“David was super accommodating for my pet Joji! He sent many updates and photos, even when I was out busy so I appreciate his communication and care for my pet. Super responsive and reliable. Will definitely reach out again for future dog sitting.”
“Irina is awesome! She boarded my 2 cats for 3 nights and they were in such excellent hands. Irina was great at asking for how to make them feel the most comfortable away from home and provided regular updates and pics on how they were doing. I will be booking with her again for kitty care!”
“I needed to board my German Shepherd mix Layla for the first time, and we were both very lucky to find Rubin! He always responded right away, which made me feel comfortable, and I could tell from the photos that Layla was having a great time at Rubin's place. I'd definitely recommend Rubin to anyone looking for a responsible, caring person to board their pet - I will certainly reach out to him again if Layla needs to go on another vacation!”
“My dog is my world so it can be hard to leave him with a sitter when I travel. But Sabrina and her husband made it so much easier bc I know my dog is in such great hands. I slept easy knowing that he wasn’t only safe but he was having fun in a house full of love and walks!”
“Zac is fantastic! My dogs immediately latched on to him and from the photos he sent everyday, they seemed to be having quite the vacation. From lounging under the sun to playing with his cute little pup, I'd definitely send my two pups back to him for another vacation. Thank you so much for being so attentive and sweet to my two girls. Wish I could give 10 stars :)”
“Qiwen was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Qiwen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Catherine was great to work with a we won’t hesitate to book with her in the future. She was kind, communicative, and accommodating. She allowed us to do a trial day/night before our long booking of ~9 days to be sure our pups and her home were a good fit. I felt so comfortable and relaxed on vacay because I fully trusted Catherine with my dog. She sent frequent updates and photos but never too much that it was overwhelming. I think we finally found a reliable sitter!”
“Arlo just finished his third stay and he loved it! Hector & Brandon continue to be sweet, true dog loving sitters. They are communicative and hyper vigilant as they take care of your pet, ranging from traveling with Arlo in a car seat, to notifying me of any new itches and scratches and more. He will certainly be back!”
“When our dog is under Paul's care, she gets to have positive exposure to new people and dogs. It's a big deal for our family considering she's a pitbull mix coming from a shelter... Thankful to see our dog being welcomed and loved by Paul and his friends!”
“This was the second booking with Jessica and she took great care of my Sunny girl yet again. Location is safe and central. She was very responsive and accommodating to my requests and Sunny’s needs; would definitely recommend and book again”
“Deanna was phenomenal! She helped me when I was in a pickle and needed a dog sitter on very short notice. Not only was she willing, she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and communicated regularly with updates throughout my dog’s stay. I picked up a very happy pup who’s acting like his usual self. I can’t thank Deanna enough!”
“Albina took great care of my boy. She made sure he went on multiple walks a day and sent me updates. He came home very happy. Will definitely take Kobe to her again😊”
“Stephanie was such an attentive and caring pet sitter to our 12 year old terrier. She was diligent with his special food plan and medicines and made us feel secure in having our dear dog out of sight for 5 days. Charmander had a great time staying over and will be back again for a slumber party soon!”
“Cathy and her family boarded our dogs for over two weeks. They were amazing. Super easy pick up and drop off. They sent pictures of our two dogs the entire time we were gone and they looked so happy, going on walks, spending time outside and getting pets. Thank you! I would absolutely use Cathy again and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Bridgit is the best and took such great care of our sweet baby boy, Tino! She followed all our asks and special requests for Tino’s routine, walks, and feeding over a week of watching him while we were out of town. Tino came back to us happy and thriving. I would highly recommend Bridgit for any of your dog sitting and care needs!”
“The way our dog cannot wait to get out of the car once we pull up to Selien’s home tells me everything about how much he loves spending time with her. Cannot recommend her highly enough”
“This was Mikey’s second stay with Chun. As soon as I dropped him off, he immediately recognized her and was so excited to see her again. As usual, she took great care of him and sent me lots of photos and videos everyday. Since Mikey has some separation anxiety it was great that Chun works from home and was able to stay home with him all day.”
“Magdalena took care of my dog Marty overnight. She sent many updates with photos/videos. Marty had a very eventful and active stay. He was very happy and Magdalena took great care of him. She also agreed very last minute when I had to leave town, which was hugely appreciated. I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Margaret kindly took care of my two 11-yr-old dogs while we were away on a long vacation. And they had a great time! Margaret is a true dog lover and was great about getting them out for daily walks and sending us regular photos and updates! I didn’t worry a moment about my girls, knowing they were in Margaret’s good hands. Very fun place to board a social dog, since there will often be other dogs around too.”

“Sabrina took care of my cat Mandy while I was away, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Mandy can be a bit shy, but Sabrina made her feel comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was Sabrina’s communication, she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Mandy was in good hands the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave. I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Minay is the best! She’s super reliable and communicative and great with my cat (who can be particular), taking good care of her and making her feel at ease. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a 12-year-old westie who's been my best friend since I got him as a puppy. I've been through every stage of dog-caring, and will love your small pup like they're my own. I'm currently laid off and job-searching, so I have plenty of time to keep your pet company or stop by for walks or potty breaks. I live in a nice apartment complex downtown that's very dog-friendly. Plenty of spots for peeing, sniffing, and walking, and my place is cozy and spacious with big windows for patrolling.
“Brendon was great with our puppy. The updates had cute pictures and always included a nice note about his visit. He was always on time and was a wonderful with our dog.”
“Jessica was wonderful with Rowan 🤍 Communicative, reliable, and very sweet with him. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“I really appreciate the care and consistency he shows with my dog. Taking her out every day makes such a difference, and I can tell my dog is happier and more relaxed because of it. They’re reliable, attentive, and clearly love what they do. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.”
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.
“Christopher impressed me by following instructions perfectly. He checked on my two cats and had no issues getting in, which was a relief to not worry about looking at my phone. Would definitely hire again!”
“I know dogs are Ariane’s specialty, but luckily she also loves cats. Ariane is so wonderful with our two demanding cats, we won’t go anywhere if she isn’t available. She follows instructions, gives feedback (and lots of photos) and keeps us connected with our kits while we enjoy our vacation. I wish all of the people we hire were this fantastic.”
About: I take care of your pet like they’re my own! Animals are the most important thing in my life. I'd do anything for my dog, but truthfully, I'd do anything for any dog! I’m caring, considerate, and clean. After about 7 years of professionally dog and cat sitting, I got my own Quarantine Dog. I will take care of your pets with love and mindfulness- following any requests you may have! Walks, runs and playtime. Snuggles, cuddles and comfort. Need medicine administrated? I'm good at that, too! Have issues with reactivity or food guarding? Just an anxious dog overall? Trust me, I'm very familiar. No judgement here! Although I'm not a trainer, I've dealt with these issues with my own dog, as well as others. I know how to handle these needs with care, for the comfort and safety for everyone in involved. Is your baby just a little quirky, maybe? If you need their paws wiped down after every walk, imaginary food sprinkled in their bowl to eat, or needs classical music to fall asleep? I can definitely handle that! I would love to be your best friends caretaker. My schedule is very flexible. I like to dedicate as much time as possible to my pet clients, and typically try to keep one client at a time for maximum attention. I do not provide home boarding, but I am happy to take care of your pup in your own home. I keep a very clean space and respect house rules easily. Taking care of the dog in your home is important so they feel at home.
“Maegan did a great job taking care of Marble while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and sent us great photos and videos assuring us our kitty was in good hands. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: Hey, I'm Nicky. Growing up as a farm kid, I've cared for all animals, especially various dog breeds big and small my entire life. Wife and I, live in Silver Lake as the proud pup parents of 2 adorable poodles. I work from home and my schedule is open and flexible, so your pet is my number one priority during their 5 star stay at Dog's Best Friend. We've been boarding happy dogs with Rover since 2022 and 10 years before that we boarded, dropped-in and walked doggie clients all around the TMZ. Available 24/7, for essential meet and greets with your doggie. Available 24/7, for doggie drop-offs and pick-ups. Our spacious backyard allows us to be very active daily and big enough to welcome all our doggie guests, any size, any energy level, I love them all. When we all snuggle up to chill after an active doggie day, your fur babies will have plenty of their own space, their own room when they want it and multiple comfortable sleep options, including their own dog bed or our snuggly couch all night if they like. Nothing brings me more joy than caring for all our loving furry friends. I live for their love and as Timothy Treadwell said, "I will die for these bears." In my care, they get everything they need, nothing they can't have and all the love they can handle with my undivided attention day and night. I'm always available to give your fur babies the best care they can get and love them like my own, so fear not, Dog's Best Friend is your baby’s home away from home! I am usually booked with loyal distinguished clients daily, so when your dog books a stay with us, they will be kept totally separate from the pack until they've all calmed down enough to meet. That way we can be absolutely sure there will be no issues between them. Even as they meet and greet, they will be separated by our tall interior doggie gate and introduced slowly and methodically. We've never had an issue with pet aggression between our doggies and clients and this process ensures stranger dogs become friends because we always set them up to win! You can trust your pet is safe here and always welcomed by our pack! Beware, your pup may not want to leave Dog's Best Friend! "Nickolas was the best Rover I have ever booked!!! I just know my dog was so well taken care of and loved as if she was his own dog. She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up. Nickolas was constantly playing ball with her, giving her tummy rubs, and taking her running. He sent me so many pictures and videos so I always knew what Poppy was up to. I will absolutely be booking with Nickolas again." -Maya H. I’m a 24/7 caregiver, best friend, provider, poodle whisperer and round-up specialist to our super chill senior Poodle Kai and our young rambunctious Maltipoo Rocco. From this veteran dog lover, your furry besties will absolutely get a healthy abundance of compassionate, unconditional love. It's as simple as that. As a work from home musician and entertainment business owner, my independent schedule gives me the flexibility to care for all of our furry baby boys and girls around the clock. Our spacious fenced backyard is where we get all the pups running around safely with balls toys and treats of course. In the summer heat we'll fill the shallow doggie pool to cool down. Silver Lake Reservoir Park is close by, so the size and energy of your dog will determine the workout we can do. As an active long distance track and cross country runner through college and since, I can match any dog’s activity level. I depend on you to tell me what you’d like your dog to experience during their active luxurious stay. They'll get what they need but I'll never over work them. We have enough room and plenty of toys to play inside or out and plenty of doggie space and couch seating for that ever important doggie rest, which they'll get plenty of too!

“Em + Taylor were great with my two young Chihuahua/Terrier pups. Great communication and they sent great, cute pics. We will be return customers for sure :).”
“Zac was so accommodating and was able to take our dog last minute. Capo had the best time playing and jumping in the pond and Zac was a trooper with all of his puppy energy.”
About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.
“Irena was very quick to respond to my check ups throughout the day when she had Oslo. She made me feel at ease informing me how he was doing while he was with her. I’d definitely book her again.”
“Taryn was so great! She helped me out with a last minute daycare request and she took great care of my sweet pup. They had a cozy chill day which is exactly my dog’s speed and made her feel right at home while I was away :) thank you!”
“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”
“Abhi was very communicative and flexible! It was a short dog-sit but he has a warm energy and provided lots of photos where Georgia was having a nice time :) would def book again”
“Attended a multi day meeting at the LA Convention Center and wanted to bring my dog to spend time with in the evening. Found Jae and she was right down the way from LA Convention Center & Crypto Arena. I dropped off Wesley Archer each morning for day care with Jae and she was amazing! Took really great care of him, sending timely pics through the day and has the perfect outdoor play area and safe walking space for your pup! I couldn’t have been happier with her services and was so grateful to have found and selected her for my visit. Great to know she is there should I come up from OC for another event. Thanks Jae and Wesley Archer says hello!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely love caring for animals. I’m attentive, responsible, and understand how important routine and schedules are when caring for pets. I also have a very friendly, playful labradoodle who loves making new friends and would be excited to have some company during stays and playtime. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My flexible work schedule setup also allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship during their stay I do my best to maintain their usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. In my home, pets have plenty of supervised playtime, regular walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of attention throughout the day
“Eames is exhausted after a very fun day with Teresa and her family. Thank you for all of the updates and for taking such good care of him. We hope to see you guys soon!”
“Seungyeon took great care of CoCo! She was able to take him on short notice, easy to coordinate with and super communicative with photos and updates throughout the day. And she was so thoughtful and gave CoCo a to-go care gift. It was clear CoCo has a great day with her and her beagle!”
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.
“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!”
“Eilythia was so great with my puppy Arthur! She totally saved us last minute when we needed a sitter and was super flexible to accommodate him! We’re so appreciative and would definitely recommend!”
“This is the second time we use her for our dog she is very friendly and always available to help take care of Leo for us to go watch the dodgers game. I recommend her !”
“Paul is kind, flexible, and patient! Our dog is from a local city shelter and it's been challenging for us to socialize her with other people and dogs. Paul made this experience smooth and positive for our family. Thank you!!!”
“Jade’s enthusiasm for the pets she works with is really apparent. A happy smile, and just such a happy approach to my puppy Boo. She was eager to return after her first day. Thanks.”
“Hailee proved to be a fabulous daycare provider for my very timid senior dog. She kept me up-to-date by texting me photos, showing me how relaxed and unstressed Chewy was -- letting me be unstressed and relaxed myself. What a difference between Hailee's care and that of a traditional kennel. I'd heartily give Hailee 10 stars if I could and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to others. Thank you Hailee!”
“Carling’s has become our pups second home. We trust her completely and her care and attention give us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for day care or boarding!”

“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!”
About: I have a 12-year-old westie who's been my best friend since I got him as a puppy. I've been through every stage of dog-caring, and will love your small pup like they're my own.

“Stephanie went above and beyond! She stopped by the night before our appt. for a meet and greet and to get my keys. She was so sweet and really cool to talk with. The next day she showed right up on time and took my pupper for a better walk than I even give him. She sent lots of pics and communication and she even stayed way longer than she had to. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely book again soon. I wish there was some sort of tipping option on the app because she seriously deserves it. Thanks again, mama!”
“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.”
“We've been really happy with Minh as our dog walker. She takes the time to leave detailed notes after every walk, which we genuinely appreciate — it's reassuring to know exactly how our dog's day went. She also incorporates enrichment into her walks rather than just going through the motions, and our dog has clearly bonded with her. On top of that, she's incredibly communicative and thoughtful — she'll always give us a heads up if we're running low on treats or supplies, which is such a small thing but makes a big difference. You can tell she's genuinely paying attention and treating our home and pet with real care. We'd recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of various ages since I was 13 years old. I grew up with cats and dogs (multiple), and I love caring for animals. I also fostered a lab puppy during the pandemic for a couple months. I work in the music business in marketing but my job is fully remote so I'm very flexible. Since I cannot own my own pet right now, looking to do something I love like this on the side. :) I currently work full time but it's all remote work so I'm very flexible and can work on my phone. I cannot have my own pets at this time in my life so this would bring me so much joy. :) I cannot watch pets at my studio apartment, but I am happy to stay / visit other client's homes to watch their animals, take them on walks, and whatever else is needed!
About: I’ve had and cared for pets my whole life, from puppies and kittens into old age. I believe the unconditional love and companionship we receive from animals deserves reciprocation. It brings me so much joy to spend even a fraction of my day with such loving creatures. I also enjoy taking pet photos and sharing with their owners so they can know their loved ones are happy and in good hands! I currently have Thursday’s and Friday’s off from work, so my schedule is pretty open after I drop my kids at school at 8 until I pick them up at 5:30. I could potentially do some weekends as well, depending on timing and frequency. I treat every client’s home and pets as if they were own, with the utmost care and respect. I am reliable and incredibly cautious with locking up and making sure all is in order before I go.
About: ** Dog Walking Information: I offer a premium one-dog-at-a-time walking service, which means your dog receives my FULL attention, care, and supervision throughout the entire walk. I believe dogs are happiest and safest when they're not competing with a group for attention, allowing me to create a more personalized experience and build a genuine connection with each pup. I am also an avid runner and love running around Silverlake Reservoir or Echo Park Lake. If your dog really needs to get energy out, then I am the gal for that. I enjoy taking pups to the Silverlake Dog Park as well, for a nice cool down. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a more energetic walk, I'm happy to tailor each outing to their needs and personality. Would love to hear more information about your pup and help make his/her day more enjoyable with a long nature walk!! xo ------------------------------------------------------- ** Overnight Information: I take pride in offering a professional, personable, and premium boarding service, where I board only ONE dog at a time to ensure undivided attention.

I also come equipped with crates, dog beds, and many dog enrichment toys so even if you can't bring yours, your dog will get the bedding/toy situation he/she needs to feel comfortable and have fun. And as an added security, I place an airtag on your dog's collar for the entire stay for mine and your peace of mind.** What sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile skill set and genuine passion for pets.

Next to my experience on Rover, I also have over 5 years of experience fostering kittens and dogs. I currently work as a freelance writer from a beautiful home in Echo Park. My home is completely fenced in with ample play area for your fur baby to enjoy. I would love to share my home with your puppo for walks, cuddles, sun bathing, snacking, fetch and water fun! When caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I provide ample playtime, regular exercise, and affection to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met, especially when they are away from mom/dad. I am also keen on maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules and medication if needed, to minimize stress. My home includes a sizable backyard with an enclosed fence and I am also within walking distance of two parks. I also love driving to the Silverlake reservoir and Elysian for midday jaunts!
About: I grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience helping raise four litters of puppies, including feeding, socialization, and early training. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs through walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable with all ages and personalities and always focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I currently work at a breakfast restaurant only working 5-6 hours at a time, 5 days a week. 2 days I work 6:15am-12 and 3 days I work 10am-4pm. Giving me plenty of extra time in my day to day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules (if needed), and household rules to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always securely closed, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time to ensure they’re safe at all times. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking up properly, and sending regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“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: As an owner of a big, powerful dog I know it can be difficult finding a walker who can handle their size and avoid unsafe situations. So if you have a large breed friend who requires a strong leader, I’d love to take them for a walk, safely! Freelance film maker with a lot of free time. I’m available during the week and on weekends. I have a dog but would walk your dog(s) separately. I have a large friendly dog named Rudi. I can board your dog as long as they can meet beforehand to make sure they get along. I have a large fenced in back yard as well as a good size, private porch area. We live in echo park with plenty of dog friendly areas and parks.

“Maegan was awesome! She walked my dog Tofu recently and she did an amazing job with sending me awesome pictures of Tofu on his walk and also a quick summary on how the walk went. She was very responsive with any questions I had and was also flexible with scheduling. I would definitely use her services again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Fatima! Animals have been a big part of my life for years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I started by looking after my neighbor’s dog for extended periods, and when I moved, I quickly became the go-to sitter for my neighbors’ dogs. I’ve also been a proud pet parent to five cats, so I understand the routines, quirks, and personalities that make every furry friend unique. I’ve also cared for a sick cat, so I’m comfortable giving extra attention, patience, and love when pets need a little more care. I just graduated and am taking a break from working and school full time by slowly job hunting and doing things I love - like spending time with animals!! I have a very flexible schedule currently! When it comes to daily routines, I’m detail-oriented and consistent. My cats are on strict diets (one wet food, one specialized dry food for allergies), so I understand the importance of proper portions and types of food. Their litter is scooped daily, deep cleaned weekly, food bowls are washed daily, and water bowls scrubbed weekly.

“I needed to board my German Shepherd mix Layla for the first time, and we were both very lucky to find Rubin! He always responded right away, which made me feel comfortable, and I could tell from the photos that Layla was having a great time at Rubin's place. I'd definitely recommend Rubin to anyone looking for a responsible, caring person to board their pet - I will certainly reach out to him again if Layla needs to go on another vacation!”
“Qiwen was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Qiwen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Catherine was great to work with a we won’t hesitate to book with her in the future. She was kind, communicative, and accommodating. She allowed us to do a trial day/night before our long booking of ~9 days to be sure our pups and her home were a good fit. I felt so comfortable and relaxed on vacay because I fully trusted Catherine with my dog. She sent frequent updates and photos but never too much that it was overwhelming. I think we finally found a reliable sitter!”
“This was the second booking with Jessica and she took great care of my Sunny girl yet again. Location is safe and central. She was very responsive and accommodating to my requests and Sunny’s needs; would definitely recommend and book again”
“Deanna was phenomenal! She helped me when I was in a pickle and needed a dog sitter on very short notice. Not only was she willing, she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and communicated regularly with updates throughout my dog’s stay. I picked up a very happy pup who’s acting like his usual self. I can’t thank Deanna enough!”
“Stephanie was such an attentive and caring pet sitter to our 12 year old terrier. She was diligent with his special food plan and medicines and made us feel secure in having our dear dog out of sight for 5 days. Charmander had a great time staying over and will be back again for a slumber party soon!”
“Cathy and her family boarded our dogs for over two weeks. They were amazing. Super easy pick up and drop off. They sent pictures of our two dogs the entire time we were gone and they looked so happy, going on walks, spending time outside and getting pets. Thank you! I would absolutely use Cathy again and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Bridgit is the best and took such great care of our sweet baby boy, Tino! She followed all our asks and special requests for Tino’s routine, walks, and feeding over a week of watching him while we were out of town. Tino came back to us happy and thriving. I would highly recommend Bridgit for any of your dog sitting and care needs!”
“Margaret kindly took care of my two 11-yr-old dogs while we were away on a long vacation. And they had a great time! Margaret is a true dog lover and was great about getting them out for daily walks and sending us regular photos and updates! I didn’t worry a moment about my girls, knowing they were in Margaret’s good hands. Very fun place to board a social dog, since there will often be other dogs around too.”
“We were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest knowing that Kona was in great hands with Jeffery and his partner. She had a yard to run around in and her own bed to sleep on. We got constant photos and updates of her stay and she seemed very comfortable in their care”
“Tetsu was extremely communicative the whole time Haruki stayed with him. He took care of Haruki like his own and took him on so many walks every day! He shared videos and pictures everyday to update me as well. I really appreciate him giving my dog a bone on Christmas as well! Overall, Tetsu is so amazing!!”
“They were sweet, communicative and seemed to genuinely love spending time with my pups. They followed instructions well and sent many pictures. Strong recommend.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Arlo! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, she was super communicative and regularly sent photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely spent quality time with him — including taking him out on runs, which he loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with Sydney again!”
“There are not enough characters to put into words about what an amazing boarding experience I had with Yvonne. She offered a worry free care filled boarding experience for my dog. From the initial meet and greet and her interaction with Isabella, I knew I was dealing with a professional who loves dogs and provides attention to detail in every aspect of care. Her daily photos and updates bridged the distance while I was away. I am a bit reluctant to share this, as I want her all to myself but she is truly a gem”
“Shimin did a great job with my dogs. One is a puppy and requires a lot of work. She is very loving and patient. I have and will continue to refer friends to her.”
“Tom & Sharanya were attentive, communicative, and showed a lot of care for my 14-year old dog. They have a great front yard, and a sweet dog of their own that got along well with mine. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely love caring for animals. I’m attentive, responsible, and understand how important routine and schedules are when caring for pets. I also have a very friendly, playful labradoodle who loves making new friends and would be excited to have some company during stays and playtime. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My flexible work schedule setup also allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship during their stay I do my best to maintain their usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. In my home, pets have plenty of supervised playtime, regular walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of attention throughout the day
“My doggy, loved it there.. She was so happy and I got pictures.. It was a great experience. Inwill definitely use him again. Excellent communication?”
“Jack was amazing! Our Border Collie, Bodhi, loved hanging out with him. They went to the park, played ball, hiked (in Malibu!) and had a blast. Jack was easy to reach and sent wonderful updates and photos while we were away. Bodhi was a little depressed the day after we got home - surely missing his new friend. Thanks Jack!”
“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!”
