“Alisa did a great job watching our two older dogs during an extended trip that required daily visits. She followed all instructions and was also willing to help with maintaining our yard which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again and reccomend her to others.”

About: I grew up with two Shih Tzus and was always the designated dogsitter for my aunts and cousins. I have experience with big and small dogs. I've also taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs, and I will make sure he swallows that pill! This is my main job at the moment, so my schedule is wide open! I'm free for walks all throughout the week and can do drop-ins whenever needed. I'm also available to housesit on weekends and weekdays. I don't live with any pets of my own, so I promise to care for them the way I would my own dog. Your dog has my full, undivided attention!

“Natalia took perfect care of my boys, going above and beyond. Not only did she follow the care instructions I left to the letter, but she also too k the used pet food cans to the recycle bin, sent plenty of photos of the boys to me each day that I was away and was excellent with communication. I recommend her fully and will absolutely use her again.”

About: Having a dog and 2 cats as a kid was the best childhood! I am home most of the day so I have lots of time to walk and play with your pup! I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals. I have been freelance dog sitting/walking for the last year through friends but looking for more furry friends here! Send me a message so we can talk more about you and your pet’s needs I work from home doing a part time job so I am mainly a home body. I am based in North Hollywood and generally service Noho, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City and parts of Sherman Oaks I don’t accept animals from multiple households at once for my safety and theirs. I have multiple screen doors where they can safely watch the world outside at all the people and dogs who might pass by. I can also offer daytime sitting in someone’s home as long as my laptop and internet access is allowed!

About: Hi pet guardians, I’m Tauri. . I am a member of Pet Sitters International and I am independently insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I’ve successfully completed PSI’s Pet First Aid & CPCR for Pet-Care Professionals. . I have extensive dog care experience, including training large working breed dogs for search and rescue (e.g. Dobermans and German Shepherds). . I’ve walked and watched dogs from 5lbs to 130 pounds. I’m comfortable administering oral medicine and watching multiple dogs and other pets - cats, bunnies, birds, etc. . I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety and I am open to a constant care option on a case-by-case basis (at a higher rate). . I've completed Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and I'm enrolled in Susan Clothier’s Treat Retreat course, which is geared towards helping dogs who are nervous interacting with people. . I've raised many puppies. I am willing to do walks and drop-ins for puppies. I am open to overnight sits for puppies on a case-by-case basis. Currently, I work remotely, which makes house-sitting possible. . My typical weekday involves working on my computer for 10 hours. I start work between 7am and 9am. I end the day between 5pm and 7pm. I typically don't work weekends or holidays. . On weekdays, I can start a house sit in the evening starting at 7pm or later. If you need the house sit to start earlier than 7pm on a non-holiday weekday I will consider those requests on a case-by-case basis. I can feed and take the dog(s) out to potty in the morning before starting work and I can take the dog(s) on a potty break midday. On weekends, I usually can start the sit earlier than 7pm. . During the week: I am typically not available for walks or drop-in appointments before 7pm. Weekends and holidays: On weekends and holidays I typically can accommodate walks and drop-in appointments. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to leave to get food and basic necessities during a house sit at any point. I also reserve the right to leave for 4-6 hours during the day. . Constant Care: Pets requiring constant care will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to additional fees depending on the pets specific needs. I consider a pet to need constant care if the pet: (1) cannot be left for 4 hours at a time and/or (2) will need supervision or attention during 8 hours overnight (sleep time for me) or during the day while I work. In-person Meet & Greets are required prior to all services for new clients. I need to meet the pet(s) and assess temperament. . For dogs I want to go on a walk with the dogs and make sure the leashes, collars and equipment used to walk the pet is in good condition and the pet cannot slip out of the equipment. I want to see the typical walk environment and assess potential safety hazards (coyotes, aggressive dogs behind flimsy fences, debris in the area, etc.) and logistical issues (elevators, stairs, parking). . For all pets the in-person Meet & Greet will also allow me to assess the escape risks for pets and options for minimizing these risks. . The Meet & Greet will also allow you the opportunity to meet me in person, ask me questions and see me interact with your pet. Entrusting your pet and your home to a stranger is a very important decision for you and it should be taken seriously. If for some reason you do feel comfortable with me watching your pets or staying in your house after the Meet & Greet, you should meet with another sitter and find one that matches your needs. . Miscellaneous: I do not plan to bring any people or pets (other than the ones you are asking me to watch) into your home while I pet sit. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to refuse the sit if after the Meet and Greet I am not comfortable with the situation. While I have experience with aggressive dogs and cats, my overnight sit rate is for social/well-adjusted animals. Animals in need of behavioral modification or that pose a safety risk to myself or others should be boarded at a facility that is geared towards aggressive animals. Similarly, while I have experience caring for animals post surgery or animals experiencing acute medical conditions, my overnight rate is for healthy animals and/or animals with well-controlled chronic conditions. Medically fragile animals should be boarded at a veterinary facility with 24/7 staffing.

About: I have been a dog owner for 16 years and have developed a strong understanding of the care, attention, and responsibility that pets require. Throughout my life, I have also gained hands-on experience caring for animals through house sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and others in my community. These experiences have taught me how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are in creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. I take pride in being dependable and ensuring that each animal receives the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I genuinely love working with animals, and pet care has always been a consistent part of my daily life. As a longtime pet owner with years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting and pet care, I’m comfortable building my schedule around feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and individual needs. I understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is caring for your pet, and I make it a priority to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel happy and at ease while owners have peace of mind. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention while maintaining the routines they are familiar with, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to create an environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I make it a priority to keep owners updated and provide peace of mind while they are away.

About: Hi, I’m Heather, I’m a responsible, creative professional with a lifelong love for animals and a calm, caring energy that pets respond to. I grew up with cats in my home and I’ve cared for other’s cats, dogs, and even small reptiles (bearded dragons), and I love being a steady presence for animals while their people are away. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their own familiar space—it’s less stressful for them and allows you as the owner to be sure your pet is in a safe space while you’re away for work or play. I offer in-home sitting for clients within 10 miles of North Hollywood (drop-in and dog walking service within 5 miles of NoHo), and treat every home and pet with the same loving care and respect I would my own. I work remotely, so your pet gets plenty of companionship, and all I need is strong Wi-Fi and a peaceful place to stay. I’m tidy, communicative, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep things smooth while you’re gone. If you're a fellow creative who wants peace of mind that your pet is receiving excellent care while you travel or are on set, let’s connect! I work remotely, so as long as there’s strong wifi and a space to setup my laptop, I can provide all-day and even overnight care as needed while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I can dutifully follow whatever routines you as the owner need me to follow as your pet’s caregiver to keep them happy and healthy. I also have experience calmly administering medicine orally to cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. In my home we currently have no pets, so if your house-trained pet needs to stay outside of your home for any reason, you can rest assured your pet is safe from any contact with other animals. We live in a 2-family home where the neighbors live in the back of the house and have a friendly, medium-sized dog (mutt). They have their own separate fenced in yard, so their dog will have no contact with your pet. I wanted to be transparent about the presence of a dog on the general property, incase you hear her barking when you drop off your pet, there’s no surprises! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: Hi! I grew up on my grandmother’s farm in Italy. As an only child, I spent most of my time with animals and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dog, Billie, and my cat, Chico, were my best friends growing up. Fast forward to today: I live in Studio City with my husband. Over the years, I’ve provided professional pet-sitting services through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for dogs of all sizes and cats. I have two cats of our own, whom I love as if they were my children. I’m fascinated by feline behavior and have spent countless hours learning about their needs and personalities. Dogs may be a little easier to understand, but I adore them just as much. 😊 I love going for walks, and I take great pride in providing the best possible care for every pet. I follow instructions carefully, am highly respectful of other people’s homes and routines, and am extremely reliable and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As an actress and founder of my own theatre company, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to embrace a variety of meaningful experiences between projects. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Spending time with animals combines two things I truly enjoy: being in the open air and caring for pets. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing care and companionship, looking after pets feels less like a task and more like something that perfectly complements my lifestyle and brings me genuine joy. I offer both pet sitting and house sitting and have experience with both. As a former nanny, I'm very attentive, responsible, and used to caring not only for pets but also for someone's home with the utmost respect. I have previously hosted small dogs in my townhome and would be happy to do so again, provided they are comfortable around cats, as I have two furry babies of my own. If a dog is generally fine with cats but not completely at ease around them, I take extra precautions and have them sleep in a crate at night or whenever I cannot actively supervise. My priority is always everyone's safety and comfort. I am extremely conscientious and prudent. I follow care instructions to the letter, communicate clearly, and take reliability very seriously. Pet owners can trust that their pets, routines, and homes will be cared for exactly as requested.

About: I love cats and dogs and would love to help care for your pet(s) when you need it. I have experience with small to large dogs and up to 4 pets including cats and dogs. I also have experience with administering medication to pets when needed. I have cared for elderly dogs that require special attention and care and youthful rambunctious ones that like to go for a nice run and game of fetch. I have owned several cats over the years and have pet sit dogs up to 3 months at a time while a client was out of the country. I find it to be enjoyable and relaxing to play and care for pets and know that each is unique with it's own personality . Also, I have great references.

About: My Cairn Terriers (like Toto from Oz) hike Griffith and Runyon, chase squirrels, dig holes, play fetch at Weddington Park and take long walks. Sometimes we just lay in the sun or snuggle on the couch, but this is a loving home that is grain free, caters to the Fluff gang and we’re big on patience and attention. I've raised five dogs in my life - German Shepard, Black Lab, Lhasa Opso and now my Cairns. Having learned so much from each of them and the love I have for dogs in general, I'm excited to welcome your loved one into my home and help you be at ease knowing they're well cared for. I know nothing can keep you from missing your pet, but a confidence in them being comfortable and loved while you're away is a great help. ***Originally DogVacay, I’ve been with the service since 2010 and rarely open up to new clients. After a few folks moved out of town and others had kids which limited travel time, I’m opening up again. My preference would be to begin those same kind of long term care relationships with people who travel often or for larger lengths of time which allows your pup to feel as though they’re always going to a safe and familiar space with friends they know and love playing with. Working from home has allowed me to better care for my own senior pups and also gives me the freedom to spoil your loved one as well. My two friendly senior pups and I enjoy a gated back yard that still sees birds and squirrels enough to entertain them while being safe from any interactions. We have astroturf for back scratching and enjoying the sun, as well as a front yard, quiet cul de sac streets and a giant park for leisurely walks.
