About: I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes (German Shepard, huskies, Maltese, poodle, frenchies). As a teen I walked dogs for the elderly who resided in a retirement home. I grew up with large dogs and have learned patience and awareness through my experiences. I currently have two talkative cats and have participated in rescuing stray kittens from a Carl’s Jr. parking lot. I love animals and have learned from each and every one of them that I have had the pleasure of meeting in my lifetime. I am currently between jobs and have a lot of free time to take pups for walks! I am available weekends and holidays! I enjoy being outside and going for early morning walks and would love to do that with a dog! I am comfortable watching pets within a home or backyard if needed. I can carry dogs if they are uncomfortable using stairs or if they have special needs. I am extremely cautious when dogs are a flight risk and tend to triple check harnesses and walking gear!

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’m a natural dog/cat lover and I’m so excited to meet your fur baby🤗 I have a super sweet pit bull/boxer mix in need of a walking buddy and friends to play in the park! She’s great with all animals, large, small or different species, as long as they’re ready to play. Don’t hesitate to ask for pictures or videos! I do have a job with varying hours, so feel free to message me and ask if I’m available, I’m pretty flexible and accommodating! Thank you for trusting me ❤️🦮🐈 Regular Hours: MON-SUN 2PM-9PM I currently have a part-time job, so regularly I am able to take care of your pup from 2PM-10PM. Message me to ask about a certain date/time! I have my own puppy who loves to play with any and every dog. We have a dog park at my complex to run around and play in and a large neighborhood to walk around.
About: I've loved and taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, rabbits, even a pet squirrel (lots of stories about Honey). Spending time with animals brings me such joy and I treat every pet with love and care as if they were my own. I currently have one dog at home (my sweet boy in my pics) that we've had 10 years and we had our precious girl for 8 before she passed last year. I also had my childhood dog for 15 years with an adorable underbite that made him look a lot tougher than he was. :) I'm comfortable taking care of senior and sick animals as well as giving medication. I took care of our sweet girl with cancer last year with oral meds, tube feeding, and IVs. Our other dog gets allergy shots that I administer at home and I've taken care of him through 2 back surgeries. I've used Rover many times over the years and found wonderful sitters for us when we needed them. Now I'm joining this side of it so I can return the favor and share some love and joy with your fluffy ones. I was working full time and unfortunately my industry has been dealing with consistent massive layoffs. Now I'm a stay at home mom, but have lots of flexibility since my husband works from home. When going to your place, I will be careful while opening the door to ensure no escape artists try to get out. I will treat your space with respect and make sure to leave things just as I found them. Most importantly, I will make sure to adhere to any instructions given for the visit.
About: You can count on me for: * Safe, enjoyable walks * Plenty of affection and positive attention * Fresh water and potty breaks * Photo and video updates during every visit * Reliable communication and punctual service I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, but I especially have experience with small breeds like Chihuahuas. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have experience caring for my own dogs, so walks, feeding, playtime, and giving lots of attention are already part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets the care, patience, and companionship they need. I also keep my schedule organized so I can be reliable, punctual, and responsive to pet owners. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and any special instructions before every walk. During our walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they have fresh water afterward if requested. I’ll also send photo updates and communicate with you so you can feel confident knowing your pup is in caring, dependable hands. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and a walk that’s both safe and enjoyable.

“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super responsive, is caring and affectionate towards pets, and will make sure to leave detailed information for each fur baby during every visit. Will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her!”

“Fantastic dog sitter, highly recommend! Itzel is genuinely kind, easy to talk to, and great to work with. We walked her through our daily care routine for our young puppy and she did a really good job of following through on everything we needed.”

“You can tell Vanessa is great with animals. Our shy guy warmed up to her right away. And she handled our 80 lb big guy well, too. We will definitely hire her again to come walk our dogs.”

“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!”

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
“Kathryn took great care of my cat Fancy while we were away for a few days. Lots of photo updates and written descriptions of her visits! Kathryn was a huge help and I will definetely rebook into the future.”

“Emma was super responsive and on-time for a last minute booking. Finn was instantly comfortable with her which made us feel much safer, being that it was our first reservation in LA and in our new place. She regularly sent us pictures of the two of them lounging ❤️ would definitely reach out to her again should the need arise.”

About: I currently have a senior dog of 15, been looking after him and he’s doing great for his age even with his visual and hearing impediments thanks to all the love and support given to him, and knowing the specificities of what he needs such as diet, pets, and outside time. With cats, I usually win over aggressive and territorial ones by providing them the space they desire. It’s currently summer break, so I’m available at all times! I can hand the wheel of care of my own pets toward my parents who I live with. Let me know an hour in advance if you need a petsitter! I’m very dependent on scheduling and routine of your pet, and what kind of personality they have. Are they playful? Do they prefer having space apart? When do they eat? When is it time for play? Or to go outside?
About: experience as a pet sitter for cats, dogs, and other small animals. Attention to detail to each personality and each accommodation and needs while providing the best care while making safety top priority I’m currently working part-time and pet sitting is something that I love and thrive to do I always believe that you must love what you do in order to provide the best outcome I have a secure fence and lots of room for playtime my home is a loving welcoming home well secured for all pets enough room for play and rest
“Jamie did a great job checking in on our Moose while we were working. They played, went for walks and just had a fun time together. Jamie is trustworthy and easy to work with.”

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life but also have years of experience training dogs to become well behaved family members and Personal Security Aides. I toilet train puppies as well and can help correct behaviors in older dogs. I handle Home Care and Transports to Veterinarians and Clinics. I also coordinate week- end Dog Camps in the Mojave desert. Please ask me all about Lily of the Valley Ranch. I am available most week-ends . I take up to 4 dogs to the Mojave desert for amazing dog camps. Fun and Play , socializing and amazing food and care. I have a totally fenced property and a dedicated large space for the dogs to sleep and rest. It has AC and all amenities. I can also do home visit and dog training during the week. Please contact me for more details or visit the Lily of the valley ranch website.
About: i have had a dog since i was 5, and have lived with many cats over the years. i know the ins and outs of pet care and would love to come take care of yours! My own geriatric beagle has me up at 6:30 sharp, airing his grievances until breakfast appears, so early walks are already my routine. My best windows are [7-11am] and [2-6pm] on weekdays, plus [weekends], and I usually reply to messages within [an hour] during the day. I'm based in [neighborhood] and walk dogs within about [15 minutes] of there, so I can be reliable about showing up on time rather than sprinting across town. As someone with a beagle, I am no stranger to having to pry mystery objects out of the mouths of dogs who think a rock is a good snack for the road. I'm very attentive to behavior that could be harmful, and I'll notify you immediately if your pet is acting funkily or is injured in any way. I double-check collar or harness fit before we leave, keep the leash short at intersections and around other dogs, and I don't do off-leash unless you specifically ask for it. I follow whatever your routine already is and I'd rather text you a question mid-walk than guess. I save your vet's number and the nearest emergency vet before the first booking, and I send photos and a short note after every visit so you know how it went.
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.
“Tiffany was fantastic! She was very punctual and did exactly what we asked her. She took lots of photos and videos of our dog and sent them to use while we were away. She’ll take great care of yours too!”

Nayira was wonderful. She cleaned my dogs poop and put mail in the box an took care the dogs during a very bad 104 degree whether for 8 days. He kids are wonderful came with her to help. I recommend Nayira 100% you can trust her. I will be using Nayira and her kids many more times.

Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!

I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)

Minerva was truly fantastic! As a very anxious cat mom and type A personality, I tend to leave a full detailed list of instructions when we’re away. Minerva was so kind and on top of everything! She truly made my anxiety go away. Our cat is super sweet but can also be a bit particular - she LOVED Minerva . We’re so happy we found her and will 100% use her for ALL future requests. She was so kind, on top of everything, clean, great communication, so understanding, reassuring. Just the perfect sitter while we were away.

Paris did an excellent job taking care of my cat, who is a very picky eater and slow to trust anyone. She gave me regular updates and was very patient trying new techniques to get him to eat and socialize. I came home to a very happy kitty! Overall Paris was a responsible sitter who went above and beyond to make sure my scaredy cat was well taken care of. I’d trust her to watch my pet again.

Eric was a huge help! Very friendly. while usually suspicious of strangers both Misty and Bruce warmed up quickly with just one meet n greet! He did a phenomenal job looking after our two pups’, adjusting to their meal time and potty break routines to a T, while consistently keeping us in the loop with updates and pictures. We came home to the house as we left it and happy pups. 10/10 would recommend and book again

Bethany kitty sat my kitten Bianca for a five day weekend and my kitten had a blast. I got the cutest updates- I could tell from what Bethany wrote after each visit that Bianca felt really comfortable with her and got plenty of good play time. Bethany really got to see all the cute aspects of her personality. And she got so many great pics of Bianca! We met before the first day I needed cat sitting to go over where things were and to so she could meet Bianca. She’s such a nice person, very professional, I’d definitely book her again! Thank you!
