“We left Max with Zac over 4th of July cause we both had to work. Max doesn’t handle fireworks very well (newsflash). Zac was super helpful and his pups were great company for Max. ❤️”
“Kiff is as good as a dog sitter can be. He brings so much care and attention to the process, and puts both dogs and owners at ease every step of the way. Finn was incredibly sad to leave, but he’ll be ecstatic to return.”
“Sylvia and Ethan are amazing! We knew they were the right match to watch over our fur child the day we had our meet & greet. We’re big on family, they treated my dog and us just like family. Sylvia asked plenty of questions as to our pup’s care to make sure his routines go smoothly. Rusty loved the spacious backyard and socializing with the daycare pets. During our time away we received at least 3 photos and 1 video, sometimes more. Which we loved! the more the merrier! We loved watching our furchild living his best life while we were away. They respected the time difference and sent photos during appropriate timeframes. Thank you for that! They took on the task of Rusty’s daily meds, which I know can be a hassle, but thank you for taking on our pup. Such a pleasant experience. We hope to book with them in the future, if they’ll have us. ?”
“No complaints whatsoever while watching my cats, Sabrina was prepared to handle any difficulties, although none came up, and because she works remotely I didn't have to worry about them during the day.”
“Alla was incredible to Astro. It was his first time with a sitter and Alla calmed his nerves and made him feel right at home. We will be using her again soon! Thank you Alla! ❤️”

“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“Donghae was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the moment they met, I could tell my dog felt comfortable and cared for. Donghae went above and beyond—taking the most adorable photos and sending regular updates that truly made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my dog was. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

Chewy loves seeing them, which says a lot! grateful for the care and attention they give him and would highly recommend Justin and Athena to anyone looking for trustworthy, experienced, and caring pet sitters.”
“Nancy walks Waylyn during when I’m at work and last minute was able to sit her for the weekend as well when my previous plans fell through. She sends such cute pictures and gives Waylyn a good long walk!”
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, with a strong focus on cat care. I regularly care for a friend’s cat while they travel every few months, and I’ve fostered cats in the past, including providing care for a post-surgery cat. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and following detailed routines to ensure pets feel safe and stress-free. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. As a longtime pet owner myself, including a 15-year-old dog and a few cats, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every animal like my own.
About: Hi folks. My name is Mad, and I’d love to support you in caring for your pet! I have a cat who is the center of my world and grew up with a mini golden doodle. I promise to treat your pet as my own, and understand the importance of learning each pet’s unique needs and quirks. I am happy to help with dog walks, cat visits, plant care, mail collection, etc. I’m based in Echo Park. Shoot me a message and I’ll get back to you shortly! I just quit my corporate job (wooo)!! I am very flexible with scheduling and can work around your pet’s needs. I have a car and am excited to fill some of my free time with animals.

“Isabel was great, the cats loved her! She took care of everything we asked for and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. We’ll definitely rebook with her again.”
About: Over the past two years, I’ve been the proud pet parent of my rescue cat, Duckie, a beautiful York Chocolate cat. Bringing Duckie home taught me so much about building trust, understanding cat behavior, and creating a safe, loving environment where a cat can truly thrive. Every day, I care for all of Duckie’s needs, including feeding her, keeping fresh water available, cleaning and maintaining her litter box, brushing her coat when needed, monitoring her overall health, and making sure she gets plenty of enrichment through play and affection. I’ve learned to recognize her body language and respect her boundaries while also knowing when she’s looking for attention, cuddles, or playtime. As a rescue cat, Duckie has reminded me that every cat has a unique personality and adjusts at their own pace. Caring for her has helped me become patient, observant, and attentive to the little details that make cats feel comfortable and secure. Whether a cat is outgoing, shy, energetic, or prefers a quiet companion, I understand the importance of meeting them where they are and following their routine. In addition to caring for Duckie, I’ve also house sat for friends with cats, making sure they stayed happy and comfortable in their own homes while their owners were away. I followed each cat’s feeding schedule, refreshed their water, cleaned litter boxes, spent quality time playing with them, and gave them plenty of attention so they felt safe and cared for until their families returned. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else, and I treat every cat as if they were my own - with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
About: I have had pets in my house for almost all of my life, and in that time, I have learned how to handle many sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and other various demands of care. Ready to play and work on training a new pup, or hang around with a senior dog. I am available all day on weekdays and weekends for walks, play or training sessions, or whatever other special care your furry friend might need. I will treat your pets like my own! That means lots of love and attention, at least once (often times two or more) daily walks, and playtime in the yard with my energetic corgi
About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.
“Kayla took great care of our cat, Chonky, while we were out of town for a few days. We did a M & G first and Chonky seemed to take an immediate liking to her :) She gave us updates of his feedings, water bowl refresh, litterbox status, with playtime/grooming pics. We will definitely use Kayla again!”

“We only interacted with Sylvia. She was gracious and incredibly knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable leaving our fairly new rescue for doggy day care. During the day she sent multiple photos and videos and our skiddish chihuahua mix even jumped into Sylvia’s lap by the end of the day. We will definitely be back!”

I raised our 4 family dogs in Norcal, 4 Presa Canarios, from puppies to now adults. I’ve raised and trained many dogs from Boston Terriers and Chihuahuas to Pitbulls and Dobermans. I have no pets in my Socal home but often go back to Norcal and care for the Presas! I love all dogs - any age, any size! Love cats too!!

I have a fenced front yard with space for your dog to run around and can easily take your dog outside for a walk for potty breaks!
“She was amazing with Sprite. I needed a last minute daycare while i was in town, and she was available, and they immediately clicked when we met up. She also sends photos and updates throughout the day to make me feel less anxious. Her building is super pet friendly so that also made me feel comforting. She's the best!!”
“This review is about a week late, just wanted to thank Kiff and Action 🐕 for taking care of Daisy 🐶 for my wife and I while we celebrated my wife’s birthday. We know Daisy being just a little over a year old can be a handful but Kiff was great and made us feel comfortable and confident that Daisy would be just fine. Thanks again Kiff and Action 🐾 👍”
“Jordan was super helpful in watching my dog, Pip, on short notice. Excellent communication and Pip warmed right up, so I felt totally confident leaving him in her care. Thank you again!”

“Sabrina so an excellent friend and sitter to my Rocky ! She messaged me early in the morning and took my request even though it was so last minute. My pup had so much fun”
About: I had an English Cocker Spaniel growing up, as well as a Miniature Schnauzer that lives back in Russia with my parents, who is now 17 years old! :) I lived with a Shiba Inu for the first few months of his life and know their personality really well. I always happily take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re away. I have extensive experience with Spaniels, Miniature Schnauzers, Cavapoos, Shiba Inu, Dalmatians and others, as you may see in the photos. I work from home, 8-4 PST, Monday to Friday, and happy to keep a dog company while at it - he’ll do the same for me! I live in an apartment, no yard, I’d never leave the dog out of sight. While on a walk, the dog would always be on a leash.
About: I’m a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker with experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—I care for my own family dog, so I’m familiar with routines, exercise needs, and giving lots of attention and love. I’ve worked with pets of different ages and personalities! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet like my own.

I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions like feeding schedules, walk times, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping the space clean and secure. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they are getting lots of attention and supervision.
“Pamela was a great host and dog sitter. Both my senior girls loved her and her dog Los! They have plenty of space to be dogs and she gave my girls walks and treats! I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Best experience! We were very hesitant to leave our dog with anyone as we have never boarded him before. Although we used Rover once in a different city, with satisfactory results. Upon immediately meeting Jae Woun, we knew we made the right choice. She was so warm and friendly, immediately taking a liking to our dog, Sam. Jae Woun also sent us pictures of her apartment and outdoor space, which helped put us at ease. She sent pictures and videos daily, with updates on how Sam was doing, from his eating habits to his daily walks. Being new to LA, couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Jae Woun! Sam says Hi!”
About: Hey there! We're Tom and Sharanya. We're dog lovers and lifelong caretakers of our families' pets. Our adorable dog Zoe is Chihuahua/Spaniel rescue with anxiety. We understand the unique challenges that come with anxiety-prone dogs, and Zoe has taught us valuable lessons in patience, empathy, and creating a calm and soothing environment. If you have a dog with a similar temperament, we'll be sure to accommodate them. Both of us work from home, though one of us may occasionally go into the office. Even so, there will always be someone at home to look after your dog. We ensure daily walks and engaging activities to keep dogs happy and active - just let us know your dog’s walking schedule and we will stick to it as best we can! We can also administer oral medicine as our own dog needs to take a daily pill. In our care, every dog is treated as a cherished member of our family. We take the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a personalized and loving experience. We will always go the extra mile to make sure your fur baby is getting the affection and care that they need.
About: What really sets me apart as a sitter is the way I connect with each pet. I take my time getting to know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and very consistent, which helps animals trust me quickly. I also have real experience with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I’m comfortable helping with things like crate training, potty schedules, and guiding them through all their “learning moments.” With senior pets, I’m very mindful of their comfort — I can move at their pace, help with mobility, give medication reminders, and make sure they feel calm and cared for. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make them feel loved, understood, and at ease while their owners are away Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. I’m already someone who loves being around animals, so it doesn’t feel like an extra task — it just becomes part of my day. I make time for morning and evening walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any little routines each pet is used to. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I’m able to check in throughout the day and make sure they’re getting attention, exercise, and comfort. It blends into my week in a way that feels easy and enjoyable for me, and consistent for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on keeping their routine familiar and comfortable. In my home, I provide a safe space, regular walks, playtime, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their instructions and treat their space with respect. No matter where I am, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I’ve both owned and sat for dozens and dozens of dogs over the years. I’ve been going to the Silverlake Dog Park for more than 30 years. I can board daytime and overnight and can work with you to make your pet's stay as enjoyable as possible. I’m mostly retired and am rarely away from home for more than 2 hours. I take pet sitting very seriously and treat my dog visitors like family. I have a fenced yard with gate closers. There is a pool available to dogs that enjoy it - but only if I’m supervising . I can do feedings and administer meds if required.
“Very friendly and knowledgeable dog lover and caretaker in a great location close to parks! His own black lab Logan is the sweetest calmest most easygoing dog I’ve met. My dog Mari quickly relaxed and became accustomed to them and seemed calm and happy when I picked her up. Would def book w Thomas again!”

“Ryan has walked my senior dog, Lily, several times now. She is very patient with her as she wants to smell all the things and he’s able to handle her around other dogs even though she’s dog aggressive. I will continue using Ryan whenever I need help and I encourage you to use him as well.”
“KC is such good vibes. Lupe loved him from the start. They walked a long distance in a short time and she came straight to nap after their walk, an epic success. Will definitely hit him up again! Thanks a ton KC!”
“Laura has been walking my dog weekly for almost a year, and we are so grateful to have her help. She's incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and most importantly, treats my senior pup with so much love & care. She's goes above and beyond: she sends photos, a short report after each walk, refills water bowls, makes sure the temperature is OK in the house — you name it. Laura is an essential part of our pup support community and anyone would be so lucky to have her take care of their pet. She loves animals SO much, and was made for this work!”
“Alyssa is very personable and was attentive to the instructions I gave her about not only walking the dog, but also about getting in and out of my apartment (which can be tricky). I appreciate her communication and will continue to use her services.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

“Tom and Sharanya were wonderful with our dog. You could tell that they really cared and paid attention to detail by the questions they asked us before taking kirra for her walks. They sent lots of photos and made sure to give us updates. I would definitely use them again for walking or watching our dog.”
About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals, but dogs have my heart these days — I have a 4-year-old dog of my own. Due to a recent life change, I only have him with me a couple of weeks a month, and I miss having a dog around way more than I expected. That’s what brought me to Rover — I want to fill that gap by giving another pup the love and attention I’d normally be giving mine. I have hands-on experience with puppies as well as small to mid-size dogs. I live in a multi-family home in Silver Lake with a fenced yard, in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks and sniff breaks. I also have the flexibility to work from home, so when I have a dog in my care, I’ll be around at home. I’m flexible most days of the week. Since I have the option to work from home, I’m able to be with your dog all day. I live in a multi-family home with a fenced yard in a walkable Silver Lake neighborhood — great for daily walks and outdoor time. Before any dog comes to stay, I make sure to dog-proof the space, putting away anything they might be able to reach or get into, so it’s a safe environment from the moment they arrive.

About: Experienced pet owner (3 dogs, 3 cats, currently own 1 dog) and dog fosterer between 2016-2018 for multiple organizations! I recently had a stray dog take shelter on my patio, likely not a coincidence, and after a week of coaxing managed to bring her inside my home with crate training (my dog Petunia was a great companion) and get her into rescue! See 3rd photo! I truly love animals and have experience with all sizes, energy levels and even fear based aggression. I administer meds to my dog daily and am extremely specific when it comes to my own dog's care, so I know what it means to be a client with high expectations! I love getting to know and develop bonds with animals and it has always been natural to me. Depending on your dog, my dog Petunia can cohabitate with yours or yours with mine. I have a flexible remote schedule, with more availability on Fridays and Saturdays. Afternoons and evenings during the week work very well for me! I consider any Rover service a delightful respite where I can disconnect amd focus on your pet! I have my own dog (see photos) so for extended dogsitting I can bring her to yours or have yours stay with us! I am very good about making a calm entrance to reassure any pet and get to know each pet "on their level".
About: Hey! I grew up with dogs in my household, so I’ve had a lot of training and experience with taking care of them. I regularly go for a walk, run or hike with the dogs I watch around Echo Park lake or Elysian park, which is in close proximity to my apartment if they are up for it! I have a decent size apartment for them to explore, but am very careful not to leave items out that could cause any harm. I love cuddling up with pups and look forward to meeting you both! I generally work from home as a freelance creative, and am around most weekends, giving me ample time to play with and walk your pup. I have a decent sized apartment and little patio space where dogs can co-habitat and roam freely. I can crate if necessary as well. I clean regularly and am careful not to leave out items or food that may be chewed on or swallowed.
About: A Home Full of Dog Lovers 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, whether welcoming them into my home or staying in theirs. I’ve had the joy of spending time with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities, and I truly love getting to know what makes each dog unique. Our whole household is made up of big dog lovers, so having pups around is something we genuinely enjoy. We’re attentive to the little things—getting to know their personalities, noticing when they need some extra attention or downtime, and making sure they feel included, comfortable, and loved. And of course, our house is always stocked with dog treats! I also love making homemade treats for our furry guests, adding a little extra homemade love to their stay. 🦴❤️ We treat every dog who comes through our door like part of the family. Whether they’re playful and social, a little shy, or happiest curled up beside you, we’re happy to meet them where they are and give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship during their stay. Your Pup’s Home Away From Home 🐾❤️ We’re a dog-loving household with flexible schedules and plenty of time to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We want every dog who stays with us to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Our pups get the best of both worlds: fun outdoor adventures and cozy time at home. We have a fully fenced yard and dog run for safe play, and we love going for walks, exploring parks, and enjoying hikes. For dogs who prefer relaxing, there’s always a comfy spot waiting for plenty of belly rubs, snuggles, and even a little pup massage! We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and favorite activities. We know every dog is different, and we’ll take the time to learn what makes your pup feel happy and comfortable. Communication is important to us, too. You’ll receive regular photos, videos, and daily updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time while you’re away. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. My mom fostered animals, so I grew up caring for multiple dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. We’d love the opportunity to welcome your furry family member into our home and give them the same love, care, and attention we’d want for our own dog. 🐶 This version is designed to work well on Rover because it emphasizes what the dog will experience, rather than simply listing what you offer. It also naturally answers the questions a pet parent is likely to have before booking. A Safe, Comfortable & Social Home 🐾 Your pup’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’re happy to follow their normal routine or introduce them to our relaxed household routine, starting the day with cuddles, breakfast, and a morning potty break. Throughout the day, they’ll have plenty of options to feel comfortable—from snuggling in bed or relaxing on one of our two large couches to having their crate available if that’s what they’re used to. We live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with lots of pups around and a dog park close by, making it a fun environment for dogs who enjoy socializing. We love getting outside for walks, including evening walks when the weather is cooler, and we enjoy taking a hike at least once a week. There are plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. We regularly welcome dogs into our home, so your pup will have the opportunity to enjoy a social, welcoming environment with plenty of companionship. For an added layer of peace of mind, we use AirTags as an extra precaution when caring for dogs, along with our secure home and fenced yard. Most importantly, we want you to feel confident knowing your dog is being cared for with the same attention, patience, and love we’d want for our own.
About: I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors and blind dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had 7 dogs, 5 cats, a horse, rabbits, hamsters, and even a rat over the years, so I’m well-versed in all kinds of animal quirks, needs, and love languages. I have a calm, intuitive way with animals - the kind of energy that helps anxious pets feel safe and confident. I’m experienced in administering medications, supporting dogs with chronic or multiple medical conditions, and tailoring routines to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s crate training a new puppy, giving meds on a strict schedule, or providing gentle companionship to a senior dog who just wants company, I meet each pet exactly where they are. I treat every animal like my own - with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a freelance creative working mostly from home, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be fully present with pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles are part of my daily rhythm, and I structure my work around their needs to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications if needed, providing walks, playtime, and companionship, and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine.
About: I grew up on a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, and have cared for animals my entire life. I grew up in a multi dog/animal household and have owned a variety of breeds including Pit Bulls, Border Collies, Beagles, Terriers, Kelplis, Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, Dobermans and many more. I have trained puppies as young as 8 weeks old and have taught ticks such as roll over, stay, and “sit pretty”. I have an assertive yet loving attitude which allows me to work with dogs that may have behavioral issues or considered a “handful”. I have owned rescue dogs so I know how to approach and care for dogs that maybe nervous or skittish. Overall, I love all animals and have been told that I have a gift with them. I cannot wait to meet your best friend! I am currently available in the evenings on Monday- Friday and have open availability on the weekends. I am able to house sit during the week and weekend I am not able to have pets at my home, but am can follow any instructions that are needed to care for your pet in your home!

About: I had an English Cocker Spaniel growing up, as well as a Miniature Schnauzer that lives back in Russia with my parents, who is now 17 years old! :) I lived with a Shiba Inu for the first few months of his life and know their personality really well. I always happily take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re away. I have extensive experience with Spaniels, Miniature Schnauzers, Cavapoos, Shiba Inu, Dalmatians and others, as you may see in the photos. I work from home, 8-4 PST, Monday to Friday, and happy to keep a dog company while at it - he’ll do the same for me! I live in an apartment, no yard, I’d never leave the dog out of sight. While on a walk, the dog would always be on a leash.

“Deanna was phenomenal! She helped me when I was in a pickle and needed a dog sitter on very short notice.

I can’t thank Deanna enough!”
“Jade is awesome! My dog Murphy was well taken care of, socialized, and clean (+ all of his things- food, bed, meds- were all tidy and organized as well which I really appreciate!). I’ll definitely be booking Jade again. Thanks so much for taking care of my senior pup!”

“Jenn was absolutely wonderful, and Moose clearly loved his stay with her. From the moment I picked him up, it was obvious he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. Jenn was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring, and it showed in how comfortable Moose was with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Jenn again or recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent, trustworthy sitter.”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and affection. I’m responsible, attentive to their routines, and always take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or simply loves relaxing beside someone, I treat them with care and respect. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and never alone. I work from home as a musician and producer, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods of time. I can easily work around their feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines. I love having animals around while I work, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home. Because I work from home, your pet will have someone around for most of the day. I provide a calm and comfortable home environment where pets can relax, play, and receive attention throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries. Safety always comes first, and I keep a close eye on pets while they are in my care. I also understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their furry family member with someone they trust.
“Brittany is the best! My pup Nala is a sweetheart but deals with a lot of reactivity issues and it’s hard to find someone with enough experience, patience, trust, and love to watch her while I’m out of town. Brittany was more than willing and able to work with her and give her a chance. Brittany was AMAZING with her. I didn’t worry once about Nala while I was out of the country. She walked her multiple times per day, played with her, made sure she was always safe, and gave her so much love. She already has crates for large dogs at her home, which made everything so much easier. She gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos every single day. She followed all of the instructions I left and took her job very seriously. Nala loved her so much and I could tell she felt right at home. Thank you so much Brittany!”
“I loved all of the photos and updates Yvonne sent throughout my dog’s stay with her. It is apparent she loves the dogs she cares for as her own! He was so happy with her and all of her pups.”
