About: I grew up with dogs in the home all my life, including an extra large lab mix of my own who lived to be 14 years old (I still miss her). I have helped friends and family teach their dogs better behavior including how to have a productive walk and eliminating food agression. I currently have 2 medium dogs (a boy and a girl) I adopted from families who couldnt care for them anymore, and two cats (both girls). I only teach on Wednesdays in Santa Monica, otherwise I have the ability to be home all day for plenty of attention and walks. I have two dogs already, so caring for animals is part of my lifestyle already. My home is spacious and located in a neighborhood which has a lot of space to walk around. I am a very alert person when it comes to dogs' behavior and their body language so that I can ensure they are comfortable, and am able to remove them from a situation that might cause them to react negatively. There is plenty of water available and dogs get let out 3-4 times a day including a nice walk.
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Sarah did a really great job and I can tell she loves animals! She kept me informed and put my mind at ease. We will definitely want to have her pet sit for us in the future!”
“Tresha was Awesome! She’s responsive! On time! Mellow with the pups. She sat our three dogs while we were away for the day throwing our sons party. Appreciate Tresha booking with us on such short notice.”
“Elaine is an angel on earth!! We have a pitbull who is hyper active, anxiety-ridden, and who we are very protective of!! We sheltered our dog to the point that we didn’t trust anyone near him- even though he is one of the funnest, most loving, and such a good boy. We didn’t trust anyone to be able to care for him the way we could..so we missed out on a lot. Enter, Elaine!! The first time she met him she was so calm, cool and collected. Especially when you meet a pit, most get a little suspicious but she never hesitated- he loved her and was very comfortable with her. We decided to give it a go!! Elaine followed all of our instructions to a T. She went above and beyond by playing with him and letting him be himself. She sent the cutest little updates of him and made sure to tell me everything about their day!! We could not be more grateful to Elaine and can’t wait for her to sit him again. I could not recommend her more!!”
“Laura is fantastic! I will absolutely book with her again! Tuddy loved her! and she sent updates all day long ! it was great! def hire her to help you with your pet sitting needs!”
“We have a senior dog (almost 15 years old) who is pretty simple to take care of, but has a very specific routine - medication and a certain feeding schedule. Kristina took photos of the medication, and food amounts she gave our pup as well as photos of the walks. Not to mention she left our house as we would have - clean! She did great with our last minute request for house sitting. Thank you Kristina!”
“Great sitter! Jackson was so communicative, and he was a pleasure to have taking care of my fur babies. Professional and attentive, I'm grateful for the help. My animals loved him, thank you so much, highly recommend!”
“Jordan took great care of our 13-year old dog Max and our house while she stayed here over the weekend. We greatly appreciated the updates and photos that she provided throughout her stay. Jordan was sweet and caring with our pup and I am sure that he got lots of cuddles and love.”
“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“Kate was very friendly and accommodating and took great care to follow directions and send text and photo confirmation that the kitties were well cared for. She was pleasant and service oriented, a great pet sitting experience!”
“Jay was absolutely wonderful! He knows dogs so well and so clearly loves them. He walked my husky mix for an hour in the mornings and really got her energy out. And even though she was anxious the first day we were gone, he came up with a brilliant way to get her to eat all her food that I’m definitely going to try myself. Would definitely love him to sit for us again!”
“Maria was great when she watched our baby! She sent a ton of pictures and checked in a lot. She was even extremely flexible when we were running a little behind schedule. She’s watched our girl multiple times and would definitely have her pet sit again!”
“Katherine did a fantastic job dog sitting and house sitting for us! The dogs were happy and the house was in great shape when we returned. You can feel comfortable and confident when you leave your pups and your home in her hands. We will definitely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and real-life experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own pets, so I understand daily routines, feeding, playtime, and comfort needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family and friends, caring for animals of different ages and personalities, including seniors, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student so I am unable to do regular job schedules but pet care is way more accessible to me and plus it would actually be enjoyable! Although for house sitting on certain days I can be there for a couple of hours but not overnight. I provide attentive check-ins and in-home daycare by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space, give them plenty of affection, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve raised animals all my life. I grew up on a farm, where we cared for cattle, chickens, and had plenty of cats and dogs. I have two senior pets now and have raised them from puppy/kittenhood. I have experience on house training puppies as well as light obedience training. My schedule is currently wide open! I am looking for full time employment, so things will eventually change. I will update things when the time comes! I’m happy to give pets medications and lots of cuddles and play time. I can send in regular updates, if requested. I’m good for short walks or long walks!
“Max loved his time with Sarah. She did a great job of keeping him in his routine and administering his meds. I had frequent pictures and communication from her which I appreciated. We will definitely work with Sarah again.”

Mahima was fantastic! If I could leave more than five stars I would. She is detail oriented, and followed all my instructions perfectly. I was worried about my reactive boy. But she handled him beautifully, and is very confident in her approach. She sent many videos of daily activities, ensuring my furry friend was well taken care of. If she was unclear, she didn't hesitate to ask. She left my house immaculate. Mahima is extremely kind and respectful, and a lovely human being. I highly recommend her. Sparky and I both say THANK YOU Mahima!
Tresha went above and beyond! She watched my parents dogs, Cassie & Axel, and they immediately warmed up to her. Tresha was patient with Axel at our meet and greet since he can be timid, but day one he was on her like Velcro! She took them on walks, and spoiled them with lots of sunning, and cuddles. My mom’s plans changed unexpectedly due to a family matter and Tresha accommodated without complaints. She kept in touch and the house was just as clean (or cleaner) than we left it! We will definitely have Tresha watch our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy Rover!
Simply can't recommend Alex enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for my boyfriend and me, helping with backup care for our dog, Mischa, who just went through TPLO surgery. From the very beginning, Alex has been incredibly attentive, kind, and reliable. Mischa (and our other animals too) warmed up to her instantly, which immediately put us at ease. Alex has gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, safe, and happy—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing extra love and cuddles during recovery. Her communication is excellent with regular check ins throughout the day, which has been a huge comfort during this stressful time. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can truly trust with our fur babies. If you’re looking for a compassionate, responsible, and loving caregiver for your dog, Alex is absolutely the one!
Velvet is AMAZING!!! She is professional, prompt, and a joy to work with. Most of all, she took the best care of our two dogs. Velvet was especially caring for our 15 year old baby who needs extra TLC and patience. I highly recommend Velvet!!!!!!! I hope she will come back to watch our dogs and/or cats in the future.
I sincerely appreciate when an individual sticks to their word and is timely; ESPECIALLY when it comes to my fur baby Butta n my Gpup Chip. Altho I was out of town for Jason’s arrival, it appears everything went smoothly! I am confidently and comfortably looking forward to my next trip bc I have Jason booked again! THANK YOU! & glad my daughter came home early! See ya soon💯
Having Samantha sit for us has been so wonderful! She takes such sweet care of our dog Gemma and the house is always in beautiful shape when we return. She is very responsive and sends the best photos of their time together. Highly recommend her and we are very grateful!
Andrew is so good to our pup. He is incredibly attentive and just so enthusiastic about being with him and caring for him. This was the first time we left our puppy and we felt so much better knowing that Andrew was the one caring for him. We got lots of pictures and updates and Fred had the time of his life hanging out with Andrew. Would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone needing extra help and love for their pup.
Butt’a liked Mario at our meet n greet, that’s huge for me. At the sitting Butt’a got to go on a nice walk and I appreciate the walking n feedback! Butt’a LOVES to walk around the neighborhood! I found Mario responsive, responsible and accountable, these are importance to me!
