Dog Walking Park West

About: I’ve been catsitting consistently for the past four years and grew up around dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet and care for them as if they were my own. I currently work Monday-Friday in the afternoons-evenings, so I am available on weekdays in the mornings and I am very flexible on Saturdays and Sundays I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar space and keep their normal routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have clean litter or potty breaks, get playtime and attention, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d give my own.

About: Hi everyone! I’ve been around furry friends my whole life, while I don’t have any pets atm, I’m grateful for the opportunity to watch yours😊✨ I currently have open availability, so I’m free to watch your pets coordinated to your needs.. I’m currently accepting opportunities for both walking and sitting🐶🐾✨ While I do have a large apartment with a balcony for fresh air, I always prioritize safety and comfort. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home when that helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay🐾✨

About: I love animals I would treat them as my own fur babies I would love to have a dog or cat but I can’t due to my landlord so this is the 2nd best option I love going on walks and adding a doggie would only add to my walk. I have a pretty flexible schedule and very open to making it work! I would treat them with the up most care and love they’re just babies and it’s the fur babies world I’m just living in it

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

“Was my first time using this app and Andrea was great. My baby girl Jazzie enjoyed her time and loved the photos of my dog as they were on there walk. Definitely booking Andrea again!!!”

“Phil is so prompt, friendly and reliable! We had a great week with him walking our energetic pup. He paid extra attention to our concerns with our pup’s licking habits and it puts us at ease knowing that’s who’s walking him. We definitely intend on booking him moving forward!”

“Jarrod has come through for us on a last minute trip. I even forgot to ask him to feed Trishia the day we left but he did it anyways. Highly recommended!”

“Jordan was great. Pleasant showed up on time and was great out Magic!”

Peggy W.

“My puppy Lola can be a bit difficult as she is still working on her leash training but Haley is always very patient and kind, helping Lola’s training and working through her sub par leash skills. Haley always asks great questions and follows up if there is any confusion!!”

About: I have had a love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Since our family dog is back up in Indiana with my parents, I’ve been getting an itch to be around dogs for awhile. I don’t have the resources to get a dog if my own, so Rover seemed like the perfect option! I’m currently not working a full-time job, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I love taking walks around Banker’s Hill on the daily and enjoying the sunshine. I try and keep the same routine you do for your pets. I want to make a transition from owner to someone new as seamless as possible.

“Alex has been amazing! She took our pup on a few walks when we were busy at work and she was very reliable, easy to communicate with and responsive, and left us some great pics and videos for us to see! When Penny was too stubborn to go on a walk, Alex was so nice to play with her and keep her active! Highly recommend, definitely plan to use Alex in the future! Thank you, Alex!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Jana! I am a full-time physical therapist looking to spend time with some pups since I currently do not have one of my own. I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life, growing up with a beloved family dog and later raising my own Australian Shepherd from a puppy. Because of my Aussie, I am incredibly comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping up with demanding exercise schedules, making me the perfect match for active dogs who love long, fulfilling walks. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted, go-to dog and cat sitter for my friends. Through these diverse experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and know exactly how to read their cues to make them feel safe, secure, and completely comfortable around me. Above all, safety is my absolute top priority. I approach every walk and sitting session with extreme care, ensuring your furry family member is never put in danger. I can't wait to meet your pet and provide the reliable, attentive care they deserve! Certifications: Cat and Dog First Aid and IAP Dog Walker certified. I currently work Tuesday through Fridays so I am available Saturday, Sunday and Mondays when most pet parents may be traveling. Also, I am willing to walk or drop in during my days off for those who work weekends! When caring for pets at their own home I prioritize their needs as well as the privacy of my clients. I will always treat their home with respect. If your pup is staying with me, be assured I will keep them on their normal schedule and give them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!

About: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!

“Joanna always does an amazing job!”

About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.

“Kayla is an excellent dogwalker and was very attentive to Jonesy. She made sure he drank water after his walk and was mindful of the heat so he wasn’t out in the hot sun for too long. Highly recommend !”

About: I am innately an animal lover and advocate and will treat your pet as it were my own. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I get super nervous leaving my own dog, so do everything in my power to ensure you and your pet are comfortable. From a young age, I was the kid that would come home with an injured wild animal asking my parents to help it. I grew up with a German Shepard and greyhound, and now have my own dog, who’s a pitty/boxer/cattle dog mix. I understand every dog has different needs and equipped to take care of high energy, intelligent dogs who need a lot of exercise and stimulation. I’ve taken care of small and big dogs as well as cats and bearded dragons. I’ve fostered dogs as well, so am familiar with anxious animals that need TLC and time and space to decompress. I’ve invested in training with my own pet that allows me to read body language well. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I currently have open availability from early morning through evenings during the week and weekends. I do long walks every morning and evening and keep pets on a consistent feeding schedule. I typically aim to take pets on walks 3 times a day depending on the animal needs and client’s requests. I also ensure adequate playtime with toys and activities that are engaging. I am happy to drop in as often as needed for more anxious animals.

About: 7 years experience working with a variety of dogs, cats, and small animals! Five days of the week, I manage a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. I’ve had experience in almost all positions and expanded my skills from working with dogs boarding with us, having to administer medication, look over and follow proper feeding instructions for each pet, provide the necessary and unique care for every pet that comes through our facility, worked in the doggy daycare yard as a camp counselor, have experience with customer service with new and current clients, maintained interpersonal relations with those pet owners. Working with dogs has been one of my most pleasurable job, and I hope to be expand my knowledge of maintaining good relationships between dog and person, continuing to follow routine from owner to pet handler, and observing dog behavior consistently. I also have just as long experience working with cats and small animals! I’m working full time as a pet resort manager but find time on off days to care for pets. Making sure your baby is happy and feeling their usual best is my priority as well as yours, and lets me know how to come into the next time I can care for your family. I have experience ensuring not only a safe in home environment but outside as well. When caring for animals, I always require a routine run down as well as mentioning any special needs, medications, health conditions, food sensitivities, exercise moderation, and the typical bath room breaks. Even for services beginning at daily walks, having all the information about your pet helps me provide the best and most thoughtful care any pet parent would want someone to keep in mind. Since managing a dog daycare, we get a lot of pet parents coming in with every pet being so different and unique! I will continue to work towards giving that specialized care and thought to your fur baby!

“Jayms was a reliable, caring and energetic walker for our 3 year old Pitbull mix, Meadow. She always provides pictures and updates, and it is clear how much she truly loved our pup like she was her own. Jayms was even able to help us out in a pinch a couple of times for last minute coverage. We're sad that she's moving out of the Boston area!!”
