About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, detail-oriented approach and years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from playful poodle mixes to large breeds like black labs, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy or providing patient care for an older pet, I adapt to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their routine. Additionally, I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own—handling tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and managing trash day. Clients trust me not just because I care for their pets, but because I’m dependable, responsive, and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right. I'm currently free majority of the time, weekdays and weekends. I do partake in tutoring services along with taking care of pets as well, but my schedule is flexible with all of those occurring. I will be a bit more busy when school starts up for me, but can still manage all responsibilites. I primarily care for pets in the comfort of their own home, as this helps them feel more relaxed and maintain their regular routines. While staying at a client’s home, I make sure to follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), walk times, and play routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation to keep them happy and calm while their owners are away. In addition to caring for pets, I keep the home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and take out the trash as needed. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well looked after, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had dogs in my house for my entire life, as well as being hired to dog sit for friends and family while they are out of town. I love and work well with all kinds of dogs. As a college student, being away from my pets at home gives me a lot more love and appreciation for when I do get to spend time with animals of any kind. School is my top priority, but my schedule is fairly flexible for the times I am available. I am available most weekends and early weekday mornings and nights. I care for pets in the client's home, however they wish for me to. I try to keep the pet on as steady a routine as I can, so they feel safe and comfortable around me.

I will be willing to provide my business address and contact information to make you feel more comfortable, know I am trustworthy, and know where you can find me if any issues arise.

About: Hanging out with dogs brings me so much joy. I was a dog walker in my 20s, and now I’m a mom of two kids and one sweet pup and genuinely love being around animals. What sets me apart is my mix of experience and calm, reliable mom energy. I’m active, patient, attentive, and great at reading a dog’s needs — whether that’s extra playtime, a slower pace, or a little reassurance. I’ve worked with puppies who need structure and consistency, and I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who move at their own speed. I’m also experienced with basic training reinforcement, giving meds, and keeping routines steady so pets feel secure. Your dog will be treated like part of the family — safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm a freelance writer and work from home, so my schedule is very calm and flexible. My kids are in school and only with me 50 percent of the time. I'm very active and go on long walks every day, with or without dogs. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to play, relax, and explore, with plenty of attention and walks to keep them happy. I make sure all interactions are supervised, feeding schedules are followed, and any special needs or medications are carefully managed. When visiting a client’s home, I respect your space while maintaining the same high level of care by letting dogs out on schedule and providing exercise and loving companionship.
About: Watching other people’s fur babies while I work seemed like the perfect way for an animal lover to keep up with the cost of living in LA! I am here mostly for the chance to cuddle other people’s wonderful adorable pets and tell each and everyone that they are the cutest in the world (as long as they don’t tell my cat I said so)!!! Feel free to say hi and ask any questions you have! I work from home so I’m free to hang out with the fur babies pretty much all day while I work. And if you need someone last minute or even same day if I am a good bet. I’m not sure what else to say but this thing has a minimum word requirement so I’m just going to : ruff ruff meowwwwww. (Don’t read that allowed to the dogs. I probably just said some very bad words on accident. I was taught by my cat and my dog accent is terrible.) My boyfriend and I are both tour guides so we are usually scheduled opposite days so there is always someone home with any visiting fur babies. Care depends on needs of the pet as they usually have varying level of needs depending on their temperaments and beds. I like to give them a safe space and distance if they are shy or all the cuddles if they are cuddly or lots of activity if they have the zoomies and energy.
“Faith was so sweet and amazing with our two dogs. We have a puppy so she was very patient, reliable, and always on time. Our dogs were always excited for walks . Couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our dogs!”

“Kelly was great at communicating and sending a lot of updates and pictures. Our doggo warmed up to her quickly and we love that she felt loved and cared for while we were gone.”

About: I’ve taken care of and raised 3 dogs and 1 cat my entire life and I love hanging out with them. I’m always taking them on 3+ mile walks around the island I live on. One of my dogs lost her leg in a car accident and I held her together while we drove to the hospital and now she’s a strong beautiful tripod dog. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I can guarantee a copious amount of time with any pets that need care and attention. I have a large front yard and a huge house indoor for any pets to romp around in and have fun. I have plenty of food and water for them as well.
About: I provide safe, attentive, and loving care just like you would at home. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, and dogs that require structure, patience, and medication. I focus on routine, positive reinforcement, and constant supervision. Whether it’s walks, boarding, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or companionship, your pet will always be treated like family. I send frequent photo and video updates so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I arrange my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, weekends, and for extended stays when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure environment, follow all feeding and care instructions closely, provide constant supervision, and give regular updates for peace of mind.

Jennifer was great! She was so easy to communicate with, timely with both the meet and greet and the scheduled walks, and followed instructions well! She has an easy going personality that made me and my dog feel comfortable with her right away. Thanks Jennifer!
Leah and Edward have been my dog’s walker for the past three months. They are great communicators, always on time and well skilled with dog behavior and additionally are so kind to her. Additionally, they are generously walking their well-trained dog with mine to help with my dog’s reactivity. I highly recommend them!

Justin was very communicative with me and very patient with my dog who was a little unsure of a stranger walking her. He suggested ideas to make the transition go smoother, did not rush the process, and I really appreciated it. I will definitely book additional walks and daycare with Justin in the future.

Chris was so accommodating and personable. We had a little mix up in addresses (all my fault) and he was so flexible and committed to taking care of my big boy Gus. Chris went out of his way to make sure that Gus was taken care of. Definitely will ask for Chris for any future dog walking needs.

Whitney is the best dog-walker! She knows dogs well and was so patient and kind. We have a 110 pound lab mix that is quite reactive to other dogs. Our other pup is a senior lab mix who needs a lot of extra encouragement on walks lately. Whitney was a perfect match for both of them. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!
