Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Belmont Heights

“We hired Shelli to check in on our cat 2-3x a day for a week we were away. We looked forward to every one of her reports! She was thorough, sent lots of photos, and even asked if we needed anything else around the house checked on. We’re so happy we found Shelli!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off and I genuinely enjoy them. I’m a reliable, kind, compassionate person who takes pride in anything I do. Im currently not working and want to do this as a little side hustle. I’m able to be flexible and work various hours and days I’m very patient and caring. I think of animals as humans and take pride in making sure they’re taken care of in a kind and compassionate way

“Wolfie is a rescue and he is super nervous around humans, but learning. Jen is the first person besides us to walk Wolfie. She definitely helped Wolfie make progress. Wolfie went from barking at her upon meeting her to adoring her at the end of the walk. Jen is super chill and great at observing a dog’s behavior and adjusting to his/her needs. Overall a 10/10.”

About: Hi! I'm Lara and I am a dog and cat lover! I grew up with dogs and helped my sister raise her mini Aussie during covid. Neighbors and friends have trusted me over the years to take care of their pets and I'd love to help take care of yours :) I'm an active person and love to explore. My daily routine already includes beach walks and parks, all that's missing is your furry friend. I have an apartment with plenty of open space and no other pets. Making it a comfortable environment no matter your pet's personality. I am conveniently located within walking distance of Rosie's Dog Beach!

“Amber took wonderful care of my cat Eloise! I always looked forward to seeing the cute pictures and comments after each drop in visit, and it looked like Eloise really enjoyed the company and playtime. I'll definitely ask her to pet sit again in the future! :)”

“Elise was absolutely the best! Not only was she caring with my dog, but she also kept me informed during her drop-in visits. I could tell Lur felt comfortable with her based on the pictures she sent me throughout the day. She even left some thoughtful gifts. I will definitely hire her again to take care of my dog. Thank you!”

About: There's never been a time in my life that I haven't been surrounded by plants and animals since my childhood! In my adult life as a long-term Long Beach (and Idyllwild) resident, I've fostered and cared for countless dogs for myself, family and friends. Caring for pets, plants, people and homes are things I love the most and I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family's care needs. I'm a real estate agent with a flexible schedule that's always in / around Bluff Heights and Long Beach. I have property up in the San Jacinto mountains (in Idyllwild) where I love spending free time hiking and hanging in the forest (especially during the summer). We have a large (8k+ square foot) yard with a dog door where our dogs have access during the day. They enjoy being in the garden with me chasing squirrels, lizards, butterflies and birds. We also walk our dogs at least once a day for a couple of miles. I check the yard daily for "remnants" that need to be discarded and/or any trash and potential debris (dead birds and animals) that may present a risk to pets.

About: Hi! I’m Josh, a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m flexible and home often, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and lots of playtime. I’m happy to host puppies and non-crate-trained dogs (house-trained only) and offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding at my home. I send updates and photos every visit and look forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and am home most days, so your pet won’t be left alone for long. I occasionally have music gigs or yacht maintenance work, but right now I’m available most days and can provide walks, potty breaks, and playtime around your pet’s routine. I host one dog at a time in my home, providing plenty of attention, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure their routine is followed and send photos and updates for every visit.

Regular Feeding and Watering: Maintain a consistent feeding schedule appropriate for your pet's species, age, and size. Always provide fresh water. Exercise and Play: Engage your pet in regular physical and mental activities to keep them stimulated and healthy. This may include walks, playtime, or training sessions. Grooming: Regular grooming, such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care, is essential for your pet's well-being and hygiene. Healthcare: Schedule regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations. Administer any necessary medications as prescribed by your vet. Socialization: Provide opportunities for your pet to interact with other animals and people in a safe and controlled manner to prevent behavioral issues. Love and Attention: Spend quality time with your pet, offering affection, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to strengthen your bond.

About: My experience caring for animals began over 15 years ago when I worked as a support staff member and cleaner at a pet lodge in Tacoma, Washington. That early experience gave me a strong foundation in animal care, cleanliness, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. 🐾 More recently, over the past few years, I have been regularly walking and dog sitting my elderly uncle’s small dog, Desoto, in his home while assisting my uncle during ongoing medical challenges. This experience has strengthened my reliability, patience, and ability to provide attentive, loving care tailored to a pet’s routine and needs. 🐶 I’m also a proud cat owner. A few years ago, my wife found a stray cat in the alley, and we welcomed her into our home. Kumbaya has since become a very spoiled and well-loved indoor cat, and caring for her has added to my hands-on experience with feline companionship and daily pet care. 🐈‍⬛ I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care so pet owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. ‼️ New Client Special: Affordable introductory rates available for a limited time! I am currently taking care of my elderly uncle in the mornings. I am available after 10/11am until evening Monday - Saturday. My schedule is flexible, please just let me know! I have a cat at home so I have experience feeding and playing with cats. I also watch my uncle’s dog at his house so I have experience pet sitting at other’s houses. My uncle’s dog recently had surgery to remove his eye and I have been taking care of him as well.
