“This was my first time working with Lane and I am so happy with the experience. Her communication was quick and so professional and also very detailed. Kept me in the loop as the appointment went on.”
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.
“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!”
“Adrianne is excellent! Responsive, friendly, communicative, accommodating with our schedule. Has been so sweet with our dog and our cats. She has even taken extra time on walks with our slower old girl. Feel very comfortable trusting her in our home and with our pets. Highly recommended.”
“First time having Catherine stop by to feed and walk Meaty since our plans ran later than expected! Such a relief that Catherine was able to help out today! Meaty looked so happy in the pictures and videos sent! Until next time!”
“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)”
“Elizabeth was so wonderful with my energetic golden doodle, Lemon! I am a full-time dog walker myself, but rarely need someone to walk my own dog, so i was a little nervous. I contacted Elizabeth and she was able to set up a meet and greet the same day and put all my worries at ease. She was prompt and communicative on her visit, and Lemon was so happy in the picture and when we got home! I highly recommend her as a dog walker and will be using again! ?”
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats and genuinely loved being around animals. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very flexible with my schedule right now since I work from home, which means I can give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I currently don’t have any pets in the house, creating a calm environment for your furry friend. I currently work from home for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I live in an apartment in a pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of grass and walking areas nearby, and I’m always happy to take pets to the park for extra exercise and enrichment. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. In both my home and clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, lots of attention, and safe supervision at all times.
“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”

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: I’ve owned 1-3 dogs at a time for most of my life and have lots of experience walking, feeding, bathing, clean-up and medication. I’ve also been hired to pet sit dogs and cats many times around my neighborhood in my hometown. I’m a recent college graduate with a part time job and a flexible schedule. There are a few days a week where I’ll be busy during business hours, but I can find time before or after my shift for drop-ins or walks! For walks, I know a nice park in the area that would be perfect to bring dogs and let them sniff around in nature. For drop-in visits, not only will I feed or walk the pet as needed, but I would also be willing to stick around a little longer and pet/play with the pet to keep them entertained!

BrieAnna always goes above and beyond! Something happened that scared my dog and when she arrived to walk her she contacted me asap to inform what was going on and took instant action. She thoughtfully cleaned everything up and made sure the animals were safe and okay. She is the absolute best!
Erick has been great with Lilith! Last week was our first week with Erick as our new walker and he’s done great getting Lilith comfortable with him. He is great at communicating with me and even is thinking in advance as the temps rise to make sure we have a plan for midday walks this summer! I deeply appreciate him thinking about my dogs health and wellbeing like that!
Khadejhia is wonderful! As someone who struggles with their health and mobility, I’m so grateful to have found her! She’s available to me on short notice on some occasions when I need extra help with my pup. She is sweet, patient, and playful with my puppy and we love her!
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!
Elena was amazing with Mowgli! She was communicative, professional, flexible with timing, and had such a warm, calm demeanor that instantly made both of us feel comfortable. Mowgli absolutely loved her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker 🐾
Nera can be pretty shy and slow to warm up, so I really appreciate how patient, gentle, and attentive she’s been with her. She has a very calm and caring presence that immediately made me feel comfortable trusting her with my dog. She’s also incredibly responsive, easy to coordinate with, and reliable even on short notice, which has made everything seamless. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and Nera has responded really well to her because of it. Highly recommend.
John has been an amazing help with our two dogs. He asks all the right questions to make sure he is as prepared as possible to provide the services needed. Communication is prompt and consistent which provides a level of peace knowing that my dogs are under his care.
Spencer is incredible! He’s been walking my dog Buffalo, and I couldn't be happier. He’s extremely punctual and has fast communication, which makes scheduling a breeze. It’s so reassuring that he owns the same breed; he truly understands their energy levels and how to handle them on a leash. He’s a total natural, and Buffalo always comes back happy!
