The Pet Groupies are the absolute best group of pet loving humans there is! Nicole runs a super communicative business with great technology and has assembled an incredible group of walkers. My dog was an anxious and reactive German shepherd who did not like strangers coming in the house and she always ensured she had someone who he was familiar with and knew his quirks which gave me such peace of mind. Not to mention, when my dog passed, Nicole went above and beyond to help me donate his things and make sure I was supported through my grief which I didn't know to ask for, but she was kind and thoughtful enough to offer. I've personally recommended them to all of my friends and family and everyone has had amazing experiences! read more

Love The Pet Groupies! I have been using them for years ever since my dog was a puppy. I appreciate the cute photos and even cuter notes they send after each walk. They take instructions very well and have an easy app to book walks on. All the walkers have been so kind to myself and my dog Billy. I also appreciate the flexibility to cancel when needed since I'm a freelancer. Thank you for all that you do for my Billy boo! read more

Nicole and team have fantastic communication and their App makes it very easy to book/cancel anything. I also love seeing the walk photos that get sent after each walk!

Though I've only been using the Pet Groupies for a short amount of time, I love Nicole & her team so much! They are so reliable and trustworthy, and since using their services, my doggy seems happier. I love how accommodating they are as well to any special requests or last minute changes, as mine and my boyfriend's work schedules include long hours and occasional fluctuations. The status updates and photos of my dog from her activity for the day are a plus as well :) If you are in need of a dog walker in NELA, look no further! read more

Nicole and her team of fabulous people at The Pet Groupies have been taking care of my pup for quite a few months now and I couldn't ask for a better team. They are all loving and attentive to my little dude Willie and I always know he will be well tended to. The scheduling is easy and allows me to focus on work and not worry whether someone will be arriving to take him out. The photos and little summary make us smile every day! Dependable, caring and amazing people all the way around. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks for all that you do Pet Groupies! read more

Nicole and her whole team are incredible and our two terriers love them - we use them for walks, yard visits and overnights. They are very communicative and always send lots of updates and pics. I can tell Batman and Wanda love their whole staff bc they get SO excited when we run into them in the neighborhood. So happy to have them in the highland park area and highly highly recommend. The sitters always leave the house super tidy and take excellent care of them when we travel! read more

We have been using Pet Groupies regularly for the last 4 years - weekly for walks and also for overnights when we are out of town. They have been a wonderful resource and our dog loves them. Their communication is excellent with frequent updates and photos. We know we can count on them. read more

This review is LONG overrated! I've been trusting The Pet Groupies to take care of my two boys for the past few years and I can't thank Nicole and her team enough. From walks to hikes, the level of care and attention is next level. My boys love their team of walkers, some have been walking them for 3+ years and I trust them with my boys 100%. They even check in on my cat when I am traveling. I highly recommend The Pet Groupies! read more

Nicole and her team are simply amazing with our Puppy Mars. They take him on dog walks when we are both at work, and when he was a small puppy, they played with him in our backyard and sent us plenty of photos of him while they are playing or walking with him! Their prices are reasonable and Nicole is the sweetest. They take direction well and Mars loves her and her team! read more

I love Pet Groupies! All the walkers who have walked my dog are great, but Olive is our usual walker. She is so sweet, conscientious and leaves really detailed notes! They have nothing but love for the dogs! Always on time and thoughtful. Love Pet Groupies and will highly recommend! read more

The Pet Groupies - They always provide photos of the walk! ❤️ - Dog Walkers Near Me

We love the pet groupies! We have used both their walking and dog sitting services and our dogs love them!

My cat Luther had a great time hanging out with Megan! Nicole and Megan were very responsive to my request for cat-sitting over an upcoming weekend, and I was very impressed at their professionalism, friendliness, and promptness. We filled out a questionnaire on what Luther needed, what the house needed, any preferences Luther had with certain things...then we met with Megan ahead of time to hand over the keys and also so that Luther could meet her in advance and not wonder, "who is this person??" when we were out. The meeting was friendly and great, and we were off! We had texts updating us on Luther while we were out, which included some Luther-in-action shots with him and some of his favorite wand toys. It really put us at ease with leaving him at home. What a wonderful service, and such friendly people. Highly recommended! read more

The Pet Groupies is just what I was looking for. Nicole walked my dog herself for the first couple of weeks, and then slowly eased 2 more walkers (one at a time) into the rotation for added flexibility. This was great since my dog is large, strong, high energy, and tends to challenge new handlers. My dog has been professionally trained, and Nicole understood how important it was for me that he not be allowed to slip back into bad habits (pulling, lunging, reactivity), which ultimately leads to a breakdown in his training. His walkers take their time, holding my dog accountable for adopting a proper mental state instead of just allowing him to strike out and lead the walk himself! I feel heard, and like my instructions and warnings are being followed and heeded. Since it concerns the safety of my beloved pet, I truly appreciate it. read more

Nicole and all her walkers are true dog lovers and dog whisperers. I had a complimentary consultation with Nicole before our first walk. My shy, sometimes stubborn and snippy boy took to her right away. She walked him herself for the first week before introducing him gradually to a new walker. Pet Groupies is professional and reliable. I never have to worry - if someone is sick or unable to make it, Nicole will make sure there is a replacement. I get a notification once they've arrived and a report with pictures after each walk. Peace of mind for my fur baby while I'm at work is priceless. Cannot thank you all enough read more

Nicole and her team are FABULOUS. I absolutely know that our two Greyhounds are in the best hands with the Pet Groupies. They are trustworthy, respectful and responsible - always timely and really delightful to work with. And bonus - they take the best pictures of George and Ellie! I don't hesitate to recommend the Pet Groupies to anyone I know looking for a dog walker or pet sitter. They are the best! read more

It is almost impossible for me to express my gratitude for The Pet Groupies with mere words alone. They are a-maz-ing. Not only are all the dog walkers in the service wonderful and great with animals, but they are also so flexible and affordable. Last-minute day trip coming up on the weekend? They will be there to walk your dog. Dog sitting for another animal? They have no problem walking your four-legged guest as well. In addition to all of this, The Pet Groupies send you a photo of your pet every day they walk them. That sounds small, but it means so much to see a picture of my smiling dog when she's out for a stroll. It makes my day every time. I can't recommend The Pet Groupies enough. They are life savers and the best dog walkers in the business. read more

I could not love Nicole and her team of people at Pet Groupies MORE and that goes for my dog Gus too. They are like extended family and we are so grateful to have access to this kind of love and exercise for our lil dude esp in the pandemic. They are trustworthy, always on time, great at communicating and real animal lovers. I always feel he is safe and know he's having a blast and when he gets home from a hike he's super tired and content. Hire Pet Groupies! Thank me later! read more

I am so beyond grateful for The Pet Groupies! My partner and I use them at least 3x per month, frequently more depending on how life is going, and I'm constantly impressed with how incredible they are! Nicole has assembled an amazing group of humans, and I'd trust any of them to be with my dog at any point. I'd like to share a story to give you a sense of how incredible these people are. One day when one of the Pet Groupies came by to take our pug Raymond out, they noticed a giant box outside the door which indicated there was food in the box that needed to be taken care of immediately. They went ahead and took everything out of the box, reorganized my freezer to make it all fit, and were kind enough to let me know that everything had been taken care of. This, by no means, was their job or an expectation I had, so I was completely blown away when I found out what had happened! Nicole and her team are absolutely wonderful. As you can see, they go above and beyond to take care of things while we're away. The frequent updates when I'm away from my dog, which always includes silly pictures, assures me that he is in good hands and I'm so incredibly grateful for them! read more

We've been using the Pet Groupies for cat sitting when we travel for about 5 years, and we love them. Nicole is easy to contact and responsive in scheduling, and has worked with us even when we have weird schedules. The sitters all give the cats tons of attention and send us great pictures and updates, so we never need to worry about them while we're gone. Everything is always in order when we get home. Would definitely recommend the Pet Groupies! read more

I started using Pet Groupies about a month ago after I headed back to work again. They walk our two dogs, Napoleon and James Brown, four times a week and we've had a great experience so far and can't recommend them enough! I met Nicole and Andy when they first came by to meet our boys. Our dogs loved them both immediately and they were also really attentive to everything I wanted to relay to them about my pups. Since they've been walking them, we've enjoyed daily updates and seriously- some of the best photos we've ever seen of our dogs! Also, our shy cat has started making appearances in photos, showing that he also clearly approves of The Pet Groupies. It's awesome to know we can easily schedule an additional visit if needed and we also have someone else to turn to for help if we decided to head out of town for the weekend without our pups! read more

Nicole and the pet groupies are amazing. My work schedule changed earlier this year and I was worried about leaving my 10 month old puppy alone for most of the day. I reached out to Nicole after finding her on yelp and she got back to me the same day and was willing to meet my dog and I a few days later to see our place and get to know us. The process of getting started with daily walks was so effortless! I really appreciated that Nicole and her team were so ready and available to take care of my dog. I got really sick and had to spend time in the hospital, and all I had to do was send a text to Nicole and she made sure that my dog was taken care of for the few days that I wasn't able to be with him. The walkers will also send the most adorable pictures that always made me know my dog was safe and having fun during the day. Thank you Pet Groupies for the peace of mind and all your help! read more

I wouldn't trust anyone else on the planet with my dogs or my house keys. This woman and her staff have become family. I totally trust her. Love how she always sends me pics when she visits them too. She's the BEST! read more

Here are the brass tacks about Nicole and the Pet Groupies. 1) Nicole and her team are excellent with communication. Every walk they take my pooch on, I get a text with photos. They ask the right questions and take their job seriously. 2) Absolutely reliable. I've had things come up last minute, everything from a walk to an overnight stay, and Nicole always does her best to accommodate. To date, I don't think Nicole has ever given me a "Sorry, we can't make that work!" 3) Nicole and every one of her team members are easy to work with, warm and genuinely love the pets they take care of. I was using L.A. Dogz for my NELA dog walking, but when Nora folded the company, I was convinced I'd never find someone as trustworthy and lovely as them. Nicole and the Pet Groupies came to my rescue, and now my admittedly high maintenance pitbull, Dame Maggie Smith, is in excellent hands! Thanks, Pet Groupies! read more

Me and my dog, Django, are so thankful for the Pet Groupies! They provide super caring and reliable service for affordable rates, including sweet little updates on walks and services that make you feel like your pet is loved. They have also been great in a pinch with last minute walk requests and respond very quickly to any questions. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. I've been using Pet Groupies on a weekly basis for years and they are amazing! And their scheduling system is so easy to use. Nicole and her team are all so caring, communicative and responsible. My pups love them more than me, I think:) read more

Work became very hectic and my poor dog Pepper was suffering from my busy schedule and inability to take our daily walks. I had never hired a dog walker before but after seeing yelp reviews and referrals on a neighborhood FB page I decided to contact Nicole at The Pet Groupies. She responded quickly and set up an appointment right away to come meet myself and my pets! Nicole is phenomenal. She's professional, relaxed and kind. Pepper took instantly to her. After she had done a few walks herself to get to know Pepper she sent Jenna to us. Jenna has been a blessing! She treats Pepper (and our other dog Cayenne) like her own. They have created a wonderful bond. If Pepper has her way Jenna might become the newest member of our motley crew! I haven't used The Pet Groupies for pet sitting but would not hesitate to do so if my usual sitter is away. read more

Nicole and ThePetGroupies are amazing. The current reviews nail it: Nicole is professional, responsive and our fur kids love her. James and Susie help out with walking our pups and house sitting and we know our pups love their walk time! The dogs and cat *know* true animal people and we consider James and Susie and Nicole part of the family already. They send pictures after or during walks and it's clear our furry family is always super excited to see them and it's a small gesture that goes such a long way in helping ease any stress I might have had about working late or being away from the furries. So happy to have found the pet groupies! read more

We have used Pet Groupies twice in the last year to care for our two cats when we took long vacations. We received daily email updates and photos while we were away, so we were reassured that our kitties were eating and happy. This was our first experience with a professional service and we will keep relying on Pet Groupies because of the excellent results. Animal lovers know that we can't be happy unless we're sure our companions are happy too. These guys make that happen and we're so grateful to them. read more

I don't even know how to praise The Pet Groupies enough! I'd been living in LA for six years before someone slipped me their name and my life changed from that moment on! I have three senior dogs each with consistent medical needs (seriously- all their pills and schedules confuse even me and I'm doing it every day) and it is SUCH A RELIEF to know with full confidence that my dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for when I need to get out of town. They go above and beyond to make sure that my kiddos are as comfortable as possible and they also do the same for me while I'm gone as well (I.e.- photos, stories, making sure that lights are on/off, etc...). My incredibly picky and easily-stressed pups love everyone in this group and I know your pets will too. To Nicole, Mel, and the gang- thank you all soooo much for what you do!! read more

We've been using Pet Groupies for about 2 years and they have always been so amazing with our sweet but very nervous and shy dog. Since the beginning, Nicole knew exactly how to build up her trust by always being patient with her. Everyone Nicole has sent has been lovely and dedicated to working with our dog despite her anxiety. I can highly recommend Pet Groupies to anyone with an anxious dog! read more

I just learned about the Pet Groupies the day before I left for Joshua Tree, in need of a Sat nightly visit/walk and one in the morning on Sunday. I just moved to Glassell Park and my previous pet sitter is now too far to look after my little monsters, so I took a gamble on The Pet Groupies. Not only were they able to take care of the two sittings, but immediately made me feel incredibly comfortable with their perfect mixture of professionalism, and the casual way you'd joke with a friend about your pets. I had no hang ups about leaving a key to my apartment, and the responsibility of my pet's welfare in the hands of Nicole and her staff. I love that they're musicians/artists, I love that they took happy pictures of my babies (I've seen some photos that look like they're from a 1991 NIN video before, which could be cool cool ,but not for a dog check up photo), and I love that she sent me personal messages about them. They text and use Venmo because it's 2016, and I will use them as many time as they'll let me. Thanks ladies! read more

Nicole and her crew (in particular, Susie and Joseph) have been been reliable and loving caretakers in the 18 months since we adopted our (sweet, but sometimes skittish/stubborn) dog. Even though we're working from home during the pandemic, we've remained clients to make sure our dog gets regular long midday walks in a safe, socially distant manner. (The vet said that pets put on pandemic pounds too...) Support this great local business that will be there for you and your pet now and in the future! read more

We have been using The Pet Groupies for over a year now, and this service is the absolute best. The service is so convenient. It's so easy to schedule/reschedule walks using the online scheduler. The walkers are incredibly reliable - I never have to worry if a walker is going to show up. The walkers scan a code on a magnet (we have ours on are fridge) so you get an email when the walkers arrive and leave. The email you get at the end of the visit includes a photo and lets you know if your dog went "Number 1," "Number 2," or both. Want to see where your dog walked? You can check that online too as it is linked to the walker's phone. Your invoice gets emailed to you every week, and you can pay it using Venmo. It could not get any easier than this. The best part? You can tell by the little note and the photo that the walkers send at the end of their visit that each of them genuinely cares for your dog. Nicole hires wonderful people. To know that my dog is getting a walk, a treat, and a little love everyday while I'm at work is really priceless to me. But in this case, I get that peace of mind at a very reasonable price. I am so thankful to have found The Pet Groupies. read more

I moved to Pasadena three years ago with my sweet Golden Retriever and was referred to The Pet Groupies by a trusted friend. I am so grateful! I've called upon Nicole and her team consistently. I trust them completely to stay with my pup when I have to go out of town. Thank you, Pet Groupies! read more

Petgroupies is THE BEST. I trust Nicole and her team completely with my two boys. The communication is top-notch. I feel so comfortable letting anyone on her team into my home to walk and care for my pups. Her sign in system works wonderfully. I get a notification when they enter my home and when they leave and there are always excellent pictures of the pups and a fun write up of how the visit went. Can't say enough great things about Nicole and team! read more

I 1000% trust Nicole and her team with our dogs' lives, safety and well-being. What else need be said? There's a handy app to get updates, and all of the dogwalkers are extremely responsive over text and remember all the details about our dogs, including what to avoid on walks, taking their clothes on/off and making sure the house is set before they leave. Super recommend. read more

We feel so lucky to have found The Pet Groupies! Nicole and Amy are INCREDIBLE! I am a bit obsessive when it comes to my fur babies, as one of my kitties is diabetic. Nicole and Amy always put my mind at ease and have handled kitty's needs with great care. They are excellent communicators and warm, lovely people. Going out of town always caused me such anxiety, but now I can enjoy time away from home knowing our girls are in loving, capable hands. Highest recommendations! Thanks Pet Groupies :) read more
