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.

“Cathy totally took care of my little ones while I was away for the weekend. She went above and beyond making sure they got food, meds, cuddles & took good walks. She even helped to keep my senior pup clean, dry & comfy. She’s communicative & kept the house in good shape too. Definitely working w/ her again.”

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.

About: I owned a dog named Maxy for 12 years. We went on many walks throughout her life. Now that she’s passed I would love the opportunity to walk many other dogs. I love long walks and I’ll make sure your dog can stop and sniff plants for as long as they want. I’ll also provide water for them. I’m currently working part time in the evening so I have plenty of time to walk your dog in the day time during weekdays. I will keep your dog leashed at all times and away from dangerous situations. I will provide them with water and some treats. I will walk them for as long as you’d like. I will give them time to sniff plants. I can provide you with pictures throughout the walk.

“Gabby is the best! Her walks with Lovebug are perfect and she sends the cutest pics and videos. Lovebug has the best time with her and gets so excited to see her.”

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 is very professional and dedicated. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed by the knowledge and experience Mario brought. We could definitely tell that he loves working with dogs and that he is an expert at handling dogs. Most importantly, our dog warmed up quickly to Mario -- so much so she wanted to follow him at the end of the session. I highly recommend Mario to all dog parents out there. I know for sure my dog is in good hands when I work with Mario!”
