Pet Sitting Grand Central

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.

“Bertha did an amazing job taking care of my puppy, Ammi! She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Ammi looked so happy and well cared for when I got back. I highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”

“What a gem of a personality!!!!! I feel so grateful to have met Paula - I was anxious about finding someone to come into my home but I feel so much more at peace after meeting Paula. Incredibly kind and genuine. I know that she is a true animal lover and a good person with a kind heart. Definitely will be continuing my connection with her for care for my pup.”

About: I’m a caring and responsible person who loves all animals. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but between a full time job and traveling I wouldn’t want to leave my dog alone for so long. So for now I get my dog fix by hanging out with everyone else’s! Over the years I’ve watched and walked my friends dogs. I’ve mostly cared for small to medium sized dogs, but open to meeting larger dogs too! I’ve taken care of dogs with different personalities. Bean, my longest fury friend who I’ve watched grow up for about 4 years, feeding him, walking him and giving him attention when he wanted it. I’ve enjoyed the many hours we’ve spent just sitting on the couch watching tv together. I’ve also watched energetic dogs like Squid, who is my coworkers dog and let me tell you, he loves attention! If you don’t give it to him, he will keep barking at you. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. Like my cousins adorable dog Ketchup, who loves naps and walks. There was a weekend where I had to take care of him while my cousin was away. They had him on a schedule. I had to make sure he received his medications at certain times, took him out for small walks, and fed him at certain times. I’ve also cared for Dandy, who was also a senior dog that had walking issues. I would put her in a wagon to take her outside so that she could enjoy some fresh air. It was my friend’s family dog and she would let me take Dandy to work with me so that she wasn’t home alone. I would put a blanket next to my desk so that she could relax on. She was such a sweet dog! Wether your dog wants to go out for a walk, play or just cuddle on the couch, I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own dog. Until I’m ready to become a dog mom, I’m happy to become the neighborhood dog auntie! I’m currently working a full time job during the week, but available all day on Saturday and Sunday to walk your dog or dogs. I’ll take good care of your dog on our walks. I’ll make sure to keep a good distance from other dogs. If the ground is too hot to walk your dog, I will recommend scheduling in the evening when the ground becomes cooler so that they don’t burn their paws. If you would like photos of your dog while we are on a walk, I would be happy to provide photos.

“Jackie was amazing and went above and beyond for Percy. Highly recommend!”

About: When I was younger, I often looked after my neighbors’ dogs, and my grandmother also had dogs. I’ve always loved spending time with animals — walking, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m calm, patient, and truly enjoy caring for pets like they’re part of the family. If you need to go somewhere, I can take care of your pet at your home or at mine. I’m flexible — I can visit in the evenings or walk your pet when you’re busy. If you’re worried about your pet, I can send you photos and videos and stay in touch at all times. I speak a little English, and I’m fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish. I always do my best to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pet.

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.

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’m Anton. I have been surrounded by animal care my entire life, growing up, my mom was a professional pet sitter, so managing, feeding, and loving animals is second nature to me. Through our family home, I grew up directly caring for cats and birds. My family also frequently opened our doors to babysit, sit, and walk dogs for our friends and neighbors. I will be the sole caretaker for all pets. I currently own a wonderful 10-year-old cat that I adopted from a shelter, so I deeply understand the patience, routine, and dedicated love it takes to care for a pet. Because my local daily schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adjust my routine to focus entirely on your pet's specific care and feeding windows. focus on keeping your pet relaxed in their own environment by respecting their space, and ensuring your home is treated with care so they feel secure.

“Alisa was amazing! She came through with a last minute booking request and was very flexible. She took great care of Tootie (our cat) and even went the extra mile to take care of a pesky ant problem.”
