Pet Sitting Echo Park

About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.

About: I have a 12-year-old westie who's been my best friend since I got him as a puppy. I've been through every stage of dog-caring, and will love your small pup like they're my own. I'm currently laid off and job-searching, so I have plenty of time to keep your pet company or stop by for walks or potty breaks. I live in a nice apartment complex downtown that's very dog-friendly. Plenty of spots for peeing, sniffing, and walking, and my place is cozy and spacious with big windows for patrolling.

“Rebekah was great! She sent detailed updates, photos and videos while I was away. My cars are usually scared of strangers but they warmed up to her after only one day! Have already booked her again. Highly recommend!”

“Sabrina is great with my cat! She’s super patient and thoughtful with my cat and took time to really earn my cat’s trust. Sabrina also is really responsive and provides very detailed report cards and photos. I will definitely book with her again!”

“I really appreciate the care and consistency he shows with my dog. Taking her out every day makes such a difference, and I can tell my dog is happier and more relaxed because of it. They’re reliable, attentive, and clearly love what they do. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.”

“I'm so glad we found Minay!! She is such a gem of a person and has such a lovely warmth about her. My dogs and the rest of my family clicked instantly with her. She goes above and beyond, you can completely trust that your loved ones are in great hands.”

“Jessica was wonderful with Rowan 🤍 Communicative, reliable, and very sweet with him. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Would absolutely book with her again!”

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.

“Yasmin is amazing! I felt so comfortable being away with my dogs in her care. I received great updates with each drop-in. She’s a great communicator and I would not hesitate to hire her!”

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.

About: As an owner of a big, powerful dog I know it can be difficult finding a walker who can handle their size and avoid unsafe situations. So if you have a large breed friend who requires a strong leader, I’d love to take them for a walk, safely! Freelance film maker with a lot of free time. I’m available during the week and on weekends. I have a dog but would walk your dog(s) separately. I have a large friendly dog named Rudi. I can board your dog as long as they can meet beforehand to make sure they get along. I have a large fenced in back yard as well as a good size, private porch area. We live in echo park with plenty of dog friendly areas and parks.

“Ariane is wonderful! She was able to get my shy little kitty out and playing. She also braved giving her a dose of medicine (that my cat hates) and passed on helpful tips from her pet experience. looking forward to having her back in the future!”

About: I take care of your pet like they’re my own! Animals are the most important thing in my life. I'd do anything for my dog, but truthfully, I'd do anything for any dog! I’m caring, considerate, and clean. After about 7 years of professionally dog and cat sitting, I got my own Quarantine Dog. I will take care of your pets with love and mindfulness- following any requests you may have! Walks, runs and playtime. Snuggles, cuddles and comfort. Need medicine administrated? I'm good at that, too! Have issues with reactivity or food guarding? Just an anxious dog overall? Trust me, I'm very familiar. No judgement here! Although I'm not a trainer, I've dealt with these issues with my own dog, as well as others. I know how to handle these needs with care, for the comfort and safety for everyone in involved. Is your baby just a little quirky, maybe? If you need their paws wiped down after every walk, imaginary food sprinkled in their bowl to eat, or needs classical music to fall asleep? I can definitely handle that! I would love to be your best friends caretaker. My schedule is very flexible. I like to dedicate as much time as possible to my pet clients, and typically try to keep one client at a time for maximum attention. I do not provide home boarding, but I am happy to take care of your pup in your own home. I keep a very clean space and respect house rules easily. Taking care of the dog in your home is important so they feel at home.

“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!”

“My father suffered from a heart attack across the country and my initial plan to care for my Savannah fell through less than 20 hrs before I was to take off. I gravitated to Christopher because of his reviews regarding attention. Savannah is a 90lb pitbull but is my child and treated as such so it was very important to find someone attentive. I was so nervous because we have never been away from each other more than 12 hrs. Christopher from the start made what I thought was going to be hrs of searching and scrambling into the smoothest process. We were unable to meet before hand due to the circumstance but I am sooooo happy I choose Christopher. Savannah was well taken care of, I received photos, communication was on point and I came back to a happy girl!! Christopher, I look forward to meeting you face to face in the future. I feel I can definitely go back home more often because I have someone that can be trusted and safe to care for my child. My family and I are so grateful someone was able to take such good care of her while I was away. Again, thank you so much for everything!”

“Jessica took incredible care of our fur babies. She followed instructions and the schedule to a T, and our girls were very happy and well taken care of when we came home. Cannot thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind to know they were under her care while we were out of town. Definitely recommend and will. work with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I love taking long walks around the city so having a furry companion with me is a great bonus, and for the older sleepier pets I am happy to spend a night sitting with them and am experienced in administering oral medications. I always make sure to take lots of great photos of your pets while I’m caring for them. I’m currently working freelance so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. Happy to pet sit any day of the week or check in on pets throughout the day. Though always please check my calendar for updated availability. I can’t take care of pets at my place because I share my house but I’m happy to take care of your dogs at your house, having done it for years with my own animals and others. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or chill and cuddly I am ready to meet them where they are at. Of course I will make sure they are fed, watered, and have any medication they may need.

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!
