Dog Walking Venice

“Ross was great. He took both the dogs on two long walks every day. They thoroughly enjoyed having him take them. He was also very communicative and kept us up-to-date on what was going on with them during the day. Highly recommend him.”

About: I have a very active, independent, high-prey-drive Ibizan Hound, and raising her has given me a lot of hands-on experience with dog behavior, training challenges, leash safety, and reading body language. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, nutrition, triggers, overstimulation, and how to notice small changes in a dog’s behavior before they become a bigger issue. I’m naturally very observant and attentive during walks. For dog walking, I prefer small to medium-sized dogs that are generally calm on leash and manageable during walks. I’m not the best fit for dogs that pull heavily, are highly reactive, or require significant behavioral management. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable walk for your dog. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, and short check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I take leash safety and following the owner’s instructions very seriously. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, surroundings, doors, gates, and potential triggers. I’ll follow your feeding and care routine exactly as requested.

“Taylor is very nice and patient. My dog enjoyed the time with her.”

About: I've watched our family, friends, and coworkers dogs a few times and loved it. Right now, I don't have any pets of my own, but would love to watch yours while you are away. My job allows me to work from home so if you don't want your furry loved one to spend hours alone in a stranger's apartment bored in a crate all day, I may be a match! I care immensely about ensuring each pet's comfort and happiness while in my care I work from home so I have more than enough open time to take care of any and all pets that need attention and care I always take care of pets by how the owner wants me to. I never take any liberties with any pets to make sure all owners are comfortable.

“Valerie has been fantastic! She is very communicative, flexible and is experienced. She’s been very patient and helpful with my four month old.”

About: Hello! I’m a former dog and horse trainer (have owned both most of my life) who now works as a freelancer from home. I travel for work periodically so I can’t have my own pet but would love to surrogate yours! Animals bring me so much joy and I feel much more connected to them then people sometimes. In addition to frequent walks and lots of spoiling (per your permission) I’m also a runner and would love to take your pup on jogs with me daily. Also please tell me your training words/rules and I’ll reinforce your training and maybe teach them new tricks! I do have a strict positive reinforcement only rule for all creatures. For negative behaviors you’d be amazed how much tone of voice, human body language and eye contact work as training tools. Happy to share with you training tips when you pick up you pet. As an animal lover I’m down if you want to FaceTime your pup too. And happy to give any updates as you’d like. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

About: I’ve had pets around me pretty much my entire life, so caring for animals has always felt completely natural to me. I’m originally from Germany and now live in Los Angeles. I’ve also successfully raised three sons — so patience, responsibility, keeping routines running, and looking after someone who occasionally refuses to listen are definitely not new territory. I’m reliable, active, caring, and very attentive to individual personalities. Every pet has their own routines, boundaries, quirks, and very strong opinions about how things should be done — and I’m happy to adapt to them. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your pet gets a new second-favorite human — because I know better than to compete for first place. 🐾 I’m an author and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m around throughout the day. I live directly by the beach, which makes regular walks and outdoor time an easy part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be squeezed into my schedule — I have the flexibility to adapt my day around their needs. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I follow your pet’s routines, feeding schedules, walking habits, boundaries, and any special instructions closely. I pay attention to their body language and never force interaction. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for — while keeping you updated so you can relax, too.

About: Other than my serious love for all animals, I have experience in the following: -Dog post-surgical care -Puppy and kitten care (under 6 months old) -Elderly dog care (over 11 years old) -Puppy training (6 months to one year old) -Overnight care I just moved to LA and am missing my family dogs, but not in a place to get one myself. I am working part-time, so I have ample time to take care of and love your pets while you're away! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. My care can vary from walks to runs to potty breaks to feeding and more. I can care for pets in almost any situation or environment with just as much love as you'd give them yourself.

About: ### 🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home ❤️ **Private doggy daycare and boarding in a calm, loving home environment—ideal for dogs who prefer individual attention over crowded daycare.** I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Your dog is family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I **work from home**, which means your pup gets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give each dog the individual attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. ### ❤️ Experienced, Loving & Trustworthy I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was a little girl and was a devoted dog owner for **16 years**. I personally cared for my senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and compassion that older dogs may need. I also have experience with **medications and special-needs care**, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions to help your dog maintain their normal routine. Over the years, I’ve also become a **trusted pet sitter for friends and their beloved animals**. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. And yes—I **LOVE puppies!** 🐶💕 I’m happy to provide the extra patience, playtime, supervision, and affection that puppies need. ### 🏡 Calm, Private & Personalized Care I intentionally offer a more personal alternative to traditional, crowded doggy daycare. Rather than putting your pup into a large group environment, I focus on creating a **comfortable, calm home-away-from-home experience** tailored to your dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest curled up beside someone, I’ll get to know what makes them comfortable. ### 🌴 Walks, Play & Beach Life I live close to the beach and absolutely love getting outside. If your dog enjoys walks, exploring, and getting some exercise, I’m happy to incorporate **walks and visits to local dog parks** when appropriate for their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions regarding exercise, socialization, and what your dog is comfortable with. ### 🐾 I Follow Your Dog’s Routine I know that consistency helps dogs feel secure, especially when they're away from home. I’m happy to follow your instructions for: • Meals and feeding schedules • Treats and favorite snacks • Walks and exercise • Potty breaks • Medications • Special-needs care • Nap and sleep schedules • Favorite toys and activities • Anxiety or behavioral considerations • Any special routines that make your dog feel at home ### 📱 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How They’re Doing I’ll keep you updated during your dog's stay and am happy to send **photos and videos** so you can see how your pup is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about your dog. Before your first stay, I’d love to learn about your dog— their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, sensitivities, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible experience. **Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own.** ❤️🐾 Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good fit. I'm currently freelance and work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible. I live a block away from the beach, so it is easy for me to take the dogs on walks to the beach. I have an apartment that was used to having a dog for many years! So, the dog would be in a very comfortable living situation where I could bring toys and bed and also keep a crate here if necessary.

I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats, including high-needs, medication administration, and anxious animals. I’ll happily provide your pet with exercise, attention, and lots of patience. My family currently has a very old dog and a young one, so I’m comfortable with animals of all ages.

I’m available during the weekends, but during the workweek I’m limited to mostly pre- or post-work hours. I work partially from home part of the time so I may be able to accommodate mid-day care if you live close by. I’m not currently able to welcome pets into my home, but maybe in the future. Depending on your particular pet I may be able to accommodate you. Let’s talk!

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.
