About: I’ve had all sorts of pets, (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc) since I was a kid and love seeing each of their unique personalities shine. I spent a few years working at a veterinary clinic and have become very comfortable reading and interacting with many types of pets. I work part time and have a flexible schedule during the work day. I’m able to stop by for a check-in, a playdate, or a walk. I take good care of my home and pets and will do the same for you. I also take pictures of before, during and after so you have a good idea of how your place and pets are doing.
“Kimberly was amazing! Just moved to the area and was nervous about finding a new sitter for a cat that recently became a solo cat but Kimberly eased all anxieties. Super communicative, timely, and considerate. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

I have a deep love and respect for our furry companions, so be assured that your pet is in loving and caring hands! My skills include feeding and watering, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m curious, dependable, enthusiastic, and eager to continue learning and developing my animal-care and husbandry skills!

In my experience, providing daily walks and enrichment along with a safe and familiar place to return to keeps a pup happy and healthy!

“Vicky is incredibly kind and responsible. She took care of my dogs for three weeks while I was away, keeping me updated daily with texts and pictures, which allowed me to fully enjoy my trip.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have owned and cared for many different pets over the years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of temperaments and needs. I'm a responsible, reliable student here in Pasadena, working to help support myself through school, and I take that responsibility seriously when it comes to caring for someone else's pet too. Whether it's a daily walk or watching your house and pets while you're away, I show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your animals like my own. I'd love to be your go-to sitter. I'm a full-time student, so pet care fits naturally around my class and research schedule rather than competing with a 9-to-5. I have reliable open blocks most weekdays for walks and check-ins, plus wide-open evenings and weekends for overnight house sitting. I'm also happy to be flexible if your schedule changes last minute. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I treat it like my own. I follow your instructions on locks, alarms, feeding, and routines exactly, I don't have guests over, and I keep a close eye on the house the whole time I'm there. On walks, I always keep dogs leashed near roads and double check collars and harnesses before heading out.
About: Hi there! I’m so excited to help care for your furry family members. As a lifelong animal lover and dog parent (having raised two wonderful dogs of my own), I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets.

I am particularly experienced and comfortable working with pets who experience anxiety, have special medical needs, or require precise medication administration. When your pet is with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home and have a flexible daily routine. With the exception of an occasional zoom meeting, I can be by your pup’s side. I live in a 3 story townhouse with the main living space on the 3rd floor. Dogs can go wherever I am, and I can carry them up/down stairs if needed. I will treat them as if they were my own pup 😃

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have spent the past 11 years with my two dogs, a Pit Bull mix and a Jack Russell Terrier. I’m very experienced with walking, bathing, and caring for dogs, and I consider my own dogs part of my family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every dog with love, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own. I’m excited to turn my love for dogs into something I can do every day while providing reliable, caring service to your furry family members! I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week, except for Mondays, and I’m also available on weekends. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I offer dog walking and pet sitting, but I don’t offer boarding since I have two dogs of my own. In my own home, my two dogs have access to a dog door and a spacious backyard where they can play and enjoy themselves. They’re also welcome to sleep in my room because I love having them close to me. I’m very attentive and affectionate with my dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and approach them gently so they don’t feel nervous or overwhelmed. I would respect their boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and maintain their usual routines. I would also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and love. My goal is to make every dog feel as happy, safe, and loved as they do at home.
“Jacqueline was a pleasure to have take care of our fur babies. We appreciate her communication with us and all the pictures she sent. Not one day did we have to worry if our babies were ok. Maybe just the first day because we didn’t know what to expect. We have one really shy cat and we were worried she wouldn’t eat or come out of hiding but she did really great with her. She even played with them. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you.”

I’m open to pet care mostly anytime. I am in between jobs and pursuing my career in Human Resources, so I am happy to help with pets. When I have watched family/friends pets in their home, I follow the instructions left for me. I love taking pictures of pets too, so you’ll receive lots of pictures.
“Alex is wonderful! We’ve never left our “kids” with anyone other than family before and feel so lucky to have found her. In our initial meet and greet Alex put us completely at ease; her experience as a vet tech gave us confidence even before it became obvious how much she loves animals. She was very communicative through. All around a great experience! Thank you, Alex!”

Im currently working part time and doing school full time, mainly online. With this I have time to spare doing what | love; working with animals. My schedule is open, every other Saturday I do have to be at the nearly Fire Station due to being a Fire Explorer.

If there were to be specific instructions left by the owners, I would try to accurately meet their accommodations.

Was wonderfully comforting having Caroline take care of our pets while we were out of town – she was attentive and thoughtful about all of their care, including playtime! Loved getting her photos and videos with the updates each day – made me happy to know someone so in tune was there with them.
Tiffany is very thoughtful and sweet with my two weirdos! She stayed overtime to make sure they ate properly, also helped me take care of the house when I was gone. Of course she’s very responsive and communicative. Tiffany goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Tiffany to help again!
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Joli has been amazing from the first message, to her check in and pictures, to leaving our home in better order than she found it, to communicating to schedule more visits. I was really looking for someone who was not just great with my boys, but also demonstrated professionalism, accountability and that I could find trustworthy of handling the responsibility of caring for my babies. Joli has been the sitter I was hoping for! Thank you so much, Joli, for helping me have peace of mind for much needed time away! Looking forward to having you stay with the boys for many more trips!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
