About: Since I was 11, I’ve taken care of my own poodle and my aunt’s dog. My dog had a very healthy long life of 19 years. I love furry friends and I think they are best friends with human. I will take care of your pets as my own pets. I’m available to take care a dog or a cat on Friday and weekends. I love playing with dogs and cats. I will also take them out for a walk downstairs.

About: Devoted pet parent and dog lover for 15 years, caring for 3 or 4 dogs at a time. Teeny to XL, every dog is a good dog!! Very flexible work from home is allowing me plenty of time to dog sit. I would love to have your pups over any time ◡̈ I have two dogs who absolutely love friends (more than treats!)

About: Hi, I’m Connor! I’m a marketing student at UCLA, and I’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’ve spent years dog-sitting and helping friends and family with their pets. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, so I’m comfortable with just about anything. I recently said goodbye to my sweet dog, Nemo, who crossed the rainbow bridge on 4/11/24 at 16 years old. He wasn’t just a pet—he was family—and losing him reminded me how much our pets mean to us. That’s why it’s so important to me to care for your pets with the same love, respect, and trust I gave Nemo. Whether your pet loves walks, playing in the park, or just hanging out at home for cuddles and treats, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away. I also have a car, so I can transport your pet if needed—whether it’s for a vet visit, a trip to the park, or anything else. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I am currently back to school, which means I have a plethora of free time to care for your pets! I’m mainly available any time during the week as well as weekends currently. Trust with both the pet parent and the pet themselves is very important! Meeting prior to services is ideal to introduce myself to you and your pet to make them feel comfortable. Discussing rules, routines and expectations is also important to ensuring a good match!
“I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! She truly went above and beyond for my pups and made me feel like I could relax on my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”

No I don’t speak “doggie” but I instantly feel the connection with them. Plus: Currently I work from home so I have enough time to take them for a walk as many times Each dog requieres. I started as a sitter with some neighbors’ dogs and I loved it because they become my company during the day and I love walk with them on the street is just de-stressing. I like to play with them and treat them with love. For me they are a very important member of a family and they deserves being treated in the best way possible. Side note: I love taking photos! Every dog I watch goes home with a bunch of great ones. 😆 Work from home M-F and free during the weekends so I’ll be able to be with your dog 24/7 I like to go on hikes during the weekend so if your dog needs to exercise, I may be a great option. There’s a fenced dog park at the apartment complex where I live so usually I take my dog to that dog park and on walks around the neighborhood
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friend, family and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets. From daily walks and trips to the park to feeding, bathing and overnight care, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and size. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and the care they deserve. Whether it's an energetic pup who loves playtime or a senior dog needing extra patience, I'm committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dog walking, check-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whether it's a morning or evening walk, a midday check-up, or extended overnight stay, I ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I love spending time with furry companions, so pet care doesn't feel like work it's something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. Whether in my home or a client's home, I ensure that every pet feels comfortable, safe and well care for. I live in an apartment, so I provide a clean and cozy indoor environment where pets have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime and quiet space to relax. Pets staying in my home will have regular walks and exercise, and I follow their routine as per the clients request to make sure they feel at home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I stick to their usual schedule to maintain consistency, ensuring they are fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of walks and attention. My goal is to make each pet feel at ease and cared for, whether they're staying with me or in their own familiar space.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether it’s an energetic pup needing structure or a senior dog looking for extra snuggles, I know how to balance discipline with affection. I believe in positive reinforcement and setting clear boundaries, ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and well-behaved. From long walks to belly rubs, I treat every pup like my own. I work remotely, M - F, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime. My days are flexible, making it easy to accommodate your pup’s needs. I have a large studio apartment with a dog park on the same floor. I take walks and runs near my apartment but can easily keep dog walks to my apartment’s dog park if a pup gets overwhelmed with the city life.

“Jenny watched our two cats while we were away for five days and she was STELLAR. She was very responsible and prompt with communication, asking questions anytime there was anything unexpected or if something was unclear. Our boys are a bit shy but she did gain their trust and got us some pictures when they finally came out from under the bed. We definitely hope she will be available to book with again the next time we are out of town, and would definitely recommend her to others.”
