About: I am a veteran pet care professional with over 15 years of experience caring for animals. In addition to in home daycare and boarding for dogs and cats, I also provide care for reptiles, fish and other loved friends! I am located in PACIFIC PALISADES. If you are returning to the area after the fires, look no further. My home is clean, soil tested, and fully safe for your animals. I have a great, fenced in back yard with plenty of sun and shade for your animal. A park trail is located directly behind the residence allowing for frequent, leashed walks in nature! Your pet will get the full VIP experience and will enjoy everything the Santa Monica Mountains has to offer! I love animals and care for each as it was my own. I have a smaller German Shephard and a Boston Terrier who love additional company, or I can keep your pets in separate areas with plenty of space! AN OUTDOOR LOVERS PARADISE IN THE PACIFIC PALISADES! I work from home and have the ability to provide regular and constant care for your animal. I love taking dogs for a walk on the park trail outside, or providing your reptile with an outdoor pool experience to cool off. Animals are what I love and how I like to spend my time! In my home, I give pets a calm and safe environment where they can relax and feel like part of the family. I have a fenced yard for dogs to play and get fresh air, and quiet spots indoors where cats or older pets can nap without stress. I stick to their usual routines—meals, walks, meds, bedtime—so they feel comfortable even while you're away. The outdoor space backs up to a park and trail, so your animals will have plenty of exercise and outdoor experience, if desired. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they’re used to. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you know how things are going.

“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”


About: I grew up with lots of animals. Well versed in pet care. Just looking to help out in anyway. Caretaking is not limited to dogs. I am not currently working so I have lots of free time. I will be starting a full time job in the fall, but will still be available for pet service. I will treat your pets how you want them to be treated. I love on the dogs in the household, but I can be assertive if needed.

About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. My family has had two of our own large dogs (Great Dane mix and German Shepherd mix) for their entire 14 year lives. I am extremely comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies requiring heavy supervision, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle walks, and extra comfort. I am a fully remote student at UCLA for this summer session, so I am available at all times of the day to provide pets with constant care and attention. When house sitting, your pet’s routine becomes my routine. I can structure my day around their walk times, feeding schedules, and playtime. My top priority is to maintain your pets routine. As an active person, I love incorporating fun adventures like hikes or trips to the dog beach, if that’s something your dog enjoys and you approve of. Throughout the day, I can provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can see how much fun your dog is having. As far as walks go, I can walk as long or as short as the dog needs, and I’m also happy to reinforce good behavior with treats / pets. I also provide treats and pets in all other scenarios.


“We highly recommend Oksana. We were nervous because we were leaving our cats for the first time, and they are very skitty kitties. But when we came home after our 6 day trip it was obvious they were well cared for. There was fresh water in their bowls, the litter was clean, and there was food in their dishes. They came to greet us right away, which shows us that they didn't feel abandoned in any way. Oksana's communication throughout our stay was prompt and direct - she checked in every day and posted photos for us to keep track. We felt very assured knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you, Oksana!”


“Aurelie was our first Rover experience and she was amazing! 2 animals to check on. She was always on time when she said she would be there. Communicated well. Shared photos. Had both of them out playing with her, animals can read good characters and when the cat immediately warmed up to her we knew she was the right fit. Will be rebooking for future trips. :) thanks Aurelie”


About: Hello! I’m Ellie and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised on a farm, where I began helping with the care of dogs, cats, and livestock from the age of five. That early experience taught me not only the responsibilities involved, but also the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve continued to work with a wide variety of animals—both on my family’s farm and those of friends and relatives. Today, I’m a proud pet owner myself, and I bring that same dedication and lifelong passion into every dog walk and pet care visit. When you choose me, you’re choosing someone with years of hands-on experience, a calm and attentive approach, and a genuine love for animals. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own pets. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet—I’d be happy to get to know you and your dog! I am currently in school online and looking for a part-time job hopefully online as well. I am available from Monday through Sunday to take care of your furry babies. I can do next day as well as same day walks and pet sitting(for same day please give me a 2 hour notice). Im available for short term boarding if it’s one pet, and long-term in your home for as many pets as you have. In my one-bedroom, one-bath home, I create a cozy and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. The space is clean, pet-friendly, and perfect for smaller pets or those who prefer a quieter setting. I also have a small front yard, which is great for supervised potty breaks and fresh air. Living in a pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking space nearby means dogs get regular, enriching walks in a calm, natural environment. Whether I’m offering boarding, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I always stick closely to each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions from their owner to ensure consistency and comfort. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect while giving their pets the attention, affection, and care they’re used to. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos to provide peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m Vicky! I love dogs, and miss having one of my own. I grew up with a cocker spaniel (Tigger!) who was with me from age 6 until I left for college. As an adult, I haven't made the leap to be a dog-owner myself (mostly because the places I've lived have been small and I sometimes travel), but I miss the company and cuddling. I work from home often, and have 2 roommates who work from home as well. Your dog will be safe, have a great time, and get filled up with so much love in our home. I also love to walk around this neighborhood, so if you need someone to spend a lot of time with the dog outside, I'm happy to do that :) My experience is training Tigger (although I’d prefer your dog to already be potty-trained) and taking care of him his whole life. I believe in positive reinforcement so that means no scolding and only sharing treats and love when he does the right thing!

Vicky A.

“I have four dogs and have worked with animals professionally for the majority of my life. It's rare that I trust someone else with my fur children. I was lucky enough to cross paths with Vicky, a fellow animal lover. Vicky showed my dogs care and respect. She didn't smoother them with unwanted attention, but rather took cues from them and paid attention to what made them comfortable and happy! I am so grateful to have a resource like Vicky when it comes to something as important as my fur babes.”
