“Jen was wonderful with our pup - we got updates throughout the day each day we were gone and we can tell she was cared for very well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Roxy is the absolute best sitter! My dog always has the best time with her. She’s great at communicating and is super reliable and always flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful that we found Lucero. She gave wonderful care to our dog. It was clear from the updates and videos that he was loved, comfortable and well cared while we were away. We could tell that our dog was happy and felt at home with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving and caring dog sitter.”
“Alicia and her boys are amazing! We are from out of state and have no one around in case of an emergency or anything like that so she knew I was very nervous leaving him. But they kept him safe and happy! Alicia was able to give him his nightly probiotic and his monthly simperica trio with no issues. The boys played with Ruger at his speed and are fantastic with dogs. I’m pretty sure Rugers mad he doesn’t have a boy to play with at home 😂. I fully trust them with Ruger and we can’t wait to send him back when we go on our cruise. I will be able to relax knowing he is safe and taken care of.”
“We are so grateful to have found Jeanne to care for our dog, Luglio. From the very beginning, she was warm, responsive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease while we were away, sending regular updates and the sweetest photos that showed just how happy and relaxed Luglio was in her care. Jeanne went above and beyond to make sure Luglio felt at home, giving him plenty of love, walks, and attention. It was obvious she treated him like one of her own. He came back to us happy, calm, and well cared for—exactly what every dog parent hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jeanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving dog sitter!”
“Charlie had a great time at Jamie’s! He came back to us after 5 days happy and exhausted from a week of playing and new friends. Jamie was responsive and provided updates, photos, and videos. She is a pro. Will board Charlie with her again!”
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“Maria and Ben are fantastic sitters! Our energetic golden retriever, Moose, had the best weekend with them and their golden boys. He’s home and zonked from zooming around all weekend. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter. Very communicative, sent frequent updates and photos/ videos, and overall left us at ease knowing he was in great hands. Thank you again for taking care of our boy, Maria and Ben!”
“Mia is an experienced dog sitter who understands how to read dog behavior and appropriately separates dogs in her home when they are left alone until the dogs get to know each other. Mia sends many photo updates, and we felt reassured our dog was happy and safe. Because Mia supervises potentially more than 1 dog at a time, we recommend her home boarding for dogs who are well socialized and do not have severe separation anxiety. Our furbaby returned to us happy with tail wags!”
“This is our second time with Ellie. She is wonderful, and very communicative! My dog clearly loved her, and got so excited to go back a second time. Highly recommend:)”
“Jonathan was incredible!!! He took great care of our very high energy pup and communicated frequently! I loved receiving photos of Jonathan cuddling with my dog Goose while I was away and taking him on walks and adventures! Goose came back well loved and very, very happy! I will definitely be booking Jonathan again soon! 10/10 experience!!!”
“Zsolt was an excellent dog sitter! He took such good care of Tina and sent daily photos and updates. He even got her to eat, which she usually doesn’t do when we are gone! You can tell he really loves dogs and really takes great care of them when they are with him. Will absolutely be using Zsolt again!”

“Kalyb is the best! She's a wonderful, responsible, communicative, and incredibly helpful person who has always put my mind at ease when I'm away from my little girl (a very sociable little cat who needs lots of love). She's helped me out tremendously on multiple occasions, and takes excellent care of my place and kitty!”

About: Hi! I’m a speech therapist and animal lover based in Venice . I lived with a cat for over three years when my roommate and I shared a home, so I’m familiar with both the independent and affectionate sides of cats. Whether your cat loves company or prefers quiet check-ins, I’m happy to provide care that suits their personality and routine. From feeding and playtime to litter box cleaning and gentle companionship, your cat will be well looked after while you’re away.

About: I have two cats of my own, Nori and Xigua. Growing up, we had three cats in the house. I am very comfortable handling cats and, maybe more importantly, reading their energy. In my experience, every cat is different and requires different communication and care. I listen (and look) first to provide the most appropriate care for all animals.
“Rachel was very easy to communicate with and great with our kitty! Leaving a pet in the hands of stranger while on vacation can be scary but Rachel helped alleviate our worries with her clear and apparent love for animals! Would definitely recommend 10/10.”
“Clarice was great with our kitties and she was very responsive to any messages I sent her. It’s a wonderful feeling coming home and seeing our cats are relaxed and happy. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have a young cat of my own, Annie, and experience caring for foster cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful kittens to shy cats who need extra patience. I also volunteer with a local animal rescue, where I regularly care for cats of all ages and temperaments. I'm happy to administer medications, stick to your cat's routine, and give them the space or attention they need to feel comfortable while you're away.
“Holly took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were away for a week! We appreciated her check-ins and care of our apartment. We highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Krista and Kelsey were such great sitters and so sweet with my furry guy. Took multiple pics, gave him extra loving, and brought in my Amazon haul. Would recommend and book them again!”
“Yuliia was outstanding all around. She was very professional, enthusiastic, and responded quickly to all messages. My cat, Jack, is pretty skittish around strangers but warmed up quickly to Yuliia. Over the course of my 16-day trip, Yuliia fed, played with, and gave lots of love to Jack during visits. She was also kind enough to clean the litter box and sent photos daily. Overall, Yuliia provides excellent, attentive service. I would highly recommend her service to my own friends and family. Thank you, Yuliia!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, from bottle-fed newborn kittens to senior cats who require oral medication, special diets, and more specialized support. I’m very comfortable with cats of different temperaments and take the time to understand each one’s routine, boundaries, and personality so they can feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience with multi-cat households and know how to keep multiple cats happy while making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, affectionate, or needs a little extra patience, I adapt my approach to what works best for them. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow instructions carefully, and prioritize clear, reliable communication. I understand how important consistency, trust, and peace of mind are, so I’m punctual, dependable, and happy to send updates and photos. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and consistent supervision throughout the day. My goal is always to make your time away easier by providing thoughtful, reliable care and making sure your cat feels secure and comfortable.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Venice
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Kaitlin is unreal. Truly next-level. From the second we dropped Ollie off, the energy was calm, grounded, and deeply reassuring. One early morning it was still dark when we arrived, and she instinctively turned on the lights, walked him through the house, and helped him settle like a seasoned dog whisperer. Who does that. Someone who gets dogs, that’s who. She’s intuitive, communicative, and wildly attentive without being overbearing. The updates were thoughtful, the vibe was steady, and Ollie came home relaxed, happy, and very clearly loved. It’s rare to find someone who understands not just the logistics of dog care, but the emotional side of it. Kaitlin has that dialed. We trust her completely and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Book her. Just maybe not on the days we need her.”
“Annie was so great!! My dog got stung by a bee on their walk and she was able to remove the stinger and wash his paw. Fortunately there wasn't a bad reaction and she kept an eye on it the whole time. I really appreciated the constant updates. I'm glad he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely ask her to watch him again!! :)”
“I had a great experience with Ryan. He took excellent care of my senior dogs, including one who was healing from an ingrown nail and had some trouble walking. He handled him with such care and patience. I appreciated the photo update while I was away and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. My dogs came back calm and content. I would definitely recommend Ryan and will be booking again in the future.”
“Millie had such a great day with Hope! She got to hang out on the balcony, play fetch with her ball, and go out for frequent potty breaks. Hope was super kind and communicative and Millie warmed up to her quickly :) can’t wait to bring her back soon!!”
“Emily was amazing! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. This was my first time doing doggy day care and she made everything run smooth for my Lily.”
“5 out 5 stars… From the moment my fur baby, Luna recognized where she was going her body started to vibrate with excitement. Alex, is an incredible dog sitter who not only provided the cutest pictures throughout the day, but he was also able to address a concern I had about Luna with thoughtfulness and intelligence which speaks highly to his training abilities. Luna always returned to me at the end of the day a tired and well balanced pup. For these reasons and so much more, I highly recommend Alex for your dog sitting needs and look forward to rebooking him in the near future.”
“Xun has been an amazing caretaker of our Goldendoodle Dustin. She provides multiple unprompted picture updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Xun to care for your beloved family member, I have used her services on four prior occasions, and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Christelle welcomed my fur babies into her home & took excellent care of my four kitties while I had new flooring installed. Thank you Christelle for your warmth, & wonderful hospitality. 🥰😻😻😻😻🐾”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily walks and trips to the dog park, feeding schedules, providing adequate playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home so will have plenty of time to devote to dogs of any activity and attention level. I am also available to board over the weekends I treat every guest with the utmost care and attention. I have a love for dogs so their safety and happiness is my main priority during their stay. I really enjoy going on long walks and giving attention to my guests so can make sure they are never bored.
“Charlotte is fantastic. She listened to all of my pups little quirks and made sure that he was settled and comfortable. Genuinely loves dogs. Took pictures and gave updates. And gave Otis nice ample time outside and walkies to relieve himself. Also great communication with the scheduling. Thank you guys so much!”
“Myla was incredible with Harlee! She was well taken care of and I think she even taught Harlee how to walk better on the leash. She is very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely be using her again.”
“I am always nervous about leaving my dog with a new sitter, he’s a Maltese and quite an anxious pup by nature but Amir and Steph were wonderful with him. They kept me updated through the day and sent some cute photos. I came back to a happy, relaxed (ish), sleepy dog who had obviously enjoyed himself - I couldn’t ask for more. If I need more dog sitting I’ll definitely be in asking them.”
“Ross watched our puppy ‘Henry’ this evening while my husband and I had “date night”. Ross is very experienced with dogs and handled our four-month-old golden retriever puppy beautifully. Thanks, Ross!”
“Mickie is great! Took good care of our pup, Lola. She’s quick to respond and very communicative. Lola seemed to have a great time with lots of play. Highly recommend!”
“We are so lucky to find Devon! Our pup liked Devon right away, and he has a great place with a large backyard. We definitely appreciate prompt replies and good communication. Thank you!”

“Ross was great. He took both the dogs on two long walks every day. They thoroughly enjoyed having him take them. He was also very communicative and kept us up-to-date on what was going on with them during the day. Highly recommend him.”
About: I've had experience with dogs since I was 8 years old. My childhood dog, a golden retriever named Kellsey, lived to be 14 years old and I was involved with everything having to do with her care. I now have a 6 year old goldendoodle who I have raised since he was a puppy. I can't wait to meet your pup and give them the same love and care that I give my own! I am also extremely detail-oriented and follow directions well - if you include it, it will absolutely get done! I work remotely and have a flexible work schedule so am able to take time out to visit or walk your pet. For walks, I will also have my dog (40 lb goldendoodle) with me - pack walks are the best! I take safety and trust very seriously and want all clients to feel comfortable. I walk my own dog everyday and am familiar with how to have a fun and safe walk! For drop-in visits, I will make sure to follow all instructions so you feel confident in the care your dog or cat is getting.
“Tanner was great. Took our booking same day and helped us out so Cody didn't have to spend too much time crated while we were out for the day. Easy to work with and great communication. Would definitely use again.”
About: I’ve babysat friends’ and neighbors’ dogs since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm in upstate ny, so I have a lot of unique experience with animals of all kinds! I’m a full time tutor so I spend a lot of time at home as I do lots of work virtually, so I have lots of free time to watch dogs! Dog walking is my specialty. I don’t have a spacious enough home to currently watch dogs for extended periods of time as it wouldn’t be fair to the dog, but I’ll happily walk them!

About: I've been around love dogs all of my life. Dogs of all sizes. I believe they sense in my that I will take care of them and trust me easily. I will love on your dog like my own! I am currently not working outside the home. So I am home all day now. I'm able to take your dog out and tend to them as much as they need. I have a good sized 1bdrm apartment. There is plenty of space to still play a little fetch. And in a modern well kept building.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have cared for everything from 10-pound lap dogs to 100-pound giants. I also cared for my own senior dog for the last three years of her life, so I'm comfortable giving medications and providing the extra patience and attention older pets need. I also have a young cat named Annie and have experience caring for foster cats. In my free time, I volunteer with a local animal rescue, where I work with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I am currently looking for a new full time job so I have plenty of time to devote to different types of pet care at the moment! I treat every pet like they're my own and try to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care they need. I know every pet has a different personality, so whether they want to play, explore, or just curl up on the couch, I'm happy to meet them where they're comfortable. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know how they're doing while you're away.

About: I’ve spent years around dogs of all sizes and personalities—energetic puppies, mellow seniors, and everything in between. Whether that’s long walks, runs, play sessions, or just quiet company, I adjust to each dog’s unique needs and energy level. I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, giving medications, and keeping a consistent routine so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Because I’m active myself, I love giving dogs plenty of exercise—whether that’s neighborhood walks or longer outdoor adventures. At the same time, I know when a pet just needs patience, calm, and extra TLC. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Because I work remotely, I'm home throughout the day and available for pet care at virtually any time. Whether it's midday walks, feeding schedules, or just keeping a furry friend company, I can easily weave it into my routine without any disruption. Pets in my care are never left alone for long — I'm always just a room away! When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. In your home, I make sure to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel secure—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, or bedtime rituals. I’m attentive to details like locking doors, checking gates, and making sure your pet has water, food, and a cozy spot to relax. I believe trust comes from consistency, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship, I create an environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for many different dog breeds since I was a child, which has helped me become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. My parents also rescue dogs so I’ve always been there to take care of them. And even though I’m only 19, I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I recently graduated high school and currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to walking your dog. I can be available throughout the day for short, long, or average length walks. I also simply appreciate a couple days’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day. But walking your dog will be my priority for the day. I am a very active person. I like to surf, skate, and play soccer so I have always been up for a good walk with my dogs. Growing up with them, I was always in the mood for whenever my dogs communicated to me that they wanted to go out.
About: I love caring for animals! I've had my dog for 12 years since I found him as a stray, and I have experience working at animal shelters as well as working as an assistant to a concierge vet. I've worked at multiple animal welfare nonprofits and I’ve been successfully pet sitting for years; you can trust your family members are in good hands! I love to walk and play with dogs, take them to the beach, and love playing with cats (+ walk them if they’re into harnesses!) I’ll take good care of all their needs while you're gone, so you can rest easy! I have experience administering medication (injections for dogs + oral meds for dogs&cats). I’m comfortable with animals who are less socialized or don't like other dogs, animals, children, skateboards, etc. You won't need to worry about your pet's safety or comfort with me, just tell me what they need :) I work remotely and I can be super flexible with timing. FYI, I don’t bring my dog with me, unless it’s a house sit and you’ve specifically told me your animals are super friendly and wouldn’t mind - otherwise I leave my pup at my house! I have a remote part-time job with a team in different time zones, making my schedule super flexible. Let me know what your pet’s needs are and I’m sure I can accommodate! Unless you request otherwise, I let animals on the furniture and bed. I walk dogs every few hours depending on energy level and age. I’m happy to accommodate special requests if you communicate them to me in the booking or meet and greet!
About: Hi there! I have been working with dogs since I got my first dog at age 6! I am a certified volunteer with a no-kill shelter and have been for coming up on 4 years.

About: Based in Ocean Park and serving Santa Monica, Venice, and the Westside, I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Utah on a ranch with six dogs, horses, chickens, cats, and just about every other animal you can imagine. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I'm an avid outdoorsman and spend much of my free time hiking, exploring trails, surfing, and enjoying everything Southern California has to offer. I have a 4-year-old pug named Kofi, and dogs are already a huge part of my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, a beachside stroll, or a scenic hike overlooking Los Angeles. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is simple: treat every dog like they're my own and make sure they come home happy, exercised, and excited for the next adventure. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I work from home and spend much of my week walking, hiking, and caring for dogs. I also have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi, so my days are naturally built around walks, outdoor time, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, I genuinely enjoy spending my time with dogs. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi who often joins us on walks and adventures. Dogs in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I love taking dogs on long walks, exploring local neighborhoods, parks, and beachside paths whenever appropriate. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, exercise, and a comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. We often bask in the sun on my patio as well! My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give them a fun, enriching day while you're away.
“Valerie is amazing!! She’s fast at responding and is makes you feel at ease. We dropped goose off and she made it really easy to leave for the weekend knowing he was in good hands. She sent us updates multiple times a day and gave him lots of love! He was a really happy boy at the end of the weekend! Thank you :)”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth as a dog sitter! My partner and I were anxious to leave our dogs, as it was the first time we were traveling post-Covid and our 2 dogs were just as (if not more) anxious. Elizabeth was more than attentive and accommodating. She sent us regular photo updates, constantly kept us updated on their meals and activity - I seriously cannot imagine a better experience for us or the dogs. Simply put, the best dog sitting experience we have ever had. Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Miri was incredible. She went above and beyond and was extremely flexible, especially when I had to extend my stay last minute. She took great care of my dog and even took him go the beach to have fun. I could tell he had a great time with Miri and didn’t want to leave. I will definitely be using Miri again in the future.”
