Dog Walking Universal City

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs, trained my own, and provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and administering oral medications. I'm committed to following your pet's routine and adapting to their individual needs so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently working part time in the afternoons, so I have all morning and evenings to walk, play, and hang out with your dog! I am also available all day on weekends. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I have a fenced yard with a dog. Depending on your pet, I would want to speak with you on what makes your pet and you the most comfortable.

“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)”

“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!”

“Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ilana kept us updated, sent a steady stream of dog photos (no complaints here), and gave us total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely book her again.”

About: I've been responsible for many pets since I was 13 years old and got my first cat. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats. I also have experience in caring for senior pets. I can administer medication, do any post surgery care, recognize behaviors, follow feeding instructions, bathe pets if needed, and clean any kennels/crates. I am also going to Veterinary assistant school in the fall, so your pets will be in good hands that genuinely care about their wellbeing. I'm currently available anytime, day or night. Weekends are also completely open. It will change in September when I get my class schedule but I will most likely still be free during nights and weekends. I stick to the established routine, especially when it comes to feeding and bedtime. If they need a little more playtime I'm happy to run around with them and play like crazy. I will not let them run around unsupervised outside, and I will follow any good behavior reinforcements if specified.

“Adam is AMAZING! our dogs love him and we are so appreciative of how great he cares for them. He has great patience, communicates and goes above and beyond every single time. Hands down the best walker the boys have ever had. Thanks Adam!!!!”

“Adrianne was wonderful, her daily updates and pictures were very appreciated. I have a beagle and she was familiar with her breed, and my dog loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! I'm Charese, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. Having owned both dogs and cats throughout my life, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for birds and appreciate the special attention and consistency they require. 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 know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet. Whether your companion enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving care. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and ensure they are happy, healthy, and comfortable in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry—or feathered—family members! I am currently working part time on Tuesdays and Fridays only a few hours a day and the rest from home. I am availabe most days after 1pm. I can not have the pets come to my home at this time but am willing to go to your house to take care of them. I currently live, work in a photography studio no pets allowed.

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. I work from home and am self-employed, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout your pet’s stay. Boarding rates cover a 24-hour period. For new clients, drop-off is available from 2:00 PM–8:00 PM so I can give your pet my full attention while they settle in. Returning clients may drop off anytime between 8:00 AM–8:00 PM. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Since I work from home, your fur baby will receive plenty of attention throughout the day, and walks based on their energy level and routine. I live in a townhome with stairs, so this is important to note for pups that have mobility considerations. For low energy, senior, or special needs dogs, I also have a fully fenced outdoor area with both grass and concrete where they can safely enjoy fresh air and potty breaks without needing a long walk. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care they may need. If I need to step out for an hour or two, all dogs are separated into their own comfortable spaces to ensure a safe environment. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

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.

“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: Hey there!

In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking, overnight care, house sitting, and companionship visits. ✨ What sets me apart: I create a safe, low-stress, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

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.

About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.
