“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Yessica took amazing care of both our young and elderly Labradors while we were away. Our older pup had some health concerns leading up to the trip, and she gave us such peace of mind with her gentle attention and regular updates. She walked them daily, took them on little adventures, and kept us in the loop with thoughtful messages and photos. We came home to two very happy dogs relaxing in front some dog cartoons! Truly grateful for the care and love she gave them.”
“Boba and I adore Noemi. She is by far one of the best pet sitters out there, and our #1 choice. She’s extremely caring and attentive to Boba’s need—which says a lot because he is a special needs dog, follows instructions well, asks clarifying questions when she needs to, communicates regularly, and is overall a very pleasant, respectful, trustworthy person. I highly recommend Noemi.”
“Bob is a truly dog whisperer and a dog lover! Peanut is very picky and can be really tough sometimes but they quite got a long pretty quick. Highly recommend! I will definitely rebook”
“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”
About: I have experience caring for all sorts of pets including big and small dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. I love being around animals and have a great understanding of what they might be telling us through body language and visual cues. I grew up with no less than 3 dogs in the house at a time. Caring for neighborhood pets, nanny family’s pets and friend’s pets. Although I feel comfortable around pets, my approach is always calm, cautious and respectful. I will make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and safe. I am available weekdays in the early afternoon and some weekends. I have a full time job that finishes early in the day and need some extra income and something nice to do in my free time. I always care for clients pets based off of information I gather ahead of time about the pet as well as visual cues that the pet is signaling. My approach is always observant, calm and respectful of the pet’s needs.
“Bethany is a great sitter. She was great about communicating how our dog was doing and sent adorable photos of our boy! She is a real animal lover, communicates clearly and is respectful of your home, a perfect set of traits for someone who is staying in your home and caring for a treasured family member!”
“Cody was wonderful! He followed all of our specific house-sitting and pet care instructions perfectly. We really appreciated how attentive and respectful he was of our home, and he sent regular updates and photos so we always felt at ease. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for when we returned. Highly recommend Cody — we’d absolutely book him again!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life -- I grew up with dogs, have had two dogs as an adult, have fostered 10 or so dogs, and dogsit for friends all the time. I even have a god-dog. I love caring for cats as well, and snakes and other reptiles. I'm very intuitive with animals and will attune to your pet's needs fully. I take their inner worlds seriously and do as much as I can to give them fun, safety, and comfort. My work hours are flexible and mostly from home, so I can work around your pet's needs. I'm happy to provide drop-ins and walks mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to play with your dog, provide treats and belly rubs, walks long or short, and crate them if you’d like. I'm now taking select boarding clients as well!

About: Hi, my name is Angie! I love animals like my blood relatives and I would love to be your next fur baby caretaker! I've lived in a house with 3 dogs for my entire life, and love to play, walk, relax, and explore with them. Since I was 8 I've been actively taking care of pups (feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after them), so I'm definitely confident with taking care of dogs. My earliest memories were with a Husky, Doberman mix, and Super-mutt, and then I grew up with my GSP, Australian Shepherd, and Chi-Poo (who is now the happiest 14-year-old old lady). In college I also fostered cats – a sibling duo I took care of for 6 months, as well as a litter of 6 kittens – so I love to be with both dogs and cats alike, and know how to take care of both sweet creatures :) I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting, and have availability throughout the week (with only Sunday afternoons fully blocked off). I can take care of small and big dogs alike, and love to be active – so no amount of energy is too much for me! I have taken care of dogs from 6 weeks to 14 years, and cats from 2 weeks to 6 years old. I just graduated from USC, and I'm very responsible and know how to look after and take care of our precious pets. Feel free to reach out today with any questions about future care, and I look forward to becoming your pet's best friend! I'm free for walking throughout the week, and am very flexible with my work schedule since I'm a figure skating teacher. Sundays I am unavailable from 11AM-4PM, but I am otherwise available to take care of your pets or board for a period of time. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to give, and having experience with both old and young pets, I adapt to energy levels very quickly and know how to build connections and trust with animals. I am very clean and responsible, and if any mess is made I clean it right up. I can find a way to make even the smallest space a wonderland for pets, and am confident that I can keep them entertained until their humans return.
About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.
“Ninon is our favorite dog watcher so much that we booked her twice in the month! I honestly think my dog prefers her to us. She keeps us posted all throughout and more than anything, I feel totally safe with her watching our family member.”
“The night before I had to leave one of our dogs got sick and Sarah did an amazing job taking care of him and our house! We would absolutely use Sarah again, highly recommend!!”
About: Hello! I am a retired woman looking for house and pet sitting gigs to keep me busy. I can do short or long term stays and have no other commitments, which means I can be at your home full time. I can water plants, get mail and do other basic home chores as well! Truly love pets of all kinds. I'm currently available full time every day of the week! I have a very flexible schedule and can accomodate whatever works best for you. I will monitor your pets closely and give them all the attention, love and care they deserve! I will make sure your pet has all the things they need in order to thrive while you are away.
“Emily is amazing! They took such good care of my 2 kitties as well as my home, would 100% book them again :) Super communicative and I felt at ease leaving everything in their hands, most importantly, my kitties were so comfy and relaxed when I got home.”

Ruby was awesome with our two fur babies Noah and Miso. She came by to meet us all in advance and our pups took to her right away. She followed our outline for the day to a T and communicated with us throughout our trip and sent cute photos. She is very responsible and also has a very sweet demeanor that the dogs loved. My hubby and I highly recommmend her.
Yessica was an excellent house/dog sitter for our two little doggies who can get anxious and do best when they get to stay at the house. She gave great two-to-three times a day updates along with pictures and videos - showing how happy and relaxed the dogs were with her! Yessica was very respectful of our house and left everything in pristine condition. This was our first time using her, but we will definitely be using her again for our overnight trips.
Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!
We’ve been utilizing Jennifer to housesit and watch our dogs while we’re out of town for years! Between a high energy German Shepard and fragile old Chihuahua mix, she manages to provide for both with ease and lots of love and they seem so happy and at peace when we return. Shes a great communicator and keeps our house looking just like we left it. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all ages, breeds, needs.
We are so lucky to have found Beta!! They were able to make a connection with our anxious pup right away and totally put us at ease. They were kind, communicative, and left our apartment in perfect condition. Through the pictures Beta sent, we could tell that our pup was well taken care of and happy. We look forward to working with Beta again and wholeheartedly recommend them!!
Megan was great with our labradoodle Hunter. She was communicative from our first meeting to caring for our dog, including plenty of photos during their time. It's nice to have a reliable, friendly, trustworthy person available to care for our guy. Thanks Megan!
Alejandra was amazing with my pets! She house sat for us while we were away and she kept me updated multiple times throughout the day. She left our place super clean and tidy and the animals were happy and well taken care of! Will definitely be using her again in the future :)
As an owner of a breed (Belgian Malinois) that comes with a little higher attention and demand, it was such a relief to find Jarrod! He was incredibly attentive to our instructions, and was great with sharing updates while we were away. He took care of her and our home like they were his own, and as a result I felt like I could relax and not worry while away. Highly recommend!
Lilit was wonderful with Mona! Mona was a little upset and moody at first because she missed me and didn’t expect Lilit to be the one returning after I had left for the weekend. But Lilit was communicative and was so patient with Mona and it ended up settling. Would book with Lilit again!
We can’t say enough good things about Alex! He spent the weekend taking care of our crew, including our paralyzed dog Laika who requires special care. Alex approached everything with such a positive attitude and a genuine willingness to learn. He was flexible when our return flight was delayed by several hours, which was a huge relief. He not only took wonderful care of our animals (who clearly loved having him around) but also went above and beyond in looking after our home, leaving it in better shape than when we left. The peace of mind we had knowing both our house and pets were in such capable hands was truly invaluable. We’re so grateful for Alex’s care and commitment, and we would 100% book with him again!
Hannah and Kristal were wonderful sitters! Going away and knowing your furry family members and your home are safe and cared for is such a relief, and Hannah and Kristal definitely made us feel confident and secure that would be the case. And they made our shy, skittish dog feel at ease, which is no easy feat! Thank you, Hannah and Kristal!
