House Sitting in Hermosa Beach

About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. At five years old, I was already outside caring for stray cats and dogs in Macedonia. That early instinct to protect and advocate for animals shaped the direction of my life and career. I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant with over 1000 hours of veterinary experience and currently I am studying animal physiology. I am pursuing my dream on going to veterinary school. Would love to take care of your pet! I worked as a veterinary assistant at VCA Coast, where I supported medical care for both cats and dogs in a clinical setting. I am experienced with anxious, reactive, and stressed pets, and I understand how to approach them with patience and calm handling. I am also comfortable caring for senior animals and pets with additional medical needs. I am currently a student at UCLA studying animal physiology online for my veterinary school application. My schedule is open for the most part. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and providing you and your pet with an amazing experience! :) My clinical skills include nail trims, ear cleanings, and administering IV fluids. I am open to dog walking, dog and cat sitting overnight. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from MTSU and am currently preparing my veterinary school application.

“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet mama currently working from home, sharing my days with Bella, my spunky 16-year-old Chihuahua, and Cali, my fluffy 5-year-old Pomeranian mix. I recently said goodbye to my sweet 18-year-old cat, Bailey, and understand the deep bond we share with our furry friends. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding for pets of all kinds — both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable with any breed and especially patient with seniors or pets who need a little extra care. Whether it’s walking, feeding, cuddling, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply being there for your furry friend, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own — with love, attention, and lots of tail wags (or purrs). I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have the perfect opportunity to take a few breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with your pet. Whether it’s cuddling, playing, or simply giving them the attention they need, I’m happy to take a break from my screen. Plus, I love getting a little fresh air, so we can go for a walk, stretch our legs, or just enjoy the outdoors together. When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, you can trust that your pet will be in capable hands. I take time to follow your pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or ensuring they have plenty of playtime, I’m reliable and detail-oriented in every aspect of their care. I understand how important trust is when it comes to leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own pets. You can rest easy knowing that your pet is not just safe, but truly cared for.

“Morgan was absolutely AMAZING with our 1.5 year old corgi. She was so responsive to questions and check ins and such a great playmate for our puppy! She did lots of fun activities with her and our pup was a happy and tired girl when we got home. Thank you Morgan for being such a wonderful sitter and friend for our girl!”

“I highly recommend Reina! Reina is caring, kind, and has a natural ability to bond with and take care of pets. My small doggy who has separation anxiety had so much fun on her day with Reina and I felt calmer knowing Bloom was in good hands. My dog can be reactive and difficult to take on walks, and Reina handled it like a pro and was able to keep her safe. Reina is also great with details and very professional. Thank you, Reina, for taking such good care of Bloom!”

“Sam took great care of Summit and Noodle. She kept us informed with plenty of photos and they warmed to her very quickly. Would recommend and will book again.”

“Alexa did a wonderful job watching my pets! She was very communicative, kept my house clean, and it looked like my pets were having fun with her.”

Paige C.

“Liana took amazing care of our two high maintenance pooches-a senior and a teen who both need medications. They loved her and looked for her after she left. She sent regular pupdates with pictures, reassuring us and keeping us feeling connected while we were out of town. Will definitely book again!”

“Stephanie was great for our pup. She arrived on time and was great at communicating. We appreciated the frequent updates on our dog while we were out. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have cared for many different pets including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Animals have always been an important part of my life, so I’m very comfortable understanding their personalities and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away, whether that means feeding them, walking them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I always try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are gone. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m able to plan visits around my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding visits, and playtime during the week and weekends. I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to spend time with dogs in their home where they feel most comfortable, or bring them along with me so they have company and aren’t left alone. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime throughout the day.

About: I love dogs and have grown up with dogs around constantly! I have lots of experience walking my neighbors dogs as well as pet sitting in college! I am experienced in sitting and walking any size of dog and love to play with them as well! I am currently a graduate student at USC and love to walk dogs in my free time! I have class from 11:00 until 5:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as 11:00 until 2:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am always available Friday through Sunday, but don't hesitate to reach out for other days as my schedule can change! I have been using Rover while in college and I am very experienced staying at homes to take care of and play with dogs! Making sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment is really important to me!

“Jordan was wonderful with our pets. She was very responsive, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our pets were in good hands, and we truly appreciated her reliability and kindness.”

“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”

“Brittney was a dream! She watched our 1 year old dog dash who’s got some funny sleeping habits and she cared for him with some much love and patience! Took him round with her so he wasn’t lonely and even took him on a beach walk, all the things he’s loves to do with us :)) 10 out of 10 would recommend Brittney and she left the house exactly the way we left it!”

Jessica R.

“Angela was so amazing! She stayed with Murphy & was super attentive with walking and hanging out with him! She was on time & very communicative! She was so kind & respectful of our home, I felt so comfortable with her! Not only did Murphy love her, but I did as well! Highly recommend & we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We hired Jo to overnight dog-sit for us for a week long trip. It is always nerve-racking to hire someone we don't know to stay at our home with our fur babies. She was amazing with Benny and Picasso and sent lots of pictures/communications and was always very responsive. She followed my mile long instructions and the boys were so chill when we got home. It's comforting to have someone that can look after our pets in the comfort of their home. We feel fortunate to have found Jo and have already booked her for our next trip. She left our place spotless and even watered the plants (which I totally forgot about). We are grateful for the wonderful care our pups received!”

“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”

“Eva was awesome with our 3 dogs! She handled them all very well, even the one with anxiety. She even let our pug snuggle (and snore) and our golden lay on top of her on the bed! Highly recommend!”

Shani T.

“Kristin was amazing!! Our dogs loved being with her. They were so happy when we returned. She gave them lots of snuggles, treats, and love. Also, we returned to a very tidy and clean home. Thank you so much, Kristin! We will for sure hire you in the future!”
