Expert Pet Sitters With a Passion for Their Work

ABBY » Hey, I’m Abby! I’ve been doing dog and cat care for 5 years, in and out of my home. I got my dog Nyla when she was a puppy, and raising her inspired me to learn more about how dogs think/behave. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I know how to listen to dogs well, understand them, meet them where they’re at, and show them compassion at all times. My favorite part of pet sitting is heaping pets, praise, and attention on animals so they know they are loved while their human is away.

HUGO » Hey! My name's Hugo & I am a librarian by day, petsitter by night. I grew up around many dogs & cats, birds & fish, in the midwest. My mother was known for routinely getting dogs from the local shelter, always getting the oldest dogs, & giving them the best possible lives. I have worked as a petsitter for many years. I have been called a "dog magnet" when I go on walks because other peoples' dogs tend to gravitate toward me. It's a vibe. I've always been good with animals, love hanging out with cats, taking dogs on walks & playing at the park, & know all the responsible in's-&-outs of petcare :) What else is there to say? Thanks for reading!

AMY » I was born and raised in Colorado by parents who valued the natural world. Our family vacations were frequently spent visiting national parks throughout the southwest. My parents also supported my love of nature and animals by allowing me and my brother to have many pets, including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, fish, turtles and mice. In high school, I worked as a veterinary technician where my knowledge of caring for animals was enhanced. I also developed an interest in training our family dog. This interest continues today as I am raising a large Kuvasz (Hungarian Livestock Guardian) named Luna whose energy and playfulness seem unbounded. We have earned several AKC titles in scent work, tricks and canine good citizenship, and are hoping to start classes in agility soon. I also have a little grey cat named Loki who is learning to tolerate his giant canine sister. When I travel, nothing is more important to me than the safety and wellbeing of my pets. My goal as your pet sitter is to make you feel that your pets are safe and well cared for. I am detail-oriented, neat and thoughtful. I will respect your home and care for your animals with tenderness and love.

ZURI » As an LA native, I’ve come to appreciate the fact that “fur-babies” not only exist but are a way of life. Pets can become an integral part of your family because of the real value and love pets bring to enrich our lives. I know this firsthand growing up with pets whom I have cherished throughout the years. I love interacting and taking care of animals and, it’s something I find immensely rewarding. Whether it’s pet-sitting or walking your pet, I know the importance of spending time with them and showing affection. I have a genuine connection with animals and I treasure time with them. Sadly, my apartment does not allow pets so I fill that void by volunteering at the German Shepherd Rescue on weekends and pet-sitting for friends/family. I am looking forward to meeting your pet soon!

ASHLEY » My family always thought I was the troublesome child in the family, mostly because I would bring strays home from the street and bring them back home to nurture and provide shelter for them. I would create and put up signs reporting a found dog or cat in the neighborhood in hopes of returning the lost fur-family member. As a child I was a cat-mom, spending my time with my cats, learning how to bottle feed the kittens, and providing support for the overwhelmed cat mother. At some point me and my family cared for up to seven cats, six dogs, and a red ear slider turtle so I have experience with a variety of pet-personalities.I have tried my hardest to raise healthy and happy cats for as long as I could remember. My oldest cat, Sylvester, lived 18 long and happy years. My childhood dog, Scrappy, developed cataracts that were too risky to be surgically removed due to her age. Instead of putting Scrappy through the unnecessary risks, I personally trained and taught her new commands to help guide her. You may say I was her seeing eyehuman. All my childhood pets were strays that I took in and they live(d) long happy lives. I attempted to foster and heal little Oscar here, from a construction site, and to eventually find his forever home. I did not intend to keep my dorky fur-baby, but apparently he had other plans. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your fur-babies.

BRIDGET » Hi! My name is Bridget and I am a dog mom! This precious baby is Pegasus, named after my favorite Disney movie: Hercules. Although I currently only own dogs, growing up I used to joke with anyone who asked if I had pets saying that I did—in fact that I had a ZOO at home. My home was a safe place for dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, fish, birds, baby chicks, bunnies; you name it—all with very different and interesting personalities. Growing up I wanted to become a veterinarian because there was no hiding my love for animals but as I grew older I realized that although being a vet means helping animals, the job also has its difficult days where you have to preform procedures that I just knew I did not have the heart to. So, I decided I would change my career path and although I did, my love for animals did not change in fact it grew more. I know these precious beings are not just pets, they are FAMILY and a very big part of us and our daily lives. I hope you give me the great pleasure of caring for your family the way I love and care for mine.

COLLEEN » Hello! My name is Colleen and I’m a writer and creative living in Echo Park. Since I was a child, I’ve lived in a home with pets. I learned early on how much animals make life better; caring for them has made my life more meaningful and more joyful. Since we lost our sweet boy Gary, my partner and I have focused on fostering dogs from the North Central shelter (which I highly recommend!). My number one concern is the health and safety of others’ pets. I always err on the side of caution and treat animals in my care as I would want mine to be treated.

LORENA » Growing up in LA, I owned a wide variety of different pets from a duck, a rabbit, a toad, a turtle, a frog, and a dog, to all different types of fish. It wasn’t until I was given the love of my life, my cat-son, Timber, that I realized just how much I loved animals. I quickly became the go-to pet sitter for my family, friends, and coworkers. They entrusted me with their guinea pigs, birds, turtles, rabbits, cats, and dogs while they were away. I cherish the individual personalities that each animal has and I’m looking forward to meeting and becoming best friends with your pet. They are sure to get extra special attention and love when I stop by for a visit!

NICOLE » Most people know me as a “crazy cat lady” due to my unending love and fascination for cats. However, my affection extends towards all animals ranging from dogs, rabbits, even chickens. I used to be scared of dogs when I was a little girl, but my boyfriend’s three dogs showed me how loving and adorable they can be. I am now a “mama” to a sassy little chihuahua named Lilo. Furthermore, with my experience in caring for a variety of animals, I am confident that I can provide exceptional pet care while making sure that your furry/feathery/scaly family member stays happy and healthy!

ASHLEY » It all started with a Boxer puppy. Her name was CC & she was the best first dog for our family. My love for our special family pet has grown into 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes — from baby Frenchies to English mastiffs! No pup is too big or small for warm snugs & all the treats. I’m lucky to work from home full time, so your baby will have the around-the-clock love & attention they deserve, & I work east coast hours, so I’m off in the early afternoons, leaving plenty of time for your pup to burn off all that energy! I treat all dogs like l’d like to be treated: with love & cuddles — or space when needed. I’m more than happy to follow any routines you’ve built, or let your pups tag along w me as l go w the flow of each day :)

SAM » Hello there! My name is Sam. It’s so nice to meet you! I am so fortunate to have grown up with both dogs and cats. As an animal lover, I cannot begin to tell you how much I have learned from them. Caring for all animals became my life as it became my happy place to pet-sit. I have so much love to offer and cannot wait to meet some new furry friends! My empathy for both animals and humans know no bounds. I am an avid hiker and outdoorsman who loves to explore in my free time.

GENNA » As someone who is highly sensitive and in tune with the rhythms of this world, I have always had a special connection with animals. I grew up with 1-3 cats (depending on the year) and watched them all fight sickness and injury with strength and grace. I personally identify most closely with cats, as I am calm, strong-willed when I need to be, and full of love. I also love to hang out with dogs and have cared for birds and fish in the past as well. When I meet a new animal friend, I approach them calmly and with care, and I am often met with surprise from pet owners at how delicately their animals react to my energy. I have experience cat-sitting, house-sitting, and dog-walking for the past couple of years. I recently moved down to Los Angeles from Berkeley, and I can't wait to make new animal friends in this area. Whether it's a cozy cuddle sesh with your kitty or an exhilarating walk with your pup, I'm ready to help with all of your needs!

DOTTIE » Hi! My name is Dottie and I’m so excited to meet you and your precious pets! I just absolutely love all pets and animals. They melt my heart! I grew up in the Midwest and lived in Florida prior to moving to California. I’ve always had and cared for pets my entire life while growing up, including dogs and cats and bunnies and guinea pigs and fish just to name a few. My fur babies are my life and I enjoy caring for other fur babies as if they were my own. My 13 year old Lhasa Apso, Mister Louie, is my heart and my little shadow. I have 7+ years experience as a professional pet sitter as well as caring for my family and friends pets while they are away, and over the years have even been the designated mom to my kids’ school classroom pets over weekends and holiday breaks. I know how important of a decision it is to leave your precious fur babies in my care. I love sending photos and videos and leaving messages to give you the peace of mind of seeing and knowing that your precious babies are being loved as my own and well taken care of and happy and safe. I enjoy providing all pet care services whether it’s daily walks and visits and play/cuddle time or extended vacation visits or overnight stays in your home or mine. I am also a licensed realtor and will treat your home with respect and care. I’m so happy to be a part of the LA Pet Sitting team. Looking forward to meeting you and your precious pets!

GARY » Hi! I grew up with cats and dogs and just love love love animals. I'm with Nico, my bestestest cat friend! I will be more than happy to give your wonderful pet all the love it deserves and more!

GLENN » My experience with animals is both personal and I’ve always been an animal fan, from dogs and birds to cats and snakes. If you’ve ever seen the movie Best in Show, I’m all those characters blended together. I have three dogs myself, and also have fish and a flock of lovebirds. My love of animals has been enhanced by years of volunteering at the Pasadena Humane Society, where I have had training and experience in helping and nurturing every kind of dog imaginable, and Shadow Hills Riding Club where I have helped take care of horses, goats, pigs and other animals. One of my dogs is diabetic, so I’m well versed in administering injectables, eye drops and oral medications, and I understand the need to find a sitter who cares about your pets as much as you do. Your pet’s health, safety and happiness is my highest priority.

CRISPIN » Hi. My name is Crispin. I’ve owned cats for as long as I can remember. Buddy, sitting on my lap purring as I type this, is 17 and still living his best life! I have frequently cared for, walked and house sat the dogs (from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian) of my friends, neighbors and colleagues. As a pet and home owner I pride myself not just in the love that I have for all animals, but the responsibility that comes with it. Most of all, I want you to have total piece of mind that your precious pets are in loving hands and that I will give proper time, attention and care to them and your place of residence.

DEJA » Hi! My name is Déjà (like Déjà Vu) I grew up on a Ranch, with horses, cats, dogs, a buffalo, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish…and a few other sweeties. I love animals and nature very much. I feel exceptionally lucky to have the opportunity to meet, play, and look after your pet. I am an attentive listener and will take notes. I respect others spaces, and homes to the utmost. A useful feature of my OCD tendency is keeping spaces tidy. I respect animals needs and temperaments without forcing. I also am active! I love to hike, walk, play fetch or any thing your particular pet enjoys. I currently have two rescue kitty cat brothers. They have brought great love into my life, I hope to continue to return the love back to the animal kingdom. I reside nearby, and am familiar with, many Griffith Park trails. Looking forward to meeting and caring after your pets!

DANIELLA » Hi! My name is Daniella, I was raised in South Pasadena and have lived in LA most of my life. Besides my love for spending time with animals,I also enjoy doing pilates, attending music festivals and trying new restaurants with friends and family. I attended UCSB for my undergrad and I am currently studying to take the LSAT! I have owned many pets growing up from dogs, to cats, to birds and reptiles. Currently I have three cats whose names are Lulu, Louie and Franky. I also have a crested gecko named Penelope and a bearded dragon named Paloma.

ROGANN » I come from a pet friendly family and have had dogs all my life, I also had cats for a while. I moved to LA in 2021 but am not able to get a pet myself right now, I took care of my own cats and dogs and for other people. I would like to give my free time to your furry friend to play, walk, belly rub and much more.

JAVIER » Hi! My name is Javier. I grew up in Echo Park. Growing up, I had a few pets such as birds, hamsters, fish, a turtle, and I fostered and rescued a dog back in 2015. I've always had some sort of animal within arms reach and I really enjoy spending time and caring for them. The unspoken bond between human and animal is certainly something special. However, I understand that we can't be there 100% of the time. I hope I can bring the attention and care your pet needs until you return home to the

MICHELLE » Hi, I’m Michelle. I was born and raised in sunny Southern California. My passion is being in the ocean or really any body of water. When I’m not in the water windsurfing, paddling or rowing eights, I’m home curled up with my kitties. Throughout the years I’ve had quite the menagerie of wonderful animals. I have raised 5 rescue kitties, a Beagle and a Cockapoo, Macaws, Koi, the odd turtle and more house rabbits than I can count. I am animal user friendly, and I will care for your pets and give them tons of affection. For many years I have been cat sitting for friends and family. They all have one complaint, it’s that I spoil their cats and one great honor, they have nicknamed me “The Cat Whisperer”. In my previous profession as a child and adolescent therapist I mastered the traits of patience, caring, and unconditional appreciation of each child, and now animal’s, unique gifts that make them the wonderful beings that they are. I would so enjoy caring for your pets while you are at work or taking some time to travel and relax. Part of that relaxation comes from knowing your furry loved ones will be well cared for, playing and relaxing at home with me.

JON » Hi, I’m Jon And this is Lilly (puppy) my newest member of our family and Chuy (cat) the queen bee of the household. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I’ve always had a love for animals and connecting with new furry friends. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I have a passion for the outdoors. In my spare time, I love being outside walking, running or hiking.

JULIA » Hi there, my name is Julia and I have always been an animal lover. I grew up on a farm and I was always surrounded by animals which made me very happy. Horses, cows, cats, dogs, rabbits, you name it. Currently I have 3 beautiful kitty cats. My beautiful rescue girl, (Momo, pictured) my sweet tuxedo boy, Chomper and my newest rescue, my spicy redhead Nash. My kitties are definitely my children and they are all extremely loved and well taken care of. Throughout the years I have worked in pet sitting/dog walking and I loved every second of it. Animals tend to gravitate towards me and I am so thankful, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. It would be my deepest honor to have you entrust me to look after and care for you fur babies, they deserve the best love and care possible. I can't wait to meet them!

KEITH » I grew up in Syracuse NY and on the weekends we would go to either my grandmother's farm or my aunt's farm where I developed my love for animals and the countryside. We always had a cat in our family and later poodles (my mom's favorite kind of dog) and so I became very accustomed to the responsibility of taking care of animals and their different needs. When I moved to LA I missed having a companion animal and became involved with cat rescues from city shelters. All of my Kitties lived healthily until about 20 years old and I hope to provide that kind of caring and attention to your animal family members too!

SAMI » Sami has always had a connection with all kinds of animals. Any time she could spend with animals was gladly accepted. Growing up, Sami’s family had numerous cats, an aquarium full of pet store fish, and even tiny frogs. As a little girl, Sami dreamt of becoming a veterinarian to help animals in need and spend her days doing work she was passionate about. After realizing that classes are strenuous and cost a lot of money—and she wasn’t all that keen on the idea of surgical procedures—it became clear veterinary school wasn’t an option. The second-best thing is showering your babies with love and attention! When Sami is caring for your pet, you can guarantee she’ll make a lasting bond. Sami understands what it feels like to be away from those who mean so much to you. Her heart belongs to a 12-pound, 14-year-old Yorkie, Bella, whom Sami’s family adopted when she entered high school. Bella still lives on the East Coast, and is dearly missed. Because Sami can’t move her childhood dog across the country or get one of her own, she gives all her extra love to every animal she interacts with.

ANDREA » Hello! My name is Andrea and I am very eager to meet your pets and give them the love and care they deserve. I believe that pets are much more than just animals… they are family and they bring so much joy and comfort into our lives. Throughout my childhood I had many goldfish, a rabbit, a few turtles, a lovebird, a mixed terrier and this friendly French Bulldog named Lugo. Quality time is what I absolutely enjoy giving each fur-baby, whether that means going for walks, meeting their needs, playing fetch or just petting them. It’s very important for me to make a genuine connection and build trust with each pet, as they are all unique and special. I’m also a huge advocate for mental health and believe that as much as our pets need us, we also need them to get through life and keep our serotonin levels balanced. With that said, I look forward to caring for your pet and making a difference in their lives!

MICHAEL » Hi! I’m Michael, but around here they call me Cat Butler. I’m originally from Baltimore, and when I wasn’t playing on the mean streets, I was rescuing critters - owls, foxes, you name it. I became a cat-father almost two decades ago when I met my wife, and if anyone tells you that being overprotective of your fur-babies is unnecessary, don’t believe them! Although I live with cats, I’m also very experienced with dogs of all kinds, and I understand how much they need activity and attention. I’m also type A when it comes to cleanliness, and I will make sure your pet’s environment is immaculate. I’m incredibly sensitive to their every need, and would love to help look after your pet in your absence.

JILLIAN » Hello, my name is Jillian and I am a proud cat mom to 2 little angels (Mango & Axl). I have never met an animal I didn’t love! I love animals so much that when I was backpacking around Southeast Asia back in 2017, I fell in love with a rescue cat in Thailand and decided to adopt her (Mango). Then in 2020, I rescued Axl from a local LA shelter because I saw his picture and instantly fell in love with him. They have now become the best of friends. Growing up I had a rabbit, cat and dog along with a hamster and fish at various times. When I was in college, I was having serious animal withdrawal since the dorms/apts did not allow for pets. So I decided to volunteer at an animal shelter in between classes. I would also volunteer to pet sit my neighbors and friend’s pets when they would go out of town. I would love to get the chance to care for and love on your babies while you are away!

LISA » Hi! My name is Lisa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was very young. I’ve always had one type of pet or another. I’ve had experience with many different animals (domesticated and undomesticated) including having worked at an equine hospital every other weekend for 12 years and helping at a ROP animal care center (undomesticated animals). Among my personal animal rescues are a hawk, two ducks, a chicken and a crow. My current pets are the following: MoJo an offtrack Thoroughbred (ex-race horse) turned jumper; Sugarplum (Sug) my tuxedo kitty, BunBun (Buns) my rex rabbit, Tiago my Sun Conure and Bruiser my Russian tortoise. (Sug, Buns and Bruiser are rescues.) I consider my pets to be part of my family and treat them as such. I realize how much trust one puts in the person that will care for their pets and I take great pride in the love and care that I provide animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my very own and I look forward to meeting them!

MARTIKA » Hello, my name is Martika. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I love to hike, do some yoga, and plant. I am a current graduate student and dedicated my education and interest to animals, either domestic or wild. I had various pets of my own, such as my cat, Snowball. I love and care for different domestic pets, whether dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, or even reptiles. I treat other pets as if they were my own and give them unconditional love. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

MICHELLE » Hi friends! I’m Michelle and I can’t wait to connect with you and your beloved pets. I’m passionate about animal welfare and after years of caring for my friends’ fur babies (and human babies), I’m excited to turn my passion into a purpose. My buddies describe me as ‘big hearted and compassionate’. I would describe myself as kind and curious with a calm energy and thirst for adventure! I’m pretty intuitive with both animals and people which allows me to cultivate connections with ease and understanding. I grew up around horses, and dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life. Having said that, I’m nuts about all living creatures (except for earthworms don’t ask). I’ve volunteered at various animal charities over the years and currently foster which I LOVE - apart from the giving them back part... At the moment I have Saffron and Marge living with me, two formerly feral kitties who’ve spent the last year decompressing and learning how to socialize. This has been such a beautiful and rewarding experience that’s required immense patience, but both girls have come so far and I couldn’t be more proud of them! To wrap it up; I believe all animals deserve love but above all, respect. My promise to you is to honour that should I be entrusted with the care of your pet. So, whether you’re looking for someone to quietly cuddle your tabby or hike with your energetic lab, I’m your girl.

DAWN » Hello! I’m Dawn Halloran. I’m an LA native, and have had animals all my life beginning with a sweet white cat and a Sheltie. Over the years there were more cats, a Samoyed, a rabbit and a gerbil. I have 2 grown daughters who fostered various animals (a lizard, bunnies, several birds) in addition to the 2 dogs and 3 cats we had while they were growing up. I now live in North Hollywood with my husband, 2 rescue cats and 5 fish. I started helping friends with their pets several years ago, which led to my interest in pet care. I love making new animal friends and being able to help animal parents give their babies everything they need.

PAULETTE » Hi there! My name is Paulette but everyone calls me Paw. I was born and raised in Highland Park, CA. I found my love for animals at a very young age and my passion has lead me to working and volunteering with a dog rescue for over 15 years. There is no dog too big or too small, although pitties hold a special place in my heart. My passion has given me extensive experience in caring for others beloved fur babies. I believe our dogs are family and the unconditional love they provide should be returned. My personality is centered around being a animal lover and always being Pawsitive. I'm thrilled for you to trust me with your fur babies.

RAMONA » Hi! My name is Ramona and have been a lover of cats since I was five with my first kitty, Fluffy. I’ve had 7 kitties since then! And this includes a couple of ferals (Creampuff and Spunky) that I adopted. Though I love animals, I have a special place in my heart for cats. Over all those years of having pet kitties, I’ve formed a connection with them and have come to know their behaviors, personalities, and how to socialize with them. In fact, whenever I meet someone with a pet kitty, their kitty and I become friends very quickly. I decided to do pet sitting because I have a passion for cats and I wanted to work with one of my passions. My pet sitting experience is with cats but I’ve looked after a couple of the smaller breeds of dogs. Regardless, our pets are family members and we love them as such. I will take care of and love your pets as if my own. Thanks for stopping by and look forward to meeting you!

JAE » Hello fellow pet lover, my name is Jae! There hasn’t been a time in my life when I haven’t had a pet in my home. I’ve always had big dogs growing up (who always thought they were lap dogs), but have recently gotten to experience the joys and oddities of owning a cat. I’m used to driving with pets and love bringing them camping. As a habitual doodler too, I’ve been known to leave little pet portraits behind for owners! In the past I’ve gotten to pet-sit excitable puppies, mellow elderly doggies, as well as a few anxious kitties. I’ve been trusted to give pets their proper meds, get them good and exercised on long walks or hikes, and made sure they’ve got good company while their owners were away. I’d be grateful to look after your pet if you need an extra hand while you’re at work or on vacation!

JENNA » Hi my name is Jenna, i’m a mother of two cats! To the left of me is one of my best friends, Mishka. As a kid I grew up owning mainly cats but always cared for a variety of different animals. I’ve been a mother to a turtle, snake, guinea pig, hamsters, fish, and a dog throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I am currently a college student studying to become a registered nurse. Due to my upbringing with different animals I am very receptive to their needs, feelings, and wants. I believe there is no such thing as a bad pet, just a misunderstood pet. If you’re looking for someone who is attentive, caring and responsible, then I’m your pet sitter. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

SANGITA » Hi my name is Shangita and I have been a cat guardian for almost 20 years, as well as the proud parent of parakeets and lots of fish! I fell in love with animals in high school after volunteering at numerous animal shelters in the New Haven, CT area, and caring for my local feral cat colony with the Branford Compassion Club in Branford, CT. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, and those with special needs, diets, behavioral issues, medical issues, etc. I am dedicated to providing a compassionate, enriching, and nurturing environment for your beloved furry family members while you are away from them. When not spending time with furry friends, I am a dedicated surfer and musician. I am currently fostering a lovable Bengal/tabby mix named Bro Cat who loves to accompany me during my early morning pre-surf workouts. I can’t wait to meet your PAWWWsome loved ones!

GABRIELLA » Hello, I am Gabriella, but most people call me Gab. I am originally from Los Angeles, spent many years in San Francisco and returned to LA in 2004. I am mom to 1 teenage human and 2 purrr babies. Chiken is turning 18 and came to our home when he was 11. Oreo is approximately 10 and she came to our home a few months before Chiken. Oreo was a rescue and did not come out from hiding for the first 6 months she lived with us. It took a lot of love, kindness, care, and special treats to get her to trust us, and now she spends most of her time at my feet. Chiken on the other hand is a puddle in your lap and will sleep on your head at night—very loud purrrrr kitty. I have had cats in my home my entire life and have also been mom to a rabbit for 8 years and a few mid-size dogs over the years. When I was a kid, one of my favorite places in San Francisco to go hang out was called "The Farm" where Iearned how to milk a goat, collect chicken and geese eggs, and helped with small rodents and mammals like hamsters and rabbits. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with small bird care, on a few occasions small rodents and mammals, turtles and goldfish a few times. I look forward to giving love and care to your non-human family members.

DEBORAH » Hello, my name is Deborah and I am an experienced petsitter and animal lover. I am a dog mom to my 13 year old pitbull mix Azul, rescued from Mexico as a puppy. I was her foster mom thru Dogs Without Borders and then adopted her :-) I have also been a cat mom since 2007 to mischievous orange cats, and am an approved foster for underage kittens with LA Animal Services. I have experience with sick and elderly pets and can administer medications to cats and dogs. I have done quite a bit of local and travel petsitting at properties with dogs of all sizes, cats, goats, chickens, a tortoise and even horses!

BARBARA » Hi, I’m a pet lover who is reliable and compassionate. I have over 15 years of experience walking dogs and providing attentive care to pets, plants, and homes while owners are away. I’m great at creating a safe, nurturing environment for dogs, cats, and other household pets. Happy to walk them, be a companion, feed them, or administer meds. I love to take photos so I can also shoot cute pics of your fur babies to share with you. If pet sitting, I’ll insure your home remains secure and well-maintained. While I’m in your home, rest assured if you need any plant care I’ll be happy to do that, too! I’m committed to providing peace of mind through exceptional care and communication. Can also provide pet care in my home if you prefer.

ELANA » Elana is a natural people and animal person, currently in grad school pursuing her masters in social work. She grew up around dogs and animals, as her dad was a veterinarian. In her personal life, Elana worked at a dog daycare for two years and has a ton of experience with all different types of dogs and other animals. She loves all animals the same and makes sure to provide the highest level of care, as she knows pets are a part of the family. As a social worker, she knows how important it is to lead with compassion and empathy and she thrives when she’s able to take care of others, including furry friends. She has a long history of house and pet sitting for friends and family, and takes pride in being dependable and communicative. She loves to send lots of photos of your pets and make sure you know they’re properly being cared for while you’re gone. Because Elana is often out of the house or in class, she doesn’t currently have any pets of her own. Due to this, she gives all her extra love to every animal she interacts with.

MICHELLE » Hey there! I'm Michelle, and I'm all about making sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Growing up in a house filled with pets, I developed a deep love and under- standing for animals early on. Now, as a professional pet sitter and dog walker, I get to turn that passion into my everyday work. When it comes to your pets, I know they're more than just animals; they're family. That's why I treat each one with the same love and care I'd give to my own pets.

JONAH » Hello, my name is Jonah and I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved animals. I was raised with a lot of them (dogs, cats, birds, chinchillas, teacup-pigs, you name it) and developed a deep appreciation for the importance of constant cleanliness and tracking of everyone’s water-levels, specific needs and limitations in a methodical way. I’m also someone who greets animals at the door and shares in their excitement so that each visit is a special part of their day. I make sure to give everyone the individualized attention and love they prefer (even if their a little awkward, shy or stand-offish.) making sure they feel included. Everyone comes around eventually!

DIANA » Hello, my name is Diana! I am committed to providing reliable and compassionate pet care services to your furry family members. I grew up on a ranch in Northern California, where I was fortunate to be surrounded by a variety of animals. I was responsible for the daily care of our chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. I also enjoyed observing the local wildlife, including lizards, snakes, birds, coyotes, and deer. This upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for all animals and the importance of providing them with respect, love, and care.

I’m experienced with taking care of both senior and special needs pets -- I love showering them with all the affection they deserve!

COREY » Hello! My name is Corey and I’m your pet extraordinaire! I have 2+ years experience sitting for clients. I have over 20 years experience loving on animals as my father is a veterinarian and animal enthusiast (of ALL kinds). His passion has definitely rubbed off on me. My favorite thing about animals is their presence and awareness. Unlike us humans who tend to over analyze things they have the natural gift to just BE. I love them for that. As an actor I learn so much from them. I’m currently a student and I love to create music. I also use music to offer sound healings through- out the week. I play guitars, bass, didgeridoo, and flute (dogs love when I play flute for them). Dogs also love when I take them for walks. I’m very experienced in roller blading with them so we get to have a great time! I have ample experience in both dog and cat sitting (even turtles), and would love to be of service to you and your loved ones. I will treat them like my very own.
