Dog Walkers in Sunland, CA

About: I've had large breed dogs my entire life and volunteer regularly at shelters to help.socialize the animals to be more adoptable. My last rottie had leukemia and I cared for her throughout chemotherapy so have experience with many related health challenges. I recently exited my corporate career after 15 years of travel and computer work. I'm taking a break to recalibrate and spend more time outdoors being active. I have a fenced back yard and several crates that can be used if needed. My dog is very friendly and loves new friends to play with anyone- human or animal- that is open to play.

“Niki was an awesome dog walker for our pitbull Ethel! She paid close attention to our instructions and sent lots of pictures during the walk. Highly recommend!”

About: Many years ago the ‘Dog Whisperer’ came into my life through personal training. Cesar Milan taught me how to successfully train my aggressive dog with a few behavioral changes and lots of exercise. I was blessed to take my dog to Cesar’s Dog Psychology Center (DPC) more than once. I learned so much working with Cesar and spending time with his dogs. Now I apply those same techniques to all the Rover dogs. The importance of disciplinary exercise has changed many of my clients’ dogs through multiple daily walks. Your dog will receive the same training Cesar provides while staying in my doggy day care and on our walks. He always said “a tired dog can’t misbehave” and it’s very true! I’ve been personally training celebrities like Cesar and his wife for 15+ years. My schedule is very flexible while accommodating clients 2-3 days a week. I am a professional bodybuilder so fitness is my lifestyle. I love walking, riding my bike and going to the gym. Exercise is more important to your dog than it is to us! I’m happy to share my passion of fitness with your dog. Pets are a gift and having them in your life is a true blessing. It’s your responsibility to provide the best care possible. They should never be seen as a burden or taken for granted! I used to walk my 2 dogs everyday before they passed twice a day, for at least a half hour. It was truly the highlight of my day. I really miss them and would like the pleasure of walking other dogs because exercise is so important to their mental and physical health as well as their behavior.

“Marcus is hands down the BEST CAREGIVER, for your pet. He went above and beyond for our dog Max. He took Max to the park, spent extra time, communicated regularly. Marcus treated Max as his own. I highly recommend Marcus and will request Marcus every time I travel!”

About: I have a few clients I dogsit for - grew up having pet cats for decades. I love animals! I volunteer at Kitten Rescue LA. I’ve helped train my sister’s German Shepherd. My clients have been a Golden Retriever, Husky, senior Beagle, small to medium dogs and I am a lover of all breeds. Currently I’m working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend helping care for your furry family members. My hours are flexible :) :) I love giving attention to and caring for dogs and cats. Live near a park and dog park. Will accommodate routines you have in place and give you updates.

About: I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years, but I’ve been looking after my folk’s canine companions for longer than that. But the amount of times I’ve babysat adds up to about 5 years of dog care experience lol. I can handle most breeds big or small, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend-o’s! Currently looking for other employment, so for the time being I got plenty of time on my hands. I also look after my grandma’s dog when she’s away, but I’m usually free, again for the time being lol I’ll look after your dog the same way I look after my grandma’s dog when she’s away. I’ll feed them, take em out to do their business, and walk them if needed of course.

“Peggy was great! Super easy going and mellow. She was easy to communicate with and coordinate schedules. And was a good match for my slightly timid dog. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up I’ve always loved pets and it’s just something that I’m so passionate and patient about which I feel like not so many people have patience and I think it’s very important so owners can trust their sitter just how I would love anybody to be with my dog. My availability is open at any time from 6 am to 4-5 pm but I can always try to make whatever time is the best for you and your fur babies. I cannot take in at my place unfortunately, but I most definitely am able to take your fur babies on a walk and can also take care of them at your home and stay as long as you need me to with them when you are out.

About: I'm patient, genuine, kind, and highly empathetic to animals. If there's a cat or dog in the street, I am capturing it and making sure it gets taken care of. I have experience with kittens, puppies, senior dogs, big dogs, playful cats, scaredy cats, and everything in-between. Owning over 10 animals in my own lifetime, and taking care of many others, I am confident in my ability to care for pets of any kind. I work from home only 3 days per week. I can work from my laptop. I have a highly flexible schedule that keeps me at home and able to be present. I can go for breaks or walks whenever, even on work days, as my work load is usually very light. I am available most weekends. I always am respectful, calm, and alert when it comes to taking care of animals. I am very clean, organized, and detail-oriented. I am very thorough and use my gut and instinct to make decisions. I try to get in tune with whichever animal I am with, listening to their specific needs.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and I love and enjoy taking care of them and playing with them, going on walks and more. 🩷 I am currently studying from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I am available on weekdays and sometimes weekends too, and there is always a family member home at all time to make for your dogs are never alone. I have a fenced terrace and a separate room just for your fur friend and bunch of toys for entertainment and a friendly little doggy to play with.

“Jaiden was literally amazing! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I'm so happy I found Kayla! She really is good at what she does. Kayla is kind, friendly, responsible and a good communicator. I love how responsive she was to my texts. She took my husky for a long walk and helped tire her out. They got on great. I'm a happy camper. I finally have someone I feel I can count on. One of the best things is knowing she is only 4 minutes away! Happy me. THANKS, KAYLA! You are a blessing! Definitely recommended!”

About: I have 6 years experience caring for dogs. Dog walking and boarding have been my main activities. Im always learning and working on improving my dog care skills and knowledge. I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages. I care deeply about animals and all living things. The majority of my experience is with dogs however I also have limited experience with cats and horses as well. I am a very compassionate, accepting person, and I appreciate honest and respectful communication as well as I try my absolute best to provide this to all of my pet care clients. I am a musician currently working from home. So I spend most of my days at home which is why I am able to care for dogs during my work from home :) Please reach out with any questions at all! I am happy to discuss the details of your booking prior to the booking confirmation. currently I am in Tujunga, California living with my partner Rhiannon, she is very good with animals and has had dogs her whole life. She will be around to help with caretaking for the next few months. We live with our small dog Roehn who you can see in the pictures. She is our adored companion! California Clients: My residence is on Hillrose St. and I am fully prepared to start taking clients here. For outside dogs the dogs need to be larger dogs. The reason for "outisde larger dogs only" is because I am right up against the foothills and frequently get coyote visitors strolling down the street, so it would be most safe if your dog is big enough to not be a target for coyotes. Our neighbor who lives behind us has a average size german shepherd who lives completely outside in their fenced in yard and the coyotes steer clear of him. But for my small dog Roehn, I never let her outside without keeping an extremely, EXTREMELY close eye on her as she is small and too susceptible to coyotes and other predators. Rest assured, I am so so so careful with any dog that is entrusted to me. We do not let any small dogs outside unattended, never! All that being said, my yard is completely fenced in so no worries there. New Mexico Clients: I am no longer living in New Mexico! So sad because I had so many wonderful clients there and I miss them all dearly. I will of course update my profile if I ever go back but as of right now I have no plans to return. Much love to all my wonderful former clients there.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I love all animals and have provided care for a long time now. Overnight care is something I’ve done too. I work part time so I’m usually always available. With pet pet sitting experiences I usually check on the pets every 2-4 hours but can do whatever the owner prefers My yard is fenced in and I’m always super careful and listen to all the owners rules because every pet is different. Safety is important to me.

𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬: •pick up and drop off • bathing and grooming • potty training / crate training I have a big Fully-Fenced yard where your pets can roam around and feel free to play and explore. If your dog gets along with other dogs then they will have supervised playtime outside (if approved by the owner) if they don’t that is ok , I can totally keep them separated and they will have one on one play time with me. I also have a nice house where they can enjoy a nice relaxing nap or playing indoors as well.

“Annmarie is phenomenal. She’s punctual, kind, has every bit of experience her profile advertises and more. You can trust her to truly go above and beyond for any furry friend in her care—she treats them as her own. When asked she made suggestions for training classes for our pup and gave me a few ideas to try with him for better harmony with our 2 cats. She has my highest recommendation.”
