“Ryan & Abbey are great!! They are very responsive and they keep me updated with videos and pictures through out the day. I also love how flexible in schedule they are. This is my 2nd time booking with them and plan on doing any future bookings with them. They have a spacious backyard and I’ve been lucky they have had other playful dogs that get along with my pup which makes it a great time for my puppy.”
“Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Caira! She was very patient with him and took him for lots of walks! First time seeing my dog genuinely happy with a sitter! 10/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Renata took such good care of our pup while we were on vacation for a few days! You could tell through the photos she sent that our dog was having a great time and felt right at home!”
“Carter is amazing! He knows exactly how to treat dogs in a proper manner. He’s a professional dog trainer as well. I visited his place, it’s so meticulous and clean. Your loved ones will be so comfortable and pampered. I’m planning a training and boarding session at the same time in future.”
“Booked Daniela a couple of weeks ago and just booked with her again this past weekend. She had great communication and provided lots of pictures and updates, which made me feel much more comfortable throughout the stay. I had never left my pets with someone I didn’t personally know before, so I was definitely nervous at first, but everything turned out great. She is very loving and caring with pets, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again. The only downside for me was not being able to physically see where my pet would be staying, sleeping, and spending time beforehand, since everything is handled through pictures and text messages. That may just be a personal preference because I tend to worry and have a hard time trusting others with my pup. Overall, it was a really good experience, and I hope she’s available for all future visits.”
“Thank you Barbara for taking such great care of Gus and for keeping us up to date with all the photos! We enjoyed our time away knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you Whiskey for sharing your space and being such a good pal, we hope to see you again.”
“Stanislava is absolutely amazing. She kept me updated with pictures and videos of my baby boy. She took WONDERFUL care of Archie. She’s definitely my go-to sitter from now on ❤️.”
“Amorn & Adam are truly the best! My dog has a lot of special needs in his old age, and they truly do everything they can to keep him comfortable and happy. They go above and beyond for the pups they care for!”
“Lisa was great at communicating with us before and during our trip. She helped me and my dog feel comfortable being in her home before I left him with her for over a week. She was prompt in responding when I had a question and gave us Daily updates on Shuman, which we greatly appreciated. Will definitely rebook with her if needed!”
“This family is great! The price is affordable and they live in a cute, friendly home that was perfect for my pup over Thanksgiving. They sent photos as much as I wanted, they allowed me to come a little bit later for pick up because my flights were delayed, and my pup came back to me tired and happy. I would definitely recommend and I will be using them again! Thank you!”
“Alexis and her husband took great care of my 4-month old pup, they were communicative and very easy to talk to! I would definitely feel comfortable boarding my dog with them again.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Excellent experience! Jana took great care of my dogs and handled pickup and drop-off perfectly. I’m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend her!”
“Santho was extremely attentive and professional, and took great care of my ~1 year old pup. She consistently kept me in the loop with photos and updates, her space had a large yard for pups to play in, and I would use her services again”
“Mariia always takes the best care of Oscar! It’s been a year since she last took care of him and he immediately recognized her and felt comfortable. She followed all of my clear instructions with his medicine and I completely trust her!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.

Our dog Maisy is normally shy with new people, but during the meet and greet with Melissa and Chris, she walked straight in, made herself at home, and felt completely at ease. I had no doubt she would fit right in and be well cared for during her stay. This was our longest trip away from Maisy and I truly believe she enjoyed her vacation just as much as we did! Their house is spacious, sunny, and, most importantly, very safe. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos showing just how happy Maisy was while we were gone. Maisy and I highly recommend Melissa and Chris to anyone looking for attentive, loving sitters!
Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.
I needed to board my pups for a couple of days as my wedding was getting closer. Choosing to board them, and selecting Nicola were two of the best decisions I've made for the wedding planning. We scheduled a meet and greet, where the boys got to check out the new space. Nicola asked me detailed questions about the dogs' routines and preferences. During the two days they were there, I got updates and pictures regularly. When I had to postpone the pick-up time, he was very understanding and flexible. While he may have not known it specifically, Nicola helped make my wedding weekend just a little more magical.
This was our first time leaving our two pups with Larissa, and they stayed with her for two whole weeks while we were away. From everything we could see, our boys had such a wonderful time! ❤️🐶🐶 Larissa gave them so much love, care, and company, which made us feel very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Her adorable little pup, Levy, was such a sweetheart too, and it made us so happy to see that the three of them became little buddies. It means a lot to us to find someone we can trust with our boys, especially when we are away for such a long time. We came home to two happy pups, and that says everything. ❤️ We will absolutely be leaving our boys with Larissa again in the future. Thank you, Larissa, for taking such good care of them! 🐾💕
Ryan & Abbey always go above and beyond when it comes to caring for your dog. You’ll feel completely at ease leaving your furry friend with them, knowing they’re in loving and capable hands. They truly provide exceptional care and treat every dog as if they were their own!
Tanya was fantastic, no other way to put it. We first met using a scheduled meet and greet through Rocer which gave us a chance to introduce our pup to Tanya and her home. She has a great space that is secure and with lots of room for running around and lounging. Tanya was really communicative and kept us updated with photos and videos without us having to ask for it. We very much enjoyed booking with Tanya and would easily recommend her for other pups. Thanks for taking care of our pup and we look forward to having her stay here again in the future!
We left our three dogs with Frank and had such a great experience! He watched our three dogs for 16 days and did an amazing job. All three were happy, comfortable, and clearly very well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely trust him with them again and highly recommend!
Madlena is a wonderful Dogsitter that I trust with my 2 beloved pups. She is very caring and attentive. I appreciated all of the questions she asked before and during their stay with her, and all of the updates and photos she shared. It’s easy to tell how much she adores dogs. My pets came home well rested and happy!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tarzana home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tarzana.
