Pet Sitting El Cerritos

“Sara was amazing at taking care of our four dogs while we were away. We felt so lucky knowing that they were in good hands. She went above and beyond to give them extra exercise and attention with each visit and she paid close attention to their needs, health, and medications. She provided wonderful updates with the best details for each check in. Thank you so much, Sara!”

About: I'm a caring, patient animal lover with hands-on experience training my own Aussie Shepherd, who was highly reactive when I got him. Through consistent, patient training, he's transformed — we now go on hikes and even trips to the mall together. That experience taught me how to read a dog's stress signals and adjust my approach to each individual's needs. I also work at a senior living community, where I spend my days building genuine connections with residents through active listening and personalized attention. Whether it's a person or a pet, I bring the same calm, consistent care — and I'd love to bring that same patience and attentiveness to your dog. I'm currently a Biology student at Miramar College working toward transferring to a four-year university, and I balance my coursework and lab hours with part-time work at a senior living community. Pet sitting/walking fits naturally into my routine — it gives me flexible income between classes and shifts while I explore internships in my field, and it's a great way to unwind from a full day of labs and studying. In a client's home, I focus on keeping things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible — feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits or triggers you let me know about. I'm observant and patient, so I pay close attention to body language and adjust my approach if a pet seems anxious or unsure of me at first. My experience working with seniors has also sharpened my ability to read subtle cues and respond calmly, which carries over well into how I handle animals who need a little extra reassurance.

“David was super communicative and punctual! Did great with our dogs, especially the one who is weary of men. Thanks David!”

“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”

About: I have had experience caring for dogs throughout my life. I had two dogs of my own for 17 years, which gave me many years of experience and of course giving them lots of love and attention. I have also spent many years around many of my family members pets and have helped care for them when needed. Also, I have helped neighbors and roommates with their dogs while they were away by making sure they were fed, cared for, and given attention. Most of my experience has come from caring for dogs belonging to people I know, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. I work full-time, but I’m available evenings and weekends. I can also provide daily check-ins during the week to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine and make sure they have plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe.

About: I have about six years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my neighbors’ dogs and cats. I have also cared for an older dog, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. I currently have a Rottweiler, French Bulldog, and cat of my own, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different pets and their individual needs. I’m currently only in school! Tues-Thursday class: 12:30-4:45. Wednesday: 3-6:15. Outside those times I’m fully available! I do like to enjoy my weekend nights but I can work around it!! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they are in my care. I can crate dogs when needed, follow specific feeding schedules, clean up after them, and provide walks and playtime based on their needs. I always make sure doors, gates, backyards, and other potential escape routes are secure. I also keep a clean, calm environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous to leave my pup home while I was states away. Dana was wonderful and so reliable! Would definitely recommend :)”

“Tara is amazing! Taking care of our sweet bubs while we went out of town for the weekend. Tara kept us updated with playtimes, and potty times as well as sending the cutest photos. On top of all that our sweet boy took an instant liking to Tara and we couldn’t be happier. A great communicator and very professional- we are definitely going to have Tara as our #1 to watch our pup from now on!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats all my life! I have 2 years of professional experience & over 10 years of personal experience with pets of all ages. Very comfortable with anxious/disabled/senior pets who need specific care/diet/medication. I have a flexible schedule. If your pets can’t be left alone for long hours during the day, I can adjust my schedule to accommodate that! I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routine in the place they know best. I’ll provide lots of love, playtime, walks, meals, fresh water, and any special care they need while treating your home with respect. I'll also send regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are cared for while you’re away!

“Maricela was amazing… from being on time to attending to my furry family and just in general everything, her communication was top notch… everything… 10/10 I would hire again in a heartbeat…”

About: Lifelong dog lover with lots of experience! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I grew up with a golden poodle and absolutely adore dogs. There a lifelong best friend. As a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m free most of the week and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’ve been dog sitting for years and truly love caring for every pup I meet. I treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and walks while making sure they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶🤍

“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: No matter what age your pet is, I have some form of experience with them ranging from walking, feeding, bathing, and at times medical care. I've owned both big and small dogs, and my priority is keeping them safe and happy. I'm currently a student so I'll be working around my class schedule. I'm available in the morning M/W, and late-morning and afternoons T/Th/F. I'm up for scheduling on weekends as well! I'll always make sure your home stays clean while taking care of your pet(s). While making sure your pet is taken care of, I'll do my best to make sure they don't get into any trouble and no mess is left behind.

About: Doggy Mama of 10 years for my sweet Wheaten Terrier, Suki! I have been with her for all stages of life: curious puppy, energetic teenager, and mellow adult. This has taught me how to adjust towards whatever needs your pet may have. No matter the attention your furry friend needs— whether it be downtime and cuddles, or zoomies and long walks— I am here to provide! I can administer medication, and will easily adapt to the schedule/routine that your pet requires. I am a sophomore student at San Diego State University, majoring in Criminal Justice. I have classes Monday-Thursday starting at 12:00pm and ending by 4:00pm. I live on campus and have a car so transportation is not an issue. I am able to pet sit at anytime throughout the week that I don’t have classes- and am willing to stay over night and/or through the weekends. Caring for your companion will vary depending on personality and routine but there are definitely some core principles that I carry with me. First one being respect— respect of your home, respect of your animals needs and wants, and respect of your time. I will be present as much as I can be, even if that means just sitting in the same room as them. Another core value, depending on your pet, is exercise. It doesn’t matter if it’s a long walk, a short and slow walk, or even just interacting with toys— something that gets them moving and keeps them entertained. And a big one is love, I promise to absolutely adore your animal and show them kindness in whatever ways they need. That could look like self care: brushing their coat, massaging stiff joints. That could look like affection: rubbing on them, talking to them, and making sure they know i’m here for them. And that could also mean giving them space. Any adjustment that I can make to give you and your pet a smooth experience, I would love to do.

About: I have the most experience with adult and senior dogs. My dog is 11 years old and she’s had numerous medications prescribed to her, so giving medicine to animals is not a problem. I currently work Monday through Friday 8:30-3:30, but can come to your home to care for your animal and house right after I get off work. On the weekends, I have open availability. I will let animals out to use the restroom every 2 hours and follow all instructions left for me. I will cuddle with them if they allow me to do so because that’s my favorite part!

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 been caring for animals for many years and am the proud cat mom of two cats, Bandit and Luna. Through caring for my own pets, I've gained experience with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, monitoring health concerns, cleaning litter boxes, and providing enrichment and playtime. Friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after a member of your family. Whether your pet loves attention and playtime or prefers a calmer approach, I'm happy to adapt to their needs and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I work full-time during the week, but I make pet care a priority before and after work as well as on weekends. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks around my work schedule and will always communicate my availability clearly. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and consistent so pets can maintain their routines while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions before every visit.

“Great sitter”
