Jeff is amazing with our two dogs. He picks them up, drops them off, takes excellent care of them and enables me to travel without worry. He is kind and patient and really loves our furry friends. I am so thankful for him! read more

There is not a single thing we have found our dog to get more excited about than when Loc's squad arrives at our place. She's always insanely pumped to go and is totally wiped when she gets back. And this is all not mentioning the awesome photos we get back every day... couldn't recommend their service more! read more

Loc is one of the friendliest and most thoughtful dog walkers I've met. He is warm, loving and in control of niko when he takes him on hikes. Rolanda, another dog walker is super sweet and also very good with our energetic vizsla. Loc and Rolanda were able to come and pick niko up from our apartment in Mar Vista, which was very confident. Niko always came back happy and tired and Loc took really great pictures during the day and sends them to us. Also. importantly both are punctual and flexible with a range of dates and times for walks and hikes. read more

Loc is friendly, helpful and very communicative. He takes my pup on hikes and walks and she LOVES him. I was nervous about finding the right dog walker as I've had poor experiences in the past and Loc has not only met my expectations but far exceeded them! He's truly the best, your dog couldn't be in better hands. Thank you, Loc! read more

Loc "The Zen Dog Walker" has walked, fed, and refereed playdates (his dog and ours) for the past 5 years. He is wonderful with our dog, who is a 95 lb chocolate lab (and was also great with our dog who passed away in 2007). We can really count on Loc when we are unable to get home in time to walk or feed our boy. We TOTALLY trust him with our baby :) I highly recommend Loc to be your dog walker because he is reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and always has a smile on his face! Rates are reasonable too! SM-Culver City read more

Denise is an incredibly generous and gracious person. She took care of us through the holidays at the last minute which was a lifesaver. While we were gone, she took incredible care of our cat and we came home knowing that she had been given affection as well as care. She was always texting us videos and pictures letting us know when she had been there and our cat took to her very well, which she doesn't to everyone. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone we know. It is such a relief to not have to rely on or impose on friends or family to take care of our cat whenever we are out of town. We will for sure be asking her back next time! read more

Loc is amazing and I highly recommend him! We knew we were in good hands when it turned out Loc was friends with people in our neighborhood in Culver City. He and his team are responsible and caring, communicative, and reliable. And on top of taking great care of our dog, he sends some pretty hilarious and artistic photos pretty much every day! Thank you Loc and team! read more

Loc is amazing! I had never used a dog walker before meeting with Loc, and he immediately put me and Cooper at ease with the valuable service he provides. My dog Cooper loves Loc, and let me tell you, having someone come in every day to walk your dog was a leap of faith for me, but Loc has been fantastic! He is completely reliable and a total "dog" guy. He also sends a text every day with an update on how the walk went, etc. I have used Loc for about a year, and he is flexible--when my work schedule changes at the last minute, Loc always responds immediately and helps me make it work. I feel so fortunate to have found Loc, and I am appreciative that there are people like Loc in the world who help us care for our dogs. Loc--Zen the Dog Walker--has earned my highest recommendation. read more

Loc is AWESOME! He sends me a text after he walks my dog to let me know what went on. LOVE that! Totally trustworthy, loves what he does and an all-around good person. What more could you ask for? read more

Loc is great! He has been walking our bulldog Buboy for almost a year and he keeps our little guy happy and entertained while my husband and I work during the day. He keeps us posted on his walks with Buboy and he'll even give us a heads up if he notices anything different come up with our little guy while they go on their walks - which as a parent of an English bulldog, its great to know. We found him on Yelp and we are so thankful for the Yelp community as they led us to a great dog walker. Thanks Loc! read more

Both Jeff and Loc have been super fantastic with our two dogs. They are reliable, flexible and trustworthy and so good with both of our dogs who have different temperaments. Love getting pics from them of our dogs on the walks and during play time. It is so thoughtful for them to do that. Our dogs always look so happy in the pictures!! I highly recommend The Zen Dog Walker and I'm so glad I found them! Yay! read more

Loc is amazing! My dogs adore him. He brightened up their day whenever he came to take them on a walk. He was always good about giving them fresh water, playing with them and giving me an update when he was done. He took my dogs on a few occasions on his group walks and sent pictures of them enjoying themselves. He's super flexible and many times saved the day when we got caught up somewhere. I don't know what we would've done without him! Highly recommend him if your looking for a great dog walker. read more

I called Loc to see if they were accepting new clients. I left a message and he called me back the same day. He was unable to accommodate my needs at this time, but he was very friendly and professional. He offered referrals if I was unable to find someone I was happy with. I really appreciate that he took his time to call me back and follow up on my request. I wish it would have worked out, but such is life. read more

Jeff has been walking my 3 yr old pittie mix Frankie for about 2 months now and I couldn't be happier. He texts me daily to let me know how each walk went and lets me know if anything special happened - good or bad (Frankie has been known to eat paper or chew through blankets just when I least expect it!). He is super flexible schedule-wise - if I decide I'm working from home and don't need him for a day, I can just shoot him a text the night before or early that morning. I can tell he truly cares about my dog's well being, which as any dog owner would tell you is is far and away the most important quality you could find. I can also tell that Frankie loves Jeff! He watched my pup overnight when I had to travel for work and by the pictures, it seemed like he had the best day ever. Would highly recommend Loc and Jeff to anyone in the area. read more

Loc is also the "Zen Cat Sitter". We have a temperamental cat, so it was hard to find someone to take care of her when we are away - not many repeat takers! But Loc has won her over and we no longer worry about going out of town. Loc watches our house, our crazy cat and even our pet rat. He also arranged for a plumber for us when he saw a sprinkler line had broken and our patio was flooding. No job to big or too small - thanks LOC! read more

Reliable friendly service! Loc and his team gave midday walks to our dog Parker for over two years which he loved. They were even able to help out after we moved neighborhoods from Culver City to Westchester. We moved out of state, which was a little far for the zen dogwalkers to service, but they will be missed. Check them out! read more

Loc has been walking my rambunctious chocolate lab for almost 2 years now. We use him Mon-Fri when we're at work and have never been let down. He is truly a dog lover and very responsible. My husband and I dont have kids so our dog is the equivalent. Finding a good babysitter is hard but finding a good dog walker is even harder since your dog can't speak to you and report how they are being treated. My dog isnt neutered and can sporatically become aggressive towards other dogs and people; in other words, he's a handful. We've had other walkers but Loc is the best fit because of his dedication and "pack-leader" skills. When we were out of town my dog decided he didnt like the dog sitter we hired and refused to let her walk or feed him. Loc came to the rescue on a Saturday night even though that's his time with his family. We were so grateful - it's comforting to know that we can depend on him in a bind and that he treats our lil monster as well as we do! You will not be dissapointed! read more

Loc is an amazing guy. He is great with dogs and people. We left our Bonny in his capable, caring hands while we took a two week vacation. We can tell she loves him because she cries and lays by the door for quite a while after he leaves. If you want a great dog walker/per sitter that you can trust to take great care of your dog, Loc is your man. He obviously loves dogs and dogs love him and he is a great leader of his pack. As other people have mentioned, he sends a text after each visit which is a really nice touch. I highly, highly recommend Loc. read more

Loc and Matt are TERRIFIC. They love my dog as much as I do. They're totally reliable and trustworthy. They asked all the right questions in our first initial meeting, so I could tell my dog's safety was a primary objective. These guys are the best. I wholeheartedly trust them. I love them. My dog loves them. And, I get the best texts/photos sent to me after every walk. Makes my day every time! read more

Loc is absolutely the BEST! I'm a single girl who needed back-up for my hairy child while I was at work. I recently moved to San Diego and both my dog and I miss Loc everyday. Loc is more than just a dog walker, he truly cares about the dogs he is entrusted with. He understands the concerned pet parent and is responsive and flexible and reliable and trustworthy. The daily texts to report on the walks and activities are such a blessing and a cause for a sigh of relief for both your pet AND for you! I cannot say enough about Loc and all the worries and guilt he helped eliminate for me by providing wonderful love and compassion for me and my puppy. He's worth EVERY penny and you'll be bringing an incredibly thoughtful person into your life. Don't look any further...CALL THE ZEN DOG WALKER TODAY!!! read more

I have had Luc walk my dogs for over a year now. He is wonderful, awesome and the best. He is more than a dog walker, he trustworthy and flexible. He loves my dogs as much as I do. read more

The best without a doubt..my cavalier absolutely loves him.! and so do we. He is reliable, if he cant make it to a walk he makes sure one of his associates (who are also trsustworthy) take care of it. He is just great!!! read more

Loc was a Godsend the week and a half that I dogsat my parents 4 month old Goldendoodle, Maggie. Maggie was used to living in a house with a big backyard and for the week and a half that she was in Los Angeles, she had to get used to apartment living and long walks amongst lots of other dogs! Needless to say, she was not well trained on a leash but that didn't stop Loc from taking on the challenge! He was there every day and it made me feel so much more comfortable knowing that Maggie would see a friendly face every morning at 10:30. Loc would always text me either during or after the walk letting me know how it went and what they did. He is completely reliable and his prices are very reasonable. Maggie knows that next time she visits Los Angeles, Uncle Loc will be there for her! Thanks Loc! read more

Loc is fantastic! He walks my English Springer Spaniel while I'm at work. This is my first puppy so I am very particular about his handling, so when Loc showed up at the first meeting with pen and paper in hand to take lots of notes, I was very relieved. He is very responsible and attentive. You will see that he really cares about your pet and is willing to be flexible to their needs and yours as well. He always keeps in communication by sending texts everyday which I appreciate so I'm always aware of what's going on. He also gives great recommendations. When I needed some information on other dog services or advice on new training ideas, he was always there to respond to my ideas or give me insight . That really gives me the impression that he truly cares about his job, you as a dog owner, and for your dog's well being. read more

Loc is a wonderful, kind, incredibly reliable dog walker. He took my dog on weekly walks and hikes for more than three years. One of the hardest parts about leaving Los Angeles this past month was having to say goodbye to Loc. My dog loved him and her dog friends whom she met through Loc. The pictures and updates he sends about the daily walks are also wonderful and reassuring. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Loc has walked my dog , Charlotte, on several occasions when I have been out of town and has been great. Charlotte was abused before I adopted her and therefore she is timid and very fearful of people and loud noises and often does not like to go outside, but Loc has always been very patient with her and has made her feel comfortable with him. I have used larger dog walking services in the past and have found that Charlotte never becomes comfortable with the walkers because they often send different people on each occasion. I have found these services impersonal and too "corporate", but Loc takes a different approach. He has taken the time to get to know Charlotte and seems genuinely concerned about her well-being. My dog is like my child and I am very protective of her and the people that I trust to look after her, and I would highly recommend Loc to anyone looking for a dog walker. read more
