About: As a lifelong animal lover from a family of animal lovers and with 13 years in animal rescue, I’m the person who always rescues animals in need, especially from high-kill shelters. Pets are family to me. After my two babies passed, I now professionally sit and foster. I believe each pet has a unique spirit, and I’d love to meet yours. I also practice animal communication and healing, helping pets feel less anxious. Alongside my rescue work, I run a trauma healing and mental health non-profit, creating programs to help individuals heal and reclaim their lives. I’m a writer, work from home, and am passionate about holistic health, music, travel, and nature. Your pets will receive compassionate care from someone who truly loves and understands them. I have animal friends from all over the world. I work from home and at my own schedule. Flexible availability any time or day of the week. I will do whatever is expected to make your animal feel safe, appreciated; and in their routine. Each animal has different needs and I respect this while having a strong knowledge of animal behavior.
“Justina is fantastic! I have three rescues, medium sized, who are strong willed. Justina was able to make a quick connection with all three, overcoming anxiety and caution is my spoiled dogs. She easily handled them on an hour long walk, understanding their preferences and patterns and managing their behavior. I think she has a gift in connecting with animals, and I feel fortunate to have found her. She is also good with overindulgent dogs parents.”

Treat animals like I treat my children with love, kindness, fun, safety and structure. 6 years of professional large pack mountain hiking. I am a professional dog walker and mom.

“Aurelie agreed to walk Zumi on super short notice. From the pictures, Zumi seems to have loved her! She fed her and made sure to give her the probiotics she needed. Aurelie was a lifesaver!”
About: I grew up with multiple pets and trained my own dogs. I’ve also done house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting, so I’m reliable and comfortable caring for others’ homes and pets. I’m great with big dogs, love staying active, and enjoy giving dogs plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I'm currently a college student, and would be able to care for dogs before and between classes. I am available on weekends and have a couple off days throughout the week. I am very active and would love taking your pet on walks, hikes, runs, playing in the yard, or inside! I am very comfortable taking dogs in/out for potty, feeding meals, and placing them in crates if needed.
About: Taking care of any type of dog is something that I always look forward to doing, and I have been doing it for friends, family, and more for most of my life. I am mostly focusing on school, but when I am free, spending time with dogs is something that I have always been interested in. I want to do something that I enjoy instead of a boring, behind the counter job. At my house, my whole front yard is gated, and has a grass area that is perfect for any type of dog, no matter the size. I am perfectly fine at following instructions given by the owner that will best benefit the dog while he/she is my responsibility.
About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.

“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been caring for pets for years, building a network of happy clients through neighbors, family friends, and word of mouth. Dogs, cats, puppies, seniors — I’ve done it all, from quick drop-ins to six-month house sits. Whatever your pet needs, I show up with a full heart, active energy and a real routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I pride myself on being someone pet owners can truly trust. During the LA wildfires, I was house sitting near the evacuation zones when I made the call to safely pack up my client’s pets and their most precious belongings and get out, keeping everyone and everything safe until they could come home. That’s the kind of sitter I am: calm, present, and completely committed. I genuinely love this work. Waking up with a dog to walk, taking them out on hikes through the hills, spending the day giving them cuddles and all the attention they deserve, it truly fills my cup. Your pets won’t just be cared for, they’ll be showered with joy and mirth! Based in the Woodland Hills and Topanga area, available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. Pet care is woven into my daily life naturally and genuinely. I keep an open, flexible schedule which means I’m truly present with the animals in my care — mornings start with walks and feeding routines, days are filled with playtime, cuddles and attention, and evenings wind down with the kind of calm, settled care that helps pets feel secure. I don’t rush off to a nine to five. I’m here, and your pet feels that. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are everything to me. In my own space, I live with my cat Milo and keep a calm, cozy, pet friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. A partner is often home as well, so your pet always has loving company and is never left alone for long. The Topanga and Woodland Hills area means we’re surrounded by nature with beautiful trails and open space right at our doorstep for walks, hikes and outdoor adventures. In your home I adapt completely to your pet’s existing routine, environment and needs. I learn their habits, respect their space and follow your instructions carefully. I treat every home I work in as if it were my own - with attentiveness, care and a deep sense of responsibility. Your pet, your home and everything you love will be looked after with the same devotion I bring to my own.
About: I love all kinds of animals and have had experience handling all kinds of them from iguanas to Maine coone cats. I’ve had experience caring for Pomeranians, miniature pinschers, and more. I am great at making animals feel safe and comfortable. I work part time but I manage my own schedule so I can most likely work around your schedule as long as you let me know in advance when you’d like me to care for your pet! I prefer to watch pets in my clients home or take them for walks around their neighborhood as this is likely where your pet will feel safest. Instructions specific to your pet are encouraged.
About: I love dogs and cats. Happy to care for them in your home or on walks or playdates. They have their own personalities and that is so precious. I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies. It depends on the schedule, but sometimes I work from home so my schedule can be open. Lunch hours are flexible for me, so that is a good daily time for me to do walks and playdates and looking in on cats. I can be flexible about where and when I provide services, but I do need to get some information about clients and their neighborhood before I accept new clients. I will be asking some questions for my own personal comfort and safety. I will do at home visits, in hotel visits, walks, playdates, and at home house-sitting. I will not have pet care in my home as a service. If you live in LA or you are here on vacation, I am here for your dog so you can take a break for work or a social event or a massage or shopping.

As I have said on previous reviews, I can’t imagine anyone will ever find anyone as great as Kendyl, we are unfortunately going to need to start decreasing our schedule because my work situation is changing— but will continue to request for Kendyl whenEVER we need Riley coverage!
Andrea and Michael are just so wonderful. I have had some really bad experiences in the past but they are just incredible. When they boarded my dog for a couple for a couple of days, she was literally sleeping with them in their bed .. They loved her like she was their own. ( Which meant everything after the negative experiences I have had.) They're just so and loving and Andrea could walk for miles and miles !I I don't know how she does it for all the walks, but she's in tiptop shape lol. We could not ask for a better care takers of my beautiful honey beast and we are leaving her soon with them for a week and the only reason I feel comfortable leaving my dog for that time is because of them. Otherwise, I would not leave my dog with anyone else.
Ellie has been absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sadie! She was punctual, super communicative, and incredibly friendly. I really appreciated how mindful she was of Sadie’s well-being during the hot summer days—going above and beyond to make sure she stayed safe and comfortable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dog walker! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
