YOUR DOG IS F*CKIN' BORED
We can help.
What Up Dog is a family-run dog walking and pet sitting service based in Ocean Park. We believe dogs deserve more than another lap around the block, so we take them out, explore Los Angeles, and give them something worth wagging about.
WHAT WE DO
Neighborhood walks, dog adventures and pet sitting from the Westside to adventures across Los Angeles.
Adventures
Beachside runs, dog park socials, scenic hikes, pack outings and whatever else gets your dog outside, moving and having a damn good day.
Pet Sitting
Comfortable, attentive care when you're away.
Pickup & drop-off included with Adventures.
YOUR DOG HAS TOO MUCH FREE TIME
Book the whole week, join a few times a week, or drop in for a single Adventure when your dog needs to get the hell out of the house. We're here when you need us.

Meet Your Dog's New Adventure Crew
We're a family-run team of lifelong dog lovers and avid outdoorsmen based in Ocean Park. What Up Dog was founded by Ed Kingston, who grew up surrounded by animals on the family ranch in Utah. That upbringing stuck with him, and so did the belief that dogs are happiest when they're outside, moving, exploring, and experiencing something new.
Our pug Kofi is part of the crew and joins us on many of our walks and adventures. We treat every dog like one of our own and tailor each outing to their personality, energy level, and comfort. No two weeks look exactly the same—we're always finding new trails, changing up the routine, and looking for ways to make your dog's day a little more exciting.
WHY CHOOSE WHAT UP DOG?
MORE THAN A WALK
We focus on exercise, enrichment, and getting dogs out into the world. We want to be the best part of your dog's day.
LOCAL & FAMILY-RUN
We've spent nearly 10 years in West LA raising our own pups, exploring the area, and getting to know the trails like the back of our hand.
PERSONAL
We keep it small. We don't take on huge packs or try to operate like a corporation. We want clients who feel like an extension of our family, and your dog sees the same familiar people day after day.
