About: Since I was born, I have been around animals, and dreamed to work with them and take care of them. I went to school ar SJVC to become a Veterinary Technician, so I have developed skills on how to administer medications. I have watched over my friends pets, whether dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. I am comfortable around all sorts of animals, be them furry, feathery, or scaly. I am currently working part-time at Ross Dress for Less and volunteer at M.A.R.E when free and, so I have a flexible schedule to pet-sit or even walk your furry family members. I provide a safe, and calm environment for the care of all animals, will provide daily walks as needed. If needed, can help with crate training new puppies.

About: I have a degree in animal science, also a life long animal lover. Details are important to me with animal care. I enjoy helping others. I work in education and I’m off during the summer and holidays. My afternoons are free. I am also an early riser. Weekends I am free. I have a fenced yard, a kennel if needed. Or very secure stalls in a clean and tidy barn. We have dogs but they are friendly and well behaved.

About: I am a teacher with extra time to help with any pet sitting - last minute or planned ahead! I am willing to travel to others homes to feed your pets, take them on walks, give them baths or whatever is needed! Over the summer I will have many weekdays and weekends completely open for pet sitting jobs. Beginning mid August, I teach full time in an elementary school 8-3:30. Whatever your safety rules are, I will adhere to. Having taken care of babies as well for many years, I have a high sense of safety when someone's precious cargo is in my hands.

“Matthew was amazing with my Bobby. He did everything asked, was polite,respectful and understanding of my needs. I will hire Matthew again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. After rescuing my dog from the shelter, I knew I had a passion for helping animals. I began pet sitting for clients three years ago and take care of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, tortoises, and horses. I provide walks, feeding, giving medications, bathing, cleaning up after pets, house sitting, and play time. I even provide services such as taking out clients trash, watering their plants, and getting their mail. Anything to make your time away from home worry free! Currently, I have open availability. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever I am needed. I can do drop-ins, overnights, and walks! When attending a clients home, I ask that the clients provides a list of instruction of exactly what their fur babies need. Each fur baby is different but I provide feeding, walking, clean up, and play time. I will also provide medication to your fur babies if they need it. If you need your trash taken out, plants watered, and mail picked up I can provide that as well.

About: I've had pet dogs since I was 11 years old. I am now 31. I love dogs and cats! I miss living with pets, so I feel this is a good alternative. I'm currently on summer vacation from graduate school so I can be avaliable at any time. I can also do late nights if necessary. I would just like a heads up! I currently live in an apartment complex, but it does have very spacious yard. The parking lot leads into a nature trail walk. Its a nice nature trail on sunny days. There is also a grass area specifically for dogs.

“Callie was so sweet with my dog! Roxy came home super happy and excited so we are so satisfied with the service. definitely recommend Callie and will be booking in the future.”


About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more—since I was young. I’ve independently house and pet sat for years and always treat every home and animal with love, respect, and reliable care. I’m known for being highly trustworthy, attentive, and great with both energetic pups and shy pets alike. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or litter box cleanings are never an issue. I plan my day around check-ins, playtime, and any special needs like medication or grooming. Evenings are reserved for winding down with pets, making sure they feel safe and settled before bed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and routines—while keeping the home clean, secure, and peaceful. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar environment by sticking to their usual routines and offering plenty of attention, play, and affection. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe routine for every pet. Whether I’m watching animals in my own home or someone else’s, their care always comes first. I also keep clients updated with messages or photos, so they always know their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: We are new in Los Angeles. Célia works remotely several days on the week, Louis is also present on weekdays half of the month and we are fully available during the weekends. We have a fenced yard where your dog will love to roam! Our friendly dog Luky is 4 years old (neutered) and will always be happy to make new furry friends! We'd love to go to the dog park, beach and hikes together if you allow us to do so, and depending to your dog. We grew up around pets (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, chipmunks, rabbits, rats, horses, geico...). We did animal sitting during our studies and we would love to care for your pets while we are in LA. We are flexible about the scheduling and all ears about yours and your pets need. Before each booking, we will be transparent with you regarding what we plan to do and how much we will be at home with your dog (especially for dogs who need a lot of presence). When we are at home, the dogs have permanent access to the fenced yard, under supervision. We have a car equipped with pet seatbelts so we can pick them up, drive them to the dog park or simply go on a stroll and bring them back to your home. We are flexible and we will try to accommodate your needs as much as possible.

About: Weight Limit: ~ 20 lbs I limit the amount of dogs I board and only take in dogs under ~20lbs. My pups are young and energetic but also know to give dogs their space. They have interacted a lot with my parents senior chihuahua, (he is 16 years old!) and have learned to leave doggos who just want to relax alone. Feeding: I would recommend you bring your own food for your pup to avoid any tummy issues. I have a variety of grain free treats and greenies that I can give if you’re dog doesn’t have any dietary restrictions. I also have Toppers and Brutus Bone Broth if you have a picky pup who doesn’t want to eat when at the sitter. I can spice up their kibble with a topper (: If I notice they’re not eating I will always ask before I add anything to their kibble though! We have no kids, plus I work from home so all our attention goes to our poofs and any furry guests we might have over. Dogs will have free range of the living room, I typically work from the kitchen island and have a Rover installed in case I need to run an errand. I have multiple dog beds through out for anyone who wants a comfy place to rest. The yard is gated with grass throughout. Summer I sometimes have a doggy pool out for the pups.

“Jayden is the only person I trust with my babies. She truly knows how to care for my dogs. I have a poodle and a chihuahua so they are difficult to manage for most people. My chihuahua Frank often dislikes most people I leave him with, with Jayden being the exception. She always takes extra time out of her day to make sure they are properly cared for, along with making sure they are well behaved. She used to watch my dogs for me during my trips which I was out of town for roughly a week at a time. She is super bubbly and sweet and doesn’t mind a little mess, which makes my dogs love her. I recommend her to all the dog mom’s and dad’s!”
