"We chalked it up to allergies." That's what the pet parents told us after their dog's recent health scare. Their pup had been having trouble breathing. Like most loving dog owners, they noticed something was off, but breathing issues can seem minor, especially when you're busy and your dog still seems mostly fine. Then our team member, Taylor, noticed a lump on their pet's neck directly following her dog walk when she was petting her. She's a certified vet technician, so she

Your dog's walk just got an upgrade. We've all been there. You hire a walker, they show up, leash your pup, walk the same block route they always do, and boom. Done in 20 minutes. But here's what most dog walking services miss: every dog has different needs, energy levels, and preferences. A quick loop around the block might work for some dogs, but it's definitely not working for all of them. At Betches Walking Betches, we don't do cookie cutter walks. We customize every sing

Building BWB: From Corporate Career to LA's Premier Dog Walking Service The truth about starting Betches Walking Betches? It was terrifying. I had a stable career in tech. A predictable paycheck. A clear path forward. And I gave it all up to walk dogs in West Los Angeles. People didn't understand. Some thought it was a quarter-life crisis.

The text came in at 11 PM: "He's pacing again. I don't know what else to do." This was from a client whose golden retriever got two walks a day, had a yard, and was clearly loved. But something wasn't clicking. After caring for hundreds of dogs across West Los Angeles, I've learned that the issue is rarely about the quantity of care. It's about understanding what each specific dog actually needs. Most dog parents don't realize their pup is sending clear signals that their cur

Let's talk about something that catches most dog parents off guard. Your dog is considered geriatric much earlier than you think. For most dogs, "senior" starts around age 7. For larger breeds, it can be as early as 5 or 6. That energetic golden retriever who still acts like a puppy? Medically speaking, they've already entered their golden years. I see the surprise on clients' faces all the time when we talk about this. And I get it. Our dogs don't suddenly slow down overnigh

New year, same mission: putting your pets first. As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on what Betches Walking Betches was built for. Three years ago, I walked away from a six-figure tech career because I kept seeing the same thing: pet parents settling for unreliable care. Canceled walks. No-shows. Caregivers who treated it like a side gig instead of a responsibility. Your pets deserve better than that. At BWB, we've always believed that great pet care isn
