Highlights
Pet care experience
Caretaker for animals big + small
I've been an animal lover and advocate for as long as I can remember. In my twenties, I supplemented my art world income by walking dogs and pet sitting in NYC. That’s also where Miko and Domo, my two beloved cats, found their way home with me. In 2014, I moved to Southern California—the same year I met Wally, my forever dog. He was a planned “failed foster” from Canine Animal Rescue League in Santa Paula, where I volunteered as a dog walker. It took his cat brothers mere minutes to welcome their big pit bull sibling, and in 2015, we all moved to Los Angeles. We’ve been in the Hollywood Hills ever since. I absolutely love taking dogs out for sniffs, zoomies, and adventure! Wally and I explored the world together every day. From new hiking trails, nature trips, to the dog park, every moment with my canine companion was memorable. He crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022, leaving an irreplaceable mark on my heart. Recently, I made the decision to resign from my full-time job, and now, I’m eager to fill my days—and the dog-walking void in my heart—by caring for your pet family. Rain or shine, I am that someone you can count on. After all, our most faithful friends deserve nothing but the best!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm a stickler for precaution and safety. Los Angeles is home to people and pets, but also wildlife and cars! I know how important our pets are and I'll happily follow your lead for safety, you know your pets best. That said, I always check that windows and doors are shut properly and maintain a clean environment to ensure a safe place for the animals.

Regina was absolutely amazing!! So communicative and went above and beyond when taking care of Omelet and Atilla. Highly highly recommend!
We are so happy we found Regina! She very caring and patient with our little dog. He tends to be anxious and she works so well with him. He clearly is a happy pup after spending time with her.

- I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for the breeds with a bad rap. Every pet is unique, their personalities are why we love them, right? So tell me their likes, dislikes — share their quirks so I can meet them where they're at.
