Dog Walking In Verdugo Mountains

About: I’ve been petsitting for 12+ years and fostering animals for 8+ years! I have taken care of many dogs under age 1 as well as senior dogs. I also have experience fostering kittens (as young as 2 weeks old) and cats! I am fluent in both Korean and English! Also, one of my family members is a veterinary assistant :) My home is condominium, and the floor is hardwood. I have a small patio area inside my house. I also have a small grass area for the residents — it’s located outside my house but inside the condominium complex. Pets are always welcome to sleep on bed or relax on our furniture! Usually, we take the pets out for potty breaks 4 times a day—first one in the morning, second one around noon, third one in the afternoon, and last one at night, right before bed. We also use the small patio area for potties if they need to potty more frequently. I take them on walks in the afternoon! For cats, I clean the litter box as soon as I see that they used it. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and cardboard scratchers! My parents and I will be available to take care of your pets full-time! My family (5) is also available to take care of the pets most of the time! If you do not want your pet/pets to interact with other pets, I can separate them upstairs and downstairs. At least one person will be available upstairs and downstairs so the pets are not left alone! Our condominium complex has two doors/gates (front and back) . I look forward to sitting your pets!

“We love working with Emin. Great communication, patient, and loves our dog. Walter gets a great workout and almost always has a bowel movement when he walks with Emin.”

About: Having worked with dogs of all ages and breeds for over ten years both in Canada and Alaska, i can say with absolution that your dogs will be in the best of care. Being my full time chosen field, i am home with your pets. I firmly believe in getting the dogs out and exposed to the great outdoors as much as they are willing to allow me. I am a highly active woman conveniently located by several trailheads and griffith park. We have a large closed in backyard with many trees providing shade. Given the many years i have been doing this, i can provide you with several excellent references from clients both here in California as well as Alaska. I look forward to given you peace of mind knowing your dogs are in great hands. I do not have any other employment other than dog walks that i provide. I am a full time stay at home dog care provider. I have a fenced yard with ample shade provided by trees. As well i have a very friendly and active 6 year old male golden retriever.

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱

“Michelle and Elizabeth are the best! They have been so great with my pup Simba. Super reliable, communicative, prompt, friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you both so much and happy holidays!”

“Justine was great! My pups are usually pretty skiddish but they got comfortable with her pretty quickly which put me at ease. She was very patient with my high anxiety pup and had no problem walking with her. I'm looking forward to booking her again!”

I'm dedicated to following your specific care instructions and making your pet feel safe and loved My flexible schedule allows me to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for your pet. I come home around 2 PM and am eager to spend time playing and bonding with your pet. Weekends are for relaxing and enjoying outdoor activities together.

About: German shepherds have been living with my family for decades. Loyal dogs to whom I'm grateful. Meeting new friends is fun, and opportunities to walk together are welcome. I'm currently in study mode. Got a certificate after months of work. To get out and meet new pets and people sounds good. I'm taking online classess, and spending some time to look for work in my field. Which are low-voltage & networking. So going for walks is a welcome activity. I used to live in a country-side house. The dogs would mostly take care of themselves. Except for the feeding, grooming, cleaning parts. I like meeting new friends, and I would inquire about the pets' preferences; the owners' too.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I've grown up with dogs all my life, sometimes with 5 in the house at a time. Along with taking care of my own dogs, I began dog sitting and dog walking for family members and family friends when I was 15. I love making dogs happy, getting them out of the house on walks, playing tug of war with them, or just cuddling on the couch. I am a full time college student taking mainly online classes so I have a good amount of availability. I am available Monday-Friday mainly all day, for the weekends I have limited availability but I can always be flexible. I think being respectful of what your boundaries are is most important. Every owner and pup is different and I can adapt well to the different needs for each one. I believe that being gentle and patient is a necessity when it comes to pet care. When walking or caring for your pet I will hold the upmost care for them.

About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 5, so I’m comfortable with animals of almost every shape and size. I’ve done volunteer work helping stray dogs find safety, and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I clean up after and interact with animals of almost variety of temperaments. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll give them the care and safety they deserve! I currently work under a flexible schedule so I am available both weekends and weekdays for dog walking, check-ins, and pet sitting. I only need one day’s notice for low-intensity interactions, and a week’s notice for overnight sitting. I am attentive to your pet’s body language and any of their other needs. I can handle smaller animals safely when needed, and will keep your dogs on safe paths when walking.

“Highly recommend Barbara! We have a very shy senior dog that will not take to most people and Barbara is wonderful with her.”

About: I’m currently a zookeeper in training at the Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College, graduating this May with an associate’s degree. I work hands on with both exotic and domestic animals, learning about behavior, body language, and proper handling. This experience helps me stay calm, patient, and attentive with every pet I work with. Through my training experience, I’ve worked with a variety of species, including a tiger, a blind raven, a squirrel monkey, an armadillo, and many more which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, patience, and building trust with different personalities. I also had the opportunity to briefly volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I assisted with kennel cleaning, daily walks, feeding, and enrichment for dogs of various personalities. My animal care experience includes feeding, administering medications, cleaning enclosures, providing enrichment, walking animals, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious personalities, and I’m confident following specific routines like feeding schedules, walks, and enrichment. I always focus on making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away Thanks for checking me out! I’d love to meet you and your pet! 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible! I am finishing up my program at The Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College and graduating real soon! This allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pet care rather than rushing through visits. I am available on the weekends for drop-in visits and walks, and I'm specifically focusing on providing reliable daytime care. I am currently not offering boarding or weekend services, as I want to make sure I can give each pet my full attention and consistency during the week :) I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to learn each pets personality, routine, and any specific needs before starting care. Through my background working with animals, I’m very familiar with reading body language and handling different temperaments calmly, whether that’s an energetic dog or a more shy or nervous pet. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering medications if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I stay attentive during walks, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and focus on creating a low stress, safe environment. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away! That's always my favorite part :)

“Cody was responsive and the dogs are exhausted. A win all the way around!!”

About: Growing up in the farmlands of Sweden, I took care of all kinds of animals from a young age. My mother was a dog agility trainer and I learned a lot from her over the years! I have a husky greyhound rescue of my own that also taught me a lot about training pups (leash aggression, commands, etc.). I also have a cat so I am well versed in how to handle a multiple pet household! My schedule is open so I have availability to work around your schedule and happy to accommodate to be able to spend time and care for your pets! Routine is crucial so assessing the needs with the owner is the best place to start! Happy to give recommendations as well. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and happy! I will treat your pets as if they were my own - assisting with walking, training, resting, eating, etc.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a teenager. I have a deep love of animals and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m currently working freelance and can generally work my schedule around your petsitting needs. I’m available for house/pet sitting, walks and feedings, attention giving and playing and everything in between. I’m a pet parent to a cat named Rio who is the love of my life. I’ve owned both dogs and cats throughout my life and I love both dearly. I’m tall and strong enough to handle and walk large dogs and am always very gentle with smaller dogs and cats.

“I had a very good experience leaving Frankie with her. My dog came back happy and relaxed. I will gladly use her again.”

Whatever you need, I am here to make this experience the best for your dogs , and to ensure they are cared for and happy! About my yard I live in a nice walking friendly neighborhood and will take your pets on lots of nice walks. I am home all day working from my computer, and will bring your pets out every few hours and play with them throughout the day. I work from home and am there with them all day. I am very active so I do take a lot of walks with your dogs and can also bring them to the park if you’d like! I have a 3 bedroom apartment and your pets are free to roam in all areas. On walks, they will be on a leash at all times and I typically walk away from other people/pets so that there is no potential problem.
