Dog Walking Whittier

“Thank you for taking blanco on long walks I know he really enjoys them and it helps put my mind at ease knowing he’s getting checked on and taken care of while I’m at work.”

About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was a child myself! From Pomeranians, to terriers, to huskies, I enjoy caring for them all. Your dogs will love hanging with me and going for walks. I have a very quiet, stress-free home (just me and my husband) which will especially be great for dogs that are sensitive to loud noises. I will do all I can to make sure they are treated like family and feel comfortable with me. I’m currently off work for the Summer as I am employed in a school district. I don’t go back until late August so I have pretty open availability aside from some events here and there over the Summer. Whether you need overnight care or just a couple hours of day sitting, I’d be happy to help. I have a one bedroom apartment with pretty open space. It’s just me and my husband (who works until 5pm). We’re in a neighborhood where I can safely take your dog for walks or outside to use the restroom. We do not have a fenced yard… but there is a grassy area for your pets to use the restroom right outside.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life and I love animals. I hold a special place in my heart for seniors. I have fostered several senior Golden Retrievers over the years and I can’t resist those frosted faces. Making your pet feel safe and happy while you are away is my main goal. I can make myself available for house/pet sitting at your home overnight, sticking to your established routine and making sure everyone is happy. I love getting to know each family and I’m happy when we bond. I believe when a pet parent is away it’s important to keep pets on their normal routine, or as close to that as possible so they feel safe and happy with me. I keep pets on leash anytime they are outside, unless they are in their own yard- then I keep a watchful eye out. Your pets safety is important, and my safety is too. Please let me know ahead of time if there will be people in the house with me overnight, I will need to meet them ahead of time. Also please let me know where cameras are in the house for my privacy. I book clients that are upfront and honest, patient and easygoing. Please no drama, no snooping neighbors, no surprise visitors or surprise roommates. I absolutely will not tolerate dishonesty and/or unkindness.

About: I was a Veterinary technician for 5 years in both a Veterinary Clinic setting and at the Humane society. I am currently a Veterinary student pursuing a doctorate of veterinary medicine. I am currently home for the summer and have a relatively open schedule for pet care, I am available for most of the week unless I have personal matters to attend. I am familiar with different leash equipment that will fit your preference and I will of course follow all instruction provided to guarantee care and comfort for your fur kids :)

About: I've taken care of many breeds of dogs since I was 8. I've been told by friends and family that I am reliable when it comes to bathing, walking and playing around the pups. I'm currently working a part-time job with it being extremely flexible. So my schedule will be fitted around my availability around it. Aside from that, my availability would be typically In the mornings-mid afternoon as well as weekends. Just give me a message and we can go from there! If I were to care for pets in my home or someone else's, I would make sure to keep chocking hazards out of sight. As well as foods that could potentially be dangerous to said pets. If there were certain rules to follow, I would follow. I would also keep in contact with clients for any updates on their pets. If I were also to be in a clients home, I would make sure I'm not doing anything I'm not suppose to be doing other than take care of their animals

“Very gracious and professional, Nancy and my Terrier clicked nicely—grateful to have had this option to boarding my dog in my absence! Thank you Rover and Nancy G. Richard Cisneros”

About: Thoughtful, dependable care and clear communication are at the center of how I approach pet sitting. I’ve always naturally connected with animals and enjoy providing warm, attentive care that helps them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting, drop-in care and overnight stays, I’m very comfortable maintaining pets’ routines and helping them feel settled and comfortable in familiar spaces. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, fish and reptiles, which has helped me become very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care. What sets me apart most is my attentiveness, communication and calm presence. I understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos and dependable care throughout each stay. I’m patient, respectful of your home and strive to care for pets in a way that feels personalized to their needs and personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime and regular companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I understand how important routine and familiarity can be for animals, so I always try to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible while providing plenty of attention, patience and companionship. I’m very attentive to details such as feeding instructions, walking routines, medications if needed, household preferences and any behavioral or comfort needs your pet may have. I also make it a priority to keep spaces clean, secure and respectful throughout each stay. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.

About: In the past, my dogs have had many health issues which means I had to give them the most attention and care. I have had big and small dogs that require lots of walks, feeding, and medicine. I go to school in Costa Mesa in the morning/day and I have rehearsal for theater at night. This leaves me with lots of time in between and I don’t want to drive home and back in that time because I live a bit far. I usually spend my time walking anyways. When watching over a dog on a walk or in the house, I make sure they are enjoying my company because I am a guest to them. I made sure they are safe at all times and are given attention and unconditional love. I like to stay on the pets normal schedule so that they like me and want to be my friend.

About: I have had had animals all my life! I have experience training dog and animal behavior. You can trust me with your pet! I currently have a 3 year chihuahua and 1 year cat both very friendly. I currently am not working so your pets will be have full attention. I'm available on weekdays and weekends if needed! For any special requests please contact me! I am open to anything! I live in downstairs apartment, open floor plan, with lots of gated grass areas. We go outside all the time! We have a great dog friendly community. lots local parks in area and dog park.

About: I am a college senior studying insects and environmental science. I love to spend time in nature and learn about the bonds humans and animals can have! I love all living things and live by kindness and respect for what nature has provided to us. I love dogs, but do not currently own one. I have a wonderful 3-year-old pet bearded dragon at home, so I am very experienced in how much time and effort it takes to have a little creature depend on you. I love to spend time outside and am an active hiker and nature walk participant. I love to stop and admire greenery and rocks as a dog would, so I am sure I'd get along with many of them! I currently go to school full-time, and I am available most evenings and during lunch times, as well as in the mornings. I will take any time out of my day when I am free to hang out with dogs! I currently live on an open campus with lots of green area, there is more than enough space for a puppy to roam around, there is also multiple parks nearby that dogs tend to frequent. I'd be more than happy to take the pup wherever they please!

About: I grew up with and cared for all kinds of pets, even farm animals! I currently have 3 cats and 2 puppies. I've also cared for pets in clients homes as a caregiver. I'm currently doing school online so I have a lot of free time to hang out with your fur baby and a flexible schedule for consistency. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest. I closely follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. Communication is key so of course you'll be getting updates and some cute pics of your babies.

About: I love doggies! The best companions and friends anyone can have! The more love one gives them the longer they give love back ❤️🙏🏽 Truly miracles! Sundays and Mondays anytime and also available in the evenings after 6pm. I have a pup of my own and know others need someone reliable who they can trust to watch their babies! My baby is an indoor dog. I rescued him from a shelter and fell in love! He likes to play ball and play with his toys. Cuddles all night & the best buddy ever. Has been my solid support through my divorce!

About: Hiya! My name is Jessica and I love animals! I have a happy and healthy guinea pig at home named Zoe. I used to work at Banfield Animal Hospital and currently work at an animal hospital in Whittier so I have experience with illnesses and giving medication if needed. I also used to work for Petsmart for 5 years, and for 2 of those years I worked in the pets hotel taking care of the cats and dogs. This included cleaning up after them, feeding them snacks and meals, and providing playtimes and walks. I also supervised up to 14 dogs at a time during group playtimes. I also went to school to become a Vetrinary Technician and I am currenty working on getting my registration licence. Each animal has their own personality, and I love getting to know every single animal to discover those personalities because it's the cute little quirks that make them so loveable! I work at a local animal hospital, so currently Rover is my side hustle, so to speak. My work schedule is pretty regular, with being free in the evenings for drop-ins and always available for house-sitting. Caring for fur babies at your home or where you will be staying if visiting will vary as rules are different for each pet. One thing I can guarantee is that all animals will be brought in at night. Cats will never leave the indoors and dogs will always be leashed on walks or when outside.

About: I love animals. All my life I have had at least one dog growing up. I have my own mixed Australian Shepard who I love very much. I got her during the pandemic as a puppy and completely trained her on my own. I am currently studying for the law school entrance exam. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop by as needed and have my own transportation. Please do not hesitate to get to know me and consider me to take care of your best friend. I am currently only focused on studying and have a completely flexible schedule. I like to maintain an organized schedule and keep my appointments in an agenda to ensure I am on top of my pending appointments. I make sure to keep a clean environment for my clients and their pets. I also respect the dog’s space, as some pets may be hesitant in trusting strangers at first, and slowly building their trust. Most importantly, as a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving their fur baby with a sitter. I try to alleviate this stress by send updates and pictures to the client to reassure their pet’s well-being.
