Dog Walking in Sylmar, Los Angeles, CA

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and started walking them when I was 10. Three years ago, I adopted my own cat, and I currently dog-sit my aunt’s dog regularly. I have experience feeding, walking, and providing companionship for pets, and I love spending time with animals to keep them happy and safe. I am available most days and can provide pet care anytime. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am in college part-time but am free after 4 PM. Other than that, I am available anytime and flexible with short notice requests. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine closely. I feed pets on schedule, walk dogs, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’m an animal rights activist, a vegan, and an environmentalist, so I’m always fighting for the animals, wild or domestic! We had all sorts of animals while I was growing up, including cats and dogs. We started with cats and two beagles, and after the beagles' passing, we adopted the sweetest schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) on the planet! Long story short, after my sister and I moved out, my parents ended up with two more dogs and trusted only one person (other than my sister) to look after all three dogs when they (my folks) would go on trips: me. We continued to have cats and other animals during that time. My parents are down to two dogs now, but that's been one of my jobs for the last several years, in addition to looking after friends' dogs. I've also volunteered at a couple of shelters as a cat socializer and cat/kitten foster parent. During that time, I completed a "Fear Free Shelter" course and understand the signs of distressed dogs and cats and how to reduce their stress (one spoiler: classical music for dogs). I’m also certified in canine and feline first aid/CPR. Anyway, I love doing drop-in visits and dog walking and am happy to offer my home as a daycare. I love seeing animals in the comfort of their own homes and letting dogs explore my backyard. I'm currently funemployed, so I have time to do drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare most days. Dogs staying with me for the day would have access to our fenced backyard. If you need only dog-walking or drop-in sittings, then I can usually start after 10a. For doggy daycare, I’ll be sure to provide the stability and boundaries your fur baby needs. Your dog is welcome on the couch during the day, and we have a heated and air conditioned home during the hot and cold months. If I'm in your home, such as for drop-in visits, I'll use Rover Cards to let you know when I arrive, document how things went while I was there (with photos), and let you know when I head out. It would also help me tremendously if you could provide written instructions on Rover ahead of time. My goal is to provide all of the comfort your honey needs while you’re away. (I've been that anxious pet guardian myself, so I get it!)

“Janelle did great with Sherman on his walk. There was some trouble with the front door entry, but her communication was fast ,so we were able to resolve that situation quickly. I would hire her again for future services!”
