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.

“James was a wonderful sitter! He was flexible and courteous in his service, informative in his updates , and a took great care of our cat. We would definitely recommend his services to those looking for a sitter. Thanks James!”


About: I have years of experience with dogs of my own and others that I have cared for with bathing, feeding, walking, and just providing a safe space for! I hope for nothing more than to make your life easier and your dog’s happier! I work a remote, part-time job so my schedule is very flexible. I can plan care throughout the day to fit your schedule better because my part-time job doesn’t require commute. I will make sure to keep your house clean and safe from any dog accidents! You can trust that I will treat your home with respect and leave it as it was.

“Ellyot was great with my cat, playing with her and even teaching her tricks while I was gone! Ellyot also communicated clearly about visit timing and took great photos to update me. Overall, I felt very at ease leaving my cat in Elloyt's care while I was out of the country. :)”


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.

“Sarah was an excellent caretaker. She was very flexible in orchestrating key pick up and sent plenty of photos of our babies. Looking forward to working with her again in the future! Would highly recommend her!”

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.

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.

“Thank you once again Astrid. I was out of the country so we reached out again for some part time assistance. She was prompt and took care of Thor like he was her own! It’s very reassuring knowing Thor is well looked after from 8000 miles away! Very appreciative, Thank you.”


About: I have a 10 year old golden retriever back with my family in Vermont, and I also have years of experience dog-sitting. I am comfortable with dogs who are good playing with other dogs as well as dogs who thrive only interacting with their people! I would consider myself pretty active so I’m comfortable with any activity level for pups. I am a current grad student at UCLA, so I will have to attend classes during the day and occasionally other meetings on weekdays. On weekends I am flexible! I have experience with both crated and uncrated dogs and am happy to do whatever is preferred. Additionally I am comfortable with varying training and energy levels.


“Thank you so much for taking care of Mack and so glad you were able to bring your dog along and provide some company for him. Definitely will keep you in mind on future trips”


About: At age 12 I adopted a rescue dog who had a lot of trauma from her previous life and had unique needs. She is my whole world and has taught me how important it is to serve each animal’s unique needs! I am patient, gentle, and loving with every dog I come into contact and am more than comfortable with dogs who have specific needs and quirks. I am a recent USC graduate on the job hunt so I have a completely free schedule at the moment! I am here to help on an at the moment basis:) I am here to fulfill your needs. I understand first hand that a pet is a member of the family and I am prepared to shape my job to the needed experience of you and your pet.

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.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had experience taking care of two westies on my own in the last 5 years. They live very active lifestyles and encourage me to do the same! I’m currently a student working from home so I am home a lot! I think taking care of pets will help me get back into a routine and encourage a more active lifestyle! I live next to a residential area that has plenty of safe walking paths. There are plenty of pets in my apartment as well so it’s not unfamiliar with them. I don’t smoke or drink either!

Isaac M.
“Isaac is a genuine lover of animals. From conversations with him, I know that he loves cats and dogs, and is generally very interested in all animals. I know that Isaac grew up in a family with two golden retrievers and two cats, (and humans). In college, he and his roommate rescued a stray kitten, fed it, and took care of it until they could find a home for it. After college, Isaac worked at a large hotel resort that offered lots of outdoor activities for the guests. Isaac led guests through wooded paths on mules to secluded fishing spots. He told me that he enjoyed the mules as well. For a couple of years recently, Isaac’s roommate had two cats and a very large, mixed breed dog. He was very involved in taking care of all three pets, feeding them, playing with them and taking them to vet appointments. Ive seen several photos of Isaac on hikes through the woods, year-round with this dog. I’ve seen many, many photos that Isaac has sent to me of himself with his own pets and with pets of his friends. We share a love of animals, and we frequently share our experiences with animals with each other. Isaac is a very positive, kind and responsible person. He has a big heart, and is always available to help friends in need, whether human or animal.”

Atefe A.
“Ati is seriously the only person I trust with my crazy little poodle 🐩💨 He has so much energy and thinks every walk is a full-on adventure, but she somehow keeps him calm, happy, and totally tired out by the end 😂 She just gets him, and that kind of connection is rare. I love the little updates she sends (yes, I’m that dog mom who lives for photo check-ins 📸), and I never have to stress when he’s with her. If she’s available, book her. Your fur baby will be in the best hands 💛”

Sophie W.
“Sophie has been a godmother to our Basil, a German shepherd rescue who has strong separation anxiety when meeting or staying with new people. But not with Sophie! She loves spending time with Sophie, who will walk her, take her for runs, or just hang out and snuggle! I’ve seen Sophie take care of many different dogs with all sorts of personalities, and she has an amazing sense of care and responsibility with her animals. Highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”

Timothy J.
“I’ve known Tim for years, and his love for animals shines through every time I see him around them. He’s always been the go-to person among our friends whenever a pet needs extra care or attention, whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a weekend of pet-sitting. 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!”
