Dog Walker in Glendale, CA
Glendale sits at the western edge of my 10-mile radius, and it's a city of two dog-walking worlds: dense apartment blocks around Downtown and Brand Blvd, and the steep, quiet streets climbing into the Verdugos above them. I walk both. Downtown and Rossmoyne dogs usually get sidewalk loops toward Fremont Park or Brand Library's shaded lower paths; Verdugo Woodlands, Montrose and Chevy Chase Canyon dogs get hill routes with real elevation. I'm set up for buildings with callboxes, elevators and garage access, and I plan around Glendale's afternoon heat by moving longer walks to morning slots. Every walk is one-on-one, booked on your dog's schedule, and ends with a photo update and a short note on how it went. New clients start with a free 30-minute meet and greet at your home.

What Glendale Clients Say
"We started using Jessica a few months ago after our schedule changed and we needed someone reliable to walk our dog, Archie, during the week. I was a little nervous at first because Archie can be pretty selective with new people and sometimes takes a while to warm up, but Jessica was incredibly patient with him from the beginning. She took the time to learn his normal routine, where he likes to walk, what makes him nervous, and even the little things like which treats he prefers. Within a few visits, Archie completely warmed up to her. Now when he realizes Jessica is coming, he waits by the door and gets ridiculously excited. What I appreciate most is how dependable and communicative she is. She always lets us know how the walk went and will mention if Archie seemed tired, wasn't eating normally, or was acting differently than usual. That kind of attention really gives us peace of mind because it feels like she actually knows him rather than just showing up, walking him, and leaving. We also recently had Jessica watch Archie and our cat, Maple, while we were out of town. She kept us updated throughout the trip, made sure both of them were comfortable, and sent us pictures so we knew everything was going well. Maple usually hides from almost everyone, but somehow Jessica managed to win her over too. When we came home, both pets were completely relaxed and the house looked exactly how we left it. Archie wasn't anxious or overly energetic, which has definitely happened after we've traveled in the past. Jessica is kind, responsible, easy to communicate with, and most importantly, someone we completely trust with our pets and our home. If you're in Glendale or nearby and looking for a reliable dog walker or pet sitter, I would absolutely recommend her."
"I cannot say enough good things about Jessica's Pawwsitive Care! Finding someone you actually trust with your dog is so incredibly tough. I was honestly a little nervous about hiring a dog walker and handing my keys over to someone new, but Jessica completely put me at ease from our very first meet and greet. I have a sweet boy named Archie who is an absolute weirdo. We live over in Glendale, and Jessica takes him on the best walks around the neighborhood. Archie is a huge leaner and demands attention from everyone he meets. Jessica handles all of his quirks perfectly. She is super patient with him and really took the time to understand his personality. I always know exactly when she has arrived because Archie literally loses his mind with excitement at the front window when her car pulls up. She sends amazing updates, and I get a detailed little report and the cute photos of Archie. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is getting his energy out safely and having a blast. She also goes above and beyond with the little things. During the really hot summer weeks she is super mindful about the pavement temperatures and adjusts their walking routes to stay in the shade. She always makes sure his water bowl is topped off and gives him a treat before she leaves. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loving dog walker in the area, you absolutely have to go with Jessica. Archie and I really hit the jackpot finding her. Highly recommend!"
Dog Walking FAQs in Glendale
Can you walk a dog in a Glendale apartment building?
Yes. A lot of Glendale clients are in buildings around Brand Blvd and Downtown. I just need the gate or callbox code and elevator/garage access sorted at the meet & greet.
Is Glendale inside your service area?
Yes, Glendale is within my 10-mile radius of Pasadena. I cover Downtown, Rossmoyne, Adams Hill, Verdugo Woodlands, Montrose, Sparr Heights, Glenoaks Canyon and Chevy Chase Canyon. If you're on the far west side near Burbank, message me and I'll confirm before you book.
How much does a dog walk in Glendale cost?
$30 for 30 minutes and $45 for 60 minutes, the same as everywhere in my service area. There's no travel surcharge for Glendale. Add $10 per extra dog and $10 on major holidays.
Where do you walk dogs in Glendale?
It depends on where you are. Downtown and Rossmoyne dogs usually get neighborhood sidewalk loops or Fremont Park, hillside clients get Brand Park, Adams Hill or Chevy Chase Canyon, and dogs who need distance get Deukmejian Wilderness Park or the climb behind Brand Library.
Do you walk on the Verdugo hills in summer?
Only early or late. From roughly June to September I move hill and trail walks to morning slots and keep midday walks flat and shaded, checking pavement temperature before we head out.
Do you do group walks?
Walks are one-on-one unless the dogs are from the same household. Your dog gets the whole 30 or 60 minutes.
Ready for your first walk in Glendale?
