Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Central City, Los Angeles, CA

“Crystal was the sweetest and the most caring cat sitter for my baby! She was super attentive to all of our instructions, was accommodating in doing a very last minute meet-and-greet, was communicative throughout the visits, and she even took out the trash from his dirty litter for us (which was very nice to come home to after a trip) ❤️ our cat loved getting attention from her and i can tell she is truly an animal lover. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had years of experience caring for cats and small pets, both my own and others’. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique personality—whether they’re playful and curious or shy and reserved—and I make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. My routine includes regular feeding, litter box maintenance, interactive playtime, and plenty of cuddles for social cats (or quiet companionship for more independent ones). What sets me apart is my patience and reliability. I communicate frequently with owners, providing daily updates and photos, so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. I’m also skilled at reading feline behavior and adjusting my approach accordingly—whether it’s helping a nervous cat warm up or recognizing when a senior cat needs extra comfort and gentle care. I am available during all weekdays and weekends. I will plan my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s early morning visits before classes or evening sessions after work, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. I focus on maintaining their daily routines and creating a calm, familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely from feeding times and portion sizes to preferred toys and special habits to make sure each pet feels safe and cared for. I will make sure that the cats have a loving day!

“Excellent doggy care taker of my baby Emmy. Excellent communication and reliable. Thank you X a million.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the past 10 years. I know how to handle dogs large and small and am very good at reading their behavior to keep both them and others safe. I am currently a college student, so I have very flexible hours. I am available for short or long visits. I am available anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays and most weekends. I am always sure to never neglect an animal in my care; I treat them as I would a child under my care. I love to be around animals 24/7 and never get tired of playing.

“First time booking Jenny! She was great! Communicative and quick to respond. She was able to follow instructions and was helpful in giving a Louie attention and care. Would recommend Jenny for and drop in visits! The only note was that she brought her partner with her - no issues with that but a heads up would be great as I was surprised when I saw someone else in my apt. Other than that everything went smoothly!”

About: I've been taking care of people's pets for most of my life. I grew up with cats and taking care of my neighbors' dogs. Throughout my adult life, I regularly cared for people's cats and dogs, both in terms of walks, overnight care, and extended care. This care has ranged from simply keeping the loved one company to administering IVs and medicine for aging and ill pets. Although I currently do not have pets of my own, I regularly volunteer at Wags and Walks, walking shelter dogs and foster cats from a local shelter when there is need. I love all animals and understand that each pet is a unique individual with different needs. I'm open to walks and visits! I work in Koreatown and live in Sherman Oaks so anywhere near or between those neighborhoods are preferred! I currently work M-F from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Koreatown. I live in Sherman Oaks. I I am available starting at 5:00 p.m. on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I'm happy to stay with your pet overnight in my place or yours. I am open to bringing a pet into my home (allowed in my building) or coming to your home to stay with your pet. I ensure my place is a warm, comfortable environment for your loved one and adjust to their needs. I have an array of cat homes and toys from when I occasionally foster and for dogs, I love taking them out for a walk, as long or short as they need and want. At home, I provide a comfortable place for them and welcome all cuddles and give them to option to sleep on my bed or on a dog bed, depending on your preference.

About: Yes I'm available for the holidays!! hihi!!, i grew up with dogs since i was young-- but although i might not have much experience with them, i knew the basics of taking care of them. such as cleaning after them, and giving them fresh food and water and giving them their daily walks! i do however have more experience with kitties, as i do have two kitties myself; i know everything about cats but i know every kitty is different and im willing to learn how to take care of your furbaby! im working part time at the moment, im very flexible with my schedule and can fit any pet sitting as soon as possible, (as long as i can) I have two cats, I know how and when to clean up their litter boxes, give them their feedings and/or change their water. Grooming and trimming nails is easy to do so if needed. If any mess was made I know to clean up after myself. Any behavior changes or any emergency i will immediately text/call you (the owner.)

“Malia was thoughtful, communicative, and kind. Thanks to her I was able to travel with the ease of mind, knowing she would take great care of my kitty!”

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs and helped raise them, your pup will be in great hands with me! I’m definitely one of those dog lovers who will analyze your dog’s personality and probably talk to them in a different voice, because let’s face it, if you don’t talk to a dog in a special voice, are you really a dog lover? I love trips to the dog park, the beach, or just playing around on my apartment’s fenced rooftop where pups can roam off-leash and have fun up in the sky. I also keep a stock of treats and toys on hand so your dog will never be bored. I live with my boyfriend, and even if I’m not around right away, he’s always there to help. He’s a dog lover too, and he never passes up an opportunity to cuddle with the pups. I'm currently available full time as your pet sitter, so I’m able to fully adapt to whatever routine your pet is used to. Whether that’s early morning walks, midday play breaks, or bedtime cuddles. Pet care is something that fits seamlessly into my day because it’s what I genuinely love to do. I already spend most of my time around animals, whether I’m going on walks, playing on my apartment’s fenced-in rooftop, or hanging out at the beach or dog park. Having your pet join me just makes it all the more fun! I'm big on keeping a consistent routine to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet in mine, I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness. I’m very adaptable. If your dog needs structured walks and feeding times, I’ll follow them exactly. If they just want a buddy to relax with, I’m happy to provide company and snuggles. In my home, your dog will get multiple walks, plenty of playtime, and can even join me on local park outings if you’re comfortable with that. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved wherever they are.

“Attentive to details, and gave followup after the visit to make sure everything went as expected.”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, neighbors, friends and family members have always trusted me to be there for their furry friends. I’ve pet sit dogs ages 0-16. This includes bathing, walking, feeding, meal prepping, and playtime. I am currently a part time senior in college. My availability is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Fridays can be flexible if asked a few days before. I can offer care at your apartment/ or home. Currently living in a studio, so overnight homecare is at your home. Other than overnight homecare, I can provide services wherever needed !

About: I am a trained professional in the pet care industry with experience in daycare settings, dog bathing and grooming, training, sitting, and walking. I am well-read on animal behavior, dog breed history, and best practices for care and training. I've worked with dogs with behavioral issues, reactivity, histories of trauma or abuse, disabilities, and dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds under the sun. I'm not your average dog lover. My first thought isn't "aww, cute puppy," it's "oh, an Alaskan Malamute, I hope the owner keeps an eye on their temperature regulation here in LA." Of course, my second thought is "aww, cute puppy!" I would be honored to put my experience towards making sure your beloved pet gets the care they deserve. Dogs are my life, so I work at a dog daycare part time, and have multiple regular clients for dogsitting and walking outside of Rover. Animals are naturally unpredictable, so when I'm needed isn't always set in stone, and I may not have regular availability; please reach out to me in advance so I can guarantee I'll be there for your pet! An introduction of a stranger (me) can already be exciting and stressful enough! I want to learn from you what your pet's routine is, so I can make sure to keep their environment and activities as close as possible to when you're with them.

About: I’ve volunteered at Adopt & Shop and worked at a daycare where I took care of both small and large dogs-walking, playing, and feeding them. I’m a huge animal lover, and while I don’t have pets of my own right now, I’d love to share that care and attention with yours (: Mostly, I am available during the following (for dog walking, other services I have open availability): - Tuesdays, Fridays (Open Availability) - Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays (4pm-open) - Saturdays & Sundays (Open Availability) I’m very flexible and work hybrid so if any requested service doesn’t fall in my schedule, feel free to reach out/ask. I also live with my partner who loves and is great w dogs! I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I can assist with consistent feeding, playtime, and walking, and make sure they always have enough space to move around, and treats.

“Kayln was awesome to coordinate with and very communicative. She was a rockstar with our two cats, one of which needed oral medicine twice a day. She always sent pictures and gave us peace of mind on our trip”

About: Hi there! My name is Sebastian, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years. I started out puppy sitting for my sister and family friends, and since then I’ve had the chance to care for dogs of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies under 1 year old to sweet senior pups over 12 years old. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, or cozy companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable following special routines, giving extra patience to puppies still learning, and providing gentle care for older dogs who move at a slower pace. My goal is to give your pet the same care and attention I would want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶❤️ As a student, I balance my classes during the week, but I always make time for pet care. I have free time on Fridays and weekends, which means I can give dogs my full attention—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure their needs are met just like they would be by their own family. This includes feeding on schedule, taking them on walks for exercise and fresh air, and cleaning up after them to keep their space comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs with simple routines as well as those with very specific structures—whether it’s medication, feeding instructions, or extra playtime. I’m flexible, patient, and happy to adjust to whatever your pup needs.

“Laura was extremely easy to communicate with and super friendly! She took care of everything with ease and gave a lot of attention to our cats, which was much appreciated. 10/10 would rebook!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life which has allowed me to get a better understanding of them as I have taken care of puppies to senior dogs that were 15+ years old. It has taught me how to better interact with them. I currently work a full time job that is from 5 am to 2 pm so I do have plenty of time during the day to care for your pet. From time to time I do occasionally pickup extra shifts on Fridays but they are usually from 5 am- 9:30 am. I currently have Friday and Saturdays off so I can provide full attention to your pet for those days. Let me know if you have anymore questions regarding scheduling. I am happy to answer any questions you have. *If my calendar shows I am unavailable on certain days that you may require, still send me a message, sometimes I can be available but I may have limitations on my time* I do have pets of my own but when there is a new dog that comes to my house, I focus on the interaction between the dogs and if the new pet is introduced to my dogs and feels nervous, I have space to keep my pets and your other pet separate so there is no worries that your pet will feel overwhelmed. While boarding is an option, I usually prefer to be in a client's home as that is where the pet feels more secure and safe without having to stress them in case a client has a dog that is a bit shy to be around other dogs. Regardless of whether I am caring for the pet in my home or in a client’s home, I like to communicate on how their pet is doing.

About: My name is Natalie and I have been around dogs all throughout my life, mostly with small dogs. I love dogs of all sizes and ages and I got to experience more breeds/sizes by working with through dog walking apps. I also have experience working with dogs by volunteering at an animal shelter where I got to learn lots about animal behavior and how to approach animals in different scenarios. I try my best to give the dogs that I take of care the best experience that they can get through play time, walks around the neighborhood, and lots of belly rubs :) I work full-time so my availability is mostly weekday evenings and weekends. I have availability in the Los Angeles area where I live and in the Long Beach area where I work. I am good with communication through text and I do my best to respond to messages in a timely manner. During drop-in visits, I make sure to follow the pet owner instructions thoroughly and attentively. I approach the animals in a calm and cheerful manner and I do my best to make them feel comfortable with me.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets and currently share my home with two dogs of my own. Along with raising and training my pups, I’ve also provided pet sitting for family and friends, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to provide not only daily care but also love, patience, and attention to make pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I currently work at the airport full time Saturday to Wednesday. I have my mornings free as I work nights. Thursdays and Fridays would work best with my schedule. For walking services, I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level—whether that’s a fun, brisk walk to burn off energy or a slower-paced stroll with plenty of time to sniff around. When we return, I always make sure they get fresh water to stay hydrated. For check-in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, and cuddles. Before I leave, I always give your pup a quick potty break so they’re comfortable until the next visit. My goal is to keep dogs happy, safe, and cared for, just like they’re my own.
