About: Hello! I have not had pets of my own because of apartment living restrictions however have taken care of friends pets (cats and dogs) for over five years. I am a responsible, kind, and active sitter that respects your pets space and sticks to their routine as close as possible while you are away. My approach is grounded in deep kindness and lots of care. I am gentle with pets and attuned to their needs. Overall, I am dependable and easy to communicate. Because of my flexible work I can be around most of the day if that's what your pet needs or drop by as needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry loves and caring for them while you are away. I’m open to recurring dog walking gigs! My work is flexible and therefore I am available to support your pet's regular routine. I am available to lounge and play with your furry members as needed. I am attentive, engaging, and ready to play or cuddle. I am eager to learn your pets likes and dislikes and follow their lead on making them feel comfortable while you are away.

About: I have taken care of personal, friends, and family pets for years. From senior to excited puppy to shy. I am able to bond with all kinds of dogs and cats. I currently work full time but am available midday, before or after work hours and most weekends. Reach out to me and I will do my best to make time for your furry friends! I have an enclosed, gated, apartment complex with a park nearby and I love going for multiple walks a day. If at your home I am happy to stay for as long as needed and keep the pet occupied and happy.
About: Hi! I'm Luna, a college student from Ithaca, NY. I started petsitting two years ago, in my hometown and the town I go to college in, but I am looking to offer my services in Los Angeles while I intern here for the summer! I have experience with reactive dogs- I've taken care of my rescue dog for four years now. He's a large reactive dog who needs a lot of special attention, especially when around people and on walks. Your pup will be in good hands! I'm interning at a production company two days a week, so unable to provide service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but very flexible every other day. I am happy to take your pup on walks around the neighborhood, parks, or local trails. I have experience taking my dog on walks from 45 minutes- 1 hour, but if your dog doesn't need that, I love taking a shorter route! I don't have a car, so sticking locally will work best for me. If you have a yard, I will happily play with your dog outside, and visit inside however necessary.
“Meng was wonderful! She walked my difficult senior dog and sent so many photos and updates and followed all of my instructions. She was very good at communicating and keeping me updated. Definitely will be using her again!”

About: I’ve always been a dog person and honestly become attached to dogs way too fast. I’ve cared for family dogs and helped friends with their pets, and I know every pup has their own personality and needs. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big thing, so I’d treat them like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give your pup. Whether that’s walks, playtime, keeping them company, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to make sure they get lots of care and attention throughout the day. I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I always make sure I follow whatever makes your pup feel the most comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated because I know trusting someone with your dog is a big thing.
About: I’m a dog lover who enjoys taking long walks in our beautiful city and being close to nature. I’ve cared for many wonderful dogs and small animals, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and love they deserve. I’m in training to be a dog trainer 🐶 I have flexible hours since I work independently, mostly from home. The times of the day when I’m most available is Mon-Fri from 9 - 8 and some availability during weekends. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks. I don’t have pets at the moment, I could host a dog that is good with children. My boys are gentle and loving with animals.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on experience, calm energy, and genuine love for dogs. I grew up with dogs for over 15 years, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. In my teen years, I regularly walked and managed up to nine cocker spaniels at once, which taught me how to stay attentive, patient, and in control even in high energy situations. For the past four years, I’ve also supported a dog nanny business, where I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I’m especially strong with maintaining consistency, reading dog behavior, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. My calm and detail oriented approach helps dogs feel comfortable quickly, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m confident working with puppies who need structure and guidance, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive pace. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own, and that’s what earns the trust and all the tail wags. I’m used to planning my days with intention, so incorporating walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins is something I do with ease. On a daily basis, I prioritize morning and evening availability, which are key times for walks, feeding, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel calm and secure. Throughout the week, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate different needs, whether that’s longer walks, multiple visits, or adjusting to a dog’s specific routine. I’ve spent years around dogs,both personally and supporting a dog nanny business,I’m very aware of how important consistency is for their behavior and comfort. I naturally build that consistency into my routine, making sure each dog gets reliable care, attention, and a positive experience every time. I approach pet care with consistency, respect for the pet’s routine, and close attention to detail, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar as possible. I follow their established routine for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime, while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m mindful of house rules, locking up properly, and maintaining clear communication with updates so owners feel confident while they’re away. In my own home, I create a calm, safe, and structured environment. I make sure pets have a designated space to relax, stick to consistent feeding and walking schedules, and provide a balance of play, exercise, and rest. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can adjust care as needed and ensure each pet feels comfortable and supported. Across both settings, my goal is the same: to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, safe, and at ease.

About: Pets naturally become part of the family, and I treat them that way. I’m reliable, attentive, and love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I have experience helping care for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I recently graduated from my master’s program and am currently job searching, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I spend most of my days at home applying for jobs, taking care of my home, and staying organized, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, care, and consistency throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and love creating a calm, comfortable environment for them. I’m very attentive when caring for pets and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their environment. I follow owners’ routines and instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medications, or simply giving a pet space when they need it. I keep my home clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Haley is so sweet and very reliable! She’s accommodated my requests even when last minute and takes such great care of my pup, who is always so excited to see her. Thank you Haley!!!”

About: I know how important it is to provide your pets with care where they will feel loved and cared for and for you to have someone you can trust with your beloved furry friend. I'd love to help take care of your animals. I've been around animals my whole life and have a sweet kitty named Ophelia I adopted when I moved to LA a little over 3 years ago. My family and I had a great pyrenees for 12 years, so I grew up walking, bathing and taking care of a 100+ pound dog. We also fostered and raised multiple litters of kittens from our local rescue throughout my teenage years. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for years walking dogs and working to get them adopted and socialized. I also worked as a Vet Kennel Tech for a summer along with running their doggy day care program. I was in charge of up to 15 dogs at once of all sizes and breeds. I am very adventurous yet super responsible sitter and would love to take your dog on their favorite adventure while you’re away (a walk, a run, a visit to the park, etc). I've been a pet sitter for dozens of people all over Nashville, Florida and LA and would love to help take care of your pet! My job is fully remote so I’m happy to host your dog while you’re away at work,school, etc and am flexible to work with your schedule and needs! In my own home, my cat (Ophelia) will be there. She loves dogs and having a buddy come over for the day, so as long as your dog is okay with cats they are welcome to spend the day at my place! I love being outdoors and taking time to walk in my neighborhood during the day, so don’t mind spending time playing fetch, walking your dog or even taking them on a run if they enjoy that.
“Mark was so helpful walking Wicket every day this week and took a different route each day to keep it exciting and new for him! He sent adorable pictures and great updates daily. He genuinely cared for our boy and had him smiling so wide on their adventures and napping peacefully after!”

“Aditi is the best. She understands how important our little guy is to us, has a great approach to giving him the best walk and experience, and is very communicative & responsible. We feel very lucky to have found her!”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable, attentive animal lover with hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. My own sweet senior dog requires medications and extra support, and, as a rescue, he came with a big dose of separation anxiety. I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I also know how hard it can be to entrust a new person with the safety and care of your beloved companion. I take the honor very seriously! I’m comfortable with walks, routines, medications, and senior pet support. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, so I’m experienced with different temperaments and care styles. I’ll always treat your animals with the same level of care and attention I give my own. You will receive lots of updates and pictures! I work part time from home, so I'm very flexible and ready to come care for your pet! Never be afraid to reach out on short notice. My own home has a new and anxious dog who is learning the environment, for the time being I am only doing pet care in clients' homes.
Mar Vista dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mallory has been walking our large and active dog multiple times a day and brings him daily adventures ,like to a dog park, a run on the beach , a walk around town so he gets exercise and stimulation while I am recovering from surgery. She is on time , pleasant and helpful. Glad we met this wonderful person !

Kevin is THE BEST!! I have a Husky who can be a little crazy on the leash so I always worry. I had to travel for 24 hours and asked Kevin to come walk and check on Mac a few times. He was super communicative which made me feel that Mac was in good hands and that I could trust him to keep Mac safe. I came back to a very happy, chill doggo :)

Nicholle was extremely communicative and helped us out with dog walks last minute. I felt confident that the dogs were well taken care of, and she helped bring in packages and top up their water too. She was even understanding when I ended up canceling one of our scheduled walks last minute. Thanks Nicholle!

Nick is great!! Sweet guy, easy going and great communication. I have two Shar Pei and he handled them beautifully. Dialed-in to the dogs and physically strong which puts me at ease since you never know what you can encounter on walks around Venice. Will for sure hire him again. 5 stars!
