Three thousand dogs. Zero off-leash parks.
Hermosa has about 3,000 dogs and, for now, no off-leash park. Your yard is doing a lot of heavy lifting. We help it out once a week.
Small yards, big responsibilities.
Hermosa is about 15 blocks wide and 40 long, with walk streets near the sand and the Greenbelt running up the middle. Yards are small, patios are common, and plenty of them are turf.
Athens asks that dog waste go in the black cart. It goes in double-bagged, and the lid goes back down.
When Hermosa finally gets its dog park, we'll still be here for the yard.
- Walk streets and patiosMost Sand Section yards qualify as tiny: under about 1,500 square feet gets 20% off every visit.
- Turf that remembersArtificial turf holds odor in the backing. The monthly enzyme treatment fixes that.
- The black cartAthens lists dog waste as black-cart trash. That's where it goes, bagged.
- The Greenbelt crowdEven dogs who walk the Greenbelt every day leave evidence at home. Weekly pickup keeps it clear.

Hi neighbor,
We're a small, owner-run crew. When we text you, it's one of the owners on the other end, and for now we're also the ones in your yard each week.
We keep routes tight on purpose, a few streets at a time, so we can show up on the same day and in the same window every week. If we ever miss something, tell us and we'll make it right.

Co-owner

Things people usually ask
Will you walk my dog on the beach?
Dogs aren't allowed on the beach in Hermosa, and the fine is $250. We stay in the yard.
Is a dog park coming?
The city has been looking at Valley Park East for Hermosa's first dog park. Until then, the nearest off-leash run is Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach.
Is it worth it?
Weekly service for one dog is about $126 a month, or $29 a visit. That's about five grande lattes, or a little more than two Chipotle burritos. You get back your weekend chore, a yard you can walk barefoot, and a photo proving the gate is shut. Some services cost less per visit. We price for the same day every week, the photo every time, and the owners doing the work.
Do I need to be home?
No. We just need access to the yard. Leave the gate unlocked on your service day or put a gate code in your booking notes.
How does billing work?
Nothing is charged when you book. After your first visit we send a monthly invoice for the visits you've had, and you can pay by card online. One-time cleanups are invoiced after the job. No contract, so you can cancel anytime.
