“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.

“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.

Since Mikey has some separation anxiety it was great that Chun works from home and was able to stay home with him all day.”

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.

Definitely getting her next time I have pet needs. Look nowhere else for a kind, flexible and extremely capable pet service concierge.”

If you are looking for a responsible sitter for your pet, look no further than Eric! He even brought over some toys for her to play with that he let us keep afterwards. 100/100!”

About: I am an experienced cat owner and caregiver with over 10 years of pet sitting experience for family and friends. I currently have a Ragdoll cat that I raised from a kitten to 2 years old, which has given me hands on experience with kitten care, developing routines, and understanding cat behavior as they grow. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and monitoring for any changes in behavior. I am especially patient with shy or anxious cats and focus on helping them feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I have also cared for cats with different personalities, including playful kittens and more relaxed or senior cats. In addition to cats, I have also helped care for dogs over the years, so I am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs when needed. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and well being. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you are away.

“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: 한국어 편하시면 한국어로 문의주셔두되요~ What sets me apart is my ability to read and respect each dog's unique personality. As the previous owner of a Shih Tzu, I understand a pup's subtle cues, quiet boundaries, and independent nature. My partner and I will both be caring for your doggo, so there will always be someone there to keep them company, supervise them, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. My partner Tae and I both work from home with a highly flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into our day. Your doggo will enjoy constant companionship and a peaceful environment, with plenty of freedom for timely potty breaks, refreshing walks, and undivided attention whenever they need. Your doggo will NEVER be left unattended at any time during the sitting. We will both communicate with you with updates during your doggos stay with us. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our apartment is kept meticulously clean, safe, and hazard-free. A fantastic amenity of our building is that it is exceptionally dog-friendly, featuring a dedicated, safe walking area specifically designed for pet owners to exercise their dogs comfortably. Your pup will enjoy a clean, peaceful indoor space and structured, secure SHADED outdoor walks right on the property.
About: I may not be an expert, but I have animals of my own and I love them so much. I’m willing and prepared to take care of more fur balls! My family has had pets for over 20 years and we all loved them equally. I’m job hunting at the moment while also going to moorpark college online, I’m available almost every day! Just ask!

I have gates that can be used to separate areas of the house to make a secure but comfortable area.

“Mi-Cha-El was amazing, came in and immediately did what was asked. His communication skills are marvelous and I truly felt as if my dog was well taken care of. He has a great energy and I’m sure if you use him you and your furbaby will love him.”
About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs for over 10 years, helping family and friends with their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. I currently have a Ragdoll cat that I raised from a kitten to now 2 years old, which gave me hands-on experience with kitten care, training, and daily routines. Through my experience, I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, basic grooming, and following any special care instructions. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to shy, anxious, or more relaxed senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also understand how important updates are, so I’m happy to send photos and check-ins for peace of mind. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I currently have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I am available for visits and walks in the evenings during weekdays, which allows me to spend quality time with your pets after work hours when they need attention and care. On weekends, I am generally available, though I am sometimes busy Saturday mornings until around 2 pm. After that, I am available for visits, walks, and extended care. I always do my best to plan ahead and keep my schedule updated to ensure I can provide consistent and reliable care. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide attentive, patient care whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some extra company while you are away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each owner’s instructions closely. Since I mainly offer walks and drop in visits in your home, I aim to keep pets in their familiar environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. During walks, I make sure pets are always safely leashed, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy level and needs. I also pay close attention to weather conditions and make sure pets stay comfortable and hydrated. For drop in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also monitor for any changes in behavior or signs of discomfort and will communicate with you right away if anything seems unusual. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before leaving. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.
“We love Carley! This is our second time booking Carley to watch our dogs. She is very communicative and sent lots of pictures to put our minds at ease while we were gone. 🥹 Our house was left in perfect condition and we will definitely continue to book with her in the future!”

About: Hi friends! ☀️ A little about me: I’m Saige! I live in LA with my partner and our pets 🐶🐱 I’m the type of gal to say hi to every dog on the street and to pspspspspss at every cat I see. Animals are also better than humans, sorry. My experience: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, but have been lucky enough to experience being a cat parent in adulthood. I currently have one senior dog and one senior cat (with big personalities) 🤣 My partner and I had two senior cats previously that have since passed. All of our sweet babies were adopted as seniors and I have been their caretakers through all of their illnesses. So I have experience administering medicine and caring for multiple illnesses. I also previously worked at a pet store and have extensive knowledge of pet products. I’m self employed with my own business, where I work remotely and make my own hours, so my schedule is completely open. I do travel frequently, but give plenty of notice for when I’ll be away :) Your trust and comfort is my top priority. As someone who consistently uses pet sitters, I know how it feels to be away and worried about your fur baby. So constant communication and reassurance is guaranteed. I’m happy to meet new clients beforehand as well, to make pet parents more comfortable. Whatever you need, just let me know :)
“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!”
“Chao is great with Miko! My dog is pretty shy and is scared of strangers at first. Chao hung out with him and gave him treats until he warmed up to her. Chao is great at following instructions and very sweet to Miko. Miko gets very excited to see her now. I like Chao a lot and will continue to use her!”
“Jehiny is an awesome dog walker. My dog is very shy and uncomfortable around strangers but Jehiny was able to win her over in minutes. I highly recommend her services. She communicated with me through the whole experience which was important for me bc of my dog's traumas”

“Julia was great with our dog Gene this week when she needed a few walks. She took extra time to walk her and play with her outside and even gave some attention to our cats!

I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and needs. I have a cat of my own, as well. Previously, I worked at a nature museum and reptile pet store which has given me experience working with pets of all kinds such as guinea pigs, bearded dragons, snakes, and more.

This means that my schedule is flexible and can accommodate whatever times work best for you and your pet. I live in DTLA and have easy access to the Metro and the interstate! I will communicate with the pet owner to make sure I understand the pet's needs and personality in order to provide the best care possible. I make sure to follow the schedule decided with the pet owner (eg usual time for meals and walks) to minimize any disruption to the pet's regular day with the owner.

About: I'm a Los Angeles native and lifelong dog owner with a deep love for animals. 11 years ago my partner and I brought home two adorable Shiba Inu’s and the immense joy they've given our lives is unquantifiable. We've raised them both to be very sweet and social dogs with a love for walks, hikes and vigorous playtimes. We're very active hikers and take the pups on adventures through out Southern California's numerous trails. Frequenting Bronson Canyon, Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon and the Silver Lake Reservoirs during the week. On weekends we trek to a variety of great outdoor locations around the city, with the dog's favorite destination being the dog beach in Huntington. I have the added bonus of working from home, so I typically have large windows of free time and a flexible schedule. I live in DTLA with easy access to three parks - Maguire Gardens, BofA Tower Park and Grand Central Park. And there are numerous dog parks within walking distance. Ideally I'd like to build up a network of reliable professionals, who need a little help with their furry family members while at work or away on trips. My work schedule and availability are very flexible and I'll work with clients to form the best care schedule for their dog's needs. I work from home with large blocks of free time. I’m typically available weekdays during the day, most of the weekend and can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet care needs. I’m a professional and love dogs; you can trust me to keep your babe safe and walk/watch them as if they’re my own. For house sitting, drop ins and walks I leave my own dogs at home and come alone for the appointments.

“Donghae was the best sitter experience we’ve had on this app. Our Australian Shepherd got a new friend, and we have peace of mind with dozens of images and detailed daily write-ups when we leave her with him. Absolutely recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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?”
“Jade was fantastic. She consistently communicated with me with meal and walk updates. My flight back home was delayed, but she was a great sport about it. And I can tell Sonny enjoyed her company.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Shontel is an amazing sitter! She also has grooming services. Oakley smelled so good after the bath she gave him! I am so grateful for the quick response and videos too. Oakley loves her!”
“Rosa was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. She took on my 2 pugs on very short notice and took excellent care of them. She was great to work with - so kind!”
“They were sweet, communicative and seemed to genuinely love spending time with my pups. They followed instructions well and sent many pictures. Strong recommend.”
“Abhi has been such a blessing to Rocco and I! He is extremely communicative, kind, patient, and gentle with Rocco. I appreciate the updates and photos throughout the day.”
“Jennifer took great care of my Kosmo! This was his first time with a sitter and she was so communicative and sweet with my pup. I’ll certainly book her as a sitter again.”
“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!!”
