Professional Dog-Sitting in Los Angeles That Keeps Your Dog Calm and Secure
Leaving town should not mean your dog becomes anxious, unsettled, or out of routine.
Many dogs do not cope well with change. Missed walks, unfamiliar people, inconsistent schedules, or noisy environments can quickly create stress behaviors that last long after you return. If your dog is sensitive, anxious, reactive, or simply thrives on consistency, the quality of care matters far more than convenience.
I offer professional dog-sitting and house-sitting in Los Angeles for owners who want their dog’s emotional stability preserved while they are away.
This is not casual pet-sitting. It is structured, predictable care built around trust, routine, and calm presence.
Why Routine Matters More Than You Think
Dogs regulate themselves through repetition. When routines disappear, stress rises.
That is why I follow your dog’s existing schedule precisely:
* Feeding times and portions
* Walk routes and timing
* Play, rest, and quiet periods
* Medication or special care instructions
Nothing is improvised. Nothing is rushed. Your dog’s world stays familiar, which allows them to remain settled and regulated.
This approach is especially important for dogs with separation anxiety, rescue backgrounds, or heightened sensitivity to change.
Meet & Greet Comes First, Always
Before any booking, I offer a complimentary meet & greet.
This is not a box-checking exercise. It is how I assess fit.
During this time, I observe:
* How your dog responds to my presence
* Body language and stress signals
* Energy levels and boundaries
* Environmental comfort within your home
This allows me to tailor care accurately and ensures your dog feels safe before you ever leave. If it is not the right fit, I will say so directly. Your dog’s wellbeing comes first.
In-Home Dog-Sitting or Care in My Pet-Friendly Home
Different dogs settle best in different environments. I offer two options:
In-Home Dog and House-Sitting
Your dog remains in their own space, with their familiar smells, sounds, and routines intact. This option works best for dogs who are strongly territory-based or prone to anxiety.
Dog-Sitting in My Home
For dogs who adapt well to calm environments, my pet-friendly home can offer structure, quiet, and steady attention without disruption.
We choose the option that minimizes stress for your dog, not the one that is most convenient.
Daily Updates So You Are Never Guessing
When you are away, uncertainty creates unnecessary worry.
You receive daily updates, including photos or short videos, so you know:
* Your dog is relaxed and settled
* Eating and sleeping normally
* Getting proper exercise and attention
Most clients tell me this alone changes their entire travel experience. They stop worrying because they have clarity.
Experience With Sensitive and High-Needs Dogs
I have extensive experience working with rescue dogs and dogs with emotional or behavioral sensitivity. This includes:
* Separation anxiety
* Reactivity
* Shutdown or avoidance behaviors
* Medication schedules
* Dogs who require calm, steady handling
These situations require patience, awareness, and emotional regulation. Many sitters are simply not equipped for this. I am.
What Clients Consistently Notice
Clients return because they notice clear outcomes:
1. Their dog is calm and settled when they return.
2. There are no stress regressions or behavior spikes.
3. Communication is clear, consistent, and reliable.
4. Their home is respected and cared for properly.
This is not about “watching” your dog. It is about maintaining emotional continuity.
Dog-Sitting Rates and Availability
Dog-sitting and house-sitting services start at $100 per day.
Final pricing depends on:
* Number of pets
* Level of care required
* Location and logistics
Rates are transparent and discussed in advance. There are no surprise add-ons.
