About: I genuinely love spending time with dogs. They have always been a huge part of my life. I treat every pet like they are my own. I am trustworthy and responsible. Can wait to meet you and your pet🤍🐶 I’m currently a post graduate. I am currently not working.I am more than available to sit/drop in and walk dogs between the hours 8am-3pm. I am available these hours. I am available, Monday-Thursday and Sunday. I have a fenced yard. I have 1 small Yorkie that is 12 years old and blind. He is kind and a loving little dog.

About: Hello pawrents! My name is Peiwen & I am a ceramics artist living in South Park of DTLA. I grew up around dogs and have been with my westie since I was 9! I am great with animals and luckily been blessed with many love from the dogs too! I am loving, patient, and I am the designated pet sitters among my friends. I currently teach at a ceramics studio part-time, and spend the rest of my time making art at home or in the studio. Our studio is dog friendly so I can take your doggo with me as long as they are well socialized! I am very active and love outdoor activities, and will take your pup on longer walks or even runs if needed. My apartment has a fenced dog park where your babies can roam around freely! I don’t currently have a dog of my own — after growing up with my beloved Westie for 12 years, I’ve taken time to focus on caring for other dogs through pet sitting and dog walking until I know I will be settling down in a city for more than 3-4 years. This also means your pup gets my full attention without needing to share space with another pet! It’s been a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals while keeping my schedule flexible. Over the years, I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds, from small dogs like Maltese to bigger dogs like a Rottweiler. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person that you leave your pet with even just for a short walk. I will make sure to provide regular text and photo updates and treat your dog like my own! I am a ceramics artist and teach part-time at a studio that is 3 minutes walk from my home. My schedule is very flexible and I can take your pup with me most days when I am not teaching! A meet and greet is a must before any service is offered! I want to get to know you and your dogs and make sure they are comfortable with me. Each dog has their own personality and I really want to make sure I honor them!

“Dominique was awesome! She was super communicative, playful with our kitties, and left our apartment wonderfully clean for our return. I will definitely reach out to her for future care.”

About: I was raised on a horse farm and have cared for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. I’ve fostered pregnant and nursing pets, raised litters, helped train service dogs, and supported senior pets and animals with medical needs. Friends and family regularly trust me with their beloved pets, and I always treat them with the same care I give my own. I respect each animal’s individual personality and boundaries, and I pride myself on being gentle, responsible, and attentive. Whether it’s a spirited puppy or a shy senior, I’ll meet them where they are—always with kindness and patience. I'm a recent UCLA grad taking a gap year to work on grad school applications, which means my schedule is flexible and pet care fits in perfectly! I can work from anywhere and am available for early morning walks starting as early as 6am, and most days I'm free until 6pm. I'm happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walks, and extended time with your pets if needed. I also offer house sitting, because I believe it's important for animals to stay in a familiar environment when their people are away. Whatever your needs are, I’m here to help! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines carefully—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medications, or respecting crate training and house rules. I take time to earn each animal’s trust, always moving at their pace and honoring their boundaries. I’m experienced with pets of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs, and I work hard to create a calm, stable environment while you’re away. I believe in treating every home with respect and every animal with the same care I give my own.

“Patrick was amazing with Coco! So consistent and patient with her. We loved him and can’t wait to use him again!”

“Connor is great! We will work with him again”

About: I've grown up with at least 3 dogs in the house, so multitasking is my usual. I have a 3-year old spayed mini wiener dog, Bee, who loves making new friends! I crate-trained her and also bag-trained her so she can come with me on coffee runs! She's been spayed only recently for breed-specific purposes, so I (unfortunately) have LOTS of experience with unspayed females/ in heat :) Bee walks at least 3 times a day 7am, 1pm, and 5pm (most nights also 9pm but she falls asleep before then!) I am also able to separate pets with crates before they eat. I work from home right now, so I am able to take breaks as needed! I am in the same room as my pets when I work, so I can send update pictures when needed :) I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex that has a lot of room for dogs to play. There are fenced courtyards around the area that I take my own dog to, but I always keep them leashed if outside of my apartment.

About: I'm an energetic, caring, and responsible pet lover with a genuine passion for animals. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry family member like their own—with love, patience, and safety as a top priority—I'm your person. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a full day of care, I'm here to make sure your pet is loved, entertained, and well looked after. I treat your pet like family — with love, patience, and personalized care. 🐾 I have plenty of free time and have chosen to spend it doing what I truly love: caring for animals. I believe pets are not just animals—they're family. Every dog I meet gets my full attention, affection, and care. Safe, Clean & Pet-Friendly Space I live in a secure, gated home that's not only pet-proof but also baby-proof. It's tidy, organized, and designed to be a safe haven for your pets to relax, play, and feel right at home.

About: As a dog dad of two 10 pound monsters. I’ve mastered the art of bringing joy to our furry friends with walks, treats, and games! I’m currently working part time from home. With my flexible schedule I can accommodate almost any need that your pet may need and give them a lot of attention! I have two little 10 pound dogs so your pup won’t be alone! I can crate your dog if needed. I can also take your fur baby on multiple walks a day if needed. I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard. If they require a lot of exercise, I have no issue with that as well!

About: I have had pets all my life ranging from dogs, cats, birds, chickens, a rabbit and even a guinea pig! I have also volunteered at an animal rescue caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I currently care for a senior dog and kitten. I am a full time college student at UCLA with an on campus job of a student manager so during the week I am busy. Which means my weekends are completely free!! I expect my schedule to open up more in the next two months. I have cared for reactive dogs while walking them during my volunteering at the rescue. My kitten is currently a flight risk so I understand all situations! I have had my senior dog for over 12 years so I have experienced every stage of a pets life.

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: Hello! I have lots of energy and will be sure to match that of your dog! I raised my dog, Bella, alone during covid, and to this day i’m the only one she’ll let bathe her without INTENSE struggle. I also trained my former dog, Tina, to weave her way through an obstacle course in record breaking time. My dad also has a farm in Puerto Rico with horses and cows, so I have extensive experience around animals far bigger than yours! I’ll only be on campus about two days out of the week. My schedule differs week by week since i’m an opera singer with LA Opera as well as some other opera companies and groups around the LA area. I will sit with your pet or play with them, whatever suits your needs and their needs! I used to travel on tour with a group, and i’ve stayed at over 100 host families houses, so i’m always respectful of your home and property.

“Kalyn has done drop ins with our older cat twice this summer. Our cat has been happy and our daughters love getting photos and videos from Kalyn.”

About: I have a 9-year-old calico cat and an 8-year-old golden retriever, both of whom hold a special place in my heart. My love for animals has been a part of me for as long as I can remember, and I have a deep understanding of what it takes to provide proper, loving care. To me, my pets are like family, and I always strive to give them the very best. I bring the same dedication and compassion to the care of other pets entrusted to me, ensuring they receive the highest level of attention, affection, and care. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays so i am available for dog walks and drop ins all day Friday through Sunday and Wednesday. I get home from work at 4:30 on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays and can do drop ins and dog walks more so in the evening! I live in downtown LA and am able to work remotely 2x a week! I am free for any type of service during the weekends at any time. During the week I am able to make drop ins or walks anytime after 4-5PM to ensure your babies are taken care of while you're away. I believe that pets should feel at ease with those caring for them, so building a strong, trusting relationship is essential to me. I strive to respect each pet's individual space while making sure they receive the right balance of attention, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and healthy.

“Our family has been going through a lot of illness creating a lot of travel and worry. It has been wonderful to have Brenda taking care of our dog so we don’t have to worry about him!”
