I found Elaine on sitter city about a year ago and she has been our person for cat sitting whenever…read morewe leave town. She is trusted in our family. She has been in and out of our home with a house key in her possession and we have always felt safe and secure with her. The cats have always been pleased with her care also. She sends texts/email/photo to you when you're gone so you feel better about being away from your furry friend. We now have a little labradoodle puppy and go to her as well for dog-sitting/boarding. She has a wonderful, easy-going personality and is fantastic with both dogs and cats. We love Elaine and are so blessed to have her in our life as our cat and dog nanny. We wouldn't feel comfortable leaving our fur kids with anyone else (and we are actual parents of a child too so trust is a huge issue!) She also provides dog walking and doggie vacay in her home too. Way better than boarding, they get to have a home away from home! Elaine gets and A+! Services are provided in the San Fernando Valley, Valley Village, NOHO and Studio City.

When…read moreboarding at my house it will be a little vacation for your dog which will make it easier for you to relax and enjoy your time away. Day care is also available. Daily or occasional walks I also can visit your home to take care of cats, small animals and plants. I've been working with animals for over 30 years. I am comfortable with small or large dogs. My home is very dog friendly. There are several beds available in the living room and also in the yard which is fully enclosed. There are all sorts of toys for your furry friends to play with. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch with me too. I am available to come to your home for daily or occasional walks. I also do home visits for cats and some other small animals. Feeding, play time, clean the litter, etc. I have references available.

My dog Luna has been going to Kara for going on 4 years now. Whenever I pull up to her house my dog…read moreis eager with excitement, ready to jump out of my car to go inside. Luna loves all the dogs Kara watches; they're all friends that can't wait to play with each other. She goes the extra mile to pick up Luna from my apt when I need her to. She also hikes the dogs weather permitting, if it's too hot then they do a fun trip to the dog park. Kara is always my 'go-to' for dog sitting as well. Can't go wrong with a salt-of-the-earth dog lover!

After all her, she met one of her besties while in Kara's care. Her beloved dog Bruin was the sweetest, most gentle giant - especially to his "kitty sister".

Matty's Mutts is simply the best dog walker / dog whisperer I've ever had the pleasure of using…read more Matt has a special way with all dogs even the finicky ones. The group park trips are great and I especially love the early morning hikes he does with the pack. The pack is dogs of all shapes and sizes. And my miniature poodle is probably one of the smallest. Matt knows exactly how to keep all of them in line while also ensuring they have a great time. After the hike, my pup comes back happy and tired. Matt is great about sending picture and video updates. I've also used him for his boutique boarding. Also fantastic. They don't take on many dogs at a time and your dog basically becomes part of their family while it's there.

We just started using Matty's Mutts and could NOT be more impressed! We have a finicky little…read morerescue pup who is afraid of strangers, windshield wipers, crows, and life in general. Matt was able to charm her instantly and has since shown her the good life romping around parks in west LA! I really appreciate that he has several different doggie groups and can match your dog with the appropriate outing and pack- she is just not the Runyon Canyon type of gal. More of a running in circles and rolling in the grass... My FAVORITE part about Matty's Mutts is that he takes texts/ Instagrams pictures so you can see just how much fun your dog is having! This is especially reassuring in the beginning when you're not sure how your dog is handling. I also love that she is being socialized with other dogs, and just being around the other well trained canines, she has started to pick of some of their good habits (ie fetching, heeling, etc). It has also helped her to become more trusting with new people. Matt has been willing to pick up our little Fettuccine from our house in Venice and my office in Marina Del Rey, no problem. He also did a private training consult at our house when we initially got her and were completely lost (Why is she peeing in the hallway in the middle of the night?? How do we make her stop?!) He is kind and patient. Bottom line is that Matt loves his mutts and we're lucky to have joined the team. There is nothing better than knowing that your little fur babe is in good hands!

She came to our location to pick her up and drop off. Blanca was taken to get a pup cup, dog park and drive around town. My dog had a great dog day.

Diana is the absolute BEST! She took truly amazing care of our large + crazy pups (Boxer and…read moreRottweiler) while we were out of town the past week. Not only is she kind and incredibly accommodating, she also is very communicative and sent tons of videos, pictures, and even offered to facilitate FaceTimes while our boys were with her. Her prices are very reasonable and she gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs, who can often be anxious in new places, immediately were at ease with her and we could see how much they loved their time with her. She is truly amazing and we will without question have our boys stay with her the next time we have a trip. I would recommend her with the highest regard and zero reservations. Your pups will be in the best hands and have the greatest time with her!

Sara is our dog walker/sitter and has been for about 3 years and we love her. I felt so…read morecomfortable leaving my 3 dogs with her, whenever we went out of town. Once, we had even gone on a 3 week vacation to Europe and I was already feeling anxious about the whole thing, but she always made me feel comfortable. I knew she would provide the same love to my little fur babies as I would. I appreciated her communication the entire time. She has always been so friendly, honest, consistent, professional, and is just an overall wonderful person to work with. We even work with her husband, Lars, and our dogs are obsessed with him and their dogs. They love playing with them and sometimes they bring other dogs that they were sitting to come have a "puppy party"! Our dogs have never had that kind of fun before and love running around the yard chasing everyone, while I am at work. They had clarified that this was "okay" before hand and we were completely on board with the idea! I always tell her that we hope that they never leave since my husband, myself, and our dogs just love them so much. I will say that we have tried a few different dog walkers/sitters over the years and I am not sure if we could ever imagine finding someone like these two again. If you ever get the chance to work with them, you should be so lucky! My heart is so grateful for everything they have done for us (even including washing our corgi after he rolled in poop on a walk! Talk about above and beyond service).
