I met Shari because she takes care of my neighbors cats. Everytime she would pass by our door, my Goldendoodle would go crazy, desperate to go out and see her. We finally got the chance to chat, and I realized what a gem she is! After hearing my neighbor's glowing review, we hired Shari to look in on our boy while we were out for a long day. Not only does she text when she arrives and when she leaves, she sends pictures to show me they are out walking and then cuddling on the sofa (which is what he REALLY loves). She is so accommodating, so easy to work with....we just adore her. More importantly, our sweet pup adores her too! read more

My cats absolutely LOVE Shari. She is the best cat sitter on the planet; she is always kind to me and my cat, professional, trustworthy, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. I always feel bad about leaving my cats behind when I travel, but I never have to worry about anything when I know that Shari is looking after them. She also sends me photos of them when she visits, which is comforting when I am away from home. I trust her completely and highly recommend her services. Trust me, you will be able to relax and enjoy being out of town knowing that your pets are safe and well cared for! read more

Shari was a recommendation from a co worker so I felt good about working with her already but she really exceeded my expectations. i contacted her right after thanksgiving in 2025 and i was worried she would be booked but she worked with me to fit me in her schedule. she watched my cat for two full weeks over xmas holiday and into the new year.She texted and sent photos or videos of my orange boy everyday. She informed me when she noticed he wasn't regularly using his litter box. She has a team but likes to keep one person on a pet at a time and so she informed me when her schedule needed adjusting. She is so easy to work with and trustworthy. My orange isnt friendly but he warmed up to her in just a few days which is so unusual for him! i cant say enough good things about Shari and the service she provides. Her prices are very reasonable so I had her come over twice a day. If you are nervous about finding someone I 100 percent recommend her. She was a recommendation to me and I will be using her going forward! Its such a relief finding someone you can trust. read more

Shari is the absolute best! I was lucky enough to find her when I moved to LA and am now limiting my house search to her service radius because she is just that fabulous. She is reliable, honest, and most importantly one of my cats' favorite people. She spends time playing with them each visit, gives me updates on their well-being, and sends the most adorable photos. I cannot recommend Shari/Westside Pet Sitters enough! read more

After an exhaustive search and more than 6 interviews of potential sitters, we hired Lisa to take care of our fur and feathered babies for us during the holiday season. She immediately bonded with my more discriminating pup who barks at everyone....except Lisa. He actually was cuddling with her during her interview! Lisa was punctual, not afraid to administer meds (including insulin injections), and spent time playing with and snuggling our dogs. She'll even walk them if you want. Great with the birds too! She is price competitive and a wonderful person. We love her!!! Highest recommendation we can give is 5 stars on Yelp? Lisa getts 20 stars from us!!!!! read more

Westside Pet Sitters is by far the most loving, professional and competent pet sitting service available! Not only have our fur babies always gotten the care, time and attention we want for them, but we fully trust our home to Westside Pet Sitters as well. Shari has watched our kitty and pup for years. She is amazing! When Shari is unavailable, Shea is our Westside Pet sitter. Our pets adore both Shari and Shea! Our home key has never been lost or misplaced by Westside PS, our paperwork has always been kept straight, and we get a text each time our pet sitter has been to our home. At this point, our sitters and this service have become part of our family. read more

Shari is the best pet sitter I've ever had, and I highly recommend her business. Shari is very professional, trustworthy and most importantly, she genuinely cares for my furry creature. It's a joy to receive photos of my cat cuddling up next to her while being away. It's never easy to leave the fluffy one at home, but Shari definitely makes me feel relaxed. I can never thank her enough for her exceptional services. read more

I've been using Westside Pet Sitters for over a year now and it's been wonderful! Zahava is just a lovely person. She came by and immediately bonded with my cat. Zahava was very attentive with feeding times and even reciprocated feline affection; which for my cat is what was needed. I highly recommend Westside Pet Sitters! Thank you! read more

I've been using Westside Pet Sitters since moving to LA almost four years ago. Zahava has been my main contact and is always responsive, answering within an hour of reaching out. Any time I leave town, I ask Zahava if she has availability to check in on my two cats. If she doesn't, she makes sure someone else from the company is able to stop in. Each person who has cared for my cats follows the same guidelines established by the company; so, there is never a doubt that my cats are being cared for and loved while I'm away. My favorite guideline is that the sitter always sends a daily text update and pictures of your fur babies. This company is easy to work with and helps me relax when I leave town which happens at least five times a year. Prices are competitive but you will rest easy knowing your pets are cared for by people who do really care. They pay attention to your preferences, know the veterinarian you use, will administer medication if needed, and will reach out if anything seems at all out of the ordinary. I cannot recommend Westside Pet Sitters enough. read more

I highly recommend this company!!! I had never used a pet sitter before, but needed someone reliable to check on my kitties while my husband and I were out of town for 10 days this fall. I talked to several different services on the phone and I really liked the philosophy of this company, Westside Pet Sitters (consistency... same person every day, coming in at the same time, offering to send texts with updates, took time to get to know about each pet). When Shari came to my house I was sold. She was friendly, got down on the floor to play with my cat and my cat took to her immediately. We had everything arranged that afternoon. All three of my cats have always been healthy. Then about ten days before our departure date one of them became ill. Trips to the emergency vet, regular vet, and a specialist. At the end of it my cat was needing ear drops, a pill and an insulin shot daily. We were about 4 days from departing and called Shari to talk about the changes. I was almost ready to stay home with him, but she was very reassuring, "No problem, I do this all the time," she said. She came back for another consultation and to confirm the medications. (Both consults were free, thanks Shari!) We went on our trip and had a wonderful time. We looked forward to getting those daily texts with an "all's well" or silly anecdote about my boys. When we got home the house was not stale, she had scooped daily and straightened up their little messes (one is prone to puking with changes in routine). Since then I have called her and asked her to come in for a few short trips, including the holidays. Each time it has been easy to make arrangements. She lets me know what the schedule will be like for her visits and she texts me a little update every day (even pics sometimes!). Even my scaredy cat, Stinker, comes out to see her and give her some purrs. The prices are very reasonable. I pay for a slightly longer visit as one of my cats is very social and gets lonely. Shari is very professional and I can relax and feel confident that my cats are well taken care of when I'm away. read more

I'm so happy and relieved we went with Westside Pet Sitters for our 2 week vacation! We got pictures and videos of our cats sent to us everyday. I loved knowing they were safe on a daily basis. Even my plants were taken care of while we were away! Thank you! read more

We LOVE using Westside Pet Sitters and have referred all our friends with pets to them. We've been using them for about 5 years, and Shari has been wonderful. Our cat, Rooney, loves getting his visits from Shari, and we love getting the daily picture updates! They are accommodating, professional, and most of all- really do love the pets they care for! read more

Westside Pet Sitters have eliminated that additional nagging worry that surfaces every time we leave LA and have to figure out what to do with the 2 cats. The first time we used them Zahava came out to get the keys, etc and she is an absolute delight; so personable and easy to get in touch with. I've called on them a couple more times since then, and the convenience is extraordinary. I shoot Zahava a text, "hey its Amanda w/ Shu shu & Keno can i get a sitter these days"; they already have my key, and then i just Venmo. YES VENMO. They're hip to all the modern technological conveniences and thats a winner in my book- make my life as easy as possible. They text me every time they visit so I am always rest assured of their comfort and that they haven't killed each other. They usually send the same sitter, but she sends another sitter she lets me know which i think is really thoughtful. I will be using them for a long time! **this message co-signed by ShuShu and Keno** read more

Sometimes things happen for a reason. I contacted Westside Pet Sitters after my original sitter had to cancel at the last minute. Meeting Shari alleviated all my concerns. She was personable, thoughtful, professional, and responsive. Most importantly, my 14 year old dog immediately took to her. It was so reassuring to receive her texts each day letting me know everything was going well. I'm so happy that I found her and would not hesitate to use her services in the future. Shari is the best! read more

I found Westside Pets through Yelp, and boy am I glad I did! I have been working in Canada, and my husband comes up to see me once a month, so we needed someone to look after our two kitties. Lisa is awesome. In fact, my cats love her so much that I'm a little bit jealous! She sends us photos, and one is usually perched on her knee, with the other cosied up by her side. Knowing that Lisa is there to look after them has really put my mind at ease. She's also super responsive and quick to reply to our requests. I totally trust her and would highly recommend Westside Pet Sitters for anyone leaving their fur babies at home when going out of town. Prices are very reasonable too! read more

I have intermittently needed a dog walker, and Shari has been wonderful. She is very professional, courteous, and follows through. Truth be told, the owner of another dog walking service lives on the same block as I do. I've hired him once because of the proximity, and Shari was so much better that she will be my dog walker in the future. read more
