Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!

I chose Vanesa because I wanted to have Baxter groomed at home. I'm thrilled with the outcome and how sweet she was with Baxter, who gets very stressed when I leave him at a salon.

About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.

About: I enjoy being active and if I can be active with a pet then thats amazing. We both get in shape and your furrbabies will never be bored. I do make sure all animals are comfortable and if they don't want to go for a walk then I don't want to either. I work a 9-5:30 job. My weekends are mostly available. If needed in morning before 8am or anything after 6pm during the weekdays. I can do! Weekends I am mostly available. Depending on the area I can accommodate. I have a furrbaby of my own so I can tell when a dog is in the mood to play, has stomach aches, going through anxiety, or even just tired. I cope with pets depending on there mood and making sure they are okay. As well, being in someone elses home and the pet not knowing who I am, its good to have them evaluate me for at least 5 minutes to get my sent and feel comfortable with me.

Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!

About: Hello, My name is Sandy. I've had pets all my life, from aquatic pets to fur babies. I love animals and have three dogs of my own. All with their own personalities and I take care of all their needs, from food, hygiene, and physical health to make sure they are happy. I'm positive I can cater to your baby's specific needs as well. I'm patient with my dogs, as I understand every dog has their own personality and different needs. I'm loving, caring, and observative of their behaviors. I love dogs of all breeds would love to help fellow dog owners by providing my services. I currently live in Van Nuys area but I can take clients that live in Palmdale as well as I visit very often. I am currently a student at CSUN & I have an open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends anytime with little to no notice in advance. I live in an apartment with my German Shepard. I know how important it is to exercise your dog especially in a smaller space so we go on walks 3x a day. He is my spoiled baby. I fall in love with all dogs I take care of as if they were my own & like to take extra steps (cuddles, treats, walking, playing.. etc) to ensure they are comfortable while their parents are away.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: My love of dogs began with the Doberman and Springer Spaniel’s, I grew up with. Eight years ago, I rescued and rehabilitated the best girl and terrier mix, Lottie. Since then, we have rescued and trained a mini poodle, fostered and rehabbed two adult pups, and regularly sit and walk a Lab, German Shepard, and Dachshund. I currently work from home and for myself so I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room for pups to run, relax, or play! I have a completely fenced in backyard and one very friendly female dog. I always error on the safe side when it comes to car. No dogs left unsupervised when needed nor put in harms way while walking, etc.

Destiny was such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby Mazzie! She did everything we asked and more! We got so many pictures and videos of Mazzie playing and looking adorable which was such a relief because this was the first time she was alone since we got her. I could tell Destiny got along really well with her and that’s hard to do! She even helped us out with closing our blinds which we had forgotten! I was also really grateful at how communicative she was. I could expect a response within 30 minutes every time! I will definitely be booking her again!!
