House Sitting Downtown

“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for years, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and getting to know their individual personalities. I have 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. From 2020–2023, I also regularly cared for my aunt’s service dog whenever she traveled out of town. That experience taught me how important it is to follow an owner’s instructions carefully and respect an animal’s established routine, especially when caring for a working dog. I also have experience with cats! I owned a cat for a year and spent about 10 months helping care for my roommate’s cat, so I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats attention while also respecting when they want their own space. I know leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their person is away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’m comfortable planning my day around their needs. As a college student, I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m also available on weekends and can coordinate care around each pet’s established schedule. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so if your dog expects breakfast at 7 AM or your cat has decided dinner being five minutes late is a personal betrayal, I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent! 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home, belongings, and pets with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable and clearly instructed, playtime, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure and pay close attention during walks and whenever entering or leaving the home. I never introduce new foods, treats, animals, or activities without the owner’s permission. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can relax knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. 🐕🐈💕

“Latte loved Jenny. I arrived home and was greeted by a happy, affectionate, playful cat. My holiday was enhanced by a steady stream of creative kitty pix and videos. Jenny is a gem. Natural grace. A true cat whisperer and animal lover.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following detailed care instructions. As a personal trainer, I’m also very active, patient, and used to building trust with both people and pets. I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and communication, and I’ll always treat your pet like my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and consistency in their routine. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions, keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Sandy was AMAZING! She kept us up to date on Charlie with tons of videos and pictures. She played a ton with him and Charlie had a blast. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.

“I LOVE Mi-Cha-El !! I booked Mi-Cha-El fairly last minute when my original pet care fell through. He responded quickly and was willing to come to my place very soon after connecting in order to meet in person. He is so sweet, reassuring, and calm and you can really see his love for animals. He updated me with pictures and videos and my shy covid cat warmed up to him and they became friends. I will definitely be booking Mi-Cha-El again!! Thank you so much for your care and attention, Mi-Cha-El!”

About: Since I was about 8, I have lived with either one or two dogs, and currently have two kittens. I have friends and family who trust me to dog sit at their homes. I have volunteered at the animal shelter to walk dogs and am always happy to dog/cat sit during my free time. Other animals I have cared for are reptiles, including python snakes and tortoises. Lastly, I have experience taking care of senior cats/dogs and administiring medications on a strict schedule, including oral medication, supplements, and eye drops. I'm available any day for most of the day! I am great with time management and can work my schedule around caring for your pet. Usually, I start with walking/letting the dogs outside if there is a yard and pick up any droppings. Then, I check on the food and water. For cats, I clean the litter box everyday. I will walk dogs whenever is preferred by owner and will spend quality time with them while being alert to their needs.

“Dennis is an excellent dog sitter! He is friendly, polite, welcoming... Just the kind of energy that makes your furry loved one have a great experience with him. He also is a good communicater with texts and pics of the visit...putting your mind at ease while you are out. If you are in the DTLA or surrounding area... Would recommend Dennis!”

“Lily was so great with our pup but also to our house while we were away. She was so helpful with the chaos of a recent move in to a new house - so grateful we found her! Absolutely will book again :)”

Alexis H.

“Jacqueline was amazing while she house sat our two elderly dogs. Best of all, not only did she take care of our pups, but she kept our place clean. Constant updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”

Aditya A.

“We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!”

Natalie S.

“Simply the best! You know once a dog reaches a certain age, and some say only a parent could love them…Grace also loves them! And tends to all their old dog needs and quirks with a smile, the utmost care, and a fabulous attitude. First time using Rover and having anyone aside from family stay at our house with our two dogs, and Grace was amazing! Prompt, communicative, made sure everything was done how we and the dogs do it. She pays attention to details and gives thorough updates. And she goes above and beyond. You can tell instantly that she truly is an animal lover, and it was clear the dogs could tell too! Looking forward to her staying with them when we go out of town. It’s an absolute relief knowing that they’ll be well taken care of when we’re away!”

Katie H.

“Karen was awesome! She was available super last minute for an overnight stay with my picky pitbull. Despite the short notice, she was able to find time to come meet Clementine before I headed out of town. She was kind and considerate, and I would definitely look to her again for future bookings.”

About: I worked at a dog daycare in LA for two years. I grew up around dogs and currently have two beautiful small dogs. I have fostered many dogs in the past and wound up adopting one of them. I currently work from home and have very flexible hours and schedule. I like to take my dogs out for walks and bathroom breaks every three hours. A long walk in the morning and night and shorter ones throughout the day. Having two dogs, we have a very pet friendly environment in our apartment. Furniture they can crawl and jump on. Multiple dog beds, tons of toys and treats. Extra dog bowls, leashes, poop bags. Everything to make your pet comfortable and their stay stress free and hopefully fun for them.

“Lauren is incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and easy going. I felt completely comfortable having her housesit with my 15 year old pup. She didn’t bat an eye dealing with my pup’s care issues, which was so great because I was anxious about leaving her with someone in her old age. I would definitely book again!”

Jeremy C.

“You truly could not find a better dogsitter than Jessica! She took such amazing care of our girl - Nessie fell in love with her instantly and seemed to have an absolutely wonderful time with her while we were away! Jessica kept in touch throughout her stay at our place with daily photos and updates, and in every picture Nessie looked even happier! Jessica also took great care of our home - she even watered our plants! We can’t imagine calling anyone else (Nessie probably wouldn’t let us anyway)!”

Diana M.

“Carolina has a very calm demeanor. My dogs are protective of our home and bark incessantly at strangers, but they stopped almost immediately when they sensed Carolina’s energy upon the first meeting. She was communicative and sent updates daily while we were away. I would hire her again.”

Jennifer H.

“Great sitter. My cat was well cared for, exercised, and brushed multiple times per day. I received many pictures throughout the booking and I would book again.”

About: I grew up with 3 cats, one had diabetes and required insulin shots. I love dogs and have dog sat for plenty of friends and family. My schedule is flexible, the longer the stay the better. I travel for work and can work from home. I work remotely and from home. I love being outside, and my schedule is super flexible. My online job is at the house for 4 hours a day, and for music sessions, I won’t be gone for more than 6 hours. Everything is built for maximum amount of flexibility while also maintaining a routine. I will care for each pet individually. I’m able to spend extended periods outdoors, be home for hours at a time, and take the dogs on a run if needed!
