Pet Sitting Alhambra

About: For nearly two decades, my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I have extensive experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Not only can I take your high-energy dog for a long walk or run, I will also slow things down to give your elderly pet the time and attention they need. I’m known for never refusing a belly rub and always loving your pets like my own. I am also happy to check up on aquarium dwellers (like my client who has goldfish!) I am a professional dancer and summer is the slow season, so I have flexible hours that can fit anyone’s busy day. I am available for daytime check-ins, walks, and daycare any day of the week. My schedule easily allows for pet pickups/drop offs and house sitting. I am home most of the day to keep your dog company. If I am out of the house it usually will only be for a couple hours and I have a very friendly dog who will comfort your dog in my absence. Because I am home most of the time, I can do exercise and potty breaks as frequently as you would like.

About: I grew up with a medium-sized Cocker Spaniel mix who was part of my family for 17 years. I was involved in caring for him throughout his life, and during his senior years, I spent even more time by his side. I prepared his meals, helped with his daily needs, and assisted with his oxygen therapy when needed. Caring for him taught me how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to a dog’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I genuinely love animals and would care for every pet with the same patience and affection I gave my own. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have plenty of time outside of classes to care for pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and drop-in visits throughout the week. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect every pet’s individual routine and personality. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“This is our second time booking Sahirah! She responds to us fast and is super responsible. We will continue to book with her in the future and recommend her to others as well!”

“Mike was great! We were leaving our puppy in her crate at home for the first time for a night out. So she needed a check in to make sure she was chill. Mike came over and hung with her and her big sis for an hour and shared some great photos that let me know all was well!”

“Valerie was great with our 2 little pups! Our doggies warmed up pretty well with her after a couple days. She came in for drop in visits and walks. Loved how she’s communicative for any issues. Would definitively use her again.”

“Limari took great care of my cats while I was away. I appreciate that she was a good communicator and sent me pics with every visit. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would definitely rebook again. 🙂”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I've been the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. Most of that has been in-home care: feeding, fresh water, litter and cleanup, medication, and staying long enough that the animal actually gets some company instead of a rushed visit. I'm newer to walking dogs specifically, so I want to be upfront about that. What I bring is patience, consistency, and attention to how an animal is actually doing rather than just checking a box. I read body language well, I'll follow your routine exactly as you describe it, and I'd rather ask you a question than guess. If your dog needs anything particular on a walk, tell me and I'll do it that way every time. I run a tutoring business and my sessions don't start until the afternoon, so my weekday mornings and midday are completely open. That makes me a good fit for the late-morning to early-afternoon window when most dogs have been alone for hours and need to get out. I'm consistent week to week, so if you want the same time every Monday through Friday I can hold that slot for you. I'm offering walks and drop-ins only. Since I'm walking your dog in your own neighborhood, my attention is on your home and your street. I double-check gates and doors going in and out, keep the leash clipped until we're fully back inside, and I don't use retractable leashes. I keep dogs out of unfenced front yards and away from other dogs unless you've told me yours is friendly and you want the greeting. I'll follow whatever routine you already have, including which door you use, where the leash lives, and whether your dog gets water or a treat afterward. At home I have a fully fenced yard and cats, so I'm used to being deliberate about containment. If anything goes wrong on a walk you'll hear from me right away, not at the end of the day.

About: Dogs big and small, I’ve handled them all! Whatever you need from me, I can do. When you grow up raising dogs, it becomes second nature. I’m a part-time student, but my class load is no sweat! I can work any day except Saturday. M - after 4 pm T - after 7 pm W - after 2 pm Th - after 7 pm F - after 12 pm Sat - n/a Sun - after 12 pm Just give me any instructions or specifications, and I’ll follow them right down to the letter. You won’t have to tell me anything twice, swear.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, walks, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for pets like they're my own — with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. I work full-time during the week, but I'm especially flexible on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, and I'm happy to coordinate before/after-work visits to fit your pet's routine. I follow your instructions closely — including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines — and I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and other areas secure. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and will let you know right away if I notice anything unusual. You can also expect regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Lauriane was amazing! She was so patient and kind with our dogs and they seemed really comfortable with her right off the bat. It’s never easy being away from our pups, but knowing they’re in such good hands made me feel so much better. We will definitely reach out again!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Jessica as my drop-in dog sitter, and I must say the glowing reviews about her were absolutely spot-on. Jessica's genuine love for animals shines through in her exceptional care. I came back with LiLi happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. Jessica's attention to detail, personalized approach, and excellent communication made the entire experience worry-free. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have her watch my dog, LiLi, again.”

“Kristine was the sweetest with our two cats! Our cats loved her and seemed to be in great hands. We are new to Rover and she made sure we had a great experience. She came over before we booked to meet and make sure we were comfortable. She was very responsive with messages and sent pictures and detailed summaries of visits! We will definitely book with Kristine in the future!”

About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!

“Andrew is absolutely brilliant with my dog, He really understands dogs and has had some success in areas where others have not”

“So I brought Sammy over to Sylvia’s place and she felt right at home. She took her for a walk and Sammy loved it! Sylvia is a true animal lover it seems and really cared for Sammy during the drop in! I would 100% take Sammy back there!”

About: I've had many dogs growing up from a Chihuahua, Sharpei, Husky and now three of my own rescue mutts. Recently, I volunteered with a rescue in Agoura Hills bringing in dogs from Korea for a year, transporting them from LAX to an adoption center. Also, I have volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society and North Central Shelter here in LA. Paying close attention to detail, I administered daily medication, fed a special diet (often cooking homemade meals) and had monthly vet visits for a senior dog all while taking care of my young toddler. Since I've been a full time mom, I have most weekdays free between school hours and some evenings. When I don't have to take my daughter to her weekly activities, I am also available weekends. I'm pretty flexible and could be available on short notice. I have 3 dogs who are all potty trained and do not need to be crated. I understand everybody has different needs and environments, which I am open to assisting. I strongly believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets and therefore can play with them, give toys, snuffle mats, fetch balls, go over basic commands and even give baths. Walks are ideal in their own neighborhood, or just letting them out in their yard if that's what they're use to. I am able to give treats, or food when needed and give medication. Most importantly, I want my pets to feel safe, given undivided attention, and loved.

“Avery took amazing care of my dog & 2 cats while I went away. She sent personalized updates multiple times a day and cute photos as well! There was a big storm while I was away and she even went out of her way to tidy up my outdoor furniture and made sure everything was secured. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care and looking after dogs since I was a kid. I have an uncanny ability to find a dog's sweet spot and become best buds. With my flexible schedule, your dog (or any pet) will be properly taken care of and looked after for walks, pets, playtime, lunch/dinnertime, and even naps, even at short notice. I believe your furry friends are very good boys and girls, and I'll always remind them of that every time I see them! I'll take care of them as if they were my own with the love and attention they deserve while providing you with the updates you request and need. Looking forward to becoming your furry friend's new friend! (P.S. Please tell your dog I said hi!) My schedule is extremely flexible, maximizing the amount of time your furry friends want and need. I'm available most every day, including holidays (except Christmas), and even on short notice. I request to meet you and your pets beforehand to get to know both of you and what your expections and needs are as an owner. Whether it's housesitting, a drop-in, or a walk, I will treat your home, like your pet, as if it were my own, while respecting the rules of your home that you provide. I will also provide any updates regarding your pets upon request and as needed. Should any unforseen circumstances arise or an extra hand is needed, my girlfriend is also a very experienced pet sitter and can step in, if needed.

“Gabriella is fantastic with Teddy! Patient, kind and loving. I can tell they’re going to be friends. Will definitely use her again for drop-ins.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years and grew up with dogs my whole life. I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog with the same care, attention, and patience you would. Whether it’s a walk around the block or extra time for sniff breaks, I always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I do freelance work from home so I have a flexible schedule Monday-Sunday. I’m able to care for your pet based on their needs and walking/feeding schedule. I have a fenced yard and a 9 yr old, medium dog (28lbs cocker Spanish mix) named Mia who’s very mellow. Your dog’s well-being is my priority. While you’re away, I create a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow their routine closely, pay attention to what makes them feel comfortable, and ensure they stay happy and secure until you return. You can feel confident knowing your dog is receiving thoughtful, reliable care every step of the way.
