Dog Walking South Whittier

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every pet I meet. As a full-time teacher, I'm naturally attentive, understanding, and calm, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine so they receive the care they're used to at home. I'm happy to care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies who need extra patience and energy to senior pets who may need a gentler pace and lots of love. My goal is to give every pet companionship, comfort, and plenty of attention while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. As a full-time teacher, caring for others is already a big part of who I am. On weekdays, I dedicate my time to my students, and on Saturdays I love spending my free time with your fur babies. Whether it's keeping them company, going on walks, playing, or simply giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always care for every pet with kindness, patience, and respect. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or in a client's home, I treat them as if they were my own and always keep their well-being my top priority.

“Sarah was a gem. My dog is a rescue, very young and doesn’t warm up to people initially but took to her very quickly. A short chat made me feel she cares for animals or at least dogs just as I would and I’m sure my little Frida will enjoy future visits, walks and time with Sarah.”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was a child myself! From Pomeranians, to terriers, to huskies, I enjoy caring for them all. Your dogs will love hanging with me and going for walks. I have a very quiet, stress-free home (just me and my husband) which will especially be great for dogs that are sensitive to loud noises. I will do all I can to make sure they are treated like family and feel comfortable with me. I’m currently off work for the Summer as I am employed in a school district. I don’t go back until late August so I have pretty open availability aside from some events here and there over the Summer. Whether you need overnight care or just a couple hours of day sitting, I’d be happy to help. I have a one bedroom apartment with pretty open space. It’s just me and my husband (who works until 5pm). We’re in a neighborhood where I can safely take your dog for walks or outside to use the restroom. We do not have a fenced yard… but there is a grassy area for your pets to use the restroom right outside my place as well as many other grassy areas when we go for walks.

About: I have had cats and dog all my life. I have multiple years caring for them. I have experience in dog training and animal behavior. I as well have experience with caring for young pets and as well senior pets. I currently am not working so your pets will be have full attention. I'm available on weekdays and weekends if needed! For any special requests please contact me! I am open to anything! I live right next to a very big gated park so I expect I be with your pet at the playing, walking, or just for a bathroom break! I as well have multiple years of pet sitting!

About: Hi there! I'm a certified animal lover and lifelong dog person. 🐾 I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and these days my sidekick is my adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day why I love caring for pups. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions—and I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to make every walk fun, enriching, and stress-free, while making sure your furry family member feels safe and cared for. Safety is always my top priority. I'm responsible, attentive, and always looking for opportunities to learn more about dog behavior, positive training techniques, and how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or just wants a friendly companion while you're away, I'd be honored to care for them like they're one of my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I have the flexibility to walk your pups or check in any time. Just give me a day's notice and I will respond right away. Safety is my upmost priority. I always make sure to supervise my pups when they are outside. I believe it's very important to always be aware of my surroundings while walking, so I never look at my phone. I love to give lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.

“It was really a good experience for Haru to walk with Alexis. Haru is a scared little cat. She takes time to know strangers. But Alexis was so professional. He knew how to handle my coward dog. After a walk, Haru was so tired! Definitely will request for another walk!”

I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout my week to ensure pets receive exercise, companionship, and consistent care.

About: I love animals. All my life I have had at least one dog growing up. I have my own mixed Australian Shepard who I love very much. I got her during the pandemic as a puppy and completely trained her on my own. I am currently studying for the law school entrance exam. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop by as needed and have my own transportation. Please do not hesitate to get to know me and consider me to take care of your best friend. I am currently only focused on studying and have a completely flexible schedule. I like to maintain an organized schedule and keep my appointments in an agenda to ensure I am on top of my pending appointments. I make sure to keep a clean environment for my clients and their pets. I also respect the dog’s space, as some pets may be hesitant in trusting strangers at first, and slowly building their trust. Most importantly, as a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving their fur baby with a sitter. I try to alleviate this stress by send updates and pictures to the client to reassure their pet’s well-being.

I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school.

About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.

About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and have dedicated 17 years to caring for them. My experience includes working at various pet hotels, where I provided loving, attentive care. Animals bring me joy, and I’m passionate about ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for every day. My pup that I had for 16 years passed in March 2024 and I can’t find the heart to get another pet of my own, but I would love to help others take care of theirs. I work from home and I’m very flexible. I also have reliable transportation, it is also a large vehicle so I am able to transport large dogs/pet equipment I have a very large property that is fully enclosed and double gated… The front gate facing the street is an iron 6 foot gate.

About: I've taken care of many breeds of dogs since I was 8. I've been told by friends and family that I am reliable when it comes to bathing, walking and playing around the pups. I'm currently working a part-time job with it being extremely flexible. So my schedule will be fitted around my availability around it. Aside from that, my availability would be typically In the mornings-mid afternoon as well as weekends. Just give me a message and we can go from there! If I were to care for pets in my home or someone else's, I would make sure to keep chocking hazards out of sight. As well as foods that could potentially be dangerous to said pets. If there were certain rules to follow, I would follow. I would also keep in contact with clients for any updates on their pets. If I were also to be in a clients home, I would make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not suppose to be doing other than take care of their animals

“It was nice to know Abby was in good hands with Emily. She’s conscientious and maintained great communication while we were away. I would definitely recommend Emily!!”

About: Being around animals brings me a lot of joy. I love discovering their individual personalities because, just like people, every pet is different. When I meet an animal, I pay attention to their energy and let them show me what they need. Some want to play immediately, some are cautious, and some would rather observe from across the room for a while. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are rather than forcing interaction. My Shiba and Malamute have taught me plenty about that. My Malamute is a big-time attention seeker, while my Shiba prefers his personal space (although he occasionally gives in to a cuddle and then mysteriously ends up snoring next to me). 😂 I keep boarding intentionally small so your pet gets the attention they deserve in a calm home environment. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, shy pets, and animals who need medication or extra patience. Most importantly, I’ll follow the care and routines you want for your pet. You know them best, and I want their stay to feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have flexibility for early mornings, midday visits, overnights, and last-minute requests when available. I’m responsive and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine, including specific feeding, exercise, or medication schedules. My home is calm, non-smoking, and fully fenced. I have two dogs of my own, and I’m experienced with introducing and managing animals thoughtfully so everyone can feel comfortable. I keep boarding intentionally small and pay close attention to each pet’s temperament and needs. Client dogs stay leashed until we’re safely inside, and I don’t take them to dog parks. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your routines, care for your space, and make sure your pets get the same attention and consistency they’re used to.

“Ashely is always on time, easy to communicate with, and flexible. Rocky loves when she comes to walk him!”
