Exemplary dog care · Highland Park, Los Angeles

Already Obsessed.

...and I haven't even met your dog yet.

Nobody will ever love your dog exactly like you do.

That's okay.

I come surprisingly close.

Already Obsessed.

Because your dog deserves someone who's already obsessed.

The person behind the care

Meet Pamela

Hi, I'm Pamela.

I'm a lifelong dog person, a television producer, and now the founder of Already Obsessed.

Throughout my career I've built my reputation on organization, communication, solving problems under pressure, and managing countless moving pieces without letting details slip.

Those same skills are exactly why I created this business.

I know what it feels like to trust someone with your entire world.

Because for me...

That world has always been my dogs.

The real reason

I'm that dog lady.

I once spent a month in Europe and came home with a camera roll full of other people's dogs.

I notice the shy one at the party. I learn every neighborhood dog's name before their owner's.

I've volunteered for two months in Thailand with rescue dogs, and over the years I've welcomed foster dogs into my own home—many with medical and behavioral needs that required patience, structure, and steady care.

I'm also genuinely skilled with the hard cases — extensive hands-on experience with senior dogs, post-operative recovery and complex medical needs.

Both things are true at once: any dog is safe with me, and the complicated ones are where I'm strongest.

So when you leave your dog with me, you're not hiring another dog walker. You're leaving them with someone who will truly enjoy every single moment with them — whether they're a highly trained dog, a nervous one, or a dog with a complicated medical chart.

Professional.

Empathetic.

Endlessly responsive.

Completely obsessed.

"Both things are true at once: any dog is safe with me, and the complicated ones are where I'm strongest."

My story

Because you shouldn't have to settle.

When my soul dog Bowie developed congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and other complex medical issues, caring for her became a full-time labor of love.

She took six medications four times a day.

Every medication mattered.

Every symptom mattered.

Every tiny change mattered.

I remember wishing there was someone I trusted enough to help.

Someone who wouldn't simply "watch my dog."

Someone who would notice the little things.

Someone who would communicate constantly.

Someone who understood how overwhelming specialty care can be.

Years earlier, my pug became paralyzed. I learned how to express her bladder several times a day, clean and change bedding, monitor her comfort, and adapt every part of our routine around her needs.

Those experiences completely changed the way I think about dog care.

Already Obsessed exists because I wanted to become the person I desperately wished I'd had during those moments.

Today I provide the kind of care I once searched for:

  • Empathetic.
  • Highly communicative.
  • Calm in a crisis.
  • Exceptionally organized.
  • Deeply attentive.
  • And genuinely obsessed with every dog I care for.
