Pet Sitting 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.

“Sonjia is absolutely fantastic! We thought our dogs would take naps after we left the house and left them with her but instead they played for almost the entire time we were gone. That’s a testament to how much they immediately liked her! It’s scary to leave our babies with someone new, especially with our puppy having some health issues but Sonjia immediately made us feel at ease and her expertise and confidence with animals/dogs was instantly apparent. So glad to have found her!!”

“Laura was great with our two cats, she was consistent and took plenty of photos. She even worked through an issue with our door lock to make sure our cats were taken care of”

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.

“Wouldn’t recommend or trust anyone else but Diana to watch our fur babies! They can both be a little high maintenance in their own ways and Diana went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for while we were away. She communicated frequently and sent cute photos! We’re thankful to Diana and can’t wait her to book her next time we need assistance for Eazy & Onyx!”

About: I have a deep love for animals & was privileged to grow up with a dog that lived till 16!! I have had experience with both puppies & senior dogs! I will find any chance to pet a dog walking by & any excuse to spend time with any animal!! I am currently in university but I am free every day of the week after 1pm! My classes start at 11:30 so I need to go to a house to feed the pets or take them on a walk before 11:30 I can certainly do so! weekends are a bit more tricky but I can work around any schedule:) I currently don’t have any pets at home but I have a big front yard & backyard which are both gated, but regardless your pet will be under my supervision!!

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.

“Tory is such a sweet person! She has taken great care of my kitty! Her pictures were awesome!! ??”

About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 dogs since I was 8 and for the past few years during my time at home I’ve been dog sitting around the Pasadena area! I am an absolute dog lover, I cannot imagine life without a furry friend around :) I’m a recent graduate who just moved back home to the Altadena area. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with what’s best for you and your dogs needs :) I plan on caring for your pets just as well as you would yours. Ensuring the safety of your pets by being attentive to all their needs. If I am needed for a visit I will take your pet out for walks and feed them as needed. I will love your fur baby just as much as I love my own!

About: I have not cared for any dogs for long but I am happy to learn, grow, and develop to help care for your pets. I am open to learning new skills that will show the most care and love for your pet. I am currently working and have school but I am happy to care for you pets. I typically finish work at 9 am so any time after that I would be happy to come help you. Normally I care for pets in my clients home and make sure that the pets are receiving constant care.

I want the pets I care for to be safe, comfortable, and loved and bring peace of mind to their owners.

“Thank you so much Alicia! She is always my go-to cat sitter for almost a year now and she’s gotten to know my two kitties super well! She did an amazing job and went above and beyond with handling any issues that came up, such as cleaning up after one of my cats broke something or there were issues with the auto feeder. She always sends the cutest photos of them with detailed updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving my kitties in her capable hands while I was away on vacation.”

About: As an experienced dog owner, I love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While I specialize in large breeds and high-energy working dogs who need confident handling and structured exercise, I am equally attentive, gentle, and patient with medium and small dogs. No matter the size, your pup is in safe, capable hands. As a flexible local professional, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I manage my own schedule, I am out and about in the LA area every day, making it easy to accommodate prompt drop-ins and structured walks when you need them most. My routine is highly active, which is perfect for high-energy working breeds that need consistent, timely mid-day exercise to break up their day. At the same time, my flexibility allows me to easily tailor my schedule for smaller or senior dogs who need dedicated, calm potty breaks and attention. Whether you need a regular weekly schedule or occasional check-ins, I build my days around ensuring your pets get consistent, reliable, and on-time care. When caring for your pets, my absolute priority is safety, structural consistency, and clear communication. For Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I tailor every visit to your dog's specific size, energy level, and temperament. For large or high-energy breeds, I focus on confident leash handling, maintaining their established training commands, and giving them a robust, engaging workout to burn off steam safely. For medium and smaller dogs, I adjust the pace to ensure a comfortable, stress-free stroll or focused playtime. For House Sitting (In Your Home): I respect your space entirely and keep your dog’s exact home routine intact to prevent any separation anxiety. I ensure they are fed on time, kept on their regular potty schedule, and given plenty of attention. You will receive regular check-ins and high-quality photo updates during every single service so you always have total peace of mind.

“Having Mike take care of our cats has made us feel at ease when going on trips. Cats are well taken care of, happy with the company, and we get lots of pictures with the updates. Thanks again, Mike!”
