“Energetic & fun! Can’t wait to walk your pups!”
Hi there! My name is Molly. I have worked with dogs for over 20 years now, got my first dog at age 7, and I have 2 Pomeranians & a pitbulI. I have worked in animal shelters for years before, and most recently managed a dog boutique/grooming salon in West Hollywood. I have experience with taking dogs on long walks multiple times a day, feeding them, and taking them out for play time, etc. I’ve worked with injured pets, puppies, older dogs, administering medications, and some training as well!

My name is Alex and I've been living in Santa Monica for a little over nine years now. I love that West LA is so good for getting outside for runs, walks, bike rides, and hikes, and being active has become one of my favorite past times. I grew up with dogs but haven't had my own in years, so I'm excited that this app gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs again while getting my own exercise as well. I hope that I can match up with some athletic dogs that can run with me, as I know certain breeds need a lot more than just a walk around the neighborhood to really burn off their energy. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon.

“Your dog’s BEST FRIEND”
Hi, I'm Quinton! I have had various breeds of dogs while growing up (German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Bullmastiff just to name a few). I've fostered, groomed and walked many different breeds of dogs as well! I'm an overall fun and active person, so your dog will definitely have a great time with me! I love jogging too, so if you prefer that your canine friend is more active, I can definitely accommodate.

“All clothing I own is covered in dog hair.”
I've always been the one who everyone calls for anything dog related. I've volunteered at shelters, have worked for a pet behaviorist's radio show, grew up with dogs, and currently have two awesome low-rider pit mix rescue pups of my own. I know how much our dogs can affect every aspect of our lives, and I'd like to help alleviate your stress by making sure your buddies are well cared for while you're out. Let me know if your pups would like to go walking with me soon. I can't wait to meet them!

Hey there! I've been a dog/animal lover since I was a kid and have been walking dogs since I was a teenager. I walked dogs in the summers growing up and I've been dog sitting for friends for the past 4 years whenever they leave town. My family has a dog as well (a Cavalier King Charles named Sawyer) who I'm very close with and have spent countless hours playing with and taking care of. I'm looking forward to meeting some new dogs!

Dog Boarding in Playa Del Rey
Situated along the coast of California, Playa Del Rey is a beautiful area, but for some furry residents, a new home would be even more beautiful than the coastline views. Luckily for the homeless dogs in the area, there are animal shelters that take them in, feed them, provide medical care, and find them new homes. Two of these shelters are Forte Animal Rescue and the West Los Angeles Shelter.
Forte Animal Rescue’s mission is to inspire others to treat animals with compassion. The non-profit organization shelters and rehomes dogs, while also trying to find a solution to the pet-overpopulation problems in the area. The rescue also tries to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, solutions to pet-related problems, and rehoming pets. Established in 2003, Forte Animal Rescue has saved the lives of over 1,300 dogs. As a 100% no-kill rescue, Forte Animal Rescue doesn’t euthanize dogs that have been deemed unadoptable and instead tries to provide training to the animal.
The West Los Angeles Shelter is part of LA Animal Services. This shelter services a number of neighborhoods and nearby towns. The group of animal shelters run by LA Animal Services are all no-kill facilities that work extremely hard to find new homes for the homeless pets of the area. In addition to finding homes for adoptable pets, the group also educates people on animal cruelty and laws in the area.
If you are considering adopting a new pet, stop by either of these animal shelters. You just may find a new family member during your visit.
