Dog Walking East Central

About: I've cared for cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two cats of my own. For years I've been the go-to sitter for family, friends, and co-workers, who trust me with everything from feeding and walks to medication and senior pet care. I send photo updates, stick to your pet's routine, and treat your pets like my own. I work freelance, so my schedule is flexible and I can easily work around your travel plans. Plus, I have lots of time, energy, and love to give your furry friends. I'm cautious, meticulous, and follow instructions to a T. I triple-check doors and windows, keep your vet's info handy, and stick to your pet's feeding and medication schedule. Their safety and happiness are my number one priority.

About: Like many pet lovers know, animals have a good radar for caring people. Often animals approach me, because they know I pay attention and feel safe. I also work very well with senior pets and those needing medical care. I am an educator, researcher and program evaluator, who works from home a couple times a week. I teach educators, high school, and college students. I conduct research on well-being and school success. Furthermore I evaluate health and educational programs. I am a published author and lead a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting student mental health and success. I believe that pets will indicate their wants preferences and needs. Furthermore, I also believe that pet owners, for the most part, are most informed on the best way to keep their animals happy and healthy. Therefore I always follow the lead of pet owners and make sure to establish a secure relationship with the animals I have the honor of working with.

“Natalia is extremely communicative and responsible! I can tell she really cares about my animals and it makes me feel so comfortable trusting my animals in her care.”

About: Howdy! I absolutely adore dogs and have been around them my entire life! I started to help care for dogs around 2009/2010 when my family adopted a sweet little Corgi from the pound (her name was Twinkie). As for our current pets, my wife and I recently said goodbye to our first baby, Bucky, a Rottweiler-Shepherd mix. We rescued him from a shelter in Mexico and had six beautiful years together. Bucky gave us fantastic experience with a larger dog. During our time with Bucky, we brought in two more pups into our household, Goosey and Franky - two pugs we got as puppies. So we are also VERY familiar with puppy care and strict feeding/bathroom schedules. We have an enclosed side yard, and are more than happy on giving your pet all the exercise they need. We live very close (2 blocks away) to ACCESS Emergency Vet here in Pasadena so we are also prepared for any emergency. Rest assured, your pup will be in very good hands. If you have any questions at all feel free to send me a message! We are looking forward to meeting you :) My wife and I both work from home full-time, so it is guaranteed at least one of us will be home with your pup at any given moment! We have an enclosed side yard, can administer oral medication if needed, have plenty of room inside for your pup to play, and we welcome them on the couch or bed if they are comfortable with that :)

About: *NOTICE* Rude behavior and hateful language, including pricing disputes, will NOT be tolerated before, during or after stays. Last minute service requests will not be accepted, and I will also not respond to text or call spamming through the app. I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a stay request if this happens. Please be respectful to Rover’s sitters. I am used to working with dogs of all ages and sizes; I currently own a mischievous dachshund mix and a year old tabby cat. Past care and house sitting experience includes: monitoring the dog/cat's overall health and administering any medication, replenishing food and water accordingly, going out for walks, having playtime, and cleaning messes (if any were made in the house or outside). Depending on the age and physical condition of the dog, I'm comfortable walking or running on any terrain with it. I can also work on a flexible schedule with my clients, i.e. planning around their family, work schedule, vacation time, etc. In emergency situations involving the client's dog, I will contact the client immediately, as well as the closest vet clinic. Please let me know in advance if your pet suffers any serious conditions, such as arthritis, epilepsy, heart/kidney issues, etc., and I will help them accordingly. As or right now, I work from home. During a drop in visit, I stay with the pets most of the time, only stepping out to run errands. In the case of an overnight stay, I sleep over and keep an eye on all pets in the home. I have experience crating dogs, and will keep certain rooms off limits per owner’s request. Please let me know if your dog isn’t allowed to go in a certain area of the backyard for any reason. I can work on a flexible schedule with my clients, i.e. planning around their family, work schedule, vacation time, etc. At this time, I work remotely, and won't leave pets alone for longer than 4 hours at a time. During a drop in visit, I stay with the pets most of the time, only stepping out to run errands. In the case of an overnight stay, I sleep over and keep an eye on all pets in the home. As a courtesy, I leave my own dog at home in the care of my roommates. She's still training to be socialized with other dogs. My schedule is flexible at this time. I have remote work, and can easily connect with my job as long as an internet is stable. I will stay with the pets overnight for long term stays, and drop in for at least an hour during the day as requested through booking. Safety is my top priority; names and numbers of close contacts (neighbors, relatives, friends, etc.) and vet clinic information are greatly appreciated. I do not distribute this information outside of my job out of respect for privacy. I currently work from home, and run 1-2 errands during the day. If your dog has special needs, i.e. medicine schedule, mobility issues, etc., let me know immediately and I will accommodate your pet as necessary. During overnight stays, I will be in the client’s home with the pets. This helps calm separation anxiety and ensures the home’s safety. For drop in visits, I will only stay up to an hour to walk the dog(s) and make sure they have food, water and medicine if need be.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

About: I have had multiple dogs for 30 thirty years and seen them from eight weeks old until their last breath. My dogs get an outing every day, in addition to a neighborhood leash walk. Your dog will love our forays into nature and their special afternoon sniff-walks. I prefer to have a meet&greet prior to boarding. We have a fully fenced yard and a dog door. I take the dogs on a nature hike each morning. The dogs and I visit the trails in Pasadena and La Canada. Breakfast is post-hike and is followed by sunbathing or lounging. Often, there is un-scheduled barking at the mail carrier. Each evening, we go around the our block, allowing for lots of sniffs at the most frequented dog message boards. Dinner is followed by more lounging. Grooming (nail trims and baths) occur as needed. Our property is fully fenced and there is a dog door leading to the back yard. If our visitor is not familiar with dog door usage, that's ok. I am available for frequent potty trips to the backyard. However, uninitiated dogs are usually eager to learn the ways of the dog door and we provide gentle encouragement. It's really quite fun to watch a dog learn the feeling of freedom provided by a dog door. I am also experienced giving (or applying) medication and with special diets. Senior dogs are welcome. I understand the slower-but-still-high-quality-of-life needs of an older pet.

About: I have two ginger cats adopted since they just born in wild, raised them from smaller than my palm to now adorable adults, they get alone well with all animals. I’m sensitive at details, could easily feel the emotions or sickness of a cat. I’m currently working as part-times, and I love stay at home that have a lot of time playing with you cats ;) My off day routine is cleaning also going to parks fishing. My apartment are clean and neat, has a sunshine roof loft that gives cats or dogs enough sun and activities. And I recently had a 2nd bed room could exclusive for your pet. Each one will has their own potty and exclusive food on your request. One of my cat is like a golden retriever, love to play and cuddle with all animals, super chill even he got hit by other cats ;)

About: I’m a loving, trustworthy sitter that cares about your fur babies. I have 8 years experience with both cats, pups and a combination of the two. I’m a surrogate house mom to 4 fun loving pups most days, and I’m looking to add some additional scratches and pets to my day. I typically hangout with them at their home in fenced gated properties. On rare occasions I will board a pup that I’ve known for some time.

About: I provide reliable dog walking and drop-in/cat sitting services in Pasadena area, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities. I’m comfortable handling medication (oral, mixed with food, etc.). What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and respectful of each pet’s routine. I take time to understand their personality and adjust whether that means longer, active walks for dogs or calm, low-stress visits for cats who prefer their space. With that said, meet and greet is required for every dog and cat. I offer: - Dog walking tailored to energy level and routine (30min/1h walks; dog park runs) - Cat drop-in visits and sitting - Medication feeding and special instructions - Regular updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind. I work from home full time, have lots of time to stay with your dog and cat at home. I do potty walks every ~3-4 hours and longer walks twice a day. Crate is necessary for not house trained dog. I allow dogs on furniture but not in bed. Lots of toys to share with and occasional treats are provided

About: I love dogs… of all kinds! That’s an understatement. My boy is Sailor, the Siberian Husky you see in my profile. The other two dogs—Bokee & Penny—are my friend’s dogs that I dog-sit for whenever I’m needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with any breed. Your furry friend will love hanging out with Auntie Tamara. I work for myself so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies. From feeding to walking to bathing to chilling, your pup and I will be the best of friends. In terms of my house, I have a yard with high walls so Sailor doesn’t even try to go anywhere unless it’s with me. When taking care of my friend’s dogs, they entrust me with their house key so I can come over and watch over the pups (even when they’re older, they’re always puppies in my eyes). When you ask me to dog-sit for you in your home, you can trust me to treat your space with the utmost respect. Same goes for the fur babies. They’re always in good hands with Auntie Tamara.
