“Nadege is a fantastic boarder who took such great care of my old boy. My dog can be a bit shy/standoffish but from the moment he arrived he immediately fell in love with Nadege and really enjoyed his time. When I picked him up he almost didn't want to leave! For all of my future dog boarding needs I will definitely use Nadege!”
“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Thank you Ashton and Jay for taking such good care of Rex. We loved getting updates and photos. It felt like Rex was truly cared for as if he were Ashton and Jay’s own dog. Thanks again!”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Amorn and Adam are great with our dog Leo. Leo seems to be right at home with them, and we really appreciate all the adorable photos they send! We are very grateful to have found people we can our trust with our dog and look forward to his next visit!”
“Jolie was very easy to communicate with, she would update me with photos and videos of our puppy during our trip. I loved that she even had a doggie pool outside! I knew instantly our puppy had such a good time when I went to pick him up and did not wanna come home. We definitely made the right choice thanks Jolie!”
“Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.”
“Monica was a fantastic pet sitter. She took excellent care of my baby - took her on multiple walks a day, let her sleep in her bed, brushed her and gave her treats. She was a great communicator, too - updates every few hours with tons of pictures. Her apartment looked very tidy and comfortable in the photos and Teddy was happy. I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up timing. I would highly recommend Monica and would definitely use her again!”
“Christopher was great with Teddy. They got acquainted quickly. Teddy got plenty of exercise and I appreciated how Christopher spent lots of 1 on 1 time with him, even sharing photos and along with text updates. I would certainly recommend booking with him.”
“Patricia was great!! She was very kind and professional. I could tell she enjoyed caring for my little Zoey and gave her the attention and love she needed to feel safe in a new environment. I got lots of pics, which I appreciated. I will definitively be a returning customer. Thanks, Patricia!!”
“Ryan & Abbey were great. Lula had plenty of pups to play and nap with and had a great time. We got pics and videos every day and they are so nice. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Stephen was absolutely fantastic in watching sky for us for almost a week ! They were boarding her for the first time so we were very anxious , but the constant communication from Stephen while we were way put us at ease. She was happy, well looked after and safe ! We will be repeat clients with Stephen for sure !”
“Selah did a great job watching Tofu for us! She checked in and sent pictures each morning, and was accessible via text throughout our time away from our furry love. She's comfortable with big dogs (Tofu's pretty strong,) which gave me a lot of comfort.. we'll definitely call her again for our next trip!”
“Chan and his wife were the best!! They were super kind and sweet from beginning to end! They sent plenty of photos and updates during my dog’s stay with them which was much appreciated! Their updates put me at ease and I knew that my dog was in good hands. They were extremely accommodating to my schedule. Thank you so much!! I recommend them 100%!!”
“Melissa and Christopher were beyond amazing!! They watched my two very elderly, senior dogs that required various medications and special care. They sent several photos and videos daily and my dogs always appeared to look calm, comfortable, and having fun in the updates I received. Communication was very easy. and their attention to detail with my special instructions was exceptional. Melissa and Christopher are super kind and sincerely cared about my dogs’ well- being during their stay. It truly was a 5 star experience! =)”
“Hayley and Arthur are incredible. I am incredibly precious when it comes to who I’d leave my dogs with. Our first stay with them, they were quick and easy to coordinate with. Now, after a much longer extended second stay, I continue to feel confident leaving my babies with them! They seem to really care for animals and understand that they are more than just pets to us - treating them with care and thoughtfulness. Pains me to share how much I love them (because I want them available for me always) but they warrant the good review!”
“Armando did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs. He was very responsive from the beginning and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs and makes them feel comfortable. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. We would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I grew up with cats, have always had one until I lost my last baby a few years ago. My last roommate had a cat and now that I live alone, I really crave that connection! (Or lack thereof if you know cats, haha but either way they’re always entertaining) Cats have unique personalities and in my opinion are more like children than dogs in that you really have to tailor your approach to the individual.
“Patty was awesome!!!! So attentive to my babies and sent a ton of photos as well! Very communicative and sweet, on time and reliable. My kitties loved her. I came home to a very clean house. I would absolutely 1000% book her services again! Thank you Patty!!!!”
About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
“Emma was great with my cat Acorn this past week. She sent picture/video updates and I could tell she made Acorn feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Here’s an updated version that includes your experience with other animals: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always lived with two cats and one dog, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my everyday life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Besides cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for many other animals over the years, including bunnies, hamsters, chickens, and other small pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I’ve regularly provided cat sitting for a family, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and making sure the cats stayed happy while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to adapt to their individual needs and provide them with loving, reliable care. Schedule For the next three weeks, I’m especially flexible since I’m currently off work, so I’m available most days and times. After that, I’m generally available during the daytime from the morning until around 3:00 PM, and again in the evenings from around 7:00 PM onward. At this time, I’m not available for overnight pet sitting. Safety & Environment At this time, I don’t offer pet care in my own home. Instead, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most safe and relaxed. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to make sure they receive the best possible care.
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
“This is the first time I used Rover for my 2 cats, and I'm very happy that I found Erika to take care of those 2 wild things when we visit Japan for 2 1/2 weeks. She came by prior to our trip, we went over things and she was taking notes to make sure things are written down. Me being a total type A, I also made a to-do list. We have cameras throughout the house, and we are very glad to see the cats and Erika hanging out and playing while we were out. Will love to have Erika come back and care for our two fur-babies and I would recommend her to people as well :)”
“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”

“We feel so lucky we found such kind wonderful people!! Our pups immediately fell in love with them, even our shy girl. Prerana and Aubrey go above and beyond with our kiddos, we’re so grateful knowing they’re being well loved and taken care of every time!”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“Oscar loves her weekly daycare with Renata and her dogs. Oscar comes home happy and tired out. Renata responds quickly when I message her. Oscar has spent the night with her as well, and she was well taken care of.”

I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all sorts of creatures, and I learned to love and care for them from a very young age. My home was always a haven for animals in need, and that experience taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and unconditional love. That passion led me to become a professional pet caregiver. For years, I've had the privilege of caring for countless animals, each with their own unique personality and needs. From playful puppies to senior pets requiring special care, I enjoy every moment I spend with them. My daughter is a veterinarian, so animals have always been part of our lives. Together, we've created a home full of love and respect for all creatures. She has taught me a lot about animal health and well-being, and that experience has been invaluable in my work as a caregiver. I take pride in offering a personalized and attentive pet care service. I understand that each animal is unique, and I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for each one. Whether they need long walks, playtime in the park, or just a warm lap to snuggle in, I'm here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. My approach is very home-like. Instead of a traditional kennel, I offer a family environment where your pet will feel right at home. I'm dedicated to providing them with affection, individualized attention, and all the care they need to feel safe and happy. My services are completely personalized, tailored to the specific needs of each pet. Therefore, my prices may be a bit higher, but I assure you that your furry friend will receive exceptional care and all the attention they deserve. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who will treat your furry friend like one of the family, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be delighted to meet you and your pet!" I'm a pet caregiver who's dedicated to organizing my time to provide the best care. Contact me and schedule your appointment!! I will be very happy !! "As a pet caregiver, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home, whether it's at my place or theirs. I'll give them lots of love, play with them so they get exercise, and feed them on time. If they need any special care, like medication or anything similar, no problem! I make sure your pet is happy and healthy, so you can have peace of mind."
“10 out of 10 stars for Chan Woo and his wife! During their time with Ellie, she suffered an unexpected injury (through nobody’s fault) and had to go to the vet for immediate care. They sprang into action and communicated with me immediately, keeping me posted on the emergency clinic where they were taking her (the accident happened very early in the morning). I met them at the clinic and decided to have Ellie treated at her usual vet. Jibin generously offered to ride in the back with Ellie, keeping her calm and comfortable. Throughout the rest of the day, Chan Woo and Jibin checked in to ask how Ellie was doing. I was touched by their genuine, heartfelt concern. Chan Woo and his wife did an exceptional job, in a difficult situation, caring for Ellie. I trust them completely to care for my pup! You cannot find more reliable, caring, and professional sitters. Big hugs and gratitude to you both!! ☺️🐶💖”
“So glad I found Brooke! My dog has a big separation anxiety but she came back happy. She sent me photos and let me know how she was doing while I was away. I feel my pup loved her and I’ll def leave my pup again when I need to!”
“Tinkerbell had a blast with Ryan and abbey! They treat her as if she was their own and are very sweet with her. I’ll definitely be bringing tinkerbell here again. 10/10 recommend Ryan and abbey!! They’re amazing”
“Sending our dog to daycare with Tanya weekly was the best decision ever. I dog loved going to the park with her, socializing with other dogs, and playing in her yard. Tanya is so helpful if you have questions about training or anything in general. Our dog was having a hard time adjusting to the baby we had and this daycare day was her moment of joy every week and allowed her to have something special in the mix of change. Tanya, you really are the best!!”
About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of care and affection. I work Monday through Friday and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day and evening to provide loving and reliable pet care. I provide pets with plenty of attention, care, and companionship while following their regular routine. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise and playtime, and feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“We needed day care for a couple of days during a trip from the Bay Area to Southern California, and I’m so happy I found Amorn and Adam to look after our senior toy poodle, Jubilee. During her stay, they sent lots of photos on her progress and interactions with other dogs, helping to give me peace of mind that all was fine. They demonstrated such kindness and understanding towards our little one, who shakes nervously in unfamiliar environments. They adapted to her shy-ish ways, let her be and gave her a comfy blanket on which to sit or lie. As quickly as the second day when handing her to Adam, Jubilee didn’t even shake, she was actually quite calm, and that was amazing. I am 110% pleased with their services. Thank you so much Amorn and Adam!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 25 years. I use to be a zookeeper for 8 years and have worked with exotic animals for over 10. I have basic training skills and am good with large dogs. I am currently working part time and have most days free and evenings as well. Local neighborhood walks or pick ups would be ideal, but not necessary. I currently do not have any other pets. I do have a fenced in back yard and live in a house. Bathroom breaks can happen frequently when boarding.
“Michelle has such a welcoming personality. Her family made me feel at ease with leaving YoYo. I didn’t have any concerns. She sent pictures & videos throughout the day. YoYo had a great time. Also, she was very accommodating with my late pick up time. I’ll definitely use her services again. Super thanks 😊”
“My skittish dog with separation anxiety had a great day at Jacqueline's place! Jacqueline knew exactly how to make her comfortable and she did not leave her alone. Drop off and pickup times were flexible, which allowed me to spend a full day at Universal. Overall, everything was perfect!!”
About: Hey there! I’m Leila, AKA your pet's new bestie (or as I like to say, “The Auntie They Deserve”). I’ve been knee-deep in pet chaos since I was 4 years old—dogs, cats, fish, you name it. My two dogs and two cats live with my family, but I like to think of myself as their fun, slightly over-the-top aunt who spoils them rotten (but don’t worry, I promise to respect your pet parenting rules!). Whether you’ve got a couch potato or a four-legged marathoner, I’m here to give your pets the time of their lives. I’ve been caring for all kinds of furballs for years, so you can rest assured I’ll treat your babies like they’re my own (cue the belly rubs and the personalized playtime). And hey, I love snapping cute pics of your pets—so expect your phone to blow up with ridiculously adorable photos that’ll make you think I’m secretly running a pet influencer account. I’m that person who loves dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From the tiniest kitten to the biggest burliest dog (yes, I’ll even wrestle a Rottweiler into a snuggle), I’m ready for it all. I’m great at reading their moods—whether they’re in the mood for a walk, a cuddle, or just a moment of pure “I’m too cute for you to resist” eye contact. Oh, and I work from home, so I’ll be around for plenty of playdates, walks, and impromptu “treat bribery” sessions throughout the day. I’m always down for a 2-3 hour walk (yep, my Golden Retriever/Husky mix, Bowie, and my Siberian Husky, Malibu, keep me busy!) and have endless energy to keep up with your pups. A little about my pack: Bowie has the most dramatic eyes (one brown, one blue, because he’s clearly a supermodel), and Malibu is a beach-loving queen who thinks every puddle is a potential vacation spot. If you want them to give your dog some Husky-approved playtime, we’ve got plenty of room for adventures! Walks & Drop-ins – 7 Days a Week, All Day Long! Need a mid-day stroll or a play session for your pup? We’re available for walks and drop-ins any day of the week. I’ll pop by for a walk, a game of fetch, and some quality one-on-one time with your pet. Drop-ins can be 30 or 60 minutes long—perfect for a snack, potty break, or just a little company while you're out. House Sitting & Drop-In Services: Drop-ins: 30–60 minute visits where I’ll walk, feed, and play with your pup or kitty. Perfect for those days when you need someone to check in while you’re away! House Sitting: I’ll spend the night with your pet, providing a 15-20 minute evening walk, a morning potty break, and an afternoon walk or potty break. (More walks? Just ask, and I’ll add them to the service). If you prefer me not to stay the night, or if accommodations aren’t available, let me know. House sitting doesn’t include 24/7 care, but I’ll always ensure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. Boarding – 7 Days a Week Going away? Let your pet stay with us! I can accommodate up to 5 dogs for boarding, and they’re treated like absolute VIPs (Very Important Paws). Whether your pet prefers lounging in the bed with me, chilling on the couch, or hanging out in the kitchen, they’ll be right at home in our spacious, storybook cottage with secure, fully fenced yards for outdoor fun. No pet is left behind here—they get all the love and playtime they need. Doggie Daycare – 7 Days a Week, 8 AM–8 PM Drop off your dog for a day of fun and games! Daycare is available every day from 8 AM to 8 PM, with early drop-off or late pick-up available for an additional $30 “early bird” or “late owl” fee. Need a ride? We also offer pet chauffeur services for $20 per round trip!

Whether it's snuggling on the couch, taking walks around the block, or playing outside until their little hearts are content, we’ve got it covered. We also keep your pets’ minds sharp with fun puzzles and toys, so they never get bored (and neither will you when you get all those adorable photos I’ll send you!).

Oh, and if your pets are morning or night owls, we’ve got you covered, but please note that services outside the usual 8am–8pm window do have a small fee of $30 for early birds or late owls who just can’t wait for their next adventure. So, whether you’re out of town, at work, or just need a little extra help, we’re here to pamper your pets like they’ve never been pampered before. And don’t worry—when you choose Paws Paradise LA, you’re not just getting a service, you’re getting a full-on vacation for your pets! Ready for a pawsome time?

Double the love, double the fun—your pets will leave with wagging tails and happy hearts! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, as I work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pets constant attention, whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles. I also have another fantastic assistant who help me out whenever needed, so your pets will always have someone around to keep them happy and engaged! With this setup, I can ensure your pets get all the care and companionship they deserve while keeping things running smoothly every day. When caring for pets at my clients’ homes, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I work from home, which allows me to be present and fully attentive to their needs throughout the day. I’m very observant and always ensure that pets are safe and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and I’m careful to check that there is no food left out, trash, or anything else they could potentially get into that isn’t a toy. If your pet is used to a crate, I’m happy to use it as part of their routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable when you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own and am committed to providing a safe, clean, and enriching environment for them.
“My dog is very nervous and anxious around new people/environments and they were very confident and knew how to handle it when they met him which relaxed my dog and ultimately meh was able to stay and be very comfortable! Very happy with my pup’s stay!”
“I needed a sitter at last minute… so glad I found Edison. They sent me pics and kept good communication… getting home Pumba was exhausted. He felt to sleep immediately.”

“In the past three weeks or so, Mry has been walking my dog every morning. Since my chocolate lab cannot write the review ( she can do most everything else..) let me just describe my dog’s reaction to Mry: excited anticipation prior to her arrival and a happy “smile” on her face upon returning from her walk! As for me, I cannot say enough about Mry’s Professional and pleasant attitude. She is punctual, tailors the walks to my dog’s ability and daily wants. The daily reports I get from Mry are not the mundane ones but a true and detailed description of my dog’s activities (sniffing, slow or energetic, tired etc.). In short, I recommend Mry in the highest possible terms!”

Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
About: Here’s an updated version that includes your experience with other animals: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always lived with two cats and one dog, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my everyday life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Besides cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for many other animals over the years, including bunnies, hamsters, chickens, and other small pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I’ve regularly provided cat sitting for a family, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and making sure the cats stayed happy while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to adapt to their individual needs and provide them with loving, reliable care. Schedule For the next three weeks, I’m especially flexible since I’m currently off work, so I’m available most days and times. After that, I’m generally available during the daytime from the morning until around 3:00 PM, and again in the evenings from around 7:00 PM onward. At this time, I’m not available for overnight pet sitting. Safety & Environment At this time, I don’t offer pet care in my own home. Instead, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most safe and relaxed. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to make sure they receive the best possible care.
About: As a passionate and reliable pet sitter, I absolutely love caring for animals of all kinds, with a special soft spot for senior pets and playful kittens. I make sure to follow your care instructions and create a personalized routine to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable while you’re away. Having rescued many pets over the years, I understand how important your pet’s well-being is. That's why I started pet sitting — to help busy pet owners like you while providing the same love and care I give my very own pets. My fur babies and I enjoy daily walks, lots of playtime, and outings around Lake Balboa where Iv'e called home for over 20 years! Plus, I’ve taken courses in Dog CPR and First Aid to ensure your pet is in safe hands. Let’s set up a meet and greet soon — I can’t wait to get to know you and your beloved pet! I’m excited to be your pet sitter! Working from home allows me the flexibility to give your furry friends all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize sticking to your pets' routines so they can relax, have fun, and feel completely at home with me. I can’t wait to meet your adorable fur babies! I want you to know that I'm fully committed to following your instructions during my stay. Ensuring the safety and health of your pets is my top priority. You can be confident that I will take exceptional care of both your pets and your home while you’re away.
“Kyle is the best! He is great with my pup and she loves going in walks with him. He is always on time and has been able to be flexible with last minute changes.”

About: As dog owners ourselves, we believe in a simple principle: we won't do anything for your dog that we wouldn't do for our own. During the time they're with us, we treat them as if they were our own, with full attention and care. What makes our care different is that your dog gets the attention of two people, not one! Both my spouse and I work from home, so there's always someone around for companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also know LA life can be unpredictable, so having two of us means we're able to stay flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. As a clinical psychologist with a background in behavioral psychology, plus hands-on experience having personally adopted and trained a rescue dog, I understand dogs' needs on a deeper level, from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. Over the years caring for dogs across LA, we've worked with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, including dogs with picky eating, excessive barking, or high energy levels, and tailor our approach to each dog's individual needs. We always welcome a meet & greet before booking! There's a large, quiet park right by our home where we can chat through your dog's routine and make sure everyone feels comfortable. **First time clients please enjoy $20 off your first booking!** https://www.rover.com/sit/chanwl43421 Schedule Both my spouse and I work from home, so we're available for care any day of the week! Weekdays and weekends alike. This also gives us a lot of flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need a quick daycare visit or long-term boarding, we'd love to help. Safety, trust & environment In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, and with two of us around, dogs are never left unattended! You'll get regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands. I follow your dog's routine closely and keep safety top of mind, whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets (We have three playpens! on hand, so we can easily section off space when needed). Our back patio is fully fenced, so dogs can enjoy off-leash time to run and play safely. We've made sure there's nothing sharp or hazardous back there, and we clean up after every potty break and hose down the area to keep it fresh and sanitary. Neighborhood dogs stop by for potty breaks too, so it's also a great spot for your pup to socialize. Being a typical Asian household, we don't wear shoes inside and that same care extends to keeping things clean for your pup! We vacuum 3-4 times a day, wash food and water bowls after every use, and wipe down paws with baby wipes (dog-wipes on request!) after walks.
“I know dogs can’t speak, but Brooke is so kind and loving with her. She spent the last 10 minutes of her time with Dottie on the floor loving her, when she so didn’t need to. Absolutely love Brooke.”
“Bryanna has been great with our dog Buster and takes lots of pictures and even videos during her visits. She is good at communicating and responds to messages quickly. She's dependable and shows up when she says she will and we are really happy to have found her. She brings her dog to play with Buster and it's been a great arrangement for Buster to have a friend and more socialization. She was willing to just come herself to take Buster on his walk if they didn't get along. We hope Bryanna continues to be available to visit Buster.”
About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of care and affection. I work Monday through Friday and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day and evening to provide loving and reliable pet care. I provide pets with plenty of attention, care, and companionship while following their regular routine. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise and playtime, and feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: With over eight years of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just “watch” animals — I build real bonds with them. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, with patience, protection, and affection at the center of everything I do. Their happiness, trust, and tail wags are truly the greatest reward. I am a freelance professional makeup artist working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends and felines! When I care for your pets in your home, I treat the entire space with the same respect and attention I give your animals. I follow their routines closely, provide loving companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.
About: Ever since I was was about 13, I've always been the person to call if someone was going out of down and they needed someone to watch their dogs. I've been able to properly care for 7 dogs at most at a time. I love dogs and will do my very best to make sure they are well taken care of. I love being outside, so I am more than willing to go outside with your dog whenever they need or want to. Making sure your dog gets as much love (if not more than) as you give them is a big priority for me. I've taken care of breeds from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. You can trust in me to be the best sitter for your dog.
About: I stand out for my hands on experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including senior dogs who require medication morning and night, cats who need medication, and dogs with anxiety who benefit from a calm, patient approach. I’m experienced with overnight care, vet visits, walks, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates so pet owners always feel confident and at ease. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and safety at all times, and I’m experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety or special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home.
“Our first time using this app since we needed a last minute pup walker. I found Nancy and she responded within the hour. She took our fur baby for a 30 min walk, sent us plenty of pictures, and updates. She was def really nice and attentive to our requests. We’ll definitely keep her as our puppy’s friendly walker when we are unable to walk him. Thank you for everything Nancy! Frankie also appreciates you!”
“Look no further for the best dog walker! My senior dog Toby absolutely adores her walks with Luba. I've seen a real difference in Toby’s happiness and energy levels since they started. She is very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing Toby is in such capable and caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages. I currently have a senior dog, so I’m familiar with the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets often need. Since I was 16, I’ve provided pet sitting and house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering routines, and ensuring pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand the importance of keeping owners updated so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. Currently I have open availability. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and providing companionship, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. My top priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as directed, stay aware of my surroundings, and prioritize each pet’s safety at all times. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust and ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owner is away.

“Renata and her family were incredible hosts for our 5 year old pug Anu. They were welcoming, provided lots of updates, and truly treated him like a part of the family. Renata shared a lot of photos throughout the long weekend that they watched Anu and I've never seen him happy and settled in so quickly at a new person's house. We felt super lucky to have Anu in the care of someone so nurturing and will definitely be back in touch with Renata the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Thank you Ashton and Jay for taking such good care of Rex. We loved getting updates and photos. It felt like Rex was truly cared for as if he were Ashton and Jay’s own dog. Thanks again!”
“She was very responsive and flexible around my pick up and drop off times. Provided photos and videos of their walks every day and Chase looked happy in each one! Chase is a 100 pound German Shepherd and she handled him very well. Very thankful I was able to find her relatively last minute for my stay and have everything work out!”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Christopher was great with Teddy. They got acquainted quickly. Teddy got plenty of exercise and I appreciated how Christopher spent lots of 1 on 1 time with him, even sharing photos and along with text updates. I would certainly recommend booking with him.”
“Stephen was absolutely fantastic in watching sky for us for almost a week ! They were boarding her for the first time so we were very anxious , but the constant communication from Stephen while we were way put us at ease. She was happy, well looked after and safe ! We will be repeat clients with Stephen for sure !”
“Selah did a great job watching Tofu for us! She checked in and sent pictures each morning, and was accessible via text throughout our time away from our furry love. She's comfortable with big dogs (Tofu's pretty strong,) which gave me a lot of comfort.. we'll definitely call her again for our next trip!”
“Armando did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs. He was very responsive from the beginning and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs and makes them feel comfortable. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. We would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Best boarding experience my pup has ever had! He’s not exactly the easiest boy to handle given how energetic he is, but after our initial meet and greet with Ashlee I had 0 concerns. She told me about the dog rescue organization she created so she definitely will give your pup the care and attention they need. She also took my dog on pack walks and long hikes around Runyon Canyon! She has so much space on her fenced off property and the sweetest dogs of her own that all played well with my pup and helped keep him busy! I genuinely believe he had a better time than I did while I was away. He came home cuddly and so tired so I know he had a blast! Would recommend her to all of my friends and everyone else reading this”
“Ori was sooo sweet!! Meeko is a high energy dog and he was so happy and tired (which never happens!) when I picked him up. Im so excited I found her, will definitely be booking her again.”
“Darren & Nicole were fantastic! My dog did so well there and they did a wonderful job keeping me up to date with how he was. He also immediately took to Darren and apparently followed him around the house all the time. I’m so happy they also had their own dog at home for my dog to get to play with. Definitely going back!”
“I left Cocoa with Candy while I was out of town for the weekend. I now feel more free to take trips knowing that she can watch her. She even helped treat a developing hotspot that appeared at last minute and when I picked Cocoa up she was doing much better. ”
“Adrianna helped me out during a last minute need for boarding services. She also accommodated my same day meet & greet request. My initial boarders turned out to be Pinocchio’s aka liars. It has been very stressful trying to find a sitter -that I trust- on this Rover app. She definitely put me at ease & gave me some helpful food tips too. When I came to pick up my puppy she went to Adrianna first. That was a telling sign to me. Clearly, Adrianna created a safe environment. And she was kind to my puppy. I would use her services again!! Thank you & blessings. 💜”
About: One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated. I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner. I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
“My senior dog was really well taken care of by Alexis and Melisa. I loved that they sent me photos several times a day and kept us updated with meals and daily activities.”
“Nicole has been great with our little boy! She seems to be so calming for him and eased our minds as well with frequent pictures and updates. It was so hard to leave him but Nicole showed us that she genuinely cares for Javi.”
“Tanya is incredibly amazing and loves dogs. She has a great back yard for dogs plus a species room for them to rest full of toys and beds. She kept me posted with pictures. Tut was happy staying at her place.”
