About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.

“Jasmine is the best dog sitter. This is my second over night booking with her for my 2 dogs. She loves them like her own! I don't have to worry about them at all I know they're in great hands! I can't recommend her enough!!! My dogs LOVE her and are sad when the stay is over.”

“Jennifer is great! Followed instructions and provided consistent updates. Super patient and attentive to my dog’s needs. I’m really excited to have found another reliable sitter.”

“Natalie went above and beyond caring for my fivemonth-old Whippet puppy, Dasi! Dasi has A LOT of energy and requires plenty of attention, and Natalie was absolutely amazing with her. She spent the weekend in our home, kept me updated along the way, and was incredibly attentive to everything Dasi needed. She took Dasi out to play, kept her active, played with her throughout the day, and made sure she always had fresh water and her meals. I could tell Dasi was getting so much love and attention the entire time I was away. I even came home to a cleaner place than I left! I honestly couldn’t have picked a better person to spend the weekend with Dasi. It felt like Dasi had a better holiday than I did 😂 Natalie, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl. Dasi absolutely loves you, and I’m so happy we found you. We’ll definitely be working with you again! ❤️”

About: I have consistently been pet and house sitting since I was 15. Friends, family, and neighbors have enthusiastically relied on me for both short term and long term care, and with a variety of pets. I love all animals and have two cats of my own, so I am familiar with the standard practices. I am currently a part time grad student at LMU so my schedule is very flexible. I am open to both short visits and overnight stays and all pets. I’d love to connect and help you out! I’m currently a part time grad student, so my schedule is very flexible and available. I am able to check in with pets multiple times a day and/or also stay overnight. I love to provide my clients with check-in photos and updates as well. If I can I always try to spend some time with the pets and play with them instead of just dropping in. I take safety very seriously and always double check that any doors, fences, and gates are properly secured at the clients home before leaving to ensure any pets don’t get out. I always make sure to leave them in the best environment possible. I am also happy to water and take care of plants/household items during stays if needed.

“Liana took good care of my dog and cat. She was really proactive with communication and would respond anytime I reached out. She sent really cute pictures that clearly showcased their personalities so I could tell they were comfortable. My house was in perfect shape when I got home.”

“Todd was such a huge help with Quincy during our recent out of town trip. We were updated with photos daily, and was receptive to requests for helping keep Quincy (and the entry to the house) clean during a rain storm. We will keep Todd in mind for a future booking with Quincy :)”

About: I’m currently a full time flexible remote work professional in Marina Del rey. I’m able to give your pet love and full attention in my home or yours. I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and fish at different times. I had two cats and two dogs as an adult that have since passed away. My favorite place at a party is with the animals. I’m a full time work from home professional. Mostly M-F days with flexible hours. I’m able to work one on one with my clients to figure out what works the best for you. Able to work anywhere with a WiFi connection and willing to do this at your home or mine to give full time companionship to your pet as needed. If bringing your pet to my home works best, I live in a one bedroom apartment in Marina Del Rey. My building has a dedicated pet area and walkable neighborhood with a small park for daily dog outdoor time. Willing to work with crates, medication or any other special needs

“Deirdre went above and beyond. I had unforeseen circumstances, and she really helped out, by staying an extra 2 hours. She constantly updated throughout the day, and my doggie seemed really happy. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!”

“Morgan was fantastic with our pets! He kept me well-informed, and asked how much contact and how many pictures I wanted while we were away. He was very communicative and so loving towards our animals. The house was in great shape, better than when we left. He was very respectful towards the animals, the house, everything. Our pets were calm and happy when we returned. I would absolutely book him again! Thank you Morgan!”

Joy S.

“Tracy was terrific! She took amazing care of mango taking time from her own day to come meet ahead prior to the days she was booked for to get to know her a little. We will definitely be calling again soon for another play date!”

“Marie is the absolute best! She took such incredible care of my senior dog, Honey, treating her as if she were her own. She has a special way with dogs, providing them with so much love, patience, and attention. I never had to worry for a second because I knew my pup was in the best hands. Marie is trustworthy, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, Marie is the one! Plus, she sends the most amazing pictures. 💗🙏🏼”

About: I am really familiar with large and small dogs since I grew up with dogs and everyone I knew had dogs. I have trained all my dogs with commands and how to sit, shake, roll over. I have lots of patience and love both big and small dogs equally. I am never afraid of dogs.. yes even the ones that bark and can definitely handle the rouge dogs that want to run around and sniff everything. I have also had to administer pills and medicine to dogs so am comfortable doing that. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, whether that means regular walks, drop-ins, or spending the day with them. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. I follow their usual walking and feeding schedule, pay attention to their individual personality and needs, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. I’m also very respectful of your home and will always prioritize your pet’s safety.

About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 6, and she became the love of my life. I cared for her until I was 19. She was my best friend, part of my daily routine, and went everywhere with me. Since then, I’ve had two rescue dogs, Nani (6) and Lupita (2), who are my whole world. My pets are truly family! They sleep with me, have birthday parties, and are treated with all the love and care they deserve. Because I know how hard it is to trust someone with your biggest treasure, I care for every pet as if they were my own. All my friends always leave their dogs with me when they travel because they know how much love and attention I give to every animal. I have experience walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all ages. I’ve also trained my own dogs to follow simple commands like sitting, catching the ball, and peeing on command. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, my first dog had cancer, and I made sure her final years were full of love and comfort. I run my own business from home, so I have a super flexible schedule! I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will always have company, attention, and lots of love. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I don’t host pets in my home because I need to respect my older dog, Nani, she’s super sweet but takes time to get comfortable around new dogs. Instead, I offer house sitting and walks at the client’s home. This way, your pet can stay relaxed in their own space, following their routine and getting all the love and care they need.

“Katherine is always so good with our two huskies! She sends updates and pictures every day, is very on top of walks and exercise, and gives them all the attention they need. She does great administering the many pills our epileptic dog needs and also handles our other dogs reactivity on walks well. The dogs love her and have a great time, and this plus her regular communication always keeps us happy and worry free while away from our dogs. We would highly recommend Katherine to anyone!”
