Availability

I pet sit and dog walk full time so I have a very flexible schedule as well as availability! This means I can typically adhere to the same schedule your pet is accustomed to. I’m available for long term sittings (have done up to 6 weeks), routinely scheduled walking, as well as last minute bookings if close to Santa Monica.

Information Didi I. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs, allergies, fears, quirks, or other requirements ahead of time. No detail is too small and no request is too weird!

A typical day

I love designing enrichment games for dogs! I can also go for a run with your higher energy dog. I love taking dogs that are comfortable in the car for a stroll at the beach or hiking.

Animal lover ready to love your pet

Pet care experience

Full time pet sitter/house manager! I fell in love with animals as a kid with my childhood German Shepard - Bruno. So, when I moved to Los Angeles in 2021 for graduate school, I ecstatically joined Rover. I now house manage, pet sit, and dog walk full time. This means I can work around your pet’s daily schedule, take them on adventures around town, and socialize them with other dogs! I’ve taken care of a variety of animals over the years from dogs and cats to snakes and birds! I have extensive experience with special needs pets, elderly pets, puppies, and oral medication administration/shots. My family dog is over 100lbs so I can confidently handle larger breeds. Please let me know if you are interested in dematting or teething brushing! I can spend the last five minutes of a walk brushing your dog or cleaning their teeth at no extra charge.

My husband and I hired Didi to watch our dog on our wedding day. She was absolutely amazing with him. She walked, fed, and drove him to and from the venue as requested. Didi ensured that Honey was well behaved during the ceremony and she even got him to pose for several pictures! 10/10 would rebook Didi for any occasion.

Didi took great care of my pups. She sent me updates throughout the stay & I could tell they were well taken care of. I would book with her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
