“Meng was so helpful and communicative. It can be hard to leave your dog in the care of someone else while your away but Meng sent plenty of photos which assured me that Jasmine was OK. Happy to have someone who was so readily available.”
“With all of the stress of the holidays, at least I did not have to worry about my kitties. Jane was, once again, attentive to their needs and flexible with her time. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of a number of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I have even trained my own dog how to do backflips I'm currently working, but I have plenty of time to hang out with puppy friends and offer boarding services. I work from home three days a week, so I'm available during the day to spend time with them. My apartment is quite spacious, and I have a friendly dog and a lovely cat who would be great company for your pet. I also have extra crates and plenty of dog toys for enrichment and training.
“Mia is a great pet sitter! She was very caring to our cat, and went the extra mile to do things to keep our place clean and safe while we were gone. She is very kind, communicative, and professional. I will definitely be reaching out to Mia again if I have future petcare needs!”
About: I'm a papa to two cats who came out of fostering four baby siblings at once. Safe to say I can handle anything. I grew up with dogs (Weimaraners) and with five years of Personal Assistant experience in LA, I am prompt, communicative, and flexible. I also spent a year taking care of a boss's tortoise, so I'm ready for anything. I am in between seasonal jobs now so I am free all day, every day of the work week to come check in on your cats or walk your dogs. I'm free as early as need be and become unavailable after 5pm each day. I am unavailable on the weekends. I value above all else respecting your pet, your time, and your home. I have experience cleaning up messes and dealing with big fur-baby personalities. I'm active and feel confident walking big pups who like to tug and chase.
“Here’s a glowing review for Anna: "Anna was an absolute lifesaver when our regular cat sitter canceled at the last minute. She stepped in with such kindness and professionalism, taking excellent care of our two cats. Her special touch truly shined when she managed to bond with our shy cat who rarely comes out when we’re not around. Anna’s attentiveness and genuine love for animals make her stand out, and we’re thrilled to say she’ll now be our go-to sitter whenever we’re out of town. Highly recommend her!”
About: It brings me so much joy to meet and care for animals, all pets are special and deserve the best love and care! I have been caring for pets since I was a child, and had the great pleasure of growing up with both a dog and a cat. I have experience with both senior pets that need extra attention/medicine, and puppies/kitties that are still training. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to care for their pets while away, as I am always sure to provide everything they need while also becoming their new best friend:) I love to make sure pet owners are given as many updates about their babies as they want while they're away (my camera roll is full of pet pics) because I know how hard it can be to be away from them! I consider it an honor to be trusted to care for your pets. I am very flexible, responsive, and kind, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently do freelance work and work part time remote, so I have a decent amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will have plenty of time to play with/care for your pets! I can make most times during the day work, and am free on the weekends. My number 1 goal is always to make sure your pet(s) are as comfortable, safe, and happy as possible! I can always be trusted to follow any kind of instructions for taking care of your home as well as your pets - whether it's giving meds, a specific feeding schedule, going for walks, playing in the yard, and generally keeping everything in your home in order.
“Victoria did such a wonderful job taking care of our cat for a long weekend! She was super communicative and sent us some cute photos every day. We will definitely book her services again!”
“Laura is fantastic! She’s reliable, caring, and very communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks to Anastasiia for visiting Elia! She was kind, attentive, and showed genuine care for my cat. Elia felt comfortable around her right away, which is always a great sign. I truly appreciated her reliability and clear communication throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Anastasiia to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”
“Molly is absolutely wonderful. One of my dogs is very nervous around new people and will just bark at them. Molly came in and squatted on the ground to get to her level and let her just sniff. She warmed up to Molly very quickly. Both my dogs are very happy to see her. Her communication is great and she responds right away. I’m very high anxiety about leaving my dogs and she makes me feel really comfortable which I am so grateful for. She is a true animal lover.”
“We loved having Daisy watch our boy. She was super responsive and easy to communicate with. You can tell that she is a responsible human. She took the care to walk and feed G while we were out on New Year’s Eve!”
“Stefan always does an amazing job with my girls and takes good care of everything when he’s there. Much appreciated on the days I’m swamped with work!”
About: I have watched pets in this house for the last year, and we have a little pup of our own! This house is set up as a dog’s paradise, and we will treat your pet as if they’re one of our own. Our little one will be thrilled to have a friend! I am a college professor who is currently on sabbatical, so I’ll be home with LOTS of time for your pets. Annie (my partner) works in an office three days a week, but will be eager to get home to see your little one. The backyard is HUGE and it is fully fenced. I work from home and am always available for walks, playtime, and anything else your pet needs. I am a college professor at Cal State Northridge and work remotely full time. I have a small pup of my own who I feed twice a day and walk regularly, so adding additional pets to my routine is easy! My partner Annie is an accountant for Sony and works in office 2-3 days a week, but she is also at home evenings and all day Friday – Monday. We are huge animal lovers and would care for your pet exactly as we would want our pet to be treated. For in-home sitting: We have a fully fenced backyard with a pool and double-gated front yard where your dog can have free reign to run around! Our neighborhood has lots of easy sidewalks, a park, and easy access to the bike path if longer walks are needed. We will never let a dog off our property without a leash or take them to a public dog park (unless specifically requested). We are happy to do a tour or meet and greet ahead of time so you can see our set up. For client’s homes: The client knows best and sets the rules for their own home and pet. We will work with your hours and needs - whether you just need a drop in visit, day time walks for dogs, or overnights, we are open to whatever rules and schedule you set.
“This review is long overdue for Rose! Shes the best Rover sitter! She has watched my two beloved fur babies Millie and Penny so many times, often available for same day bookings., which is amazing bc my schedule can be quite unpredictable. She’s a great communicator and always sends photos and updates. I’d recommend her completely!”
“Nadine was great with my two cats! They avoid most strangers like the plague but they showed their faces to her at least a couple times and one even came out to eat while she was there. Nadine was always on time, provided great updates, and did all the necessities to take care of my babies plus the extra slightly insane tasks like arranging their favorite blanket in just the right way. Very appreciated!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since a very young age, me and my family adopted and raised a beautiful German shepherd along with some pitbulls. I’m such a dog guy at heart, and treat other dogs like my own fur babies. I work from home, so this gives me the autonomy to be able to fit dog walking or pet sitting into my schedule so conveniently. I don’t have any pets in my home, as I live in an apartment. But, whenever I dog sit my German shepherd at at my dad’s house, I have an easy routine for them. Walk around 10 am, and I feed them once daily around 5 pm. With lots of playtime in between.
About: I have owned two dogs in my life, both of which were raised as puppies. Daisy, my first dog, developed cancer in the last year of her life, and I cared for her deeply until the end. I gave her endless love and medical attention during the especially hard times, and am thankful she was able to pass away peacefully in my home. I currently work part-time from home. I am typically home most of the day and can give attention to your pet throughout the day or let them chill if they need a break. I have a small fenced front porch for a dog to get outside time or sunbathe. I am a big dog lover and like to play and cuddle animals in my care. I want to make sure the dog is comfortable around me while they are in my care, so I like to take the time to get to know them and their personalities so that I can give them the best care.
About: Prior to moving to the west coast, I took care of a senior cat with diabetes and gave subcutaneous insulin shots and brought him to vet visits. Shortly after I turned to fostering kittens (3-7months) through a local rescue. I took care of them at my condo, fed them according to special diet/medication needs, and socialized them with friends and roommates. After moving to SF, I had the opportunity to dogsit for my friend's goldendoodle pup (5 months) and loved walking him around Mission Bay parks. We enjoyed greeting baristas at the local coffee shops and getting treats from them! fast forward 2 years, I decided to get my own mini goldendoodle and have cared for and trained him since! We just moved from SF to Culver City/Palms in Sept 2024-- Would love to meet and walk other pups in the neighborhood in need of some exercise and social interactions :) I love walking pups in the morning and at lunch time to stretch their legs and give them snuggles and pets. I find that it helps me stay super productive all day!! I would be happy to walk/feed/play with pups when their owner(s) are out of town and take photos of them during their walks and share them with their owners while they are away :)
About: I have a lifelong history with dogs of all sizes—small, medium, and large—as well as cats. I’ve personally owned and cared for a range of dog breeds, from energetic Border Collies and Boxers to affectionate Shih Tzus and Maltipoos. I’m confident handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, always focusing on making them feel safe, secure, and loved. I’ve also had cats of my own and cared for many others over the years, with personalities ranging from shy and independent to playful and affectionate. I understand the unique needs of cats and how to approach them with patience and respect. In addition to pet ownership, I’ve fostered a variety of animals—including a mama dog with a full litter of puppies, senior dogs needing extra care, and even feral rescues learning to trust. These experiences have taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust, and create a calm, comforting environment. Whether it’s basic puppy training or gentle senior care, I treat every animal like my own—with kindness, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I prioritize pets’ needs by offering flexible drop-in visits and dog walking services that align with their schedules. Each visit is thoughtfully planned to ensure timely meals, stimulating walks, and engaging playtime. Whether it’s a morning stroll or an evening check-in, I adapt to each pet’s unique rhythm, providing consistent care that promotes their well-being and comfort. In both my home and clients’ homes, I maintain a secure and nurturing environment for pets. Familiar routines are respected to provide a sense of stability, and I monitor each pet’s behavior to address any signs of stress or discomfort promptly. Trust is built through consistent, compassionate care, open communication with pet owners, and a commitment to treating every animal with the respect and love they deserve. Whether administering medications, following specific dietary needs, or simply offering a comforting presence, I strive to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel confident in their choice of caregiver.

3. Ari J.
“If you need someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about pets, Ari is the one to call! He’s been taking care of my dog since he was a puppy, and cat Juno, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better person to look after them. Not only does he provide a safe and loving home when they’re with him, but he’s also an incredible dog trainer. My dog Milo has improved so much thanks to his training, and Juno gets just as much love and attention. It’s clear that Ari truly cares about animals, and I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in great hands.”

5. Moses F.
“Moses is hands down one of the kindest, most dedicated and most competent individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I understand that that might sound like a rote response but during the two seasons of intense television work we've gotten to do together, he's handled calls, calendars and various iterations of the sky falling without flinching for a second. He is professional and honest and, most importantly, communicative. He's also got a great personality and approaches everything with warmth and optimism. Television can be a soul crushing industry and he starts everyday with the same smile he manages to leave with. On top of that, he took care of our showrunner's tortoise for about a year. Moses drove from Culver City all the way to Toluca Lake every single day (yes, including weekends) rain or shine or fires to take care of that very sensitive dinosaur. He catered the tortoise's daily shelter based off of weather, prepared healthy food, cleaned up after the tortoise and sent pictures to our showrunner. If any issues came up with tortoise, he alerted our showrunner in a calm and considerate way. Tortoise is now living splendidly on some tortoise rescue farm, healthy and happy because of the care Moses put towards him. And this was all while being an assistant for a working television showrunner. There are few people I would trust the care of my pets with more than Moses. I am happy to give any more testimony if needed, but for now I will keep it short and sweet and say that this kid rocks.”
