Leaving town with a cat, a senior dog, or a whole houseful of animals is a different kind of stressful than packing a suitcase. Every pet sitter on this Los Angeles page holds a rating of 4.9 or 5.0, and between them they've logged 522 Google reviews, so the real decision here is about fit, whether you need daily photo updates, plant care, overnight stays, or someone experienced with a shy senior cat, not whether they're any good.

Short answer: Love Pet Care leads with the deepest track record on this page at 158 reviews and a 4.9 average, offering both dog walking and in-home sitting across LA. Sitter4Paws posts a perfect 5.0 across 103 reviews and covers plants and multiple pets in one visit. The Comforted Kitty specializes specifically in cats, with a perfect 5.0 from 92 reviews.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume ranks how many customers actually rated the business against others in the pool. Confidence weights the rating by how many reviews support it, so a handful of five-star reviews scores lower confidence than a rating built on hundreds. Recency checks how current the feedback is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does pet sitting cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Rates vary by visit length and whether you need overnight care, boarding, or just a daily drop-in, and multiple sitters here mentioned frequency discounts for regular bookings, so ask directly for current pricing before you book.

Serving all of Los Angeles

Coverage among these sitters spans from West Hollywood and Beverly Hills to San Gabriel, Pasadena, and central LA neighborhoods like Echo Park and Los Feliz. Search ‘pet sitter near me’ and confirm the sitter actually services your zip code before booking.

What to ask before you book a pet sitter

  • Can I meet the sitter before the first paid visit?
  • Do you send photo or video updates after each visit?
  • Are you bonded and insured?
  • What happens if my regular sitter is unavailable during my trip?
  • Do you charge extra for medication administration or multiple pets?
  • Can you also handle mail, plants, or light home checks?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these pet sitters?

We pulled real Google ratings, review counts, and review text for pet sitters across Los Angeles, then ranked them by rating weighted against review volume and recency.

How often is this list updated?

We refreshed this data in August 2026 and periodically re-check ratings and review counts to keep the rankings current.

Should I book a meet-and-greet before hiring a pet sitter?

Most sitters on this list offer one, and it’s worth taking. It lets your pet get comfortable with a new person before you leave, and gives you a chance to walk through instructions in person.

Do these sitters handle multiple pets or just one?

Several, including Sitter4Paws and Love Pet Care, regularly handle multi-pet households in a single visit; ask directly about pricing if you have more than one animal.

The bottom line

Love Pet Care’s track record makes it the safest default if you want a proven, long-running service. If your household is cats only, The Comforted Kitty’s specialist focus is worth the switch. Either way, book the free meet-and-greet first so your pet isn’t meeting a stranger for the first time the day you leave.
