“Madeline did a great job watching our 1 year old Zuko. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! Even dealt with getting into our apartment after we had accidentally locked the door. Would recommend!”


“Ginneh is the best!!! Highly recommend!!! She treated my fur babies so well! Lots of attention and play with also lots of pics. So wonderful!!”


“I could have asked for a better sitter for Abbey. She really connected with her and always kept me updated with texts and photos. She even took care of some accidents that occurred. I will definitely use her again.”



“Michelle has been so great with my two kitties. They are normally very shy around anyone new, but they warmed up to her so quickly. Michelle always sends plenty of pictures of them playing, which always puts me at ease. Her response time is also very quick which is helpful when planning to be away from home.”


“Kenzie was very responsive, professional, and communicative. We received helpful updates and sweet photos and videos of our kitties. Our kitties took to her warmly and would hang around and eat and play!”


“She was amazing with lady, literally took my anxiety away! My dog is hard to get close to people because she is scared, but Chelsey had everything under control. So helpful to have her come to the house and help around with some cleaning as well 🙏🏼 really appreciate it . Definitely recommend her a 100%”


“I was very happy to have Jana check in on my pup while I was away from home for a bit! It was very re-assuring since my dog can get a bit anxious when left alone and I loved seeing all the pictures Jana took during her drop in visit! I would definitely re-book with her again in the future!”


About: I'm patient, genuine, kind, and highly empathetic to animals. If there's a cat or dog in the street, I am capturing it and making sure it gets taken care of. I have experience with kittens, puppies, senior dogs, big dogs, playful cats, scaredy cats, and everything in-between. Owning over 10 animals in my own lifetime, and taking care of many others, I am confident in my ability to care for pets of any kind. I work from home only 3 days per week. I can work from my laptop. I have a highly flexible schedule that keeps me at home and able to be present. I can go for breaks or walks whenever, even on work days, as my work load is usually very light. I am available most weekends. I always am respectful, calm, and alert when it comes to taking care of animals. I am very clean, organized, and detail-oriented. I am very thorough and use my gut and instinct to make decisions. I try to get in tune with whichever animal I am with, listening to their specific needs.

About: I treat every dog like family not just a job. With hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, I understand that every pup has their own needs, routines, and quirks. What truly sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and deep commitment to making pets feel safe, loved, and at home even when their humans are away. Pet care is woven into my everyday life it’s not a task, it’s a lifestyle. I have a fenced yard, which means dogs in my care get safe, outdoor playtime as part of their daily routine. I also have pets of my own, so I fully understand the love, attention, and structure they need to feel happy and secure. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and be themselves. With a fenced yard, pets get secure outdoor time for play and potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or bedtime rituals and make sure they get plenty of love and attention, just like my own pets do. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I’m respectful, reliable, and detail-oriented. I stick to your routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress free while you’re away. From playtime and feeding to administering medication or sending updates and photos, I care for every pet as if they were my own and treat your home with the same level of respect.

“Salena was amazing! My husband and I visited family on the East Coast for Christmas, and we scheduled drop-in visits with Salena. She was very communicative and quick to respond to questions and concerns. She always sent us updates and pictures after her visit. She was also very hands-on with our cats, playing with them and giving them a lot of affection. One of our cats needed to be given medicine and she had no problem doing that. It was very reassuring know they were in good hands!”


About: I’ve babysat my aunt’s dog, Sophie, over extended periods since she was adopted 10 years ago. My aunt and uncle go on an annual 3-4 week long vacation; each time, I babysit Sophie in our home. I feed her morning and night, walk her, pick up her excrement, bathe her, and dry her. For extra nutrition, I’ll sometimes make a boiled egg and mix it into her dry food. Because we live in a woodsy area, I keep her away from the side of the road with woods and limit time on extra grassy areas to ensure she doesn’t have ticks (prior to this, I had to remove a tick from her leg once - ever since, I pay careful attention to the environment when walking dogs and adapt accordingly). I have experience with dogs both trained to pee on diaper pads and outdoors (Sophie used to use diaper pads when she was a puppy; she transitioned to going in grass on walks when she got older). As a dog lover, I often hop on the chance to walk friends’ and other family members’ dogs - as such, I have walked small, medium, and big dogs. For instance, my other aunt had a doberman named Lexa who I walked a few times in pretty rough terrain; I learned I really need to exercise my arm muscles and maintain stability when walking big dogs and now adjust my stance accordingly. I work a 9-5 that may extend to 6 PM on some days. Therefore, I am available between 7-8 AM and after 7:15 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I am available any time to walk, check in on/feed, or look after your pet in your home during the day or even overnight (from Friday night to Saturday night). I am happy to accommodate to my client’s needs! I offer services to care for your pet in your home or to stop by for check ins. I have experience in both. I would be happy to stop by before the sitting period to walk through your pet’s routine in person so my care is accurate and to reduce anxiety for the owner and pet as much as possible by maximizing familiarity. I will take a look at owner instructions in advance to ensure they’re detailed enough; if they are not, I will ask clarifying questions and take additional notes so I don’t make mistakes or miss a step when caring for your pet. I will send photo and/or video confirmation of your pet getting fed, walked, etc. to demonstrate accountability and provide ease of mind for my client. I will make sure to stay on top of notifications while working with a client.

“Anita was wonderful! I had so much comfort knowing she was watching my kittens! They loved her!”


About: I am a huge animal lover. I grew up around dogs and have pet sat for many friends and family. I also have spent the last 8 years around cats as well: One of my dogs had Addisons disease so being around sick and emotional dogs is not a problem for me. I can also administer oral medication. I love being around and caring for animals. I am willing to work hard and make sure your dog is taken care of as if they were a part of my own family. I love playing fetch and just running around playing with dogs. I have no problem also spending my time with puppies in fact I would greatly enjoy it. I would also love to take your dog for walks even in cold weather. If you have a cat I would enjoy spending time playing with them and I am willing and able to scoop, change, and sweep up cat litter as this is something I do on a daily basis for my own cat Leo. I hope you will consider me. I am currently a student so as long as I am not in class I am free to check on your pets. Most of my classes are afternoon and evening but there are sometimes breaks in between classes as well. I am also completely free on weekends. I would make sure to let your dog out or take them for a walk so they go potty. I would make sure they are fed and just generally spend time with them brushing, playing, or just petting. If the pet is a cat I would make sure to check and scoop the litter and make sure they have food and of course spend some time with them brushing or playing.

“Lilah was extremely professional and very good with my sweet boy. She was on time and sent photos of Red. I would definitely have her sit for him again.”


“Katy is amazing!! She was great with my kitten who I had to leave behind for a few days and was sure to make me at ease with all her photos and videos. She actually spent time with my kitten and takes her responsibilities seriously. I have had sitters who do the bare minimum but Katy goes above and beyond! All instructions were followed and I came back to a happy kitten.”


About: I grew up in a home where there were always dogs. Our first family pet was a Cocker Spaniel-that’s where my love for animals began. Later, I had my own beloved pets: a Persian cat named Jessica and a pug named Ponchik. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to give them not just care, but attention. Jessica taught me patience and how to read a pet’s mood. I spent many happy years with Ponchik-I personally trained him and understand the specific needs of pugs and other brachycephalic breeds. Every animal has its own personality, and I always approach them with respect and care. For me, this is more than just a job-it’s something I truly enjoy. I work remotely for Coca-Cola HBC, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets during the day. Whether it’s weekday cuddles or weekend adventures, I’m here for them! My wife, who also loves animals, is always happy to help out when needed, so your pet will be in a caring, family-style environment. I live in a cozy, spacious apartment within a secure, fenced building where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I also have a car and love taking furry friends to local parks and dog-friendly spots for fun and fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was little. Dogs are a HUGE part of my life. They truly are family and friends. I currently work from home so I have PLENTY of time to spend with dogs. I’m always at home, I go to the gym for 30 mins a day, which right next to my building onsite. My Apartment Complex is very pet friendly and has multiple dog parks all over. My Complex is very lush with trees and parks neighboring by due to my proximity to Griffith Park. I have a monitor in my home so that I can watch the dogs if I needed to grab something from the on-site convenient store, if I’m at the gym or if I need to grab the mail! However, I usually never leave at all while sitting. I was literally made for this. Watching Dogs is my dream Job. I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I had my Rotty for 11 years and she passed from old age. I’m not quiet ready for my own, However! I have plenty of pet essentials, from crates, to a bed, to toys! I have a balcony that the dogs will be safe on, and a space in my home specifically for them. I love doggies.

“Very informative and Lala really liked her. Definitely would recommend Alison!”


About: As a life long animal lover, I've always lived in a house with pets; either ones that belonged to me or ones that just needed care and a place to go. I believe in meeting animals where they are at; the most important thing is respecting their boundaries, learning their cues, and treating them with respect. I believe all creatures deserve respect and I offer reliable pet care with that belief as my main pillar. I primarily work gig to gig, so my schedule is currently flexible. My availability will be reflected on my profile so either schedule something ahead of time or reach out day of and we can make it work based on your needs! I am very experience with many types of harnesses, crates and the like. I believe respecting a client's space is just as important as respecting their pet.
