About: Moving to LA meant leaving my family dogs back home. Missing my four-legged besties led me to the world of pet sitting. My experience ranges from caring for Golden Retrievers to Bengal cats. With love and respect at the forefront, I take care of every pet as if it is one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, playtime, walks, or just being present for companionship. Because of this flexibility, I’m more than willing to adjust and mold my schedule to meet each owner’s specific needs and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience by sticking closely to each pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully so pets feel secure and at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything consistent for the pet, which helps reduce anxiety while their owner is away. On top of that, I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments as needed and ensuring they’re happy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“She did a wonderful job with our cats. Spent time playing with them and sent a lot of great photos. It made being away from home much easier.”

About: With over 15 years of experience in dog walking and personalized pet sitting, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies and dogs for rescue organizations, in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every dog is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks or a slower, more relaxed pace for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries, and use positive, gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship, and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues, and keep their environment clean and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates after each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing a safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.

“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She arrived on time, sent me cute photos of the pets, and did everything I asked to be done. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Rossana is amazing. She did really well with my dog, took plenty of pictures, and followed the schedule exactly. She was willing to meet up beforehand (twice!). I will be rebooking with her every time I need a dog sitter, highly recommend!”

Rob A.

“Thank you for caring for my kitties and sending me the detailed account of your visit. I appreciate your genuine and caring approach when caring for my 2 favorite fur babies that mean the world to me. It eases my mind to know they are in good care when I am away from home. :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight years old, walking, feeding, cleaning and caring for both my own dogs and others' (family, friends, neighborhood dogs, hired sitters) dogs when needed. My fiancee and I have fostered dogs, mostly senior dogs to be specific, for over three years while managing careers and our own lovely Sheepadoodle. I can be your dog's best friend and I can give you the peace of mind that your furry friend is with a very attentive sitter/walker. I'm currently working part-time in a job that is very flexible, so I'm mostly available for your pups! I'm available for overnight stays seven nights a week, and currently there are no firm day-time issues to schedule around for shorter jobs like walks and play visits. I ensure that the pet is well-tended to, supervising it with very close eyes if needed. Additionally, I ensure that the space is dog-friendly and safe for the dog to roam around. Any doors that need to be closed, are in fact closed; and anything that the dog could get into or break will be safely hidden for the mean time.

About: I've been a Mom of 3 furry dog tails (2 small street dogs and 1 husky) when i was 18yo till 21yo, at the age of 25 I become a Mom for adopted rescue boy of jack russell and rat terrier mix for lovely 4.5 years; during that time occasionally I would take care of my friend Husky at my house, and another friends Cats at their households. I love being around furry friends, play with them, take them on a very very long walks. My schedule is very flexible. I work at coffee shop 6 hours shifts; usually from 8AM till 2PM, rarely from 2PM till 7PM in Playa del Rey. I'm an early morning bird, so waking up around 6AM it's my normal. At doggies household my first priority is to follow the set of rules and guidance from owners. Walks, food at scheduled time. Making sure that pet is comfy, have enough attention and affection.

When i am with your pets they will always be my number 1 priority.

“So grateful for Brianna checking in on my kitty while I was out of town! My friend last minute wasn’t able to do check-ins and Brianna was so quick to respond and accept on short notice! She checked in during her visits and sent pictures even if my cat was hiding. She went above and beyond with resetting my Furbo so I could see my cat during my trip too. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your cat sitting needs and will absolutely be rebooking with her for future long trips!”

“Danielle is incredibly kind, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also clearly very comfortable and experienced handling larger dogs. My 140 lb pup was happy and well exercised when I got home. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!

About: I have a passion for animal care! I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including raising my own Australian Lab Henry, caring for my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, and even volunteer work helping facilitate equine therapy. I can’t wait to meet and treat your best friend! I am a full-time student in-between programs at the moment, so my days are largely free. This leaves most of the week open for looking after your pet! I do not have the facilities to keep or look after your dog in my own studio apartment, but I am happy to watch over your pet in their own home or take them on walks! I can easily clean up after your pet, follow precise feeding directions, take them on adventures of their own (from the sidewalk to the park!) and crate them up at the end of the day.

“Alyssa was great with my two cats, she even made my more timid cat at ease and comfortable. She kept me updated with lots of pics and a detailed report! I will be booking again :)”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was old enough to walk one. From growing up with a beagle mix named Scooter to my parent’s golden, Dani, dogs have always been part of my life. I’ve lived with and looked after a wide range of breeds, including Shelties (Indi and Shelty), Goldens, Doodles and pups with special health needs. Your pup will share a home with me, my wife and our lovable rescue, Mookie, a 3 year old spunky tiny girl. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet routine and gentle care, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and creating a calm, safe environment. Our previous dog, Phoebe, suffered from seizures and heart disease which prepared me to act quickly in dire circumstances. I treat every dog as if they’re my own—with patience, affection, and respect. I’d love to help you give your pup the best care while you’re away! I freelance and my fiancee works from home three days a week, so between us two your pup will have a lot of company and attention! Other than days which we both happen to have busy schedules (which I will note or block off), we have a very flexible schedule. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness come first. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding routines, medications, walk schedules, and any special needs—to help your dog feel at ease and cared for like one of our own. At home, we have a calm, pet-friendly apartment shared with our 3-year-old Maltese mix, Mookie. She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and great with other dogs. We’re happy to schedule a meet-and-greet in advance to make sure your pup and Mookie are a good match. While we don’t have a yard, we go on walks and make sure your dog gets exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and in good hands.

“Megan was great! Great communicator. No worries. So glad to have found her.”

About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.

“Maria and Ben took such amazing care of Aspen. This was our first time using rover because it’s been so hard finding someone we trust with our baby and they went above and beyond. We got constant updates and it was so comforting to know she was being loved and having the best time without us.”
