“Jason has been walking Buddy for three months. From day one, he has been incredibly professional, kind, and reliable. His communication is excellent—he’s always responsive, keeps us updated after every walk, and is quick to accommodate any changes in schedule. Most importantly, Jason takes the absolute best care of our dog, Buddy. It's clear he truly loves animals, and Buddy adores him in return. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and consistently excellent—Jason is your guy!”


“Polina and Michael are the best! They have been helping my elderly mother take her dog for walks a few times a day. They are extremely communicative and lovely people. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. As a lifelong pet owner (currently a proud cat mom to three!), I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. My approach is always loving, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing enrichment through play, walks, and cuddles. Whether it’s making sure your puppy burns off energy with a safe adventure, helping a shy cat feel comfortable, or keeping a senior pet cozy and cared for, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well being will always be my top priorities! Right now, I’m not working, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a completely flexible schedule, which means I can give your pet my full attention—whether that’s early morning feedings, midday play sessions, or evening walks and snuggles. Weekends and weekdays are equally open, so your pet can enjoy consistent, loving care whenever you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their familiar routines, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes or play areas. I make sure doors and gates are secure at all times, keep hazardous items out of reach, and monitor your pet closely during our time together. I believe trust comes from clear communication, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how happy and well-cared-for your pet is while you’re away. Whether I’m giving extra snuggles, providing a stimulating play session, or simply keeping them company, I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Lili is a very kind and thoughtful sitter. She was flexible with us and accommodated some changes to our schedule. She communicated well and always let us know what was going on with our dog while we were away. It was all greatly appreciated. We will definitely be asking her to watch her the next time we go out of town!”


About: ✨ Why Pets (and Parents) Love Me: • 🐶 Animals and babies naturally gravitate toward me • 🌿 Empathic, soothing energy that helps calm nervous pets • 💗 Strong connection with rescues, anxious, or high-vibe pets • 🧘♀️ Intuitive and emotionally present—not just transactional care • 🏡 Local Brentwood sitter who understands the lifestyle and care expectations • 🔐 Reliable, discreet, and flexible for busy schedules ** Your pet’s emotional well-being is just as important to me as their physical care. I show up with love, calm, and genuine connection—always.** I’m currently in a season of flexibility, working part-time while building my creative and soulful projects. That means your pet gets my full presence and attention—no multitasking, no rushing. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding most weekends and weekday afternoons after 12 PM. Whether your pet needs calm companionship or playful movement, I have the time and heart to provide both. In my client’s home: I respect that your home is your pet’s safe space, so I aim to keep their routine exactly as you’ve outlined. This includes feeding at the same times, giving fresh water, administering any medications if needed, and providing regular walks and potty breaks. I also make sure the home is secure before I leave and give plenty of updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make pets feel loved, secure, and engaged — as if their favorite person never left.

“I accidentally gave Robert a bit of a logistical nightmare and he was so flexible, kind, and understanding! Dexter was rambunctious and excited and Robert seemed to easily manage him and calm him down and play with him! SOOO appreciative of his help -- will definitely be requesting again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—starting with Golden Retrievers growing up and, more recently, caring for a gentle Great Dane. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra care, I bring calm confidence, clear communication, and lots of love. I’m experienced with leash walking, feeding routines, administering meds, and giving all the belly rubs your dog deserves. Your pup will be treated like family in my care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I’ve always made time for animals, no matter how busy life gets. I work multiple jobs with shifting schedules, which actually gives me flexibility to care for pets during mornings, evenings, and even midday depending on the day. I plan ahead and prioritize my visits to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a drop-in, walk, or overnight stay, I build my schedule around providing dependable, loving care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I respect your space and keep things clean, tidy, and just as you left them. If I’m hosting in my home, pets get plenty of attention, comfy spots to relax, and a peaceful environment with no overcrowding or chaos. I make sure each pet gets personalized care, from snuggles to structured walks, depending on what they need.

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years, including dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I worked for Wag during college and have always been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I grew up with animals, have a cat of my own, and truly love spending time with pets. I’m now a grad student looking to earn extra income doing something I enjoy—providing safe, loving care for your furry family members! As a grad student with a flexible schedule, I’m available Thursdays through Sundays all day. I love spending that time walking dogs or caring for pets—it’s a great way for me to stay active, get outside, and unwind from school while doing something meaningful. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m committed to making your pet’s day the best part of mine! When providing dog walking services, I always prioritize your pet’s safety and your home’s security. I make sure all doors are securely locked after each visit and always return the key to the lockbox as instructed. I take time to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for on every walk—whether it’s their first stroll with me or part of their regular routine.

“Michael was quick to respond to my last minute request for a dog walker when I had to unexpectedly go into the office for work. He was prompt and provided great info about my dog during the walk. I will definitely recommend Michael for any dog owners and I’m sure I’ll be booking services with him again soon!”



“Britney was great with our new puppy. She was very flexible with our sporadic schedule and always willing to go that extra mile to make sure our pup was taken care or and loved.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was very young. Initially for the neighbors cats and dogs, and then eventually staying over at people’s homes to dog sit. In the last decade I’ve watched many of my friends dogs from when they are puppies until now, and have loved being a part of every step of the journey! Comfortable with dogs of every breed and age. I work full-time from home, and if I have enough notice I can usually pop out for a dog walk on pretty short notice. I love dogs, I just live in a small apartment that doesn’t allow them, so dog walking is how I get to enjoy pups and help out someone who needs it! I am very comfortable following whatever instructions the dog owner may have for the care of their pet. If the preference is for the pup to be left in a crate, I’m comfortable doing so. I have no issue entering homes to retrieve dogs for walks and following instructions for pick up and drop off

“I needed someone to walk my puppy and Max was kind enough to take my last minute request! He was very kind, communicative, and thorough. I’m such a helicopter mom, so I appreciated all the pictures and notes he sent without me even asking. I would definitely book with him again :)”


“Astrid was great to work with ! She communicated well, showed up to the meet & greet on time and approached my fur babies very well ! My husky is a bit nervous and reserved when it comes to strangers, while my lil one is very comfortable and loves attention from strangers haha She focused on my lil one (Panda) & won Daphne’s confidence by the end of their walks. She provided details of their walk, followed by pictures ! I felt completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care, I’ll definitely be working with her in the future !!!”


“Thank you for taking my furry family for a walk. They are eagerly anticipating their afternoon walk after their morning experience. Your reliability and attentive care impressed me greatly. I'm looking forward to using their services again and highly recommend them if you're looking for a fantastic dog walker. Trust me, your pup will be in the best hands!”


About: Hi! I currently have a lot of free time during the weeks and would love to be available for you pet. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages. I always focus on creating a calm, positive, and happy experience for them. Looking forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time during the week and during the day. I can be very flexible with my hours. I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable as I would for my own. I love all animals and am excited to take care of yours!

About: I’ve had a passion for caring for animals my whole life, which is reflected in my experience - from obtaining work experience at a vet for over a year to taking care of various animals growing up, such as hamsters, fish, cats, and to raising my currently owned Pomeranian since 2021. I've taken her from a tiny pup to a well-behaved, happy companion thanks to multiple dog training sessions I've completed. My goal is always to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own pets, so you can rest easy knowing your furry family member is in the hands of someone who genuinely understands their needs. I work from home full-time, which means I’m always around and have the flexibility to take breaks whenever I need to. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with any dogs in my care—whether that’s for play sessions, walks, or just hanging out to keep them company. Because I’m home most of the week (including weekends), I can easily accommodate daily care routines, feeding schedules, and last-minute needs without any hassle. In our own home, I provide a welcoming, pet-friendly environment in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, which is located near several dog parks for fun outdoor adventures. Your dog will have the freedom to roam around and find their own comfy spot to relax. We also have a Pomeranian who would love a playmate—she may get nervous/overexcited (especially around medium and large dogs) at first, but she’s never aggressive; I like to make sure to introduce her to new canine friends at a calm, controlled pace. One of my bigger goals is also to socialize our dog more as well. If you prefer your pet to remain in their own surroundings, I’m more than happy to care for them in your home. In addition to keeping your dog’s routine consistent (like walks, feedings, and playtime), I can also help with basic household tasks—such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, or adjusting the lights—so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

Atefe A.
“If you’re lucky enough to come across Ati, don’t hesitate. Book her. She took care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away on a longer trip, and I can honestly say she’s the kind of caregiver every pet owner hopes to find. From the moment we met, I could sense her calm, grounded energy. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely in tune with animals. One of our dogs tends to be anxious around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. Watching that connection form was really special. What truly impressed me was her attention to detail and how much heart she put into everything. She kept in touch with thoughtful updates, made sure each pet got individual love and attention, and took wonderful care of our home. I came back to happy, relaxed animals and a house that felt calm and cared for. Ati is someone you trust the moment you meet her, and even more once you see how your pets respond to her presence. We’ll absolutely be asking her back, and I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her to anyone who wants their animals in loving, capable hands. — Susan M.”

Isaac M.
“Isaac is an incredible dog caregiver, and I can’t recommend him enough. I had a dog, Bella, for 14 years, and Isaac was a huge part of her life—helping care for her, feeding her, taking her on walks, and always making sure she felt loved and safe. We lived together for a while, and during that time we were constantly surrounded by dogs—whether they were mine, his, or friends’—and Isaac always stepped up to care for them with patience and genuine affection. He also had a dog of his own until recently—a massive Great Dane—and was a fantastic, responsible owner to her. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving a dog the attention they need, Isaac truly gets it. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with him, and any owner can trust that their pup will be in great hands.”

Tim is organized, attentive, and incredibly responsible, making sure the dogs he cares for are well-exercised, well-fed, and showered with affection. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my own dogs in his care, because I trust his reliability and know that he treats every pet like his own. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, thoughtful, and naturally great with animals, Tim is the perfect person!”
