Pet Sitting West Los Angeles

About: While I’m new to Rover and building my profile, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I make communication a priority and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Growing up, I also helped at a shelter with my mom, which gave me early experience working with animals of different temperaments and needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, especially hiking. I used to take my last dog, Loulou, on adventures with me, and I would love to have a furry companion to explore nature with. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. I’m excited to earn the trust of both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving care every time. I’m also flexible with location and can help with pick-up and drop-off if that makes things easier. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m consistently available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and often on weekends, and I can plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. On the days I’m available, I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and companionship. I enjoy being active, so incorporating walks or outdoor time into my day feels very natural to me. I’m also attentive to each pet’s routine and will adjust my schedule to match their usual habits as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets, I always focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific preferences or habits the pet has. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, along with a safe space to rest. I’m attentive to their behavior and mood to ensure they’re happy and not stressed.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I always took care of my friends and family dogs. I have always had a special relationship with each individual pup, and I would love to get to know all the quirks and needs of your precious dog(s). My family’s dog is named Cali, and she is truly my best friend. She is in New York now, so I cannot see her as much and am needing some doggy attention from others in the mean time. I know what it is like to feel nerves leaving your dog and making sure they feel safe and happy, and I hope to create that same environment for your dog. I am a post college graduate who majored in social work, and I have always had a need to care for others. My most recent experience is spending the past two months house sitting for 3 amazing dogs. One was elderly and the others were two big puppies. I hope to continue this summer having fun with new fluffy friends and making sure you can enjoy any vacation, obligations, or other activities knowing your loved ones are in good hands. I am currently doing a gap year before I head to do my master’s degree in New York City. That means I have loads of flexible time to perform pet care and work on your time! I expect to know at least 3 days before. Making sure pets are understood and supported is my biggest priority. Being in a new environment or with a new person is scary and overwhelming. It’s important for me to understand their needs and big feelings before putting them in different situations. I treat everyone’s dog like my own-meaning loads to attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, talks, and treats. It’s important for dogs to not just be taken care of at the bare minimum-but to be enriched, active, and engaged when I am around.

About: I’ve personally had many dogs and cats throughout both my childhood and now adulthood and consider them my family. I’m patient, kind, caring and very good with any and all special care needs for younger or older pets. I’m currently working part time and remotely from my home so I have a lot of time and flexibility / openings daily as may be needed. I have a fenced yard in a nice, safe neighborhood with one male terrier mix dog and one long haired domestic long hair cat. I work remotely so am home with my pets and any additional friends I may meet who come by! Very animal safe!

“Talia was so amazing with my dog. During her drop-in visit, she was super communicative and sent plenty of updates and photos which I really appreciated. It was so nice to see how happy and comfortable my dog was with her. My dog clearly adored her and was happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d trust Talia to watch my dog anytime and I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been around and lived with animals since I was born. I’ve never spent a period of my life without a dog in my care. I also have extensive experience caring for cats as well. I take not just the love and care of animals seriously but also training. I believe that a pet deserves to feel secure, safe and structured in life and that’s why I’m not just there to provide pets and food but also structured walks, mental stimulation and more. I have a Shetland sheepdog, so I understand the value in being more than just a caregiver to an animal. I work from home so I have the flexibility to stop by and walk your pet or care for them throughout the day. I also am done with work at 2 pm every day so my afternoons and evenings are very open. I have my own dog so I can’t spend every moment with your pet or at your house but I am able to be there consistently. I know first-hand just how scary it can be to leave your pet (your baby!) with someone else because of my unyielding love for animals and my personal attachment to the importance of being reliable, communicative and kind to pets in my care, you will never have to worry that your baby is in safe hands. I care for pets but not only being reliable and caring when it comes to affection, feeding and more but I try to be very structured with my care depending on the pet. For many dogs, that looks like walks every few hours, offering brain games like puzzles and trick training and setting them up for a relaxed and calm environment when they return home.

About: From a young age, I have always had a strong affection and love towards dogs, always wanting to volunteer at local shelters, visit extended family’s houses with a prime intention of hanging out with their pet, doggysit close friends’ pups when they go out of town, or foster dogs giving them a break from cage life and trying to help them get adopted. I am an active, loving and caring dog sitter who loves giving them all the attention and love they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities, ages and sizes, treating every dog like it's my own and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away! I'm currently back home from college for holiday break, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week! I am most ideally available in the early afternoons between 11am-2pm but I can definitely work around different schedules that work best for you and your pup! I have a large, fenced backyard with lots of grass and space for your pup to run around in or just sunbathe in! Whether in my home or yours, I am very attentive to caring for each dog and their individual needs with a goal to always to keep them happy, healthy and stress-free!

“We’ve been using Victoria for cat sitting for a long time now and she’s been able to help us even when one of our cats has had to start taking medication. We highly recommend her!”

“I’ve trusted Jenn with my doodle, and I truly couldn’t recommend her more! Doodles are full of energy, need lots of attention, and can be a handful at times, but Jenn is incredibly patient, loving, and attentive. She treated my dog like one of her own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such great hands. She kept me updated, was reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my doodle was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who genuinely loves animals, Jenn is an amazing choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“Kaylee looked after my cat recently and was very reliable. She was responsive to messages, arrived during the agreed-upon windows, and followed the written instructions I provided.”

Lilly B.

“We have a fearful senior rescue dog with a complicated history, and Liz has been great about doing an initial meet-and-great and then an extended drop-in to spend time with our dog alone. She very much understands how to interact with a fearful dog who needs time to feel trusting. Her experience as the guardian of a rescue dog herself definitely comes into play. She was punctual, cheerful, and generous-minded, and we really appreciate her willingness to work with Penny! We will definitely use her again.”

About: Please read until the end :) I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog at 11. It was a 2 year old Pomeranian. And a year later we brought home another, this time a senior. Having two dogs that young meant I had to show my parents that I was responsible. So I learned take care of them myself, from baths to keeping up with their vaccines. Some of my favorite memories are just walking them to the park or running around the house playing chase until I was completely drenched in sweat. Now I have the most adorable 4 year old kitty I adopted as a kitten, and she completely changed my mind about cats! I really do love both dogs and cats equally. Honestly, in another life I’d probably be a vet or working with wildlife, but for now I just genuinely love taking care of (mostly non-marine) animals and treating them like my own. Please note the following: Drop-offs and pick-ups are accepted between 6:30 AM – 9:00 PM. I can only host up to 1 furry visitor at a time. Please ignore the additional pet rates on my Rover profile. Booking Timeframes Daycare (up to 12 hours): - Daycare includes up to 12 hours of care. - Example: 7AM drop-off → 7PM pick-up - Latest pick-up is 9PM Boarding (24-hour period): - Boarding covers a full 24-hour period from drop-off time. Extended stays beyond the included time may incur additional fees. - Daycare exceeding 12 hours may be charged as extended care - Boarding exceeding 24 hours may incur a late pick-up fee I normally work from home. So I am almost always available to play and spend time with your furry babies! I am also pretty active and love going on a run/taking walks to nearby parks. I live in an apartment with a spacious, gated yard. I also have a very social cat who gets along well with both dogs and cats. I’ve previously pet sat for friends’ dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with managing multiple pets in the home. If needed, I can keep my cat in my room for the duration of your pet’s stay to make sure your pet has a comfortable, low stress environment.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and connecting with animals of all kinds is my greatest joy. Rescued is my favourite breed, and I specialize in watching senior pets and special needs pets. I have experience with seniors who require medications and particular care, as well as special needs, including but not limited to blind, deaf, and three-legged pets. I have a flexible work schedule and when I’m not at work, I’m a huge homebody and live alone, so your pet will get tons of one-on-one attention and love. I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own, and I only watch one dog at a time, so if your pet needs to be the sole pet, then we are a perfect fit. I do have one sweet senior guinea pig; she can be secured in another room if you’re worried about your pet bothering her. I absolutely love watching small pets as well and have tons of experience with guinea pigs. Please note that I currently work hybrid and go into work 2-3x a week. However I only have to be there from 10-3, so your pet would only be alone for a max of five hours. Luckily my work is super flexible, so if I need to adjust my hours or office days for your pet, please let me know and I can adjust my schedule. My office is also super dog friendly, if you think they’d like to come with me! My place is very quiet; I live alone and never have people over, and I’m home most of the time, so I’m great for anxious or shy pets. I also only board one dog at a time, so your pet will get 100% of my attention, which is also great for shy and nervous dogs who don’t do well with other dogs. (If you have two dogs I’m happy to watch them together, I just don’t watch dogs from different families at once.) I don’t have a backyard, but I do have a spacious balcony for your dog to sunbathe. I’m on the top floor and my building has an elevator, which is ideal for senior and special needs pups. Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment, from the couch to my bed, my home is their home.

About: I greatly enjoy my work in the company of dogs, and making their day better. I have experience with dogs big and small, and have experience with meds and diapers. I'm a dog sitter and walker of 5 years. I make sure to provide treats, grooming, play time and to make feedings varied, fresh and new. I really enjoy spending time with dogs as a dog sitter and walker. I make sure that pets are feeling happy and will make sure to step around them, if they do not like visitors that much. I'm pretty good at reading a pet's vibe.

“Molly was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. She took great photos and fun (and detailed) notes that helped relieve some of our anxiety at being apart from our babies. I left a detailed to-do list for her as well and she followed it perfectly. We would certainly book with her again!”

“Alyssa was amazing! Our cat tends to be anxious when we leave but she seemed calmer than usual when we got back. Alyssa was communicative and asked all the right questions when she came over to meet Ellie. Thanks, Alyssa!”

Alexa N.

“Great sitters! They took wonderful care of our dog and even spent more time with him in the afternoon and took him on long walks. Would 100% recommend and will book again in the future.”

Allison F.

“Laura is amazing! She stepped in super last minute to take care of my boy when my friend flaked on me WHILE I was out of town. Laura is kind, trustworthy, and very patient. My dog is a bit on the shyer side and she seemed to know exactly what to do on how to gain his trust based on intuition and experience. I can’t recommend her enough and will be hiring her in the future. Thank you again, Laura! 🩷✨”

Claire M.

“Wendy was great! She had been super commutative from the moment we confirmed our booking with her and continued being so throughout her drop-in visits. She took initiative with offering help as she observed the changing needs of our kitties. We really appreciate her help!”

“Chelsea is fantastic! You can tell that she truly loves animals. She is very communicative. She sends a ton of pictures and my puppy always seems so happy after the day he spends with her. We have been so lucky to have her helping us with our three month old Golden. Thank you Chelsea!!!”

Eliza S.

“It was so great meeting Shontel. She asked all the right questions that showed me she really cared about getting to know if my puppy. Her gentle and calm demeanor was much appreciated. She understood exactly when to pull back when my Moon was becoming overwhelmed. Listened to learn more about him and cared to know if she’d be best for him. We absolutely plan on booking her again!”
