Pet Sitting Gateway West

“He was very patient with Elio and spent a full two hours giving him time to get comfortable. Elio wasn’t quite comfortable enough to be leashed, but he did take treats from him and even played with his toy, which was great progress. I really appreciated that he didn’t rush him and let Elio warm up at his own pace. We’d definitely be happy to have him watch Elio again!”

“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Thank you, Marissa, for watching peach while I was away. Despite the last minute request, she was available and conveniently close by. Since this was the first time having her watch peach, we met beforehand so peach could meet her and I could explain care instructions. I could tell from the photos that peach was happy in her care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6 years and have worked with a wide variety of breeds with different personalities from family and friends! I’m always going the extra mile in learning more about a certain breed I’m unfamiliar with by doing extensive research on them and taking the time to work with the owner to understand their dog’s characteristics. I’m currently working hybrid as an Engineer and am available to walk your dogs and even check in on them Wednesday-Sundays anytime to accommodate your dog’s needs! I always treat my dog with the utmost respect and she always responds with the same respect right back. I’m always rewarding dogs for commands whether it be treats or positive reinforcement and I’m always portraying a positive and vibrant attitude towards them. When going on walks, I make sure to pay extra close attention to our surroundings and the dog’s body language. If they’re aloof and not responding to commands, I try to always stay calm, patient, persistence and reinforce positive behavior with treats or verbal praise towards them. While every dog is different, I try to adapt and be flexible with every dog’s needs and I try to stay consistent with my commands and behaviors depending on the owner’s requirements.

“Jeremy as always did a great job with my kitties. Sooo glad I picked him. I only needed him to come and feed my kitties and he actually did more. He took pictures, checked and cleaned the litter and checked to make sure there were enough water for them and also played with them to keep them company for a little bit. My kitties are normally shy and afraid to come out, but they were not afraid to come out and said hello to him. That warms my heart to know they're comfortable with him🥰.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

“Ajit is very kind and respectful. He takes the time to understand your needs, shows up on time, asks questions ahead of time to be prepared for the visit, and takes great care of your pup! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Today, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and I’ve also cared for larger animals like horses, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I spent five years working at a high-end, high-occupancy pet resort, where I cared for a large volume of dogs and cats in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care even in high-pressure situations. I genuinely love what I do, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets. I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I show up with patience, reliability, and real care every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, you’ve found the right person. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my love for animals is what inspires me to offer pet care for weekend trips and getaways! However, I have a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for early morning or late evening walks and check-ins on specific days during the weekdays. I care for both your pet and your home with a lot of respect and attention to detail. I’m big on cleanliness and keeping things in order, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also understand that accidents happen, and I’m always prepared to quickly clean up things like potty accidents or throw-up to keep your home clean and your pet comfortable. For walks, I’m extremely vigilant and safety-focused. I pay close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and your pet’s behavior at all times. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is secure, structured, and stress-free.

“Lauren was perfect for a quick check in! She was available on short notice which helped me a ton. She even walked him a bit on his potty break to get some extra energy out.”

“I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!”

“Chelsea was awesome with our cat and two senior dogs! She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent pictures as well! She made us feel at ease that they were well taken care of!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of responsibility and care to every pet I look after. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evenings, weekend, and holiday pet care. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my schedule. I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular photo updates throughout each visit. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.

“Holly is a true animal guardian. She takes care of my two cats with special medical needs, earning their love and trust to give insulin injections, syringe meds, and capsule meds. I always feel at ease when Holly takes care of my sweet boys. Thank you, Holly!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years My schedule is open for full availability, everyday of the week, early morning and late nights. I have a passion for caring and loving on pets. To be successful as a pet sitter, you should be knowledgeable of animal behavior and adept at caring for all kinds of pets. Ultimately, an outstanding pet sitter should be able to perform animal CPR as well as demonstrate excellent communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills. Make sure the environment is clean without any things on the floor for them to chew on or pick up. Have a schedule for eating sleeping and play time. I love taking dogs to prospect park I live about 15 mins away.
