Dog Walking Toluca Lake

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life- from birds and fish as a child to dogs and cats throughout adulthood. Growing up, I raised an American Eskimo who needed regular grooming, exercise, and structure, which taught me responsibility and consistency at a young age. For the past 7 years, my partner and I have cared for our 12-year-old Cockapoo and three cats (now 5 and 4 years old, raised from kittens). Our dog is high-energy and high-maintenance - requiring daily walks, playtime, attention, and patience, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs as well as senior dogs who need extra care. Our cats require daily litter box cleaning, feeding routines, enrichment play, and attention. I’m very familiar with multi-pet households and understand how to balance different temperaments and needs. I take pet care seriously: consistency, safety, and communication with owners are my top priorities. I work full-time at a coffee shop with a flexible rotating schedule (early mornings and afternoon shifts), which allows me to offer dependable morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the week. I’m used to structuring my days responsibly and can communicate clearly about availability in advance. I’m especially available for: • Early morning walks • Midday drop-ins on certain days • Evenings • Weekend house sitting I keep my calendar updated and prioritize punctuality. When caring for pets, I focus on three things: safety, routine, and emotional comfort. • I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully. • I make sure dogs get appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. • I prioritize play and enrichment so pets aren’t just “checked on,” but genuinely engaged. • I maintain clean litter boxes, fresh water, and tidy feeding areas. • I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety. I also understand that pets are family. I provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“This review is LONG overdue! Elizabeth has been providing weekly walks for my Frenchie for over a year (maybe longer) and she is amazing! Elizabeth is so caring, she takes great care of my pup and she is comfortable giving him medications when needed. My dog has a spine issue (IVDD) and Elizabeth has been so helpful in carefully caring for him during a flare. She’s flexible and understanding when/if my schedule changes and my dog adores her. My neighbors have even commented on how great Elizabeth is with my dog and how she takes her time walking with him, playing and giving him love. I’m so grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover!”

“Tauri is a gem! She recently looked after my two large dogs and my cats, and she did an amazing job. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe and completely loved. She responds quickly to messages and gave me wonderful photo updates throughout the walks, and it was so clear the pups were incredibly content. From managing evening feedings and dog medication to giving them endless love, attention, and sweet cuddles, she handles it all with ease. She is reliable, professional, and has a natural gift with animals. 5 stars all the way!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience raising 5 cats and one of them has asthma so I’m very experienced with taking care of a kitty that needs to be given the Aetokat inhaler. I’m the first person most of my friends call when they need someone to look after their kitties, including three neighbors, family members and close friends. When I adopted my dog 2 1/2 years ago,as a 6 week old puppy I became obsessed with learning about dog behavior and training, and I often have people complement me on how well behaved my dog is. So not only will I take really great care of your kitties or your puppies I can also help you out with suggestions and pointers when it comes to dog training or leash walking. I will do a great job taking care of your little one because I treat every animal as if they were my own!! That goes for everything from their health to safety. I use common sense when it comes to taking care of other people’s pets. Your pets will be in excellent hands under my care!! I am currently flexible with my schedule and available for pet sitting and dog walks most days between 8am - 9pm. Unfortunately, I am not available for overnight stays. While I am in your home I will treat it with the upmost respect & professionalism. I follow all directions and make sure to keep you informed as to any issues. I am dependable and very trustworthy.

Her report cards are so wonderful with plenty of pictures and videos! I'm so grateful to her for the time she takes to help me and kudo.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with 12+ years of caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, giving me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs! Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and personalized care while you’re away. I’ll take lots of pictures, too! I’m especially comfortable with active pets thanks to my own well-trained 8-year-old Australian Shepherd, Nylo. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As someone who’s self-employed, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend more quality time with the pets in my care. I work from home, which means I’m more available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins, so your pet gets plenty of attention without spending long hours alone. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I try to keep every pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and preferences you share with me, all while making sure they get plenty of attention and care :) For boarding, I have a friendly, highly trained Aussie Shepherd who does well with other animals. I accept only 1-2 guests at a time to ensure quality care for your loved ones! This also means that pets are always supervised, which means if I need to step away or leave the house, all visitors are safely separated into their own spaces.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, and caring for them has always been something I truly love. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, turtles, ducks, and other small animals, caring for pets of all sizes and at every stage of life—from newborn puppies to senior pets with special medical needs. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to understand their body language, build trust, and make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether a pet is energetic, shy, or anxious, I adapt my approach to meet their individual needs and always follow their usual routine to help reduce stress. I have experience with puppy potty training, daily walks, playtime, grooming, transportation to veterinary appointments, administering medications (including injections), and caring for senior pets who require extra patience and specialized care. To me, pets are family. My priority is to provide loving, dependable, and attentive care, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated with the same love and respect I would give my own. I have personally cared for pets from birth through their senior years, giving me a deep understanding of their changing needs and the patience they deserve at every stage of life. Pet care is currently my priority, which allows me to be flexible and dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I’m happy to adapt my schedule to provide consistent, reliable care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I always pay close attention to their body language, behavior, hydration, and overall health. During walks, pets are always kept on a leash unless you specifically instruct otherwise and it is safe to do so. I believe trust is earned through patience, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of my own family.

About: I’ve spent years as a rescue foster and rescue mom, plus years of hands-on dog training experience, which means I’ve cared for dogs from every background, including the anxious ones, the shy ones, the seniors, and dogs with special needs. I don’t discriminate and I treat every dog with the equal and individual TLC, whether they’re a confident goofball or need time to warm up. Reading dog body language and meeting each one where they’re at is second nature to me. My training background means I know how to handle leash pulling, nervous energy, and dogs who need a little structure. I’m comfortable keeping up whatever routine or commands you already use, so your pup stays consistent while you’re away. On top of that, I have hands-on experience with grooming and bathing, so your dog is in good hands if they need a freshen-up during their stay. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and I take safety seriously. That means careful introductions, watching for the little signs, and never cutting corners when it comes to your dog’s wellbeing. Whether you need daily walks or a place for your pup to stay, I’ve got you. Walks are never rushed, I keep a close eye on the leash and surroundings, and I make sure your dog comes home happy and tired. For overnight or daytime stays, my home is a real home environment, not a kennel- With my two gentle and friendly resident dogs for company, walks, play, and snuggles on the couch. So excited to welcome your fur baby into a pups oasis. Your pup deserves a vacation too ! My home is a calm, dog-friendly and enriching space with a beautiful shaded yard and pup pool, comfy furniture they’re fully welcome on, and snuggling is a plus. Free bath offered as well ❤️ Drop me a message and tell me about your pup. I’d love to meet them and make them feel right at home. I wouldn’t have a daily routine if it didn’t include pet care. Animals are my life and purpose truly. Your dog’s well being and happiness is my top priority. I have a big fenced yard with a pup pool and two incredibly sweet and gentle 3.5 year old rescue boys who love to share and play! Your dog will be welcome with open arms and paws ❤️ plenty of rooms / space in the house if they need some down time, separation, or their own space to eat etc. They are allowed on all furniture and in bed of course! If your dog is a little weary or shy towards others at first, my boys know that and will give them space and gentle affirmation that this is their home too and they’re ready when they are. + a bath, on me ❤️

“Sarah was wonderful. On day 2 the dogs were already sitting at the window waiting for her! I had surgery and she stepped into walking duties. I’m healed now and walking the dogs myself, but I can’t help but feel the twinge of their disappointment that I’m not Sarah. Highly recommend (speaking for me and the dogs)”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is my experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, which has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable administering extra support, moving at your pet’s pace, and paying close attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and cared for, even when you can’t be there. I work from home, which means I can give your pup plenty of personalized attention throughout the day instead of just dropping in for the essentials. We typically start the morning with a neighborhood walk, followed by breakfast and some time to relax. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy playtime, enrichment activities, or another potty break, depending on your dog’s energy level. Evenings include a trip to the park or another walk, dinner, and, of course, lots of cuddles before winding down for the night. I understand that every dog has their own routine, so I’m happy to adapt my schedule to match what they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I believe the best pet care starts with maintaining the routine your dog already knows and loves. Before each booking, I take the time to learn about your pet’s schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home. Your dog will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout the day. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, so I’m comfortable adjusting activities and providing extra patience and support when needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, keep their environment clean, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I’ll also send regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

In addition, I have administered medication to both dogs and cats and am comfortable caring for senior pets or those who need extra support.

I currently live, work in a photography studio no pets allowed.

“Lexie is a very lovely person and a dog lover. She took Ginger every day for a much longer walk that was expected so that she could get a bunch of exercise. And, she was entirely responsible about coming within the requested times for all of the visits. She consistently filled out the reports and included great photos of Ginger. We trust Lexie 100% and recommend her 100%!”

About: Hello! I’m Macey, a fifth-generation Angeleno with a lifelong love for Los Angeles, animals, and especially all of the wonderful pets who call this city home. ❤️ I’ve been caring for animals for more than 15 years, including dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I believe great pet care starts with patience, attentiveness, and taking the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m naturally calm, gentle, and observant, and I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in someone else’s care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a total cuddle bug, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they need. ♿️ Experience with Disabled & Senior Pets: I have experience caring for senior pets as well as dogs with mobility limitations and specialized bathroom needs. During a 1.5-week in-home pet-sitting stay, I cared for two Dachshunds who used wheelchairs and required assistance with urination and bowel movements. Following their owners’ established care instructions, I carefully assisted with bladder expression three times daily to help them fully relieve themselves while maintaining their hygiene, comfort, and dignity. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, additional mobility support, more frequent potty breaks, or simply a little extra patience. My own beloved dog is now 14, so I understand firsthand the special attention older pets deserve. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and communicate closely with pet parents about their pet’s routines, preferences, mobility, and individual needs. 🌳 A Little About My Home & Neighborhood: I live in beautiful Toluca Lake, just minutes from Universal Studios, in a cozy and comfortable home with a lovely garden downstairs. There’s also a park just one minute from my home that I regularly visit with my own rescue pup, Bella. We love our neighborhood walks and getting some fresh air together! As a lifelong Angeleno and local to Toluca Lake, I’m especially excited to care for pets throughout the neighborhood and surrounding areas. I’d love to become a familiar, trusted face for you and your pets. ✨ What You Can Expect From Me: 🐾 Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality 🐾 Plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention 🐾 Calm, patient, and gentle handling 🐾 Walks, potty breaks, feeding, and drop-in visits 🐾 Regular photo and video updates while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home, routines, and instructions 🐾 Flexible availability whenever possible I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big responsibility and requires a great deal of trust. My goal is to make the experience feel easy and reassuring, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Whether you need a neighborhood walk, a midday check-in, overnight care, or someone to keep your pet company while you’re away, I’d love to learn more about them and their routine. 🐶❤️ I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I maintain flexible availability specifically for my pet-care clients, allowing me to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I provide calm, attentive care in a safe, loving environment while following your pet’s routine and your instructions. I prioritize their comfort, security, and well-being while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Many of my closest buddies are doggies! Most recently I had two toy fox terriers for a decade, I have sat with all range of breeds and ages. There is a saying about dogs and children gravitating toward a person, isn't there? My friends and clients can tell you that I am trustworthy and communicative. I am a person that has been told: "they usually don't like strangers/people/visitors, but they love you!" I have years of loving dogs, I don't have any at the moment because I recently moved back from Europe. I look forward to meeting your family member and giving them love and attention while you are away. I have my own car, a fairly flexible schedule, and can't wait to meet new furry friends.
