Meng did an amazing job watching Otto and Archie for us while we were out at an event all day! The boys got lots of play time and a walk. Meng left our house spotless as well. Will book again!

Once again, Margaret was amazing! This time around she also took care of a new foster puppy we got unexpectedly. He is a tripod and also has a bad back leg. His motility was very limited but Margaret handled it like a pro! She also stays at our place until our flight actually lands instead just sticking to a written schedule. That means so much to us because flights can be delayed. Thanks again, Margaret!

Nick is an amazing companion for your dog while you are away. It was the first time I have left my dog since moving to LA and I was very nervous. He not only sent daily photos and videos, but also took Otter to the beach multiple times and got him a Christmas toy. I cannot thank him enough for the love he gave Otter.

Sam stayed at my home and looked after my 9 year old golden retriever for the night. When I returned, I found my place in impeccable condition, and he had taken excellent care of my pet. Sam followed instructions diligently and proved to be a trustworthy caregiver. I will certainly continue to rely on him to take care of my home and dogs.

Deirdra did an amazing job taking care of Hank. He is a senior pup with arthritis and a pretty involved food and supplement routine. Deirdra stayed with Hank for about a week and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was thorough in her reports throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures during her stay. Would definitely re-book for future trips.

It always gives us such a peace of mind when Nichole watches our senior dog, who needs medication. Not only does our dog love her and gets so excited when she comes over but we get constant updates while we’re away.

Jeff was a great sitter for our pup Miso, coming through at the last minute when another sitter had to cancel. Very responsive and asked questions to make sure Miso was happy and comfortable. We loved all the photo updates and Jeff’s flexibility, understanding of our dog’s quirks, and clear communication. Thanks, Jeff!

Riley is a warm and caring pet sitter! I knew my chihuahua was in good hands at the first meeting, and Riley's confidence and capability in handling my puppy was greatly reassuring. From the pictures, videos and updates it was clear my dog had a great time and felt very comfortable with Riley! So happy to have found her before my trip!

About: Hi! I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. They hold a very special place in my heart, and even though I have my own fur babies, I never get tired of all the cuteness and joy they bring. I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or just extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies who need structure and gentle guidance, to senior pets who need patience, a slower pace, and attentive care (including medication if needed). I also work well with shy or anxious pets and always move at their comfort level to build trust. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home. You can always expect thoughtful updates, clear communication, and someone who treats your pets like their own. I truly love what I do and would be honored to care for yours! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to offer flexible availability for pet care throughout the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I’m also open to overnight care and happy to provide services either in my home or yours—whichever best suits your pet’s comfort and your needs. I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care in both my home and clients’ homes, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I closely follow instructions and maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep them relaxed in their familiar environment. In my home, I offer a clean, peaceful space where pets are treated like family with plenty of care and attention. I currently share my home with two sweet, indoor teenage male cats, so visiting pets must be comfortable in a cat-friendly environment. In all cases, I focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication, with regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hello - I'm Robert! I'm excited to meet you and your very best friend. I've looked after both dogs and cats for the last 10 years. I also used to be a high school teacher, so I know a thing or two about wild animals! Most recently I supported my girlfriend's two corgis on their journey to the rainbow bridge. It was truly an honor to care for them both. I'm not currently working a full-time job, so I can be available for most weekdays and weekends. I like to keep busy though, so please book with as much notice as you can. Thanks! If you board your pet with me, they will be in a large house on the westside. We have 2 dog-friendly cats that also love visitors!

Melia was wonderful. She had good communication with me throughout the duration of her time house sitting and watching my cat. She also understood how to properly care for a cat who is more shy and takes time to get comfortable around new people. Melia was able to get my cat to come out and play, which several cat sitters had a hard time doing. I would definitely recommend Melia.
