House Sitting in Irwindale

“Joyce did a great job with Bellini. She regularly sent me images and updates on my pet's behavior throughout my time away. Communicative, reliable, and an obvious pet lover - I felt confident my cat and my home were in good hands during my vacation. I'll definitely be working with Joyce again in the future. 5 star recommend!!”

“Tasha did a great job. The cats appeared to be well cared for and relaxed when we came home. She stayed in contact with is and sent many photos. All three of our cats are on pills, and she was able to handle that too. She left the house spotless as well. We will definitely rebook with her if she is available next time.”

About: I am a veterinary student that has experience with small animal medicine and care. I focus on quality care and animal safety. My background also includes wildlife care for animals such as pythons, red-tailed hawks, and monkeys (so if I can take care of diets and husbandry of an alligator I’m sure I can take care of your “crazy” chihuahua). As a former veterinary technician, I am well-versed in care for dogs and cats especially those pets with fluctuating moods. My experience in both veterinary school and in hospital settings allows me to provide the upmost care for your pet while making sure they feel safe and secure. I am currently on summer break allowing me to work part-time and full-time depending on driving distance to your residence. I am use to early mornings and late nights in boarding care from my hospital experiences. When it comes to house sits and drop-ins, I sync my schedule during my stay to yours to ensure your pet feels as comfortable as possible with reduced anxiety. Please let me know the best way to accommodate for your pet! I have extensive knowledge and experience with small animal husbandry and have taken courses on small animal behavior such as “Animal Welfare.” I am fear free certified (a method used in some hospitals to help reduce the stress and overall improve the health of your pet) and understand the need for gentle, patient care.

“Evie is an excellent dog sitter! She was very informative and sent lots of helpful updates and pictures, so I was confidant Penny was in good hands. Definitely will book with Evie again.”

“Alisia and John did a great job taking care of our cat, they followed instructions, and are so sweet. Our cat is particularly wiggly, but they were able to administer her medicine daily without issue. We were so glad they could watch our gal while we were away.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was 6 years old (goldfish, bunny, cats, dogs), and my love for animals hasn’t dimmed. During the times in my life I haven’t had my own pets, I’ve taken care of my friends’ pets (cats, dogs) while they went out of town. I’m experienced with caring for elderly dogs with special meds/dietary requirements as well, so just let me know what your pet needs and I’ll take care of it! I’m in the middle of a career change working on my own business, so I need an excuse to get out of the house/walk more. I have my own dogs as well (a small 13lb girl and a big 65lb boy!), but I’m always happy to meet new fur friends! I’ve done house visits for cats and house-sits for dogs! Just let me know the rules of the home, your pet’s habits/needs, where their food (and cleaning supplies) is, and relax!

About: From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets, knowing I’m patient, gentle, and genuinely enjoy their company. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just providing a calm presence, I’m always happy to give dogs the love and attention they deserve. I treat every pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work a fluctuating full-time schedule but I am happy to provide your pet with the love and attention they need on the days I am available! While caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I make sure they're fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise, playtime and affection they need.

About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs. The animals really like me. I know how to do good with them. I understand the restrictions of pet owners as I am a cat owner myself. I am a college student so my Summer schedule is free. Monday through sunday 7am-6pm. I am taking online classes so my schedule is free. Starting August is when my schedule changes. I make sure that I know everybody's feeding schedule and dietary needs. I have many cats and they all get along with each other. I

About: I absolutely love caring for all dogs in any shape and size during my life we’ve had German shepherds, Yorkies, Rotweilers and have taken care of so many more breeds and mixes. I love any dog with a personality. I truly want to help in any way I can to care for your pet. I will stick to any schedule you prefer for feedings, walking/running, playing, potty breaks, required medicine and any other special needs they may have. I can’t wait to meet your pets and help care for them! I am currently a full time college student enrolled in online courses. I could care for your pets at any time of day that is convenient for you and your pet. I will default to your safety measures and preferences when it comes to leashes, crates, routes to go on for walks/runs, medications of food safety.

“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”

About: My husband and I are fur parents to an energetic and sweet little Yorkshire terrier named Mia! She currently lives with my parents, which led to an empty house for us here in Duarte. We miss her dearly, but we’re happy she’s in great hands. Having Mia has taught us the importance of supervision and flexibility with fur babies, ensuring they feel safe, nurtured, and loved. Plus, with either of us always at home, your dog will never feel alone in our care! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because either my husband or I are always at home. This allows us to provide consistent attention and care to the pets we look after. Whether it’s taking them for a walk, playing, or simply ensuring they’re comfortable and happy, we have the flexibility to meet their needs throughout the day. I live with my husband in a clean, spacious apartment within a dog-friendly residence that includes walking areas, a gated dog park, and a safe neighborhood. Pets staying with me enjoy a comfortable, secure, and loving environment. You're always welcome to have a look inside to see where your pet will stay!

About: I have worked several jobs within the field of pet and animal welfare. I worked at a pet hotel for 6 months before joining a rescue for 2 years. Between those two jobs I have taken care of dogs with ages ranging between seniors and puppies and sizes ranging between Chihuahuas and Dobermans. In addition to caring for dogs I have been volunteering at ranches since I was 16 where I took care of horses and similar animals. Family and friends alike have trusted me over the years to care for their animals and homes and I always strive to care for them the best I can. I also currently own two dogs and a cat of my own so I’m well versed in caring for both cats and dogs alike. I’m always happy to meet new people and animals and can’t wait to take care of yours! I work as an instructional assistant at an elementary school and therefore have shorter work hours and summers off. This means that I have plenty of time to come take care of and play with your pups! I am free on weekends to house sit and weekdays after 2:30pm. During summer I am completely available all day and week to hang out with your pups. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of shade coming from both trees and a patio to keep your dogs cool. I have plenty of water available so they are hydrated and a plethora of toys for them to play with. I have also have extra crates available if you don’t have any and want to crate them. I keep the dogs on an indoor/outdoor schedule so they aren’t stuck outside all day and have plenty of time to play inside and relax. I’m also very flexible to how you run your house. If I’m staying at your place I will see to it that everything is cared for like you normally do.

About: I grew up around many domesticated animals my entire childhood, not just dogs but cats, fish, birds, hamsters, etc., to the point where I fondly referred to my childhood home as a zoo. My ability to care for those different animals have not disappeared; quite the contrary, it is constantly and consistently growing. I'm currently working at a veterinary clinic with hands-on experience in regards to the medical side of animal care, and I'm going to school to become a licensed vet tech as well. You can rest assured that your beloved babies will be in confident hands, and you can rest doubly if there are more complex instructions such as daily medication requirements. I'm confident and more than happy to go the extra mile to ensure your furry pal is well-loved and well-taken care of. Ask me any questions you may have, and I'll be more than happy to tell you! As mentioned before, I work at a vet clinic, so I have hands on experience working with the medical side of pet care. Not only that, but I've owned multiple pets of various species, with my current being a feisty little orange tabby. I know the basics, I know the specifics, and I can adjust as needed to meet unique needs. I am adaptable, and will always, always, adjust as needed to make my clients and their pets feel comfortable and at ease. New environments, new strangers in the house, are all stressful changes for a pet, and I know it takes extra time and care to detail to make sure everyone involved has a safe and happy time.

“Sara was awesome with our 9 year old Lab/Pit mix! I am so grateful! She did everything that was asked of her and more, took pictures and kept me updated on how our dog was doing. So grateful!!! I would definitely recommend her.”

“Samantha went above and beyond taking care of my cat and dog. My dog requires quite a bit of attention and she handled it extremely well while also watching over my apartment and respecting my things. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”

Michael M.

“We really appreciate Alex taking care of our Zero. We returned to find the house in perfect order and Zero calm. He’s not an easy dog to care for since he is blind and barely hears at nearly 15 years.”

About: It’s time to relax and enjoy your time while you’re away knowing your pets are safe, happy and well taken care off. Have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and happy You can plan your day, week, etc knowing your fur babies will be in good hands. I will definitely have plenty of time to spend with your pets and baby them, snuggle, a walk at the park and give them so much love… I don’t have a yard, I live in a condo but your pets will be safe from this crazy weather and will get walked several times a day.

“Veronica was incredible! She spoiled my dog on his birthday and proved she goes above and beyond for the pups she watches. She really helped me feel at ease while I was on vacation with my husband. She even cooked him a special meal for his birthday. I would trust her with my fur-son any day.”

About: Been a dog lover ever since I was small, and I love them so much that if I ever visit someone’s home, I usually greet their dog before them. Facts! I work a full time job at an Animal Emergency hospital but I do get three days off every week. Pet sitting would give me even more time to be around pets, even though that’s all I do at work as well. It’s important to know what they like and don’t like, what they can and cannot be around. Even the goodest boys and girls can get into mischief sometimes, as experience has shown me.

About: I am an experienced caretaker and longtime animal lover of all kinds. Ever since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by pets. To this day, I’m still here mingling with the animals. I’m currently in school for pet grooming as I work two part time jobs as a kennel attendant and a bather. Both professionally and unprofessionally, I have a collective 9 years or of experience in the animal industry. I am currently certified in dog first aid and CPR, have experience with farm animals (as well as domestic pets), and can administer medication. I have a gentle touch and a compassionate heart. I do school online asynchronously and work part time hours, so I am very flexible. If you ever want to know if I can fit you in, just send a message! I work closing shifts mostly, so I am available most mornings, early afternoons and evenings after 8pm. I am passionate about your pet’s comfort. my patience is unlimited and I am always willing to go the extra mile for your furry friend. It is my goal to create a positive, productive experience for your pet.
