Dog Walking Van Nuys

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

“Kathryn was reliable and communicative! This was the first time having her walk my senior dog, and I plan on reaching out to her again..”

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

“Vanessa is absolutely wonderful. My dog is always so excited to see her and loves their walks! She is very friendly and communicative, and also flexible, which I appreciate. I’m very grateful for her!”

“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: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 12 years and genuinely love being around animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while away. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy pets, and shy animals. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I am new to the are and am currently have a full-time job and am looking to work more with animals in my free time. I’d love to help keep your pets active, happy, and healthy while also staying active myself through regular walks and pet care! I provide a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet I care for. I follow all instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and prioritize their comfort and well-being.

“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. ?”

“Dana is amazing with our two dogs Marty and Wally! She has done regular dog walking and an extended pet sitting job for them this year. I feel great knowing how much she loves them and looks after them like her own! And they are always so happy after her visits! I highly recommend Dana!”

About: Not only growing up with and raised my kids around dogs of all breeds. Rockwilders, pitbulls, German Shepherds, hounds etc. While active duty Marine. My son's were raised by by Staffy pitbull Sampson. Not only getting myself out the house, the time will be therapeutic for myself and the dogs. We will be getting much needed sun and exercise. The dogs and owners home be cared as if I'm staying at my grandma's house and I was told to take her dog fee fee outside. Then have the kitchen cleaned before she finishes her nap to go play bingo with the other grandma's from New Orleans.

“Laura is great with our French Bulldog Buster and she's also helping us work on his training when she takes him on walks. She communicates well and sends regular updates and pictures of her visits/walks. We are very happy to have her and would highly recommend.”

“Jessica is super-friendly, reliable, and always on-time!! She takes great care of our two pups, and you can clearly tell that she is an animal lover. I highly recommend her!”

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. 🐾 🤝

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.

“Jaclyn was fantastic with our little pups. Very thorough with all the details and very communicative. Highly recommend working with her.”

“Thank you”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for dogs isn't just something I do; it's basically in my blood. These days, I'm mom to two sassy fur babies of my own, Sophie and Daisy, which means I'm fluent in zoomies, guilty looks after stolen socks, and the very serious business of belly rubs. I'm attentive to routine and consistency, which I've found makes a huge difference for dogs adjusting to time without their owners. Whether it's sticking to their usual feeding schedule, favorite walking route, or bedtime habits, I make sure their world feels as normal as possible while you're away. A note on breed size: I happily welcome small to medium dogs for walks and sitting. I love big dogs just as much, and for larger breeds, I currently offer drop-in visits and sitting, with walks available once I know the dog is leash-trained and walks calmly (just to keep everyone safe and comfortable). What you can expect from me: - Regular photo/video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing - Patience and attentiveness with dogs of all personalities - A calm, consistent presence that keeps your dog's routine on track - Genuine care, I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone new, and I want to make that transition as easy as possible Right now, I'm in an exciting season of figuring out what's next for me career-wise, and I'm looking for something joyful and meaningful. Honestly, nothing brings me more joy than being around dogs. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to devote to your pup, whether that's a quick drop-in, a leisurely walk, or a full day (or overnight) of care. I will respect your home as if it was mine and will follow any specific instructions to make sure you fur baby is cared for and comfortable.

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.

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.

“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”

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.
