“Yeti had a lot of fun during his stay visiting with other dogs. Jing was super kind and sweet. She sent updates of Yeti soon after we left to re-assure us that our puppy was adjusting well. We are really thankful.”
“Biscuit had an amazing time here. It was like a second home. Angelica was amazing with communication and updates. Will definitely use her in the future for all biscuit care!”
“Rika was a wonderful dogsitter. Meili felt comfortable and was happy while I was away. Rika sent frequent updates which were much appreciated. Meili has severe allergies and I felt at ease to know how well Rika watched over him.”
“Excellent boarding of my little dog Dino. He had fun playing with her dog and kids. HE was well taken care of by Janice and her family. I will definitely board with her in the future.”
“Cathy and Andres were wonderful! I was gone for five days and they took such great care of my dog. They always kept me updated on how my dog was doing. It was a complete load off my mind. They also have a great, sweet dog who kept mine company. Overall, this was a fantastic experience.”
“We had to leave our puppy with Eric for almost 10 days and he took good care of him. He frequently sent video updates and replied to my queries right away. Eric is very good with dogs and I could see how my baby was cared for.”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“Thank you for taking care of Code once again! We are so thankful for Sherice, Kelly and family for looking after Code on short notice. He was so happy and truly enjoyed the company and warmth of their home. We look forward to having him visit again soon.”
“Connie and Victor are absolute angels and took such good care of my dog. They sent more updates faster than I could even ask for them, and really have made their home a great sanctuary for pets. I'm going to be booking with them lots in the future! Thanks again!”
“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Gus had a great vacation with Loretta and her family, he was very comfortable there. Loretta provided daily photos of Gus eating, walking and sleeping and was easy to communicate with.”
About: Together, my partner and I have over 30 years of professional experience working with dogs. We believe great boarding is about more than just supervision. As full time trainers, we provide a safe, structured environment while getting to know each dog as an individual. From puppies and seniors to working breeds and rescue dogs, we’ve helped dogs with all kinds of personalities and training needs. Our goal is simple: for your dog to enjoy their stay and for you to feel confident they’re in experienced hands. Caring for dogs isn’t something we squeeze into our schedule, it’s what we do every day. As full time dog trainers, our days are built around the dogs in our care. Every dog receives regular exercise, enrichment, potty breaks, and plenty of individual attention in a safe, structured home environment. We believe good management creates a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog. We carefully assess each dog’s temperament and comfort level, supervise all interactions, and make thoughtful decisions about play groups and rest time. We have crates and separate spaces available when needed, and our fenced yard provides a secure place for exercise and enrichment. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, relaxed, and excited to come back.
“Tina took care of my baby pup, Max, for four days and three nights while I was out of town. Upon meeting Tina, I knew she would be a great sitter for Max as it was clear that she was a dog lover and natural dog mother. She did a great job explaining what Max's stay would be like, including what their daily routine would be like, the other dogs that were scheduled to stay with her while Max was there, and what extracurricular activities they would take the dogs on (e.g., hiking at Runyon Canyon, dog parks, etc.). Tina did a great job of keeping me informed daily by sending photos and recaps of Max's day. Max had a great time with Tina and her other dogs, going on walks several times a day, playing and snuggling with humans. When I picked up Max, he almost didn't even want to go home. I highly recommend Tina as a dog sitter if you want to make sure your four-legged baby is loved and well taken care of while you are away. ”
“I was super hesitant leaving anyone with my fur baby, but Steven made this process so easy. He constantly sent updates and pics and in all the pics my Mac looked so happy. I will definitely be booking with Steven again if needed. Highly recommend.”

“A wonderful cat-loving couple. My Lola is very shy and sometimes won’t even eat when I’m away. I count on sensitive sitters to make her feel comfortable. Aisa and David did exactly that. Lola is well-fed, hydrated, clean and calm. Thank you!”
About: I provide personalized one-on-one pet services to ensure every pet receives dedicated attention and care. For each service, I only accept one client’s pet(s) at a time.

“Thea is a very thorough and reliable cat sitter. Our fluffs were happy and healthy when we came back home. She even sent a cute video of them! Thank you so much again! 💖🐈”
“Shurovi is amazing. Our cats have specific and detailed feeding instructions. She follows the instructions exactly and makes sure to spend time with them after their done eating. Our cats love her too. Two of them even let her pick them up. One of them doesn't even like US to pick him up, but he'll let Shurovi. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Jing did a great job taking care of my 2 cats while we were away on a long vacation. She was friendly, responsive, and sent us updates on our cats through photos and text messages almost every day! We missed our babies so much but her updates made them feel a little closer. She even fed our cats snacks which they really enjoyed and it helped them get acclimated into their new environment!! 😸”

About: I am 20 and got my first pet at 5 years old! I love all animals. I am 13 years old in the picture of me and my pup. I have three doggies, I feed, bathe, and walk all three pups on a daily basis to ensure they are as strong and healthy as they can be. Because of my years of experience with my doggies I got recommended to family members to care for their pets when they are on vacation. I have been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors pets for the last 4 years. I love to stay active as I have been a competitive athlete for 17 years. I have a day job as a gymnastics coach and rock climb daily recreationally. Pet care and dog walking fit into my daily schedule in the morning or afternoon before my shift begins or after a morning climb. For dog walking I carry my own supplies in case of emergencies such as universal leash (approved my pet parent, bags, healthy natural treats(approved by pet parent), and water. I always walk or do a light jog at the pace the dog is comfortable with and make sure they feel safe.
“Felicia was great! Easygoing, communicative, responsive, and built rapport with the cats really quickly. We felt at ease that she was looking after the cats and we would definitely work with her again.”
About: Back during the pandemic there was a city cat that had babies in my neighbors yard. Their yard was a too hazardous for the kittens so i ended up taking care of them. Their momma ended coming back and became very comfortable with our home. Eventually as they got older they were safely relocated together

“Jing was truly amazing with my dogs! From the very first meeting, they were instantly calm around her, which never happens with new people. She has such a gentle, grounding presence, and you can tell she genuinely understands animals. Before the actual sitting, she even took them for a walk at the park to help them get comfortable with her, which I appreciated so much. Throughout the day, Jing kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. My dogs absolutely adored her, and I could see how well cared for and relaxed they were when I got home. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Angelica was great. She accommodated some changes to our schedule, and the communications were prompt. We had a fantastic day, knowing our pup was in good hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat next time in Pasadena. Thank you Angelica!”
“You know it’s a good sign when your dog is so happy to see a sitter that they don’t even look back when they go inside. We always feel happy and at ease dropping our Ruby off with Cathy and Andres!”
“Xue was amazing! She took care of my baby on short notice, which saved my life. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, and made me feel safe to leave her at her place. Would definitely book again”
“It’s really a very nice experience that we found Tuotian to take care of our dog. They treated her as a family member. Our dog is super energetic but they played with her with love and patience. I received lots of video clips and saw my dog”
About: 💁♂️Communication is available in English, 中文 (Chinese), and Español (Spanish), helping pet parents feel informed and confident throughout their pet's stay. Providing personalized home-style boarding and daycare in a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. To ensure every dog receives plenty of attention and supervision, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. For safety reasons, I exclusively care for small dogs under 20 lbs. This helps avoid the risks that can come from mixing large and small dogs together, where significant size differences may increase the chance of accidental injuries during play and daily interactions. With over 10 years of pet care experience and a professional pet grooming background, I understand the unique needs of small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs requiring medications or supplements. Feeding instructions, medications, and daily routines are carefully followed to help every dog feel comfortable and secure while away from home. Dogs enjoy supervised free-roaming time, comfortable indoor spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because this is a home environment rather than a large commercial facility, each dog receives individualized care and close supervision. Whether your dog is staying for a day, a weekend, or an extended visit, they will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and affection as my own pets. 💻 My husband and I currently work from home full-time, running a pet boarding and grooming studio 🐾✂️. This allows us to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. 🧡 🏡 We're available for boarding every day, including weekends and holidays 🎉, and we ensure your pet stays on their routine with regular feeding 🍽️, playtime 🎾, and bathroom breaks 🚶♂️. 🐶 Your dog will stay in a quiet, smoke-free home 🏡 with two gentle small dogs 🐶🐶 and no children. They’ll live freely in our shared space like part of the family 💕 and will not be crated or kept apart — unless requested. Pets are welcome on furniture 🛋️ if they’re comfortable. 🐱 For cats, we provide a cozy private cat room 🏠 equipped with toys 🎲, a cat tree 🐾, and an automatic water fountain 💧. It’s a calm and relaxing space where cats can feel safe, comfortable, and completely undisturbed by dogs. 😺✨ ✨ My home is secure, clean, and ideal for small dogs who enjoy a calm environment 🌿 and close companionship 🤍 — and equally perfect for cats who appreciate peace and independence. 🐾 📸 Fun Fact: My husband is also a photographer 🎞️ and loves snapping beautiful portraits of our furry guests 🐕🐈 — you might get some frame-worthy shots to remember their stay! 🖼️💫
“Haijin and Victor were so happy to see my pup again this evening and my dog was excited to see them again too! Another positive experience. Great communication. Thank you!”
“Both of my rescue babies, Kiba and Arya with Gigi for daycare. I was so so happy and surprised to find that my skeptical baby, Kiba- showed Gigi affection a lot faster than his usual pace! When I picked them up, they both seemed happy :) Thank you so much!”
About: I offer dedicated, private boarding in Pasadena with a strict one-family-at-a-time policy. Your dog will receive personalized, high-attention care in a calm home environment, without ever having to compete with pets from multiple unfamiliar households.

Daily Peace of Mind: High-quality daily photo and video updates showing meals, walks, and playtime so you always stay connected.

Feel free to message me with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pup at a Meet & Greet! I work part-time and am home for the vast majority of the day, giving me plenty of flexible time to give your pet constant attention and supervision. Our household has a fun, active routine: we let the dogs out into our yard every 2 to 3 hours for playtime, fetch, and frisbee. In addition to yard play, I take them on 1 to 2 dedicated neighborhood walks every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your pup will be welcomed into a warm, pet-loving home where they are treated like family. Alongside my own friendly dog, I have a 14-year-old brother, who is passionate about animals and loves keeping pets company with calm companionship and playtime. We prioritize safety and comfort above all. Our home has a secure yard for safe outdoor fun, and pets are never left unattended during activities. Whether your dog thrives on interactive play or prefers a cozy, quiet spot to relax, we tailor our routine to their unique personality and keep you updated with regular photos and message.

“Bingbing was super sweet and accommodating. She hosted a meet a greet before confirming booking to ensure my doggo Luna felt comfortable in her care. She has a nice big gated yard with plenty or grass and sunbathing space, and she made sure I brought my doggo some toys and a blanket and feeding instructions to make sure Luna could adjust as it was her first time in a doggy daycare setting. She sent me many many updates and candid Luna photos and videos throughout the day. Overall 10/10 all around. Hope to bring my baby back soon! She LOVED Bingbing 🤩!”
“Chuckie absolutely loves spending the day with Lawrence! As soon as we arrive he gets excited and can't wait to get out of the car. Lawrence is kind and patient with him, takes him on several walks, and spends time cuddling with him. I know my baby boy is well taken care of every time and I am so very thankful!”
“Christina was super sweet and understanding when i was in need of a last minute sitter for my dog! I can tell my dog really enjoyed his time at Christina’s and i would request for her again! I highly recommend Christina as your doggo’s sitter! Thank you for taking care of Rocket last minute!!!”
“Junyao was an excellent find for our 8 week old Golden puppy. She kept us updated with notes and pics while following instructions to help crate train. She was always responsive and Beddy was super excited each morning as we parked into her driveway! Will book again!”
“Yifan has been wonderful. She suggested a meet and greet at a park before our first daycare booking. This put me at ease as a first-time Rover user. My baby BooBoo is a senior dog who can be anxious, so Yifan’s updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind. BooBoo settled in and became comfortable throughout the day. I’ve already booked with Yifan and I feel confident leaving my fur baby in her care. 💗”
“Felicia is absolutely amazing! We can't thank her enough for her exceptional care and attention to detail. Her communication skills are impeccable, and she went above and beyond to give us peace of mind during Ollie's stay. We were especially grateful for her flexibility when we needed a last-minute vaccination, and she accommodated us without hesitation. Her passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and she is dedicated to ensuring that all furry babies are well taken care of, while keeping their human parents informed and updated throughout the entire process. We really appreciated the fact that she consistently provided us with photo updates during Ollie's time at daycare. It was heartwarming to see Ollie having a great time and being well-cared for. Not only is Felicia an incredible caregiver, but she is also an absolute gem of a person. Her genuine love for animals, exceptional communication skills, and willingness to go the extra mile make her the perfect choice for any pet parent. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found her.”
About: Hello! My name is Jianlei. I’ve had the privilege of caring for three dogs, from their playful puppy days through their senior years. Over time, I’ve learned how to meet their changing needs with patience, love, and attention. Every dog has their own unique personality, and it brings me real joy to understand and care for them as individuals. When you entrust your dog to me, I will personally care for them with the same love and attention I give my own family. Your dog will receive plenty of personal attention in a calm, quiet, and loving environment. Your dog will enjoy 24/7 companionship while staying with me. I spend most of my time at home, and whenever I go out—whether for a walk, a trip to the park, or even a quick errand—I will take your dog with me whenever possible. The only exceptions are essential trips to places where dogs are not allowed, such as the grocery store or medical appointments. We have a cozy, welcoming home with a fenced yard and a small garden where your dog can safely relax and play during the day. On weekends, if the weather and schedule allow, I’ll also take your dog to a larger park where they can explore, enjoy new sights and smells, and safely socialize with other dogs. While staying with us, your dog will receive gentle brushing, plenty of affection, playtime, and cuddles every day. If you’d like, I can also trim their nails weekly to help keep them comfortable and healthy. I also offer homemade meals prepared with fresh, organic ingredients and tailored to your dog’s dietary needs and preferences. This is an optional add-on service with an additional fee. Feel free to ask me about meal options and pricing. Your dog is welcome to explore all areas of our home except the bed. If needed, I can also prepare a quiet, private room where they can relax and have their own space. I understand that dogs need both freedom and a sense of security, and I’ll do everything I can to help them feel calm, comfortable, and loved while they’re away from home. I truly look forward to welcoming your furry friend into our home! Our Daily & Weekly Schedule Here’s a little glimpse into the daily and weekly routine your pet will enjoy while staying with us: 🌅 Morning: Start the day with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and stretch those legs. Feed breakfast and make sure everyone is happy and relaxed. 🌞 Late Morning / Early Afternoon: Brush and gently groom your dog and any of our cat friends together, keeping everyone looking their best and feeling comfy. Lots of cuddles, ear scratches, and gentle pats to show them they’re loved. Playtime in our yard or indoor playroom, depending on the weather. 🐾 Afternoon: Another walk to break up the day, offering new scents and sights to explore. More brushing, especially if your dog is a floofy friend who needs extra coat care! 🍽️ Evening: Dinner time for everyone! Relaxed playtime, snuggling up together, and winding down for a calm night. 🗓️ Weekly Highlights: Monday to Friday: Follow the daily routine above—two walks a day, daily grooming, play, and lots of love. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): We’ll take your dog to a larger local park so they can meet new friends, play in the grass, and sniff around new areas! Extra playtime, more exploring, and a chance to socialize with other dogs if they’re comfortable. Weekly Grooming: Once a week, if you’d like, I’ll trim your dog’s nails to keep them comfortable and healthy. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority. Each day is filled with gentle care, play, and affection, ensuring they feel at home even when they’re away from you. Let me know if there’s anything special your dog or cat enjoys—I’d love to make their stay extra special! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Our home is a cozy and secure place, with a fenced yard and a little garden where your dog can explore safely and freely. Just a minute’s walk from our house is a lovely small park, perfect for short walks and a bit of fresh air. Inside, your dog is welcome to move freely through every room in our home—except for the bed—so they can feel part of the family. If you’d prefer, I can also set up a separate, quiet room just for your dog, giving them their own cozy retreat. If your dog needs a bit of extra space or privacy, I’m always happy to create a dedicated room for them. I understand how important it is to create a space where your dog feels relaxed and cared for, especially when they’re away from you. I’m here to offer them all the love and attention they need, so they can feel safe, calm, and truly at home.
“Catherine and Albert took such great care of Cooper! They made him feel right at home from the minute he got there and treated him like family! They did so much to make him feel comfortable and get his energy out (he’s a high energy cocker spaniel). It’s so hard to find people that you know will care about your dog as much as you do but it’s so obvious that they genuinely love dogs. As somebody who is very nervous leaving their dog, I feel so confident that Cooper is comfortable and safe with them.”

“I had Cristina walk my dog for 2 weeks while I was away and would definitely book with her again! She's very attentive and gave me detailed updates. She also welcomed all the instruction I provided prior :)”
About: Patient, detail-oriented producer keeping pups on schedule with meds, potty breaks, and daily updates. Trusted for sick dog care and vet runs. I make detailed spreadsheets for dog medicine tracking. I work remotely from home and set my own schedule, so I’m free to step out for walks or stay overnight wherever my iPhone goes. Pets aren’t allowed in my place, which is exactly why I love giving back to the pet community. I always follow the owner’s rules and listen closely to their needs for their dog’s care.
About: Hi there! I’m Jing. I have loved dogs my entire life and have raised dogs since I was 12 years old. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers. We currently do not have personal pets at home. Over the past two years, I have cared for hundreds of boarding dogs, gaining extensive and professional hands‑on experience with all kinds of dog personalities and needs. I work from home full‑time. Except for occasional short outings of 1–2 hours, I stay home all day, so I can supervise and accompany your furry friend at all times.💕 I live in a safe, pet‑friendly house with a fully secured private backyard. The yard features 6‑foot tall double fences and solid walls, built to minimize escape risks and designed to deter coyotes from entering the property. The ground combines durable concrete flooring and soft artificial grass. The surface stays clean and mud‑free, so pups won’t track dirt indoors. The yard is thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected three times daily: morning, noon, and evening. I take extra care to cool down the artificial grass during hot summer hours so pups can play comfortably. Your dogs can play freely and safely in an always‑fresh hygienic environment. Separated by an extra safety fence, we have a fully enclosed private swimming pool. The pool is only open during summer. With explicit owner approval, water‑loving dogs can enjoy fully supervised swimming and water play sessions.🐾 My Care Approach I am a patient, attentive, and loving in‑home dog sitter. I treat every visiting dog with careful, family‑style care.🐕 I accept friendly dogs under 40 lbs. I cannot accept dogs with aggressive behavior or severe anxiety issues. Multiple dogs may board at the same time. When hosting multi‑dog stays, I introduce dogs to each other one‑on‑one slowly and carefully. I separate quiet, calm dogs and high‑energy playful dogs into different activity areas, so every pup has its own comfortable space without stress. I provide a wide variety of interactive and puzzle toys. All toys are regularly washed, sanitized, and disinfected for safe, all‑day free play. Important Rules & Pre‑check Information • If your dog is unneutered or has marking behavior, please inform me in advance. Additional fees will apply. • All dogs must be fully vaccinated. • I provide daily snacks at noon and in the afternoon. Please notify me of any food allergies before check‑in. • Please inform me of any medication needs or special health requirements in advance. Daily Care Includes: • Multiple supervised outdoor play sessions in the fully fenced backyard • Customized activities based on each dog’s age, personality, and energy level • Full‑day companionship, gentle attention, and sufficient rest time Enrichment Equipment: • Snuffle mats for scent enrichment • Mental stimulation puzzle toys • Various interactive toys All play tools are strictly sanitized regularly. 🕒 Check‑in & Check‑out Time Policy My business hours are 7 AM – 9 PM. All drop‑offs and pick‑ups must be scheduled within this time frame. For stays longer than 24 hours, I offer a 2–3 hour grace period. Any overtime beyond the grace period will be charged additionally. 🏊 Summer Pool Supervision Pool access is seasonal and owner‑approved only. Water play is completely optional for the dog, and all water activities are closely supervised personally to ensure every dog’s safety. 🐾 About Crate Use I do not support long crating hours. I will never crate your dog without your permission. I prefer letting dogs move freely and comfortably in a secure home environment. If your dog is crate‑trained or needs a crate for rest and safety, I am happy to follow your instructions. 🏡 Cleanliness & Safety Safety and cleanliness are my top priorities. Both indoor areas and the backyard are cleaned and maintained daily to ensure a comfortable, pet‑safe environment. 🍓 Optional Add‑on Services (Extra Fee) Available upon advance request: • 🦷 Dental tartar cleaning & full dog bathing service • 🍗 Homemade fresh customized meals (based on your instructions, portion sizes, and allergy notes) ❤️ My Care Philosophy With rich experience caring for hundreds of dogs, I deeply understand every owner’s worry and trust. I will send regular photo updates to keep you posted on your pup’s well‑being. My only goal: To let every dog feel safe, happy, relaxed, and sincerely loved during their stay. Looking forward to meeting your lovely furry family members!🐾💕 🐶 A Typical Day in My Care Every pup in my home enjoys a warm, structured, and loving routine: 🌞 Morning – We kick off the day in the backyard! Pups get to stretch their legs, do their morning potty, and play around before enjoying a delicious breakfast. 🌤️ Midday – We head outside to the yard for a quick potty break and a little fun. Afterward, we spend most of the time indoors—relaxing in a cozy, air-conditioned room if it’s hot—so everyone can enjoy a peaceful midday nap. 🌿 Afternoon – After naptime, the pups can head back out to the yard to play, explore, or just relax. I’m always home, so your pup is never left alone and always receives plenty of love and attention. 🌆 Evening – Dinner time! For any picky eaters, I like to mix in a little shredded chicken or tasty toppers to encourage them to eat up. After dinner, they head back out to the yard for more play and relaxing family time. 🌙 Night – Right before bedtime, we go out to the yard one last time for a final potty break. Afterward, your pup can settle down for a calm, restful night, feeling completely safe and loved in their favorite cozy spot. 🏡 A Safe & Secure Home Away from Home Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is a single-family house with a spacious backyard that features a double-gate system for extra peace of mind. Your furry friend can run and play in total safety, with zero risk of wandering off! Additionally, we have an in-ground pool surrounded by its own locked safety fence. The pool area stays securely locked at all times to ensure complete safety. However, if your pup is a water lover, I’m more than happy to unlock the gate and supervise some splash time with your permission! Indoors, our home is clean, quiet, and kept refreshingly cool with air conditioning on hot days. Because I am home full-time, your pup will never be left alone. Whether they are napping, playing in the yard, or enjoying cozy cuddle time, they’ll receive gentle, around-the-clock care. I treat every dog like family—balancing fun, structure, and endless love. With regular photo and video updates sent directly to you, you can relax with complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in a reliable, super secure, and loving environment. ❤️
“Thanks Christine for taking such great care of both Bowie and Nellie! They had a great time with your dog! I’m so happy we connected! You did a great job! Looking forward to the next time I need help with a Bowie!”
About: I love dogs… of all kinds! That’s an understatement. My boy is Sailor, the Siberian Husky you see in my profile. The other two dogs—Bokee & Penny—are my friend’s dogs that I dog-sit for whenever I’m needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with any breed. Your furry friend will love hanging out with Auntie Tamara. I work for myself so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. From feeding to walking to bathing to chilling, your pup and I will be the best of friends. In terms of my house, I have a yard with high walls so Sailor doesn’t even try to go anywhere unless it’s with me. When taking care of my friend’s dogs, they entrust me with their house key so I can come over and watch over the pups (even when they’re older, they’re always puppies in my eyes). When you ask me to dog-sit for you in your home, you can trust me to treat your space with the utmost respect. Same goes for the fur babies. They’re always in good hands with Auntie Tamara.
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so ill make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos, messages, and details about how their pet is doing. Taking the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care every visit. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As a soccer player, I stay active and enjoy going on runs, long walks, and spending time outdoors, which allows me to provide plenty of exercise and engagement for pets in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate extra time and attention to each pet throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, any medication instructions, and any specific preferences provided by the owner.
About: I am a patient, detail‑oriented caregiver. I specialize in overnight house sitting and drop‑in check‑ins for cats and calm small‑medium dogs. I can handle daily feeding, fresh water refills, litter box cleaning, medication administration and backyard potty breaks only. I treat every pet with great care and respect, keep your home safe. Flexible weekday & weekend schedule. I have flexible time on weekdays and weekends. I can fully commit myself during house‑sitting stays and drop‑in visits.

“Christina is super helpful when my family is out of town. She keeps great communications and make sure we know all the updates. My dog was having some tummy issues that week and Christina was really patient dealing with my little brat while he’s a little ill. Thank you so much for the help 🙏😊👌”
About: I have taken care of my dog for four years. In additional, I have helped a friend dog sit their dog for two month while they are on vacation. Have taken care of female dogs during heat. I will prioritize the pets’ routine during my day. Usually walk the dog in the morning around 8 and feed them breakfast. Then I will go about my day. I have a very flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to play with the dog. In the afternoon I will take her on a second walk of the day and feed her dinner. Scheduled daily walks and meal time. I would play with them whenever I have a chance. Give them space to rest when it is needed.
About: I been taking care of dogs since I remember… I would love your dog as if it was my own… I am very patient with puppies & willing to train them while they spend some time at my casita. I currently have the most perfect work schedule with a lot of availability that I would love to take care of your furry babies on my days off. I have a fenced backyard! A lot of room to run around… I have to two dogs of my own that would love to have more friends!
About: Have had cats and dogs my entire life and have ample experience walking, training and overall taking care of pets keeping them active and healthy. I have afternoon and mid-day available for walking can also fit in some early morning routes. Mainly do this part time and love animals more specifically dogs so it’s a dream to decompress and be around my furry friends. I more specifically focus on dog walking and making sure the dogs walking and getting some exercise and get a change of scenery. This way both the dog and I can have a bit of exercise and bonding experience.
About: I am 20 and got my first pet at 5 years old! I love all animals. I am 13 years old in the picture of me and my pup. I have three doggies, I feed, bathe, and walk all three pups on a daily basis to ensure they are as strong and healthy as they can be. Because of my years of experience with my doggies I got recommended to family members to care for their pets when they are on vacation. I have been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors pets for the last 4 years. I love to stay active as I have been a competitive athlete for 17 years. I have a day job as a gymnastics coach and rock climb daily recreationally. Pet care and dog walking fit into my daily schedule in the morning or afternoon before my shift begins or after a morning climb. For dog walking I carry my own supplies in case of emergencies such as universal leash (approved my pet parent, bags, healthy natural treats(approved by pet parent), and water. I always walk or do a light jog at the pace the dog is comfortable with and make sure they feel safe.
About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the LA area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.

“We had to leave our puppy with Eric for almost 10 days and he took good care of him. He frequently sent video updates and replied to my queries right away. Eric is very good with dogs and I could see how my baby was cared for.”
“We really appreciated Lisa (and her family’s) care for our dog Kunga! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent updates. Kunga loved her time there. Would totally leave Kunga with Lisa again.”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Gus had a great vacation with Loretta and her family, he was very comfortable there. Loretta provided daily photos of Gus eating, walking and sleeping and was easy to communicate with.”
About: Together, my partner and I have over 30 years of professional experience working with dogs. We believe great boarding is about more than just supervision. As full time trainers, we provide a safe, structured environment while getting to know each dog as an individual. From puppies and seniors to working breeds and rescue dogs, we’ve helped dogs with all kinds of personalities and training needs. Our goal is simple: for your dog to enjoy their stay and for you to feel confident they’re in experienced hands. Caring for dogs isn’t something we squeeze into our schedule, it’s what we do every day. As full time dog trainers, our days are built around the dogs in our care. Every dog receives regular exercise, enrichment, potty breaks, and plenty of individual attention in a safe, structured home environment. We believe good management creates a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog. We carefully assess each dog’s temperament and comfort level, supervise all interactions, and make thoughtful decisions about play groups and rest time. We have crates and separate spaces available when needed, and our fenced yard provides a secure place for exercise and enrichment. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, relaxed, and excited to come back.
“Tina took care of my baby pup, Max, for four days and three nights while I was out of town. Upon meeting Tina, I knew she would be a great sitter for Max as it was clear that she was a dog lover and natural dog mother. She did a great job explaining what Max's stay would be like, including what their daily routine would be like, the other dogs that were scheduled to stay with her while Max was there, and what extracurricular activities they would take the dogs on (e.g., hiking at Runyon Canyon, dog parks, etc.). Tina did a great job of keeping me informed daily by sending photos and recaps of Max's day. Max had a great time with Tina and her other dogs, going on walks several times a day, playing and snuggling with humans. When I picked up Max, he almost didn't even want to go home. I highly recommend Tina as a dog sitter if you want to make sure your four-legged baby is loved and well taken care of while you are away. ”
“I was super hesitant leaving anyone with my fur baby, but Steven made this process so easy. He constantly sent updates and pics and in all the pics my Mac looked so happy. I will definitely be booking with Steven again if needed. Highly recommend.”
“It’s always been very hard for us to leave our dog, but Catherine and Albert have made it so much easier for us to travel without worry! They truly go above and beyond to make him feel like he’s just part of their family. Our dog loves playing in their amazing backyard and walking in their beautiful and safe neighborhood! They also put a lot of thought and time into making sure the pack is a good fit so everyone has fun and is comfortable! Beyond being wonderful and caring with him, they were so kind when our flight was delayed this past trip. They stepped in to watch him for an extra night without a second thought, which was such a huge relief during a stressful travel day. We’re so grateful to have found such kind, caring, reliable people who care for our pup as much as we do!”
“Felicia was amazing!! She treated our Loki just like one of her own! He loved having other dogs to play with! as well! Felicia is a dog whisperer and I'm so glad we found someone so loving to care for our Loki when needed.”
“We had to leave town for a few days and have a sweet dog that has some isolation anxiety issues. Fortunately Chengyi and her family were excellent. It seems like our dog was a part of their family for a few days and well cared for. It was a big relief for us to know that we didn't have to worry about our dog while we were away and we would absolutely board her there again.”
“We hadn’t taken an overseas vacation in over five years because it’s always been so hard for us to leave our dogs, and honestly, we struggled to find someone we truly trusted. But after our meet and greet with Janelle and Alvin, I immediately felt at ease and knew our babies would be in great hands. I’m so happy to say that instinct was absolutely right. They took care of our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. Janelle was incredible with communication! She sent updates and photos regularly without me ever needing to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Both Janelle and Alvin have such a calm, kind demeanor, and their home is clean, cozy, and clearly a safe space for pets. One of our dogs is usually very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he surprised us by opening up to them right away. That alone speaks volumes. I can’t recommend them enough, and we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you Janelle and Alvin for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Jianle was great. He sent us photos of our dogs throughout the trip. When we needed to extend our travel, he was accommodating and responsive throughout all of it. Highly recommend!”
“Bingbing was amazing! Right from our initial meet and greet, I knew Frankie would be in great hands. She was warm, communicative, and kept me updated with tons of photos throughout his stay. Frankie had the absolute best time with her, it really felt like his own little doggy vacation! I highly recommend Bingbing and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Frankie!”
“Our pup had an amazing time at Alysha’s! Alysha took him on lots of hikes and walks, and he also spent time running around in the backyard. It was the perfect setup for our high-energy dog, and we’d recommend Alysha in a heartbeat!”
