Cat Sitting La Mirada

“Arika did an incredible job taking care of Orion, our cat while we were away for a week. She brushed him every day, brought interesting toys for him to try out, and gave him lots of amazing care and attention! She even sent pix and videos. She also did small details like bring in the mail and even asked if we needed plants to be watered. She ended up watering our garden boxes which kept our plants alive while we were away. We would highly recommend Arika! She is kind and very professional and we were so happy that our cat had such great care.”

About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Letting someone into your home take care of your oets is a nerve-racking experience. We are so grateful to have found Vy. She was very thorough on making sure she understood what our pets needs were before, even stopping by before the term started. She was a great communicator, letting us know every time she stopped by with photos and we felt like we were there real time in terms of updates. It really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time we head out of town!”

About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.

About: I’ve grown up raising 4 pugs and 2 labradors. I also used to volunteer at animal sanctuaries where I trained, played, walked, and cleaned after puppies/dogs. I’m currently a college student so my schedule is flexible (as long as I don’t have class). I do same day appointments and I am available all week. When caring for a pet at a client’s home, I’ll be sure to listen to clients instructions of what and what not to do. I will also respect the home as it is not mine.

“Once again Alexis saves the day by taking care of my 2 dogs. They love him. Thank you so much for taking care of them. When Alexis is taking care of my dogs I don’t have to worry about anything.. he communicates and takes pride in his job.”

“My dog has been struggling with a severe flea infestation, and my doctor said that flea exposure is a big no no for me. Layla has been patient with my dog (he’s touchy) and had thoroughly cleaned him of his fleas. There is a noticeable improvement in his mood and itching.”

About: I have 6 years of veterinary technician experience that includes feeding, bathing, administering medications, performing cpr, taking basic vitals and quickly acting in emergency situations. I am gentle with seniors and patient with young pets. I always carry my compassion with me in and out of the workplace. I currently work 4x10s at an ER/Specialty hospital and that allows me to have 3 extra days to care for and love on your pets while you're away. I have 3 rabbits that I change out their hay, feed at 7 am and 7pm sharp, make toys for mental stimulation, and keep them entertained with supervised free roam time. My 5 cats follow a similar schedule with scooping their litter daily, feeding them home cooked meals and playing with them using several different cat toys to keep them entertained. Finally, I have cared for countess patients each with gentle love and care to ensure their experience at the vet is the least intimidating it can be.

About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 7 years old. I had a husky mix growing up, a very active dog all black with a curly tail I'd walk regularly and keep active. I now have two small breed dogs. A chihuahua mix named Brownie that's just 8 lbs, rescued in 2015 and I have a Rat Terrier named Taco and he was rescued in March 2020, he's about 15 lbs. All their shots are up to date and they are neutered. I am an active runner/walker and I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks regularly/daily. I take them out for about 1 mile or more if we're going out on trails or more adventures. I've traveled with my dogs by plane and by car. I'm very comfortable with dogs! Love spending time with them. I've walked my dogs and others dogs now for years. I have a two active pups to play with should they wish but otherwise they're welcome to play and have fun how they wish. I love to let them have fun.

I love to give dogs the best cuddles and pets, oh and of course those belly rubs!!! I am currently a sahm. My kiddos go to school so it’s just me by myself all day until it’s time to pick them up.

About: I always used to say I wanted to be a Veterinarian since I can remember, but with life and all that comes with it, sadly I gave up that dream. However, just because being a Veterinarian didn't work out didn't mean I have given up on my care and love for animals. I have been lucky in being able to care for many cats and dogs in my life time. From tiny new born kittens to a senior dog in her last days, I have cared for many and consider it an honor to have a relationship with an animal. I am a full-time pet care provider. I do have a part time job that requires me to leave for 4 to 5 hours a couple times a week but other than that I am dedicated to caring for you animal during the time I am with them. I currently live with four cats in my home. They are family pets and though I love them they are more my parents cats. In the past I have been responsible for feeding and caring for both indoor and out door pets. I stay conscious of what my pets feeding and/or walking schedules were like. I also like to know if the pet is a playful one that would like my engagement or a cuddler that likes the snuggles and pets. In the case of new animals that I haven't met before I try to make my introduction as gentle and friendly as possible. I do prefer in the cases of dogs that I meet them first with their owner present so that the dog knows I can be trusted. As for cats I haven't noticed them really caring most of the time. However, I appreciate an introduction if it is possible.

The things I have the most experience with is training puppies, senior care, disabled dogs, and adolescence, but I am open and comfortable working with any dog and any animal My schedule with work is pretty flexible and pet care is at the top of my list.
