    If they were more stars available, I would give them here! Meg has been a cat sitter for me often on for years. I trust her implicitly. She is so kind and caring to my animals. She has a true sense of what animals need. She's patient, loving and responsible. The other sitters that work for her have been helpful to me as well.

    I was anxious upon leaving my 2 yr. old rescue cat, Lola Sparkle, home alone for the first time as I headed to London for a week. I explored a few options & almost selected another, larger, LA pet sitting service (before I found Eastside) but I just couldn't shake the feeling that they were more of a business than they were genuine animal lovers, especially when it comes to cats. Many companies nearby won't guarantee that you get the same sitter for the duration of your pet's care. Eastside was PERFECT. Meg is friendly & responded fast to my requests. She was able to set me up with Iris for 2x day visits on fairly short notice, especially considering the holiday season. Iris was as kind, genuine and responsible as it gets. The consultation was great, she was very attentive, took notes and asked great questions. It was obvious she cared about getting everything right for Lola's sake. Despite Lola being shy during her consultation, she clearly warmed up to Iris during her first visit & I LOVED the picture updates throughout the week. When I got home everything was in excellent order. Litter boxes, food, water, treats etc. had been attended to perfectly. The best part was that Iris didn't just take care of Lola, she had fun with her too! It was clear she had been played with lots as she waited by the door in the morning/night for the first couple days after I returned. The prices are more than fair, even for multiple daily visits. Bottom line: Eastside Petsitters is a top-notch local company well worthy of your trust & business.

    I was completely at ease knowing Trace was looking after my two cats. He sent updates during every visit and the cats are happy and healthy. I plan on using Eastside Pet Sitters for all my trips. Thank you guys so much!

    From one of our daily picture texts from Meg!

    I have never felt more strongly about a positive review than this one. Meg is the best dog walker you'll ever see on this earth. We're so grateful we found her. We're admittedly overprotective dog owners--all of our friends make fun of us for it--and so we basically approached finding a dog walker like choosing a college. We did a ton of research, arranged meetings, called references. Meg was the clear winner, and now, a year later, it's easy to see why all of her clients were so enthusiastic, because we're right there with them. Our dog Eleanor loves meg--she gets excited & happy when she hears her voice. That's the most important thing. We've seen Meg walking dogs in the neighborhood and she's fantastic with them. She walks one dog at a time and they get her full care and attention and love. She's a close observer--she knows Eleanor's personality and habits well, so she can let us know if something is different or off. She sends a picture text every walk and it just brightens my day to see our cute little dog while I'm stuck at work. Finally, both Jon and I have pretty hectic work and travel schedule and Meg's flexibility and adaptability with schedule changes, often on very short notice, has been a total life saver on many occasions. She's amazing, pet owners of Los Angeles. Seriously. It is not physically possible to find a better dog walker.

    Dylan and Trace did such a nice job of taking care of our cat while we were away for about a week. Eastside Petsitters is really easy to communicate with via text message updates, and we also love getting their photos, too! On top of that, we appreciated how they worked with our kitty, who can be extra shy around new people. They were able to get her out from hiding, and greeting them when they arrived! This has been our favorite service for pet sitting, by far!

    Let me first say that when I found Eastside Petsitters (via Yelp), I was VERY nervous. I had had numerous AWFUL experiences with my previous pet sitting service (the Pet Staff) & I prayed to never have to experience that kind of thing again. Meg brings new meaning to amazing. She is always prompt, reliable, efficient & honest. Thanks to Meg I am beyond happy & lil kitty is happy too :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you. Meg deserves all these thank you 's & more.

    Dylan is awesome!!!! I found this place through yelp when i was searching for a pet sitter to sit for our dogs while our family went away for a few days. I called this place due to the reviews and also a few others. Since i was looking for a sitter that would be available for Christmas, I knew it was going to be hard to find one. Most places i called said they didn't have sitters that worked my area. I called Meg and left her a message and she called me back within hours and confirmed availability with Dylan. I was a little nervous since we have never used a sitter before and we would be leaving the keys to our house with a stranger but as soon as our family met Dylan, we right away could tell that he was trustworthy and honest. He just gives out a good vibe. Dylan met our 3 pitbulls and we scheduled about 3 more visits before we left for vacation. Dylan was great about calling us with updates and sending us pictures and texts. He's a very responsible and respectful. He even talked to our dogs in Spanish since they're bilingual lol. We will definitely be calling Dylan next time we need a sitter. We plan on calling him even if we are not going anywhere just so our dogs won't forget about him :) I would highly recommend Dylan from Eastside Pet Sitters!

The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.

During a scheduled walk, the walker lost my house keys, which had my full address labeled on them. I was in therapy and unable to respond for about 30 minutes. When I did, I had to explain that the keys were labeled with my address; only then did the company bring up calling a locksmith. As a result, my 10-year-old dog was left outside with the walker for an hour, and would have been outside for much longer if a friend hadn't picked him up. It took 3 hours to resolve this issue. The company did pay for the locksmith, but communication was limited unless I initiated it in regard to status of the locksmith, and the owner said she would look for the keys but did not. I was also charged a cancellation fee on a separate day, despite explaining I cancelled because my grandmother had passed away and I had stayed home from work. They also charge $10 extra for "a late booking". Based on this experience and the safety concerns involved, I would not use this service again. The owner communicated with me respectfully but again my safety (single woman living alone) and my dog's safety were jeopardized - while the issue was resolved I'm shocked it happened in the first place. I'm sure this company delivers great services outside of this mistake but I can't keep this to myself as it was extremely upsetting and has NEVER happened in my 10 years of being a dog owner using multiple services.

    This review is LOOOONNNGGGGG overdue. I had gotten a Shiba Inu puppy 3 years ago that had to be…read morehospitalized due to Parvo the next day. Then, once he recovered from that, had a fever that almost killed him and had to be hospitalized again. We had to keep him quarantined for a while and away from my other dog (a 7 year old Pomeranian at the time) and get all his vaccinations from the beginning. He was scared of literally every single noise and had anxiety about just about everything. Over time, he developed extreme food aggression and we were worried for the safety of my little Pom. He had been attacked a few times to the point of actual injury and it was extremely stressful for everyone. I was at my wits end and I felt like I had tried everything to help Gunnar (my Shiba) and protect Simba (my Pom). I did a lot of research and stumbled upon Jenina and sent her a message for private sessions where she would come to my apartment once a week. I believe I only used her for a little over a month but I am eternally grateful. The level of aggression Gunnar displayed was so dangerous that my roommate and I actually have been bitten with blood trying to protect Simba from harm where food is involved. The issue was that he wasn't aggressive with all foods and we were unaware the extent until it was too late (ex. we thought it was only wet food so we were giving a chew stick to them separately where I would have Simba sitting next to me on the couch and Gunnar would be on the floor away from Simba with my roommate and the switch was so sudden----from sweet to seemingly no warning lunging at Simba----I stuck my leg out to protect Simba and he bit my leg instead). I feel like at this point, a regular human being would give Gunnar up, but that wasn't an option. It wasn't an option when he came to me dying from Parvo, it wasn't an option when he had an almost fatal fever, and it wasn't going to be an option for me now. I was determined to find a way to help him because he is my baby and my responsibility. The vet suggested I contact a behavioral specialist and when I did, VCA told me the earliest appointment they had was months later. Fed up with waiting, I found Jenina. In a month's time, she had given me the tools to fix a seemingly impossible situation. Make no mistake---she made me work for it. She might come across brash to some people but she is very direct and straight to the point. She doesn't coddle you and makes sure she lets you know what you need to do because while the session is for dogs, it is actually more like training the parent. She gives you "homework" and training info and is only willing to help you if YOU do the work. Now, it wasn't a complete fix. He still has anxiety outdoors or unknown noises as well as food aggression but it is nowhere near what he used to be. Before Jenina, Gunnar couldn't even take a step outside the apartment building let alone go for a walk. Three years later, Simba has sadly since passed but he has a little brother that he is extremely patient with as he acts like a typical annoying little brother), his food aggression has gone down from 100 to 30, and we go out to all sorts of places. He is THRIVING and this is all thanks to Jenina. My roommate and I are on high alert and know what to look for in terms of triggers and are very quick to de-escalate aggression situations. We try our best not to avoid known triggers and we work with him every day to allow him to be his best self. He is the sweetest boy and we are so glad he's been able to show it instead of being overshadowed by aggression and anxiety. She also gave Gunnar his nickname---Gunny! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am so sorry it took this long to leave this review but thank you so much for saving us. If we had listened to the VCA behavioral specialist that basically called Gunnar a monster and suggested we give him up, he probably would have been euthanized somewhere. We owe you so much.

    When I adopted my dog, he was a still happy rumbustious puppy that needed a lot of training…read more Jenina took me under her wings, and taught me how to understand dog's behaviors and how to connect with them. I'm grateful of her.
