    Roxie, second from right with some of her pals.
    Barbara F.

    We were introduced to FitPals right as Janriel was finishing up a walk with a neighbor's dog. We could tell right away that he is a professional AND expert. I quickly agreed to set up a FaceTime with him and Alexandra, and was extremely impressed with their business; they've been servicing the pups of DTLA for 10 years! Fast forward a month later, our shy puppy, Roxie, is thriving! Janriel & Alexandra's consistency, tips/tricks, and overall dog knowledge have made a huge difference for us and our girl. Originally she was terrified of going outside; going to the bathroom was out of the question and she shook like a leaf any time a bus or car drove bar. Roxie is now confident because of her pack walks with Janriel & Alexandra. She is getting proper socialization in a controlled environment, discipline, and affection. As the owners, we are receiving tips on how to help parent that have proven invaluable, especially as Roxie is only 6 months old. Pack walking is an amazing option for any dog, but especially for those folks who have nervous nellies, like we do. I am so happy I met Janriel that day and we began this journey. We absolutely recommend FitPals 10x over and are looking forward to remaining long-term clients. Thank you for taking care of our girl!

    They were phenomenal and took such great care of my kitties when I was on vacation. My house was clean and the kitties were happy. I liked their email check-in card after every visit with pics & videos!

    My two pups LOVE their walks with Janriel! They always leave and come home with their tails wagging and it's the cutest thing ever. My pups had a regular dog walker in SF and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find one they loved but I was pleasantly proven wrong because they love Janriel and Alexandra! After each walk, Janriel sends an update with photos and a summary of how they did along with their walk path. The walks keep them healthy and happy but most importantly exhausted so mommy can work uninterrupted for the rest of the afternoon .

    I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new pack for my dog, Remy, to walk with. I found FitPals and they have not disappointed! Remy loves his walks with FitPals! I also know he's safe with them and I get a recap and pictures from every walk! Highly recommend

    We love love love FitPals. Over the years their service has been filled with love and attention to our fur baby. Even when we're just walking down the street FitPals treats me and my husband and our fur baby like we're cherished by them. They are patient and kind. Our fur baby is always so excited to leave for her walk adventures with FitPals. She's a senior but they make it fun and interactive for her. I highly recommend FitPals. Janriel and Alexandra are our doggie angels. We don't know what we would do without them and their unsurpassed service. Thank you FitPals straight from our fur baby's heart

    Nothing but good things to say about them! They've taken care of my cat many many time when I was away and it's always been great. They are very communicative, they work around your schedule and, most importantly, they take excellent care of your pet.

    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.

    I've been using this service since moving to downtown. They make everything so easy and my dog loves them. They even will pick up my pup if I'm out and that is a huge help! They really are the best around.

I hired the valley pet sitters to come for an extra day and came home a day later thinking my cats had at least clean glasses of water and extended my trip. I also left a handwritten note by the glasses of Water saying please do two fresh glasses each time of fridge water. When I got home, there was only two glasses used and both were full of slimy bacteria filled water because they were not cleaned or changed out for over a week. I would not have stayed an extra day if I ever thought for a second the note wouldn't have been read or the notes online that say use two fresh glasses that are in a pile of fresh clean glasses right by the fridge. even if I did not leave the note, why would anyone ever think cats would drink slimy bacteria infested water they would choose toilet water over a dirty bowl of water. You should always change the dry food bowls before we're feeling and the dishes of water rinsing is not even good enough, but everyone that knows Cats knows this. You're a bad caretaker for cats. If you give them water in any dirty dish, that's disgusting and rude.
