Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In El Cerritos

“Brenda was great with my shy cat! Typically she doesn’t come out for sitters unless there’s food involved, but she came out for Brenda and played with her. Brenda tried many different toys and even brought some of her own to play with my cat. She sent me plenty of pictures of her for my piece of mind!”

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

“Nicole left a note summary after every visit which not many sitters do but i loved that touch and made me feel informed about my cat while i was gone. Highly recommend Nicole for her great communication and trustworthyness!”

About: My friends and neighbors count on me to check on and sit their animals, and I regularly walk my own pups with their neighborhood furry friends. I grew up with Rottweilers, and have embraced small dogs in recent years. I'm 6ft and 200lbs, and am comfortable with a variety of sizes of dogs. I currently have total flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help with pet care throughout the day. I'm just getting started on Rover, but I've been a dedicated pet parent for almost a decade and love the way it enriches my life. I'd be happy to extend the same level of care and understanding I give to my own pets to yours. I live with my two pups in a small condo complex, where I have an enclosed back patio and immediate access to a very walkable neighborhood. I am comfortable entering friends' homes and allowing the animals to acclimate at their own pace, and am just as happy taking pets for walks as I am keeping them company in their own homes.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My own dog is now a senior and can't enjoy the long walks and hikes we used to take together, so I'd love the opportunity to spend that time with other dogs who still enjoy those adventures. I've been caring for neighbors', family friends', and relatives' dogs since I was young, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I've also helped with puppy training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I'm flexible, dependable, and detail-oriented. Whether your dog needs a strict routine followed closely or a customized schedule based on their individual needs, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care. My goal is to treat every dog like my own and give owners peace of mind while they're away. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I work part-time both from home and at a local coffee shop, but my shifts are typically only about four hours long. This makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. For house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I take time to build trust and make sure they feel secure while you are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.

“Sara was amazing with our cats! She went above and beyond with watching them and making sure they were well taken care of and spent time playing with them so they wouldn’t get bored. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.

About: I have grown up with pets and trained my own puppies since I was a little kid. I have lots of experience house and pet sitting. I love and care about animals and will take great care of your pets! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because since I have been away at school, I have missed my pets tremendously. At home, I provided constant food and water, lots of attention, and walked my dogs every single day. I miss taking care of them and having animals around. Since I can not have pets of my own at college, I wish to take care of your pets. I care for pets by spending lots of time with them. Pets deserve love and attention. Keeping them fed and making sure their water is always full. Providing medicine when they need it. Letting them outside to use the bathroom. And providing walks for dogs daily.

“Jessica was wonderful! She took the time to come by for a meet and greet before the scheduled drop in visits, which gave our three dogs a chance to get to know her. She also provided great pictures and updates while we were away! Will reach out again in the future.”

“Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!”

About: What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take my time to make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I treat each pet like they’re my own and make sure they get not just the basics, but genuine care, affection, and attention. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and consistent every time. I am currently with a lot of free time, trying to stay active and what better way to go for walks than with a dog. I’m very attentive, patient, and reliable. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during every visit.

About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I can remember and have taken an active role in their care from a young age. Over the years, friends and family have frequently trusted me to pet sit for them, giving me experience with a variety of animals and personalities. My experience includes feeding, bathing, walking pets, administering medication, and taking them outside for potty breaks. In my free time, I also foster animals through the San Diego Humane Society, which has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love providing them with attention, playtime, companionship, and a safe, caring environment while their owners are away. I go to college here in San Diego and love to spend my extra time caring for pups and pets. I am free most days and can be extremely flexible. I am happy to follow whatever care routine works best for you and your pets to help them feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, extended companionship, or overnight care, I am flexible and willing to accommodate their needs. I love spending quality time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Above all, your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”

“We couldn’t have found a better sitter! Tara was super friendly, helpful and made us feel very secure during our trip that our 3 doggies were in good hands. Tara was patient with one our anxious dogs and he loved her! She helped give meds and injections to our other dog and made them all feel loved and not alone. Our doggies were happy in all the pictures and updates Tara sent and she left detailed notes on each visit. Beyond grateful finding Tara and will def book for future trips we have planned. Thank you so much again!!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of pets for friends and family. My parents have a dog named Sunny who I’ve helped care for, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention and care based on their individual needs. I treat every pet like family and always make sure to follow routines and instructions carefully. “I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.” currently only offer dog walking and drop-in visits, not overnight pet sitting or in-home boarding. During walks and visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while following any instructions or routines from the owner. I’ve also helped care for my family dog, Sunny, whenever I visit my hometown, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and giving dogs positive attention and exercise.

“Savannah is the most responsible and caring pet sitter we’ve ever had! She has taken care of our cat twice now and we love getting updates on him while we’re away. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter, we highly recommend her.”
