“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Charlie had a great time with Janice and her boys. Lots of play time and cuddles. And she checked in with me often, sending lots of photos and video while I was away. I’ll happily bring Charlie again!”
“Angelica has been absolutely wonderful with my Charlie. Charlie loves her and is so happy whenever I pick him up or drop him off with her. You know that she is so gifted with pets. Ive never been happier knowing I found the perfect dog sitter for Charlie.”
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”
“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Adrienne took such great care of our Wrigley while we were on a weekend trip. She was very responsive, flexible, and provided frequent updates. Wrigley connected with her right away, and it was clear he had a great time. Highly recommend Adrienne!”
“Rika was a fantastic pet sitter! My dog had a blast at her house. She sent me detailed updates on how my dog was doing, along with amazing pictures (they were honestly better than the ones I’ve taken myself). She truly took great care of my dog. I will 100% rebook her the next time I need a pet sitter. I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate her for this boarding. Thank you, Rika!”
“Bandit’s stay with Athene was perfect! She was incredibly flexible, kind and diligent about steady communication and support of my pup. From the wonderful photos it looked like he was having a great time indeed. I will definitely be coming back”
“Loretta and her family are very kind and they were attentive to our dog’s issues with fireworks. The family is a great team! Loretta was flexible when we were wanting to pick up our dog earlier than planned. We will definitely use them again!”
“Cathy and Andres were wonderful! I was gone for five days and they took such great care of my dog. They always kept me updated on how my dog was doing. It was a complete load off my mind. They also have a great, sweet dog who kept mine company. Overall, this was a fantastic experience.”
“Diego and his girlfriend were absolutely AMAZING with my Chocolate Lab, Lucy! From start to finish they were incredibly communicative, sending updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Every time I checked in, Lucy looked like she was having the time of her life - constantly outside, running around, getting exercise, and interacting with lots of other dogs. She came home happy, tired, and clearly loved all the socialization and routine. I felt instantly comfortable trusting Diego with Lucy. As someone with a puppy who’s new to the city, it meant the world to know she was getting not just care, but structure, stimulation, socialization, and so much attention. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I know Lucy would love to go back. Truly 10/10 sitters. Thank you!”
“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“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.”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay at Stephanie's! We were a little worried since this is our pup's first time being away from us for this long, but Stephanie was very attentive and took care of her very well.”
“Eva gave my very anxious pouch all the extra TLC I could hope for. Eva kept in constant communication when necessary and sent us adorable updates and photos. Couldn't recommend her more highly”
“Jasmine is just the best. She has been sitting our dog Cheeto pretty much regularly since almost a year now. I don’t think we could find anyone better than Jasmine to take care of Cheeto. He loves to spend time with Jasmine and her cute little dog Teddie. Best sitter ever.”
“Albert, Cat, and Trey were so lovely to work with! They were very responsive and provided me with plenty of updates and photos. Trey and Lola seemed to be fast friends and were "patrolling" the (gated) back yard together when I arrived to pick her up. They treated Lola like family and ensured that Lola got her AM/PM medications. They even sent her home with an adorable little report card that I hung up on the fridge because it sparks joy. It's always scary when having to leave your pet somewhere and I'm immensely grateful for them for treating Lola so well and giving her love in my absence. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart <3”

“Joy is great with my two cats. My one scaredy cat came out for her immediately when it normally takes weeks for her to warm up to people. I’ve been booking her services numerous times now and I can say Joy is a Joy to have for my cats.”
“Lijuan was amazing checking in with my two kitties, giving them their meds, making sure they had their food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and playing with them. I loved seeing the pictures and the check in notes. I felt calm and relaxed knowing that Lijuan would be checking in on the kitties while I was away. I highly recommend. I am very pleased and will be hiring Lijuan again in the future. Thank you so much!!!”
“Literally the best cat sitters ever. Twilight was spoiled and loved while we were gone for 5 days. The updates and photography were top tier. Audrey constantly updated me and sent the cutest photos. Twilight did not want to leave because of how spoiled she was there. Definitely would go back to them to cat sit for my baby again.”
“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”
About: For as long as I've been alive, there has been a cat in my household. I love cats more than any other pet, and I love nothing more than to be around and take care of them. I have volunteered at Tail Town Cats when I was 15, and I have a lot of experience feeding cats and taking out their litter.
“She was so good with Jessica. Usually she's super shy with new people and she immediately im ate treats from Anne. Her energy was great. Clearly she has a connection with the animals. It was less hard going on a trip knowing my cat was in good hands. She also sent the cutest photos.”
“Narin did a terrific job looking after our cats. She is punctual and always leaves detailed updates, and takes the extra time to give our pets plenty of attention. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Amazing! Was able to book with her the same day since I was going on a last minute trip, and she was very punctual and professional. My cats’ litter boxes were clean, and there was plenty of food and water left when I got home. The cats also seemed to like her! Would book again!”
“Charmaine was awesome! It can be scary to let a new person into your home and trust them with your pets, but Charmaine was so great with my young kitty Waffles- reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. Will absolutely be using her again!!!”
“Camille did a great job of taking care of my older kitty while I was out of town for a few days. She was very communicative and sent detailed reports after every visit with lots of pictures. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Elissa took care of my cat who has never been away from me. Despite my stressful circumstances, I was at ease knowing that my cat was in Elissa’s expert care. Excellent communication and daily updates. Five stars!”
“Rachel is the absolute best. She truly treats my 18 year old cat, Pooka, as if she’s her own. Rachel goes above and beyond during her visits with Pooka. Rather than just doing her job as quickly as possible, Rachel spends time with Pooka during her daily check-ins, and keeps me updated on what they do together during her visits (e.g., have dinner together). Knowing that Pooka has someone spending quality time with her (in addition to meeting her basic needs) brings me a lot of comfort while I’m away. Rachel is dependable, responsive, respectful, kind, and my cat loves her. I highly recommend Rachel if you’re looking for a local pet sitter!”
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”
“Priscilla was great with my cat over the holidays! Third time booking with her and she always takes wonderful care of everything and follows instructions carefully. Pretty photos are a bonus :) thank you!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them feels natural to me. I’m patient, calm, and really pay attention to each dog’s personality. I’m used to walking energetic pups, giving extra love to shy or senior dogs, and keeping routines just the way owners prefer. Friends and neighbors always trust me because I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Your dog will get lots of care, love, and happy walks with me. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I always start and end my day with walks, playtime, and check-ins, so caring for pets easily fits around my work and schedule. I make plenty of time for feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and exercise. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I make sure each pet gets consistent love and attention throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly how the owner prefers. I make sure they get enough walks, playtime, feeding, water, and any special care they need. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away.
“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I love Jordan going the extra mile to not just feed my cats but figure out their quirks and features to really bond with them. I'm so comforted when I can have Jordan watch over them and I will always book him when I travel Thank you again so much Jordan!”
“The best cat sitter ever. Helen took great care of our 8 month old rescue kitty cat Steve-O while we were away in Arizona for 4 days. In fact, he didn’t want to leave her when it was time to come home. We received daily updates and pictures and felt at peace with Steve-O under her care. 5 stars all the way!”

About: Hello! I have grown-up with dogs all my life. I currently have two adorable babies Charles and Tika (1year old siblings) who I love to pieces. Aside from my job as a nanny, I have dog sat more times than I can count and take my bosses dogs to the dog park 3 times a week for exercise and playtime! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and enjoy going to the dog park or walking around the neighborhood! It brings me so much joy and happiness into my life! I am a nanny and have been with the same family for over 16 years. I took care of three children but now I only have the youngest left. He is in school during the day and I am free from 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday. Saturdays I am off. I have 6 hours free everyday to be able to take your fur baby/babies for some fun in the sun, exercise, explore, or fresh air! I safely transport my bosses dogs to and from home to the dog park. All dogs are on a leash until we arrive. Once we are there I play ball or walk around with them and always have my attention to make sure they are safe from any aggressive dogs or anything on the floor that they might want to eat. I bring my two little yorkie mixes with me for company and playtime with the other dogs. I carry wipes, poop bags, water, and hand sanitizer at all times because it comes in handy on a daily basis!
“Frances took in George at the last minute when I had work pop up so early in the morning and she was very kind. She kept me updated on George and took her on multiple walks. He came back super happy and ready for a nap! Thank you so much, Frances. You'll see George again soon I'm sure!!”
“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Great daycare. Helen and Ahmet took wonderful care of my 10 mo old golden doodle puppy. They went out of their way to feed her on her new schedule (she’s had a low appetite lately due to a food change), took her for walks and to the dog park. Helen asked many great questions at the meet and great to ensure she could provide a terrific day. My puppy bonded w them over the course of the day, which was clear when I went to pick her up.”
About: When you choose me as your sitter, you can trust that your companion will be treated like family. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love to spend time dog sitting now that I live on my own. I've watched and walked dogs throughout my entire lifetime, and my goal is to always provide your pet with experienced and loving care! I am excited to meet new pets and give their parents comfort in the fact that they will be well taken care of. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and am willing to help with training, whenever needed. I go on walks often, and would love to have your dog along for the trip. I love animals and would love to be given the opportunity to care of yours! Pet care is super important to me! I start off every morning with a good long dog walk before it gets too hot here in LA, and then I make sure to do 2-3 more walks throughout the day. I currently work from home and I love dog snuggles. I offer all services, so it truly depends on what you book with me! I can guarantee a loving experience for your dog (as I know I will love and care for them just as much as you do!)
“Great boarding experience. Alicia was very accommodating with our last minute schedule. Pretzel had a great time with them. Tons of pictures and great communication overall!”
“Moon is an absolute blessing. I’ve had a few sitters in the past, but no one has ever made me (or my dog Bernie) feel as comfortable, supported, and cared for as she does. Her communication is exceptional — she sends thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the day, so I always feel in the loop without ever having to ask. Bernie is high-energy and a little high-strung, and not once has Moon ever made him feel like he was “too much.” She welcomes his personality, plays with him, takes him on walks, and makes sure he gets plenty of outdoor time in her beautiful, spacious backyard. She introduced him to her dog, Ru, with so much intentionality, patience, and care — which set them up for a smooth, safe, and positive connection from day one. Her home feels warm, artistic, and full of good energy — which is very aligned with me as a creative. Bernie picked up on that immediately. He gets SO excited when he sees her, and honestly, that tells me everything I need to know. Bernie gravitates to Moon like she’s an extension of me — safe, loving, and deeply familiar to him. On top of all that, she treats Bernie like family. She pays attention to his food schedule, his quirks, his needs, and she checks in with me immediately if anything seems off. Her communication is flawless. She’s flexible with booking, great with pricing, and even offers pickup/drop-off when I need it. I cannot recommend Moon enough. She is warm, intuitive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her home. Bernie and I are so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to what they do, she’s the one.”
“Yoko provided daytime dog sitting at her apartment for two consecutive weeks. Our small dog quickly bonded with Yoko and made clear she looked forward to her daily visits. Yoko is highly conscientious, warm, and easy to work with. We look forward to booking additional time with her for our dog.”
“Namie is a wonderful pet sitter. Great communication and provides frequent updates. She was very detailed about my dogs activities and comforted him with his anxiety.”
“I left my dog Arya with Angelica for day care for two days in a row and it was awesome. Arya had other small dogs to play with and a back yard to run around in and Angelica and her daughter were so nice to her and caring.”
“Kiran was a huge help during our vacation in california. We booked a daycare for our dog Leo. During the day care hours kiran kept us updated on leo and sent lots of pictures. Because of her we had a peace of mind and were able to attend the concert. She was super helpful when we were running late in picking Leo. Definitely going to book her again. :)”
“Carmen is the best! My dog seemed so happy with her (and she takes the best photos)! She was kind, attentive, prompt, and seemed to truly care about my baby! She’s the ideal dog whisperer; I cannot recommend Carmen enough!”
About: I have recently made a move from a corporate career in finance to my first love, animal care after my neighbors all wanted me to walk and sit their beloved dogs! I opened my business Rosey Rovers this year. I just opened my new business Rosey Rovers after transitioning from a corporate career in the insurance industry. I am happy to offer my services with love and care in the Pasadena and surrounding areas. I currently offer walks daily at my client's request, for in home sitting I offer a sequestered area for your pet. I have a 72 pound very dog friendly mixed breed in my apartment, however, I like to sequester for safety of everyone's pets. I will provide photos of your pet for you every hour too!
“Winston had a great time with Victoria, Herb & Bella. Lovely gated yard & home to play in. Winston definitely has a new girlfriend - thanks for the great care! Looking forward to booking again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child growing up on a farm. I love pets and think we have a responsibility to take care of them! I have an open schedule and am flexible based on your needs and schedule. I am located in Pasadena. Thank you very much for your consideration. I’m gentle by nature and will heed your exact instructions how to take care of your pet! I know how important your pet is and will absolutely take care of them well.
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I connect with them. Whether it’s an energetic pup needing training, a senior dog requiring gentle care, or a nervous rescue who needs patience, I adapt to their needs. I have experience with leash training, basic commands, medication administration, and, most importantly, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Your pup isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new best friend! As a freelance film editor working from home, I have the flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I easily integrate pet care into my routine. My work allows me to be present, ensuring your pet gets consistent care, companionship, and plenty of love! Whether in my apartment or your home, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. In my apartment, your pet will enjoy cozy spots, plenty of playtime, and regular walks around the neighborhood. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their routine, giving them the love and attention they need while respecting their environment. I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and happy no matter where they are!
“Stephanie is great. She keeps our girl safe and happy. We just did a daycare stay and she was so attentive to our (senior) dog’s needs, helping her through some separation anxiety and the likes. We got two updates and pics of our girl. We’ll be back!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our doggo. Diego sent us multiple pictures from the dog park and from their walks. When we picked her up we could tell she was well exercised and happy :) we will absolutely get in touch with Diego again when we need dog care.”

“Vezoth (Vickie) has been walking my Lumen, on a weekly basis, for 3 months. She took a vacation and we're so glad she's back! I can tell that Lumen really enjoys their late afternoon walks. And when it's hot, Vickie uses the doggie cooling vest to ensure Lumen stays comfortable and stills gets a nice walk. Thank you!”
“Lijuan is so attentive and cares for our pets! We are repeat customers and love that she is often available for us and attentive to their needs. Lijuan’s the best! Thanks!!”
“Dean is great. My dog was in love at our meet in greet before the first walk. I really appreciate that Dean took the time to come over the day before to meet me and my dog and connect with my dog before that first walk. The day of the first walk it was really hot and my dog just wasn’t having it. She kept heading home. It meant a lot that Dean read my dog’s energy and didn’t push her to go the full hour walk. Will be booking Dean again. Highly recommend.”
“I have a Great Dane who is very reactive to people and moving objects. I needed a walker in an emergency and contacted rover and choose Julien to walk him 2 times a day. I was worried at first however after our meet and greet I felt confident with my choice. Julien was perfect! He handled my precious dog with ease and confidence. Even when my dog did a few naughty things in my house he kindly took action and handled the problem as well as notified me and help correct the issue. Moving forward I would choose Julian for all of my needs walking Siren.”
“Kyle is a great dog walker. He provided photos and updates on my pup. I trusted him to give my pup the best care, always looking out for his best interest. I highly recommend Kyle.”
“Andi was great and very accommodating to our schedule, as our needs changed slightly. She gave us peace of mind while caring for our new puppy and our old man and their various needs. She was always very transparent and clearly communicated with us when and how the visit went. Thank you Andi!”
“Stephanie is great. She’s walked our new pup for us while we are at work. Always very responsive, leaves great pictures, and the Rover “report card” for walks is so cute! Just like daycare you know what your dog did while you were gone.”
“We had a great meet and greet with Courtney. She was punctual and our Dutch shepherd Sergio warmed up to her right away. She was at ease walking him. We look forward to more walks and getting further acquainted!”
About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat.

I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!

About: ✨ MY BACKSTORY ✨ Growing up in England, our beloved Border Collie, Orsa, was the heart of our home 🐾 and the reason dogs have always been such a big part of my life. Over the years, friends and family would often leave their dogs in our care while travelling, and I quickly realised how much I loved creating a calm, loving “home away from home” for pups while their humans were away. ☀️ MY LIFE NOW ☀️ Now living in sunny California with my husband and our dog-loving toddler, I’ve continued that same style of care here in Pasadena. We are a calm, one-pup-at-a-time household, which means your dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and a peaceful environment — never a chaotic pack setting. We live in a clean, single-story home with a large, fully enclosed yard, perfect for relaxed playtime, sniffing, sunbathing, and cozy naps indoors. Our home is best suited to dogs who enjoy a serene family environment and want to feel truly settled while their owners are away 🏡💛 Our curious little one absolutely adores dogs and is gentle and respectful of their boundaries. For everyone’s comfort and safety, all visiting dogs must be friendly with children. We can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little family and help them feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am at home full-time so your pet will always be my priority. For home-visits and walks, organising times convenient for you and your pet can be easily arranged. My husband, Ahmet (another animal lover!) works from home regularly also. We don't have any other pets and we don't accept multiple bookings at once so your fur-baby will always be our focus. Our home is a bright and spacious bungalow on a tree-lined street with our own fenced yard for your pup to play in. We are incredibly active people who spend a lot of time outdoors and we are committed to offering your pet a holiday of it's own whilst staying with us!
About: I have over 12 years of professional pet-sitting experience providing reliable, compassionate care for dogs and cats.

I take pride in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners by offering dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats I'm available for boarding durning the week and weekends I will keep my schedule updated with hours I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment so I do this outside of my home and in clients homes I have much experience pet sitting
About: I look forward to sharing my love and attention with pets whose people need a helping hand. I grew up with multiple cats and dogs and became responsible for my own dog at 12. Together my dog and I successfully completed her Canine Good Citizen training where I learned about effective motivation and discipline, animal safety and public etiquette. Throughout my life, I have regularly volunteered with local animal shelters to assist with dog walking and cat socialization and recently I have been helping my housemate with her dog boarding business. I am working part time this summer with flexible hours that give me lots of free time and availability for pet care. I am an active person and would love to walk or jog with your pup. Safety always comes first. Beyond that, each pet is unique and I prefer to follow owner guidelines and routines that make their pet most comfortable. Having your person go away can be very stressful for a pet, so I always do my best to be attentive to their needs while maintaining a calm and familiar environment.
About: Ive grown up with kitties, bunnies, & pups in the family since childhood. Had the honor of guiding many pets from puppy to senior over the years. Recently lost my senior baby and looking to spoil someone elses pups with lots of love and treats♥️ I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so Im available all day and can be available into the weekend for long stays if need be. I have a fenced in side yard and spacious front yard for your pupper to frolic in. I have a crate if your pupper prefers and live next to a park to accomodate lively walks.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I've worked as an animal care technician and have training in animal behavior and positive-reinforcement handling. Whether your pet is anxious, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company with plenty of love and attention while you're away. You'll get regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I can't wait to meet your pet! 🐶🐱💛 Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to stick to your pet's usual routine—whether that means specific meal times, regular walks, or just being around for company throughout the day. I'm happy to help with medications, playtime, or simply keeping your pet loved and cared for while you're away. Safety is my top priority. I have in-depth knowledge of recognizing and preventing safety concerns, so you can trust your pet will be in careful, attentive hands at all times.
“It was a really good experience working with Lanice. I am excited to work with her again. My puppies are very strong and can be difficult to control if you are not patient. Lanice was willing to take the time for Hazel bell and Zeus to get to know her and take instructions. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Yesenia made my little pup so happy, and tired her out just enough so she was very content when I got home. And there was great communication and photos throughout. I will ask her to walk my dog again. She was great!”

“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Bandit’s stay with Athene was perfect! She was incredibly flexible, kind and diligent about steady communication and support of my pup. From the wonderful photos it looked like he was having a great time indeed. I will definitely be coming back”
“Loretta and her family are very kind and they were attentive to our dog’s issues with fireworks. The family is a great team! Loretta was flexible when we were wanting to pick up our dog earlier than planned. We will definitely use them again!”
“Diego and his girlfriend were absolutely AMAZING with my Chocolate Lab, Lucy! From start to finish they were incredibly communicative, sending updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Every time I checked in, Lucy looked like she was having the time of her life - constantly outside, running around, getting exercise, and interacting with lots of other dogs. She came home happy, tired, and clearly loved all the socialization and routine. I felt instantly comfortable trusting Diego with Lucy. As someone with a puppy who’s new to the city, it meant the world to know she was getting not just care, but structure, stimulation, socialization, and so much attention. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I know Lucy would love to go back. Truly 10/10 sitters. Thank you!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay at Stephanie's! We were a little worried since this is our pup's first time being away from us for this long, but Stephanie was very attentive and took care of her very well.”
“Albert, Cat, and Trey were so lovely to work with! They were very responsive and provided me with plenty of updates and photos. Trey and Lola seemed to be fast friends and were "patrolling" the (gated) back yard together when I arrived to pick her up. They treated Lola like family and ensured that Lola got her AM/PM medications. They even sent her home with an adorable little report card that I hung up on the fridge because it sparks joy. It's always scary when having to leave your pet somewhere and I'm immensely grateful for them for treating Lola so well and giving her love in my absence. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart <3”
“Booked with Eric again. He is very attentive and willing to look after my senior boy Tobby by following instructions in order to accommodate his needs. Tobby seems comfortable and well cared for during the stay, which really gave me peace of mind. Thank you so much!”
“So happy with my first booking with Diana! She took great care of Miso and was very fast and communicative. My puppy had a great time with them and loved playing with their Dalmatian for hours. Would not hesitate to book again and thank you so much for making it easy!”
“Dodonnas family is always great with our dog, we don’t worry about his wellbeing or him not being happy when we drop him off. Highly recommend! Very loving as always 🥰”

“Greg took care of Moe like he was his own. He sent pictures, updated me throughout the day, and replied quickly. Safe to say Greg is our new favorite sitter for our fur baby.”
“Rique was amazing. Our pup is anxious and dog reactive and we'd never left her with anyone except family before, let alone for a 2 week trip abroad. Cali warmed up to Rique right away and we loved the pic updates throughout the trip. Can't recommend Rique enough and we will definitely be looking to rebook with him for future trips!”
“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.”
“Janelle and her partner go above and beyond to make your pets feel happy and at home with them! My two pups had a fun and cozy time at their place. When I forgot to bring my senior dog’s bed with him, they ran out and bought him a new bed! We are beyond grateful for these two, they will care for your pets like they’re their own!”
“Yoko was a great dog sitter. She was very communicative and gave us small updates in the few days Chavela was with her. She was very positive and welcoming, which Chavela picked up on immediately. More than happy to have Yoko take care of Chavela again.”
“Michelle was so wonderful watching our dog Junie! She sent photos through out her stay! Absolutely would love to have her watch Junie again! She had the best time!!”
