About: Hey my name is Taleem I’ve cared for pets my whole life basically from turtles chinchillas and bunny’s to lap dogs mastiffs and horses I’m well experienced and genuinely care about your pets well being. Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete. I’m currently in my sophomore year and just looking for extra ways of income and caring for animals has always came naturally to me, and I came to love it at a young age so why not do what you love and get paid.

Danielle is a wonderful and trustworthy sitter. She took great care of my pets while on vacation and handled my cat’s medical need (daily inhaler) like a professional. This was my second booking with Danielle and will definitely book her again!

About: I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 1.5 years, but I've also always dog-sat for family and friends. I've sat with dogs from small to big sizes, younger to older dogs, and I've dealt with dogs that have had many different medical issues, including providing medication and insulin. I'm ready for anything, and I'm excited to meet some new furry friends. Pet care is part of my everyday life both at work and at home. I currently work at a dog kennel, so I’m experienced with feeding schedules, exercise routines, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. On top of that, I have three dachshunds of my own at home, which means my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, training, and plenty of cuddles. Because of this, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do at work; it’s built into my lifestyle. Becoming a public dog sitter is an exciting next step for me, since it allows me to take the skills I’ve built in a kennel setting and apply them in a more personal way, giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. In my own home, caring for pets is a constant part of daily life. I have three dachshunds, so I’m used to keeping up with regular feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and play. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and included as part of the family, whether that means structured walks or just cozy cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attentive approach while respecting each pet’s individual routine and needs. I stick to the feeding, walking, and play schedules the owner provides, and I take time to get to know the pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. My goal is always to make the transition smooth for both the pet and the owner, giving pets the same love and structure I give my own dogs.

I work with dogs multiple days a week and outside of work I regularly help friends and family with their dogs. Dog care fits naturally into my daily life and it’s not only just a part of my routine, but something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority! When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own! I always follow the owners instructions closely, from feeding routines to walk schedules and any special needs.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid. My neighbors, friends, and family would always reach out to me to care for their dogs while away or just to walk and let them out on a busy day. I have some experience training dogs, grooming them, and giving medications. I have also helped foster dogs! I am active and love to walk and play with pups but can also act as a great companion or company! I work 3 days out of the week. I am looking to care for pets on the days that I am not working. My schedule differs each week. I am looking for something to keep me busy and entertained on those days! I am safe and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable coming into your home and handling your pet and of course cleaning up their messes! I love being outside, playing and being active! But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.

Alysa has a great deal of important behavioral dog experience, which was evident in our meet and greet. She is very calm, gentle and kind with our dogs. They approved very quickly, even the one who is very one person oriented and typically standoffish with strangers. We appreciate Alysa's flexibility with our schedules. I would absolutely recommend Alysa to petsit/dogwalk! Thanks Alysa!!!

Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!
