About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!
About: Lots of experience walking/sitting dogs and taking care of cats. Love pets of all sizes, and have experience taking care of multiple at a time. Living in Pasadena and servicing Greater LA County area. Mostly open schedule. Usually available on weekends and holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. Can do day visits or overnights. I can't take care of pets in my own home, but I have experience taking care of them in different housing arrangements (house/apartment/etc) and security, and will thoroughly closely follow whatever guidelines the owner sets.
“Courtney was a fantastic and caring dog sitter for our dog. She has a lot of great experience with dogs, including larger dogs which our dog is. She was very sweet with him and although we were away, my mother said that Fiddle came to be excited for her to come. Couldn’t recommend her more highly! I hope to rebook with her again soon.”
“We have booked Mark multiple times to walk our dog and he continues to be a wonderful dog walker! I appreciated the extra time and care he took with my dog. Thanks Mark!”
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare services for the last 8 years. I cared for over 10 dogs or more in a previous daycare home. My duties were to care for all the pups, feed scheduled meals, give prescribed medications, maintain the yard, change dog diapers, and greet clients who were picking up of dropping off their dogs. As of now I dog sit for friends, family members, and for other clients who I have been referred to. I enjoy working with dogs and caring for them. I do have two of my own fur babies who are Lola and Pepper. Hello, I am on summer break from school and decided to start taking care of dogs or dog walking in my downtime which is primarily on the weekends. As of right now I do work M-F in healthcare. If I’m hired to dog sit for a few days I normally check in with owners to see what their dog or dogs routines are.It’s important for me to gather this information to better care for the dogs and to make sure that my client is satisfied with my work ethic. Another thing that I like to do before a dog sitting service is scheduled I prefer to do meet and greets to make sure that the clients and pets are comfortable with me. Every pet and owner is different and I just want to make sure that I’m able to meet their care requirements.
“yesenia is an incredible walker and friend to my pup brandi! she goes well above and beyond and truly cares about my dog. i trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone needing any kind of service for their animals!”
“Diana is amazing! We needed a last minute dog walker and Diana was there. My dog absolutely loves her and she went above and beyond to make sure he was walked and that his water was full, and she stuck to our routine. She is so friendly and good with our dog that we hope to keep her in our rotation. She's the best!”

“Kia was AWESOME, our Vizsla loves him! Our crazy pup got 8k steps in and is now ready for a nap. Kia sent us photos and updates of Jeffrey’s progress the entire time, we will be booking with him again”
About: ✨ MY BACKSTORY ✨ Growing up in England, our beloved Border Collie, Orsa, was the heart of our home 🐾 and the reason dogs have always been such a big part of my life. Over the years, friends and family would often leave their dogs in our care while travelling, and I quickly realised how much I loved creating a calm, loving “home away from home” for pups while their humans were away. ☀️ MY LIFE NOW ☀️ Now living in sunny California with my husband and our dog-loving toddler, I’ve continued that same style of care here in Pasadena. We are a calm, one-pup-at-a-time household, which means your dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and a peaceful environment — never a chaotic pack setting. We live in a clean, single-story home with a large, fully enclosed yard, perfect for relaxed playtime, sniffing, sunbathing, and cozy naps indoors. Our home is best suited to dogs who enjoy a serene family environment and want to feel truly settled while their owners are away 🏡💛 Our curious little one absolutely adores dogs and is gentle and respectful of their boundaries. For everyone’s comfort and safety, all visiting dogs must be friendly with children. We can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little family and help them feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am at home full-time so your pet will always be my priority. For home-visits and walks, organising times convenient for you and your pet can be easily arranged. My husband, Ahmet (another animal lover!) works from home regularly also. We don't have any other pets and we don't accept multiple bookings at once so your fur-baby will always be our focus. Our home is a bright and spacious bungalow on a tree-lined street with our own fenced yard for your pup to play in. We are incredibly active people who spend a lot of time outdoors and we are committed to offering your pet a holiday of it's own whilst staying with us!
About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!
About: Like many pet lovers know, animals have a good radar for caring people. Often animals approach me, because they know I pay attention and feel safe. I also work very well with senior pets and those needing medical care. I am an educator, researcher and program evaluator, who works from home a couple times a week. I teach educators, high school, and college students. I conduct research on well-being and school success. Furthermore I evaluate health and educational programs. I am a published author and lead a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting student mental health and success. I believe that pets will indicate their wants preferences and needs. Furthermore, I also believe that pet owners, for the most part, are most informed on the best way to keep their animals happy and healthy. Therefore I always follow the lead of pet owners and make sure to establish a secure relationship with the animals I have the honor of working with.
“Tomas took care of our two dogs and two cats for a week while we were out of town. He did an amazing job and our dogs absolutely loved him! We will definitely hire him again.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my patience and the way I care for dogs and cats as if they were my own family. Even if a pet is stubborn, moody, or doesn’t want to cooperate, I never rush or force them. I take the time to gently guide, understand, and build trust with them. I have hands-on experience potty training, teaching basic skills, and being part of a pets daily growth and routine. I love spending time playing with them every day and watching them learn and gain confidence over time. I’m also comfortable with daily care tasks such as brushing, administering medication, brushing teeth, and giving baths. My goal is always to provide consistent, loving, and patient care so every pet feels safe, understood, and truly at home. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. They are my families. I work from home, so I have lots of time and flexibility to be with cats throughout the day. I can easily do drop-in visits, spend extended time with them, or stay overnight whenever needed 🐾 I genuinely love being around cats and truly enjoy every moment with them — whether we’re playing, cuddling, or just quietly keeping each other company. Spending time with cats brings me so much happiness and comfort, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of my life 💕 I care for pets with lots of love, patience, and attention — just like I do with my own three very cute cats at home 😸 Every day, I spend at least an hour actively playing with them. Sometimes we play chase with toys, and other times we play fetching games, which they absolutely love. I also take grooming and daily care seriously. I clean their ears about three times a week, trim their nails every two weeks, and brush their teeth regularly. I’m comfortable providing all the basic care cats may need, including gentle handling, playtime, grooming, and lots of cuddles and affection. Your cat will be treated like my own and will be in loving, attentive hands. I truly believe that with my care, your kitty will feel healthy, safe, and very happy 💗🐾
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have personally lived with 5 cats during my life time and have taken care of dogs outside of my house for friends and family. Of those 5 cats, 3 I have taken care of until they passed away, so I know how to take care of both young and older animals. I am currently a behavior therapist for children with autism. I am a very patient and calm person that extends to both my personal and professional life. It is very important to me to get to have a good relationship with the pet that I am taking care of. I currently work part time as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. I am completely free on the weekends and have time early afternoon and late at night on weekdays to do drop ins or stay the night. I am more than willing to follow any care that is required for the pet in question. I will take the time the play with them, take them on walks, give them food, and medicine if that is something they need. I will make sure they treat your home respectfully as I know from experience that cats and dogs alike enjoy doing things with furniture that they are not supposed to. I will always make sure that your pet is happy and comfortable when around me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Altadena
So glad we went with Khawinda after our last regular walker moved away. She was right on time and asked the right questions to help me feel at ease. My pup is super high energy and not the best on leash but I could tell right away she had experience with these special types. I can see on my doggy cam that he so excited when Khawinda's at the door. Reliable, communicative, and someone who genuinely enjoys animals instead of treating it like a quick gig. She even checked on our chickens for us. :) Thank you Khawinda!!
I’ve had a great experience with Samantha over the past two weeks and am still happily using her for my dog’s walks. She is incredibly accommodating with my schedule, quick to respond to messages, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate how reliable she is and that she takes the time to wipe my dog’s paws after each walk. I plan to continue booking with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!
