“Nicola has been reliable, communicative, kind, and flexible. He is so patient with our pup and she very much looks forward to each and every walk. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

“I recently started a new job that requires long hours. I was nervous thinking about my almost 2 yr old fur baby being alone for so long. After searching numerous sitters, I found Mry and she had countless positive reviews. I decided to reach out and I am so glad I did. Mry comes to my home twice per week to walk my dog. She is so attentive and caring to our fur baby. She is also very accommodating and flexible so if I need to add another day last minute, there has been no issue. She is also very reliable when it comes to not only the safety of my dog but also our home. By chance, my father arrived at our house to visit earlier than expected and it was at the time Mry was walking our dog. She politely informed him that she could not let him in as this was not her home but he was more than welcome to use the provided lock box to prove he was not a stranger! She has been in constant communication with us and sends us immediate feedback after the walk with pictures. She also works on training with our dog and reinforcing certain commands. I can 1000000% recommend Mry to ANYONE who needs their fur baby looked after. She is truly amazing and I have had nothing but great experiences with her.”

About: My name is Natalie and I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up always having multiple paw pals present, whether it be sitting, walking, and boarding. I love them and they love me. I have a French Bulldog, a Great Dane, and St. Bernard at home, currently. I love all animals and care for them like they are my own. I am super excited to get a chance to walk your best friends and meet a ton of new dogs. I can walk with your dogs of all sizes and breeds and ages. I can also board, daycare or drop in for dogs if needed. I’ve had my fair share of dogs and will care for them as needed and instructed by pet parents.
About: Hi, I’m Sofia—I’m currently working from home as a graphic designer. I’m a life-long dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and great with shy or cautious animals. I’ll make sure your furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus—I’m also an illustrator, so let me know and I can draw your pet as a little keepsake! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I have a flexible schedule to be there for your pets! I’m happy to accommodate and discuss how I can be of service. I follow your home’s rules and your pet’s care instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and you feel confident. I always double-check gates, locks, and am extra careful when opening doors. I keep a close eye on curious noses and paws—whether that means keeping terriers out of the trash or making sure no one snacks on mystery items during walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!
About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.
About: I have a very flexible schedule so am able to accomodate your specific needs! I grew up with pets my whole life including a Yorkie, German Shepard, and a few cats. I trained the dogs myself and they know intermediate commands and are well behaved. My yorkie is older now, but I grew up dog sitting for family and have experience with older dogs. Both are my dogs are female and I experienced them through "heat" before they were spayed. My cat also had kittens and we kepts a couple so I have experience with cats all ages. I am accustomed to all breeds of all ages! I have a remote job with a very flexible schedule. I am also active and frequently go on walks by the parks and nature trails near me. A pet fits right into my life! The only reason I do not have a pet now is because I recently moved to California and want to get adjusted before taking on the full responsibility. I have a spacious, clean apartment and am able to accommodate for individual pets needs. I have a park I can easily take for walks. For others homes I will follow your instructions! How to care for you pet and if sitting any specific instructions!
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Kim is so wonderful!! We know our Coco is in terrific hands with her! Kim asked a lot a really great questions during our meet and greet and spent a lot of time going over all of Coco’s care, including oral medication. We will certainly be repeat customers. Thank you, Kim! 🐾💕🦮”


About: Hi! I’m Linda, a dependable and caring dog walker who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have over 12 years of experience as a caregiver, where patience, responsibility, safety, and following routines have always been important. I’m also CPR certified and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s individual needs. I love being outdoors and would enjoy giving your dog a safe and enjoyable walk where they can get some exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m currently focusing on dog walking and starting with small and medium-sized dogs as I continue to build experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, as I personally have a senior Chihuahua who I’ve had since 2011. Having cared for my own senior dog over the years, I understand that older pets may need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little more attention to their comfort and needs. You can expect good communication, punctuality, and updates after your dogs walk. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with kindness and attention while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m a stay-at-home mom, and my children are currently in school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day. Dog walking is a great way for me to stay active, busy, and spend time with dogs, which I really enjoy. I currently offer dog walking only. During each walk, I’ll make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me.

“I just moved to LA this past month. I am beyond happy I met Zoey! She has been a total hero to me during this stressful time. A weight has been lifted knowing that my two pups are in such trustful hands! My dogs are VERY high energy and Zoey knows how to handle them. She really goes the extra mile (pun intended). Forever grateful to her! I cannot recommend her enough :)”

About: Hello, I have been rescuing dogs and training dogs since I was a child. I guess you could say I love dogs more than people. I currently have an adorable 12 year old Maltipoo rescue, and a 1 year old “foster fail” poodle/yorkie/chihuahua mix. I have dogsat for several people in the past, and have two families I dog and house sit for on a normal basis. I also foster for a local small dog rescue “Tobie’s Small Dog Rescue”, and have had more than 60 fosters through them. I love animals more than people to be honest. My pups are loving and sweet and they love to make new friends, and will love your pup. I love animals, and would love the opportunity to watch your little loved one. Rest assured, if you book through me, your fur baby will always be safe, loved and cared for. Giving you peace of mind.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for my own dog as well as dog sitting for friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable person, and when your dog is with me, I treat them like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks or is more laid-back and enjoys relaxing, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons and can easily work pet care into my daily routine.

I follow the owner’s instructions and routines closely and always make sure the home is secure when I leave.

We absolutely love having Bailey as our dog walker! She’s incredibly reliable, patient, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. One of our pups can be a little more challenging, and she has always been so understanding and kind with him. One of my favorite parts is the detailed updates she sends after every walk. They’re thoughtful, funny, and always make me smile—it feels like I get to experience a little piece of their adventure together. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Francisco was great! He is reliable and he is great with dogs! He communicates well and sends pictures of our dogs who always look happy and exercised from their walks. We would definitely reach out to him again! I highly recommend Francisco for your pet caring and dog walking needs.

Lucia is the best! She was amazing with our dog Whiskey on his walk and a total gem for us, too, keeping her cool even though I’d accidentally armed our alarm and it set off on her (whoops). Whiskey’s walk was beautifully documented and his big smile in the photos says it all! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I worked with Cody as a dog walker. He handled my very large dog, who can be a bit reactive, with patience, confidence, and real skill. It’s clear he understands dogs and takes safety seriously. I feel much more at ease knowing my dog is in such capable hands. Highly recommend and will continue to use Cody in the future!
