House Sitting Duarte

“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child, which gave me an early appreciation for the companionship, care, and attention pets need. I currently have three cats, ranging from 2 to 6 years old, and I adopted each of them when they were young kittens at around 2-3 months old. Caring for them from kittenhood into adulthood has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and caring for multiple pets at once. I’m also comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient and willing to give them the time and space they need to feel safe. I can follow detailed care instructions closely and have experience giving oral medication when needed. I love spending quality time with animals, whether that means playing with them, going on a walk, giving them treats, keeping them company, or simply sitting nearby so they feel comfortable. I treat pets like family and will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m often able to accommodate short-notice requests and can also plan ahead for longer visits or pet-sitting needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep their schedule consistent while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your pet’s familiar environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, treats, basic grooming, medication as instructed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide and do my best to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I understand that some pets may be shy or need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and happy to let them approach at their own pace.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs (and cats!) my entire life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors and friends since 2016, and have taken care of animals since I was 7. I’ve bathed, fed, and walked so many dogs that I can’t keep track of all of them! I’ve raised puppies and have attended basic puppy training classes with them, and one summer I took care of ten dogs at a time after my cousin’s dog had a litter of puppies. When my senior dog reached old age I also became familiar with giving her medicine, and making sure she felt loved and cared for. I currently have two dogs, and a large black cat named roomba. I love dogs & cats no matter the age, and am excited to provide your baby the love and company they deserve ❤️ I’m available mostly anytime! I work part time on Fridays, but my schedule is flexible :) make sure to message me to double check my availability, but I’m generally free whenever :) I can take care of your babies however you need. I can take them outside to play fetch, feed them, change their water, change a puppy pad, clean a litter box, play inside with them, etc. If you have a puppy I might even be able to teach them to sit or lie down, depending on how comfortable they are with me :) I’m familiar with animals’ body language and will make sure to give them all the space they need to warm up to me, as I know meeting someone new can be intimidating for little ones.

“Sonia took care of our almost 100 lb. retriever, who is not easy (several surgeries for "indiscriminate eating" and food aggressive), for a week and came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a tidy house. Sonia provided photos and updates every day and was very conscientious and responsible. We will work with her again!”

“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our flat-coat retriever Piper. She sent us daily photos of Piper on a walk or enjoying her play time, and was always prompt in responding to inquiries. Our favorite photo was Piper sprawled out on Laura's lap looking up at her lovingly. She left our home spotless to boot! We would welcome her back as a sitter in a heartbeat.”

About: With over 30 years of personal experience caring for my own cats and a history of looking after friends' dogs while they travel, I know exactly how much love, attention, and peace of mind your pets need when you can't be there.Whether it's maintaining your cat's specific daily routine or ensuring your pup gets their necessary exercise and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide safe, reliable, and deeply affectionate care. I am a recent retiree and home full-time, which makes me an ideal sitter for kittens and cats, or a walker for puppies, seniors, or dogs needing extra attention. Caring for pets requires maintaining their routines and ensuring a safe environment, whether I am walking them or performing home visits. I tailor my approach around strict safety and clear communication.I send photo updates and message logs to give you peace of mind while you are away.

“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”

“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I am excellent at taking care of dogs and cats and will treat your pet as if it were my own. I am willing to stay in your home if needed, but if you are only needing walks I already walk every day and night so the company would be wonderful. If your animal has special needs to be taken care of I will not hesitate to tend to them as you wish. I will always follow your instructions and will always check in with you as much as you need me to. I know you cherish your pet and I will always cherish your pet as much as you do. I am currently working a full-time job, however it is only 12 minutes away from Azusa, CA and I can come home on my lunch break to take care of your pet. I will make sure with the walks that your dog is safe by walking on the opposite side of the street if a dog is coming close. If your dog has a medical issue I will make sure that walks are shorter if you wish.

“Caleb was amazing! I was nice to be out of the country and feel like my dogs were really being taken care of. He sent daily updates that helped knowing everything was going well. Our dogs did much better staying home in their environment.”

About: I've been around pets of all kinds (dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, crabs, birds) growing up. I've dog sat through college for friends and though couldn't have my own (due to apt living), have always been the classic auntie for my pals' pets! I do a great job with play/rest/cuddle care, hygiene (poop scooping/pee on pads or outdoors), and food/treats (that align with their diets/needs). I work remotely from home, but have a lot of flexibility and so love going out on walks/adventures myself. So visiting other fur pals sounds like it's right up my alleyway whether it's in a gap break between work needs and/or before or after work. Whether in your home or mine, I'm fully aware that your pet is their own full of own history/needs/comforts/safetys/fears too and so I practice having a really curious and calm posture that allows them to ease in. I'm master of the waiting game (you can ask my human nieces/nephews, they get tired of repetition/waiting before me) and so love creating a space that your pet can ease into and enjoy with of course a routine/structure that works for them (which is given by you). I love it!

About: I used to volunteer at animal shelters throughout high school and pet sit for family friends. I am currently an animal science major so I know a lot about pets and how to care for them. I make it my mission to treat every animal I see like my own and show nothing but love and comfort. I am currently a student in college as well as an after school leader at an elementary school. I only go to school 2 days a week but those days i have closed off for certain services. Mondays I am only out of my home from 2-4 and Wednesdays from 2:30-6. Other than those days and time I am completely available for your fur baby. I do offer dog walking and drop ins everyday, but only around certain times. I will have plenty of time to play around with your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I tend to go on walks daily so dog walking fits perfectly. I have a fenced yard and a big backyard for the times I care for pets at my home. I have 2 small dogs, 1 keeps to herself and is very calm, the other is very playful and likes to run around with other dogs. However it is very easy to separate my fur babies from yours if you aren’t comfortable with other dogs. I have 2 sides to my house and can keep them on opposite sides. I am close to several dog parks as well and in case of emergency close to a veterinary clinic. I am very careful with instructions if there is any special needs your pets have. I always make sure the pets I look after are happy and well taken care of.

“Zoey went above and beyond taking care of my dog, Peppa, giving her extra care and comfort during our city’s fireworks show. Right off the bat when we first met Zoey we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm, friendly, and trustworthy and was great with our Peppa.”

“Mina was happy and healthy when I came home. Viky always gives me peace of mind through clear communication, sending pictures and texts. The house was also quite fine. 10/10. Will absolutely book again.”

“Courtney got along so well with our dogs, Snack and Tuna, and made us feel totally stress free leaving them for our vacation. She sent amazing, regular updates (even on a busy holiday) and we came home to happy dogs and a super well-kept house. We’re so glad we found Courtney!”

“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”

About: We’re a fun, family home with lots of love to give! Your pup will enjoy playtime, snuggles, and a cozy environment where they’re treated like one of our own. I believe in gentle care, clear communication and making sure you feel comfortable while you’re away Because I work part-time and my husband works from home, there is consistent supervision in our house. Pet care easily fits into our daily rhythm. we’re already used to giving lots of love and attention. Feedings when scheduled.Your pet would be part of our normal family life, not left alone for long stretches. In our home, pets become part of our family’s daily routine. I keep feeding schedules consistent with what they’re used to, provide supervised playtime, outdoor patio breaks, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and social or shy and need a quieter space. Safety is very important to me, so all interactions with my children and our cat are gentle and supervised, and pets are never left outside unattended. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

About: Have experience mainly with bully breed type dogs 100lbs & under as well as cats, lizards, & fish. My experiences have been mainly with rescues. I have helped find loving homes for dogs as well as caring for and rehoming cats. Everyday is a learning experience and enjoy creating bonds with new fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted with reasonable scheduling and communication (usually a week advanced notice is preferred). I typically make time to walk my pets in the early mornings/late afternoons/nights and allow the dogs to roam the yard or come relax inside as they please and depending on weather conditions. I would prefer to have pets (especially dogs) to become familiar with me first before we consider boarding them with me. I can accommodate inhouse crate/private room or outdoor crate/private gated kennel for housing.

About: I live in Arcadia and have been in need of more things to do! I am a work from home dog mommy that’s had a dog to take care of ever since I was 10! I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd/maltipoo and while I do walk my dogs twice a day, I’m looking to walk more! I’m super flexible with my schedule as I work from home and any time. I can always work around you. I am also free on the weekends too! Weekly schedules are fine with me as well. I currently have 1 dog in my household and I take him out on 2 20-30 minute walks a day. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any special care requirements. I also keep the environment clean and safe by cleaning up after pets, monitoring their behavior for any signs of illness or stress, and ensuring they are comfortable and secure at all times. I understand that every pet is different so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routines to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I am a former Dog mom of an American bulldog for 13 years. I have pet sat for cats and dogs for over 15 years. I will take great care of your pets! I am very active and can walk your dog 3 to 4 times per day. I have a small yard with privacy hedges. I can’t wait to care for your pets! I am working from home and I’m available all day and evening to take care of your pets, feed, walk, and bathe if required. I have a very flexible schedule. I can crate your dog if needed but he or she is free to sleep on their bed in any room in my house. Pets are OK on the couch, if that is what you allow at your home. The couch is covered. I have a small yard with privacy hedges. I am close to many parks and trails to walk your dogs, and I’m very familiar with the San Gabriel and Los Angeles area for good places to walk your dogs. I had an American Bulldog for 13 years and cared for him as he aged with medications and treatments. I have cared for senior cats, kittens, and dogs of all ages. I love to run and can keep up with fast dogs. My house is very secure so if I am pet sitting a cat, you can trust that your kitty will be safe.
