“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”

“Cassidy took care of Leila wonderfully. She replied quickly to my messages, was flexible in meeting me and worked to make me feel better about leaving Leila. She sent a a pic during the day to she Leila was calm during the day. I’ll definitely use her again.”


“Elaine is the best! My dog has been doing boarding and daycare with Elaine and her family for over a year now and we feel so comfortable with them. My pup is always so excited when we pull up and we practically have to drag him away at pick up! He comes home tired and happy and has never shown any signs of stress or discomfort at all. They send tons of pictures and some videos throughout the day so we can see how much fun he's having, which is a huge plus for me. Elaine is always our first choice for his care and it's a huge blessing to have that peace of mind when we're traveling. Thank you, Elaine!”


“She’s Awesome!! Hiromi took care of my buttercup she’s super friendly, accommodating, and makes sure to send updates every few hours. I had no worries! Thanks Hiromi? Buttercup will be back! ??”


About: I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was 4yrs old. I started getting educated on animals at a young age and knew my dream was to work with animals. I started my professional career in the industry in 2017. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year, then moved on to a facility for dogs and cats, which I’ve worked at since 2018. Over the years at these facilities, I’ve learned about proper care, training and grooming techniques for dogs, and care for cats. I have plenty of experience working with different breeds of dogs from the smallest teacup poodle, to the chunkiest bulldog, to the biggest Great Dane. I’ve worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities in large daycare groups, so I’ve learned how to manage different demeanors in different settings. With cats, I understand their boundaries and don’t like to force any interaction on them, but if they are comfortable with it I give them lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. At the shelter, I focused on learning how to properly care for rodents and cats. *I don’t discriminate against any pet’s breed, size, age, medical condition, etc. I treat them all with the best care.* **I am able to dispense oral medication to pets if necessary. I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO GIVE INJECTION (NEEDLE INVOLVED) MEDICATION** I work in Gardena in the afternoon-evening Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I tend to stay local when running errands. My apartment is gated and a code or key is needed to enter the premises. We have a large grass area right out front, which is not gated. There’s plenty of grass and parks in the neighborhood to go to during walks. My apartment is on the second floor with the luxury of having the parking garage underneath me, so your pet running around the house won’t disturb anyone! I stay alert and aware of my surroundings at all times for safety purposes. I have multiple rooms and gates to separate pets when necessary (feeding, bedtime, rest breaks…etc.) My pets are flea treated regularly and stay up to date on their vaccines. **IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW!!! In order to keep my home a healthy and clean environment for all, IF PETS ARRIVE WITH FLEAS I require a $50-$100 cleaning fee AND a flea bath may apply with a MINIMUM charge of $38/pet bathed. I HIGHLY recommend flea treatments and checking your pets for fleas BEFOREHAND to avoid additional charges. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet causes any damages to my property there will be a MINIMUM charge of $25 for repairs/replacements.**

Whether it’s epic walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I’ll make sure your furry BFF feels safe, spoiled, and totally at home while you’re away. I’ll send so many photos of your dog, you’ll wonder if I secretly turned them into a full-time model. 🐾 I work from home, so your pet gets my VIP (very important pet) attention morning, noon, night, and even on weekends. Basically, I’m their new best friend! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with regular meals, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection, ensuring they feel happy, at home, and loved.

“Jane took such great care of Merp! When we went to pick him up he was so happy and didn’t even want to leave! He had so much fun with Jane and her pups, he was so worn out! It’s so nice knowing such a sweet person is taking such great care of your dog while you’re away! I would definitely recommend Jane to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: Growing up, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for and owning a variety of animals. From dogs to birds, hamsters to reptiles, my love for animals has been infinite. My brother is a Veterinarian so compassion and care run in my family. I’ve had personal experience in training puppies and even administering medications to special needs dogs. What sets me apart from other sitters I think, is my personality, I’m not easily intimidated and how fast I can connect with your fur baby. Evening are normally always open for me to give walks, runs, or play time to your pet. My weekends are almost always open as well, making it perfect for those getaways you’ve been planning but haven’t because the need for a loving sitter. Care is solely based on your pets daily routines/needs. Im here to step in and maintain their routine while you are away. That includes play time, snuggles, special diets and even T continued training if needed.


About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.
