About: For the past seven years, I’ve had the good fortune of sharing life with my fox red Labrador retriever. He has traveled with me through Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, New Jersey, and now California. Along the way, I learned that dogs do not need perfection from us. They need patience, consistency, exercise, and someone they can trust. My approach is influenced by Stonnie Dennis and his belief that a good dog is developed through calm leadership, clear expectations, real-world experiences, and plenty of worthwhile adventure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m comfortable reinforcing established commands, leash manners, household rules, and daily routines. I believe dogs learn best when they are engaged, treated fairly, and given the chance to explore the world with confidence. When I care for someone’s dog, I try to give them what I would want for my own: a steady hand, a good walk, some play, and the feeling that everything is all right until their person comes home. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a regular part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m comfortable adjusting to each pet’s routine and can usually accommodate both planned bookings and last-minute needs. Whether your dog needs an early walk, company during the day, or someone dependable while you are away, I’m ready to help. I believe trust begins with respecting a pet’s normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, use a leash whenever required, and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and household rules are handled exactly as requested. I also treat the home itself with care and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, introductions are handled slowly and calmly, especially around my own Labrador. I supervise interactions, give each dog space when needed, and never force play or attention. My goal is to create a steady, comfortable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for until their family returns.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. For the past two years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of my rescue cat, Duckie. Since adopting her, I’ve learned how important patience, routine, and attentive care are, and I’m committed to making sure she stays happy, healthy, and loved every day. I’ve also helped care for my friends’ pets over the years. I regularly walked a friend’s poodle, making sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. In addition, I’ve house sat for friends with cats, caring for their daily routines by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving them lots of affection while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a flexible schedule. Since I can work from just about anywhere with my laptop, I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day while maintaining my work responsibilities. This flexibility also makes weekday house sitting a great option for me. On weekends, I’m available for both full-day and part-time care, giving me even more time to focus on your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I understand that every family has a different schedule, so I’m happy to work with you to find a care plan that fits your routine while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My priority is to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Before each visit or house sit, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special care instructions. Whether your pet needs medication, a bath, extra exercise, playtime, or simply a calm companion, I’ll follow your care plan closely and make sure their needs are met with patience and care. I’m attentive to the little details that can make a big difference in your pet’s well-being. I’ll keep an eye on their appetite, water intake, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall behavior, and I’ll communicate any changes or concerns right away. I believe consistent updates, photos, and open communication help give pet parents peace of mind, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and following any household instructions you’ve provided. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, healthy pet and the confidence that they received thoughtful, dependable care every step of the way.

“Eric did an amazing job looking after my 8 month kitten when I was going away for holiday for 2 weeks. I had travel logistics that made handing off the keys a little bit difficult, but Eric was super flexible and responsive which made the whole experience very smooth. He is great with cats and got along with Callie immediately. The home was in great condition when I came back as well. If you are looking for a responsible sitter for your pet, look no further than Eric! He even brought over some toys for her to play with that he let us keep afterwards. 100/100!”

“Brendon was great with our puppy. The updates had cute pictures and always included a nice note about his visit. He was always on time and was a wonderful with our dog.”

David D.

“Karen is very nice and easy to work with. Our dogs quickly warmed up to her, which isn’t always the case with new people around our dogs. She was also great at being understanding that our dogs were dog aggressive, and seemed very capable in handling it. During her visit she had great communication.”

Jose D.

About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I have grown up with dogs and have two loving cats now, I understand how hard it can be to make sure they are cared for when you are not available. I can be flexible with my rates depending on your situation. I love taking pictures so expect plenty of updates! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I have a notice of any changes, additions, cancellations, I will likely not have an issue tending to any pets. Since I have cats of my own I do not plan on hosting other pets in my home. I would care for any clients pets by making sure that they are kept on a routine.

“Minh was awesome and I will absolutely be booking her again! Ahead of the house visit she did a meet and greet with Rey and she asked very thoughtful questions. Her thoroughness put my helicopter mom brain at ease. She was prompt, sent pics and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey there! We're Tom and Sharanya. We're dog lovers and lifelong caretakers of our families' pets. Our adorable dog Zoe is Chihuahua/Spaniel rescue with anxiety. We understand the unique challenges that come with anxiety-prone dogs, and Zoe has taught us valuable lessons in patience, empathy, and creating a calm and soothing environment. If you have a dog with a similar temperament, we'll be sure to accommodate them. Both of us work from home, though one of us may occasionally go into the office. Even so, there will always be someone at home to look after your dog. We ensure daily walks and engaging activities to keep dogs happy and active - just let us know your dog’s walking schedule and we will stick to it as best we can! We can also administer oral medicine as our own dog needs to take a daily pill. In our care, every dog is treated as a cherished member of our family. We take the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a personalized and loving experience. We will always go the extra mile to make sure your fur baby is getting the affection and care that they need.

“Jordan is great with our high energy pups!!”

About: Hey, I'm Nicky. Growing up as a farm kid, I've cared for all animals, especially various dog breeds big and small my entire life. Wife and I, live in Silver Lake as the proud pup parents of 2 adorable poodles. I work from home and my schedule is open and flexible, so your pet is my number one priority during their 5 star stay at Dog's Best Friend. We've been boarding happy dogs with Rover since 2022 and 10 years before that we boarded, dropped-in and walked doggie clients all around the TMZ. Available 24/7, for essential meet and greets with your doggie. Available 24/7, for doggie drop-offs and pick-ups. Our spacious backyard allows us to be very active daily and big enough to welcome all our doggie guests, any size, any energy level, I love them all. When we all snuggle up to chill after an active doggie day, your fur babies will have plenty of their own space, their own room when they want it and multiple comfortable sleep options, including their own dog bed or our snuggly couch all night if they like. Nothing brings me more joy than caring for all our loving furry friends. I live for their love and as Timothy Treadwell said, "I will die for these bears." In my care, they get everything they need, nothing they can't have and all the love they can handle with my undivided attention day and night. I'm always available to give your fur babies the best care they can get and love them like my own, so fear not, Dog's Best Friend is your baby’s home away from home! I am usually booked with loyal distinguished clients daily, so when your dog books a stay with us, they will be kept totally separate from the pack until they've all calmed down enough to meet. That way we can be absolutely sure there will be no issues between them. Even as they meet and greet, they will be separated by our tall interior doggie gate and introduced slowly and methodically. We've never had an issue with pet aggression between our doggies and clients and this process ensures stranger dogs become friends because we always set them up to win! You can trust your pet is safe here and always welcomed by our pack! Beware, your pup may not want to leave Dog's Best Friend! "Nickolas was the best Rover I have ever booked!!! I just know my dog was so well taken care of and loved as if she was his own dog. She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up. Nickolas was constantly playing ball with her, giving her tummy rubs, and taking her running. He sent me so many pictures and videos so I always knew what Poppy was up to. I will absolutely be booking with Nickolas again." -Maya H. I’m a 24/7 caregiver, best friend, provider, poodle whisperer and round-up specialist to our super chill senior Poodle Kai and our young rambunctious Maltipoo Rocco. From this veteran dog lover, your furry besties will absolutely get a healthy abundance of compassionate, unconditional love. It's as simple as that. As a work from home musician and entertainment business owner, my independent schedule gives me the flexibility to care for all of our furry baby boys and girls around the clock. Our spacious fenced backyard is where we get all the pups running around safely with balls toys and treats of course. In the summer heat we'll fill the shallow doggie pool to cool down. Silver Lake Reservoir Park is close by, so the size and energy of your dog will determine the workout we can do. As an active long distance track and cross country runner through college and since, I can match any dog’s activity level. I depend on you to tell me what you’d like your dog to experience during their active luxurious stay. They'll get what they need but I'll never over work them. We have enough room and plenty of toys to play inside or out and plenty of doggie space and couch seating for that ever important doggie rest, which they'll get plenty of too!
