“Jantzen is thoughtful and considerate and really put my mind at peace being away from my girls for an entire week. They are happy and healthy and I I know they were in the best care. Cheers!”
“Thank you Natalya for the great care you provided today for my fur baby. She was available last minute and showed up earlier to accommodate me so I was able to leave and get to work on time. She is awesome. I will definitely request Natalya again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, including my own and others! I currently have no pets, so I have the time and space to care for yours :) I mostly have experience with dogs, young/old/big/small, but I am open to sitting for other pets as well. Although I don’t have formal training experience, I do enjoy taking time to teach dogs tricks/commands you maybe working on. Majority of my camera roll is my family dog and dogs I see out and about, so you will receive plenty of pics of your happy pet :) I work 3 days a week, so I plan on doing this on my days off when I have the whole day available for your pet! I do not have a set schedule, but I will be sure to update ASAP. I do live in an apartment complex that includes an outdoor dog area that is available for playtime or potty breaks. I also love taking dogs for walks at the beach, parks, or trails!
About: I work throughout the week as a security professional so I'm not available all the time but when I am I'll be glad to look after your loved one's. Anything you need for your security such as i.d. or where I work I will provide so that you know your pet is safe with me. I'm doing this as a side job because I know I will enjoy doing this and my parents would tell me do something you love and get paid to do it so here I am. I look forward to watching your little kids I mean that's basically what they are and if you need to contact me feel free to do so. You can contact me anytime for any reason. I look forward to looking after your little ones. Currently work security since last year of February but I always make time to walk my dog or take him to the park. He does have lots of energy so we tend to play around a lot. I treat them just like my baby show them lots of love and play I’m very attentive to my dogs needs. I’m practically with my dog all day.
About: I have experience caring for dogs 🐶 of all personalities, including feeding 🍽️, walking 🚶♀️, playtime 🎾, cuddles 🐾, and companionship ❤️. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs 🐕🐕🦺, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅ to keep routines consistent. I love making every dog feel happy, safe, and loved ✨🐾. I’m a stay-at-home mom 🏡, so I’m home most of the day to give dogs 🐶 walks, playtime, and in-home care. I’m available weekdays and weekends 📅, and I keep my schedule flexible to fit your dog’s routine ✨. Your dog’s safety is my top priority! All walks are done in my safe, familiar neighborhood 🚶♀️, and my large backyard is fully fenced 🏡 for secure outdoor play. Dogs are never left unsupervised, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅.
About: I've been caring for my dogs since I was just a child and have always felt a deep connection to animals. I used to do dog walking for some time and have volunteered in a grooming location as well. You can be certain your furry friend will receive the best care with me! I currently stay at home with my son so I have a pretty open schedule. In the afternoon we go for walks in our neighborhood so we'd love to bring your pup along on a walk with us! We have a front and backyard which are both enclosed with a gate. It's pretty spacious so we'd definitely have a good time. At the moment I don't have a pet of my own- we recently lost our girl due to age at 15 years old. She was such a sweet girl and we loved her dearly. We hope to adopt another one in the near future, but for now I'd like to take care of other babies. You can be confident that your dog will be provided with my best attention. Maintaining his or her routine, such as feeding schedules, will also be my top priority.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was 12. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their pets to walk, bathe, and train them while they are on vacation. Im a college student so I have plenty of time to look after your pets :) I'm available for boarding any days. If you'd like weekdays, drop off will have to be after 4:00pm but also I can work with what works best for you! I have a fenced front yard and backyard and have two friendly schnauzers who are named Bella and Osito. Bella is 11 years and Osito is 3 years. They do not live with me but I have plenty experience with dog boarding since I have regular clients back home!
About: I am 30 years old, I was the owner of 2 dogs. Sadly one passed away. I have devoted myself to help other owners with their pets, over time I learned the characteristics of dogs, I am patients towards there character and am willing to become the pack leader to have an outcome for a submissive dog. I am in another app as well and I got to be with other dogs who can be so energetic. It is my mission to make them happy and comfortable. I want owners to feel proud of tbem wagging a tail at the end of the day. I hope to meet your dogs and I know they are special to you as they are to me as well. I am a full stay home mom and will always be attentive to your pup! On weekends I attend my church service but come back home to more cuddles! Every pet has freedom in my home and has access to my yard mainly to play and run. If they potty while playing that’s okay it is no problem but mainly they must be able to take potty walks every 4 hours with me on leash. I make sure to feed them and dedicate time to exercise and lots of cuddles! I also want to add, fees will be charged for constant peeing in the home and use of emergency female or male diaper for precaution. Every dog will always like to make their mark. But each dog has their own dominion.
About: I love spending time with animals whenever I get the time to do so, I can not wait to spend so much more time with them. I hope your best friend can trust me and not be afraid to play with me. 🐾 I’m currently in college for part-time from Tuesday to Wednesday I am available from 12 through 6pm and on Wednesday I take an afternoon class, I’m available from 9Am-1:30 3:50-6:50. Monday,Thursday Friday,Saturday,Sunday available anytime those are my days off. I would normally stay home with them and watch them. In the afternoon I would take them on a walk. If they are hungry or it’s there feeding time I would feed them and once an hour or two I would play with your pet for a little bit.
About: I have pet sat for families before, with most pets including their birds. I enjoy meeting and spending time with new animals. I do it on my free time, and even carry around food if I see an animal in need while I'm out and about. Hi! I'm a college student, who adores animals especially kitties! Just looking to spend time with your pets, while also making a little bit of money to help with school. My pets, Lucy my pup and Ash my kitty, are extremely loved and spoiled. They believe they really are little babies, it's adorable. I do lots of research on what is healthy for my pets, best foods, training, behavior patterns, etc.
“Nahage was a nice guy to communicate with, he was on time and took a photo for update:) It’s a huge relief to have someone I can trust with my Bailey. Thank you Nahage, will definitely book again!!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had two dogs that I helped care for throughout my childhood, which taught me the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. More recently, I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s cousin’s cats while house-sitting, including feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they were comfortable while their owner was away. I’ve also stayed overnight to watch my neighbors’ dogs, giving them attention, playtime, and companionship in their own home. In my current role as a caregiver for a young girl with autism, I also help care for the family’s home, including cleaning the cat’s litter box each week. My caregiving experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. While I may not have formal professional pet care experience yet, I take every responsibility seriously and understand how important it is to earn your trust. I will treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a flexible summer schedule with weekday mornings, evenings, and Sunday mornings available. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated as my graduate school schedule changes. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of individualized care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, communicate openly, ask questions when needed, and always prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: I love puppies and they love me! I have a calming energy that dogs gravitate toward & the love they show me, always brightens my day. I've never owned my own dog, but I've had so many puppy nieces & nephews that I've cared for throughout life. In my photos you'll see the day a random Husky(?) showed up to my door & we just hung out all day. I'm comfortable around dogs of all kinds. Looking forward to connecting. My time is quite flexible! I work from home as a full time creative entrepreneur. I’m up early & take daily walks (sometimes multiple a day). I live by great parks near Inglewood & can be active with a playful pup. I live on the ground level of my apartment building & have space for a crate or bed for the dog's comfort. We get great sunlight & normally keep doors open to create indoor/outdoor feel. Im also open to dog sitting in your home & am wonderful with following care instructions.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, each one of them are rescues and required a lot of time and patience. I’m experienced in dog trading as well as administering medication. It helps me stay active as well as helps gain more experience with animals. I work from home so it helps me get my daily vitamin d . I’ve personally crate trained my dogs, it’s helped me monitor them while I’m not home. I like to take them on long walks and have play dates to get their energy out as well as stimulate their mind.
“Tiara showed up and on time and was flexible when we asked to move the walk in earlier! Thank you so much for coming and working through the challenges of the walking a dog for the first time! Definitely would hire again for another walk”
About: I make sure every walk was filled with fun, fresh air, and lots of tail wags! Ensured dogs got the exercise and attention they needed while keeping them safe and happy. Send updates and cute pictures to owners to keep them connected. I’m more open during the week ( especially the mornings!) than the weekends. I have múltiple dogs on my own so I’m used to the routines. I maintain a structured feeding schedules, plenty of activity, and lots of mental stimulation through toys, enrichment games, and training. Keep a clean living space and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every day.
About: I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, including Great Danes and Chihuahuas. I currently care for my Chihuahua, Phoebe, who has anxiety, so I’m patient and understand the importance of making dogs feel safe and comfortable. I treat every dog with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I work a desk job 7am-3pm weekdays. Anytime after that I am free for pet sitting/ walking. I love all animals and I love getting my steps in. I can tailor my walks however the client prefers. I allow my dog Phoebe to sniff everything she wants but I’m careful of the surroundings because she is very small.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in West Athens is $25

Patty has been great with my dog Nova! My dog is a nervous girl around new people. Patty took the time to allow nova to slowly warm up to her on their initial visit, and even offered to come over later that night while I was home so she would be in a more comfortable environment if needed. Nova now loves seeing Patty and I’m overall very happy with the service!
Aileen came through for us again! We asked her to come an hour early since Kingsley was upset being closed in, and then asked her to come back later that day when plans changed, and she made it work both times. Kingsley still barks at first, but he's warming up to her faster each visit thanks to her patience (and lots of treats). We're so grateful to have someone so flexible and caring with our boys while we're away!🐶🐺🤎
Priscilla did a really good job walking my dog Happy twice a day while I was out of town attending a wedding. She made sure to communicate that Happy was in caring hands. Her attentiveness gave me peace of mind while I was traveling, and it allowed me to relax during my time away.
Mia had such an amazing walk! 🐾💕 She had a great time, got plenty of exercise, and came back happy. I also loved all the cute pictures that were taken during the walk. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches and makes sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having fun. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk or babysit their dog! 🐶❤️
We have a chow chow and have an hard time finding someone that our dog likes. She typically is not trusting of other humans and it takes a lot for her to trust people she doesn’t know, but with Daylin something was different she felt super comfortable around her and definitely saw some trust there. I was really shocked because as soon as we gave Daylin the leash she right away went with her and Daylin told us she did great and had a nice time, we were definitely happy and so was our pup. Aside from that Daylin is super nice and provided photos of our pup, a progress report and overall she was just really great. I am definitely happy we got Daylin. She’s awesome and our pup chica gives her two paws up!
We are so glad we came across Su! Before booking her services, we did a meet-and-greet, and Obi liked her from day one. Not only Obi, but all of our fur babies at home warmed up to her immediately. Su followed all of our instructions carefully, and what I appreciated most were the photo updates and regular check-ins while we were away. We are beyond happy with her service and truly can’t say enough great things about her. I was a little skeptical at first about trying the app, but I’m so glad I did. Obi absolutely fell in love with Su and already misses her. We definitely found our person, and we’re excited to book with her many more times in the future. Thank you so much, Suyoon!
Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!
My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.
