Dog Walking Van Nuys

About: I currently have a senior dog of 15, been looking after him and he’s doing great for his age even with his visual and hearing impediments thanks to all the love and support given to him, and knowing the specificities of what he needs such as diet, pets, and outside time. With cats, I usually win over aggressive and territorial ones by providing them the space they desire. It’s currently summer break, so I’m available at all times! I can hand the wheel of care of my own pets toward my parents who I live with. Let me know an hour in advance if you need a petsitter! I’m very dependent on scheduling and routine of your pet, and what kind of personality they have. Are they playful? Do they prefer having space apart? When do they eat? When is it time for play? Or to go outside?

About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!

About: I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also been a proud dog mom to my sweet boy. I treat every pet like family and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! I’m home most of the time since I take online classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m especially available mornings through the afternoon on weekdays. On weekends, I’m available most of the time, especially after 3 PM With previous experience, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment, follow each pet’s routine, supervise them closely, and give plenty of affection, playtime, and attention.

“She took good care of our dog! Great walker. Thank you.”

“Vanesa was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. She even offered to apply sunscreen to Piper, which was incredibly thoughtful. Highly recommend!”

About: I've loved and taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, rabbits, even a pet squirrel (lots of stories about Honey). Spending time with animals brings me such joy and I treat every pet with love and care as if they were my own. I currently have one dog at home (my sweet boy in my pics) that we've had 10 years and we had our precious girl for 8 before she passed last year. I also had my childhood dog for 15 years with an adorable underbite that made him look a lot tougher than he was. :) I'm comfortable taking care of senior and sick animals as well as giving medication. I took care of our sweet girl with cancer last year with oral meds, tube feeding, and IVs. Our other dog gets allergy shots that I administer at home and I've taken care of him through 2 back surgeries. I've used Rover many times over the years and found wonderful sitters for us when we needed them. Now I'm joining this side of it so I can return the favor and share some love and joy with your fluffy ones. I was working full time and unfortunately my industry has been dealing with consistent massive layoffs. Now I'm a stay at home mom, but have lots of flexibility since my husband works from home. When going to your place, I will be careful while opening the door to ensure no escape artists try to get out. I will treat your space with respect and make sure to leave things just as I found them. Most importantly, I will make sure to adhere to any instructions given for the visit.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, up to 5 dogs. I’ve never had an empty household. Dog hair is a part of my life lol. I’ll be make sure to give your pet plenty of scratchies & pets if they allow it! I love snuggles with pets and giving them my undivided attention :) I’m currently working part-time, I am an artist as well. I moved away from home without my pets, so I would love provide for pets! I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I currently am looking to move into an apartment, so at the moment I don’t have space to care for a pet overnight, but I can travel.

“Alexis is a rockstar. In addition to her wonderful personality, she’s kind, accommodating, and absolutely fantastic with our (very large, sometimes difficult) dog. Kijo adores her, and I don’t know what we’d do without her. Five stars are too few.”

James & Leah M.

“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex. We had dog family over for a week and Jamie was able to accommodate walking them on short notice. Boosh loved seeing him and would bring him her ball a few times; seriously jelly about that. ?”

“Minerva is the most caring and loving dog walker! She takes her time walking Kobe and sends plenty of pictures and updates about his activities (pee, poo, etc.). She's very detailed, quick to respond, communicative, and incredibly friendly. You can tell she's an animal lover. Kobe has fallen in love with her in such a short time! Can't thank Minerva enough for everything she does for our Kobe!”

About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.

“Without hesitation an amazing experience with Dana! She was available same day and accommodated my last minute request! My baby girl Zini enjoyed her walk! 🐶”

About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝

“Very happy with Liz she did wonderfully job Definitely going to use her service again”

“Jessica did an amazing job. It was a last minute effort to get someone to cover Mars, due to a funeral. Jessica made it so easy with all of our requests. We are so grateful!”

About: Ive always loved and gotten along with animals. My mom taught me at a young age to not just react to their actions but to listen to them on a deeper level while intuiting their emotions. I love and respect dogs and cats because of how emotive they are and how unique each one of their personalities is. No two are alike, which is why caring for one is always a unique experience. I am available for all times any day of the week! I am a solo game developer so since I work for myself, if I am not writing code, I'll be taking care of your pets! I have am completely open to being recorded on a ring/home camera for owners own sense of security and to ensure I am giving the absolute best care to their little ones.

About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, I currently have a 10 year old terrier mix her name is Horchata like the drink lol. My goal is to give your pets the same kind of dependable, loving care I would want for my own, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently home from college only working like 2 days out of the week so I have plenty of spare time to take care of any furry friends. I’m available most weekdays with a super flexible schedule. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also super respectful of each client’s home and always clean up after the pets and leave everything neat and organized.

About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.

About: Hi, I'm Bernadette! I have owned dogs my whole life and love the care and support they bring to everyone in their household (because I'll admit, mine are the true rulers of the house). Physical health is a big thing for my pups and I love taking dogs for walks in parks with lots of green space for them to enjoy. I have privately taken care of neighbors puppies before Rover for about 10 years and loved every minute of it. I have trained my family dog and would love to work on some training if that's needed or wanted. Your pup will get 100% attention from me to achieve 100% happiness for them. I'm here to help give your pet some much-needed love, and exercise.

About: Hello, My name is Sandy. I've had pets all my life, from aquatic pets to fur babies. I love animals and have three dogs of my own. All with their own personalities and I take care of all their needs, from food, hygiene, and physical health to make sure they are happy. I'm positive I can cater to your baby's specific needs as well. I'm patient with my dogs, as I understand every dog has their own personality and different needs. I'm loving, caring, and observative of their behaviors. I love dogs of all breeds would love to help fellow dog owners by providing my services. I currently live in Van Nuys area but I can take clients that live in Palmdale as well as I visit very often. I am currently a student at CSUN & I have an open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends anytime with little to no notice in advance. I live in an apartment with my German Shepard. I know how important it is to exercise your dog especially in a smaller space so we go on walks 3x a day. He is my spoiled baby. I fall in love with all dogs I take care of as if they were my own & like to take extra steps (cuddles, treats, walking, playing.. etc) to ensure they are comfortable while their parents are away.
