Cat Sitting in Fernwood

About: Born and raised in Pacific Palisades. Grew up with every pet. Treat animals like I treat my children with love, kindness, fun, safety and structure. 6 years of professional large pack mountain hiking. I am a professional dog walker and mom. I pet sit when requested if it fits with both mine and the clients needs. Typically once a month. I only pet sit at other people’s homes. I am very good at following directions so that animals needs are met and communicating with owners.

“Kendyl is great at what she goes from start to finish. She really cares about the pets she watches like they're her own. My pets really enjoy her as a sitter. I highly recommend her.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover from a family of animal lovers and with 13 years in animal rescue, I’m the person who always rescues animals in need, especially from high-kill shelters. Pets are family to me. After my two babies passed, I now professionally sit and foster. I believe each pet has a unique spirit, and I’d love to meet yours. I also practice animal communication and healing, helping pets feel less anxious. Alongside my rescue work, I run a trauma healing and mental health non-profit, creating programs to help individuals heal and reclaim their lives. I’m a writer, work from home, and am passionate about holistic health, music, travel, and nature. Your pets will receive compassionate care from someone who truly loves and understands them. I have animal friends from all over the world. I work from home and at my own schedule. Flexible availability any time or day of the week. I will do whatever is expected to make your animal feel safe, appreciated; and in their routine. Each animal has different needs and I respect this while having a strong knowledge of animal behavior.

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life. My parents have two miniature schnauzers and one Doberman that I was the main caretaker for when I lived there. One of the schnauzers is in a diaper and the other is on a special diet for her kidneys. That being said I can help take care of dogs with special instructions for their care. I can also take care of larger dogs as my Doberman is my best friend. I help my family and my friends families, walk their dogs and I’m around dogs quite often. I try to nanny during the week so my schedule is pretty free, especially in the mornings and early afternoons. I love to go on walks in general both morning and evening so I can fit pet around most schedules. I am in an apartment but across the street there is a dog park that rarely gets used. It’s not super busy around me so going on walks is easy. I also don’t mind going to your home and will leave it mess free.

“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”

About: As an avid outdoors lover, I bring a unique perspective to pet care, especially for dogs who enjoy hiking and exploring, or the couch potato pup that loves relaxing by the couch. My experience extends beyond traditional pet sitting to include care for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, goats, reptiles, and even invertebrates like spiders. What sets me apart is my ability to tailor care to each animal's specific needs, providing specialized senior care, or simply ensuring that every pet gets the exercise and attention they deserve. With me, your pets will not only be well looked after but also have the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and all it has to offer. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets under my care. With a fenced yard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to roam and play under supervision. My friendly pug and two cat companions create a warm and social atmosphere, ensuring your pet feels right at home. If needed, I am equipped to accommodate special requests such as crating your dog for their comfort and security. Whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are paramount, and I prioritize creating an environment where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for at all times.

About: We have both grown up with animals and have been caring for pets our entire lives. We currently have three pets of our own, so we understand the level of care, attention, and love that animals truly need to feel safe and comfortable. We know firsthand how stressful it can be to find reliable, trustworthy pet care, especially when balancing work and busy schedules, which is why we’re passionate about providing a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, along with additional unfenced space on our property, allowing for plenty of supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We also have the space to comfortably keep dogs separated if needed, giving each pet their own area while still receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their specific needs and routine. One of us works from home full-time, while the other works part-time as a personal trainer and is typically only away for about an hour at a time. This allows us to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time for walks, play, and individualized care. We provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. Our dogs are friendly and love playtime with other dogs, creating a fun and engaging environment for social pets. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore, and get their energy out. We have experience managing multiple pets and can easily separate dogs if needed, giving each pet their own space while still ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care. Our dogs are crate trained and comfortable using their crates, and we’re happy to incorporate crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. We strongly believe in following each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate time or not, we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. We prioritize safety at all times, closely supervise interactions, and tailor care to each pet’s needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free, home-like environment where your pet is treated like part of the family.

“Marianna was a dream to have as a pet sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of, happy and enriched. She didn’t just feed them and leave, she stayed to make sure they had cuddles and extra play time. She also was on time and very communicative. We would be honored to have Marianna watch our fur babies again in the future.”

“It was a pleasure having Stephanie check in on Mr. Kimchi! She great about providing pictures with updates and was prompt with her communication.”

Kevin J.

“Gianna did an incredible job watching our three cats and we have now found a new permanent cat sitter! She did an excellent job updating us on the cats and sending a lot of pictures that eased our mind while away on vacation. If you want to travel without the struggle of worrying about your pets, Gianna is for you!”

Ryan M.

“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”

Aileen P.

“Kiyarash was awesome! He responds super quickly and it was easy to set up a meet and greet. He gave great updates and sent photos of both of our cats. We will be using him for our future needs!!”

Jizelle F.

“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

Leslie

“We highly recommend Oksana. We were nervous because we were leaving our cats for the first time, and they are very skitty kitties. But when we came home after our 6 day trip it was obvious they were well cared for. There was fresh water in their bowls, the litter was clean, and there was food in their dishes. They came to greet us right away, which shows us that they didn't feel abandoned in any way. Oksana's communication throughout our stay was prompt and direct - she checked in every day and posted photos for us to keep track. We felt very assured knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you, Oksana!”

Stephanie K.

“Thank you so much for all the sweet care shown to my pup! very communicative and kind. Thanks again!”

About: I have lived with big dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes. I’ve always said that I love animals more than humans. I’ve also fostered many dogs from shelters.☺️ I’ve recently moved from Canada (Montréal) to Calabasas for my husband job . So I’m home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule 🐕💍 Honestly, I just love being around animals. I spend a lot of time with them (at home, at the dog Park or the shelter) I pay attention to their personality and energy, because every pet is different. My goal is really for them to feel safe when you’re away!

“So glad to have Aurelie back to drop in on our kitty when we had a last-minute family emergency away from home. Really wonderful to know we can count on her!”

Natalie R.

“Aimi took care of Bubbles and Julian on short notice and kept us well posted on their time while we were away. She brought some mail in and was super responsive. She’ll be our regular sitter from now on!”

About: I have responsibly cared for animals since childhood and throughout my adulthood. Growing up my family home was always open to new pets - cats, dogs, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, you name it! There I learned the skills required to care for an animal of any temperament, I learned to adapt their unique needs and to help them feel safe and secure in your absence. I have years of experience as a trustworthy pet owner and caretaker of dogs and cats of all ages. I promise to care for your pet reliably, mindfully, and intuitively, pulling from years of developed expertise to ensure your emotional ease and their comfort and wellbeing. I have been building my business app-free but now I’m so happy to offer my services to fellow animal lovers through Rover. I love what I do, I’m flexible to your schedule, and I hope to offer you peace of mind (and lots of pictures upon request) knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home and my hours are flexible so I am able to provide your pet with the 24/7 care and attention they need. I live in a one bedroom apartment, if I am caring for your pet in my own space I have plenty of room for your pet to play. I love to be outside and am available for walks at any hour of the day.
