Dog Walking Toluca Lake

About: I grew up with two Shih Tzus and was always the designated dogsitter for my aunts and cousins. I have experience with big and small dogs. I've also taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs, and I will make sure he swallows that pill! This is my main job at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I'm free for walks all throughout the week and can do drop-ins whenever needed. I'm also available to housesit on weekends and weekdays. I don't live with any pets of my own, so I promise to care for them the way I would my own dog. Your dog has my full, undivided attention!

“Thank goodness for Kendi! A weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing I have someone so reliable to care for my dog! She responds quickly and gets the jobs done no problem!”

“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: Hi! I grew up on my grandmother’s farm in Italy. As an only child, I spent most of my time with animals and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dog, Billie, and my cat, Chico, were my best friends growing up. Fast forward to today: I live in Studio City with my husband. Over the years, I’ve provided professional pet-sitting services through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for dogs of all sizes and cats. I have two cats of our own, whom I love as if they were my children. I’m fascinated by feline behavior and have spent countless hours learning about their needs and personalities. Dogs may be a little easier to understand, but I adore them just as much. 😊 I love going for walks, and I take great pride in providing the best possible care for every pet. I follow instructions carefully, am highly respectful of other people’s homes and routines, and am extremely reliable and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As an actress and founder of my own theatre company, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to embrace a variety of meaningful experiences between projects. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Spending time with animals combines two things I truly enjoy: being in the open air and caring for pets. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing care and companionship, looking after pets feels less like a task and more like something that perfectly complements my lifestyle and brings me genuine joy. I offer both pet sitting and house sitting and have experience with both. As a former nanny, I'm very attentive, responsible, and used to caring not only for pets but also for someone's home with the utmost respect. I have previously hosted small dogs in my townhome and would be happy to do so again, provided they are comfortable around cats, as I have two furry babies of my own. If a dog is generally fine with cats but not completely at ease around them, I take extra precautions and have them sleep in a crate at night or whenever I cannot actively supervise. My priority is always everyone's safety and comfort. I am extremely conscientious and prudent. I follow care instructions to the letter, communicate clearly, and take reliability very seriously. Pet owners can trust that their pets, routines, and homes will be cared for exactly as requested.

“I have booked Adrianne twice now for walking my 2 small terriers and also once for a drop-in for my 2 kitties. Adrianne has been such a gem, communicative, flexible, and she is so sweet. I know I can rest easy knowing my babies are in good hands! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Heather, I’m a responsible, creative professional with a lifelong love for animals and a calm, caring energy that pets respond to. I grew up with cats in my home and I’ve cared for other’s cats, dogs, and even small reptiles (bearded dragons), and I love being a steady presence for animals while their people are away. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their own familiar space—it’s less stressful for them and allows you as the owner to be sure your pet is in a safe space while you’re away for work or play. I offer in-home sitting for clients within 10 miles of North Hollywood (drop-in and dog walking service within 5 miles of NoHo), and treat every home and pet with the same loving care and respect I would my own. I work remotely, so your pet gets plenty of companionship, and all I need is strong Wi-Fi and a peaceful place to stay. I’m tidy, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep things smooth while you’re gone. If you're a fellow creative who wants peace of mind that your pet is receiving excellent care while you travel or are on set, let’s connect! I work remotely, so as long as there’s strong wifi and a space to setup my laptop, I can provide all-day and even overnight care as needed while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I can dutifully follow whatever routines you as the owner need me to follow as your pet’s caregiver to keep them happy and healthy. I also have experience calmly administering medicine orally to cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. In my home we currently have no pets, so if your house-trained pet needs to stay outside of your home for any reason, you can rest assured your pet is safe from any contact with other animals. We live in a 2-family home where the neighbors live in the back of the house and have a friendly, medium-sized dog (mutt). They have their own separate fenced in yard, so their dog will have no contact with your pet. I wanted to be transparent about the presence of a dog on the general property, incase you hear her barking when you drop off your pet, there’s no surprises! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends, and friends of friends, call on me whenever they need a sitter for their dog(s) or cat(s). I have experience with young and senior animals. I'm currently working part-time and have free time to take care of your pet needs when you're busy. I am an early riser, but also a night owl. I can't currently care for pets in my home for longer than a day since I live in an apartment. If needed, my place will only accommodate small dogs.

“I trust her with my dogs so much, and they both have triggers. She complimented them so much and made them so happy. I came home to them being so silly bc they had so much fun with her. Amazing.”

About: Having a dog and 2 cats as a kid was the best childhood! I am home most of the day so I have lots of time to walk and play with your pup! I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals. I have been freelance dog sitting/walking for the last year through friends but looking for more furry friends here! Send me a message so we can talk more about you and your pet’s needs I work from home doing a part time job so I am mainly a home body. I am based in North Hollywood and generally service Noho, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City and parts of Sherman Oaks I don’t accept animals from multiple households at once for my safety and theirs. I have multiple screen doors where they can safely watch the world outside at all the people and dogs who might pass by. I can also offer daytime sitting in someone’s home as long as my laptop and internet access is allowed!

“Catherine was very prompt in her service and was on time for the services I requested. She provided many photos to help me feel at ease that my dog was being well taken care of! She was consistently professional and kind. My dog instantly took to her and could tell she was a safe person to be around. I plan to book Catherine again in the near future and would trust her with my dog!”

“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!”

About: Hi, I’m Allyssa! I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience walking, training, exercising, playing and socializing with dogs and cats of all ages/breeds/sizes. I am a very attentive, kind, caring and patient person. To me a dog or a cat is one hundred percent more than a pet, but an extension of you, and therefore very much a part of your family. It’s my privilege and pleasure to provide your pet with the highest quality of care and respect. Every dog or cat I’ve come in contact with I’ve treated as my own, and I take pride in giving animals the special attention that every pet deserves. I will be 100% committed to being there for you and your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I provide boutique, in-home dog care in a calm, low-stress environment designed for dogs who thrive with personalized attention and consistency. Unlike high-volume boarding environments, I intentionally host only 2 client families at a time whenever possible, allowing your dog to receive individualized care, close supervision, and a quieter home setting. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My background in hospitality and client relations has made me highly detail oriented, responsive, and dependable. I treat every booking with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. My home is best suited for: • Dogs who prefer a calm environment • Small to medium breeds • Doodles and companion breeds • Senior dogs • Dogs who may feel anxious in busy kennel settings • Owners looking for reliable communication and peace of mind while traveling What you can expect: • Personalized care and attention • A clean, structured, supervised environment • Frequent updates, photos, and communication • Flexible routines based on your dog’s needs • Walks, playtime, rest, and lots of affection • A respectful, low-volume environment without chaotic pack boarding I know every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm currently working part time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I'm available for doggie day care and boarding from morning drop off until evening pick up at a mutually agreed upon time. I have a comfortable & peaceful home, fully fenced backyard and a sweet friendly dog (Miniature Goldendoodle)to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Loving, active mom and LA native with a lifelong history of caring for dogs. I have experience with anxious dogs and pets with social challenges, and I always lead with patience, care, and attention. Whether you need help in a pinch or regular support, I’d love to give your dog safe, dependable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m transitioning from a full-time role to part-time, which gives me more flexibility during the week. I’m local, active, and already take 2–3 long walks a day around my neighborhood, so dog walks, drop-ins, or boarding are an easy and enjoyable part of my schedule. I want every dog to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for, whether they’re staying with me or I’m with them in their own home. I have a very calm, bright second-story apartment that offers a peaceful setting for pets who do well in a quiet environment. If I’m caring for a dog in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and settled. I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy, and comfort level, and I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and care.

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.

About: Been a dog owner all my life so I know how to read a dog's mood or figure out what it is they need. I have now been a rover sitter for 6 years and during my time have met and watched so many different breeds, each with their own quirks and needs. The well being of the dog in my care is the utmost importance. I love to play with them, give plenty of scratches and take them on nice walks in my neighborhood to make sure they're living a happy and healthy life. All pups are kept clean, fed and stress free while they’re here. I'm also almost always home and I live with my family so someone is always here just in case I need to leave the house. Our home is filled with huge animal lovers so your dog will have a good time and be treated just like family :) Honestly I just love dogs so much and know how nerve wracking/stressful it can be leaving your fur baby while you’re away so I make it my priority that they are safe and happy and taken care of so that when it’s time to pick them up they will feel like they were on their own lil vacation too! I work from home so I’m almost always here and can easily take the dogs out when they need or provide playtime but in the rare case that I do need to leave the house I either take the pups with me or a family member stays with them while I leave the house. I live in an apartment that’s pretty secure and closed off, I’ve never had any safety issues with the dogs. In the event that a pup runs out the door, the way my apartment is structured with locks and doors that would keep them from running out of the building

About: My Cairn Terriers (like Toto from Oz) hike Griffith and Runyon, chase squirrels, dig holes, play fetch at Weddington Park and take long walks. Sometimes we just lay in the sun or snuggle on the couch, but this is a loving home that is grain free, caters to the Fluff gang and we’re big on patience and attention. I've raised five dogs in my life - German Shepard, Black Lab, Lhasa Opso and now my Cairns. Having learned so much from each of them and the love I have for dogs in general, I'm excited to welcome your loved one into my home and help you be at ease knowing they're well cared for. I know nothing can keep you from missing your pet, but a confidence in them being comfortable and loved while you're away is a great help. ***Originally DogVacay, I’ve been with the service since 2010 and rarely open up to new clients. After a few folks moved out of town and others had kids which limited travel time, I’m opening up again. My preference would be to begin those same kind of long term care relationships with people who travel often or for larger lengths of time which allows your pup to feel as though they’re always going to a safe and familiar space with friends they know and love playing with. Working from home has allowed me to better care for my own senior pups and also gives me the freedom to spoil your loved one as well. My two friendly senior pups and I enjoy a gated back yard that still sees birds and squirrels enough to entertain them while being safe from any interactions. We have astroturf for back scratching and enjoying the sun, as well as a front yard, quiet cul de sac streets and a giant park for leisurely walks.
