Dog Walking West Side

About: I've grown up fostering puppies and eventually taking care of three family dogs. Additionally, I've volunteered for a cat rescue group known as 'Cats In Need.' Aiding in adoption days, active enrichment, flea removal treatments and of course loving affection. I provided basic needs such as food, water, and cleanliness. I'm currently a full-time college student with great availability! Pet care is just like second nature to me as I grew up with three dogs, and even own a crested gecko. I'm an early riser, love to be active and fit, love to be around nature and stay cozy inside. My busiest days are Tuesday and Thursday, only one lecture on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the rest of the week is completely free. I am in a fairly well sized studio apartment with a gated area of grass! Currently my only pet is a crested gecko who is in a terrarium and does not make too much noise nor poses a concern. Clients are free to sleep on my bed, and get the utmost affection from me. Staying actively enriched is important, so many toys, simple training, and walks are provided!

“We are fairly new to Long Beach, and we recently started working with Mario to look after our dog and provide walks for him, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Mario was very communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring towards our pup. Our dog’s breed can often be protective and standoffish to new people, but Mario was instantly connecting with him and able to offer some commands to keep him calm. Mario also sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Mario for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter, dog walker and trainer!”

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.

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.

“Paula was professional and great with my dogs. She took really good care of them on their walks. Thank you. I will hire again in the future.”

“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!!”

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.

“Natalie was heaven sent, I requested a super last minute booking that required drop off/pick up for doggy daycare. Natalie was super communicative, professional and so friendly! Definitely book with Natalie for a trusted human that will absolutely love your animal!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I have three and I know dog behaviors very well. I love being around dogs and I own a jumpy dog so I know very well how to handle them! I am available any time needed currently! Any normal or odd time I can do! I can be there whenever you need and am okay with any time at all. I can handle any accommodation needed, like crating at certain times, extremely specific things needed done, etc! I can handle any specific schedule and any key details about your baby!

“Great experience! Brendan was punctual, followed all my instructions, and kept me updated with photos of Bonnie. He was patient with her, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book him again!”

“Nicolas did such a great job with our dog! I was so appreciative of all the photos and videos he sent. She can be a handful but I knew she was in great hands!”

About: I’m a true animal lover, they have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to parakeets and fish. Dogs have held a special place in my heart for over 20 years, and the bond I’ve shared with my own has taught me just how deeply pets feel love, patience, and consistency. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who may need extra care, medications, or a little more tenderness and attention. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Clear communication helps ensure the best experience for everyone, so I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are accurate and that you let me know as soon as possible if plans change. Drop-off and pick-up hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Please note: For the safety, comfort, and happiness of all pets, dogs in my care must be fully house-trained and get along very well with other dogs. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend lots of one-on-one time with them. I love giving plenty of cuddles, playtime, and gentle exercise, making sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and love taking dogs on easy, enjoyable walks through calm streets or over to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully. Above all, I focus on keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and happy, making sure they feel loved and well cared for the whole time they’re with me. 🐾

“Casandra was wonderful with my pup Sokka. She was able to walk him and short notice and was wonderful communication. Would definitely recommend ☺️”

About: I started caring for pets through Rover in 2018 because I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals. Spending time with pets brings me a sense of happiness and calm, and I love being able to provide them with companionship, attention, and care. I’m someone who enjoys quiet time, being outdoors, and going on walks, which makes caring for dogs such a great fit for my lifestyle. I took some time away from Rover while focusing on a new career opportunity, but now that I’m more settled, I’m excited to return and continue doing something I truly enjoy. While I’m not currently able to have a pet of my own, I love the opportunity to care for and spend time with pets through Rover. It allows me to give each pet my full attention while providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision for your pet and be able to keep up with their needs and routines. I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My condo is clean and comfortable, with nearby parks and walking areas for dogs to enjoy. For in-home visits, I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have experience with caring for cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. I'm comfortable with watching all types of animals and any type of instructions. Your animal is also your child and i will treat them as such, just as if they were mine. I currently work part time, I'd fit pet sitting/walking in when I can. Any questions on my availability can be answered through messages. I live in a gated apartment and have the only patio in the building where my kitty gets to sun-gaze and lay. Kuroko is a inside cat who occasionally goes outside but blue eyed cats have sensitivity to the sun, so I try to keep him indoors. I feed him wet food at 10am with salmon oil, and wet mixed with dry food for dinner at 8pm with quail egg. He's on a wet diet but sometimes kibble for his teeth cleaning. I clean his litter and play with him sometimes, he usually like to sleep. :)

“Awesome job and loving care for our Lilly.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs like a 10-year-old. I understand their needs for patience, gentle exercise, proper feeding, and close attention. I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I work 40 hours a week, but I am available to check in on pets after work on weekdays. I am also fully available on weekends and holidays, making it easy to provide consistent care, walks, or playtime when pets need attention. I provide a safe and calm environment for every pet in my care. At my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have a comfortable space, access to fresh water, and supervision at all times. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely, ensuring their safety and well-being. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect, so owners can feel confident while they’re away.

About: Pet parent for 15+ years, pet auntie for 25+! I’m all about long walks, playtime, snuggles, meds when needed, and treating your pet like they’re one of my own. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and medication visits throughout the week. I’m active and love being outside, so longer walks are always welcome too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to routines, body language, medications, feeding instructions, and the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors and gates, and happy to send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing.
