Dog Walking Upper West Ridge

“Had a wonderful experience with Mike! From the very beginning, he connected instantly with Hero, our 100-pound American Akita. He’s extremely reliable, responds right away, and sent us great summaries and pictures after the walks. We’ll definitely be reaching out to again— Thank you Mike!”

About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog (and cat!) I meet. I know pets are family, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I believe every animal has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine outside of my full-time work schedule. I carefully manage my availability so I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve, rather than overbooking myself. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, follow their routine closely, and provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care they may need. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box or potty breaks, plenty of attention, and lots of love. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and communication throughout your booking, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Samantha started walking Benny last week. Her kind and calm demeanor and professionalism were obvious when she came for a meet and greet before her first walk. She is punctual, and Benny clearly loves her. More importantly, our cat gave her his instant approval! We are so happy to have her help as we acclimate to having a dog again, especially a puppy!”

“Kino did a great job with my newly adopted 3 year old rescue. She knows her stuff, and was able to recommend a good training book. She communicates well and my dog is always happy to see her!”

“On time and goes above and beyond for our dog!”

About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds and own a sweet 19-year-old cat named Jet. I've owned and lived with pets throughout my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds many times throughout my life. I have experience administering medications and love to play with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry and feathered friends! I am a 37-year-old professional swing dance instructor, classical vocal coach, and piano teacher. I received my Bachelor's degree in Choral-Vocal Music Education from Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB. I studied Molecular Biology for 3 years before deciding to pursue teaching dance and music. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible to tend to pets' needs throughout the day. I have worked in a variety of settings, including restaurants, music halls, recording studios, summer camps, dance studios, tutoring, and babysitting. I enjoy classic movies, gardening, crossword puzzles, camping, and cooking. I rely on the client to set the ground rules for their own home and pets, and adhere to those guidelines. Every pet parent has a good feel for their pet’s needs and care, and I look forward to learning about each unique pet I get to care for.

“Cortney was so sweet and helpful, and gave me great feedback about my dog. My dog is reactive and has lots of needs, and Cortney was very attentive. Thank you!!”

About: I have a Husky-Malamute mix at home, and they're known for being one of the most high energy dogs. I can take care of your dog for sure. I am a college-freshman at NYU who’s looking to make some extra money whilst I’m on break back home, and what better way to make money than to take care of your dog! I am timely, and will make sure I give full attention to your pet. I’ll pick up after them, clean them if needed, and feed them all in a punctual manner. I’ll take this job very very seriously if you pick me! I'm back home for the summer, book any type of services available! I am always looking for ways to take care of pets, so anything works. Caring for my Husky-Malamute, I make sure to give him as much attention and play as possible. I love taking long walks (as long as your dog wants), and taking time to stroll around. I know how to avoid aggressive dogs, and also train aggression, as my dog also used to be aggressive. I will feed them on time, let them out to relieve themselves as much as possible, and be attentive to their needs!

“Barbara has been great. Maple loves her.”

About: I have lived with dogs of varying breeds my entire life. I am a huge animal nerd and I think it’s incredibly important to make every animal feel loved and appreciated. Currently my family and I have dogs that we purchased during the pandemic, I have DIY trained them, and spend time playing and walking them frequently This summer, I am currently working as a swim, instructor and tutor, so my schedule can vary. However, anytime I take a pet sitting/housesitting job that takes precedent over other plans for me because my first priority is always to ensure the animals, happiness and safety. The wonderful thing about my current jobs is the flexibility that I have when it comes to the timing of my shift so I am generally around most of the days with the animals. The way I care for the animals at my clients homes is by playing with them and talking to them. I also enjoy taking them on walks or playing in the backyard. My goal is to help their routine stay as much the same as it can while their pet parents are away.

“Kristi is amazing with my girl. She is so communicative and sweet with my princess and tailors her walks to my elderly dog and what she is up for each time.”

About: I’ve raised my own Golden Retriever since he was 8 weeks old, so I have real daily experience caring for a dog through every stage of growth and routine. Through caring for him, I’ve become very familiar with feeding schedules, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly love dogs and understand how important it is to treat them with patience, attention, and affection. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide dogs with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to take them out every 2–4 hours for walks or potty breaks, depending on their usual routine and needs. My neighborhood also has a nearby trail, which is perfect for walks and extra exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I can give dogs a safe, comfortable, and well-supervised environment. I am also available on weekends and holidays, which makes it easier to accommodate different schedules and last-minute care needs. I offer a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. My home is non-smoking, located in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone in my household is very friendly and welcoming to dogs. We do not currently have any other pets, which can be a great fit for dogs who do best in a peaceful environment. We also have a yard for outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision, safety, and each dog’s comfort. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, relaxed, and at home.

“Last week was the first time I used Edie for my new puppy Chester. He is quite the handful and she has done wonders with him. She’s been very flexible and genuinely enjoy to work with. Hopefully Chester will get used to her as I will be using her weekly for his walks.”

Wonderful communication, observant of any new concerns with Kathleen’s health, and very careful about her dog reactivity. Thank you so so much Maren. <3”

“Elora has been wonderful with our pup! He is nervous about having people come to the house and she has taken extra time to make him feel more comfortable. She is very responsive, timely and provides thorough notes and photos.”
