“This is my first time getting a dog sitter and Jenny really set the standard. She was very sweet to my dog. She even gave my dog Zoey a bandana that really added cuteness. I also wanna thank her for providing Zoey wet food coz i was not able to prepare a wet food in my dog’s bag. She really took good care of my dog. I appreciate that she sent pictures a lot and updating me. She is highly recommendable and I will be a repeat client of her in the future.”

“Shardae was amazing! I had so much anxiety going out of town and leaving my boys with a stranger, however, Shardae provided updates and pictures DAILY! She even picked them up from my house because I was running behind. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Kyle was great! Super responsive, nice to meet, and took great care of our maltipoo! I loved the photo updates during her stay. Definitely recommend him. We will use him again.”

“Tatiana did a fantastic job watching Appa for me. She kept me up to date with how Appa was doing and sent me videos daily. If anything went wrong, she was upfront and straightforward with me. She was also very kind.”

“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”

“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”

“Christy and her family took good care of our baby. Our dog Kenobi loved theirs (Phoebe) too and even she was so patient with him. I’m so glad we booked Christy for our dog’s first overnight boarding experience. Christy didn’t even hesitate to hand-feed our Kenobi just to make sure he eats. We’ll book them again for sure! 🤗”

“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”

“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”

“Alice was an amazing host to my dog Max. Max struggles with anxiety and is nervous in new spaces/around new people. Alice made him feel at home and so comfortable with her other dogs. He even joined their pack walks and enjoyed himself, which I never would have expected! Alice is really such a kind and thoughtful caregiver and we feel so grateful that our baby was in such a loving home while we were away! We would not hesitate to book Alice again and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alice! ❤️”


“This was a short stay, just 2 nights. As always, Vanessa and Christian took great care of the pups! They always come home happy. Grateful to Vanessa and Christian for their services!”
“Nick was so great with our pup. He took her on walks, snuggled with her and gave her daily meds. She looked so happy in the photos he sent us. He has a great outdoor space for her and his house is very dog friendly. We will definitely use Nick again!”

“Chieko is so caring and compassionate she went above and beyond to help our senior cat this holiday when she noticed the kitty was not eating much; she hand fed her and made sure our kitty was warm and happy. She basically saved our cat’s life and helped us problem solve along the way. We love her so much!”


About: I have experience caring for young cats and truly enjoy understanding their unique personalities and needs. I’m highly observant of behaviors that could affect their health or safety, allowing me to act early and keep them well. I pay close attention to their nutrition and can prepare balanced, home-cooked meals when needed. I’m also very organized, responsible, and committed to providing a calm, clean, and safe environment. Your cat will be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine affection.

“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”

About: I grew up on a family farm. We had all kinds of farm animals and live stock guardian dogs and barn cats that helped and were our most prized animals. I also have experience caring for fish, reptiles, birds, rabbits, hampsters, guinea pigs and rats. While I have a career I love as hairdresser. I’m looking to make some extra money and fulfill a passion I have for animal husbandry/care-taking. Availability: Sunday early morning and mid afternoons into evenings. (6a-10a), (3p-11p). Tuesdays-Thursdays (5p-11p) Saturday nights (8p-12a) or over night is a possibility If I were to stay over night with your animal family members; it would essential for me to have clear instructions of your expectations and your pets needs. While I have a wide variety of animal care experience; every animal has its own personality and needs. It is important to me that your pets are just as comfortable with me as they are with you. I am happy to meet the needs of any animal.

“Kevin is great, definitely recommend and will use him again in the future! He took great care of my shy cat and he sends lots of great details and pictures and is a quick communicator!”


“Very responsive and attentive! I planned a trip super last minute, and she got back to me almost immediately when I reached out. Loved the updates and pictures of my cat as well!”

About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
About: I've been surrounded and take care of dogs since I was a kid. Years and years of experience (bathing, feeding, special care, long hikes, puppies, senior care) My golden retriever crossed the bridge early this year, (January of 2026) I’ve raised him since he was 8 weeks old, he stayed with me over a decade. And, my roommates always have cats, so I’m very familiar with both! 😊 I’m the definition of ‘Pet Person’, I truly enjoyed what I do and I have an immense amount of love and respect for all animals, specially pets, I consider them family ❤️ I'm working from home this days, so your pet will get that extra attention. I'm very flexible with my schedule. We can work something convenient for both parts. My dog crossed the bridge early this year, (Jan ‘26), so is just me when I do petsitting. At the moment, I’m not offering boarding.
About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
“Micah did an excellent job of caring for my fur babies! Pictures every time she was over with updates. Also, the best tell tell sign my babies were happy is if I come home and they are relaxed and not crying to see us. And this was the case. Highly recommend! 💜”

About: Growing up we always had animals in my house. Dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and a bird. I currently own 1 cat. I believe that animals are not just pets but a part of the family and nothing is as important as their wellbeing, comfort, happiness, and safety. I have a year of veterinary hospital reception experience and am trained in giving oral and injectable medication to pets and dealing with aggressive behavior. Am experienced in feeding newborn puppies and caring for elderly animals as well. I will give your pet the best care possible. I work 9-4pm 4 days a week so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pet before and after work. I am always watching your pet to make sure they are content and safe. That they have been fed, have water and don’t need to use the bathroom.

“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”

“We are so grateful for Xenia and her family! Skye is a bit shy at first and Xenia & Co. gave him plenty of space and time to get comfortable. Skye looks forward to going to Xenia’s place to play with Ori and Lola all the time now! From all the photos & videos, it definitely looks like he thinks of Xenia’s place as his second home. 🤣”

“Kyle was incredible with my Coco! I could tell from our meet and greet that our pups would get along great. I am very selective with whom I trust my girl with, so it was nice to meet him in person prior to making final arrangements. Happy to report: he’s great! I was happy to see the photos of Coco’s day, and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands while I had to work to meet all of her demands. Coco was a happy pup and came home ready for bed! So I’d say she had time well spent. Will definitely continue to book with him!”

“Summit loved hanging out with Jasmine for the day! She was very communicative and I appreciated the proactive meet and greet. Would definitely use her again and recommend her”

“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us. When we pick her up I know she had a fantastic day because she just sit quietly in the car and nap. So calm and happy baby. Thank you Shardae! You’ll be our go to when we go back to LA area.”

About: My wife and I have two Shih Tzus of our own and have been caring for dogs for many years. Our dogs are part of our family, and we’ll treat yours the same way while they’re staying with us. We specialize in small dogs that are friendly with other dogs, since getting along with our two Shih Tzus is very important. We take our dogs on walks every day and average around 10,000 steps, so your pup can expect plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine, and we’ll send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing. My wife and I both work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We walk our two Shih Tzus daily and average around 10,000 steps, so walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention are already part of our everyday routine. We have a safe, comfortable home with two Shih Tzus. We only accept small dogs that get along well with other dogs, and we prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and treat them like part of our family.
About: I work from home full time, so any dog who stays with us gets real company all day long, not just a quick hello before someone rushes out the door. My own dog, Zeca, a four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is basically my co-sitter. He's friendly, easygoing, and genuinely loves other dogs, so new guests usually relax within the first hour because he shows them around. We live in North Redondo close to the beach and have a good-sized backyard, so there's plenty of space to run, dig, sunbathe, or just wander around without ever feeling cooped up. I'll be upfront: I'm not a certified trainer, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. What I do have is years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, the kind that teaches you to read a dog's mood, know when they want space versus attention, and tell the difference between excited and anxious. That's the experience I bring to every dog I host, and I treat each one the way I'd want someone to treat Zeca. Because I work from home, pet care isn't squeezed into a lunch break, it's part of the whole day. Mornings start with a walk, around the neighborhood or nearby park, followed by breakfast and some backyard time while I work nearby. There's usually a midday break for play or another walk, and evenings wind down slow, either on the couch or out in the yard before bed. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long stretches. I'm home, and I'm checking in constantly, not just during scheduled visits. For both boarding and day care, dogs stay right here with us. Not in a kennel, not crated all day. They get the run of the backyard, a comfortable spot indoors, fresh water always available, and meals kept on whatever schedule matches their normal routine at home. I ask for those specifics upfront so nothing feels disruptive. Zeca is around for company and play if a guest is social, and just as happy to give a quiet dog some one-on-one time instead if that's what they need. I send photo updates throughout the stay so you can see exactly how your dog's day is going, and any instructions you give me on feeding, meds, or routine are treated as non-negotiable, not suggestions.

“Kimberly was awesome! She was very accommodating to my last minute request for a sitter. She sent plenty of photos and updates of my puppy and took her on 3 big walks! I love that she has a fenced yard for my dog to run around in. My pup came home very tired, which is a great indicator that she had a fun day. I will definitely use Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone!”

I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“Tiara was a very reliable dog walker. She came everyday to walk my pup at lunch for a couple weeks. She sent updates and communicated when needed. Would recommend Tiara for dog walking!”

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a child. I just have a special place in my heart for dogs. I can promise you that your loved one will be in good hands. I am currently working but I can fit plenty of time in for your dog. I would say giving a weeks notice would be nice. I have a big backyard your dog would love the free space. I can also come to your place as well if needed either way we would have lots of fun.
About: Ever since I was 10, I remember taking care of dogs. I lived with three dogs growing up, and now I have one of my own. He is the best gift that I ever have. I still believe that dogs understand you more than a lot of people. I love taking care of dogs and enjoy walking and playing with them. I am good with instructions. If your dogs require special attention on medication, diet, or exercise, please let me know! I would love to help! Let me help you taking care of your pups when you are busy or out of town. I am your dog person :) I am available to take care of your dog on the weekends all day or Monday to Friday after 6 pm! Feel free to reach me if you have questions about specific schedules.

I can bring your dog along with our walk. If you have specific care for your dog(s), please let me know.
About: 10+ years of experience.

I provide walking, in home check-ins, and house sitting services. Whether your fur baby is a dedicated couch potato, a fetch fiend, or a little bit of both, I’d love the chance to meet them and provide the specialized care they deserve. Remote worker. Part-time graphic designer. Full-time pet lover! I don't just fit your pet into my routine; my day revolves around them. With a love for daily walks and outdoor exercise, I provide the consistent supervision and companionship they need. Whether it’s extra cuddles between calls or long walks in the fresh air, your pet’s care is my priority. Pet/ House Sitting: I have a remote job so I could be home with your pet most of the time.

About: I am a definite cat and dog lover. I've grown up to take care of dogs of different breeds and sizes. I love them all and treat each of them as if they are my own. I am currently available during weekdays and weekends. I work from home full time and flexible to different times of the day. Feel free to message me with any questions! The way I care for pets in my home is pay attention to their wants and needs. I love being active, energetic and playful with pets to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy!
About: Growing up we always had animals in my house. Dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and a bird. I currently own 1 cat. I believe that animals are not just pets but a part of the family and nothing is as important as their wellbeing, comfort, happiness, and safety. I have a year of veterinary hospital reception experience and am trained in giving oral and injectable medication to pets and dealing with aggressive behavior. Am experienced in feeding newborn puppies and caring for elderly animals as well. I will give your pet the best care possible. I work 9-4pm 4 days a week so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pet before and after work. I am always watching your pet to make sure they are content and safe. That they have been fed, have water and don’t need to use the bathroom.
About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.

“Shardae was amazing! I had so much anxiety going out of town and leaving my boys with a stranger, however, Shardae provided updates and pictures DAILY! She even picked them up from my house because I was running behind. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”

“Christy and her family took good care of our baby. Our dog Kenobi loved theirs (Phoebe) too and even she was so patient with him. I’m so glad we booked Christy for our dog’s first overnight boarding experience. Christy didn’t even hesitate to hand-feed our Kenobi just to make sure he eats. We’ll book them again for sure! 🤗”

“John and Miyabi were so kind and attentive with our beloved Mitsu! They are very cautious and responsible, and they were incredibly responsive with our questions. I felt very comfortable with their caring for my sweet boy 💖 I would not hesitate to book with them again!”


“Great service and communication. Love the photo updates! Her calm and patience during such a difficult time in my life makes me so grateful for an amazing sitter like Rachel.”

“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”

“Gina was a wonderful caregiver to my almost 14 yr old Boston terrier for the weekend while I was away moving. She was able to take Lena on short notice which I’m very grateful to her for. My dog really enjoyed her stay!”

“Sylwia is AMAZING. My dog absolutely loved her. She kept me posted the entire time she had my baby girl, and sent me pictures and videos of all the fun stuff they were doing together. She kept Hera’s routines, made sure she had enough exercises, etc. I can’t say enough good things about her, honestly! :)”


“Aubrey is very attentive to our dog’s needs. Goose is a nervous girl, and Aubrey takes care to make sure that she’s comfortable. She also checked in with us when Goose showed some pain/concerning behavior (she has an existing knee problem) and followed up with what care we recommended. She was communicative and obviously loves animals!”

About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed. I also have a friendly dog who loves company and gets along well with other pets. You’re welcome to bring any of your pet’s personal items—beds, toys, or a crate—and I have plenty of room to set everything up exactly the way they’re used to. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”

About: With over 30 years of caring for both dogs and cats, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to make pets feel safe, calm, loved, and comfortable, especially when their owners are away or at work. I offer more than basic pet sitting; I create a nurturing environment where pets receive personalized attention, affection, exercise, and emotional support. My background in healthy lifestyle coaching also helps me stay attentive, active, organized, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I am particularly patient with senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need extra reassurance or consistency in their routines. It fits into my schedule because I can spend time with them at the beach, the dog park, walking around town, or just hopping in the car to visit a larger dog park. Life is good when time isn't an issue. My home is fenced and offers plenty of space for outdoor play. Plus, we spend most of our time outside. I cook homemade food for my fur baby and always take a nap after a long walk. You can feel reassured knowing your fur babies will have someone present, attentive, experienced, and caring while they are away.
“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my 2 dogs! They asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet which shows they really care and take their job seriously. They sent pictures and updates every day. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and run around. I will definitely contact them again.”
