Dog Walking Tropico

“Javier was really nice and easy to communicate with. He helped me out last minute and walked my dog Tofu while I was out at work. He sent me pictures and a quick little review of how the walk went. Would definitely use him again.”

“I've had the privilege of using Ryan's service twice now and I plan to re-use him often. He's been very responsive and has followed directions extremely well. And this is with my topsy turvy schedule and high expectations. I love the sh*t out of my little canine buddy... and yeah... finding new people who are reliable, hopefully honest, and willing to earn trust between three of us is hard and is not a real fun experience. Ryan's been wonderful. Ryan being a part of our atwater village neighbourhood doesn't hurt either. Being close and familiar with streets and animal hospitals in case of emergencies and trails and stuff is so much of a relief. Zero complaints, only kudos, from my mutt. Still early in the relationship, but so far it feels like a better community just having him here. Updates if anything changes. I'm not expecting anything but for the better. cheers!”

About: I grew up with dogs, and watching them grow from puppies into seniors has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Helping my pets transition from this life has given me the skills to administer medication and subcutaneous fluids, and deepened my knowledge of senior care, not just in pets but in people as well. Since moving to LA from NYC, I immediately started fostering with ACE of Hearts, caring for dogs (from puppies to seniors) until they found their forever homes. When I became busier with work, I shifted to volunteering at Downey Animal Care Center. I hope to always work with animals, and my dream is to open a shelter in Puerto Rico for the satos. I'm a writer, writer's assistant, script coordinator and writers' PA in Hollywood, but since the strike in 2023, there's been a significant contraction in the industry. Typically, I'd spend my time on hiatus writing and fostering dogs, but now that I have more time on my hands, I'm excited to shift my focus to animals on a more full-time basis. Since I do freelance from home, I'm almost always home and happy to spend it in good company—with your pet! I live in a pet-friendly building and have a cat who loves small and mid-sized dogs (the bigger ones take some warming up, but he always gets along with them if they're chill—see photos (he's the tuxy)). Since I work from home, I can give your pet my full attention, and I live in a very pet-friendly, walkable neighborhood with plenty of good sniffing spots. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior pets and can even train your dog to sit, paw, lie down, roll over and speak!

“Dan is such an awesome help with our dog Guppy, he’s now our go-to walker! We’ve signed up for recurring weekly walks for our busiest weekday to supplement Gup’s exercise/potty needs since we feel so confident in his care with Dan! This past week Gup has had some tummy upset / anxiety flare ups and Dan was so understanding and accommodating. Dan understands Guppy has a strict diet and cannot take treats as well as him sometimes having trouble walking with new folks. He needed some encouragement to start the walk and Dan was sweet to gently carry him for a little while to help motivate him and took his tired cues in stride! Easy communication, timely arrival, great photos of our pup, and all his business checked off the list! Again, can’t recommend Dan enough for pet care :)”

“Rachel was a fantastic with our new rescue dog, Winnie. Winnie is very shy and easily scared - Rachel understood all of her feelings and did the exact right things to get her comfortable. Winnie warmed up to her very fast!!! Rachel was also very communicative with us, which was so reassuring and helpful. Thank you Rachel!!! We are looking forward to booking her again.”

About: With years of dedicated pet care experience, I've looked after a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and rabbits. My passion for pets is evident in the attention and love I provide, making sure each one is healthy and content. While I don't have pets presently, my routine eagerly anticipates their presence. I dedicate time each day to care, ensuring they're happy, active, and loved when they come my way. In both my home and my clients' homes, I make sure that safety, trust, and a pet-friendly environment are top priorities. For dogs, this includes secure fencing, leash-trained walks, and supervised playtime. Cats receive cozy, quiet spaces for relaxation and play. I adhere to feeding schedules, administer medication when necessary, and provide ample cuddles and exercise. It's all about making each pet feel comfortable and loved.

“Traci came to my and my pups’ rescue when I was hit with a high fever and couldn’t take them on their regular evening walk. She was there shortly after I messaged her and was friendly, professional, great with the dogs and extremely communicative. Thank you, Traci!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs about 4years. I like to watch them to play, and talk to them as communicating. To walk, feed and play with them, let me feel so warm and make my day. I have a big heart to take care of them. I stay home a lot and take care of my dog. I know each pet owners have different time, if our time could match, I would like to help and take care of your pets. I do have a big unfenced yard in front of my apartment. They can run and play inside the area. I also have a corgi girl, I believe she can be their friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining a structured schedule. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. In my home, I provide fresh water, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I stay home often, so pets are well supervised. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and keep their regular routine. I treat every pet with love, patience, and care, just like they are my own.

“Heather is great with our furbaby Domino, he gets so happy and excited as soon as he sees’s her walking to the door to pick him up for his walks. She’s great with communication and always on time.”

About: Hi! Welcome! I have been a cat mom for 16 yrs, but sadly my beloved cat, Mittens passed away in May 2025. I miss him dearly! And I deeply miss having a fur baby in my life! But since I’m not ready to get a new pet, I would like to give my love, attention and experience into taking care of other people’s pets! I am extremely experienced with taking care of cats and I have taken care of family and friend’s dogs before, and now several times professionally on Rover, that it’s made me fall in love with dogs just as as cats! I absolutely love and enjoy taking care of both dogs and cats! And they both have their own wonderful and amazing charms! 😁 I work from home so I am always at home, so it makes it easy to take care of pets and give them all the attention and potty breaks that they need. I am available for boarding or pet daycare at anytime, so please feel free to contact me whenever you would like. I live in a one bedroom apartment that is 1000-1500 sqft and I don’t have a backyard or personal balcony, but live in a very safe residential neighborhood, so walking dogs outside at anytime of the day is completely safe and fine. My living room is a reasonable size (1000 sqft), which is why I only board small to medium sized dogs; however, I work from home, so I’m always able to take the dogs out to get some much needed air, sun and exercise daily, so they don’t get too cooped up or bored indoors. I also always make it a priority to turn the AC and fans on at my place, so they can stay cool and comfortable at all times. Furthermore, I have used the Rover App before to have my own late cat boarded with a pet sitter on here, so I fully understand the comfort and the need for owners to have pet sitters send photos, videos and daily updates of their pets to them, therefore, I always make that a priority and I am more than happy to do that! I firmly believe and take it very seriously that a pet sitter should always respond immediately and be absolutely communicative at all times!

“Isabel is excellent! She’s punctual, is a great communicator, and is very natural with dogs. She observed a lot of things about my dogs temperament that I really appreciated . She has also done dog sitting in my home and is very trustworthy.”

“Sean is great with our pup!! Always on time and responsive and has made her feel comfortable walking with someone else (even with her separation anxiety). Great job!!”

“Freddie loves spending time with Zixuan, it’s such a relief to know that Freddie is getting quality time and walks while we’re out for the day!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Angelica, a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet sitter based in the LA/Glendale area. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I’m excited to be back on Rover and meeting and connecting with all fur friends! I currently work part time so pet sitting fits perfectly because it fulfills my afternoons and evenings with fun activities! Who wouldn’t love to dog/ cat sit! Caring for pets in someone else's home while dog sitting requires attentiveness, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Here are some key steps to ensure you provide excellent care: Learning about the pet Provide companionship Gather favorite toys Follow house rules Update the owners Monitor health

“Jesse straightaway got my shy dogs to warm up to her which is no small feat! Very responsive and overall I felt like my dogs were in excellent care.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a household that regularly had multiple dogs, including a period where we had five at once, giving me strong experience handling different temperaments and needs. I’ve spent time with working and gun dogs, and have personally cared for both a lurcher and a dachshund, so I’m confident with everything from energetic breeds to smaller companion dogs. Now based in LA, I still live with dogs—two chihuahuas—so caring for them remains part of my daily routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, exercised, and well looked after. Happy to tailor walks based on your dog’s energy level—whether that’s a long run or a gentle stroll. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate last-minute requests, which makes me a great option if you ever need help at short notice. Being self-employed allows me to adapt my day easily, so I’m happy to work around your routine and your dog’s specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, occasional help, or something more tailored. I understand that plans can change, so I aim to be as reliable and accommodating as possible. I take safety and trust very seriously, and I always aim to create a calm, secure environment for every dog in my care. My home is a small, open-plan duplex, which allows me to keep a close eye on dogs at all times. The stairs are gated off for safety, and I can also block off the outdoor area if needed, so I’m able to manage the space depending on each dog’s needs and comfort level. While I’m not currently offering regular daycare, I would be open to it on a case-by-case basis. My priority is always making sure each dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for in a controlled and comfortable environment.

“Sophie was great, my dig loved her. She accommodated my specific hours. Too bad she’s moving. Hanky loves you. We wish you luck on your new endeavor.”

“Chris and Eddie were amazing! Zola fell in love with them the moment she met them. They communicated so well and sent lots of pictures. Can’t wait to book them again.”
