About: I’ve been caring for pets since I can remember, growing up surrounded by furry friends and learning their needs firsthand. Over the years, my relatives, neighbors, and friends have trusted me with their pets, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just extra love and attention while they’re away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like family. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a creative that works from home so I have plenty of time to take care of yours. I’m an early riser and is available as early as 7am and mostly available on throughout the week and weekends as well. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always ensure that pets are in a secure environment, whether indoors or outdoors, by checking fences, using leashes on walks, and keeping a close eye on them at all times. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs, to maintain consistency and comfort for the pet. In case of an emergency, I stay calm, assess the situation, and immediately contact the owner while seeking veterinary care if necessary. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and their owners feel at ease.

“My doggie and I love Rachel. It was live at first sight for my doggie. She is on time, professional and obviously loves dogs. I am only using her for 2 walks a day, snd I totally recommend her.”

“Samantha was incredibly pro and reliable. She was very communicative and thorough to make sure our Sawyer’s care was top notch. Would highly recommend her any time. (She also takes the cutest photos!)”


“Brian was really great with both our dogs. He was completely reliable, diligent, considerate and kind to our big guys. He even rescheduled a walk to later in the day to allow for rain and made sure they got their exercise. Nothing but good things to say! Thanks very much Brian, the whole family is grateful!”


About: In short, animals truly love me. I know most people would say that but they do, I think it’s my love for them just shining back. Maybe it’s my pheromones, or my aura, or maybe my voice allows animals to disarm around me. Ultimately I believe my palpable, wholehearted passion for animals in addition to my genuineness sets me apart from other sitters. And as I mentioned, I believe these things are felt by animals too. I used to be convinced I could speak to them after I saw Dr. Doolittle.” Haha, but jokes aside I do have an affinity with animals. I have rescued eleven cats and found homes for them all. I grew up with lizards, fish, alligators, cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, birds, and even ferrets. I grew up in Oregon so I have had my fair share of marine, wild, and farm animals too. I have a genuine passion and a duty to advocate for animals (as well as their/our environment). I have worked with neonatal kittens, disabled cats, injured dogs, and even an injured bird and helped heal them all! I can administer medicine, keep a calm composure, and create or follow a routine for almost any condition an animal lives in/with. I am an artist that works from home. My schedule is open and pet care is a part of my daily routine. I brush my cats daily, I tend to their nails weekly, and I give them a bath monthly. I don’t view animals as beings too different than us. First and foremost I make sure we are on the same page. I verify rules, expectations, and desires to make sure the pet is receiving the same sort of attention and thorough routine as they’d have at home. I have a beautiful, big, and completely fenced in back yard. I have a fenced in front yard too but due to the size of the fence our outside time would be in the back! Walks will be as many as necessary (night time included). Baths will be as requested/needed, and the same goes for nail trims or administration of medicine.

About: Let me love your pet as much as you do! 🥰 I’ve been doing home visits since 2020 to both dogs and cats. You can trust me to feed your fur babies, give them snuggles, change puppy pads/litter boxes, or take them on walks. I also have a car if you need pet pick up or drop off for any reason. Let me know how I can service you! I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, but I am happy to give your pet love from 5pm-9pm. I am open Sundays and Saturdays for any services you may need. I am located in DTLA but my building has a beautiful doggy play place that is more sanitary than the street and can let you pup run free (with your permission of course). I am happy to walk your pup in the street if that’s what you’d prefer. While in your home, I am happy to clean up any messes your pets have left from potty to notorious Cat spills. I am happy to take extra sanitary measures upon your request, please let me know what makes you feel comfortable.

About: I am always the first person that friends and family will think of when they need someone to take care of their pets, even referrals from friends have kept in touch with me. For the past 8 years, I have walked, fed, played and baby-sitted more than 15 breeds of dogs and cats in total. I love spending time with them. I currently have many time available during weekdays and weekends to play with your puppies, I will arrange and fit into my schedules anytime according to the reservations. I lived in a safe apartment at DTLA, spacious for puppies to play around and shades on windows for safety. We have dog parks in the apartment amenities and safe community to walk around.

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters for 8 years and have had dogs all my life!

With my extensive years of pet experience, you can trust that I will give your pet the utmost love and attention while they are in my care.

About: I've taken care of neighbors' pets since I was a kid, and was always asked back! Growing up, my family was graced with Hannah, a lurcher greyhound rescue. I've also cared for my sister's turtle Monkey while she was living with me, and love visiting the pets of my friends and relatives. (Shout-out to Monkey, Sophie, Abby, Hari, and Starbuck!) I have a very severe cat allergy and can't care for cats at the moment, but I am in the early stages of immunotherapy to mitigate that. I'm working part-time with a theater company, and my schedule with them is very flexible! I can easily build my schedule around the needs of you and your pets. A pet's safety and well-being are my primary concerns. I want to make sure they're eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise and stimulation, and are happy whenever I'm around. I keep a pet's individual behavioral patterns in mind while outside on walks, and do everything I can to make sure there are no incidents between pets and other people. I am attentive to any irregularities in appearance or behavior that may indicate an issue, and am quick to alert the owner or reach out to a vet.

“Megan is wonderful! Return customer here. She’s very attentive to details and communication is always great. Thank you Megan!”


About: Super flexible, reliable, and I have worked at a doggy day care in the arts district as a part time job for over two years. Pet care fits into my routine by grounding me with daily responsibility and joy. Feeding, walking, and grooming are part of how I stay structured, especially while job searching. Being between jobs, I find that caring for animals helps maintain a sense of purpose and consistency in my schedule. It’s therapeutic and rewarding. In our home we have doggy cameras and routinely take our dog out for walks. She is properly bathed and trained. We make sure to at least take her to the vet once a year.

About: Growing up with dogs all my life, I have gained extensive experience in caring for them with love and attention. I am highly observant of their behavior, ensuring I manage and respect each dog's unique needs. From training every new puppy in my home daily to providing a warm and nurturing environment, my heart for dogs is incredibly big. My passion and dedication ensure that your furry friend will be in safe, loving hands. I am currently in dental school and am required to be on campus Monday and Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and Thursdays 1-5pm. Aside from that, I am either home or getting a workout at the gym either on campus or at home. I go on daily walks which is perfect for walking my new furry friends. I have no animals of my own currently with me. There is a large fenced grass field near me where I can run and play with the dogs outside of daily walks. If the dog needs to be in a crate at any given time, I have the space to do so.

“Brenda is the best! I could not manage without her. My mom and daughter have both been sick and she has been able to jump in and help with the dog at the last minute.”


About: I’ve taken care of many breeds big and small, and worked at a few different doggy daycares and animal hospitals. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and provide companionship for their pets. While I do have another job, I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care and play with your pup. I am available for walks throughout the week which will be flexible around my work schedule. But not too worry, all availability will be updated weekly ☺️ I currently specialize and offer dog walking services in the Southeast area of LA at the moment. YET boarding and daycare will be in the future making. ☺️

I absolutely love animals and would love the opportunity to work with your company so I can work with them. Thank you! I work at Universal and could be gone up to 8 hours in a day but live super close to work and can come home on my lunch breaks to check in them. I have days off too and have successfully taken care of dogs on my schedule. I live in a studio apartment on the second floor.

6. Donovan A.
“Donovan is a lover of all living beings whether it be plants, animals, insects etc. They’ve taught me to be kind to all creatures of the world. I’ve seen Donovan first hand take care of a stray cat mother of two that needed help. The cat’s name is Jackie and ended up becoming pregnant during that time. Jackie gave birth and Donovan was there with her the whole time. Looked up all the details of how to safely care for the babies and the mother. He raised the 5 kittens from birth and gave them all homes. One of the babies became his very own and the amount of love he has for her is beyond words. Before this moment there was an older stray cat, who is now named Tangie, who was barely holding on. Tangie was skin and bones when he found her and brought her back to a healthy fierce cat who he loves deeply. No matter what he’ll make sure his animals are fed and taken care of, he regularly makes sure that they have no fleas and will do anything to keep them healthy and happy.”


7. Dominique S.

“Dominique is an extremely conscientious, passionate, and driven individual. She is punctual, and makes clear effort to work diligently for the welfare of both people and pets. Dominique is very kind, is a great problem solver, is encouraging, and is nurturing. When I was considering rescuing my cat I reached out to Dominique and she helped me weigh the pros and cons of undertaking the responsibility of proper animal care. Dominique was very knowledgable about pets and answered all of my questions. I owe the adoption of my wonderful furry companion to Dominique! Your pet will be in great hands under Dominque's care!”


8. Qianru X.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Hannah as an exceptional dog walker and pet caregiver. As a close friend and a fellow animal lover, I have witnessed firsthand her dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I have two dogs: a Labrador and a Bichon. When I traveled frequently, Hannah and her husband took care of my dogs with great care and responsibility. I entrusted her with the key to my home, and she consistently exceeded my expectations. She not only fed and walked my dogs but also kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. One particular instance stands out to me as a testament to Hannah’s attentiveness and understanding of animals. My Labrador has a habit of refusing to go in certain directions during walks. Without any prior instruction from me, Hannah noticed this behavior and adapted her approach. Instead of forcing him, she cleverly pretended to go in the direction he wanted, then gently guided him back to the intended path. This level of observation and patience demonstrates her ability to connect with and care for animals in a thoughtful and respectful way. Over the years, Hannah has proven herself to be a true animal lover. She has not only cared for my dogs but has also accommodated other friends’ pets in her own home. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and I’ve even seen her feel a little sad when it was time for the pets to return to their owners. Her empathy and dedication are truly remarkable. Hannah is reliable, experienced, and deeply passionate about animals. She follows instructions carefully and goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the pets under her care. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog walker or pet sitter. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me”

10. Brigit T.
“Brigit T. has provided exceptional care to My dog and My cats for over 5 years. She has demonstrated the highest level of dedication (feeding/walks), compassion (play), and emotional strength that is needed. The bond between my pets and Brigit is real, whether for a whole day or overnight service. I would always consider her as my first choice for caring for any of my pets. She is just a darling and a pleasant person: 100%+”


11. Robert A.
“I often say that Robby is a pet-whisperer (especially dogs!) He has such a knack for tuning into their needs and they feel at ease and drawn to him. Having grown up with pets (reptiles and dogs alike) he is someone who is a natural when it comes to caring for them. You’d be in great hands with Robby as a walker/sitter! 10/10 recommend.”


12. Sang L.
“"Sanga has been a friend I've known for a long time. As far as I remember, she was always with her dog, and she is someone who loves pets more than anyone. There were a few times when I asked her to take care of my dog in the past, and my dog even refused to come back to me. Since she always shares positive emotions with her dog, she is more than well-suited for this profession."”


13. Jianing G.
“Jianing is a good friend of mine. She is an amazing pet caregiver. She is very responsible, always super careful with details. She took care of my dog and cat several times and they all love her!!! She will keep your fur babies safe and happy while you are away.”
