We recently moved to LA from up north and were looking for a new dog walking team. Lori and her team were not only the most responsive, but Lori gave me a bunch of training tips to help with some door aggression (I think we need to be trained more than our dogs! ) She even saved us from needing to cancel a much-needed vacation when the person we had lined up backed out the morning we were supposed to leave. Our dogs are in great hands and I'm so happy we found this team. You can see how much they love and support not just the dogs in their care but their people, too! More...

The folks at Animal Magnetism are amazing! They take such good care of our pup Teddy, who enjoys his hour-long pack walk every day. They often send us photos of his adventures and always keep us updated regarding how he did on his walk. They're reliable and professional. I highly recommend them - you cannot beat the service you receive and the value is unparalleled. More...

Animal Magnetism is the best! They are professional, reliable and a great value, especially when you have multiple pets, some with medical needs and some that need a little "extra". They send me pictures which goes a long way to making me feel good about the attention my cats are getting when I'm away from home. Do not hesitate to give them a call when you need a good sitter for your fur babies. More...

Lori and animal magnetism is amazing! Right before going out of town, My terrier had unexpected stomach surgery and required rest, medication, strict diet with no play time and light walks. Lori came over, put me atEase and my dog happily left with her! Lori kept in touch and sent me pics while I was gone. My dog was in great shape when he came home five days later. Lori SAVED the day and I will 100% use animal magnetism for anytime my doggy needs boarding. Thank you animal magnetism!(To give context, my terrier is extremely shy of new people and usually hides, but Lori has such a kind nature to her, he left with her no problem, you guys are amazing) More...

The Animal Magnetism Team has been watching over our two energetic, gregarious pups for over two years now. Whether it's weekday walks, beach day excursions or overnight boarding I know our boys are in good hands and it allows us to travel and work without worry. We are beyond grateful and recommend their services to anyone who is looking for a trusted (and insured) pet professional service. More...

I just started using Animal Magnetism and feel so lucky to have found Lori, Heather, and their team! My dog is pretty nervous so I was worried about how he'd do on a pack walk, but they've taken the time to make him comfortable and he definitely seems like a happy/tired boy when I get home from work. Pick up and drop off is easy (I just bought a lock box)! More...

I can't say enough about Lori and her team. They understand that our pets are our babies and treat them like they're their own! It's so obvious that they're in this business because they love it, and they're experienced and knowledgeable to boot. My husband and I have had to travel A LOT this year which means leaving our two kitties at home a lot more than we'd like to. Thank god for Lori! I tend towards worry (see aforementioned reference to my pets being my babies ), and Lori is always super communicative, answers all my questions (even when she's not watching the cats), sends photos, gives recommendations, and takes wonderful care of our kitties. Knowing they are in good hands really helps make all the travel that much easier! More...

Highly recommend Lori and Heather and the whole crew at Animal Magnetism! They have been taking our 1.5-year-old yellow lab Joe for walks and he comes home happy and tired- what more could you ask? They're so good with him, even though he's a big, crazy, jumping, mouthy puppy, we know we can trust them to take great care of him. He always looks out the front window, waiting for them to get him! So glad we found Animal Magnetism! More...

Lori & team have been great with my toy Aussie who thinks he is the boss. I know that when they come to walk him that he is in good hands. I have been using them for years now and I absolutely trust their service! My little guy is always better behaved when he has his walks and I don't feel so guilty leaving him home while I am at work. I also love the fact that they take the time to wish Happy Birthday to each pet client, nice personal touch! More...

Animal Magnetism is the very best pet professional service I have had the pleasure of hiring and working with. I totally trust Lori and Heather and their professional staff to take care of my precious dogs Wally and Kodi. I have trusted their service for over a decade. They are skilled at taking care of elderly or sick animals both dogs and cats. They have administered medications, helped with animals recovering from surgery as well as providing fun exercise for our dogs. We love them but more importantly, our dogs love them too! They are the very best! 100% endorse! I will consider them dear friends forever. More...

I don't know what we would do without Lori/Animal Magnetism! The website and booking/payment process is super easy and convenient to use, and the value is excellent - the pack walks give my dogs an hour or more of exercise, engagement, and social time with other dogs. Moreover, the intangibles about Lori and her services are what we love.  My dogs are usually pretty reactive and one is very anxious and bigger so  people usually perceive him negatively. We were having trouble finding a good fit with dog care providers, because some people say they "love dogs" but they really mean "dogs that aren't reactive" or "dogs that never deviate from their training" or "dogs that are so docile you never have to worry about them doing anything". But Lori clearly loves ALL dogs and knows how to - and cares enough to - put in the time to get to know them and gain their trust. At our meet and greet, she put our dogs' comfort first, adjusting to their behavior and comfort level (versus people who just reach their hand out and expect dogs to instantly warm up to a stranger, and then act appalled when they become defensive or anxious). It wasn't long before our dogs came to love and trust her and Heather, and we never have any hesitation about using their services.  On several occasions, we've had to ask her to make last minute adjustments or bookings due to emergencies, and she's so responsive and helpful every time.  Most recently, we texted Lori from the hospital and she was able to take the dogs last minute for a few days. That extraordinary level of care, compassion, and service cannot be faked or bought and is truly, truly rare.  We are so happy to be part of the Animal Magnetism family! More...

100,000% recommend. My partner and I contacted Animal Magnetism on pretty short notice (less than a week) about caring for our cats for 13 consecutive days while we were out of town. Lori quickly got in touch with me, came to my place the next day, surveyed my apartment, listened to all my pet parent worries, instructions about food and supply locations in the apartment, and specific instructions about where to throw out trash litter, how to get in and out of apartment, etc, and a bunch of other info like what time we thought they should come by each day.I didn't need to contact any other services because it was just clear she and Animal Magnetism know what they're doing. After you chat with them, they use a detailed online form to create profiles for your pets/home and are responsive via text, email or phone.For 13 days, Lori or one of her colleagues checked in on our two cats once a day for about 20 or 30 mins. That included feeding wet food, refilling a giant hard food bowl, checking water levels, cleaning/disposing of litter, and texting/emailing us daily photos assuring us that both cats were alive and well. Our smoke alarm even started acting funky at one point, which Animal Magnetism notified us about and we dealt with. And to my pleasant surprise, they even leave little report cards for you to go over when you return from your trip.Reasonably priced (way cheaper than boarding at a kennel, vet, or pet hotel) and they offer other types of way more involved care than the basic services we arranged.The whole process was seamless, Animal Magnetism made us feel at ease, no complaints from us at all, will 100% use them again whenever we next leave town. Can't thank them enough for carrying out their services for our cats and visiting our apartment on 2 holidays -- Christmas and New Years.P.S. The more organized and clear you are with your instructions for Lori and her team about caring for your pets/getting around your home, the better your whole experience will be. More...

Animal Magnetism is awesome! They have been our walkers/dob boarders for the last two years. If you are looking for a company that is as professional as a big corporation or app, but as friendly and attentive and accommodating as a family friend, they are the ones to go with. They definitely care about the dogs and have sound judgement and a small roster of walkers, all of which we know by name at this point. Our dog is 13 has multiple special needs (recent stroke, bad joints, fussy stomach and multiple meds. Animal Magnetism handles these issues very well.

After just a few weeks I noticed a huge difference in my puppy. He was no longer jumping on everyone that walked through door or bitting ( more like nipping )... still a cause for concern as I have an elderly mom and young nieces and nephews. After 6 mos of using their service my puppy is awesome. He is super sweet and calm.

Q&As

I love the little faces that greet me upon arrival. These pups are a part of my extended family of furry kids. The dogs are very sensitive and know that we are their best friend there to pick them up for an fun-filled excursion. When I say sensitive I mean they prefer I not carry on a 5 minute conversation with their parents. (they start to get jealous as I am their BFF) It is such a mutual admiration and love.

After moving out to California from North Carolina in 1995, I pursued my degree in Business from Cal State University. Telecommuting for work and sitting in front of a computer daily was stressful and tiring, but every day I looked forward to being home and taking my dog to the park next door at lunch.

My neighbors recognized that I would be out with my dog everyday and they approached me to take theirs with me. Soon, I was taking a pack of pups with me to the dog park, and had the realization that I could do this all the time! After discussing the idea over with my friend and business partner Heather, we decided to join forces and combine our love for animals to create Animal Magnetism.

It is simple... We Are the Best! You never have to worry about who is taking care of your baby. Just read our reviews as they speak for themselves. We started Animal Magnetism in 1999 and clients multiplied by word of mouth. As a lifelong pet owners, we know exactly what other pet lovers are looking for with their cherished pets: someone to love, exercise, and care for their companion (child). Whether it’s a daily walk, pet sitting, beach excursion or an overnight visit, we have become an important part of our clients pets lives and thus and integral part of their family.

Our company is fully licensed, bonded and insured and we are a participating member of Pet Sitters International. We perform reference, DMV, and background checks on all of our employees through a leading national service – we screen for the best, so that you don’t have to. We only welcome to our team those who mirror our values and vision to provide love and care for your pet.

We are very proud of our staff. They are all people that we trust to watch our own pets. We wouldn’t have it any other way! Our team is very aware that you view your pet as your child. Everyone on Team Animal Magnetism shares a true affinity for all animals.

After almost 20 years in business, we continue to hear how our clients’ pets are so happy when they arrive home. That is the goal of Team Animal Magnetism and that is what puts a smile on our faces.

Services

Pack Dog Walking: One of our professional and experienced dog walkers comes to your home and gives your dog a 60 minute pack walk. We ensure that your dog gets plenty of love, healthy exercise, socialization and of course, has fresh water. My favorite way of explaining pack walks is that we are the school teachers who drive a school bus to pick up our students. The pups have their favorite spots to sit in the bus and their favorite friends to sit with and walk beside on the walks. We are exploring and learning while on our walks. This service is fantastic for socialization with the outside environment and with other pups.

Available 7 days a week
