Dog Walkers in Valley Village, CA

About: I have my own dogs that I love very much and I will love your dogs the same. I also have helped take care of my friend’s dogs in the past so I have years of experience taking care of dogs. I also have open availability to take care of dogs. I can also support very active dogs which not a lot of people can do. I am currently available for full time pet care. I am mainly focusing on dog sitting at owner’s home or strictly just dog walking for any hours needed. I will dog sit at owner’s home for now. My current living situation will not allow for more dogs. I will gladly spend a few hours at owner’s home if that is needed.

About: I have had cats and dogs and mice and fish my whole life, and have been many people's go-to consultant for care and advice, and for taking care of their pets when they're out of town. I am one of those people that folks say have "a way with animals". Always have, even when I was a toddler. I can administer medications and injections, help with puppy training, and bring your shy pet out of his or her shell. I rescued my own kitties when they were only a week old and syringe and bottle-fed them and reared them up to be sturdy upright feline citizens of the world. I'm good with the "difficult" cases, and a gentle loving companion to the seniors. I do this because I adore and feel a bond with all animals and creatures of all kinds. :) I am available for morning and mid-day walks and drop-ins, and some evening walks depending on the day, and evening drop-ins most days of the week. I'll dote on your pets as if they are my own, and am happy to follow their routines and rituals and also bring a little novelty and fun to their day.

About: Hi there! My name is Gwendolyn. I have loved dogs all my life and grew up with an extremely active border collie . I first began walking neighbor’s dogs while I was in middle school and have been petsitting ever since. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet and I will do everything I can to ease your mind while you are away. I am extremely communicative and can send as many photos and videos as you like! Some of my favorite past clients have been a retired racing greyhound, a Rhodesian ridgeback, and a 19 year old schnauzer who lived on a diet of Erewhon Korean BBQ. I am comfortable caring for senior animals and administering medication. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur kids soon! I’m a full-time gig worker and taking care of animals is one of my favorite things to do! There is nothing I love more than a night in with plenty of playtime and snuggles. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are looking for last-minute care, too- I will do my absolute best to make things work! I unfortunately cannot board dogs at this time, as I live in an apartment complex that has a pet fee. Hoping to change this soon!

About: I grew up raising animals (big and small) in Texas and when I moved to LA for work, I started to take care of animals for friends and colleagues. If I can give a pet owner peace of mind their fur baby will be taken care of, plus have the joy and being with that animal, that’s a win-win I work from home as a freelance creative and have plenty of time and energy to care for animals. I love them so much, it really doesn’t feel like a job. It’s wonderful to care for them and help pet owners have peace of mind their fur babies are in good hands Every pet reacts differently to new people, and every home has their own routines and preferences. I’ve always found if you show respect to an animal and what they’re used to, you’ll bond with them and make them feel safe. I’m very used to every client having different needs, there’s no “one size fits all” approach. I live in the first floor of an apartment with a community yard and I have a patio with grass for quick potty breaks. I enjoy Long walks in my Valley Village neighborhood which is very safe, and I love walking dogs multiple times a day if needed

“Dana is wonderful! She does a great job with our young, energetic dog Marty, who can be difficult to manage on a leash. Marty loves Dana and looks forward to his walks with her! He always comes back happy and tired out!”

About: I grew up around animals: cats, a dog, even two gerbils. I also pet-sat for my neighbor while I was in high school. I am lucky now to have a crazy lovebug orange kitty named Mr. Buttons. He sadly has no interest in being around dogs or other cats, so I have to look outside our home to satisfy my love for them. I am as trustworthy as they come, and I believe pet care should come above all else. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm amenable to any kind of arrangement for caring for your pets. I'm typically free on weekdays, but as I said, my schedule changes and there are always exceptions. My priority is to build trust both with the pet and owner. I follow all instructions laid out to the T and ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe in my presence. I also respect the pet owner's home by leaving it exactly as I found it. It's vitally important to me that your pet feels loved even when you are away, so I never skimp out on pets or cuddles when they are desired.

About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and truly cannot get enough time with animals of all kinds! I would love to love on your pet and help you give them a happy and healthy life :) Help me boost my profile by booking with me. Thank you! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to adapt my day to walk your dog or to board them. I am very attuned to an animals needs, innately understanding their cues and doing what I can to meet their needs. I believe animals and humans are no different, we just don't have a shared language. So I always treat animals of all kinds with the utmost respect, just as any person would like to be treated.

“Thank you so much, Maryna, for caring for Sebastian! He was happy, well cared for and obviously loved spending time with you! I will definitely request you again next time I go out of town. If you need a great, kind and considerate walker for your rambunctious doggy, Maryna is an amazing person to work with!”

About: I grew up having mostly dogs, but also ended up with three cats. I’ve pet sat for family and friends. But more recently have helped dog sit while my clients were on vacation. They were senior dogs who needed medication and some extra love and care. I’m currently an afternoon nanny 2pm-6pm on Week days. This will allow me to do early mornings and midday visits or walks. I am open to evening visits as well. My weekends are some what flexible, with enough advance notice I am free to visit or petsit if schedule permits. If I’m going to walk a dog, I make sure that arrive promptly, take them for a walk and provide update. I’ll make sure to be respectful of your space and privacy. Same would apply if I’m doing a drop in for a kitty. Make sure your pets are safe and happy. When I sit for a family I usually spend the night, I feed and walk in the morning, go to work in the afternoon. Come back walk and play and do dinner. I’ll make sure to clean up after my visits and respect your home.

“Catherine has been walking my two pups now for a couple of weeks and I am extremely satisfied with her service. I injured my knee a few weeks ago so I hired Catherine to walk my dogs twice a day. Catherine is always on time and very responsive should I need to change our schedule. My pups come back very energized and I can tell they got a nice workout.”

“Joselyn really stepped up in a pinch. She was professional and so great with my puppy. When she discovered my puppy had found the bathroom TP and used it as a chew toy she took her time to clean it up! Completely unnecessary but much appreciated. Top notch! I’ve used her multiple times and always impressed! 👏”

“Emily was the sweetest to my fur baby. I rescued my dog a month ago and she has had a rough time acclimating to people and other dogs and Emily made such a big effort to make her feel comfortable. She’s such a caring person, fully recommended!”
