About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and energy levels. I’ve grown up with labs and labradoodles who I miss dearly. I truly love being around animals and always find myself helping out with friends’ pet needs. Whether it’s a slow stroll for an older dog or an energetic adventure with a pup, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love bonding with animals. I’ve cared for dogs with special diets, anxiety and medication needs. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and lots of love <3 I make my own work schedule and can accommodate pretty much any time to care for your pup so long as my calendar is open. Just shoot me a message! I adapt to each pet’s routine and needs to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving meds, extra playtime, or just lots of calm companionship—I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. I’m flexible, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my heart, patience, and experience. I don’t just walk dogs—I build trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of pups, from high-energy breeds to shy rescues, playful puppies to slow-moving seniors. I know how to read their body language, honor their pace, and make each walk or visit feel safe and fun. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands, potty breaks, and leash manners, and I’m gentle and attentive with older dogs who need a little extra care and time. Whether your dog needs a calm walk or an energy-burning adventure, I adapt to their needs and personality. Above all, I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I’d want someone to treat mine I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to walk your pups! I love mornings to walk but I’m pretty available all day. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and presence. I pay close attention to their routines, energy levels, and comfort zones. I always ask about their preferences, quirks, and needs so I can make them feel safe and relaxed. In your home, I keep things familiar—feeding schedules, walk times, play routines, and any training cues you use. I keep the space tidy, respectful, and peaceful while giving your pet consistency and care. If they’re staying with me, I create a calm, cozy environment where they’re never overwhelmed. I keep communication open with photo and video updates so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Every animal has their own language—I listen, I adapt, and I love them just the way they are.
About: As a retired mom with a calm lifestyle and a spacious home in Marina del Rey, I’m available full-time to give pets my full attention, patience, and love. I have experience with senior pets, special needs animals, and pets on customized routines — including administering medications and providing gentle support for anxious or older pets. Nutrition is also a passion of mine. I avoid highly processed foods and fillers and instead focus on natural, species-appropriate meals. I’m well-versed in raw feeding, and I always prepare food with the highest hygiene standards, using only quality sources and safe practices to help avoid any risks like parasites or bacteria. Your pet’s health and happiness are my top priority, inside and out. Whether your dog or cat needs long walks, a gentle routine, or just a peaceful companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel at home and loved. As a devoted cat mom to Filon, I truly understand the feline mindset — their independence, their quirks, and their need for calm, consistent care. I offer a quiet, clean, and spacious home in Marina del Rey, perfect for cats who need a peaceful place while their humans are away. I'm experienced with all types of cats — from shy or senior kitties to playful, high-energy ones. I take pride in keeping litter boxes impeccably clean, creating a stress-free environment, and respecting each cat’s personality and boundaries. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and have experience monitoring health through behavior and appetite changes. Nutrition is a huge focus in my pet care. I avoid commercial fillers and prefer natural, high-quality foods. I also support raw feeding, with careful attention to hygiene and sourcing to avoid parasites or contamination. Whether your cat is a cuddler or prefers their own space, I’ll provide the calm, loving, and attentive care they need while you're away. In my home, pets are treated like family — with freedom to relax, play, and feel secure in a calm, clean environment. I live in a gated apartment community in Marina del Rey, which adds an extra level of security and peace of mind. We have our own private green space as well as a dedicated dog park area specifically for potty breaks and playtime. Just around the corner is a beautiful public park by the marina, perfect for peaceful walks and a change of scenery. My home is tidy, pet-safe, and designed to be a calm oasis — especially for animals who are used to structure and gentle routines. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I bring the same level of attentiveness and respect, always following routines, maintaining a clean space, and sending regular photo updates. Your pet’s physical and emotional safety is my top priority, whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their own space.
“Robert was fantastic, start to finish! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. I needed a daily dog walker very quickly and he was able to help me out and my dog Petey loves him! I will definitely be using Robert again.”
“Kerry was awesome! I typically request a walker for my dogs last minute due to my chaotic schedule and she was readily available for five days straight!! Took such great photos and provided detailed updates of my dogs walks with her.”
About: I've watched our family, friends, and coworkers dogs a few times and loved it. Right now, I don't have any pets of my own, but would love to watch yours while you are away. My job allows me to work from home so if you don't want your furry loved one to spend hours alone in a stranger's apartment bored in a crate all day, I may be a match! I care immensely about ensuring each pet's comfort and happiness while in my care I work from home so I have more than enough open time to take care of any and all pets that need attention and care I always take care of pets by how the owner wants me to. I never take any liberties with any pets to make sure all owners are comfortable.
“So relieved knowing that my dog who can sometimes jump at skateboards is in safe hands! Lovi loves Nick and probably cant wait to see him again. 10/10!!”
“She was wonderful with my dog.”
About: Hello there! I had a former business with my Girlfriend. Pet's Amore!

I am fully open at all hours for taking care of your pet and what needs to be done. I can be there in short notice also. I live on a walk street in Venice, so there is a lot of outside options. At a clients home I understand the specifically of each different needs and comfort of your pet

I also offer reduced house-sitting rates for longer bookings or repeat clients. I genuinely value building trust and lasting connections. I love animals so much that I got a Master’s degree in Animal Behavior and Welfare, and a soft spot for all things furry. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals — from dogs and cats to sheep, rabbits, and chickens — and learned early on how to care for them with love and responsibility. One of my first jobs as a kid was dog-sitting for friends on vacation, and I’ve never stopped since! I’ve owned both a high-energy mini pinscher mix (Django) and a playful orange tabby cat (Lucky). While my own pets have passed on, I’d love to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m calm, gentle, and intuitive, and I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pup is full of energy, or more calm, I bring patience, attentiveness, and lots of affection. I’m also available for longer sits (1–2 weeks or even longer). If you’re heading out of town, your pet and home will be in caring hands. What I offer: Personalized care in your pet’s familiar space Going above and beyond to make you feel at ease your pets and space are well taken care of Daily check-ins with photos Long walks, playtime, snuggles, or calm companionship (depending on your pet’s vibe!)

Let me know how I can help — I’d love to connect, meet your fur baby, and make your time away truly stress-free! 🐾🧡 I have plenty of time to sit and play with your pets. I can take them on long walks and give them lots of attention! :) I live in Venice very close to the canals and the beach- both great areas to explore! Need someone to drop in during the day or need overnight help? I will come to your home and take care of your pets however you would like. I make sure your pets and home are always safe, happy, and well-cared for. I'm great with shy as well as high-energy pets. I am great at reading pups and will adjust my approach to best fit your dog’s needs!
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a baby. Had dogs my entire life so why not hang out with them and make some money doing it:) Currently working in the restaurant industry and wanting to make some money on the side so hanging out with some dogs is a no brainer! Always giving the animals attention even if they get annoyed of my love lol have two cats and have had dogs my whole life and can’t think of a better job
About: "Jeremy and Chia are hands down two of the best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I felt completely at ease. They communicated with me multiple times a day, sent dozens of photos and updates, and truly treated my pup like part of their own family." by Ashley, Pinto Bean's mom. We usually care for just 1–2 dogs at a time, so we are able to give your pup plenty of personalized love and attention. With a super flexible schedule, we can truly cater to your dog’s needs. We know your dog is part of your family, so we treat them like they’re part of ours too! Feel free to check out our reviews. We genuinely treat every dog with the same love and care as our own! We live on the first floor with a huge, fully fenced yard, which is perfect for zoomies, sunbathing, or fetch marathons. And don’t worry, we never leave pups out there alone. One of us is always hanging out with them. We are also just 10 minutes from the beach and run daily, so if your dog’s into ocean breezes and cardio, we’re happy to bring them along for the ride! We can easily give your pup the personalized care and attention they need. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by a stroll to the coffee shop, plenty of potty breaks, and lots of yard time playing fetch. We also like to take walks along the canal in the afternoon and squeeze in a quick walk before bedtime. Since we’re pretty active, we love taking dogs to the beach on weekends or even going for a run by the shore if they’re up for it. Your dogs will never be bored with us! We even took one of our boarding dogs on a trip to Mammoth! We live in a private community that is dog-friendly, which has a huge, shared fenced yard. We also have many toys for the dogs to play with!

Jacob T.
“To Whom It May Concern, I cannot recommend Jake Tandy highly enough! He has been our pet sitter/dog walker since Lily Rose came to us 9 years ago and Sadie came to us 11 years ago. He cares for them with the utmost compassion, responsibility, and professionalism. From the beginning, Jake has impressed us with his attention to detail, punctuality, and genuine love for animals. He took excellent care of our “furmily” ensuring feeding schedules were followed, medications were administered when necessary, and playtime and walks were never missed. He also kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets just love Jake and look forward to his visits! I actually believe he takes better care of them than we do! We always return home to a happy, well-cared-for animal and a clean home. I have full confidence in Jake and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced pet sitter. Rest assured your pets will be in excellent hands.”

Katie was amazing dream dog walker! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs. Katie was on time, super communicative, and gave great photo updates. Highly recommend her!
Kenneth is my go-to walker because he can handle my big senior Lab with mobility issues. Kenneth is reliable, responsive and I trust him with my buddy. I highly recommend Kenneth!
Elena has been a great addition to my old man’s walker team. He took to her right away and she has been very communicative and takes great pictures :) She even went above and beyond and helped with a time sensitive non dog related issue that came up at the house! We will definitely be booking Elena again.
Robert is fantastic. My dog Albus is a big boy. He’s sweet but reactive to other large male dogs. Robert handled him so incredibly well. I think our dog is better behaved having been walked by Robert. We had to change time once or twice and Robert was extremely flexible. We definitely engage Robert again. Glad we found Robert. He’s really great.
Emily has taken great care of our dog Mavwith regular walks! She is incredibly reliable and always lets us know about any changes in the schedule! She is flexible and has helped us out when we needed last minute help. Most importantly, Mav loves her and looks forward to his walks!! Thank you Emily!!

Rachel was wonderful and so gracious when schedule changed. I will most certainly use her again for my little Cavalier however, she was fabulous with my daughter's big big dog.
After Alice took care of my dog, I came home to a pup who was noticeably happier, more energetic, and full of spirit. It was clear he had a wonderful time with her. Alice has a natural understanding of dogs and truly knows how to make them feel safe, loved, and even more joyful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and intuitive caregiver!

First time booking a dog walker in a place we were traveling in - to check in on our husky and walk him while we went up to Yosemite to hike non dog friendly areas.

Thanks for taking care of our fluffball! highly recommend if you need help with your pupper.
