“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.

“Sabrina did an excellent job. She was very responsive and followed my instructions perfectly.

Sabrina is very reliable and professional and seemed to enjoy interacting with my kitties. I will book her again without hesitation.”

“Eric did an amazing job looking after my 8 month kitten when I was going away for holiday for 2 weeks. I had travel logistics that made handing off the keys a little bit difficult, but Eric was super flexible and responsive which made the whole experience very smooth. He is great with cats and got along with Callie immediately. The home was in great condition when I came back as well. 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!”

“Saige was absolutely wonderful with our pets. From the very first visit, she was kind, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She followed all instructions perfectly and took excellent care of our cats, including Kaito, who has special medical needs. We truly appreciated how well she documented each visit, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. We would 100% trust Saige again and would be more than happy to have her care for our pets in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Sofia really exceeded our expectations while looking after our two cats. She was punctual when we scheduled our key drop-off and initial greet with the cats, who immediately warmed up to her. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter and we could tell they were well cared for in our absence and relaxed upon our return. Not only that, but there was a heat wave while we were away and our AC unit was malfunctioning at the time, leading to some high temperatures inside. Sofia found creative ways to help mitigate the heat, adding ice cubes to the water dishes and even moving fans around to help air flow through the unit when it cooled off in the evenings. It really helped reassure us during our travels and was undoubtedly appreciated most of all by our cats. We are grateful for her thoughtful assistance and would highly recommend her help to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Jenny was a wonderful sitter for our little zoo while we were on vacation. Our cat loved her and she went above and beyond keeping everything clean. She did a great job feeding the fish and taking care of the chickens as well. I will be recommending her to friends and contacting her again for future trips.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Carley always does a great job taking care of Mr Miyaugi, our senior cat with CKD. She takes good care of the house when she stays and have never had an issue. Sends great pics and videos and communicates well. Will always recommend her if you need a cat sitter!”
“Nicolette is an amazing cat sitter! I left my two boys with her for the weekend and felt completely at ease. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day which I really appreciated! Highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook!”
“Dani was such a good cat sitter while I was out of town. She swung by for a meet and greet before I went on my trip and she bonded with my cat almost immediately. I could tell from all the photos and communications that my cat was in perfect hands. 100% recommend to anyone in DTLA who needs a trusted cat sitter.”
“Daniele did such an amazing job with our two kittens! She was great with out instructions and really got them both to come out of their shells. Will be booking with Daniele again!”
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.

Our dog is young and has some issues with pulling/excitement, but Abhi took it in stride and helped Remy feel at home. He sent lots of updates during Remy’s stay with him that meant a lot to us. Remy clearly adores Abhi and cannot recommend him enough —we will be back!”

“I needed a last minute pet sitter for my new puppy. I hadn’t left him alone before so I was quite nervous, but Sabrina eased any worries I might have by updating me regularly and sending me the absolute cutest videos of my baby boy playing and getting cared for.

I recommend Sabrina for detailed care for your furry babies ❤️ thank you and will be back again”

She took good care of my 11 years old poodle, take him to dog park, play with him at home, and send me lots of lots of photo and videos. My dog was sick on one weekend, and I told Sunghee on Monday, she asked me if she can give my dog some medicine and I say yes, my dog recovered that night. I really appreciate her efforts to take care of my dog! I will definitely recommend her and I actually did recommend her to some of my friends and they all said they will send their dogs to Sunghee if they are out for vacation! Couldn’t thanks her enough and 100% recommended as she actually loves dog. I can feel it and my dog can feel it too.”

I’m just really appreciative of the time and genuine care she provided juju with. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in seeking help in pet sitting. You and your pet will not regret it. Thank you Sang ! 😭🙏🏽💕💕💕🌱”

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.
“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: 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 :)
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 could tell from the pictures that our doggie just loved her. I definitely recommend Julia and hope to get to have her walk Gene again soon!”

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.

“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!”

“Catherine was great. She took my last minute booking and went above and beyond to make sure my baby was taken care of. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Goose always loves her time with Denae. We didn't anticipate needing a sitter this month but an unexpected family emergency meant we had to leave town on short notice. Dense took so much stress off our shoulders by taking Goose for a few days. It was such a relief when she was available and our pup was actually excited to be dropped off! Thanks, Denae!!!”

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

“Our 13 year old senior pitbull stayed with Mark for a few days, and we are so thankful for how things went. Mark and his lady took such great care of our old man, Reggie. They kept us up to date throughout the stay with pictures and videos, and spoiled Reggie (with permission from us) with treats and brain games. Mark was patient with Reggie on his slow short walks and followed his medication schedule. 10/10 recommend!”
“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!
