About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.
“I recently had the pleasure of trusting Mai with the care of my beloved dog, Kiwi, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Mai demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism that exceeded my expectations. Mai made sure to keep me updated throughout the day by sending frequent pictures and videos of Kiwi enjoying herself. This not only reassured me but also allowed me to see firsthand just how well Kiwi was being taken care of. Her quick responses to any questions or concerns I had were impressive; it was clear that she prioritizes clear communication and customer satisfaction. When I picked up Kiwi, she was not only well-cared for but also visibly happy and content. It was evident that Mai had gone above and beyond to ensure Kiwi's comfort and happiness during her stay. I will absolutely be using Mai's services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Mai, for taking such wonderful care of Kiwi!”

“We highly recommend Oksana. We were nervous because we were leaving our cats for the first time, and they are very skitty kitties. But when we came home after our 6 day trip it was obvious they were well cared for. There was fresh water in their bowls, the litter was clean, and there was food in their dishes. They came to greet us right away, which shows us that they didn't feel abandoned in any way. Oksana's communication throughout our stay was prompt and direct - she checked in every day and posted photos for us to keep track. We felt very assured knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you, Oksana!”

We also have the space to comfortably keep cats separated if needed, giving them their own quiet area away from our cat. If preferred, we’re also happy to gradually introduce them in a safe and controlled way.

About: We have both grown up with animals and have been caring for pets our entire lives. We currently have three pets of our own, so we understand the level of care, attention, and love that animals truly need to feel safe and comfortable. We know firsthand how stressful it can be to find reliable, trustworthy pet care, especially when balancing work and busy schedules, which is why we’re passionate about providing a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, along with additional unfenced space on our property, allowing for plenty of supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We also have the space to comfortably keep dogs separated if needed, giving each pet their own area while still receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their specific needs and routine. One of us works from home full-time, while the other works part-time as a personal trainer and is typically only away for about an hour at a time. This allows us to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time for walks, play, and individualized care. We provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. Our dogs are friendly and love playtime with other dogs, creating a fun and engaging environment for social pets. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore, and get their energy out. We have experience managing multiple pets and can easily separate dogs if needed, giving each pet their own space while still ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care. Our dogs are crate trained and comfortable using their crates, and we’re happy to incorporate crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. We strongly believe in following each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate time or not, we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. We prioritize safety at all times, closely supervise interactions, and tailor care to each pet’s needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free, home-like environment where your pet is treated like part of the family.

While I am there taking care of your pets, I am also taking care of your home — keeping a clean, safe, and mess-free space for your animal to relax in. You can return to a happy pet and a well-maintained home.
“Taylor is amazing. She has helped me out multiple times with my high energy pitbull. She’s done house sitting for a week and helps do weekly walks with my dog. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in safe hands and is getting love from Taylor at the same time.”
“Sam has taken great care of our dog Rex over the past month, and also added on helping to care for our cats and house while we were away on vacation. He's very flexible and communicative, and has been accommodating to schedule changes throughout the holiday season. We're very thankful for his help in making sure all of our pets are safe and well-cared for when we're away from home!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, from beloved pets to working as a pack care manager with wolves and wolf-dog hybrids. I have extensive hands on experience in real world animal care and behavior. I recently graduated from a specialized animal care and training program, where I deepened my knowledge in training, welfare, and animal behavior. I’m especially passionate about understanding how animals think, communicate, and thrive, and I bring that enthusiasm into every animal I work with. Honestly, my whole life revolves around pet care. It’s important to me to provide an enriching life to my own pets, and of course to the pets that I care for regularly. I thoroughly follow all directions given by owners and am very meticulous and detail oriented. I have experience caring for geriatric animals, as well as animals who need medications multiple times a day and specific, personalized needs.
“Mari is a wonderful, reliable and flexible animal lover! I was traveling in the Topanga area and Mari came on short notice to help me walk my dog so I could focus on work while I was visiting. Both my dogs liked her right away and couldn’t wait for her to come back the next day. I enjoyed getting to know Mari as she is a warm, intuitive and lovely person. I cannot recommend her enough for your animal care.”
“Andrea and Michael are just so wonderful. I have had some really bad experiences in the past but they are just incredible. When they boarded my dog for a couple for a couple of days, she was literally sleeping with them in their bed .. They loved her like she was their own. ( Which meant everything after the negative experiences I have had.) They're just so and loving and Andrea could walk for miles and miles !I I don't know how she does it for all the walks, but she's in tiptop shape lol. We could not ask for a better care takers of my beautiful honey beast and we are leaving her soon with them for a week and the only reason I feel comfortable leaving my dog for that time is because of them. Otherwise, I would not leave my dog with anyone else.”
“Kyle is a true joy to work with. He is a top notch professional who has taken care of Randy, a very energetic 2-year old Border Collie for the past week. Kyle is punctual, courteous and a huge help to us. Randy comes home from his walk happy and tired out. Kyle is now part of our family and we look forward to many more happy times together!”
“Julia is wonderful and we’re greatful to add her to our list of dog walkers! She responds fast, is communicative and shared her experience during her walk with Rocky. Very sweet and caring and will definitely hire again, Rocky will be happy ?”

“We are so relieved to have found Bridgette & Connor in Topanga! Our Micky stayed with them for 8 nights, and we were never worried about him while traveling. Micky made new human and furry friends, and he was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was clear he received plenty of love, attention, and great care throughout his stay. Bridgette sent prompt updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took Micky to the vet to have his paw checked after he started limping before I dropped him off. I was worried, but Bridgette was incredibly caring, reliable, and communicative the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found them and will absolutely trust them with Micky again!”

A 10 star review…thank you both so much. I’ll be back”

About: dogs have always been family to me. i’ve been on both sides of the leash, not only caring for dogs, but also searching for someone i could trust with my own. i know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else when they’re your baby, and i know the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. i’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own dogs through medical issues, medications, and recovery. i’ve fostered dogs with behavioral challenges, volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society, and have experience with anxious, shy, reactive, and senior dogs, including my own 180 lb Great Dane. because i work from home, your dog won’t be left alone all day. i can provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while following your dog’s routine and specific needs. my goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, communication, and love that i would want for my own dogs. i’ll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way. i work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your dog won’t be left alone all day. i’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily accommodate potty breaks, medications, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention throughout the day. i enjoy being active, so whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, i’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. i know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care because i’ve been there myself. safety is always my top priority. i’ll follow your dog’s routine, respect any training or behavioral needs, and make sure they receive the same level of care i’d want for my own dogs. i’ve cared for senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, and large-breed dogs with behavioral challenges, including my own 180-pound great dane. i’m comfortable administering medications, managing different personalities and energy levels, and giving dogs the patience and consistency they need to feel secure. you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“brittany took excellent care of our two dogs! she was very thoughtful in her messages and was really responsive. we greatly appreciated all the photos and the attentive care she took for each dog’s needs. will definitely be using brittany again!”
“EXCEPTIONAL!!! I felt so comfortable and reassured knowing my cats were in a safe and loving environment while I was away on vacation. She sent multiple updates every day with photos and detailed notes about how they were doing and adjusting. To my surprise, my cats warmed up to her incredibly fast, even the shy one. Seeing how quickly they bonded made me feel even more at ease while I was gone. She’s so sweet, professional, and thorough. Before their stay, she asked all the right questions about their routine and habits to make sure she could care for them exactly how I would. It truly felt like I was leaving them with a professional who cared deeply. I’m beyond grateful for her care and attention, especially since one of my cats can be a bit mischievous! I would 1000% recommend her and will absolutely use her again for future trips.”
About: Taking care of any type of dog is something that I always look forward to doing, and I have been doing it for friends, family, and more for most of my life. I am mostly focusing on school, but when I am free, spending time with dogs is something that I have always been interested in. I want to do something that I enjoy instead of a boring, behind the counter job. At my house, my whole front yard is gated, and has a grass area that is perfect for any type of dog, no matter the size. I am perfectly fine at following instructions given by the owner that will best benefit the dog while he/she is my responsibility.
“Billy had such a fun time during his stay. It was my first time leaving him with someone, and my first time being away from him for more than a day or two so I was pretty anxious and nervous about it . Nicole cured all my anxiety and went above and beyond with caring for billy. I got a plethora of pictures and videos, I was able to completely relax and enjoy my time away. Billy came back clean and smelling amazing, and exhausted from all the fun he had. I trust Nicole and her boyfriend with Billy 100% and she will be the only person I call when I go out of town and am unable to bring him. I recommend Nicole to everyone I know in need of a dog sitter now ?”
