About: Hi! I'm Enrique, a radio host and animal lover 🐶🐱. Since I was a child, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends, ensuring they receive affection, exercise, and personalized attention. I live in Los Angeles and adapt to each pet's needs: leisurely or high-energy walks, visits to feed, play, and clean up, or stays at home so they feel accompanied. I'm patient, responsible, and love sending photos and videos so you always know how your furry companion is doing. Your pet will be in good hands and with lots of love! Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their needs and personality. Dogs: Calm or energetic walks depending on their age and physical condition, interactive games, fresh water always available, and updates with photos and videos to keep you calm. Cats: Feeding as directed, litter box cleaning, playtime or cuddles if they enjoy it, and respect for their space if they are more independent. Extra: Oral medication if necessary, positive reinforcement, and special attention for puppies or senior pets. My priority is that your furry companion feels safe, loved, and happy while you are away. 🐕🐈 I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy, following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and when I visit pets at their home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

“Thanks for looking after my boy Sofia - I felt like he was in incredibly good hands with you! I know he’s made a friend these last 2 weeks! Thank you for you clear communication and fun updates - I really appreciated them while I was out of town.”


“We had the pleasure of having Malia take care of our two cats, Sushi and Squid, for 12 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent us detailed updates and photos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her care and attention to detail were truly outstanding. We highly recommend Malia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and we definitely hope to use her services again in the future! Thank you so much Malia🙏✨”


“Carley was so great with my old lady cat! Very kind and patient. Plenty of pic updates and so easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and will rebook!”

About: Some quick personal info about my experience. My family has taken care of most animals that you could find in a pet shop. From dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, arachnids, etc. And I understand that your dog needs someone to care for it like family even if it’s for a short amount of time. I currently have a senior dog with my girlfriend (he just turned 10) and he has grown just more affectionate over the years. I’ve taken care my friends’ dogs over the years, from puppies to seniors and even dogs from different households. Emergencies are familiar to me, if it involves being persuasive with getting medication down, topical applications, anxiety meds, or even an emergency visit to a vet, these are situations I have experienced before. Patience and consistency is key when it comes to animals. Even if your dog has a sensitive stomach, I’ve had to take my dog out every 30 minutes for two days, until we got his stomach under control. As long as I can remember, dogs have been a part of my life. And I’d like to put that experience to use for others who have a vacation planned in thr near future. Currently a student with a dog of my own. I share my dog with my girlfriend. He’s large lab mix who is 10 years old! He loves having a friend around and we’d like to keep him socialized through his elder years. Also, very open to sitting in the animal’s own home if the situation calls for it. Animals require a team effort no matter what the environment. I currently live in DTLA in an apartment. Very dog friendly area with plenty of spots for dogs to be comfortable in. I frequent the dog park next to STAPLES Center and also the Silverlake Reservoir. My dog personally enjoys my balcony and gets 3 long walks a day.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of dogs, including Westies, Malteses, and Mini Doodles. I’m very flexible with scheduling and happy to provide potty breaks and walks every 2–4 hours to keep your pup happy and comfortable! As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. I structure my routine to include regular potty breaks and walks every 2–4 hours, ensuring dogs stay happy and active. Whether it's morning, midday, or evening, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I live in a high-rise apartment building with a dedicated dog run park, providing a safe and convenient space for pets to play and exercise. The community here is very dog-friendly, and the patio area is clean and well-maintained for pets. Additionally, we’re happy to take your pup to their favorite dog park around the city, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they love in a safe and fun environment.

About: Hi! I have a 4-year-old Shiba Inu that I love dearly, but I also enjoy spending time with other dogs—especially big ones! I can’t have a large dog at home, so I’d be happy to help care for yours. I’m patient, reliable, and love all dogs. I’m available Thursday and Friday mornings from 8:00–9:00 AM, and after 6:00 PM after work. On weekends, I’m flexible and fully available for pet care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, and keep their routine as normal as possible. I give them lots of love, attention, and regular updates to the owner.

“Dani does an excellent job and takes wonderful care of my cat and home. She’s very attentive with my cat, giving her lots of love, pets, and playtime. She also cleans the feeding and litter areas very well and always leaves my home clean and tidy.”


About: I understand that your parts are family members. I know what it feels like to have someone you don’t know to come and take care of them. You can rest assured that your pets will be taken care of and loved while you are away. I have nothing but time to take care of your pets! I am a full time student, so I welcome the opportunity to get out of the house and walk your dog or play with your cat! In my home, pets are treated like family. We talk to them, play with them, tell them we love them, feed them what we believe is the highest quality food, and ensure they’re overall healthy and happy.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up with pets and spending summers on my grandparents’ farm gave me a natural connection with them. I’ve always been the go-to person for my friends whenever they needed someone to care for their pets. I’m patient, caring, and treat every animal like my own. I used to have a German Shepherd who was with me for almost 10 years, a Chihuahua, and multiple cats, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and needs. When I was in college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, which gave me even more experience caring for animals with different needs. Being a vegetarian is just another way I live out my love for animals. I’m available for full-day boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I can also offer boarding on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you’re okay with your pet being alone at my place for a few hours in the evening while I’m at school. Otherwise, I’m home and available most days to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I live in a spacious apartment that provides a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so there’s no chance of conflict or distractions, and I can fully focus on caring for your furry friend:)

About: I grew up with many pets loving animals. I work from home so I can tend to all the dogs. I am always my friends' go-to pet sitter, so they gave me the idea to start dog sitting as a side job. I have a very flexible schedule and don't go out much unless it's taking my dogs to the park. I also make and sell my dog treats on Etsy called Barkreation. I have a two-bedroom loft that is over 1000 sq ft. I also have two dogs who are super playful and get along with all dogs. I do let the dogs cuddle in bed with me.
