Dog Walking West Side

About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was in middle school. Over the years, family friends, neighbors, and personal connections have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering basic care, and providing plenty of love and attention, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Spending time with animals is truly a joy, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently on my summer break from college and have open availability until the end of August! I am very flexible and always open to meeting your lovely animals! When I am in a clients home caring for their pet, my ultimate goal is keep their routine consistent and stress-free in order to encourage a comfortable environment while you’re away. All instructions provided will be carefully read, understood, and implemented! It’s important to acknowledge that every animal has their own unique personality and needs, requiring different levels of care, patience, and attention which I am happy to provide. Additionally, I understand the level of trust it takes to let someone into your home. I will ensure your home is treated with my utmost respect and is returned to exactly the way you left it! I can always provide photos of your pets or space if you would like.

About: I grew up with animals my entire life ( including exotic and farm), volunteered at the wildlife rehab center, and local vet hospital throughout college. From cats, dogs, birds, snakes, lizards, newts, any furr or slimey critter that needs love and attention while you're away! Senior or adolescent I'm experienced with caring for any age, dietary, attention, or medications needs :) I'm a cancer survivor so caring for myself and pets its my job! I'm available to be a regular friendly face every week or supplement support when you have long days or stuck at work! I'm located right in downtown long beach and familiar with safe parks to take your pets to, or happy to entertain them at their home in a safe space :) I'm very attentive and adjust my approach according to your pets comfort.

“Gabby was wonderful with Lovebug. She was super sweet and Lovebug connected with her right away. They clearly had the best walk because in the pics Gabby shared Lovebug had the biggest smile. She followed instructions perfectly and made sure the walk was just right. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“Really appreciated having Giovanny being available to walk my dog Gnocchi. From the second we booked, he was communicative and clear. All note and instruction I sent, no matter how vague, he was able to make the most of. He cleaned up a little accidents that happened where he did not need to. Definitely a solid choice if anybody is in need of doggy care!”

“Loralie was awesome and helped me out last minute to walk my dogs! She took them out separately so they can each get some good exercise in and it was a great idea. They’re still napping!! ?? I’ll definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Loralie!!”

“Jessica was great! She's super flexible & accommodating! She's very responsive when messaging. It's always so hard for us doggie parents to leave our pups, so I especially liked receiving all the pictures & details about their walk. She has a lot of experience with dogs of all ages. I was confident she could handle my senior dogs. We will book with Jessica again!”

About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!

“Linda started walking my dog Rainy yesterday and everything went great!! My friend and neighbor met Linda and told me that Rainy loved her. Linda sent me lots of pictures and provided a great summary of her time w Rainy. This is such a huge help to me. Very happy we found Linda!”

About: I am an animal lover and have two furry friends myself. I adopted my cat when she was two years old. She is a calico and her name is Bunny. She previously came from a hoarding situation and had a few homes before me. Bunny is very special to me as she is my first pet I ever adopted. She is the sweetest, sassiest, and most photogenic cat you’ll meet. I also have a 1 year old mini golden doodle that is a ball of energy. He is the cutest little teddy bear looking puppy you will ever lay eyes on. He loves bones, new friends, and going on walks. He is still a puppy so he will bark at all the dogs he sees but he is friendly and never had any problems with other pets. I have also had years of experience with dog and cat sitting in the past. I will make sure your pets are very well taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure your furry friends have the best time ever. I am currently only working a few days a week so I have a lot of availability for any walks and any house sitting needs. Safety is my top priority so I will make sure your furry friend is in good hands while you are away. I will make sure to play, walk, feed, and give any attention needed.

“Mario has been great! With both the meet/greet and the walk were professional while also being very helpful. Mario’s experience with training definitely comes in handy for my pup. She came back very happy from her walk and I can alrwsdy tell they will get along brilliantly together. Definitely book Mario again and again.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years, with the last 5 years being much more regular, including several years on Rover. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and senior dogs, and I have experience giving medication. For drop-ins, I can handle potty breaks, feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on what your pet needs. For house sitting, I work remotely from your home during the day and stay overnight. I’ll plan my schedule around important feeding, walking, and medication times. I may leave during the day or evening for errands or plans, typically for no more than about four hours at a time. Sometimes they are guest stars in some zoom calls :) I’m big on communication. I’ll send photos, videos, and updates as often as you’d like. I know it’s much easier to relax while you’re away when you know your pet is happy and doing well.

I understand the importance that they are not only taken care of while you’re away, but living their best life. When I am caring for your fur baby, my number one priority is that they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I am comfortable and more than capable of caring for all types and breeds of pets, and am especially great with pets that require more experienced care (senior pets, special needs, high energy, shy/nervous). I am just as obsessed with your pet as you are, you can expect lots of updates and pics while you are away, as well as a piece of mind knowing you’re pet is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet your pet!

“We cannot recommend Nicole enough as a dog walker! She went above and beyond for our dog, LT, while we were out of town. Initially, we had scheduled her for one visit a day, but Nicole was incredibly flexible and offered to come twice a day to make sure LT was happy and well cared for. LT absolutely adored her, and it was clear from the start that she has a natural way with animals. Nicole also kept us updated throughout our trip, sending thoughtful messages and fantastic photos of LT enjoying his walks. It gave us so much peace of mind to know he was in such great hands. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and professional, Nicole is the perfect choice!”
