About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and great at reading animals’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and extra love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I enjoy staying active, so walks and playtime are a regular part of my day, and I’m flexible enough to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not something I rush through. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep things clean while maintaining the pet’s normal environment to reduce stress. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I always prioritize safety, positive interaction, and regular updates so pet parents feel confident and at ease.

About: I have taken care of my grandmother and aunt's dogs since I was 15. I did dog-sitting for a few months when I was a college student. Family, friends and pet-owners have relied on me to walk, sit, feed, bathe, play with their pets. I work part-time and I usually make my own hours. I am flexible. As a filmmaker and photographer, I switch between gigs part-time and work from home. I know how to walk safely your dogs and pet-sit them at home.

About: If there’s one thing I can do , it’s take care of pets. I’ve been surrounded by different animals since a young girl and have experienced so many different personalities on each animal. I can assure you that your baby will be taken care of by any means necessary. They deserve the world and more. All they’ve done is love us and we have to reciprocate. I am working part time at the moment so I will be updating availability as soon as possible. Ofcourse any questions or requests will be welcome! I already have 1 senior dog named Ginger. She’s so chill I hang out with her all day when I’m not at work. As I’ve stated, different dogs need different attention. No one knows their dog better than their owner so respecting boundaries and acknowledging wants will be taken into account. Some dogs have anxiety aww! So communication is something I want going into taking care of a new baby.

About: With nearly a decade of professional dog care, I’ve worked with dogs of every size, personality and energy level—from playful puppies to highly trained adult breeds. I got my start training huskies in Northern California, which taught me patience, structure and how to handle athletic, high-drive dogs. I currently dog-sit for clients in Los Angeles, Melrose and Beverly Hills, Long Beach including on-screen talent and public figures. I understand the lifestyle, the expectations and the need for discretion. Whether your dog is hyper, chill or somewhere in between, I make sure they’re understood, enriched and treated like my own. Daily walks, adventures, mental stimulation and affection are part of my routine. Every dog deserves a fun, safe and loving day — and I’m here to give them exactly that. I build my weekly schedule around the dogs I care for to ensure they have consistency and attention. Whether it’s morning exercise, mid-day walks, enrichment outings or overnights, I keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated. My schedule allows for flexible booking across weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests for local clients when needed. Safety and trust come first. I treat every dog as if they were my own and follow whatever routine, diet, or structure they’re used to at home. I’ve worked with high-profile clients and understand the importance of confidentiality, communication and respect for boundaries. I handle transportation, medications, meals, and exercise with care. Whether your dog is energetic or relaxed, I create a secure, enriched and stress-free environment.

Olivia has watched my cat Lunchbox a bunch over the past couple years whenever I travel. She always does a great job, gets fun photos, and keeps me informed while I'm gone. Most importantly though, she is very trustworthy and Lunchbox loves her. It's so hard for me to leave my cat alone when I have to travel, but I always feel better knowing Olivia is there to take care of her. If you are looking for a reliable person who your pet will love, I would 100% recommend Olivia to you!

About: Ever since I was a young boy, my experience with caring for animals has billed the following: Dogs, cats, birds... the list goes on! I am not one to shy from the messy, the rowdy, the lazy, or the energetic, I've seen it all! I have specialty in caring for younger animals, and I have nurtured many animals into adulthood even in the absence of their parents. My track record even includes puppies with parvo having overwhelmingly successful recoveries due to my own means. No matter the pet, I've got you covered! I'm currently a full-time college student that has a part-time job, but not to worry, I still have plenty of time to care for your pets as I am diligent in my studies, not leaving things till the last minute, and my work schedule is highly flexible. I am generally free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I also have availability on Mondays and Wednesdays past 7:30 PM with Fridays clearing up earlier at around 2:30 PM. Even if your pet just needs a quick pit stop, I can and will go! I never let pets out of my sight no matter what whenever there is a need for constant supervision (walking, out in the yard, etc.) I am willing and able to provide constant updates to you to ensure peace of mind while you are away, and I treat every home with the utmost respect and compassion. I practice extreme patience with pets and can very reliably sense and match the type of energy they give out, i.e. I will never make a lazy dog do more than they comfortably want to and I will never do less than what an extremely energetic dog wants. I have a husky mix, so I know how it is!

I’ve welcomed many animals into my life and even helped find safe, happy homes for those in need. “I provide reliable, loving care with daily photo updates and flexible scheduling. I’m active, patient, and experienced with energetic and senior dogs. Your dog will get safe walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give to your fur baby and the attention they deserve and need having a flexible job means I have more than enough time to make time I can care for your pet exactly how you prefer. As someone who had a pet , I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with your baby — I’m very cautious and protective with my own pets, so yours will be treated the same way.
