“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 !!!”


“Mallory was amazing, she is a kind, caring and attentive person. I felt immediately comfortable meeting her and it was a great experience overall! My little Nugget Remy also appreciated her very much!”

“Melissa was terrific. She was available on short notice and walked my dog Rocky 5 times over 3 days. Rocky loved Melissa. She was on time and did a great job. I would definitely call Melissa again.”
“Michelle is a GEM!!! She responded promptly to all my neurotic Mommy queries & directions & my Stella was SO HAPPY walking with Michelle. I know my dog & the pics & video showed how comfortable she was with Michelle. Excellent dog walker!!!”

About: As a freelance writer, my schedule allows me to house-sit and pet-sit for many of my friends. I've been watching dogs and cats of all kinds for over 20 years. Dogs and cats love me! I like to make sure the animals in my care and having fun and get a lot of attention. As a freelance writer, I am generally available at any time. In some cases, I may be able to accept a job on the same day. I have an apartment with a patio, and plenty of toys! I enjoy being outdoors and love to take dogs for walks, to the park, or to their favorite places. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention and playing with them.
“Carol was wonderful! She took Yogi on an hour long walk and sent a picture of them having fun together along the way. She was prompt and checked in before and after. I will definitely reach out to Carol in the future!”

About: I have spent over a decade working professionally with animals; from monitoring wolf populations in the field and caring for farmed animal sanctuary residents, to wildlife rehabilitation and in-home pet care. Every chapter of that journey deepened the same belief: every individual life has value, regardless of species, history, personality, or preferences. That belief is the foundation of everything I do. I founded AllCompanion Pet Care in 2022 and spent four years building a thriving, five-star rated practice in Minneapolis before relocating to West LA in April 2025. I am Fear Free certified, Pet First Aid and CPR certified, and fully insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I specialize in the care of anxious, reactive, fearful, and special needs companions; the ones who need someone willing to slow down, listen, and let them set the pace. I also proudly care for all species, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, and more. I am available seven days a week from 8am to 6pm, with extended hours available daily for families who need a little more flexibility. Whether you need a consistent weekly schedule or as-needed visits, I will work with you to make it happen. All care takes place in your home; the environment where your companion feels safest, most comfortable, and most like themselves. I never rush a visit, never force an interaction, and never use aversive tools or methods of any kind. Every companion is met exactly where they are, with patience, curiosity, and genuine respect for who they are as an individual. I carry your veterinarian's information on every visit and am trained to respond calmly and effectively in the event of a medical emergency. Your home is treated with the same care and respect as my own; always left exactly as I found it, and often a little tidier. After every visit you will receive a detailed report card with photos so you always know exactly how your companion is doing. When you welcome me into your home, you are not getting a stranger with an app. You are getting a decade of experience, a genuine love for every individual in my care, and a professional who takes the trust you place in me seriously.
About: Hello! I'm a trustworthy, caring, pet & plant lover with years of pet- & home-sitting experience under my leash… er, belt. My very first foray into pet-sitting was as a teenager, when a family friend asked me to care for their pet rabbit while away. That lovely little rabbit was a great teacher – one lesson that really stuck was how all creatures are sacred, and deserving of love & respect. These days I most commonly look after dogs & cats, but also have experience with smaller animals (fish, birds, iguanas..), and have sat house for friends, family & strangers alike, the world over. I returned to the US after living & working abroad for several years, and am currently based in lovely and iconic Highland Park. I work from home, so no problem keeping your four-legged(s) company through the days, and providing ample outdoor breaks. I also have a daily meditation practice, which many of the pets I look after find either odd, amazing, or nothing special at all. Some have even been known to join in with me! I’d love to meet you and your furries, so please don’t hesitate to reach out any time. And if you’d like to speak with any of my previous clients, they’d be more than happy to give a reference. Thanks for checking me out – I hope to connect with you soon! As mentioned, I work from home. I'm online with clients for several hours of the day. All I really need is a good wifi connection and a (relatively) quiet place to work. My schedule is also quite flexible, so I can set longer breaks and rearrange my start and end times to better suit your pet's needs. Of course all the usual feeding, outdoor breaks, walking, snuggling, positive communication and energy. And then, as per the pet's and client's needs, I'm open and able to provide the best experience possible for your furries.
“Lili was awesome! She agreed to a last minute booking and took my dobie mix Bean on a walk around the neighborhood. She responded very quickly which was much appreciated! Thank you so much Lili!”

About: I have hands, on experience caring for animals at a veterinary clinic in my home country, Argentina. In this role, I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and monitoring dogs to ensure their comfort and well-being. I also helped create a calm and positive environment for the animals, making sure they felt safe and cared for at all times. This experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, be attentive to their needs, and handle different temperaments with patience and care. I am reliable, energetic, and truly enjoy spending time with pets, treating them as if they were my own At the moment, I have full-time availability, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I can easily adapt to morning, afternoon, or evening walks and pet care sessions depending on the client’s needs. I am currently focused on working in pet care, so I can organize my daily and weekly routine around bookings without any conflict. This gives me the ability to be reliable, punctual, and fully committed to each pet I take care of. I am very motivated to build a consistent schedule and provide ongoing care, whether it is daily walks, occasional visits, or longer-term pet sitting. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain a calm, secure, and positive environment at all times. I am attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I adapt my care style depending on their personality, energy level, and routine. I am fully available to provide different types of services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting in the client’s home if needed. When staying in a client’s home, I treat it with full respect and responsibility, making sure the pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to build trust with both the pet and the owner by being reliable, caring, and consistent. I always aim to create a stress-free and loving experience for the animals under my care.

“Brian and his girlfriend have been wonderful walkers for my dog, Murphy. They’re reliable and communicative, and have expertly navigated situations when my more senior dog refuses to leave the sofa 😂. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog walker or watcher in the Berkeley area!”

“Sky has been a life saver for me! So kind, thoughtful, annd always goes the extra mile to make my super nervous dog feel comfortable and cared for. Definitely will book again!!!”

You can expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is in caring, experienced hands

About: I am the Founder of GreenDog Foundation’s Youth Team and have actively volunteered with them for 6 years where we host adoption events at Pets Plus in SoCal to help the pups find their perfect families. I have experience in dog feeding and care routine, medicine schedules, litter care. I owned a dog for 6 years before moving out of my home, my family still owns pups, and I fostered a senior Shitzu that needed his scheduled medication everyday. I’m available all day on the weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and Monday to Thursday in the afternoon and night. Let me know when works best! I love dogs and miss my pup so much but I am unable to own right now so I would love to take care of your pet schedule for you! Pets need as much attention as babies do and I can do it all for you and your busy schedule.
