About: I’ve had large and smalls dogs my entire adult life. Im experienced caring for puppies as young as 8 weeks old in addition to caring for elderly dogs with dementia and walking issues. I’ve watched my friends dogs and love sending picture updates. Im also a runner and happy to run with your dog if they enjoy that. I am retired so have a very open and flexible schedule. I am a big walker and runner that loves dogs so this would enhance my routine. As a guest in your home, I will follow whatever routine you currently have for your pup in addition to providing multiple updates/pics per day if prefered.

About: Hi, I’m Jonathan! I grew up in a home known throughout the neighborhood for dog sitting and for always opening our doors to any animal in need. At any moment, our home was filled with at least four dogs, a bird room, and a rotating mix of rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and lizards—all equally cherished members of the family. I started taking on real responsibilities for their care at around 8 years old and caring for animals has been an immensely rewarding part of my life ever since. Today, my own home is just as full of love: we have two wonderful Labradors (one senior who needs a little help moving, one energetic and reactive youngster), a short-haired cat, and a newborn son. My experience ranges from caring for senior dogs to managing dogs with special behavioral needs, including reactivity. Because of that, I’m especially attentive to safety and never allow dogs to interact without full owner consent and ample distance. Priority #1 will always remain making sure your dog is safe at all times. I always stay aware of surroundings and respect every dog’s comfort level with people, sounds, and other animals. I’m happy to reinforce basic commands during walks, offer structured play during drop-ins, or simply keep things calm and comforting for your pet. Whether your dog enjoys a slow sniff around the neighborhood or needs more structured activity, I’ll follow your lead to give them exactly what they need. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and responsibility I give my own. You can expect clear communication, safe practices, and genuine respect for you and your animal's needs and routines. It's important that both parties feel comfortable so please reach out to schedule a meet and greet prior so we can do our best to make sure that we both feel it's a good fit. I am available for walks and check-ins anytime morning to evening from 6:00am until 6:00pm with the exception of Sundays. If there's something outside of those time frames you're needing covered please reach out and I'll do my best to see if I can accommodate. When I’m in your home or out on a walk with your dog, safety is always my top priority. I never allow dogs to interact with other animals or humans unless I have been given clear consent. I will always maintain safe distances from others by shortening the leash when needed or when avoiding certain hazards. During drop-ins, I respect your home as if it were my own. I follow your instructions carefully, double checking to be sure gates and doors are secure, and will always be sure that your pet is comfortable before I leave. I know that every home and dog has its own rhythm, and I make it a point to adapt to that, not disrupt it. On walks, I stay mindful of the ever-changing environment of a city at all times and stay attentive to not only our surroundings but the body language of your pup and how the route is impacting them. That means avoiding overly stimulating routes for reactive dogs or taking a path with a few more flowers to give more good sniff time for dogs that like to take their time walking. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I tailor each visit to their personality and your preferences.

“Amy was quick to respond, detail oriented, punctual and caring for todays walk. She was so gracious about me booking a service last minute and very understanding. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Arzu is a dog whisperer through and through. She has been professional, consistent, kind, and responsive. Our two pittie mixes Yoshi and Lyric adore Arzu and they have been happier and calmer since they have been spending time with Arzu. Our family is certain that Arzu is a true gift to furry friends everywhere. Arzu - thank you for everything!”

About: After growing up with spaniels; I now own a precious Shiba Inu who loves having dog friends around! I have 3 years of experience working at a doggy day care where I would be in charge of sometimes 50 dogs at once in a fence outside. Currently I have a secured fenced in yard and doggy door so pups can play in grass and use the bathroom whenever they feel. We love to go for walks with dog packs and maybe do an occasional hike. I also have quite a bit of experience in professional grooming, if you want to reunite with a happy clean pup, we can talk about adding that service on. :) I am organized, clean, responsible and communicate well. I will send photos and bring you ease knowing your fur-baby is safe and in responsible loving care. I work my regular 2pm-8pm weekdays. This frees me up to dedicate my weekends and weekday mornings to my side hobby that I love: looking after more furry friends. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly pup to keep your pup company. I am an attentive, assertive, responsible, loving guardian. I keep my environment open and clean.

“Birutė was amazing! She met the dogs before hand which was great. Was very communicative before annd during this visit, which made me ant ease. the dogs were happy and fed when we got home. 🤍”

About: Im physically fit and love to be outside and take pups with me. All they want is to be with you and receive love and I’m here for it! Currently my work is slow and when i do work, i work from home and pet care (especially walks) give me a nice break from the computer. They also give lots of loving support just by being close. I treat them like they are my own. They can hang with me and they’ll receive love and attention. We also have a small outdoor space for them to spend time in the sun or play.

“Jordan was the BEST!!! Both my dogs loved her so much! She was in constant communication and left us lovely pictures. Highly recommend Jordan and we will definitely use her services again ?”

About: My love for all animals goes back to my childhood. We always had dogs and later I spent time in Malibu working with a veterinarian helping with intake, overnight care, etc. I also work as a Wag! Dog Walker & caretaker. I just love caring for animals and I really feel a strong connection to each and every one of them. When I am caring for pets I give my full and undivided attention to them at all times. I am very intuitive as to when they need walking, playing, and resting time.

About: * I definitely can board cats at my place no problem! I love kitties and all animals! I can also do cat visits at your place.* #catsitting #catpetcare #catnanny #housesitting #overnightpetsitting #Boarding #Doggydaycare #overnightpetcare I am an immense animal lover & have pet sitting experience for over 19 years. I have wonderful references. I love nature, animals, the sun. I practice yoga on a regular basis. I am a loving person that is intuitively in tuned with animals. I am also EXTREMELY responsible & taking care of another persons beloved pet/family member & home very seriously. My goal is for you to come home to a very happy pet!! I treat the Pet that I'm taking care of as if he or she were my own. I give them all the love that they need and want unless of course they need space. Then I respect that. 💖 I respect all animals as beautiful sentient beings. They have a very special place in my heart. I am always sad when the boarding or pet sit is finished. Because I know I'll miss them terribly! And at the same time I am happy that they will be reunited with their pet parent. PLEASE READ; Doggie daycare I can take your fur baby to the park which is a block away and I live in an apartment. Palisades Park in Santa Monica is just a block away from me. I also need at least a day or two in advanced notice to do doggy day care because I would need to meet you and your pup a day or two before to see if it's a fit. With overnight pet sitting at a client's house, I don't do any less than three nights. And I can do much longer stays at a person's house no problem! I take Low to Medium energy doggies for the price listed. I don't take high energy doggies. I do,do medications for your pets no problem but I DO NOT GIVE SHOTS. For walking dogs, I DO NOT WALK DOGGIES THAT ARE HARD PULLERS.UNLESS THEY ARE TINY DOGS 10 POUNDS OR UNDER,THEN I MIGHT CONSIDER IT AFTER A TEST WALK. Usually hard pullers need to be trained to not pull so hard. 💕💕💕 If your doggy pulls a little bit that's okay. That's not an issue at all. Thank you for understanding! I am able to board smaller animals as in mice, rats, turtles Etc. I love All animals so they will all get love! I am self-employed with other work as well so it's easy for me to spend quality time with your pets! Flexible schedule on my part. #catcare #housesitting #overnightpetsitting #kittycare I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible! I have plenty of time to love and pay attention and enjoy your pets company! For boarding I live in an apartment that has a security door. Beautiful wonderful animal company that I adore! They are so authentic and pure-hearted! With overnights at people's homes since my schedule is flexible they get alot of my time which I'm more than happy to give since my favorite thing to do is to spend time with pets!💖 Pets also need time to get used to the pet sitter like myself so I am very patient and kind and loving to them and their process of getting to know me. Patience and love is the key. Oh, and treats! 😹😹😹🐶🐶🐶

“Laura is so sweet and Donald loves her! She made time to meet with me before officially booking a walk and even brought her dog Rue. My dog has anxiety but he warmed up to her right away! I highly recommend her.”

“Megan graciously accepted my very last-minute request to walk our dog. She was very responsive and even cleaned up after my dog. I would definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommended!”

About: In an ideal world I would live on a farm with cats, dogs, horses, goats, and a bunch of chickens. But for now I live in Santa Monica and I would love to help take care of your fuzzy family member. I have experience with puppies, seniors and all ages in between. Having had a senior dog of my own who had disabilities, I understand the love they all need. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My pup Bogart and I also walk a few miles every day, we'd love to have your pup join us. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I walk two times a day to the Palisades Park and the beach, I also go to the Big Blue Bus dog park where they can run and play freely. I can also have overnight stays with a pup who gets along with cats and my little pug mix, Bogart. My gatos, Ziggy and Iman, have always had pup friends and get along with them splendidly. We have lots of space, doggy beds and peaceful vibes. I have plenty of space, dog beds, a relaxing environment, toys, snuggle/playtime time.
