“Keitel was amazing with our nervous rescue 80 lb German shepherd! He’s a natural with pups and gave very timely updates along with cute photos. 10/10 recommend!”

Jason K.

“Vanessa is very sweet and our doggies love her. Also, she comes ON TIME and with a smile. She takes pride in her important job (we trust her with the lives of our most precious furry kids). She takes lots of photos and provides details as to if they peed etc which is important to know. I highly recommend her to anyone that loves and adores their pets. Trusting someone these days is hard so that is why I am taking the time to write a review for her. She is terrific. Connie (Santa Monica)”

About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, from my own dogs and cats, to those of friends and neighbors, and now I do it professionally part time. I work from home and my husband is retired so our flexible schedules allow us to spend quality time with your pet during the day, for overnight boarding, and extended stays. We provide a quiet, loving environment, making us a good fit for animals who are anxious about being left alone, or seniors who need constant care or medication. We do not leave dogs by themselves during their stay with us. Since we live in an upstairs apartment, dogs that good match for us are fairly quiet and well behaved and can settle down between play and walk time. But I'm happy to do drop ins and walks for puppies and rambunctious pups! All pets can make themselves at home, are allowed on the furniture, and can sleep in our king size bed with us if they want to (so far everyone has!). We have doggie stairs for little ones, lots of clean, comfy blankets, as well as balls and toys to play with. Our place has a security screen door and the window screens are wired so cats can safely sit and watch birds and squirrels in the trees. We also LOVE to walk and are happy to provide as many outside breaks as necessary, as well as long energetic walks for dogs who enjoy exercise. **Pick-up and/or Drop-off** is available for an additional fee. Price depends on distance. If interested in this service please inquire and I can add the fee to your invoice. Since I work from home, I am always here to pay attention to animals throughout the day. I am able to go outside as often as necessary, and can take dogs for many potty breaks, several short walks and one or two long energetic walks if needed. Pups who prefer to nap and snuggle most of the day are fine too. Having animals around me makes the days better! I have cared for young to senior dogs and cats, and have experience with special diets and administering medications, including pills, liquids, transdermals, subcutaneous injections and fluids. I am patient with old and shy pets and I'm happy to walk dogs in a stroller or front pack if needed. My apartment is also a safe place for cats with lots of securely screened windows for bird watching, and a security screen door they can look through. I and I am a licensed and insured pet care business.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages. I currently foster cats and kittens, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, administering medication, and socialization. I have experience regularly walking both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and walking styles, whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I love spending time with animals and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a recent graduate from Pepperdine University currently on summer break before beginning graduate studies, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets whenever best fits into your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your dog’s energy levels and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routing as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and comfort level. Whether they are outgoing or more reserved, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that you pet is happy and well cared for. As a cat foster and lifelong pet owner, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and ensuring pets stay safe, comfortable, and stress-free.

“Todd is an incredible professional and very empathetic sitter. With his flexible cancellation policy and his considerate approach, I always know my dog is in good hands with Todd. Grateful to have Todd on a weekly schedule, he’s the best!”

Dominic D.

“Prompt response. Very caring and shows she cares for dogs. Birutė is very personable, very diligent in following instructions and shows she is committed to taking good care of my pup. She was punctual, sent me quick feedback about her contact with my dog, asked questions appropriately. I would highly recommend!”

Cristina A.

“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: I have loved animals my whole life and grew up with a Bearded Collie as our family dog, which gave me early experience caring for pets and understanding their needs. I also helped raise my sister’s Golden Retriever, who is now 3 years old, from the puppy stage through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many friends while they’ve been away, caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals — making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins fit naturally into my routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to work with each pet’s specific needs and schedule while also keeping owners updated so they feel comfortable and informed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible while their owner is away. Having grown up with a family dog and helped raise my sister’s Golden Retriever, I’m very comfortable around dogs of different energy levels and temperaments. I’ve also cared for both dogs and cats for friends over the years, and I understand how important trust and communication are. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pets and home with care and respect.

“Excellent dog walker. Responsive and helpful.”

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, including puppies, seniors and hyper active dogs. I love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood or simply relaxing with company, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I take the time to follow feeding schedules, walking preferences, medication instructions and any special requests to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My English bulldog has to be tucked into his bed every night, so I know a bit about high-maintenance pups haha. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe environment where your pet feels happy and cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel confident, comfortable, and stress-free. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, even early mornings, late nights, and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating dog walks and playtime into my daily routine is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for a pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules and your additional requests. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time, keeping dogs safely leashed and aware of their surroundings. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment. Trust is essential when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep communication open and provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: You know the pet that “doesn't like new people”, is “grumpy”, and “always hides”? Give me ten minutes and that cat or dog will be eating out of my hand. Call it a talent. Call it a gift. I’ve had it since birth, and I’m pleased to share it with discerning pet parents on the west side of Los Angeles. I’ve lived with cats my entire life. My Maine Coon mix Dallas passed at age 15, and since then have fostered 20 cats via the Stray Cat Alliance with every age and temperament. I’ve volunteered at the NKLA adoption center, doing enrichment and writing/shooting adoption videos. I’ve also served as Marketing Director at the Paw Project, the only animal rights organization dedicated to outlawing cat declawing. I've lived with dogs for shorter periods, and am most comfortable with smaller to medium-sized dogs. Cats: I have experience administering probiotics, pills, liquid medicine, eye drops, and injections. Dogs: I have less experience administering medication, but am happy to follow specific directions. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm currently working part time with flexibility; my schedule should easily mesh with yours. I understand that some pets are on more of an exact schedule and I'm happy to honor that. Physical safety: Having hosted certain foster pets who rush the door or otherwise attempt escape, I'm accustomed to ensuring all doors and windows are secured and triple checking escape routes when entering/exiting the home. Medical safety: I'll be on the lookout for any behaviors indicating stress or illness, including monitoring the litter box/poop activity and for cats having the Feline Grimace Scale handy. Please leave your vet's information in case of an emergency. My backup is the VEG Veterinary Emergency Group in Santa Monica. Emotional safety: I know what to do and how to show up energetically in order for your pet to feel safe with me. Being a cat foster parent I've delved deeply into Jackson Galaxy's videos and books. Pets are extremely sensitive and intuitive, and any stress can cause illness - we'll have neither stress or illness on my watch.
