“Jason took great care dropping in on our dog Leia. She got some much needed cuddles and a nice walk. He sent us updates and pictures so we know she was enjoying herself”
“Lisa is an amazing dog sitter! She is gentle and kind to my dog who currently can’t walk and is having health issues.”
“First off I want to say thank you for being so reliable and taking such good care of not only my cats but my house as well. I was nervous about being gone for almost a month but in the first few days I saw how trust worthy, reliable and caring you are about animals. I realized very quickly that I made the right choice when I decided to go with you. Not only did you send plenty of pictures but you built a strong bond with my cats and I’m pretty sure they were disappointed when it was me that opened the door and not you. From the bottom of my heart I'm grateful for you and all your hard work. If any of you need someone that is honest, trustworthy, reliable, not only cares for animals but can truly connect with them… This is your girl. You won’t regret it i can promise you that. I know the next time i need a sitter or anything I am calling Oksana.”
“Blake was incredible. Our animals loved her, and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone— they both snuggled with her on her visits. We will definitely ask her to watch our pets again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jonathan! I grew up in a home known throughout the neighborhood for dog sitting and for always opening our doors to any animal in need. At any moment, our home was filled with at least four dogs, a bird room, and a rotating mix of rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and lizards—all equally cherished members of the family. I started taking on real responsibilities for their care at around 8 years old and caring for animals has been an immensely rewarding part of my life ever since. Today, my own home is just as full of love: we have two wonderful Labradors (one senior who needs a little help moving, one energetic and reactive youngster), a short-haired cat, and a newborn son. My experience ranges from caring for senior dogs to managing dogs with special behavioral needs, including reactivity. Because of that, I’m especially attentive to safety and never allow dogs to interact without full owner consent and ample distance. Priority #1 will always remain making sure your dog is safe at all times. I always stay aware of surroundings and respect every dog’s comfort level with people, sounds, and other animals. I’m happy to reinforce basic commands during walks, offer structured play during drop-ins, or simply keep things calm and comforting for your pet. Whether your dog enjoys a slow sniff around the neighborhood or needs more structured activity, I’ll follow your lead to give them exactly what they need. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and responsibility I give my own. You can expect clear communication, safe practices, and genuine respect for you and your animal's needs and routines. It's important that both parties feel comfortable so please reach out to schedule a meet and greet prior so we can do our best to make sure that we both feel it's a good fit. I am available for walks and check-ins anytime morning to evening from 6:00am until 6:00pm with the exception of Sundays. If there's something outside of those time frames you're needing covered please reach out and I'll do my best to see if I can accommodate. When I’m in your home or out on a walk with your dog, safety is always my top priority. I never allow dogs to interact with other animals or humans unless I have been given clear consent. I will always maintain safe distances from others by shortening the leash when needed or when avoiding certain hazards. During drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own. I follow your instructions carefully, double checking to be sure gates and doors are secure, and will always be sure that your pet is comfortable before I leave. I know that every home and dog has its own rhythm, and I make it a point to adapt to that, not disrupt it. On walks, I stay mindful of the ever-changing environment of a city at all times and stay attentive to not only our surroundings but the body language of your pup and how the route is impacting them. That means avoiding overly stimulating routes for reactive dogs or taking a path with a few more flowers to give more good sniff time for dogs that like to take their time walking. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I tailor each visit to their personality and your preferences.
“Highly recommend Ximena. They took great care of our cat while we were away, sending lots of pictures and being very communicative. Our cat has a particular feeding schedule and Ximena followed our instructions to a T!”
“Timothy is great! He takes good care of our pup and we highly recommend”
About: I have about 20 years of experience with dogs, having multiple growing up and now an owner of a bulldog. I love all dogs and understand how to handle any temperament of dog I recently just sold my company and just love being around dogs so I’m and readily available when needed and happy to do whatever is necessary for your pet! I have a gated in home in Santa Monica that allows my dog free range through the days. My bulldog pearl is a 9 year old sweetheart and she’s given me great experience with handling dogs
“Theresa has looked after my cats three times now and done an excellent job each time. She’s always prompt with communicating, and leaves the space better than she found it. I feel reassured when im gone that Theresa will take good care of my kitties.”
About: I was surrounded by animals in my household throughout my entire childhood, from my first dog, Buddy, to our current dogs, Megan and Cleo, to my three cats growing up, Lucy, Tammie, and Shiloh. I strongly advocated for our current two dogs as a child, obsessively researching local shelters and persuading my parents. I took care of these two dogs with such a deep passion - from walking, playing, and feeding them to being the first one to advocate for vet visits, pouring hours and days into finding the right solutions for medical problems that came our way. Presently, they're senior dogs, with Cleo (our chihuahua rat terrier mix) being the oldest and having to recently have several teeth removed, and her anxiety worsening with age. But I still love her all the same. I will sit with her for hours patiently calming her down, giving her treats, and ensuring she eats healthy, soft food for her comfort. I will wait for her to go potty as long as needed, and be patient and loving even if she can't make it outside in time. While Megan is aging, her needs are simpler, and I focus on ensuring she's getting the adequate play to match her still-high energy levels. Overall, I'd be over the moon to meet your pet, big or small, energetic or shy, high or low support needs - all pets are welcome in my book! Please see my cat care experience for more details on my love and experience with cats! I'm currently working full-time on a hybrid two-day in office schedule in the Santa Monica area. Ideally I would love to see your pet on weekends but also have flexibility on my 3 WFM days throughout the week, particularly around lunchtime and after 5, but I can also work around as needed! I'd love to meet your pet in their comfort space (typically your home), offer some treats, and get to know their personality through light play and pets (depending on what they are comfortable with). After we've gotten acquainted and they feel safe, I'd love to take your pet on a walk or lean into more active play if they are a homebody. Overall, I will use my best judgment to ensure that we're not pushing your pet out of their comfort zone and ensure that they feel comfortable and supported while I care for them.
“I had an amazing experience with Elham as my drop-in cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, punctual, and clearly showed a lot of care for my cat, Luna. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. My cat was happy and well taken care of during my absence. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
About: I’ve had large and smalls dogs my entire adult life. Im experienced caring for puppies as young as 8 weeks old in addition to caring for elderly dogs with dementia and walking issues. I’ve watched my friends dogs and love sending picture updates. Im also a runner and happy to run with your dog if they enjoy that. I am retired so have a very open and flexible schedule. I am a big walker and runner that loves dogs so this would enhance my routine. As a guest in your home, I will follow whatever routine you currently have for your pup in addition to providing multiple updates/pics per day if prefered.
“Jill took such great care of Rosie! Thank you for taking time to train her and for the harness recommendation! Will definitely be requesting help from Jill again!”
“Mason took such great care of our two cats, Gigi and Dalya, while we were on holiday. She's professional, kind, and responsible. We highly recommend using Mason!”
About: My family has me on retainer for my cousins: Levi (golden), Milo (cavalier), Stella (tabby), and Jasper (tuxedo). I’m a reliable freelancer and avid walker with a flexible schedule to help with your care needs! I work from home as a freelancer so I have the flexibility to care for your babies when needed and take them on long walks. If there is a need for me to check in on your babies at your home, I would be sure treat your space with the upmost respect and follow all instructions.
“Leila took great care of our kitty cat. She is very responsive to messages, responsible and caring. She’s the best!!”
About: I was trained by a border collie, and evolved through many master teachers. I offer the gift of sight, an insight into your animal through my understanding of energy. This is the language of animals. By communicating in this way, we arrive at a better understanding of your pet. I am focusing on animals to bridge the relationship with their human counterpart so that more than love is found, understanding and a true knowing are fostered. I work with the natural environment of the pet to help facilitate communication through my work with energy. This is a natural language that animals speak.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter isn’t just experience - it’s heart. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave a pet in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. I take the time to listen to what each pet needs - whether that’s a long walk or someone to just sit with them. I do this because I love it, and because your pet deserves someone who shows up with kindness and patience every time. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work virtually. I’m flexible and can come by any time - early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even weekends. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I ensure they feel comfortable. In my home, they get a calm, cozy space with plenty of attention and playtime. In your home, I stick to their routine so everything feels familiar.
“Thank you again for such an amazing stay!!! We loved the review and all the pictures. You are clearly very experienced in caring for kitties!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for over 15 years. I have experience with senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs. I will provide a warm, comforting place for your pet to relax and enjoy while you are away. I will also send updates throughout your pet's stay to show you how much fun we're having! I currently work from home Thursdays and Fridays so I am available to board Thursday through Sunday in my home. I can take your pet on frequent walks at the nearby park or beach! I have a quiet home with no other pets. I live close to a park and the beach so I can take your dog for multiple long walks everyday.

Jonathan is trustworthy, polite, well-spoken and consistent with his great care. He takes his job of the dogs very seriously and treats them as he would his own. I am a senior citizen and Jonathan helped me immensely by walking the dogs for me. I would not hesitate one bit to highly recommend Jonathan as a dog walker. He provides safe, loving care and keeps the pups safe at all times.”

“Lyra is a very compassionate and giving pet lover and caregiver. She grew up with dogs, cats, rats and fish and was borderline obsessive about the care, feeding, love, and health of them all. Her boyfriend and her currently share ownership of two beautiful cats which they treat like beloved children. Lyra is naturally friendly and communicative people person too, which makes her an ideal choice for someone to care for your pet. She will always follow through and whatever she's been tasked with and to keep you informed about anything she experiences or observes related to your animal's well being. If there was a star rating option her I'd give her the maximum 5 star rating without hesitation!”

Alex E.
“Alex has been watching my 100lb golden retriever whenever we go on vacation, he is always reliable and another level of calm you cannot pay for. Just knowing my baby is safe and constantly being enriched when he’s with Alex makes any vacation easier. We also have 2 cats and Alex watches them as well when we are on vacation. Not only does he visit and change their litter box, he genuinely loves spending time with the cats who love the attention when they are alone for extended periods of times. All in all I cannot recommend Alex enough as a responsible, compassionate, and professional dog or cat caregiver. Any pet would be lucky to spend a weekend with Alex, I know Levi, Stella, and Jasper would all agree.”

Elham is amazing with a capital A! She took the best care of my little guy Joey. She played with him, cared for him, and sent loads of videos and photos each day which meant the world. To know he was happy, safe and cared for while I was travelling gave me much needed peace of mind. She cleaned up all of his toys and washed his dishes so I didn’t come home to a mess which was so thoughtful. Elham even left the cutest card for me! I will for sure be rebooking Elham for every time I need to travel.
Audrey is very professional but also very warm and sweet. Comes with personal cat loving experience, so she genuinely cared for Margot. She had great questions and kept in touch while also including cute pics! Would contact again in the future.

Arzu is like magic! We’ve had so much trouble finding a pet sitter or boarding option for our dog who has severe anxiety. This is our 3rd time having her take care of our pup and every time we come home Bella is happy, calm and seems like she barely even noticed we were gone!

Knowing that I'd come home to two happy kitties let me enjoy my trip. And as always, I received adorable updates from Randi that let me know the kitties were in good hands. Five stars aren't enough, she deserves ALL the stars.
We had a drop-in with Jackie today and she did a great job caring for our little man and his special needs.
Brittany was so awesome and loving with dude! We were lucky to have her walk dude multiple times within a week and will definitely use her again!

Danielle was amazing! Left great summaries and made me feel certain my cat Nyla was in good hands while I was away.
Courtney is amazing! Not only did she take care of our pup, walked her and took care of her, but genuinely gave her some love while we were away! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Courtney was with her.
Andrea is great with our cats, spends plenty of time with them and always provides great updates/pics to let us know they’re doing great! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
