ABOUT US
Your Pet's Home
Away From Home
For over a decade, Potato Pups has been the trusted name in dog walking and pet sitting for busy pet parents who refuse to compromise on care. What started as one neighbor walking a few dogs has grown into a fully-insured team of passionate animal lovers.
Every walk, every visit, every overnight stay is guided by one simple mission: treat every pet like our own. That’s not a slogan — it’s how we hire, train, and show up every single day.
OUR STORY
From One Dog Walker to a Trusted Team
Potato Pups started in 2014 with one dog walker, a leash, and a promise to treat every client’s pet like family. Word spread quickly through Manhattan Beach and the South Bay, and what began as a one-person operation grew into a close-knit team of background-checked, certified pet care professionals.
Today, we still operate the same way we did on day one: small enough to know your pet by name, and disciplined enough to never miss a visit. Every team member goes through the same rigorous vetting and training before they ever hold a leash.
We’re proud to be locally owned and operated — not a franchise, not an app with a rotating cast of strangers. Just a team that genuinely loves what we do.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our Core Values
Every decision we make comes back to these principles. They’re not just words — they’re how we show up for your pet every single day.
Safety Above All
Every caregiver is background-checked, insured, and Pet CPR certified. We follow strict protocols for every visit because your pet’s safety is never negotiable.
Genuine Care
We don’t just walk dogs or fill bowls. We build real relationships with your pets — learning their quirks, their favorites, and what makes them feel loved.
Radical Transparency
You’ll get a photo and update after every single visit — no surprises, no guessing. If something’s off, you’ll hear it from us first.
Reliability
On time, every time. We know your schedule depends on us, so we treat every visit window like a promise we intend to keep.
Community Roots
We’re your neighbors. Every dollar spent with us supports a local team that walks the same streets and beaches your pet loves.
Continuous Growth
Ongoing training keeps our team sharp on pet first aid, behavior, and safety — because good enough isn’t good enough for your pet.
