She was communicative, thoughtful, and treated Gizmo like her own. Gizmo had the best time… so much so that he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! It was obvious he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for the entire stay. I’m incredibly grateful to have found a sitter I can trust… and Gizmo clearly can’t wait for his next vacation!”
“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.

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.
“Elizabeth is THE BEST!!! She’s been so easy to communicate with and continuously sharing the most adorable pictures of my cat Gizmo. I couldn’t be happier and they’re becoming great friends!!”
“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”
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.
“Did such an amazing job watching my kitty! Took great care of him, fed wet food and water and played! Really took care to keep me updated and bond with him. So thankful I booked with Yuliia and can’t wait to book again.”
“Holly went above and beyond for my two cats while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and gave great updates! I would definitely recommend for any of your pet needs.”
“Rachel was wonderful! She was easy to get ahold of for questions. She was available for a pre-booking meet and greet with our kitties so we could go over any questions and she could meet our somewhat skittish kitties. We came home from our trip to healthy happy kitties which makes traveling so much nicer. We will most certainly rebook with Rachel whenever we can!”
“Milda is an amazing sitter! She was patient with my shy kitty and kept me well informed with regular updates. She even went the extra mile by helping me tackle a tough kitty stain on my white sofa. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking her services again.”
“Clarice house sat for our two kitties over Christmas holidays. She’s friendly, enthusiastic, and very responsive. The kitties are clean (they need regular face washes) and happy when we got back. She also kept our place neat as well.”
“Fidana was great!! She took such good care of my cat and sent fantastic updates! I knew my cat was well taken care of and well fed! Definitely will be booking with her again!”

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.”
“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”
“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.”
“Will took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy! Greatful he could give him lots of 1:1 attention. Will was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Woodys excited for next time!”
“Would highly recommend Annie for dog sitting as she has always been super flexible with my schedule and is always responsive. She took my dog on multiple walks throughout the day and was accommodating for all of my pet’s needs”
“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!!”
“Can't recommend Emily highly enough, not only does she love my boys as if they were her own - she has bailed me out of unexpected scheduling changes on several occasions. She's also wonderfully communicative with photos and videos every day. Probably the strongest endorsement I could give are the wagging tails when my boys see her - happy butts don't lie!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Maya had an amazing time at Mickie's for doggy day care. My dog is very high energy and she was able to handle her. Maya can be a little minion and is not for the weak lol. I have never seen my dog so happy and exhausted! Her two dogs, Kodie and Ollie are the cutest and wrestled all day with her. I recommend her for sure if you need someone to help out with your fur baby - she is responsible and reliable.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Miri was amazing! I just needed somewhere for my precious Mila to stay while I explored the LA Fashion District, and she took such great care of her. She asked lots of thoughtful questions, was super attentive, and made me feel totally comfortable leaving Mila with her. I really appreciated how kind and caring she was. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I’m in LA! 💕🐾”
“We were in town on vacation and Jessica took great care of Macey. She took her for a walk and even sent a video of them taking the walk. Would recommend and will book with Jessica when we are in town and in need again. Thank you Jessica Randy and Macey”
“Roxy is great! She took good care of my baby puppy so well l. Always keeping me posted, sending a lot of photos and made sure my puppy had fun. Will definitely recommend her!”
“Devon has a really gentle, playful spirit, which was perfect for my shy Jindo who warmed up to him quickly. I received lots of photos and videos which made me feel at ease at work. Thank you Devon!”
“Brittany is more than just a sitter—she’s an angel! Her love and care for Ramón were truly special. Ramón was adopted not too long ago and still struggles with anxiety when it comes to socializing. With Brittany, he was able to relax and trust her. It was truly impressive how she won him over. I wholeheartedly recommend her services! We couldn’t have found a more incredible professional to care for our pet. Thank you so much, Brittany!”
“Pauline is amazing with my dog, Roxy! She made Roxy feel so comfortable, loved, and happy throughout the day. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in great hands while I’m away. Roxy gets so excited to see Pauline—it’s clear how much she genuinely cares. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
About: Hello! I’ve been a dog owner for over 6 years and have raised my own pup from a young puppy to a happy, healthy adult. I’m experienced in caring for dogs at every stage. I’m patient, responsible, and truly love spending time with animals. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in Marina del Rey with my husband, who absolutely loves dogs. I speak English and Japanese 🇺🇸🇯🇵 🗓️ I’m currently staying home dog mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets, give them attention, and take them on walks. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits and Daycare, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your dog will never feel rushed — I’ll make sure they get the care, playtime, and exercise they need. 🐶 When I visit or walk your dog, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, potty breaks and any special instructions you share. 🏠 My home is cozy and features a spacious balcony where dogs can relax and enjoy themselves freely. There is also a fenced courtyard and a small dog park within the building. During their stay, I will provide several walks to keep them happy and active.

“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 have had cats and dogs all my life plus many other critters over the years. I also was a professional groomer for 16 years. I love caring for all animals and will treat yours as if they are my own. Services I offer are dog walking , drop in visits for cats and dogs, plus house sitting for cats. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own so I can’t offer house sitting where I have to sleep in the clients home. For house sitting I mainly take cat clients however I do have a few dog clients that are okay with me not sleeping there since I come early am, hang, walk feed and play with them through out the day and do late night walks/potty breaks. My animals are flexible with their schedules as long as mommy makes it back to sleep with them so I can easily take booking around your owns pets scheduled needs :) I’m currently doing walks drop ins and pet sitting as my full time job, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed and play with your babies! I can confidently follow any instructions and match the needs of your pets. I’m comfortable giving medications and even have experience giving sub q fluids to both dogs and cats. I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. My last dog was a blind 5 pound Chinese crested. My current dog is a 65 pound Belgian malinois. when I was grooming I specialized in special needs and rescues so I can comfortably handle all temperaments even the most skiddish or aggressive animals trust me.
“Booked Lindsay for a quick mid-day walk when I was going to be out of the home a little longer than normal. She was quick to respond for the booking, arrived on time, and definitely went the extra mile with Bella. You can tell she is an “animal person” and made sure my pet was loved on for the short time they were together! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Taryn, a remote professional living in Venice Beach with my sweet 4.5 year old terrier mix. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs an active walk, a cozy place to relax, or just someone to stick to their routine while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Living in Venice Beach means we’re surrounded by great walking routes, and I love getting outside with dog! My goal is to make your pet’s stay feel like a fun vacation while giving you peace of mind. Pet care is a 24 hour job for me - I have a young dog. Her needs always come before mine, and I always want to make her feel safe. This carries over into any pet I take care of! Please let me know if there is anything I should know about your home - loose fence boards, etc. Your dog will never be out of my sight!
“Tierney is amazing! She walked our pup Cash for two days and was so great about sending us updates. She is an absolute sweetheart and we will definitely use her again. Thanks so much! :)”
“Thrilled to have found Karolina! She is a true professional yet has a huge heart. Responsible, caring, on top of medications, even discovered that our dog had a UTI. She's a gem.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and animal lover based in Venice. I’ve cared for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a central part of my life. I currently have two well-socialized dogs who enjoy calm, structured walks and daily outdoor time. Your dog will always be treated with patience, consistency, and care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve raised dogs through all life stages — from puppies to senior dogs — and understand how important it is to feel confident your dog is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. My background includes years as a tech executive and current doctoral studies in Chinese medicine, which has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and calm, steady approach to care. I'm a full-time medical student who prioritizes keeping my pups active, happy and relaxed. I'm home most of the time studying when I'm not at school 10 minutes away. Would be happy for your dog to join us on our daily walks and outings! If you don't see the availability you need in the calendar please feel free to reach out. I have experience caring for my own dogs and understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive looking after your fur baby. I'm calm, responsible, and tuned into each dog's needs. Happy to follow your dog's routine and keep you updated so you feel at ease.
“Hannah was an amazing dog walker for my 3.5 month old Yorkie Winnie! Hannah was also my first Rover and I was so happy to have chosen her! She was on time, walked/ran Winnie for the full hour, and my puppy came back to me so happy and exhausted. Hannah told me that despite Winnie being super fearless, she made sure she didn't get dangerously close to any huge dogs:) Definitely will be calling you again Hannah, thank you so much!!!!”
“Andrew did a great job handling my high energy dog and took her for a long walk with his dog. He communicated well with us during the day and we are happy to have a sweet neighbor that we can rely on for last minute walks when my partner and I have long work days.”
About: I am an animal person through and through. I currently care for a 14-year-old cat who has very specific needs. I have been dog-sitting my neighbor’s young Labradoodle since she was a puppy. After getting my first dog at 8, I have always had a pet. Animal care has always been important to me. I was involved in training my yellow lab growing up, and was able to recall those skills to teach my neighbor's labradoodle to sit. Your pet is important to me. Their care will be prioritized within my day. My freelance work allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I understand that welcoming new people into your home can be stressful for humans and pets alike. I am committed to providing safe care and companionship for your pet while respecting your and your pet's space and needs during walks and visits.
About: I grew up with cats but have taken care of numerous dogs throughout my life. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments, including seniors, special diets, anxiety-prone pups and routine-focused households. During the week I'm usually working in an Art Gallery in Inglewood where dogs are allowed. Working remotely is also possible. On the weekends im working in Retail on Abbot Kinney. I would love to discuss the schedule with you. Currently I'm house and pet sitting only. My apartment doesn't allow pets but I have no problem with moving into your home to make it as comfortable as possible for your fur-baby. I don't have a car, so it should be close to Venice Beach, walkable preferred.
About: Have been dog sitting dogs of all shapes and sizing (ranging from 5 to over 95 pounds) for the last 7 years. I can help with overnight care or a quick walk and feed while you’re away. Can do house visits to help with exercising, feeding and letting out for bathroom breaks. I have my own car, so I am able to commute to wherever I need to go. I have a fenced in patio for your babies to enjoy the sun and am also walking distance to the beach and dog park to keep them active.
