“Sabrina was a wonderful foster mom to our two large dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. As it turned out, the two week boarding was the first time our pups had stayed overnight with Sabrina. There was obvious anxiety on how it would work out, but Sabrina's daily contact with meaningful messages and studio-like photos quickly put those fears to rest. The insight she provided on our furry children highlighted the attention she was giving them, and also her ability to speak dog. Allowing us to bring our own XL kennels so our dogs could feel more at home was the first sign of her genuine concern for our dogs comfort. We have our dogs on special meal plans which she had no problem accommodating. By the end of our trip we were afraid the dogs wouldn't want to come home with us! I also appreciate her flexibility in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times on relatively short notice. I can't say enough on how wonderful it all turned out, I appreciate having connected with her and having her as our foster mom going forward.”
“We were nervous to leave our baby with someone other than our parents but he had a great time and Ness sent pictures and let me know he was doing great. By the end of trip I was nervous he wouldn’t want to come home because of how happy he looked with Ness and her dogs. Would definitely use again!”
“We are very happy with the care that you give to the doggies. You and your family spoil them and we know they are well be taken care of. We look forward to booking with you in the future!”
“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“From the moment I reached out to Mariah inquiring about sitting services for our dog - Mariah was quick to respond, kind, open, welcoming and accommodating. Mariah provided boarding for our dog for 5 days and she provided daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease. We opted for the pick up and drop off service and she was punctual on pickup. Our flight was delayed by 3 hours and Mariah was understanding and dropped our dog off at midnight! I will definitely be using her again in the future. She was a pleasure to work with. THANK YOU!”
“Angela was such a great dog sitter- she and Kona made Honey feel right at home while I was away! She was willing to be flexible with me and my hectic schedule and sent lots of updates and pics throughout the stay! 10/10”
“It was fantastic! We loved the constant pictures and video updates. We were nervous because it was the first time we had left Milo but Cristina put us at ease. We will be booking with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!
“Ashley is awesome! She took care of our Pablo as if he were her own dog. She provided updates and sent us a lot of pictures. While we were sad we couldn’t take Pablo on vacation with us, it gave us a lot of comfort that Ashley took good care of him.”
“Leila was awesome taking care of our dog Mookie! She was friendly and very communicative. Shared lots of pics and video while we were gone. Mookie had a great time playing with her friendly pup also. Thanks so much!”
“Annette took great care of our dog Milo! She made him feel right at home from the minute we arrived, and she was very communicative during the entire stay. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, and I would definitely have Annette watch our dog again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding service in the LA area!”
“I am so happy my cat Leo was left with Tamara, she was very nice and my cat was in good hands. Loved that I would get pictures of him on how he was doing. I would rebook again with Tamara, thank you!”
“We are so happy we chose Jaspreet! Our dog, Lucy, was well taken care of and loved. I was happy to get daily updates and pictures. Lucy was a happy girl when we picked her up and could tell the two of them got along wonderfully. We will definitely book again when needed.”
“Michael and Rambo are great! Michael is great with dogs of all energy levels and personalities. Our dog got plenty of playtime and love while there, and we loved the daily photos. We recommend and will use again! Thank you!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know it can be hard to find a sitter that you can trust to take care of them. I have 3 dogs at home; a small Shi-tzu, a young husky/german sheppard, and a old retriever mix. I also have 2 young cats and I take care of a neighborhood stray. I have always had a soft spot for animals. My mom and I have fostered stray cats, dogs, and watched pets while family friends were on vacation. I may not have much formal training, but if hired I will carefully watch, play, walk, and hangout with your pets, as well as, keep you updated in the process. Every morning I take my 2 dogs out to go, then I fill up their water bowl and let them back in. I give them their breakfast around 10 and then take them on a walk around the park near our neighborhood. We play throughout the day and they keep each other company while I do chores and homework. I feed them around 4:30 or 5 each night and they get a glucosamine biscuit before we go to bed. Sometimes we go on a second walk before bed as well. I have a fenced yard and two friendly fur babies to keep them company! My cats are friendly but if your babies dont like cats, mine will stay in my room. We have some house gates we used to use when our doggies were puppy training, and a very roomy crate for the young husky, so blocking our animals from yours is always an option if necessary. I only ask that you supply their food for their stay if they are on any special food diet.
“Joyce was great with our doggies. They seemed to love their stay and interacted well with her dogs. She sent photos and videos everyday to keep us updated. Highly recommend!”

This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having someone dog sit for us, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new. From the very beginning, Marilyn made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She loved our dog like he was her own, and we could tell he was happy and well cared for. She sent us photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog was so excited to be with her, and that really says it all! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like family! ❤️🐶
Sabrina was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took such wonderful care of our sweet Cooper and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We especially appreciated the regular text updates and photos—it gave us such peace of mind and was so nice to see how well he was doing. We feel so fortunate to have found Sabrina and would absolutely book with her again. We’re already looking forward to the next time! ❤️
Jillian was absolutely amazing, I received daily updates and photos of my baby dog. Prior to his boarding, Jillian provided us a tour of his suite and the layout. We also did a a consultation to make sure Maximus would feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly and Maximus absolutely adored Jillian. She took him out on outings and was always on alert taking care of him. They even had special play dates. She cooked special meals for him and made sure he felt safe at all times. I would 1000% hired Jillian to take of my baby dog.
We were nervous to leave our baby with someone other than our parents but he had a great time and Ness sent pictures and let me know he was doing great. By the end of trip I was nervous he wouldn’t want to come home because of how happy he looked with Ness and her dogs. Would definitely use again!
Infinity did another wonderful boarding for our Ghost (Alaskan Klee Kai). Last minute, she was able to take him in again and kept him safe, happy and secure. We have asked Infinity to watch him multiple times and I really can’t say enough positive things about her. Thank you again.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norwalk home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Norwalk.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
