Local know-how pays off in Los Angeles
LA splits into a Westside (cool, marine-layer mornings) and Eastside (10 to 15 degrees hotter inland) within the same metro. Sitters charge per-mile or per-neighborhood, and almost everyone drives to the booking.
When demand peaks
Boarding spikes around film-industry hiatus weeks (mid-December to early January, July), pilot-season travel (January to March), and major awards weekends. Drop-ins and walks run steady year-round on the Westside.
Know your Los Angeles areas
Most bookings cluster Silver Lake to Santa Monica. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.
