“Jason has been walking Buddy for three months. From day one, he has been incredibly professional, kind, and reliable. His communication is excellent—he’s always responsive, keeps us updated after every walk, and is quick to accommodate any changes in schedule. Most importantly, Jason takes the absolute best care of our dog, Buddy. It's clear he truly loves animals, and Buddy adores him in return. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and consistently excellent—Jason is your guy!”


“Lili was awesome! She agreed to a last minute booking and took my dobie mix Bean on a walk around the neighborhood. She responded very quickly which was much appreciated! Thank you so much Lili!”


“Our dog LOVED Alexandra and she sent us multiple pictures every day we were gone. I’d highly recommend her and would absolutely go with her again in the future.”


“Eric was great with my pups. They really enjoyed their walk! Our dogs are 70 and 95lbs and Eric had no problem walking both at the same time. I look forward to having him help with our dogs again.”


“Had a great experience with Tatum taking care of our dog while we were away for a couple of days. From the first meet and greet, to communicating throughout the booking, she was always responsive and professional! Even though our dog does not always immediately trust strangers, she instantly felt comfortable with Tatum, and it a relief knowing that our pup is in good hands! She will be the first sitter we reach out to next time we travel.”

“Peace is so happy every day that Meg is coming to walk and feed her! And I am even happier knowing that she's getting her cuddles and company while I'm at work. Thank you, Meg!”


“Bianca is amazing! We hired Bianca to walk our dog (Poppy) this summer, as our usual dog sitter was out of town. Bianca was very kind to do a meet-and-greet ahead of the scheduled walks so we could meet her and make sure Poppy would be comfortable with her. Poppy (who is a very picky senior dog) took to Bianca immediately. Bianca is reliable and an excellent communicator. She gave very thorough updates throughout and after each walk. It’s very clear she cares immensely about pets. I highly recommend Bianca!”


About: I’ve cared for my own dog since 2020 and have helped with my family’s pets for years—including dogs, cats, fish, and even bunnies. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and healthy. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving them attention, I treat every pet like family. I’m currently located in Ventura County but will be moving to the Los Angeles area soon to attend UCLA as a student. I have a flexible schedule and always make time for pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I communicate clearly and promptly, so you’ll always know if I’m available and when I can help. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and happiness. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, clean, and loving environment. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need to feel comfortable and safe.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and capabilities. I pay close attention to detail when it comes to medication, dietary restrictions, and feeding/walking times. Overall, I've grown up with a family with many cats and dogs over the years, so I love spending time with animals! I'm currently working a remote part-time job, so I have free time in the morning, around noon, in the evening, and at night. I also have some flexibility in my work schedule, so I can rearrange my day around clients' animals' needs! In my client's home, I care for their pets exactly as they've instructed me to. I feed, walk, and administer medications at the times directed and text clients if anything comes up or if I have questions. Depending on the pet's age, I will spend time playing with them as well.

“Sai was so great at taking care of my sweet, old dog! He fed her and gave her water and treats as I asked, and gave her tons of attention and great walks! Also, he took a ton of photos and provided great detail on each walk! I would absolutely recommend Sai.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, including my own pup of 7 years. Friends often rely on me to walk their dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I always make sure each pet feels safe and loved in my care. My years of hands-on experience, plus a genuine love for animals, help me build trust with both pets and their owners. I recently graduated from UCLA and am now living in LA, working full-time. Even with a busy weekday schedule, I make time for what I love, being around dogs! I'm available on weekends for pet care, whether that’s walks and playtime. Your pup will get plenty of attention and love during my free time. I always maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and follow any instructions or routines the owner provides to ensure your pet feels right at home and safe.

About: I’ve worked professionally as a pet caregiver for the past 2 years, and grew up with tons of pets and did local sittings/walking. I’ve cared for all ages, and different personalities. I’m capable of giving medicine, including injections. I currently have 2 kitties and then 3 back at home + a dog in san diego! I was working with a local dog walking/pet sitting company on the west side, but have since moved up north! I Do online school so I have free availability for the most part. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it the same way my own. I always prioritize making sure your pets and home are safe.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I had dogs growing up and love getting to petsit my friends’ dogs now whenever I can. I also love cats! The orange Manx in my photos is Jack, the love of my life. I knew him as a barn cat for 10 years before finally getting to adopt him in his senior years and spoil him rotten. He had some health issues and sadly passed away about 2 years ago. I can’t have any pets in my current apartment, but I love cat and dog sitting whenever I can! I also have a horse named Princess back home in Virginia (also in my photos). I’ve been around horses since early childhood and grew up working at various barns. I continued working as barn staff, camp counselor, and horseback riding instructor until I was about 25. In the real world, I’m a grad student at UCLA working towards a PhD in Neuroscience. Due to ongoing nationwide funding cuts related to scientific research, I am currently between labs at UCLA. So my schedule is very flexible right now. I will not be bringing clients’ pets to my apartment. At clients’ houses, I will follow client instructions and make sure to keep pets leashed, fenced-in, crated, etc. I will not be bringing other animals or people to clients’ homes and will be sure to follow all safety and security protocols (eg locking doors, closing gates, keeping personal information confidential, etc).

About: I have a young pitbull lab mix in my home town. I’ve trained him, walked, and taken care of him and occasionally his siblings on many occasions over the past 3 years. I was in LA doing this for a couple people. Since moved to NY. I am really in it to hang out with some dogs since I miss mine at home. I am mainly looking for weekend walks. If you need dog sitting over the weekend, that can be arranged for most weekends. Unfortunately I have a pretty demanding FT job during the week that makes it difficult for weekday care. My apartment does not allow for pets. However, I will follow your instructions to a tee. I pay close attention to details and care for pets.

I am always attentive what they do and just love dogs so much! I have a crate for my visitor dogs at home and my doormen are super friendly to dogs and my neighborhoods is awesome to walk with dogs

Ashley S.
“Ashley is by far the ONLY person I trust my animals to when I'm away! She is so attentive and caring and makes sure that all of my high-maintenance fur and scale babies are well looked after. I have two cats that are both on special medication and medicated food that they need daily- Ashley always makes sure they get their meds consistently and on time. I also have a few exotic animals including reptiles and some fish, and I know that when I'm away, Ashley will keep a keen eye on all of their parameters including heating, cooling, humidity, filtration, etc. On top of that, Ashley is a true animal lover who will spend quality time playing with and snuggling my cats when they're missing their mom. I have a few pet cams in my apartment, but when I'm out of town, I almost never check them because I know Ashley has my back. All in all I could not recommend her more! She is a fantastic sitter and a genuinely kind and thoughtful person who will ensure your babies have everything they need!”

Cara H.
“Cara is the best! She took care of my senior pup Riley over the last couple of years of her life and Cara was such a good caregiver. Walks while Riley was able but also all of the other extra care she needed as she aged. Cara is friendly, enthusiastic and professional. Best of all, I completely trusted having her in my home while I was away. I wouldn’t think twice about giving her my key or alarm code. I highly recommend her for dog walking, dog and house sitting❤️”

Ella B.
“Ella took care of our Yorkie and five cats while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was incredibly attentive, loving, and responsible with each of them. Our pets were happy, calm, and well cared for when we got home. She sent us updates and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Highly recommend her!”


Victoria T.
“Victoria housesat and took wonderful care of my fur baby while I was away. She communicated often and sent pics and videos that reassured me my elderly kitty was in good hands with plenty of playtime. My cat requires daily oral dosing of meds but it wasn't an issue at all. She handled it like a pro :) Victoria is a smart, thoughtful, and terrific pet sitter. She has the biggest heart for animals and it shows in her care. When I got back, I felt like my cat looked healthier and happier than ever! She didn't even yell at me so that's how I know she truly was happy with Victoria :) Absolutely recommend!”

He comes prepared for any weather conditions and handles everything with professionalism and care. We feel completely confident trusting him with our dogs.”

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.

I can’t recommend Therese enough! She really takes the time to understand each individual dog’s behavior and needs. One of my dogs is quite reactive and selective, and Therese handled her with so much patience, skill, and care. She took the time to learn what made my dog feel safe and adjusted her approach accordingly. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing she was in such capable hands. She also is a very clear and consistent communicator. Both of my dogs absolutely love her, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and incredibly thoughtful with animals, Therese is it!

Had a great experience with Tatum taking care of our dog while we were away for a couple of days. From the first meet and greet, to communicating throughout the booking, she was always responsive and professional! Even though our dog does not always immediately trust strangers, she instantly felt comfortable with Tatum, and it a relief knowing that our pup is in good hands! She will be the first sitter we reach out to next time we travel.
