“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“Absolutely amazing. She’s been watching Queen for a year and she’s loves her. I’m so thankful to have found Seline. My fur baby is safe, loved and nurtured. Thanks so much for all that you so”
“Haru’s 3rd time with Albina and I can say she’s very comfortable with her! She’s very patient with Haru, very responsive and accommodating with us and just really nice and kind! We definitely recommend her and will surely see her again soon!”
“Paul was a wonderful sitter! Took great care of my dog and introduced him to lots of new furry friends. He was communicative and friendly and knows dogs very well! Would definitely rebook. Thanks so much, Paul!”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“Irina and her family take such good care of my cat Max! It is such a comfort to know that my kitty is in such kind, loving hands when I am away. Irina’s family treats Max as if he was their own, which means the world to me! I cannot say enough amazing things about Irina! She is an angel!”
“There is no better feeling than coming back from a trip to find that your dog wants to stay and play some more - though it was sad to find out i was so easily replaced! Of course he was happy to see us but then pretty much went back to playing with the other dogs and then ran back over to Margaret to visit her. This was my experience when i came to pick up Snickers and this is definitely not always the case when i have had him stay elsewhere. Also, from what i can tell he seemed to have eaten all the food we had alloted and didn't seem especially hungry once we got home. All that to say that it points to him having a great and stress-free time. He was just tuckered out from playing so much :) This was our first stay with Margaret and I found her to be very responsive and clear in all our communications. Ours was a last minute request where we needed to go out of town for long weekend to finish up our move to LA. When our return trip got delayed, she accomodated a request to delay our pickup until the next day. She really removed all the stress of boarding our little pup . One the the perks of boarding with Margaret was the cast of playful dogs you might find in her shaded backyard/play area. She seems thoughtful in assessing how the various dogs will get along and has plans in place should any dogs need to be in separate areas. Mr. Snickers hasn't had a lot of opportunity to socialize with dogs since we moved so this was a real boon for us. Last point to add is that she regularly sent us updates with pix and videos so we had a sense of how it was going each day. In short, she does her best to make a home away from home for the dogs she cares for and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Zac is the absolute best. I really appreciated that he took time to get a sense of my dog, Homer, before agreeing to take care of him. From that initial consultation, it was clear to me that Zac is an easygoing, thoughtful guy. During Homer's stay, Zac was communicative and sent updates with photos. Zac's place in Echo Park is very dog-friendly.”
“Micheal was great and accommodating with our changing of times and last minute booking. Bonita was a little nervous but she came home super chill and happy. We received super cute photos too.”
“I cannot recommend Donghae enough!! This was my first extended trip leaving my pup, Milo, with someone outside of my family and was very anxious about being away. While my corgi is incredibly sweet, he can also be challenging to manage and not always easy to read in terms of his body language. However, Donghae approached Milo with remarkable patience and attentiveness and I was genuinely surprised to see Milo open up to a stranger in such a short period of time. What I especially appreciated were Donghae’s thoughtful daily updates. He kept me consistently informed with detailed reports on how Milo spent his day, along with plenty of photos that gave me a peace of mind and was able to tell that he was having a good time (too much fun)… Thank you again!!!”
“We booked Hilary last minute because our usual sitter became unavailable. We had a trip to Italy planned, and I was so stressed to leave Pebbles somewhere new while being out of the country, but HILARY WAS AMAZING!! We fell in love with the way she cared for Pebbles instantly. She had no problem with her feeding times, walks, crate needs, and even eye medication. She sent us SO MANY fun and cute pictures of Pebbles while we were out of the country that I felt super reassured. She was flexible with the pick up time (we know how LAX can be), and even willing to take an additional emergency contact while we were out of country. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anyone kinder, more loving, or more communicative. I will definitely request her again, and I am so glad Pebbles found a temporary home there. Thank you for everything!”
“Sabrina took amazing care of my dog. I will definitely be using her services again. It felt so good to know that my dog was safe and in a loving home while we were away.”
“Angelica was great. I’m so glad I found a sitter I can trust. She is kind and sweet. She loves dogs .and I can tell my dog loves her too . I’m definitely bringing my dog back to Angelica the next time I go outta town.”
“Kiff is an amazing dog sitter! We had our little guy stay with him for five days, and he made sure to send us updates and photos every day. He’s very knowledgeable about dogs and understands their habits and personalities extremely well. We would 100% recommend him and will definitely be using his services again”
“We needed to find a pet sitter for our dog, Pepi, for a month, a long time to be away. Pepi is a small terrier rescue who can be timid and has particular eating habits. She’s very calm and needs a low key environment. We spent much time reviewing sitters seeking a place where Pepi could live a similar lifestyle as she does at home. So lucky, we found Joyce! She has two small sweet dogs. After we met, I felt confident that Pepi would be in good hands along with good doggy company. During our trip, we received photos and videos daily, many times twice a day. I could see Pepi was happy and enjoyed the company of her two lovely dogs. The photos showed walks, Pepi eating well while enjoying the doggie company. She made friends. I could tell Pepi was happy and I made the right choice. I highly recommend Joyce. She provided excellent care. She shopped for additional food for Pepi’s diet and let me know she was doing well. When planning the next time away, I would not hesitate arranging my schedule first to be sure Joyce would be available to care for Pepi. Thank you, Joyce, for everything you did to make Pepi happy and comfortable. You’re the best! 🐕🥰”
“Justin and Athena are absolutely wonderful pet sitters! They took such great care of Chewy and kept me updated with regular messages and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. They are extremely kind, attentive, and you can tell they have years of experience with dogs. They followed instructions perfectly and treated Chewy like their own. 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.”
“Where do I start, if I could leave a 10 star review I would, from the moment I left my dog with Steven it was pure joy, he was always in contact with updates with pics and videos, he is truly a animal lover, he is so patient and attentive, he will go above and beyond with your dog, I will definitely book again with Steven, thanks a lot Sol my dog was extremely happy staying with Steven. He is awesome!!!”
“Amanda is by far the best dog care taker I’ve ever had. My family were away for 6 days and she was so caring of our dog Hudson. She makes sure that we are at peace while on vacation. She sents us Hudson’s photos everyday. I also like the fact that there is a backyard at her house and other doggies that our dog can play with. Our Hudson is sooo happy and I’m very glad that she took good care of our baby boy Hudson. I will recommend Amanda with my other friends and I will for sure need her Help again in the future. Thank you Amanda. This is Karen!! ?”
“Kimberly was a great sitter! She was very responsive to our questions, and made sure to send us plenty of pictures of the puppy. He came home tired from a barrel full of fun!”
“Wonderful dog loving family that took excellent care of my 2 dogs (Shiba and Cavalier King Charles) while I was away for 2 weeks. The dogs felt right at home, received lots of affection, and I received pics throughout their stay. Will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”

“Lindsey took such amazing care of Ginger, he was so comfortable around her and I knew he was in good hands! She took care of his food, water and litter and other requests for Ginger, she’s the best! She sent me the most adorable photos while I was traveling and missing my baby. She’s so sweet and considerate and genuinely loving with pets. Highly recommend✨❤️❤️”
About: As an experienced veterinary technician and lifelong cat owner, I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, caring for senior and special-needs cats, and making even shy or anxious cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“If you're looking for someone to care for your cat like family, look no further!! You'll be lucky if you get to hire her. Big Rig (known affectionately as Iggy) is probably a lot like your cat. In other words, he's not just a cat—he's a furry little personality with opinions, routines, and a very specific standard of service. Kenya met all his demands. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat who clearly had not spent the weekend plotting my demise for abandonning him with a stranger. That's a huge success in cat-owner terms. From the moment I met Kenya for a "meet and greet," I knew Iggy was in caring and capable hands. Kenya immediately appreciated Iggy's quirks, respected his boundaries, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Big Rig was safe, comfortable, and cared for allowed me to actually enjoy my trip instead of worrying about what kind of chaos a bored feline genius might be creating at home. Kind, reliable, thoughtful—I couldn't ask for a better person to look after Iggy. Five stars from me, and if Big Rig could write reviews himself, he'd probably give six.”
“Maggie is great. We booked her to watch our cat multiple times, and she really goes the extra mile everytime in order to give him a little extra attention. Will book again 100%”
“Math did drop in visits for our cats while we were out of town for the holidays. Everything was super smooth- Math was very communicative and took great care of our cats. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic, and we will absolutely be asking her to watch over our kitties again! She was communicative and thorough, and she even won over our shy boy, Moose. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Emily was very good with our two cats. She was prompt and professional, clear in communication, shared lots of photos, and took time to clean up the areas around the litter boxes. Would recommend.”
“Sabrina was so good with our kitty. She always kept us informed and sent great pictures the whole time. I was never worried being gone for 2 weeks. She was great! We will Definitely use Sabrina again!”
About: Not only do I have a dog of my own that i care for, feed, walk and bathe but friends and family have also relied on me to look after their dogs as well. I’m currently working part time. This will allow me to have a pretty flexible schedule and allow me more time with your dogs! Im available anytime Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I put the safety of your dogs first. I use body block methods to keep my clients dogs safe on walks in the event I'm charged by off leash dogs but will also avoid dogs as an extra precaution unless you state that it’s okay.
“Jana was amazing with caring for my senior cat. She checked in often and sent pics/videos which made me feel settled while I was away. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Thank you Lori! She came over twice to visit my senior cat who needs meds, was communicative and trustworthy. She also went above and beyond by helping change the litter box liner. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Lani was great with our two cats -- reliable and trustworthy, good communication, good attention to detail, provided notes and photos relating to our instructions and requests -- would recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter. Katherine was so great through this process. She definitely cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would love to book her again!”

About: Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here! I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.
About: I've had pets my whole life and got a lot of experience with different personalities through fostering and volunteering with rescues such as BFLA. I also have a lot of experience with pets who need regular medication. I work at home with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to take care of your pet whether it's for a few hours, a day, or more! I have a very friendly dog and cat. I have a gated house with an outdoor area but no grass or dirt. If boarding at mine, the pet will need to be friendly with my own pets.
About: From exotic to domesticated animals, I have been loving and taking care of them. Always and forever will have space in our hearts and home. I am available most days since I work from home and have time to watch and care for your fur babies. I enjoy walking and play time outside. The yard is fenced and we have a shed at the back that can be a safe space for pets and they are welcome to explore the space.
“Our experience with Sabrina has been nothing below excellent. What really made me know it was going well was my husband who constantly worries about the dog… wasn’t. And he was able to have one less thing to stress about. We’re very grateful for the great care she gave our girl and will absolutely be calling her again in the future for daycare. Thanks again!”
“Margaret to excellent care of Snowflake. She even taught us some helpful tips for our pup and sent us off with a genius training tool! Honestly, we are so happy we found her!”

In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their families are away.
“Miguel and his wife were so kind and helpful. They took Hazey in last minute and were quick to respond, which we really appreciated. They were very accommodating to her needs and made her feel comfortable right away. Their home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, which gave us peace of mind. We’re very grateful for their flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend them.”
About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
“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.”
“Abhi was super flexible and accommodating! He went out of his way with generosity to help us out for our time at the dodgers game while he took care of Bella. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was about 10. I grew up in the country, so being around animals and helping take care of them was just a normal part of growing up. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of attention. I have my own little pup now, who is very much my baby, so I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re leaving your dog with. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat mine—with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their lead, whether they want to get out and explore, take a slow walk around the neighborhood, or just curl up on the couch and relax. I work in the film industry, so my schedule varies throughout the year. During breaks between productions, I have plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. When I’m on a project, I keep my calendar updated so you always know my availability in advance. Whether you need a last-minute walk or consistent care while I’m between projects, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and live near a great hiking trail for dogs who enjoy getting outside. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Dachshund who loves making new friends and happily plays with dogs both big and small. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Thanks to Yael's care, I am finally relaxed when I leave my old, anxious dog, Maybelline! She (my dog) always leaves calm and happy. Yael is tuned into her needs and goes above and beyond to make her happy, including giving her little cooked vegetables for Maybe to snuff out around the house. So grateful I found her.”
“Joyce and her roommate were great. Thank you so much for taking care of Olive! My mind was at ease knowing my fur baby was well taken care of. 5/5! Will definitely book again!”
“Karolina was a total sweetheart and my pup Teddie was quick pals with Karolinas little cutie Pumpkin. Would bring Teddie here anytime and know she is in great hands!”

I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries.

Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!

I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“Bill and his family took amazing care of my dog. My dog has a lot of energy but I can tell they spent a lot of time with him and he enjoyed his time playing in their yard. I would definitely recommend and request for him to watch my dog again.”
“There is no better feeling than coming back from a trip to find that your dog wants to stay and play some more - though it was sad to find out i was so easily replaced! Of course he was happy to see us but then pretty much went back to playing with the other dogs and then ran back over to Margaret to visit her. This was my experience when i came to pick up Snickers and this is definitely not always the case when i have had him stay elsewhere. Also, from what i can tell he seemed to have eaten all the food we had alloted and didn't seem especially hungry once we got home. All that to say that it points to him having a great and stress-free time. He was just tuckered out from playing so much :) This was our first stay with Margaret and I found her to be very responsive and clear in all our communications. Ours was a last minute request where we needed to go out of town for long weekend to finish up our move to LA. When our return trip got delayed, she accomodated a request to delay our pickup until the next day. She really removed all the stress of boarding our little pup . One the the perks of boarding with Margaret was the cast of playful dogs you might find in her shaded backyard/play area. She seems thoughtful in assessing how the various dogs will get along and has plans in place should any dogs need to be in separate areas. Mr. Snickers hasn't had a lot of opportunity to socialize with dogs since we moved so this was a real boon for us. Last point to add is that she regularly sent us updates with pix and videos so we had a sense of how it was going each day. In short, she does her best to make a home away from home for the dogs she cares for and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Micheal was great and accommodating with our changing of times and last minute booking. Bonita was a little nervous but she came home super chill and happy. We received super cute photos too.”
“I cannot recommend Donghae enough!! This was my first extended trip leaving my pup, Milo, with someone outside of my family and was very anxious about being away. While my corgi is incredibly sweet, he can also be challenging to manage and not always easy to read in terms of his body language. However, Donghae approached Milo with remarkable patience and attentiveness and I was genuinely surprised to see Milo open up to a stranger in such a short period of time. What I especially appreciated were Donghae’s thoughtful daily updates. He kept me consistently informed with detailed reports on how Milo spent his day, along with plenty of photos that gave me a peace of mind and was able to tell that he was having a good time (too much fun)… Thank you again!!!”
“Where do I start, if I could leave a 10 star review I would, from the moment I left my dog with Steven it was pure joy, he was always in contact with updates with pics and videos, he is truly a animal lover, he is so patient and attentive, he will go above and beyond with your dog, I will definitely book again with Steven, thanks a lot Sol my dog was extremely happy staying with Steven. He is awesome!!!”
“Wonderful dog loving family that took excellent care of my 2 dogs (Shiba and Cavalier King Charles) while I was away for 2 weeks. The dogs felt right at home, received lots of affection, and I received pics throughout their stay. Will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“We had such a great experience with Adolfo! He took care of our two dogs, Ozzy (9) and Jessie (1), for a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He took them on walks, played with them, made sure they were fed, and even gave them their vitamins. Adolfo also kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Ozzy and Jessie were in such a positive and caring place. We highly recommend Adolfo and would definitely trust him with our dogs again!”
“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.”
About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
“Julie and her mom were so sweet! They took really good care of my one senior dog and one adult dog. We had specific instructions for the senior dog and she did really well following them.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat! Therese went above and beyond, accommodating last-minute requests we didn’t expect her to be able to fulfill—but she did! The photos and updates were perfect, and she made us feel completely at ease. Knowing Bailey and Ollie were happy and content made our entire vacation stress-free. Truly exceptional care!”
“Yuichi was amazing!!!!! He did such a good job with Nymeria and sent the best pictures. Communication was so fast, and she was so happy being at Yuichi's. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”
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: Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here! I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.
“Liridona was an excellent and responsive sitter! She was able to accommodate and care for my 2 dogs who need a little extra TLC when I am away. She sent pictures everyday and helped my eldery dog feel better when she had issues with her hip. I would highly recommend.”
“Yvonne was so so amazing! I booked with her last minute and she cared for my pup so well! I received plentiful phots every day (amazing photographer too)! She communicated everything so clearly and timely. Will definitely book with her again if chance encounters!”
“It’s always been very hard for us to leave our dog, but Catherine and Albert have made it so much easier for us to travel without worry! They truly go above and beyond to make him feel like he’s just part of their family. Our dog loves playing in their amazing backyard and walking in their beautiful and safe neighborhood! They also put a lot of thought and time into making sure the pack is a good fit so everyone has fun and is comfortable! Beyond being wonderful and caring with him, they were so kind when our flight was delayed this past trip. They stepped in to watch him for an extra night without a second thought, which was such a huge relief during a stressful travel day. We’re so grateful to have found such kind, caring, reliable people who care for our pup as much as we do!”
“I’m so happy with how much care and attention Mark gave to Slash. He was attentive, kept communication open to make sure I knew slash was ok, gave his medication. I really couldn’t be luckier. Mark, thanks for taking care of my baby as you did!!! He misses you already!”
