“JoAnne did an amazing job caring for our little dog Callie. She gave great updates, photos and I could tell she was taking very good care of our shy skittish dog by hearing how they interacted and food, walk, play, nap updates. Since our dog didn’t do well at the pet hotel, we were very reassured knowing she was getting great care and attention from JoAnne.”


“Joshua was a great dog sitter. He was professional, respectful, reliable, and communicative. He came over for a meet and greet and was right on time. He gave me helpful updates the whole time and was always courteous in communication. Highly recommend and would book again.”


“If possible I will use Allen again! This is the first time I've left my dogs with a stranger and it was a great experience for them and me. Allen sent videos and pictures every day. We were gone for a week and when we returned he'd washed the sheets and vacuumed the house. It was a joy to return home!”


About: I’m a college graduate from the University of Southern California who specializes in dog walking and in-home sitting. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or overnight care, I give each dog my full attention and care. I'm reliable, and always follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. Your dog will enjoy personalized care, daily exercise, and plenty of affection. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of time on my hands. I have very flexible hours right now and would be willing to work with your dogs schedule. I’ll walk your dog around your neighborhood or drive them to parks and trails for fun, active walks they’ll love. I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

“She is the best! My sensitive dog with separation anxiety loves her. She was sooo excited to see Pearl again. My cat of course loves Pearl as well. I am so grateful for all the love and care Pearl provides to my babies.”


“Donny took care of daily walks and overnights for my pup while I was on a work trip. I got lots of updates and pictures. He took great care of the house and I wasn’t worried about Rexy at all!”


“Elaine is the best! I was worried about leaving our girls to go on vacation. Them being rescues, I thought they might feel like we left them. Elaine was so good with them, pictures every day, constant feedback and very loving care. She's the best!! The girls love her and can't wait for us to go on vacation again. Thank you Elaine”


“Tammie was timely and communicative. She followed all instructions and sent me many updates and photos of Leidy. She has experience with taking care of her own senior dog so she understood that Leidy needs some extra attention in some aspects of her care. She left my home clean and tidy. Would definitely book with her again :)”



“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our dogs! She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures. She also took our dog to the groomer which was great. We would definitely hire her again!”


“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”


“Hannah stayed with our 3 dogs for 6 nights and we came home to healthy, happy dogs and our house in the same condition we left it in. Hannah sent regular updates and asked questions as needed. We were able to relax and feel confident our pets were getting the care and attention they deserved. Thank you, Hannah!”


About: I’ve been around animals since I was born! Dogs, horses, sheep and cats! I’ve always had a passion for animals and will treat yours as if it were my own! I currently work full time as an RDA (Dental Assistant), but have two kids in college. I love to walk @ 4 miles a few times a week and would love to spend time exercising the gentle furry souls! I’d make sure they get enough love and attention, make sure they were comfortable in their environment and at ease, also that they have enough food and water, playtime in the backyard and walks.

“Kainoa was wonderful! Our dog Piper absolutely loved him and warmed up to him right away. She got many walks & he checked in & communicated with me about her daily, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to keep Piper at home where she’s happiest with someone and we could completely trust! Can’t recommend Kainoa enough.”


About: I have experience communicating and living with dogs, cats and birds. I see the needs and mood of animals well. I have experience in caring for puppies and kittens. I taught my 2 cats commands (paw, sit and place). I have a higher medical education (human medicine) and can prepare to care for any pet if necessary. I am currently not working and I have flexible schedule. I will be able to devote a lot of time to take care of your pet. My home is secure, plus there is a large fully fenced back yard for off-leash walks, active play, and outdoor lounging. If you have any questions- just ask me.

About: I specialize in taking care of cats. I’ve had cats as pets since I was six. I have minimal experience looking after dogs but am capable of doing so. I work part time at a local remand am doing an internship two days a week. I am taking classes online and will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I keep my cats indoors but have looked after indoor/outdoor cats. I can provide whatever type of care you want for your pets in your home.

About: Greetings! My name is Desiree, and I eagerly anticipate meeting your beloved pets. I am currently a full-time student pursuing a career as a Vet Assistant and Vet Tech. My dedication lies in providing care for animals of all sizes. I possess many years of experience living with both cats and dogs. Our household includes three rescued dachshunds, two of whom are seniors and one is a young pup, all of whom play a significant role in our lives. I am actively involved in volunteering at the Santa Monica and Los Angeles Animal Shelters. I dedicate a considerable amount of my time to forming bonds with dogs and cats, preparing them for their forever homes. I take great pleasure in spending ample time with them. I maintain a demanding school schedule; however, it is also quite flexible. I work part-time from Friday to Sunday during the late afternoons and evenings, and I typically have no difficulty in coordinating times that align with your animals' schedule. Over the past year, I have dedicated my studies to animal behavior, and I take pride in being responsible and protective towards every animal. I will care for your dog or cat as if it were my own. Additionally, I hold certifications in First Aid and Pet CPR from Animal Behavior College.
