About: ** Dog Walking Information: I offer a premium one-dog-at-a-time walking service, which means your dog receives my FULL attention, care, and supervision throughout the entire walk. I believe dogs are happiest and safest when they're not competing with a group for attention, allowing me to create a more personalized experience and build a genuine connection with each pup. I am also an avid runner and love running around Silverlake Reservoir or Echo Park Lake. If your dog really needs to get energy out, then I am the gal for that. I enjoy taking pups to the Silverlake Dog Park as well, for a nice cool down. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a more energetic walk, I'm happy to tailor each outing to their needs and personality. Would love to hear more information about your pup and help make his/her day more enjoyable with a long nature walk!! xo ------------------------------------------------------- ** Overnight Information: I take pride in offering a professional, personable, and premium boarding service, where I board only ONE dog at a time to ensure undivided attention. My home is consistently clean, with a sizable/gated backyard providing a safe, fun and hygienic environment for your furry companion. Working from home also allows me to be fully dedicated to your pet's needs, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience during their stay. I also come equipped with crates, dog beds, and many dog enrichment toys so even if you can't bring yours, your dog will get the bedding/toy situation he/she needs to feel comfortable and have fun. And as an added security, I place an airtag on your dog's collar for the entire stay for mine and your peace of mind.** What sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile skill set and genuine passion for pets. I have expertise in both training puppies and providing gentle care for seniors, and can cater to a wide range of needs. My commitment to continuous learning means I stay updated on the latest in pet care, ensuring a safe and enriching experience for your furry family members. Whether it's nurturing the boundless energy of a young pup or offering extra patience and comfort to a senior companion, I can provide the specialized care your pets deserve, setting me apart as a well-rounded and devoted pet caregiver. Next to my experience on Rover, I also have over 5 years of experience fostering kittens and dogs. I currently work as a freelance writer from a beautiful home in Echo Park. My home is completely fenced in with ample play area for your fur baby to enjoy. I would love to share my home with your puppo for walks, cuddles, sun bathing, snacking, fetch and water fun! When caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I provide ample playtime, regular exercise, and affection to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met, especially when they are away from mom/dad. I am also keen on maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules and medication if needed, to minimize stress. My home includes a sizable backyard with an enclosed fence and I am also within walking distance of two parks. I also love driving to the Silverlake reservoir and Elysian for midday jaunts!

“MInh was INCREDIBLE. She walked my dog every day for a week and my dog loved her. She sent lots of pictures and updated me on the goings on of the walk and how my dog was doing. She took great care with both my dog and my house and I be hiring her again in the future. Plus she was super kind and had a great energy about her. Thanks Minh!”

“I had a great experience with Jason as my dog walker for Uzi. He was communicative from the start, always keeping me updated and making scheduling easy. He arrived on time, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Jason was also very friendly and clearly attentive to Uzi’s needs. Most importantly, he made sure Uzi got plenty of exercise and came back happy and relaxed after each walk. It was clear Jason genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being, and that made all the difference. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker.”

About: Experienced pet owner (3 dogs, 3 cats, currently own 1 dog) and dog fosterer between 2016-2018 for multiple organizations! I recently had a stray dog take shelter on my patio, likely not a coincidence, and after a week of coaxing managed to bring her inside my home with crate training (my dog Petunia was a great companion) and get her into rescue! See 3rd photo! I truly love animals and have experience with all sizes, energy levels and even fear based aggression. I administer meds to my dog daily and am extremely specific when it comes to my own dog's care, so I know what it means to be a client with high expectations! I love getting to know and develop bonds with animals and it has always been natural to me. Depending on your dog, my dog Petunia can cohabitate with yours or yours with mine. I have a flexible remote schedule, with more availability on Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoons and evenings during the week work very well for me! I consider any Rover service a delightful respite where I can disconnect amd focus on your pet! I am likely unable to host your pet in my home, but its a possibility, and I will quite happily visit yours! I am very good about making a calm entrance and getting to know each pet "on their level".

“Laura has been walking my dog weekly for almost a year, and we are so grateful to have her help. She's incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and most importantly, treats my senior pup with so much love & care. She's goes above and beyond: she sends photos, a short report after each walk, refills water bowls, makes sure the temperature is OK in the house — you name it. Laura is an essential part of our pup support community and anyone would be so lucky to have her take care of their pet. She loves animals SO much, and was made for this work!”

“Ryan has walked my senior dog, Lily, several times now. She is very patient with her as she wants to smell all the things and he’s able to handle her around other dogs even though she’s dog aggressive. I will continue using Ryan whenever I need help and I encourage you to use him as well.”

About: I have walked, taken care of, and loved dogs for many years. I have never had one of my own due to my dads allergy but it just made me want to work with them more. I have been tested with neighbors, people via the internet, and friends and family to walk and petsit their dogs for many years. I used to use nextdoor to find gigs but now that I have moved to LA I am giving an app a try! I work from home and set my own schedule so I can walk, play, and give attention to the dog all day. Once I’m off at 5 I don’t have any big commitments so after work is free for me as well. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own room and bathroom so there is plenty of space for the pup to hangout. I also have a car so I can go anywhere I need to go.

“Michelle did a great job getting my shy dog to warm up to her, was very communicative and responsible. She gave my dog good exercise; will use her service again in the future.”

About: My senior pup Atticus and I would love to host you! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel at home. I currently live in an apartment right next to Echo Park Lake so I love to take advance of that loop with the pups. Whether it's cuddles on the couch or active time in the park, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and settled. I’m able to be home for the majority of the day as I nanny for kids after school hours. When I’m not home my senior dog Atticus is happy to hold down the fort. Safety is absolutely crucial for me. I’ll always be sure to keep your dog in a safe environment with control of the situation and make sure they’re comfortable and happy.

About: Costume designer with 15yrs of pet sitting experience and am very good at handling dog-reactive types, and navigating the ups and downs of the city! I am usually pretty flexible and try to be as communicative as possible. Just let me know your dog’s needs and I will do everything I can to meet them. I have also worked with several different types of harnesses, muzzles, and bark collars. I will take pictures of your pup as I walk them, in the house, at the park, whatever you would like! I hope to hear from you and your pup soon! Need a cat sitter? Say no more! I love all cats and understand their boundaries very well. My current availability will allow me to take your pet on long walks, plenty of play time, and any other stimulation games you have available. I always follow the directions left for me by the owners. Every house, dog, and living situation is different and I’m very respectful of boundaries. I leave the house better than when I found it and will make sure you have fresh linens for your arrival! Nothing like not having to worry about any chores after a long trip :)

About: Hey! I grew up with dogs in my household, so I’ve had a lot of training and experience with taking care of them. I regularly go for a walk, run or hike with the dogs I watch around Echo Park lake or Elysian park, which is in close proximity to my apartment if they are up for it! I have a decent size apartment for them to explore, but am very careful not to leave items out that could cause any harm. I love cuddling up with pups and look forward to meeting you both! I generally work from home as a freelance creative, and am around most weekends, giving me ample time to play with and walk your pup. I have a decent sized apartment and little patio space where dogs can co-habitat and roam freely. I can crate if necessary as well. I clean regularly and am careful not to leave out items or food that may be chewed on or swallowed.

“Marketta was great with my 2 large boys! They always came back from their walks tired and happy! They tend to pull a bit and Marketta handled that with ease! Will definitely book with her in the future!”

About: I have always been a devoted animal lover and will treat your pet with an endless amount of care and devotion. I will provide utmost adaptability and trustworthiness, and rest assured that your fur friend's needs will always be met in my care! I am currently finishing my MFA program, so I have lots of time to dedicate towards your pups! My schedule is incredibly flexible, I can sit/walk any day including weekends. When caring for pets in their own homes, my priorities will always be on the security and comfortability of your pet. I am a very clean person, and will always leave little to no trace of myself once I leave your home.

About: I work for myself in the fashion photography industry and am a massive animal lover. I have had my own beautiful dogs and I love horseback riding and truly just spending as much time with animals as I can. I walk or run 3+ miles a day and love going on hikes near my house. I have a huge fenced in yard and lots of love to give to your sweet pets! I work in the creative world for myself so I make my own schedule and am home most days. I lost both of my dogs over the last year so have plenty of love and time to give to other fur babies! I have a lovely big fenced in yard and no other animals at my home. I live by myself and am comfortable having dogs in my bed if they prefer that or happy to accommodate a crate if needed. We spend most of the day outdoors.

About: I grew up with labs, rescue cats, and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. My goal is to make sure your dog (or cat) feels comfortable and at ease, allowing their playful personality to shine. I’m punctual, reliable, and I spend extra time playing with pets and meeting their needs. I’ve cared for dozens of friends’ cats and dogs, staying overnight in their homes, boarding pets at mine, or simply stopping by for walks and playtime. I’d love to help keep your fur baby happy while you’re away. 🩷 I work remote as a running coach and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets’ needs! If I were house sitting I could work from your home so your pet would get plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking. When I first meet your dog (or cat) I will let them sniff me and approach me at their own pace. I kneel down to their level and am super patient with the greeting process. If your pet is excitable I will be too! I can match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I also make sure to keep the environment peaceful and quiet, no loud music or noises. Sometimes I’ll sing to them to soothe them. 😂☺️

“Priscilla was great! She was responsive, timely, and very sweet to my dog.”

About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.
