“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.”

“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: 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 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.

I cannot recommend her enough for your animal care.”

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.
About: Dogs have been my life since I was 7 years old — that’s over 35 years of loving, caring for, and understanding what makes every dog tick. I own three incredible pups myself: two Pitties and a Doberman mix, so I know firsthand what big, energetic, loving dogs need to thrive. What truly sets me apart is that I volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with all breeds — from tiny dogs to large and powerful ones. I’m comfortable and confident with every size, temperament, and energy level because I’ve seen it all. Walking dogs isn’t just a service for me — it’s something I genuinely love. Your pup will get attentive, caring walks from someone who treats every dog like their own. I’m bonded, insured, and committed to giving your furry family member the best experience possible. Dog walking and pet care fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m available seven days a week with flexible morning, midday, and afternoon time slots. Whether you need a regular weekly walker or a one-time walk, I can work around your schedule and make it happen. Your dog’s safety is my absolute top priority on every single walk. I’m bonded and insured, so you have full peace of mind from the moment I pick up the leash. I walk in safe, familiar neighborhoods and keep dogs secure and controlled at all times — I handle big, powerful breeds every week at the shelter so no dog is too much for me. I send updates, photos, and check-ins during every walk so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog will be treated exactly like one of my own three.
About: I am an experienced pet care giver with a specialty in cat and dog care. I had dogs my whole life and I have gained experience through friends, family and referrals. My passion is animals, I have an intuitive nature of understanding dog behavior and providing the care and support that they need. I can assure you that your pet will receive a five start care. I am currently seeking more pet sitting opportunities while attending the Pepperdine MBA program. I am unemployed and have a flexible schedule. All requests are welcome! I am open to options that are most comfortable for the client. I can care for a dog in my home or at clients home. Pets can be very vulnerable to changes in their environment so this depends on the pets best interest.
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Hasan Farajov, 25 years old, a student who works from home and absolutely loves spending time outdoors. I believe dogs deserve more than just staying inside—so I love going on long walks and hikes with them, especially around Runyon Canyon, which is super close to my home. I truly enjoy creating fun, active, and loving experiences for every pup I care for. Hopefully, as you can see from my pictures, your dog and I will be a perfect match! I work part-time, so I have a lot of free time 👌 My schedule varies, and I set it myself 📆 I am almost always home ☺️ I live in a duplex with neighbors who have very friendly dog and a cat, so your pet can have a company. I have a backyard and live in a spacious house! 😻 Feel free to message me 📩 Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe and loving hands while you are away 🥰

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!

Ellie has been absolutely wonderful with our pup, Sadie! She was punctual, super communicative, and incredibly friendly.

Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
