Pet Sitting Bixby Knolls

About: I love dogs and how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. Available to give them an uptempo stay including dog parks and running, or a more relaxed backyard hang if they're more of a homebody. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I'll treat your dog like my own, and give them all of the love and attention they want. We have a 12-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who loves company and will welcome your dog with open paws. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, and willing to get your dog plenty of exercise if they're more active, or taking it a little easier if they aren't as energetic.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and my own for the past 11 years. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours like one! Any type of help you need, I will exercise your pet, wash them, administer medicine. They will be well taken care of! Currently working full-time during the week. I am mostly available on weekends: Fridays: 6:30pm-night Saturdays: 1pm-night Sundays: all day I can make myself available on weekday nights 6:30pm - evening depending on the situation. Dogs will tell you what they need. I take them for potty breaks frequently and if they are telling me they want more play time I will give them extra play time. When they are more tired I will give them space to rest. Sometimes when they have attitude I have to be stern and tell them it’s not time for extra treats xD they like to be challenged so I do like to train them to do some tricks. My dog knows how to roll over, beg, and wait amongst several other tricks. Dogs like the direction and having a job to do. I have the patience to help them learn how to wait and walk properly on a leash without pulling. It takes time but it is doable!!

“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”

“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

“I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Allison took prompt and attentive care of Vivi every day. She sent plenty of pictures and confirmed all of Vivi's care instructions. When they AC wasn't turning on, Allison replaced the batteries in the control unit to ensure my apartment didn't get too hot. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: Hello! My name is Anne and I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I was born into a family of dog lovers and I am very comfortable around big dogs (and smaller as well) as I have been around them from the day I was born. I have two dogs, Merlin and Oreo, and I’ve seen how hard it is to find a good pet sitter. I’m hoping I can help out fellow neighbors and cuddle your pets while I’m at it. I have experience with puppies and senior pets alike and look forward to giving your pets the next best experience to you being home with them. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I keep my schedule updated one week at a time but feel free to reach out about other dates even if it says unavailable! I’ll work with you to create your ideal pet sitting experience, if I’m available on your days I can check in/stay with your pets as often as requested. Please let me know about any special needs for your pet, I’m experienced with giving oral meds and topical treatments, please let me know if there’s anything your dog requires to make sure we are a good match.

“Courtney was so amazing with my 3 lb puppy. She was very gentle and took amazing care of her during their walk. Thank you so much for a great walk and report card!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and have had multiple dogs of my own. I’ve been walking dogs for over 23 yrs for my friends, family and neighbors’ dogs and they do currently rely on me when they need their dogs walked and played with, or just spoiled with lots of love and attention. 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I currently work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time to give full attention to puppies or any dogs that require extra or special attention. I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to play with your furbaby. I also take them to the park regularly and can take ur furbaby to the park or dog beach for a day of fun.

About: We are the proud mom and dad to our dog Koby who is 9 years young! We have plenty of experience with dogs who tend to have separation anxiety. That being said, you will not need to worry about your pup running out of entertainment. My husband works from home, so your pup will not be left alone and will have frequent walks throughout the day. We have a completely fenced in yard that will allow for fresh air throughout the day. My husband works from home full time so your pup will never be left alone and taken on walks every few hours. We are always outside playing and taking strolls in the neighborhood with our dog and will happily welcome yours! We have a very large and gated yard for fresh air as well! We have a large enclosed backyard which is gated in the front. Your dog would be free to roam the house. If your pup loves to sun bathe like ours, they’ll love all the nature sunlight beaming through our windows.

“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”

About: Hi, I’m Fancy! I love making new friends and playing all day. My human Judy has years of experience caring for big dogs and even raised and trained, Dolly the Dogo Argentino (RIP), Now it’s my turn to share the fun, come join me for playdates, cuddles, and poolside adventures! If you have the right temperament, you can even meet the cats (twin boys, Pancho and Lefty) and our backyard chickens! I work from home as a healthcare consultant and would welcome your dogs to my little urban farm located in LBC. I am home most days really just going out for errands, animals are the main focus of my day, I have 2 indoor cats, a 7 month old golden retriever and 4 backyard chickens. I even have a feral cat that I feed, she is best friends with the chickens but wont let me touch her, yet! I have a fenced yard, that was built to contained my beloved Dogo Argentino, my home is very safe with doors that separate the house in sections, This is helpful when needing to separate the animals, or to create barriers for escape artists. I have crates if needed. Most dogs just sleep in the bed with me, Fancy will pout for the first night and then she will cuddle up!

“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”

About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!

“Karen did a wonderful job looking after my 8 year old cat! She was very consistent with her check ins and pictures, I never had anything to worry about the 9 days I was out of town.”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.

About: I missed having dogs at home. Unfortunately I lost both of them last year. I had them for 16yrs. I have experience with senior dogs. I know how to put injections such as Insuline shots and give them medicine. I live in Long Beach, very close to LBG, very convenient airport. I like to keep the dogs at the house and just have a daily routine as they do at own home. I tried not to take them to places unless is required. I'm currently working part time and working from home. I'm available most week days and weekends. I'd rather take reservations from Thursday thru Sunday and some holidays too. Only one family at the time, no more than 3 pets. I just moved to Long Beach. Bixby Knolls area. Very close to Long Beach Airport. Very convenient and easy airport to flight from. Safe environment, a lot of places to go for a walk and 3 story townhouse, hard wood floors with small balcony, small patio and garage. Enough space to spoiled your dog. Gates to keep the dogs away from the stairs as well.

About: I am a former pet dog trainer and working K9 handler who would love the chance to meet your dog and treat them like my own! I have two black labradors (one is a certified bomb dog) that I love dearly and have trained myself. I've been around many many different dogs, and traveled thousands of miles for training and seminars to learn from the best of the best! My experience is different from a lot of other dog walkers because I understand both training and behavior. I have had the pleasure of working with pet dogs who just want a good scratch, to dogs with insane drive who sniff drugs and bombs for a living. I've seen it all! Nothing really phases me, and I believe every dog needs a good outlet for their drives and to be treated with respect and love. Between walks, training, and check-ins, I'm pretty busy! But this is what I dedicated most of my time too, so it fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I love kicking things off with a Meet & Greet to bond with your pets and cover all the vital details before I walk them or do a drop in. You can expect regular check-ins filled with photos and videos so you never miss a beat! I make it a point to learn your pet's routine, including health needs, meals, and favorite games. Plus, you can rest easy knowing safety is always a priority; I thoroughly check all walking gear and leashes before we ever step out the door. I also work on their manners not rushing out the door so they are always safe (an open door doesn't mean a free for all). And as a bonus, I like to work on some light obedience!

About: I’ve been doing pet sitting for over 3 years & have experience in all types of animals & am familiar with giving medication if needed. My main goal is to always ensure that your pet is cared for 100% and that you come back to a clean environment. Will also bring in/take out trash, water plants & bring in mail. I currently work part time so this leaves me with time to spend caring for animals. I am currently available for morning visits from 8am -10am Afternoons 12-3pm Pm 4-7pm Can also do overnight visits on weekends if needed. When I am caring for an animal at a clinics home I always make sure to ask for any information or their routine with their pup. Not only to ensure that I am doing everything right & that needs to be done for your pup but to keep your pup in their routine. This will allow me to get familiar with the feeding, walking, etc. Safety of your pup and your home is my top priority & I ensure this by always making sure to close all doors/windows in your home & set alarm if needed
