Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Glenwood

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. As a little kid, I would spend hours at my aunt’s house playing with her dogs — my mom would even have to come call me so I’d finally go home! Growing up, I had many different types of pets, but the one thing I always dreamed of having was a dog of my own. I begged my parents for years, and when I finally got my first dog at 13 years old, he instantly became my whole world. From a very young age, I was always the person friends and family trusted with their pets. I watched a friend’s cat while they were away and even cared for my school’s bunny for an entire day! Later on, when I moved to Sydney, Australia, I volunteered at an animal rescue center and spent the next 10 years pet sitting for both dogs and cats — something I truly loved and felt very passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I recently lost my own beloved senior dog, so I deeply understand the gentle, specialized care, and massive amount of love older pets need in their golden years. Because of this, I’m incredibly comfortable monitoring their comfort, administering medication, and making sure they feel entirely safe and relaxed while you are away. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. <3 Since I’m currently home full-time, I have a super flexible schedule with plenty of open availability Monday through Sunday, so I can easily fit into your pet's regular daily routine without a problem. Whether you need a consistent daily walker while you're at work, or last-minute drop-in visits because something popped up, I’m around and ready to step in whenever you need an extra hand." In Your Home: When I come by for drop-ins or to pick up your dog, I treat your home with total respect. I always make sure doors are securely locked, keys are safely stored, and your home is exactly how you left it. Plus, I love giving cats and dogs lots of love, refreshing their water, and making sure they are comfy before I leave. Out on Walks: Safety is everything when we are out on an adventure. I always keep dogs securely on-leash, stay highly aware of our surroundings, and steer clear of any unpredictable situations or unfamiliar dogs. Keeping You Posted: I know how hard it is to be away, so I always send a quick update and some cute photos during or right after my visit. You'll never have to wonder how they are doing!

“I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter than Mindy! She went over and beyond taking care of my cat while I was away. I booked relatively last minute and had a few late adjustments to my travel plans but Mindy was very understanding and flexible. She provided plenty of updates during her visits and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat’s well-being. I had a great experience with Mindy and would absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: I am a work at home artist who adores animals of all kinds. My partner, Shaila, and I live downtown in the Fremont St.// Arts District. We have an energetic little nugget named Kenzo, who absolutely LOVES people and dogs. I will be with your pet at all times - taking attentive, sensitive, and extra-special care of them as if they were my own, and providing them with tons of cuddles! I have had dogs my entire life, and have lots of experience (and patience!) with rescues, seniors, and dogs with special needs. Special dietary needs//medical needs are more than welcomed! Typically, Kenzo goes for a walk first thing in the morning, has a midday walk, an evening walk, and goes out one last time before bed. If your pup needs to adhere to a different routine, we will be happy to accommodate :) Shaila and I are both active and enjoy cycling, running, hiking, etc., and pups are more than welcomed to join us if they need lots of physical activity! If they are older, or like to spend their days just hanging out in the sun, Kenzo will make a great lounge partner. There is plenty of down time around here as well. We have direct access to a shared enclosed patio area where Kenzo loves to run and chase her toys around, and there is a large rooftop deck upstairs that is fun for both dogs and humans! If there is anything you have questions about that I haven't mentioned, feel free to shoot me a message and ask away! We look forward to hearing from you!

About: All dogs have different personalities and I enjoy getting to know each one. I’ve been trusted to dogsit for friends and family over the years and for our time together I definitely treat them as if they’re my own. My time is flexible and I’m available most days of the week. I have a part-time job that has a varied schedule but I’m always open to communicate time slots that could work for both our schedules. I do my best to keep a keen eye on the whereabouts and curiosities the pet may get into. I make sure that I stay on track for any dietary conditions that are provided and if approved, give treats when necessary.

“Shay takes the best care of my 2 cats! She sends detailed updates and makes sure all are happy and healthy. Also leaves the place tidy which is greatly appreciate. A very kind & trustworthy sitter!”

About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.

“Tamar is a special treat for your fur baby! Dudley is my 16-year nine month old senior, and she gave him the best care while I was on my 4 day get-away. She went above and beyond my expectations. I hesitate to say Tamar definitely will be my back-up for Dudley, because she may be overbooked!! 😃 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I've been training and handling dogs of all ages and breeds for several years. Friends and family frequently rely on me for help, and ask for advice on training and dealing with problem behavior. I'm a full-time student and have other obligations besides, like most of us, but my schedule and availabilities are consistent and can often be adjusted. I have a medical background, am a veteran and psychology student, and have always had a deep love for animals. All of this to say that I've learned, either from instruction or personal research, how to care for different species and specific breeds.

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

About: I’ve always had a dog in the family growing up so i have experience walking and taking care of them. I love Animals with a passion and would be happy to walk with your precious family members because dogs are family members as well I’m currently working and my schedule changes from morning shifts to night shifts but i would be able to work around it with a heads up. i have a dog of my own and walk her mornings and nights as it is so it wouldn’t be hard to find time I would care for pets the way you would care for a child. i have a secure place to have doggy’s in my home. But for the most part i will be walking with your fur babies

“Madeline was fantastic! My cats are very anti-social/feral and Madeline managed to charm some out for pets! The first time any sitter has managed that feat! Very attentive online and in person, I feel very confident booking her again.”

“Krista is amazing! She sent us updates and photos every day of our cat while we were out of town. Our cat is kind of shy so she built him a fort so he could feel safe which was pretty cool. I highly recommend Krista.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a small menagerie of pets. I also took care of my neighbors' dogs when they traveled. When I was 13, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned how to handle cats and dogs with different levels of socialization. As an adult, I adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety and later managed his other health issues as a senior. I also rescued a feral kitten from the street and then foster failed with another kitten. So if your pet is a rescue and/or nervous around strangers, I will be sure to treat them with extra patience and care. I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm available for both one-time and recurring care for your pets. I would love to make their care part of my routine! It is important that your pet feels safe and like their routine is minimally interrupted while in my care. While I may be a new face, I will be sure to stick to your instructions regarding their routine.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I provide walks, playtime, medication when needed, and lots of affection. I always follow each pet’s routine and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, spend a lot of time outdoors, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and daily routines, while keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages.

About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.

“Neha came more than asked and sent lots of photos and videos of our pup while we were away”
