Dog Walking Piru

About: There has never been a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of dogs (and even a few wolves growing up)! My chihuahua-minpin mix Lo was an unplanned rescue (she was thrown out of a moving car in front of me) when she was about 6 weeks old. She’s 14 now and still a thriving terror in the absolute best way. I’m well-acquainted with the needs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, and fluent in canine behavior. Can’t wait to become besties with your beastie! I work remotely mostly over email so I’m very flexible in my availability. Visit times would largely be determined by already established feeding schedules and traffic. I’m happy to pop in for exercise/playtime, feeding, and cleanup! I’m detail-oriented and love a routine so I start with feeding (if medication is involved, it’ll be administered along with food unless otherwise specified) then change their water. Any necessary cleanup comes next, followed by exercise and grooming time.

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was the age of ten. Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family would rely on me to drop by if needed. I have always loved animals, and I will make sure your animals are healthy and happy. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from small to large, and I even cared for all three of my siblings' dogs at once for about a full year. My schedule is pretty flexible! Wednesdays can be pretty busy, but other than that, feel free to request a booking, and I will respond as soon as possible. With my previous dog, I made sure she lived her life to the fullest. I took her on walks twice a day to the dog park right next to the neighborhood, but at specific times. As she aged, of course I had to decrease walks or distance. We gave her medication orally. The last dog I dog sat, she had a leg injury, so I had to make sure she didn’t jump off the couch or do anything to stress her injuries. I always accommodate what the owner wants for their pets, and I love playing with the dogs.

About: I’ve been animal-obsessed forever. I briefly planned to be a vet… until I discovered how temperatures are taken and quickly pivoted to professional pet spoiler. I’m the friend everyone calls for reliable dog sitting and cat sitting, and I treat every pet like my own (nicknames absolutely included). I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your house rules, and big on clear communication with photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. After fostering a dozen pups, I had my first foster fail in 2014 when Stevie came home for good. He’s now my geriatric chihuahua, living his best life fueled by naps, Greenies, and prime sunbathing real estate. Your pet will get the same loving, attentive care! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule much of the week, which allows me to give pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about structuring my time around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always aim to keep each pet on their normal routine to minimize stress. Because I share my home with a senior chihuahua, I’m especially attuned to comfort, safety, and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or extra cuddle time, I build pet care into my week so every animal gets reliable, loving attention. I keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walk, medication, and care instructions — right down to favorite toys and nicknames. I treat every client’s home with great respect and always keep things clean and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and I stay very attentive to your pet’s comfort, safety, and energy level. With my fostering experience and senior pet background, I’m patient, observant, and quick to flag anything that seems off. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.

About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.

Friends and family describe me as calm, dependable, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have experience teaching dogs basic commands and enjoy reinforcing positive behaviors through patience and consistency.

About: Hi! I’m a dog walker and sitter in the Santa Clarita area. I am currently a grad student with flexibility in my schedule to meet your pet's needs. :-) I first began petsitting in 2015 in Maryland. Since 2022, I worked for the petcare company, BabygotBark, where I cared for an array of sweet dogs, cats and birds. I have experience caring for young to elderly pets, that have varied temperaments and sizes. I send updates, either daily or occasionally, whichever is your preference. This includes photos and excerpts on how your pup is doing. I also ensure your home is taken care of while you're away-- treating it gently and continuing any routines in your absence like watering plants and so forth. I value ensuring that you can travel without any worries! If you're looking for someone patient, flexible and communicative, you've found your person. Please let me know if you would like any contact references from past families i've worked with. :-) Take care! For my schedule, I also work as a design freelancer which ensures my schedule is often flexible with your dates of travel. My work comes with me wherever I go, so I am able to spend the majority of the day with your pet. During our meets and greet, I like to begin learning about their feeding, walking and grooming schedule so that they can continue the same routine upon your departure. I ask about their temperaments and any triggers to be mindful of. It's important to me that we continue the routine you've set for them-- to help them feel the most comfortable and confident during our time together. After our walks and feeding, I like to keep them company, any grooming care, and lots of love and cuddles.

“Jordan is great!! Super friendly and very good with our pup. And very responsive. :) We will definitely be contacting him again!!”
