Pet Sitting Highland Park

“Lori was wonderful! She is super communicative and flexible. I felt immediately my cat was in good hands. He has stomach cancer and takes a regiment of medications and Lori picked it up so fast. I would definitely recommend and rebook Lori the next time. Thank you!!”

“Angelique was so helpful and patient. My dog is on crate rest and isn't a lot of fun to sit for right now. Angelique basically sat by her side for the entire visit.”

“MT was a fantastic care taker for my two cats! They were timely, attentive, easily managed all instructions I shared and (bonus!) took amazing photos of “the boys”. MT is just an all-around pleasure to work with and I came home to two very happy animals!”

About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would

“Emily was so easy to work with - we had a prep visit and she offered to track all the instructions herself, which I really appreciated. Then when we were gone, our power went out and she was so sweet & willing to find our breaker box to reset it. Our cats loved her, she sent so many fun pictures that made us feel like our babies were happy & safe. Highly recommend - goes above & beyond!”

“Stephanie was great. We have a new dog who has special needs and severe separation anxiety, and Stephanie was caring, attentive, and patient. Will absolutely hire her again.”

About: I grew up in a house full of pets, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and just keeping them company, I know what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and comfortable. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some backyard fetch, or just a trusted person to check in on them, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own pets. You can count on me for clear communication, photo updates, and a happy dog when you get home! Since I work part time, my schedule is flexible and I can easily fit your dog’s needs into my day. Whether it’s a midday walk, morning drop-in, or evening care, I can work around the routine your pup is already used to. I like to keep dogs on their normal schedule as much as possible — same feeding times, same walk routes if they have a favorite, and plenty of play and attention in between. I’m active and outdoors a lot, so your dog will get real exercise, not just a quick lap around the block. You can expect prompt communication, photo updates during every visit, and a happy, tired pup when you get home. Caring for pets responsibly is second nature to me. At home, I walk my dog daily and keep her on a strict feeding regimen, and I also give her daily medication — so I’m comfortable handling dogs that need medications or have specific care routines. When caring for your dog, my top priority is making sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that’s in your home or on a walk. I’ll follow your instructions exactly, from feeding schedules to house rules, because you know your pup best. I always keep dogs leashed and secure outdoors, watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort, and keep you updated so you have total peace of mind. Every dog gets the individual attention and care they need to feel right at home.

“William was fantastic caring for our cats! He was easy to coordinate with and it obvious how much he cared for the cats. I am sure they will miss him!”

About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

“Sara is the best!!! She is such a thoughtful and considerate cat sitter. Our foster cats have opened up even more under her care while we're out of town. It's comforting to know they have someone so loving with great attention to detail looking after them. Thank you Sara!”

Rainbeau T.

“Chelsea took great care of Sora played with her! Sora was such a happy pup in all the photos she sent! I highly recommend Chelsea as your future rover! Great at communication and updates! Thank you again Chelsea for your time and love for Sora! 🫶🏽”

“Thank you so much for rolling with the punches on this one! Always a relief when you can check on the lads, especially in such unfortunate circumstances”

“Aries is truly the best! I went on a long trip and my cat got stomach issue right before I left. She truly took close care for him and no problem giving him scheduled medicine and my cat recovered in few days. Much appreciate her love and care for my cat and my cat loves her too! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Izzy, a life long dog lover. I was lucky enough to grow up with two chocolate labs, Charlie Brown and Hodgepodge and am currently raising Kayla, a senior rescue dog. Kayla came into my life reactive and anxious, but I have proudly helped her grow into a relaxed and confident dog who can play nicely with other dogs. I have years of part time dog walking under my belt and can work with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I'm active and energetic so ready to take your dog on long walks through parks and hilly streets! My schedule is super flexible so I'm happy to work around you and your desired walk times. I can also stay over at your place for overnight dog sitting. I am organized, bright and detail oriented, so if you give me instructions for care in your home, I'm on it. I have experience with senior dogs (administering pills, etc), reactive dogs, and puppies. Above all, I am clean, caring and respectful to all people and animals!

About: Growing up I have had a total of 9 dogs and all of them stole a piece of my heart. I would love to the opportunity to spend time with your dog because they sincerely make me happy. I work from home and have a 1 bedroom apartment in Highland park with an enclosed grassy area and a few nearby parks. A day with me would probably involve working from home, going to the park, running errands around town, hanging out at home or all of the above. I will care for your fur baby like I would my own, with lots of love. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pet care is integrated seamlessly into my day, allowing me to give dogs the attention and care they need. I can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and bathroom breaks throughout the day, making sure their routine stays consistent. Being home all day means I’m always nearby to offer companionship, comfort, and attention, so they’ll never feel alone. This flexibility also lets me closely monitor their behavior and adjust care as needed, whether they’re feeling energetic and ready for play or need some downtime to rest. Plus, since I'm always around, I can respond quickly to any needs or changes that arise, ensuring they feel safe and cared for at all times. I live in a one-bedroom cozy apartment with my small dog Scruff. We have a fenced in grass area for potty breaks. :) I can crate your dog if needed as well.

“If you're looking for someone to care for your cat like family, look no further!! You'll be lucky if you get to hire her. Big Rig (known affectionately as Iggy) is probably a lot like your cat. In other words, he's not just a cat—he's a furry little personality with opinions, routines, and a very specific standard of service. Kenya met all his demands. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat who clearly had not spent the weekend plotting my demise for abandonning him with a stranger. That's a huge success in cat-owner terms. From the moment I met Kenya for a "meet and greet," I knew Iggy was in caring and capable hands. Kenya immediately appreciated Iggy's quirks, respected his boundaries, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Big Rig was safe, comfortable, and cared for allowed me to actually enjoy my trip instead of worrying about what kind of chaos a bored feline genius might be creating at home. Kind, reliable, thoughtful—I couldn't ask for a better person to look after Iggy. Five stars from me, and if Big Rig could write reviews himself, he'd probably give six.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have all of summer available! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays, weekends, including holidays! I’m available from early in the AM to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 2pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.

“This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter. Katherine was so great through this process. She definitely cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would love to book her again!”

About: I grew up with a Jack Russell terrier and have had cats since college (15 years). I am a resident with a flexible schedule. I love dogs, but unfortunately cannot have one of my own just yet and would love to fill my dog shaped hole in my heart with playing with and caring for other pups in the meantime! I am very flexible with my schedule and I am very good at communicating any changes that may need to be made. I have a cat at home. I have a lot of respect for other people’s spaces and would love to care for your pup in the way you see fit! I hope to be able to have a dog in a few years when I finish residency and intend to treat my responsibility as a walker/sitter in the best way as I would hope my future walker/sitter will too.

“Brandi was absolutely amazing! We’re new kitten parents, so we were a bit anxious about leaving our babes with someone new, but she went above and beyond from the very first visit. She kept us updated every check-in, sent multiple photos, and took such wonderful care of them. We could tell they felt safe, loved, and totally comfortable with her. We’re so grateful for Brandi and would 100% book with her again!”
