House Sitting Van Nuys

“Yoo Jee was so great with my dog Curly! She was very responsible and communicative, sent frequent updates, and gave Curly lots of pets and cuddles while I was away.”

About: 9 years caring for my dad's dogs and my own. 6 months of professional walking and sitting. Pet caregiver liability insurance. I respect all animals' boundaries and individual personalities. I let them get to know me in their own time. I have a soft spot for pit bulls and senior doggies but I truly love all animals. I live in Sherman Oaks with my husband and rescue mutt, Boomer. I'm a recent TV industry alumna and current graduate student at CSUN, studying to become a therapist. I'm in school Monday & Wednesday afternoons and evenings, but pretty much available to walk, play with, feed pups any other time. For house sitting, I can be there most of the time except for my school schedule Mondays and Wednesdays 1 - 7pm. I just need good WiFi to study. I know how important it is to have a trustworthy person in your home and looking after your fur babies. I will give them all the love and send you all the updates (unless you'd rather not get so many, I'm good at following instructions too). I prefer shorter sittings (2-3 nights) as I have my own doggie at home.

“Rafa went above and beyond to take care of our two completely opposite dogs and our home while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. We felt so comfortable knowing we were leaving them in such great hands as well as our home. She is a very good communicator and super respectful. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend.”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Shannon as our dog and house sitter for a week, and it was an absolute five-star experience! From the moment we met, Shannon exuded warmth and professionalism, putting our minds at ease about leaving our three beloved dogs in her care. Each day, Shannon went above and beyond to ensure our dogs received not only their necessary walks and feedings but also a generous dose of love and attention. She understood and catered to each of our dogs' unique personalities and needs with patience and intuition. Our older, yet rambunctious shepherds and mischievous mix were all thriving under her attentive care. The updates and photos we received were a welcome surprise, showcasing our pups' happy faces on their walks and at home. Shannon's reliability and communication were top-notch, keeping us informed and reassured that our home and furry family members were in the best hands. We returned to a home just as we left it, with the added bonus of a pack of well-cared-for dogs. It's clear that Shannon doesn't just watch over dogs; she provides a safe, loving environment that truly makes pets feel at home. Our dogs are already looking forward to the next time Shannon comes over, and we're incredibly grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a sitter who will treat your pets like their own!”

“Kari was a dream! From the moment we met her, she was very calm and patient with our two anxious girls who are terrified of strangers. She took lots of photos and updated us during our three days away. The house was just as clean as we left it. We’re so happy to have had her and plan on hiring her in the future for sure. So kind and professional. ☺️🩷🩷”

About: I specialize in big dogs, senior dogs/dogs that need medication, and anxious dogs, but I’m also confident in my ability to take great care of any dog/puppy. I have had 7 dogs throughout my life— 3 of them being foster dogs, I have volunteered at animal shelters, done many pet sitting gigs outside of Rover, and consider myself very knowledgeable about dogs. Most importantly…I already have a great job, I’m just in this for the love of the game!! 🐾 I currently work in social media as a creator, so I am pretty much always working from home. I’m new to Los Angeles, so luckily my evenings are free to be reserved for furry friends since I don’t have real ones yet LOL My two dogs currently are at my family home in my hometown, but when I took care of them I really valued enrichment. I make an effort to keep dogs stimulated whether it’s giving them attention, playing games, or setting up a video on the TV. I’m a pro at ensuring that dogs won’t get into things they shouldn’t, as well as making efforts to respect their boundaries and build their trust!

“Audrey was a fantastic house sitter. She sent us so many pictures of Cho when we were on our trip and took care of our place. Would be happy to book her in the future!”

About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, I currently have a 10 year old terrier mix her name is Horchata like the drink lol. My goal is to give your pets the same kind of dependable, loving care I would want for my own, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently home from college only working like 2 days out of the week so I have plenty of spare time to take care of any furry friends. I’m available most weekdays with a super flexible schedule. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also super respectful of each client’s home and always clean up after the pets and leave everything neat and organized.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my family dog at 10 years old. She is almost 12 now and still the healthiest pup! Living far from home, I miss spending time with her so I love to care for others pets. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with toys, or giving endless pets I love it all! I do not currently work full time so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your pets! I have a pretty easy schedule that can accommodate caring for animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but I love being active so taking your pets for walks to let out some energy is easy for me. I have no pets but a wonderful roommate who loves animals and will happily spend all day giving pets!

“Cece is great. She took great care of our dog (who loves her!), she's totally reliable, responsive and proactive, nice person... we're very happy to have found her and will definitely have her dog sit next time we go out of town.”

“Leah was great! She was available fairly last minute for me after a cancellation, came over before our booking to meet my pup, and sent pictures throughout the sit. Would definitely use her again!”

“Nicola stayed at our house and watched our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Nicola was fantastic with our dogs and took very good care of our home. Nicola was very communicative all week, sending great pictures of the dogs and the house. Nicola was a pleasure to work with, and we would definitely hire Nicola to help with our dogs in the future. We would highly recommend hiring Nicola for any dog/house sitting or dog walking jobs.”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood. I currently have a senior dog and my hands-on experience caring for adult dogs with specific emotional needs. Because I live with a senior, I am naturally patient, highly observant, and deeply respect a dog’s established routine. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, including anxiety medication, and I know how to keep a calm, low-stress environment for pets who get nervous when their owners are away. Whether I am arriving for a high-energy neighborhood walk or providing cozy, in-home sitting, I focus on building trust with your dog at their own pace so they feel completely safe and secure. I’m a part time nanny and because my job doesnt start until 3:45pm my mornings and early afternoons are completely open for adventures! I’m here for bright and early mornings, or lunch drop-ins and daytime playdates. A quick note for house sitting friends: I do head out to my nanny job from about 3:15pm to 10pm on weekdays. I will always make sure your pup gets a long walk, and a full belly right before I leave, and I return immediately afterwards for overnight cuddles. If your sweet fur baby is happy to snooze and do their own thing for a few hours in the evening, we will be an excellent match. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can best support your pets daily routine. I already pet sit and house sit for several families in the area, and I make sure to treat every home and pet I visit exactly like my own-with total respect, love, and tons of belly rubs!

About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds and have much experience helping friends and family with their fur babies. I currently live with a fur baby and would do anything for her. I would love to continue helping others in anyway I can. I am very trustworthy and will do anything to help leaving your fur baby easier for you. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to help and dedicate my time in anyway I can to play with the fur babies and make you and your pet comfortable. I am very trustworthy and will respect any and everything for the home of the pets. I am very respectful and believe I can make you and your pets very comfortable. I will send update pictures and videos as we play and wait for owners to come home.

“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Jamie! We’d only had our rescue pup, Wolfie, for 5 months when we left for a two week vacay to Ireland. We were so nervous and feeling guilty for leaving him behind, but Wolfie immediately took to Jamie and we knew he was in good hands. Jamie sent us daily updates and progress reports on basic training along with photos and videos to boot! She went above and beyond by doing house maintenue like watering our plants and washing our sheets! After our experience with Jamie we can’t imagine hiring anyone else but her for our dog sitter needs. Four very enthusiastic thumbs and paws up!!! ? ?”

“Sadie was absolutely amazing. She really went above and beyond to watch our doggos! She checked in with pictures of them on walks, sun bathing at home, and always made sure we were in the loop with things. Highly recommend her as a dog sitter and can’t wait to use her services again!”

“Emily was incredibly professional!!! I leave VERY early in the morning for work and she was here right on time. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my mags with her. Maggie doesn’t like other dogs and Emily did a great job keeping her away from other dogs while also ensuring she got the exercise she needed. Emily never left Maggie at all during the day because she me a she had separation anxiety! She spent 10 hours with her and sent me updates throughout the day. We have already booked Emily again because she was so awesome!!!”

About: Animals have been apart of my life from a very young age and I’m constantly looking for ways to make their lives more playful and fun. Over the years I’ve gained experience caring for senior dogs as I have had several family pets who needed treatment towards end of life. In addition I have also had two dwarf rabbits who were my entire world and required a completely different diet, grooming, and living space which gave me more knowledge on how to better care for pets. I’m currently working full time inside a school district and will be starting a masters program in the fall. Currently I can do house sitting primarily on the weekends and daily drop ins/walks after 4pm on weekdays. When at a client’s home I will always make sure that doors are securely closed and/or locked to ensure pups will remain safely inside. When on a walk I make sure to notice body language and if it seems to be a stressful situation/route I will take them a different way to provide extra safety. Depending on personality of the dog when house sitting I always keep it at a noise volume that they are use to, and when afraid of loud noises I like to follow your care instructions clearly as to not interfere with their normal routine.

About: I'm a lifelong and committed animal lover. My family always had pets and I have an innate connection and affection for all animals. My family had Old English Sheep dogs (also a horse and cats) so I'm very comfortable around animals. Pets usually sense this and take to me immediately. I have a quiet, gentle nature and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and cared for and for you to trust that your dog is in the best hands. I'm very physically active and am more than happy to take energizing walks and hikes with your dog or play unlimited games of fetch. I’m also neat and organized and will leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have extensive experience with anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dispensing medication for both cats and dogs. I can provide excellent recent and local references as well. Can’t wait to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently home full-time and available for drop ins, dog walks, and house and dog sitting. I’m available last minute and anytime day or night, including overnights. My schedule is open and flexible so I’m able to spend quality time with your pets. I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m happy to stay overnight, provide drop-in visits, or dog walk. I like to have as much information as possible and ideally meet in person before accepting the job to see if we’re a good fit.

About: I’ve grown up with pets, both cats and dogs, and have extensive experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities. I am reliable, attentive and committed to treating your beloved pets as the family members they are. Although I work full time during the day, I finish relatively early, making me perfectly available for reliable pet care during the afternoons, evenings and weekends. I typically care for pets in their own homes, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and affection. I put great care into keeping dogs active and content, while ensuring cats feel happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar space.
