About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a kid and currently have two of my own. Our girls are husky mixes, Luna and Nova and they both have a really cool adoption story. I love animals and would love to give yours the time and attention they need. I work full time during the week but am available weeknights from 3:30pm-10pm and weekends anytime. I am really excited to get started on this app!! I walk my two dogs all the time, and I love it. I am well aware of my surroundings and make sure if any other dogs are close, to give them the needed space as we pass one another. I have leashes (Short and extended), doggy bags, treats (If allowed) and always carry water.
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
About: I have had pets all of my life, and have always loved and treated them as family members. I have raised puppies, cared for elderly dogs, and trained several breeds of varying ages. I've even raised a doodle...Honestly, I feel like I can do anything after that! My daily schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it as needed. This allows me to focus on your pet and give them the attention that they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard and dog doors for easy access at our home. Our pets are always treated as family, and yours will be too.
“Sara is an excellent pet sitter! We entrust her with the care of our senior dog, Jay. He is treated as if he were her pet. It is a great pleasure to have her take such good care of our pets, and I greatly appreciate her thoughtfulness. Having Sara care for my pets is everything that I look for in a pet sitter. She's warm, friendly, and responsible.”

About: I started pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors about 2 years ago, but I also grew up with household pets! Throughout my experience at home, and pet sitting for others, I have dealt with elderly, physically disabled, mentally disabled and hyperactive animals. All of these precious animals have given me the opportunity to learn how to be an extremely effective caregiver for varying situations. I also currently work as a dog daycare/boarding attendant where I work with 20 or more dogs at once, doing constant health checks, feeding, bathing services. I currently work part time Tuesday - Thursday. These work days often start early and end early, so scheduling appointments on these days would be better for after 3-4pm. All other days of the week are more flexible! Depending on the situation in your home, or with your animal, I have the ability to analyze animal behavior. This means I will understand when or when not to approach the animal. Understanding this could also help with checking the animals well-being, and proceeding with animal care tasks.
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed forever. I briefly planned to be a vet… until I discovered how temperatures are taken and quickly pivoted to professional pet spoiler. I’m the friend everyone calls for reliable dog sitting and cat sitting, and I treat every pet like my own (nicknames absolutely included). I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your house rules, and big on clear communication with photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. After fostering a dozen pups, I had my first foster fail in 2014 when Stevie came home for good. He’s now my geriatric chihuahua, living his best life fueled by naps, Greenies, and prime sunbathing real estate. Your pet will get the same loving, attentive care! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule much of the week, which allows me to give pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about structuring my time around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always aim to keep each pet on their normal routine to minimize stress. Because I share my home with a senior chihuahua, I’m especially attuned to comfort, safety, and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or extra cuddle time, I build pet care into my week so every animal gets reliable, loving attention. I keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walk, medication, and care instructions — right down to favorite toys and nicknames. I treat every client’s home with great respect and always keep things clean and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and I stay very attentive to your pet’s comfort, safety, and energy level. With my fostering experience and senior pet background, I’m patient, observant, and quick to flag anything that seems off. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
About: I’ve taken care of our families pets over the years, walking, playing, feeding and caring for them. Friends trust me to watch their dogs, and I enjoy doing it! I work from home on creative endeavors and I’m fortunate enough to be able to create my own schedule. I’m flexible and happy to work my schedule around yours! I’m happy to care for your pet in your own home, and will follow any instruction you can provide for me. I’m easy going and efficient.
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little guy during his walk! 😍 He may look like a big boy on the outside, but he’s actually very timid on the inside—and we are so grateful that you approached building a connection with him with such gentle sensitivity. 🙏🏻 Next time, we’ll definitely come straight back to you! 😉”
About: I’ve been an animal lover from as far as I can remember...being born into a household with two dogs was like having siblings(I’m an only child) I definitely got it from my mama, she’s just as big of an animal lover as me! We have adopted rescues and continue to save animals whenever they are in need. I’ve actually never lived without a dog! will personally accommodate according to you and your dog’s needs!
