Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In City Center

“Aksana was amazing, our dogs were loved, and seemed very happy. She followed instructions and we are super grateful so was able to come last minute. We look forward to hiring her again ✨.”

About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to high-energy adult breeds. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me early experience with puppy routines, patience, and consistency during important developmental stages. I recently adopted a husky mix and actively follow a structured training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high-energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy—whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Since my very first Boxer, Roxy, I’ve been completely in love with the companionship of dogs. In fact, I raised my own dog, Rambo, from a puppy, and he still lives with me today! As a fellow dog owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can sometimes be to juggle everything that comes with having a pet. Let me help ease those worries and be there for you when you need a hand! I absolutely love everything about animals and can’t wait to meet your pup soon! I live super close to the beach and several great dog parks. I’m very attentive to each owner’s preferences for how and where their dog should be walked, and I’ll always check in to make sure your pup gets the care that suits them best. Since I’m a long-distance runner, I’m more than happy (and able!) to give your dog as much exercise as they need! I'm super flexible and easygoing, but I do have to be strict about overnight dog-sitting cancellations to keep things fair for everyone. That said, if we set up a plan to walk your pup, you can count on me, I’d never miss it! 😊 Your pet's happiness means so much to me! I won’t be able to provide house-sitting services, but I do have a park very close to my home where I can take your dog for walks and, with your permission, even enjoy some playtime in the dog park! Rest assured, I’ll be the only one caring for your dog, so you can feel completely at ease!

About: I work from home and am home full time, 24/7! I’ll be a friend and playmate to all fur babies! I have experience with pets with separation anxiety so I totally get how they need all day love! Live in a duplex house with an extra room for all the furries and a huge living room with dog beds all over! AND, drumroll please… a HUGE backyard: awesome 6ft fence, with full natural grass yard and a small flower garden for all the smells. I’d love to have your pets over for a paw-ty while you are away, or pick them up for a walk on the way to the parks! I love taking pets to new parks for sniffs and if we have to drive, every pup gets a seatbelt! And a free bath if we end up getting a little rowdy and dirty while in nature hehe! I’ve taken care of various small to medium sized dogs for the last 15 years, from bichon, Havanese, poodle, chihuahua, Dalmatians, to Huskies! Even some furry cat friends! I love all things furry and have a fluffy baby of my own. I have experience with senior dogs who need medicine, diaper care, or those pups with special needs like assistance walking or going to the restroom, as I did those with my senior baby before he passed. My husband also has a hybrid schedule so there is always an extra set of eyes and an pup parent for love and cuddles! For any elderly dogs or dogs who can’t walk too far but love the fresh air, we have our large fenced yard and I also have 2 dog strollers to make sure they still feel safe and part of the dog pack! Safety is the MOST important to me so I have separated feeding areas and additional baby gates for the doors. Because of this, all unleashed play will occur in our fenced yard and we won’t be visiting any dog parks so I appreciate your understanding on this!! Neighbors, friends, family, and roommates have all entrusted me to watch over their loved ones and we’ve always had fun, safe, and silly times together! I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your fur babies and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m big on pet action videos and pictures so if you want those as a pet parent I’m at your service! I love to cater to each pet parent and pet’s needs through their little staycation oasis. I’m fully remote and work from home so your pups will have a friend 24/7 if you wanted! Daily routines include wake up cuddles and kisses, morning, lunch, and dinner walks. More cuddles and kisses, lots of toys for playtime! Lots of beds for sleepies, a large fenced yard for play chase or fetch and separate areas for eating! Oh yeah, and more cuddles, kisses, photos and videos in-between! I will always have your dog on leash when we go for walks or in an enclosed yard if they need to be let out or just fed with a companion. I love taking pups to large grassy fields and in that case I have a few 25 ft leashes so the pups can “run free” but won’t be able to run away and if I have multiple pets, I would have my husband there to also help monitor the pup play!

“I always feel confident leaving my senior diabetic cat in Tamar’s care. She administers his insulin without issue, makes sure he eats and is cared for while I’m gone. He loves her too ❤️10/10 recommend Tamar!!”

About: Hi! I’m Ryanne, a neuroscience & pre-med student at American University, currently home for the summer with a fully flexible schedule, meaning your pets get my undivided time and attention! I’ve been pet sitting since high school, so I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even koi fish for neighbors and family friends. I currently have two small dogs of my own (a cocker spaniel and a shih tzu mix), so I truly understand how much your fur babies mean to you. I’m known for my calm, nurturing energy, which helps anxious or shy pets feel safe and comfortable quickly. As a future healthcare professional working toward my CCMA license, I approach every pet’s care with the same attention to detail and compassion I bring to my studies. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, dog walk, or house sit, I treat every pet like my own! I am currently home from college and completing a self-paced CCMA course, which allows me a very flexible daily schedule! I typically start my day around 8:00 AM, making me available for early morning feedings and play sessions. Because my studies are online and flexible, I can easily drop by throughout the day or evening to ensure your pet has consistent company and care. Whether you need a standard routine or specific visit times, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my daily workflow. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety and maintaining their established routine to minimize stress. I am very detail-oriented with instructions regarding feeding, medication, and home security. I make sure all doors and windows are secure during every visit and provide regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe. My goal is to treat your home with the utmost respect while giving your pet the same attentive, loving care I would give my own.

“Alicia was so great and communicative. She sent so many cute pics and videos. She took the best care of my cat Starfish for almost 2 weeks. I felt very safe leaving my cat in her care. She took the time to give her sweet cuddles in addition to feeding her daily. She even was able to check there were no leaks during the rainstorm, which was so nice of her. Highly recommend! Would definitely use her again.”

“Neha came more than asked and sent lots of photos and videos of our pup while we were away”

“Magdalena is wonderful. She took the time to come meet the dogs first and get to know them. When she came to take care of them she sent photos and updates which was really appreciated. I will definitely hire Magdalena again.”

Kristen & Ana H.

“Sorn did a great job looking after Marx while we were away! She sent plenty of photos and videos that were reassured us that he was well taken care of. Thank you Sorn!”

Wyatt S.

“Alina is AMAZING. My cat loved her. She was very good at sending pictures and videos of my Athena. She really puts your mind at ease while you’re out of town. I know my baby was in great hands. Thanks again ?”

Kristin L.

“We cannot recommend Ali enough! This is now our second time having her look after our cats, and we have never felt so comfortable leaving them before. She goes above and beyond to communicate and look after our kitties and we can't thank her enough!”

Chloe S.

“Bella did an amazing job taking care of my cat! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and luckily Bella was available and willing to help. We had an initial meetup where she asked a lot of good care questions and I explained how I feed him, where things are, vet contact info, etc. She made sure to send pictures and videos for each visit and provided an update summary. It was comforting and relieving to have someone who loves cats taking good care of my cat while I was out of town. I would highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for cat sitting and I hope I can book her the next time I go out of town. Thank you Bella! :)”

“Irina was great with my two Boxers. They were always really excited to see her. She was really easy to work with and would even brush my one pup who sheds like crazy. I would definitely book Irina again.”

Keith R.

“Wow! I have not done Rover since before the pandemic. Andrew and Traci went above and beyond to make sure my pups felt comfortable to cuddle, eat, and go on a walk. They even brought in a package for us! I can’t wait until we can reach out again for another hang.”

About: Referral code for first time users: https://www.rover.com/sit/geovai53604 I’ve raised two puppies—a Shar Pei and a Chihuahua—so I understand firsthand that every dog has their own personality, temperament, and unique needs. Caring for dogs with such different dispositions has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following care instructions closely. Whether your pup needs extra playtime, a gentle approach, or a very specific routine, I’m committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect. I work remotely so I am available for most of the day and night. I am very flexible and will make sure your pup gets what they need while you are away. I care for every pet based on their individual routine and comfort level, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible: feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and patience, especially if they need time to warm up.

“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive in her communication and sent great pictures of our cats so we knew they were well cared for.”

About: I have 1 small dog, Stevie, who I love dearly and I have more love to give! Stevie is 6 and I recently said goodbye to my 16-year-old pup, Kiwi, so I'm comfortable with a range of age care and ability. I have patience and compassion for your pet's quirkiness and trauma responses, and respect for their boundaries. I can't wait to meet them! I currently have a very flexible schedule since I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make a lot of scenarios or time frames work. [Note: I am taking a break from in-home overnight care at this time to have some space to grieve my senior pup I said bye to, but feel free to inquire and I may be able to assist on a case by case basis] My dog, Stevie, mostly likes to keep to herself (she becomes playful with time) so does best sharing space with dogs who don't mind the company but don't need furry playmates. I never let dogs off leash unless explicitly given permission by the owner, and I don't have a yard but live in a safe and walkable neighborhood and can take them out frequently if staying with me. At your home, I will always respect any house rules you have. On walks, I'm careful to pay attention to my surroundings and I am comfortable handling dogs who are reactive to other dogs and animals.
