She was on time every day and our 2 dogs just jumped in her car and loved their walks, especially since I had pulled a hamstring and couldn't take them on walks myself!

About: I have dogs at home and have watched and walked family members dogs and friends since I was little. I also recently have fostered a few dogs with friends short term! I am a fitness instructor and student that will be graduating in may! I love spending time outside so would love to do that with a fun buddy. I work in the mornings and usually have the rest of my day open! I live in a safe neighborhood in an apartment with a balcony for some quick fresh air. No other animals are here but if they would like to play my neighbors have friendly dogs we can play with!

“Aja is a gem. Incredibly kind, reliable, and responsible. Would not hesitate to book her for any of my pet care needs!”


About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with my childhood dog, Roxy, and later caring for Koko for 10 years, I’ve gained firsthand experience in all aspects of dog care—from daily walks and feeding to administering medication and post-surgery care. I’ve also looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs whenever needed, always ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I take every responsibility seriously—making sure they get enough walks and exercise, are fed properly, and receive lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every dog feel at home by providing a calm and loving space for them. I’d love to care for your baby as if they were my own! 🩷🐾 Caring for pets fits easily into my routine because I love animals and making sure all their needs are met🫶🏻 I have full availability from home for walks, feeding, snuggles, playtime, etc., and they will have my undivided attention. Whether they are shy, playful, or lazy they can be they please in my space! They can freely roam around, nap wherever, and be comfortable. My apartment is cozy, clean, and calm🫶🏻 I walk dogs outside in front of the entrance of my building lobby and can take them on walks too around the neighborhood as well:) Safety is super important to me both inside and outside!!

About: I'm on the same wavelength with animals: saved, took care of them, loved - from puppies to parrots. Each ponytail left a trace in my heart. I recently moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles and have a lot of free time to spend with furry friends and help other pet’s parents! I spend a lot of time with my dogs and often take them for walks to the ocean or to the dog park. I also love to run and would be happy to take your dogs for a run.

“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: Hi! I'm Annalise, a college student looking to take care of furry friends for my study breaks!

I am available for walks 10:30am-1pm and after 3pm weekdays (except Wednesday), and most weekends are good for house sitting AND walks! I am very gentle with all animals and have worked with a wide variety of behaviors in dogs, so I am comfortable caring for your pups in any way you see fit. I am happy to learn about your dogs and all their cute quirks! I also like to stay clean and organized, so I won't leave any messes.

About: When I was a young girl, I begged my parents for a dog. Eventually, after being repeatedly turned down, I turned toward the possibility of a cat, and then a rabbit, and finally, a tortoise. Though I did eventually get a tortoise, my desire to have a dog never went away. To fill this void within me, and also that within my two younger sisters, we started to watch, take care of, and love the pets of our neighbors and friends. I began pet-sitting professionally at about twelve years old, and since then, I have established connections with many clients and their pets. From dogs and cats to guinea pigs, bunnies, and insects, I am thoroughly skilled in taking good, quality care of animals. This skill stems from my deep love for animals and creatures of all sorts. My clients, of whom I consider some of my closest friends, continually refer to me as caring, responsible, flexible, dependable, and thoughtful. I did end up getting a dog when I was fourteen years old, and that day (Christmas Eve) changed my life. My dog--my best friend--means the world to me. Even though I have always been dedicated to providing clients with the best pet-care, getting a dog of my own (and later, FOUR cats) opened my eyes in a multitude of ways. If ever my family and I need to take a holiday or daytrip, we always make sure to find the best care for my dog, Gus. That said, my goal and desire is to provide the exact same level of love, care, and concern for other people's animals, as that is exactly what I would want for mine. (Sadly, upon moving to LA for school, I had to leave my dog at home; but I'm sure I will find lots of love from dogs on Rover!) I have experience watching dogs and cats of a variety of breeds, ages, sizes, and demeanors. Whether you would prefer I stop by a couple of times per day, or stay overnight with your pet, I am able and happy to do so. As a pet-sitter, it is my job to accommodate your needs! As a full-time college student at UCLA working multiple jobs, I have a busy schedule to maintain. However, this does not prohibit me in any way from providing your animal(s) with loving, quality care, as this is a top priority to me. Though Monday through Thursday I am in class and work most of the day, I do have time to stop by your house to feed, walk, and provide your animal with some love early in the morning and again in the evening. However, I am most available on weekends, Friday through Sunday, all day. I am happy to provide whatever level of care your pet needs, whether that's a couple stop-bys throughout the day, overnight care, or a one-time visit. Anyone who has been pet-sitting for long knows that taking care of an animal also means taking care of their HOME, which is the client's home as well. That said, pet-sitting is a multi-aspect job, meaning that the pet-sitter must care for the well-being and safety of both the animal(s) AND the home. As an experienced pet-sitter, I have pet/house-sat for couples, families, and individuals living in all kinds of residences--apartments, townhouses, condos, suburban/rural homes, mansions, and more. Therefore, I am confident in my ability to protect, maintain, and care for your animals regardless of where you live. Communicate with me about what exact procedures your home requires in order to keep it safe, and there is no doubt I will take excellent care of it and your pets (also your plants, mail, garbages, etc.!).

About: I have 4 pets at home, two cats and two dogs. On top of taking care of these animals, we hav fostered dogs of all ages for 7+ years now. Many of these foster dogs come from stray and abandoned backgrounds, so we have to work with dogs of all demeanors. I love spending time with these animals and making each one feel appreciated and loved. I'm currently working part time, so I will be free some week days and most weekends. I have flexible hours and hope to fill in my free time with pet care. I care for pets in others' homes by giving them lots of attention and making sure they have all they need. When walking dogs, I take caution when crossing roads and holding tightly to the leash, especially when other dogs or people pass by.

18. Brinn W.

It turned out we had a lot in common- she looks like my daughter, her sister goes to school with my son, family in Utah, King Charles Spaniel at home (my dog is half King Charles), etc. I'm here in Sacramento and was sad to see her go to UCLA. I'm lucky that she's able to take care of kitty here in Sacramento during Thanksgiving. She is extremely responsible and does a ton of babysitting and is a good student going to UCLA, so you can definitely trust her in taking care of your pets. Plus, she really likes dogs and cats. She is a very busy girl, but gets the job done.”

Through growing up with two dogs and two cats in her family and fostering numerous dogs for a rescue adoption agency over the last 6 years, Dana has experience caring for and training dogs of all types and with various backgrounds. She has particular expertise in caring for shy dogs and getting them to trust her. I HIGHLY recommend Dana as a pet caregiver. She is 100% committed, trustworthy and reliable. She has made a positive difference in dozens of dogs' lives since a young age.”
