About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

“Jeanette was extremely helpful with our pups! She was easily reachable and accessible throughout the process and we felt comfortable with her in our home, with our furry babies!”


About: I grew up spending many summers on my grandparent's farms in Portugal and Italy where taking care of our farm dogs, barn cats, and the occasional chicken were the norm! Between the countryside, the suburbs, and living in Brooklyn, I have taken care of bunnies, house cats, budgies and cockatiels, and dogs big and small for the last 9 years. I have experience with providing care and medications for senior cats and dogs as well. My practice as a yoga teacher has even prepared me to stay calm and attentive yet playful when handling your pet's needs. Currently, I work part-time and freelance as a yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, and astrologer, so I have flexibility to support your pet's schedule for care. For example, schedules could include 12-1pm drop in visits or walks, 4-7pm feeding times, or overnight care! When I stop by to care for your pet, I make sure I reread the instructions provided to me regarding you and your pets needs. I always lock up your home before, during, and after each visit and will take the time to play with your pet, hang out with them, and provide much needed love in whatever way your pet likes! Afterwards, I like to send updated photos of my time spent with your pet to give them an overview of what our time together has been like :)


About: I grew up on a farm, taken care of multiple dogs and chickens and other animals, and I missed being around them!

I work freelance remotely currently and start grad school in fall so my schedule is extremely open! I can be there to take care of animals at any time. I’m great with both dogs and cats, and I always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every pet like my own!

About: Desde niña tengo mascotas las cuales las cuido con mucho amor y dedicación. Igual mi familia, amigos y vecinos confian en mi para cuidar de sus mascotas. Tengo un trabajo en la mañana por lo cual en la tarde me quedaría bien cuidar mascotas, sacarlas a pasear, jugar con ellas ya que me gusta caminar y estar activa la mayoría del tiempo. Doy mi atención a las mascotas ya que son parte fundamental de las familias. Me gusta mucho verlas tranquilas y felices. Las cuido como si fueran unos bebes

About: I love Animals! ♡ I am blessed to remember a childhood with animals; from dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, bunnies, etc. I love all breeds of dogs (especially Pugs)!! I love being in the presence of animals and embrace their unconditional love; of course reciprocating the same love to your furry friend. Although I am currently trying to make extra income, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with animals and those who love animals as much as I do. I treat all animals with respect and dignity. My home has one black pug; who's 8 yrs old and full of energy & cuddles. Nuestra Casa es tu Casa. Thank you for checking my profile and hope to meet your loved one(s) soon. "Be Kind to One Another". xoxo Zuly & Benji I work full time; petcare happens before/after work. Weekends- petcare occurs all day! We do dog parks at least once or twice a week; or make sure to run around outdoors. I care for all pets with the utmost respect and dignity. I am gentle and try my best to read all cues the animal gives off.

About: I’ve grown up with a German Shepherd and now have a Husky of my own. A high energy Husky requires a lot of care and I will happily do the same for your dog. I would love to make your dog feel at home when you’re away or if you need a little help! My dog would love to make new friends! Mi casa es su casa. I am currently looking for a job, so I have flexibility on all weekdays and weekends! Let me know if you need walks for your pup or any other service and I’d be happy to help!

Mattingly B.

“Mattingly was awesome at taking care of my cat for a week! Super sweet and followed my picky cat's regimen to a tee! Would 100% book her again!”




Matthew M.
“Matthew is a total gem! He stayed with our high-energy 5 year old boxer, Phoenix, for three nights and turned what could have been a whirlwind into a smooth experience. From long play sessions that left Phoenix happily tuckered out to thoughtful touches—like collecting the mail and pulling in the garbage cans—Matthew handled every detail with care. It was clear he genuinely enjoyed keeping Phoenix busy and engaged. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and kind-hearted who treats your pup and your home with respect, Matthew’s your guy. We’d welcome him back anytime and can’t recommend him highly enough!”
