About

Hi, I'm Dusti, the heart behind Claws-N-Paws L.A.

I believe the best pet care begins with understanding. Every pet has their own personality, routines, comforts, and little quirks that help them feel safe and at ease. My goal is simple: to keep life feeling as familiar as possible while you're away, so you can leave with confidence and come home to a happy, well-cared-for companion.

Animals have always been part of my life. From childhood pets to decades of caring for the beloved companions of friends, family, and clients, I've had the privilege of earning the trust of animals with all kinds of personalities... and the people who love them. Whether energetic, independent, shy, or somewhere in between, every pet deserves care that's tailored to their individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

When I moved to Los Angeles in 2021, pet sitting became more than something I enjoyed, it became a way to build community while doing work that genuinely mattered to me. What began as a personal passion has grown into Claws-N-Paws L.A., a boutique pet care service built on trust, communication, and personalized care.

My background in health and wellness shaped the way I approach pet care... with patience, attention to detail, and the understanding that every individual has different needs. I bring those same values into every visit, treating each pet, home, and routine with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.

Whether your companion is a playful puppy, a senior cat, a curious reptile, a guinea pig, or another beloved member of the family, my goal is always the same: thoughtful, dependable care that helps reduce stress for both pets and the people who love them. By keeping routines consistent and providing personalized attention, I strive to make every stay feel comfortable, familiar, and full of love.

I look forward to earning the trust of both you and your companionand becoming someone you can trust whenever life takes you away from home.
