Pet Sitting Countryside San Pedro

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including managing multiple dogs in my own home. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs—including large and giant breeds. Dog Preferences & Handling Notes: For safety and physical health reasons, I am not able to accommodate: heavy leash pullers, highly dog-reactive dogs, dogs with a history of lunging/dragging handlers, or multiple large high-energy dogs requiring significant physical restraint. I’m best matched with: leash-trained dogs, senior dogs, lower-to-moderate energy dogs, gentle giant breeds, and dogs with solid walking manners. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for both your pets and me. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of calm, confident handling. I take a thoughtful, no-drama approach to pet care—dogs tend to settle quickly in my environment. I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for each visit. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in your home environment, where your dog is most comfortable and secure. I do not offer boarding in my home. I’ve found that dogs do best when they can stay in their own space with their familiar routine, scents, and surroundings. For safety, I only accept dogs that are well-managed, non-aggressive, and manageable on leash. I’m not a good fit for dogs with a history of biting, high reactivity, or uncontrolled behavior. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress experience for each dog while maintaining clear communication with owners. Attention to detail when it comes to pet care is paramount.

“Alex did a great job letting our pups out and hanging out with them while we were away, you can tell how much he truly loves animals by the care he took hanging out with them outside while they ran around.”

“Another stress-free visit from Mikelah! She does such an amazing job and it’s nice to know that your pup is being well cared for while you’re away from home. I’ve used her for multiple drop-in visits now and I only have glowing reviews to share. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

Jaclyn S.

“Pat was wonderful! She loved my babies and kept us up to date on how they were doing. I trust her and would highly recommend her to others. We will definitely be using Pat again on our next trip!”

Lindsey M.

“This is the 2nd time Tim has taken care of our pups & I can not say enough about him! For years our family has not taken any trips all together because of worrying about our pets. At least one of us would have to stay back with them. Now that we’ve found someone that we can trust we can FINALLY all go together as a whole family! I am so grateful to Tim & the memories I’ve been able to make with my grandchildren! Tim is so kind & patient with our emotionally high maintenance dogs. In the past, no one could even get our bulldog to come out of his crate if we weren’t here & our rescue pup is terrified of everyone outside of our family but in a short period of time Tim had completely won them over. They absolutely love him! Tim is professional, reliable & excellent at giving updates with photos. I really appreciate him & everything that he does for our family! I will definitely be asking him for his help again in the future!”

Sherri S.

“She took very good care of our fur babies. She sends pictures and updates of what’s being done. Very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend using her.”

Tawny S.

“Repeat Rover client for Brittney. I always feel like my doggos are in good hands with her. Great pictures and written summeries of her visits.”

Valerie V.

“Very grateful for Courtney. My kitty is not the most pleasant but I’m glad she was able to provide company to her. Very communicative and flexible.”

Luz V.

“I have five fur babies, three are totally comfortable with sitters, but two are adopted puppies who came from abusive situations. Even at two years old and with training, they are still very hesitant around new people. Samuel has been incredibly patient, taking the time to meet with them multiple times and working at their pace to help them feel safe and comfortable, especially knowing he’ll be pet sitting for a full week. He has been gracious, calm, and understanding in every interaction, and his positive outlook toward the dogs—even with their standoffish nature—has meant so much to me. It’s clear he truly cares about animals and understands their individual needs. I would 100% recommend Samuel for any pet sitting or drop-in visits and feel completely confident leaving my pets in his care.”

Anysa G.

“Consummate professional with a preternatural ability to care for pets! We are beyond happy with the work Courtney did for us with our cat. She was communicative and prompt, and our cat responded so well to her kind presence! Thanks, Courtney.”

Kristina N.

“Emilie did a fantastic job of caring for our cats Cooper and CJ while we were gone. She was extra patient with our blind 16 year old kitty who requires a little extra attention and medication. She arrived as scheduled, followed all our instructions, and the cats seemed very happy when we got home. I recommend Emilie and would not hesitate to use her again.”

Juli B.

“Thank you Kristin for taking care of our pups this weekend! It’s refreshing knowing that they are in great care when we leave for the weekend.”

Wes P.

“Wonderful dog sitter! Caring, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I highly recommend and will definitely book again.”

Romy S.

“Did great with Johnny and took great care of him while I was at work!”

Jenny C.

“Jenna was an absolutely lovely sitter to our little Pearl, who liked her a lot and took to her from the get-go. She’s very professional yet friendly, very responsible, and reliable. We hope to keep working with her in any other occasion we might need Pearl taken care of, as we’re extremely pleased with her.”

Caly Q.

“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

Valerie V.

“Matt was awesome! He was super communicative about how our pets were doing and was able to come at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had an emergency.”

About: For years I have dog sat for family, friends and coworkers. I just love pets, I’m kind of crazy about them. I’m looking to expand my doggie adventures with nice walks and plenty of exercise. I’m also available for drop ins and overnight stays. I work near the airport, so I also pet sit in the Stone Oak/Hollywood Park area. I’m currently working full time for an engineering firm, Monday through Friday. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays pretty much all day. I’ll be available a few days during the week, but after 5 pm and maybe during lunch (depending on distance). I won’t be offering boarding services, but I do have three pets. My dog is 7, two cats are 9 and 5. My dog, Sadie Girl, loves taking walks and people watching. So, I will definitely care for your pets as if they were mine.

About: I've always had dogs and cats growing up and have been caring for them since I was a tiny human; walking dogs that are bigger than me, bottle feeding a kitten, cleaning up after a litter of puppies, giving old puppers their medicines. I've been responsible for playing, walking, training and feeding the pets of my friends and family for years. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size. I'll be using your preferred cues/commands and plenty of pets/cuddles with your pupper for them to be super comfortable with me. Besides my Shepherd mix that always wants my attention, I have a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs! My availability is mostly open, just let me know when I can help. I take detailed notes off your instructions on your home and any special care needs, so, rest assured I'll make sure your dog is always safe and happy.

“Justice is always great with Gizmo and was sure to send me plenty of photos of him during his visit. Gizmo is partial to men and he definitely enjoys Justice's company. Justice makes my nervous boy feel at ease when I am out of town. He is definitely one of the best sitters and one of the few men in my area offering pet sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great sitter! ”
