Dog Walking Sawtelle

About: I have plenty of hands-on pet experience, from caring for my own dogs to fostering through animal shelters and volunteering with the sweet cats at the Best Friends Animal Society. I've always been the go-to sitter for my friends and family, and always take the time to meet the needs of each individual pet. I'm experienced and comfortable with cats as well as dogs of any size. I do especially well with anxious and shy pets who may need a little extra attention while you're away. My calm and warm demeanor helps puts pets at ease, and I understand the importance of going at YOUR pet's pace, whatever that may be. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! My day job is hybrid, which gives me flexibility to drop in on your pets or take your dog for a walk while you’re out of the house. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need. I treat your pets like my own, not only ensuring that they are comfortable, but paying close attention to any instructions provided. I’m detail-oriented and make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding routine, keeping an eye out for certain behaviors, or following your preferences for walks and playtime. I pay attention to body language, and maintain safe behavior to avoid putting your pet at any risk, whether we're taking a walk in the neighborhood or chilling at home. Caring for your furry family member is a responsibility that I always take seriously.

About: I’m a dog lover (and dog mom myself) and have been around animals my whole life. I’m trustworthy, detail-oriented and very pet focused. I have flexible schedule on weekdays and weekends and would love to work together to find the right time(s) for walks, visits, etc. Let’s talk! Safety is of the utmost importance to me. I am diligent with walks, in-home visits and general pet care. I’m detail-oriented as well.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life (11 dogs and counting!), and I love helping others make sure their special fuzzy friends are well cared for. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am a recent UCLA grad. I am currently available for dog walking and house drop-ins 7am-7pm daily. I am also happy to provide overnight house-sitting/pet care to ensure your pets are safe and cared for while you travel. I offer dog walking and house-sitting services. I am happy to feed, walk, and potty as is needed. To ensure safety for your pet, I will be sure to note any accommodations your pet may need (i.e. daily medications, allergies, etc.) as is applicable to the requested service.

About: I’ve always had multiple big dogs at home and trained them myself, so I know how to handle energy, strength, and personality. I’m an energetic, hands-on sitter your dog can trust. I work full-time during the week, so I’m best available for pet care on evenings after school hours and on weekends. I’m energetic and attentive, and I make sure every dog gets plenty of playtime and attention during our time together. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, follow their routine and feeding schedule closely, and make sure they have a calm, secure space to relax. I’m happy to accommodate crate needs or specific care instructions.

About: I've always had at least 3 dogs since I was 6. I have dog sat for the past 5 years walking, feeding, and staying overnight. I’m active and happy to walk / play with dogs as much as they want! I'm currently working in a hybrid schedule. I am in the office 2-3 days a week. However my girlfriend is fully remote and home with our dog every day. She is happy to watch any dogs as we do this together! I have an adequately sized 2 bedroom apartment where I live with my girlfriend. We have a 9 year old black lab that is very friendly and loves when she has a friend to play with. Our neighborhood is very walkable and safe. There are countless people walking their dogs in the neighborhood every day.

About: I have been trusted to care for friends and neighbors cats and small dogs through the years. I have been responsible to feed them, walk them and spend time with them in their own home. As a full-time pet caregiver, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate drop-ins and visits throughout the day, any day of the week, as needed. Although I would be caring for your cat or dog in your home, I would make sure I am responsible, as I am in my own home or the home of my friends, to make sure that your pet is safe and to follow the instructions that would be provided to me to care for your pet.

“Pepper & I are very grateful for Limo! She made the process very easy and my dog felt comfortable with her since the very start at our meet & greet. Thank you!”

“Mallory was wonderful and a true life saver! Work came up and nobody was able to be home with Moose for his mid day walk. Mallory accepted a super last minute request and was even willing to walk him a second time on the spot when I realized I’d be away even longer. She was very communicative and shared lovely pictures that prove Moose enjoyed her company. Thank you!”

Alexander & Magdalini H.

“Lili was amazing! She was able to handle getting into my complex without me being there and picking up my dog very easily! She also was really good with my dog!”

“Astrid was great to work with ! She communicated well, showed up to the meet & greet on time and approached my fur babies very well ! My husky is a bit nervous and reserved when it comes to strangers, while my lil one is very comfortable and loves attention from strangers haha She focused on my lil one (Panda) & won Daphne’s confidence by the end of their walks. She provided details of their walk, followed by pictures ! I felt completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care, I’ll definitely be working with her in the future !!!”

“Brian and his girlfriend have been wonderful walkers for my dog, Murphy. They’re reliable and communicative, and have expertly navigated situations when my more senior dog refuses to leave the sofa 😂. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog walker or watcher in the Berkeley area!”

About: Hello! I'm a trustworthy, caring, pet & plant lover with years of pet- & home-sitting experience under my leash… er, belt. My very first foray into pet-sitting was as a teenager, when a family friend asked me to care for their pet rabbit while away. That lovely little rabbit was a great teacher – one lesson that really stuck was how all creatures are sacred, and deserving of love & respect. These days I most commonly look after dogs & cats, but also have experience with smaller animals (fish, birds, iguanas..), and have sat house for friends, family & strangers alike, the world over. I returned to the US after living & working abroad for several years, and am currently based in lovely and iconic Highland Park. I work from home, so no problem keeping your four-legged(s) company through the days, and providing ample outdoor breaks. I also have a daily meditation practice, which many of the pets I look after find either odd, amazing, or nothing special at all. Some have even been known to join in with me! I’d love to meet you and your furries, so please don’t hesitate to reach out any time. And if you’d like to speak with any of my previous clients, they’d be more than happy to give a reference. Thanks for checking me out – I hope to connect with you soon! As mentioned, I work from home. I'm online with clients for several hours of the day. All I really need is a good wifi connection and a (relatively) quiet place to work. My schedule is also quite flexible, so I can set longer breaks and rearrange my start and end times to better suit your pet's needs. Of course all the usual feeding, outdoor breaks, walking, snuggling, positive communication and energy. And then, as per the pet's and client's needs, I'm open and able to provide the best experience possible for your furries.

About: Having spent my life with dogs I know the love and joy they bring and always want to return the favor. I give dogs attention and playtime while also being attentive to when they need breaks and giving them time to slow down. I am currently working independently so I love to spend as much time as possible with pets. I have lots of availability for walks and check ins and am able to work my other job while dog sitting which offers even more flexibility. I live in Brentwood which is a very dog friendly area, perfect for walks and near the beach if you are interested in having me take your dog on a field trip! I always ensure that there is somewhere for your dog to cool off, I always keep water available, and I feed them on schedule but only give special treats if you want me to.

About: I'm a current cat parent to three kitties, one of whom is deaf. I've performed cat sitting services for several friends and have also cared for foster cats with medical needs. I was the primary care taker for my family yorkie since he was a puppy, walking him, feeding him, and playing with him daily. He's very territorial and anxious, so going on walks required a lot of patience and conditioning on my part to reassure him that we were both safe and train him to be kinder to other dogs. I'm both a dog and cat person so whoever your furry friend is, I'm here to help give them all the love possible! I am a full time graduate student with a flexible schedule outside of classes!! I love to hang out with my cats during my free time, but having a bud to accompany me on walks outside during my breaks, or taking the time to go visit them, is the missing piece in my routine :) I make sure they are fed on schedule, have been played with for enough time, and have gotten their exercise in. Supervision is also key, especially when interacting with other pets. Whether your pet is treat-oriented or loves toys and cuddles, I will make sure to speak their love language.

About: I have been taking care of my friends pets for years and now would love to do it for so many other lovely people pets. I am an extreme animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats though. I will treat you’re pet like it’s my own with love and care. I am willing to almost anything to make sure you’re pet feels comfortable and gets treated just the same as you would. I haves owned cats, a couple who needed extra care, most of life so I am very comfortable with them at whatever they need. I personally have not owned a dog but have been around them my own life and can accommodate to most needs if I am told and explained what to do! I currently work from home and I’m able to accommodate most scheduling needs whether early in the morning late at night or in the middle of the day as long as I have a bit of heads up to adjust my schedule. If close by I can also accommodate multiple check-in a day and really anything that you need! When it comes to checking on your pet or taking them for a walk, I am overly cautious when it comes to animals that like to make a run for it (My cat is an escape artist), As well as just listening to any important instructions from you or warnings, I should know about!

About: Hi! I’m Aaron — a former pet lodge employee with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, whether they’re super energetic, shy, cuddly, anxious, or somewhere in between. A few things you can expect when your pet stays with me: • 📸 Regular photo & text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing • 🐕 Walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention based on your pet’s personality • 🌴 Trips to parks, beach walks, or outdoor time for dogs that enjoy adventures and exercise • 🐱 Patient care for shy or anxious cats — I understand not every pet warms up immediately • 🍖 Careful attention to feeding routines, medications, potty schedules, and special instructions • 🧼 Clean, safe, and calm environment where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed • ❤️ Someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, not just “watching” them My experience working at a pet lodge helped me become comfortable handling all kinds of situations and pet behaviors. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets, nervous rescues, and multi-pet households, so I understand that every animal has different needs and comfort levels. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
