“She did an amazing job taking Valkyrie on walks, being on time and communicating regularly updates with pictures, videos and msgs. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Valkyrie is looking forward to her next walks with Lexy. Thank you again.”

About: Hello my name is Brooke! I’ve spent years caring for and training my own dog, which has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, communication, and positive reinforcement. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own; making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I'm currently working part-time which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets and spend quality time with them. My schedule allows me to do walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I always make sure pets get the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine. In my home, dogs have a calm, safe space to relax, regular walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure they always have fresh water, a cozy spot to rest, and plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always treat each home and pet with respect, keeping things clean and making sure your furry friend feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Janelle was very responsive and able to accept a last minute booking. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep our appointment with her but definitely keeping her in mind for the future.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I was taught that the animals eat first because they can’t speak. I enjoy spending time with animals. They are great company I believe petting an animal can lower your blood pressure. Your pets need extra affection while you’re gone. I’m there for that. I am a retired mom of self-sufficient teenagers. My flexible schedule allows me to do overnights and weekends and multi night care. I look forward to these jobs. I’m experienced with crating. I love some dog walking exercise. I also really enjoy spending time in a backyard as long as it’s fenced in and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a long time for neighbors, friends, and coworkers! I’d love to meet your babies and provide whatever they need for their different personalities and needs! I’m currently working part time and would have a lot of time during the week for overnight stays, walking, drop in visits or whatever you need! I’m very loving and have a lot of experience with different types of dogs and cats. More than happy to help with more skittish animals or those more standoffish to people.

About: I grew up caring for a wide range of pets such as dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and rodents. My mom loved taking animals in and giving them a loving home. I’ve always had a love for providing the best care and attention to animals in need as well and have helped rescue a few animals with my mom growing up. I am currently applying for grad schools and am at home full time, therefore I will be able to give your furry or feather friends all the love and attention they need! I currently have very flexible hours as I am at home full time so I am able to provide the best care possible for you and your pets! I have one kitty that is very friendly. She can be separated from your pet if needed. I would walk your pet however many times needed a day and will go based on your feeding schedule needs. I love taking pets out to the park, beach, or runs if requested!

About: Ive had furry best friends since the day I was born, I know how special they are! Making other people and pets happy makes me happy. I currently have open availability, I’m taking college courses online and summer is approaching. I’m indifferent to getting up early or staying up late for pet care. I have 3 dogs, one super needy frenchie and two crazy golden retrievers. I also have a black kitty. I’ve seen it all and done it all from house sitting for weeks to a simple walk around the neighborhood.

“She's prompt, amiable, knowledgeable, responsible, and a dog lover. The dogs came back healthy and happy. I'll use her services for all of our needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and my experiences have ranged from puppies to senior dogs with special medical needs and disabilities. I’m an animal lover and have love and respect for all living beings. I do my best to make sure your fur baby is comfortable, attended to and loved. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I will have all the time available to take care of your beloved dog. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop in visits and walking. My home has a roomy, fenced in backyard and I have a super friendly pup at home. There is plenty of space to play, run and sniff! I do not let the dogs go outside unattended. They are always supervised to ensure safety. I’m also able to crate your dog whenever needed if that is preferred.

“I can’t recommend Julia enough - she walked my two dogs, followed all my care instructions and sent me detailed pics, videos and descriptions about her time with them. Her communication is amazing! I’m an instant repeat client!”

Jennifer B.

“Sara did a great job! It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she walks. She stopped by before our first walk with her so that the dogs could acclimate a bit. Highly recommended!”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn't a side job—it's my full-time profession. As a professional dog trainer, I bring a deeper understanding of canine behavior, communication, and safety than the average sitter. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and personalized attention throughout the day. My goal isn't just to provide a place for your dog to stay—it's to give them a safe, enriching experience where they feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely at home. Hi! I'm Carter, a full-time professional dog trainer with over four years of experience in dog training, boarding, and behavior. Working with dogs isn't a side job—it's my career and my passion. Because I train dogs full-time from my home, I'm able to seamlessly integrate every dog into my daily routine. Your dog won't spend hours alone waiting for me to get home from work. Instead, they'll receive consistent supervision, companionship, exercise, and individualized attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under close supervision. At night, dogs sleep in my room with me, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and part of the family. As a professional trainer, I understand canine body language and behavior, allowing me to safely care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog is outgoing, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll tailor my care to help them feel safe and at home. My goal is to provide a structured, loving environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. * 🐾 Full-time professional dog trainer with over 4 years of hands-on experience. * 🏡 Dogs are supervised throughout the day—I work from home full-time. * 🌳 Fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. * ❤️ Dogs are treated like family and sleep in my room, not in isolated kennels. * 👀 Experienced in reading canine body language and preventing conflicts before they happen. * 🦴 Structured daily routine with exercise, enrichment, play, and rest. * 🐕 Care is tailored to each dog's personality, age, energy level, and individual needs. * 📸 Frequent photo and video updates so you can stay connected during your dog's stay. * 🤝 Safety, trust, and clear communication are my highest priorities. * 🛡️ Calm, clean, and low-stress home environment designed to help dogs feel comfortable and secure.

“Anna did an amazing job with our senior dog. She sent daily pictures and updates and It was so nice not to have to worry about anything while we were away. Thanks so much, Anna! I will be in touch for when we go out of town next. Thanks for the sweet plant and card as well. You are the best!”

About: What sets me apart is my deep commitment to following your exact routine. I am attentive to detail whether your pet requires a strict medication schedule, extra potty breaks, or highly specific care instructions. I truly love animals and focus on giving them my undivided attention, plenty of affection, and the dedicated time they deserve. I am able to care for animals at least 5 times out of the week for 4-6 hours. Depending on the days required, I do have school at certain times a week. I have hobbies and obligations to do as well. I believe 4-6 hours is time that I do have depending on the day of course as mentioned. I could possibly even spend a full day if needed. Again this depends on the day of the week and month. The reason I can’t take in animals at my own home is because I simply don’t have enough space or else I totally would! Also, the baby of the bunch doesn’t do well with new comers. I feed my cats at least 3 times a day they beg like they haven’t eaten in days I might add. They often let me know when they want things by getting my attention and running to the bowl or to their toys or the door to be let out. They have a litter box with cat pellets so It doesn’t stink up the entire house. Laser pointer sessions and dangling cat toys are their favorite. Yes of course the box the cat trees come in are more fun than the actual tree. Cat trees are replaced often, my cats love to chat with me when I talk they talk back. They love wet food every twice a week with many ingredients. My dad’s dog I take care of while he’s on 1 year vacation loves hiking trails that I usually walk on haha. He prefers the best of the best kinds of dog food won’t eat anything else! He’s a good boy and they’re sometimes good cats since they like to knock things over every once in a while or try and pick at my food when I’m on a quick bathroom break. All in all it’s easy to take care of animals in my opinion my cats were not easy to take care of as kittens they needed a lot done and one of them always had issues with her bladder and glands. She’s better now thanks to God and me for the outrageous bills. I’d do it for every animal if I could but I just don’t have enough resources or money to do so. I do love animals and they deserve joy, a wide environment, and amazing care while they’re living and breathing.

About: I am an experienced dogsitter/walker. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem to me! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. I'm currently working one day a week which means that weekdays at any time are highly flexible for me. I am flexible on most Sundays as well. I have a driver's license and personal car so I can drive anywhere needed! (Los Angeles County & Ventura county acceptable) I am willing to housesit, walk, play, feed, give meds, etc.

About: Hi there! My wife and I are lifelong pet lovers-we both grew up in homes filled with animals and couldn't imagine life without them. For us, pets are true family members, and we care for every dog we host as if they were our own. I work part-time, and my wife is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so one (or both) of us is always home to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and playtime throughout the day. We're available any day of the week, and our schedule is very flexible. ⏰ Drop-offs and pick-ups are usually best between 8:00AM and 10:00 PM, as we adjust our routine around our baby's schedule-but we're happy to discuss other times if needed (additional fees may apply). ‼️Just a heads-up: our Daycare is designed for stays up to 8 hours. If your pup needs to stay longer (around 10–12 hours), especially with very early drop-off or late pick-up, an extra fee will apply. This helps us be fairly compensated for the additional time your dog will be with us.‼️ 🐶 We only host one Rover family at a time to ensure your pet receives our full attention and care. If you have two dogs, we're more than happy to welcome both! Otherwise, your pup will be our only guest during their stay. 👶🏻Our baby also adores dogs! Just let us know if your pup is comfortable around children so we can make sure it's the right fit. 🔒Our home is always secure-doors are locked, and all outdoor time is fully supervised. We have both a fenced and an open yard for play, and we run HVAC 24/7 to keep the indoor temperature comfortable year-round. Feel free to book a Meet & Greet or message us with any questions! Bonus: We also speak Spanish!

Weekend schedule fluctuates so please just message me and I'd be happy to make it work I will provide excellent care for your pet and ensure that they are safe and have fun. I will treat them as if they were my own and give them the same love and attention that you do.

“Angelo met us 1/2 hr prior to very first scheduled walk time with both our dogs. We all had a meet and greet. Discussed our dogs with him. Angelo seems gentle, patient and friendly. Our dogs responded positively during meet & greet. We felt confident with Angelo & look forward to scheduling more doggie was.”

About: I'm extremely kind to dogs and cats. Absolute pet lover. Had experience raising dogs before. Pets that I used to interacted with loved me so much. I work from home and do not have a 9-5 job. My time is so flexible so I will be with pet whenever possible during the day. I have big fenced yard and fence for pet in my house. Safe and big gated community to walk dogs. Toys available for pets. My house is extremely big over 6000 sqft.

About: I’ve had very much experience sitting for family and friends pets throughout the past 6 years. I do also have experience working with animals through volunteering at an animal shelter for about a year and a half. As of now, I am working in a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant. I am working my way to become a registered veterinary technician! I do have a dog of my own, he is two years old so he is very energetic! I always make sure to take him on walks before I go to school or work! My grandparents do also have a dog which I will always check on and walk as well! Not only do I have my own personal pet care but I also care for pets while I’m working as a veterinary assistant. My dog does get his regular walks and playtime since he’s still a puppy. I always assure he’s well fed, has fresh water and will sometimes give him specific enrichment toys. I always assure the same goes for my grandparents dog, although she is on the older side, I care for her very well.
