Dog Walking West Los Angeles

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I always took care of my friends and family dogs. I have always had a special relationship with each individual pup, and I would love to get to know all the quirks and needs of your precious dog(s). My family’s dog is named Cali, and she is truly my best friend. She is in New York now, so I cannot see her as much and am needing some doggy attention from others in the mean time. I know what it is like to feel nerves leaving your dog and making sure they feel safe and happy, and I hope to create that same environment for your dog. I am a post college graduate who majored in social work, and I have always had a need to care for others. My most recent experience is spending the past two months house sitting for 3 amazing dogs. One was elderly and the others were two big puppies. I hope to continue this summer having fun with new fluffy friends and making sure you can enjoy any vacation, obligations, or other activities knowing your loved ones are in good hands. I am currently doing a gap year before I head to do my master’s degree in New York City. That means I have loads of flexible time to perform pet care and work on your time! I expect to know at least 3 days before. Making sure pets are understood and supported is my biggest priority. Being in a new environment or with a new person is scary and overwhelming. It’s important for me to understand their needs and big feelings before putting them in different situations. I treat everyone’s dog like my own-meaning loads to attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, talks, and treats. It’s important for dogs to not just be taken care of at the bare minimum-but to be enriched, active, and engaged when I am around.

“Emily walked our dog for a few months before she moved to Santa Monica and was such a pleasure to work with! Our dog can be quite difficult to manage but she was great and really patient with him. He misses her!”

Maisa M.

“Nick was so friendly and great with my very large dogs! There are not too many people that can handle Buddy, but Nick was fantastic. I will definitely be booking again!”

Tasha E.

“Our dog LOVED Alexandra and she sent us multiple pictures every day we were gone. I’d highly recommend her and would absolutely go with her again in the future.”

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. After spending 11 wonderful years with my own dog, I know firsthand that pets are family—they're someone's whole world. Caring for him taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to provide love, consistency, and comfort every single day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities, whether they love long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. What sets me apart is the level of care I give. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and plenty of affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving, dependable hands. I'm still healing after saying goodbye to my own dog, and caring for other pets feels like a meaningful way to continue sharing the love he inspired in me. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and make sure they feel loved every step of the way. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I have the time and availability to make pet care a priority every day. I love incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention into my routine, and I'm able to stick closely to each pet's normal schedule so they feel happy and at home while you're away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, plus a quiet, pet-friendly space for relaxing. I also have great walking paths in my neighborhood, so dogs can enjoy regular walks, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, stick to their usual feeding and medication routines, and provide lots of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine closely to help their pets feel comfortable and minimize any disruption while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Chelsea got my pup out for a walk while I had a long work day. She took her for a long loop to the marina which my dog loves, and then left her with dinner exactly how I requested. She’s quick to respond and always sends pics. Would recommend!”

Lindsay B.

“Dominoe is so sweet and patient with my anxious little guy! He felt completely comfortable with her by the end of their first walk. Can’t wait to book her again!”

About: While we're new to pet sitting, we've always loved being around dogs. We regularly visit local dog parks because we enjoy spending time playing with and interacting with dogs of all sizes and personalities. These experiences have helped us become comfortable reading dogs' body language and understanding the importance of patience, kindness, and positive interactions. We know that every dog is part of the family, and we'll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care we would give our own. We're committed to providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, following your pet's routine, and making sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and companionship while you're away. I currently offer dog boarding on weekends, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. On weekends, my schedule is flexible, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of love and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every dog has its own routine and preferences, and I'll do my best to follow your pet's normal schedule to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel comfortable while you're away. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each one receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and supervision. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines to help your dog feel at home. Dogs will always have access to fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and lots of playtime and companionship. Before accepting a boarding request, I'd like to learn about your dog's personality, energy level, and any special needs to ensure they're a good fit for my home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where you can feel confident your furry family member is being cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and connecting with animals of all kinds is my greatest joy. Rescued is my favourite breed, and I specialize in watching senior pets and special needs pets. I have experience with seniors who require medications and particular care, as well as special needs, including but not limited to blind, deaf, and three-legged pets. I have a flexible work schedule and when I’m not at work, I’m a huge homebody and live alone, so your pet will get tons of one-on-one attention and love. I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own, and I only watch one dog at a time, so if your pet needs to be the sole pet, then we are a perfect fit. I do have one sweet senior guinea pig; she can be secured in another room if you’re worried about your pet bothering her. I absolutely love watching small pets as well and have tons of experience with guinea pigs. Please note that I currently work hybrid and go into work 2-3x a week. However I only have to be there from 10-3, so your pet would only be alone for a max of five hours. Luckily my work is super flexible, so if I need to adjust my hours or office days for your pet, please let me know and I can adjust my schedule. My office is also super dog friendly, if you think they’d like to come with me! My place is very quiet; I live alone and never have people over, and I’m home most of the time, so I’m great for anxious or shy pets. I also only board one dog at a time, so your pet will get 100% of my attention, which is also great for shy and nervous dogs who don’t do well with other dogs. (If you have two dogs I’m happy to watch them together, I just don’t watch dogs from different families at once.) I don’t have a backyard, but I do have a spacious balcony for your dog to sunbathe. I’m on the top floor and my building has an elevator, which is ideal for senior and special needs pups. Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment, from the couch to my bed, my home is their home.

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, growing up on a farm in rural Minnesota. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and have experience with various breeds. Familiar with toileting and feeding schedules, medication administration, and basic grooming. I want your pet to feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I am a current masters student only working part-time for the time being, looking to fill my schedule with positive pet encounters! I have plenty of free time for the rest of the summer and want to support pet parents in any way possible. I keep an open line of communication to make sure your concerns are addressed and your preferences are accounted for. Safety and comfort is a top priority, making sure your pet not only gets play time but that walks and other adventures are done with all dangers considered.

About: I grew up taking care of pets! My childhood dog Olivier was an unusual mix; he was an eye-catching, mutant-sized Dachshund who got a lot of attention walking down the street, and we had a couple of independent-minded kitties. My family still has multiple dogs and cats. I absolutely adore dogs and feel strongly about tuning in to who they are - if they want to play, it's on! If it's a shy guy or gal, I respect their space if and until they feel more comfortable. I facilitate healing workshops and I'm an artist with a variable schedule that I keep up-to-date on my Rover calendar. I'm currently living in a building that doesn't allow dogs and I love cats but am super allergic. So daily pet care for me is making friends with and greeting my doggy neighbors. When I've had pets or boarded them previously with Rover, I always make sure to find out the basics of their personality from you, their favorite human. They deserve the same consideration we give people! Currently only offering walks, not boarding.

“Molly is an amazing dog sitter! She showed up prior to walking the dogs to get acquainted and asked all the right questions that made us feel very safe to leave our furry babies with her. She definitely went above and beyond walking our dogs and making sure they got lots of love and cuddles even after she was done walking them. She kept us updated and posted photos consistently so we were always aware of what’s happening. I would definitely recommend Molly as a pet sitter and would definitely contact her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been around and lived with animals since I was born. I’ve never spent a period of my life without a dog in my care. I also have extensive experience caring for cats as well. I take not just the love and care of animals seriously but also training. I believe that a pet deserves to feel secure, safe and structured in life and that’s why I’m not just there to provide pets and food but also structured walks, mental stimulation and more. I have a Shetland sheepdog, so I understand the value in being more than just a caregiver to an animal. I work from home so I have the flexibility to stop by and walk your pet or care for them throughout the day. I also am done with work at 2 pm every day so my afternoons and evenings are very open. I have my own dog so I can’t spend every moment with your pet or at your house but I am able to be there consistently. I know first-hand just how scary it can be to leave your pet (your baby!) with someone else because of my unyielding love for animals and my personal attachment to the importance of being reliable, communicative and kind to pets in my care, you will never have to worry that your baby is in safe hands. I care for pets but not only being reliable and caring when it comes to affection, feeding and more but I try to be very structured with my care depending on the pet. For many dogs, that looks like walks every few hours, offering brain games like puzzles and trick training and setting them up for a relaxed and calm environment when they return home.

“Thank you so much!”

“Talia has truly been awesome and was so clutch when we had to make dog walking arrangements last second! Kira loves her and would highly recommend!! 10/10”

About: I have always cats and dogs most of my life. Worked for a dog training co. for several years. Love all breeds big and small. Patience and safety are most important. Currently I'm working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk your fur baby. I'm also available to sit with pets during the week and on weekends. At this time I am not able to board any pets. I can sit with pets at their home. I have the utmost respect for another persons property and their rules.

“Michael came and walked our pups as asked, then reported back. Our pups were happy to have him and we felt good with a trustworthy individual. Will book again soon”

About: Your pet is family, and I truly understand how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away. I’m a mature, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter who provides calm, attentive, and loving care in your home, hotel, or wherever you’re staying in Monterey County. I specialize in one-on-one pet sitting and focus on giving your dog my full attention. Whether you’re a local, traveling for work, or visiting the area on vacation, I’m happy to come to you — homes, hotels, vacation rentals, or other approved locations. I’m very responsible, patient, and understanding of dogs’ individual needs and personalities. My goal is to create a relaxed, safe environment so your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy meeting new people and dogs and take pride in building trust with both. You can expect consistent communication, dependability, and genuine care every step of the way. My commitment is simple: to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and very well taken care of — just as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing them with the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability for in-home and hotel pet sitting throughout Monterey County. I am available weekdays and weekends and schedule my commitments around each booking to provide reliable, attentive care. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, hotels, or vacation rentals, following all instructions closely. I prioritize safety, routines, cleanliness, calm energy, and one-on-one attention to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable.

About: I have over 10 years of dogsitting experience ranging from puppies to 20 year old senior dogs - and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm a dog mom to a 3-legged pup who is my world. I've never met a dog that I don't love - and it's (almost) always mutual; I've been called the dog-whisperer by many. I have time on the weekends, and sometimes during the week as my job is hybrid and offers flexibility. I also have specific times of the year that I have off from work (i.e. Christmas time) and am very available to help with pup needs! As someone who has a very friendly dog that can be slightly anxious at first, I approach all dogs I meet for the first time with caution, usually getting closer to their level before any contact. I am patient with the pups, knowing that some dogs take a little more time to get used to a new person. I always ask for all rules that an owner has (dogs allowed on furniture? specific treats they can get and how often) to ensure I don't throw off a dog's routine.

About: If you want peace-of-mind while you’re away, I’m the one you’ve been looking for! Hi! I’m Jabril, a fiction author with a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats. My clients remark on not only my dependability and communication but their pets’ genuine excitement every time I show up. If you’re someone who travels a lot, works insane hours or just needs a little more support, let me step in and take the load off! You can count on me to give your furry friend all the love they deserve because I know pet care is more than just feedings and walks—it’s about maximizing enjoyment and making the most of this life. I’m experienced with older dogs, good with puppies and can administer oral or topical medication. I specialize in long walks, extended sits and sensitivity to your furry friend’s every need. Maybe you’re a busy health care professional, public speaker or sales rep. Maybe long days at the office or extended trips keep you away longer than you’d like. I can be that other trusted adult, your dedicated pet nanny. For new clients, I require a short introductory visit at least 48 hrs before a sit, so I can acclimate to your furbabies in their natural environment, with you present.
