About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house full of them — my mom showed Collies competitively and still rescues to this day. It’s just how I was raised. As an adult I’ve spent the last 10 years fostering — taking in puppies two or three at a time, and occasionally single dogs recovering from injuries or medical conditions requiring recovery care and medication management. That experience taught me how to read dogs, stay calm under pressure, and give every animal exactly what they need — not a one-size-fits-all approach. A stay at my place feels like a home away from home. Your dog will follow me around the house, get plenty of cuddles and indoor playtime, enrichment toys, and two walks a day through our Studio City neighborhood. We have a fenced yard for in-and-out access throughout the day, and for more adventurous pups I’m happy to hit Fryman Canyon or Griffith Park. My own dog is a six year old rescue who’s current on all vaccines. He’s selective with other dogs, which honestly makes me even more thoughtful about introductions — I know how to read body language, introduce dogs properly, and keep them separated when needed. I can also crate or accommodate whatever sleeping arrangement works best for your dog, keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Special experience with: ✔️ Puppies & young dogs ✔️ Anxious or reactive dogs ✔️ Medical needs & medication administration ✔️ Post-injury recovery care What every stay includes: 🐾. Fresh water always available 🐾 Healthy treats 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routine so they have something familiar to count on 🐾 Regular photo and video updates I require a meet & greet before all bookings — in person or via video — to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Your dog deserves that. I work from home and I’m around most of the time, so your dog gets real attention throughout the day — not just a quick check-in between other commitments. I also have two daughters, 17 and 20, who grew up with dogs, helped with our fosters, and are just as enthusiastic about caring for your pup as I am. Pet care is built into our daily routine, not squeezed around it! My Studio City home is calm and quiet with a fenced yard and easy access to outdoor space. Having fostering experience with medical and recovery dogs, I’m comfortable managing special routines, medication schedules, and proper dog introductions — and I’ll keep you informed every step of the way. All dogs must be current on vaccinations. I keep groups small and intentional — up to 2 dogs at a time, either one family of two or two separate dogs, based on age, size, and temperament fit. This lets me give each dog real one-on-one attention.

“It’s rare to find someone so reliable, communicative, and compassionate. I would absolutely trust Nicole again without hesitation and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

“Kieran is one of the kindest and most patient sitters I’ve met. She took incredible care of my dog and helped me understand his behavioral changes when he’s away from me. It wasn’t just dogsitting, it was a learning experience for Louie and me!! Thank you Kieran!!!”

“Sandi was so nice and willing to help out with my dog that has a rare medical condition! She kept me updated throughout the night on how he was doing without me asking! My pup seemed to really enjoy his time there!”

“First visit and my dog came back happy and calm. Michael and Jessica are awesome!”

“This is Juno’s second visit with Scott and we couldn’t be happier. He is easy to book and he’s a proactive communicator, sending photos and updates. And he has dogs Juno can play with (she’s very high energy). This is a great fit for us and our pup. A+.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kiddo. Got my start taking care of the neighborhood dogs . I currently work with dogs on weekly basis . Providing a safe happy place for them to stay is a priority . As well as maintaining their day to day schedule . Like their feeding schedule , walks , administering any medications and more ! Dogs/Pets are my daily and weekly . I have extra time to offer another pup who may need a safe happy place to stay while their parents are away ! I have a private fenced front yard as well as a private secured fenced backyard. Pups are never left unattended . I have an amazing senior yellow Labrador named Fonzie who is great with all dogs . I work around the clock for any pup that is in my care , That is a priority ! It’s very important to me that each pup feels like it’s their home away from home !

“Mandy was such a savior. Unfortunately, a sitter we were going to book with had to cancel last minute, so we reached out to Mandy, and she was super flexible. She sent a ton of updates, so I never felt anxious about how Nami was doing! Nami came home Very happy and exhausted from a fun day with Mandy. Would 100% recommend!”

About: Hi there! My name is Jennifer and I am a lover of animals and nature. I am very attentive to the animals that I work with and I am highly sensitive to the needs of those around me, including animals. I grew up having a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, fish, snakes, and hamsters. I currently only have one pet, a bearded dragon (who lives in a tank). I have several years of experience working as a pet groomer's assistant for a mobile pet grooming business, where I worked daily with dogs and the occasional cat. I am happy to come to your four-legged friend for dog walking and check-ins, or they can come to my home for boardings. Thank you for visiting my profile and I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I am a part-time student so I have plenty of time to give attention to your beloved best friend! I am home most days of the week and only out for short periods of time to run errands. My schedule is fairly flexible. For boardings: I have a front yard & a back yard, however the front yard will only be used if your pet is leashed so as to not risk them getting out. The backyard is escape-proofed for even very small dogs, and your pet will never be left outside unsupervised. The backyard is big enough for playing fetch & potty breaks. I typically do not leave any animals alone in my home for more than a couple hours at a time, in case I need to run an errand. For sittings: I am very courteous as to keep your home in the condition that it was left in upon arrival. I will put items where I found them & treat your pets and your home with the same care & respect that I would give my own pets & home!

“Hyojin is a wonderful sitter, highly recommend her for any stays or sittings :) she provides a lot of photos and updates throughout! She’s a great communicator and is thorough before the sitting happens, so that she is prepared.”

“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and absolutely love the joy and comfort they bring. No fur baby is too big or too small to accompany me on my neighborhood walks. I look forward to becoming your pets new friend! I’m a freelance assistant with a ton of free time to cater to your pets needs. I have the flexibility to be available for you in the morning, afternoon or night time. I live in a secure apartment building with no children or other pets in my home. I have a park nearby where everyone walks their dogs, water and food bowl on hand if needed and ready to accommodate each and every one of their needs.

“I moved, and it had to be one of the most stressful days- luckily I knew my doggie was in great hands and I didn’t need to worry about her! Omar was awesome- as I needed to be flexible with the movers, so he was flexible with drop off and pick up time. Amazing!!”

“Ofelia was a great sitter for our dog Benny. She was communicative and provided updates. Benny seemed to be happy to come back and it’s great knowing he was loved and cared for!”

About: Growing up, I had helped my uncle pet sitting a number of dogs he had for many years. After college, I worked at a horse barn working and training horses for English riding lessons from beginner to immediate riders. After I moved out of the house, my mom got her first dog, a large pit mix. I would often help take care of him every holiday I returned home to visit. Once I had settled in the LA area, I adopted my first dog a GSD Mix who I started working with similarly to the horses at the barn I worked at. People always tell me how impressed they are with how well-behaved my dog is thanks to my previous experience. I’m currently available full time for any and all pet sitting needs from long walks to short play dates. Weekends are a little harder for me but not impossible if needed. I have a one bedroom apartment. If the guest dog doesn’t get along with mine, I can keep the dogs in separate rooms and take them on individual walks. I also have an extra medium-large crate and blankets if needed. I’m willing to do whatever is requested in order for the client’s dog to relax in their own home as well.

About: Growing up in Chicago I've had dogs/cats my whole entire life. Moving to LA made it unavailable for me to have my own anymore. I can exercise with dogs. I do runyan canyon atleast 3 times a week. I work from home and enjoy getting out every two hours for 30 minutes and having a lil buddy to hang out with during the day while I work. I broke both of my legs last year in a pair of motorcycle accidents so I really have a new appreciation for walking haha. I'd say your dog and I are doing each other favors. Your pup is in good hands with me. I keep it simple and I'll do what you need me to do with your dog.

About: As a human race, we're lucky to have these wonderful creatures. Unfortunately, my fiancee and I don't have the space for our own pooch and would welcome the opportunity to meet as many of these beautiful animals as possible. For years, I've worked from home and my fiancee has a surprisingly flexible schedule. Essentially, it would fit wonderfully into our schedules and be a welcome responsibility. First and foremost, we would take care of the pets according to the owner's instructions and needs (and pets needs). Secondly, we provide a warm, loving, safe, and comfortable home for pets. It would be like a vacation getaway for them. Furthermore, we understand that sometimes a mess can happen. This is why it's beneficial that my fiancee and I both now how to get stains out, haha. Sometimes someone spills the milk. But it ain't worth crying over.

About: I’ve had 2-3 labs in my childhood home since I was 13. My sister is a dog groomer/ daycare specialist and she taught me everything I know! I create my own schedule so I am able to dog sit/ walk majority of the day. I am very communicative and have two other roommates that love dogs as well! I have a big apartment room in a 7 unit complex. I have other friends with pups that live in the building as well as have a huge park right across the street!
