How FitPals dog walking works
We walk dogs in small, trainer-led groups instead of one at a time. That is on purpose. A group walk led by a trainer gives your dog exercise, social practice and training in the same hour, which a solo stroll around the block can’t match.
Your dog joins the same group on the same days every week. We pick them up, walk for a full 60 minutes, and bring them home with a GPS route, photos and a check-in waiting on your phone.

I'm impressed – FitPals is the best dog walking service I've had the pleasure of using, Hands down.
They're passionate, creative and have your pup's well-being in mind. I met with Alexandra and Janriel (The owners – they're so down to earth and let their work speak for itself) for my meet & greet to make sure my dog is a good fit and was immediately put at ease with their experience and knowledge.
I came close to letting my 4-year-old rescue go, but through FitPals' help (advice, tips, and patience) and walks (3x a week!) I noticed my dog go from anxiety-ridden, aloof and distant to well-adjusted, gentle and loving.
Totally blown away by the overall services they provide. I specifically use them to socialize my pup through their pack walks/dog walking service which can include a tracked map of your dog's walk, photos and, video updates!
Thanks, FitPals – I'm grateful for what you do!!

The best dog walking services! I would not trust anyone with my puppies. Fitpals are advance professionals when it's comes to dogs behavior, socializing and training. I feel safe knowing my puppies are with responsible and insured dogs handlers on a crazy streets of DTLA. Fitpals helping so much with my foster german shepperd, she was rescued from back yard, was horrified of all the noises and was impossible to walk. Fitpals created plan of action for her and in a such a short period of time she became adjusted to the city, loud noises and many other distractions on the street.
Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with my pack. Highly recommend to all of my dtla neighbors.
“He's learned how to confidently walk alongside other dogs!”

Alexandra & Janriel have been walking our dog twice a week, and the difference they've made has been incredible. Our dog Ham wasn't well socialised when we first got to LA and through their patience, knowledge, and guidance, he's learned how to confidently walk alongside other dogs!
Their understanding of dog behaviour is incredibly impressive and it's clear they care deeply about the dogs they work with. They communicate very well with us and are very reliable. I trust them with my dog completely! We're so grateful to have found them and couldn't recommend them more highly!!
