“Came home to a happy, safe and healthy doggo. Alisa was communicative and worked with our needs. Will definitely use her for future sittings and walks!”

“Cassandra is a lifesaver! It’s been many years since we’ve had a puppy in our house. After our first night with him, I knew we needed help! She came over and helped us with a schedule and gave us valuable advice. Our pup loves her! Our kids love her! We love her. She’s got great energy and a clear passion for dogs! She is our regular go to for mid day visits and we look forward to a long relationship with her & our pup!”

Kristina H.

“Yvonne was wonderful. She checked in on and fed my cat, Cora, twice a day while we were gone for a four day trip. She updated me on each visit sending me photos and a recap of her stay/how my cat was doing. Highly recommend Yvonne! We’ll be asking her to watch Cora again for sure.”

Brianna K.

“Adrianne did take amazing care of both of our cats! Even our shy one would come out and greet her. Despite the LA fires she made sure to visit our cats and was ready to evacuate if needed! Really appreciate the great communication and the support. Huge recommendation and happy to have found a trusted pet sitter.”

About: Hi pet guardians, I’m Tauri. I have extensive dog care experience, including for large working breeds (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.

“For my first Rover experience this was great. Matthew took the time to visit Kona and I the day before the drop in visit and it definitely helped make everything go smoothly. Thanks Matthew!!”

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m an LA-based animal lover and a proud cat mom of a sweet orange boy named Jeff. Being a pet parent has genuinely been one of the biggest highlights of my life, but my love for animals began years ago. I grew up with two golden retrievers, Kona and Maggie. My family calls me the “dog whisperer” because every dog I meet decides that we’re best friends instantly. Before I joined River, I pet sat for many family members, roommates, and friends over the years. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. When you book me, you can expect great communication, plenty of photo updates, and someone who will genuinely treat your pet like their own. My schedule is fairly flexible since I work from home, so I am usually available to house sit during the week. I typically have plenty of availability over the weekend for walks or drop-ins as well. Whether it's drop-ins or extended overnight care, I am very happy to learn and follow your routine for your pet in order to provide the best care possible :)

“Kat has been a great help for potty breaks with our dog. He's slow to warm up with new people and Kat was great taking the time to get to know him. She follows his care instructions to the letter and gives us a very detailed report each visit, we look forward to working with her more!”

“I left for an extended weekend and came back to 3 happy cats. Galaxy was able to administer 2 meds and the inhaler everyday for my senior cat. I highly recommend Galaxy for any of your house or pet sitting needs. Thank you Galaxy!”

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: 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.

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!
