Dog Walking West Hills

“Sam has taken great care of our dog Rex over the past month, and also added on helping to care for our cats and house while we were away on vacation. He's very flexible and communicative, and has been accommodating to schedule changes throughout the holiday season. We're very thankful for his help in making sure all of our pets are safe and well-cared for when we're away from home!”

About: I’m one of those people that dogs are drawn to and I love animals; dogs, cats, horses. I give shots, meds, and have rescued, trained, rehabilitated and rehomed both dogs and horses. I am available daily, weekends, holidays to devote my time to caring for animals; I prefer full time employment with animals rather than people; dogs are my happy place. I can walk dogs in my safe neighborhood and always clean up after; my very large studio can accomodate up to 3 dogs,my couch, bed, is their couch and bed. I have dog beds and pads, leashes, collars, and a feeding supplies. Several walks a day; lots of attention, love, pack leadership,observant of behaviors.

“You know when a person really LOVES animals when your dog loves him on sight! Larry is that person. And he takes every care with my Sara that I would, like when encountering traffic. I absolutely trust him, especially when Sara comes home with a huge smile on her face.”

About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.

About: I've grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, energetic Pit Bulls, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual temperament, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and care that I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own cats for over seven years, I'm very accustomed to building my schedule around the needs of animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and am happy to accommodate their established routines, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet, especially in your own home, is a big decision, and it's a responsibility I take seriously. My priority is always making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's personality, routines, and individual needs, and I'm comfortable administering medications or following specialized care instructions. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm especially mindful of maintaining their familiar environment and respecting the owner's space. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, careful about following instructions, and always happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I give my own.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing with Lulu. She treated Lulu with so much kindness, patience, and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such loving hands. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and wonderful with dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again. ❤️”

About: I have spent more than a decade caring for my family’s beloved dogs and cats and have been around animals for most of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, energy levels, and support needs, which has taught me to be patient, observant, and responsive to each animal as an individual. I especially value taking the time to earn a pet’s trust and learn the routines and little cues that help them feel safe and comfortable. My professional background in mental health has also strengthened my ability to remain calm, attentive, empathetic, and sensitive to subtle changes in behavior. I bring that same approach to animal care. I have experience caring for senior dogs with varying medical and mobility needs and am comfortable providing additional support to both cats and dogs while closely following their owner’s instructions and established routine. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s individual needs. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, active play, or a slower pace, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care that matches their routine and personality. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your routines and instructions for walks, feeding, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.

About: I believe all the sitters from here are good. I only can speak for myself,I’m a highly sensitive person , I’ve been taking care of animals since my childhood, I was a part of a rescue team in Russia and trying to do the same over here ,I try to respect any kind of being no matter how small or big it is. I have 3-paw ginger boy Akio and his sister Tora . If you need help with your furry baby ,reach me out ✨🐾 As a pet owner I know how hard it is to find and trust someone you don’t even know or met before. What’s helping is to check and understand the personality of caregiver and look closer to her/his moral values and beliefs in a daily life (even before they create an account on this platform) ✨🐾🌸 I can be available most days during the week ,except some time frames when I have my trainings. Most of the time I prefer to spend with animals, since I have an ability to connect with them and understand their feelings and needs.

About: I think what sets me apart is the care and energy I bring to every pet I look after. I’m friendly, reliable, and very patient, genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a new experience for me, and I’m excited to learn and grow! I’m willing to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and eager to learn each pet’s needs while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m a caring and respectful person who wants every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would treat each pet and their home with kindness and respect, follow the owner’s instructions, and make sure their pet gets the attention and care they deserve.

“Kiya clicked with our dog, Miso. He gave great suggestions and is easy to work with. He was very understanding of our needs since our dog is home alone for long periods of time. Looking forward to working with him.”

About: I grew up with a plethora of animals — dogs, cats, desert tortoises, and hermit crabs — just short of a zoo! I’ve spent the late decade caring for the animals of friends and family, and take pride in my ability to provide a safe and happy environment for and form trusting relationships with any critter. I have extensive experience with elderly animals and those who need extra care (medications, diapers, blind and deaf assistance, mobility assistance, etc.) and have also cared for many reptiles like snakes and geckos. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I am a freelance worker and petsitter, so I can make myself available at any time, any day of the week. I am married, so my partner is able to care for our pup while I care for yours! It’s extremely important to me that both pet and owner are treated with the utmost respect, which means meeting all of the pet’s needs as well as taking pristine care of the owner’s home.

About: I’m twenty years old and have been taking care of my cat ever since I was ten. When my sister who is ten years older than me moved out she got two dogs and a cat, who I would care for regularly while she went out. The past two years I have been nannying for a family with two kids and four dogs, I would sometimes care for the dogs, walk them and feed them multiple times a day if the family needed to leave somewhere. I recently moved away from the area that was close to them so I am now looking for a new source of income as it is pretty difficult to find families to nanny for. If you would like to talk to her I can provide her phone number. I love animals so much and if you let me take care of them I will always make sure they don’t just eat and go on walks, but also are played with and entertained. :) I currently don’t have a job since we just moved so I am free every day except Sunday where I run all my errands and meal prep. I will update my info if I find a part time job. I have a cat at home and live with my mother, she would never allow another animal in the home sadly, but in your home I can stay with your animals and feed them, walk them, scoop litter, and of course keep them running around and playing.

About: I have lots of experience pet sitting and took care of three senior big dogs consistently for a year because of incompetent owners. I’ve also taken care of other kinds of pets my whole life, a rabbit, a cat, a lizard, etc. Love animals! I’m currently not working and have plenty of availability and time to spend with your babies! When my employment changes, I will update my availability! I’ll always respect your home and pets and if need be that they come to my home I have a fenced in front and back yard for your dog to play.

About: Hi! I have 3 years of volunteering experience in the animal shelter, I helped to find forever homes for 40+ dogs and 300+ cats during this time. Mainly I worked with shy animals who didn’t have likability and helped them to become social with people and other animals. I also have experience working with rabbits behaviors. When I volunteered I saved 100% of animals from euthanasia by making them adoptable. I’m attentive to every animal’s personality and I do my best to make them happy with me :) (Also I am vegan and I treat every animal I meet with respect) I’m self-employed, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Their care, exercise, and happiness will always come first. I provide a safe, caring environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I can crate if needed and always prioritize safety, supervision, and comfort.

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.

About: Hi! I'm Alan and I am so excited to meet you and your dog! There's nothing like the unconditional love of a dog, and I really enjoy learning about their individual personalities. Let's set up a meet and greet so we can get to know each other better. Meeting new dogs and new people brightens my day. If you're looking for a fun, creative and experienced sitter, you've come to the right place. I'm a great communicator and a great listener--I can send you tons of updates as well! It's really important for me to get on the dog's level so they can be comfortable with me. I have a very warm personality, and dogs can definitely sense that. I'd love to chat with you more to learn about you and your dog's needs. I'll leave you with a poem I wrote inspired by our furry friends. Black and White Thick and furry Fast as the wind Always in a hurry Couple of spots Rub my ears Always comes his name he hears Loves his ball; it's his favorite thing What's most fun for him? Everything! Great big tongue that licks my face Big brown eyes like moon pies He's my friend till the very end!

“Our dear Morty appreciates you. Thank you, Kainoa!”

“Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.”
