Pet care experience
Dog Loving Couple in DTLA High Rise
English/ 中文 /粤语 My wife and I both grew up with dogs and have 20+ years of experience between us keeping them happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We have a friendly 3 year old of our own at home and would love to find her a playmate. Your dog won’t be spending the day alone. We live in a downtown high rise, so your pup gets a clean, climate controlled space, elevator access for quick potty breaks, and multiple walks a day around the neighborhood. We’re very comfortable with high energy breeds, feeding and medication schedules, crate routines, and whatever your dog is already used to. Send us their normal routine and we’ll stick to it. We’ll also send photo and video updates so you know exactly how they’re doing.

Ratings and reviews
I've known Justin and Athena since they got Arya. Anyone who's spent time around their place knows how much structure those dogs have — walks three times a day, consistent routine, and two dogs who genuinely get along with visiting dogs. They're the people in my circle I'd call first if I needed someone to watch my pets.
Justin and Athena are complete lifesavers when it comes to urgent accommodations! I’ve known Justin for 6 years. They took phenomenal care of my small dachshund, Rocket, giving him endless love, attention, and plenty of great walks. Despite having various caregivers before, the difference is genuinely night and day when it comes to Justin and Athena. They truly understand how to handle pets with gentle, responsible care, and I honestly wouldn’t trust any other caregivers with him. I can’t recommend them enough!
I highly recommend Justin as a pet sitter. He’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pets were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time.
Justin is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. He’s attentive, communicative, and treats every pet like his own. I always feel confident and at ease leaving my pets with him.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily and weekly routine. I work fully remote, which allows me to be home for the majority of the day and readily available to provide consistent supervision, companionship, walks, feeding, and playtime. While I occasionally need to step out to visit local customers, these outings are typically short and planned, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. My wife is a PhD student in medical school and works in a hybrid setting, so between the two of us, there is almost always someone home. She also has extensive professional experience with animal care, including administering medications and injections, monitoring health and behavior, and responding calmly to any medical or behavioral needs that may arise. Together, we are able to accommodate a wide range of pet needs, including structured routines, special diets, medication schedules, senior pet care, and extra attention for pets that require it. We prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible and providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment where they feel comfortable and well cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We care for pets in our home by providing a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment that allows them to feel relaxed and well-loved. We live in a spacious 2b2b high-rise apartment, which gives pets plenty of room to move around, rest, and have their own quiet space when needed. Our apartment complex includes two well-maintained dog parks, which allow us to provide regular outdoor exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks. We tailor activity levels to each pet’s needs, whether that means additional walks, off-leash play, or calmer enrichment activities. Inside the home, we follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. Pets receive plenty of attention and affection. For pets that need extra care, including seniors or those with medical needs, we are experienced in monitoring behavior, administering medications, and ensuring their comfort at all times.

A typical day
We walk the dogs at least three times a day around our building and the neighborhood, with plenty of room to run and play fetch in between. Arya is friendly and loves having a playmate, though we're just as happy to give a shyer dog space to settle at their own pace. Someone is always home, so your dog gets steady company and a real routine. Expect meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, and a comfortable place to sleep. Expect photos and updates throughout the stay.
