all sorts of animals while I was growing up, including cats and dogs. We started with cats and two beagles, and after the beagles' passing, we adopted the sweetest schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) on the planet! Long story short, after my sister and I moved out, my parents ended up with two more dogs and trusted only one person (other than my sister) to look after all three dogs when they (my folks) would go on trips: me. We continued to have cats and other animals during that time. My parents are down to two dogs now, but that's been one of my jobs for the last several years, in addition to looking after friends' dogs. I've also volunteered at a couple of shelters as a cat socializer and cat/kitten foster parent. During that time, I completed a "Fear Free Shelter" course and understand the signs of distressed dogs and cats and how to reduce their stress (one spoiler: classical music for dogs). I also recently became certified in canine and feline first aid/CPR. Anyway, I love doing drop-in visits and dog walking and am happy to offer my home as a daycare. I love seeing animals in the comfort of their own homes and letting dogs explore my backyard. I'm currently funemployed, so I have time to do drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare most days. Dogs staying with me for the day would have access to our fenced backyard. If you need only dog-walking or drop-in sittings, then I can usually start after 10a. For doggy daycare, I’ll be sure to provide the stability and boundaries your fur baby needs. Your dog is welcome on the couch during the day, and we have a heated and air conditioned home during the hot and cold months. If I'm in your home, such as for drop-in visits, I'll use Rover Cards to let you know when I arrive, document how things went while I was there (with photos), and let you know when I head out. It would also help me tremendously if you could provide written instructions on Rover ahead of time. My goal is to provide all of the comfort your honey needs while you’re away. (I've been that anxious pet guardian myself, so I get it!)

About: Worked at Guide Dogs of America, providing food, water, and bedding for animals while ensuring their comfort and safety. Monitored for signs of stress, followed strict handling protocols, and maintained a clean, sanitary environment. I currently am not able to find work because I am a student at UC Davis, but i am looking foward to caring for some animals. I make sure pets are well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable while following their regular routine. I provide exercise, playtime, and any needed medication or special care. Keeping their space clean, whether it’s litter boxes, bedding, or food areas, is a priority. I also ensure the home stays secure and pets are safe, happy, and stress-free. Regular updates and communication with owners help provide peace of mind while they’re away

About: In the past, I was trained as a Customer Advisor at Petco and worked at a doggy daycare afterwards, making me well experienced in warning signs for any allergies or illnesses and much more detail oriented than your average sitter. If ever needed, I can also provide knowledge on what are the best products to recommend for your pet to fit their specific needs. I have had animals my whole life and I know what it feels like to be away from home and miss my pets dearly. When your dog or cat stays with me, I will keep you updated as much as possible.

I am committed to taking care of you pet as if it was my own. My family and I are huge pet lovers, everyday we go out at night and feed the stray cats outside our apartment complex. Therefore, your pet will always be in good hands. I have been a pet owner of a dog and two cats for 8 years now and I absolutely love my babies. I will care for your fur babies as they were my own. I am currently working less than part-time but my work schedule is pretty open and very flexible. I am also taking one class at the moment (two weeks left of that class) before I start applying to nursing schools. So, I am available at your convenience. Anytime , I am here. I live in an apartment complex and I have a patio that is fenced so it will be available at your pet’s convenience but for the most part they will be with me inside my apartment with AC on if it’s hot outside especially as summer approaches. My apartment complex has a large area of grass and paths that I can take your pet out to walks for potty walks.

About: Taken care of cats and dogs since I was young, always grew up with cats and dogs, friends rely on me to feed, walk, and play with their fur babies. I work full time at a school so I am available in the evenings after 4pm and on the weekends beginning from 7am until the evening if needed. I can make sure to crate your pets and protect them at all costs and make sure they are safe and taken care of while on walks and in the home.

About: Over the years I have cared for my own pets as I always grew up with dogs. I have also pet and house sat on a number of occasions for friends and family members, and through word-of-mouth. I also enjoy gardening and caring for plants. I make sure to plan my day around your pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have a flexible schedule and make sure to prioritize your pets well-being. I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while sticking to their usual routines. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I keep an eye on their health and behavior, and if they need medication or special care, I handle it carefully. Above all, I aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.

“Crystalbell was so nice! Oliver loved his awesome walk with her. He was a bit hesitant at first and didn’t want to leave my side. She was very friendly and patient with Oliver. She updated me afterwards and also sent me pics of my baby looking so happy. She even introduced a park I’ve never been to, that’s so close to my house! Definitely will book again next month while I’m on vacation! Thank you!”

About: Hello, my name is Mayra Esparza. I have 8 years of personal experience working with dogs and about 1 year of professional experience. Currently I am an employee at a doggie daycare in Studio City where I look after about 40-60 large dogs on a daily basis. As a doggie daycare attendant I am in charge of feeding all our doggies (while following all feeding instuctions given by the owner), cleaning up after them, administering all oral and topical medications, and most importantly looking after the well being of all the doggies. I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work with dogs on a daily basis. Everyday I get to see how loving, funny, and intelligent dogs are. I love the bonds I have grown with so many of the doggies I see on a regular basis, and I truly cannot wait to form a bond with your doggie as well.

“So happy and thankful for Brandy being able to walk Benji!! Would recommend her and looking forward to her taking care of Benji again!😁”
