I've been walking dogs and caring for pets professionally in the Pasadena area since 2018. I'm insured and bonded, I work solo, so the person at your door is always me, and I send a photo update after every visit.
Walking dogs and caring for pets as my full-time work, not a side gig.
Covered for the work I do in your home and on the leash.
I live here and walk here, roughly a 10-mile radius across the San Gabriel Valley.
You get a note on how the walk went plus photos, every single time.
I started pet-sitting professionally in 2018, but animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs and cats is what turned into the work I do every day now.
Most of my week is dog walking: recurring midday walks for people who work full-time, plus one-off walks and longer weekend routes. I know which Pasadena blocks stay shaded at 2pm, which Arroyo paths stay cool in August, and which streets are quiet enough for a reactive dog who needs space.
Walks are one-on-one unless the dogs share a home. That matters most for anxious, reactive, senior, or medicated dogs, the ones who do badly in a pack and get skipped over by app-based walkers who send someone different each time.
I also cover drop-in check-ins, daycare, boarding, and overnight sitting. And I'm a proud dog mom to Daphne and Panda, who are the reason I went this route in the first place.
I completely understand how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and your dog. The meet & greet is free precisely so you don't have to decide before you've met me.
