Cat Sitting Ladera Heights

“Took great care of the little one and was very communicative throughout! Really appreciate the help while I was away and will be booking again in the future.”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and began pet sitting professionally 12 years ago. I've cared for both senior dogs and puppies, plus a wide variety of breeds and sizes. I've walked dogs at a local animal shelter. I have experience in socializing, potty training, and giving amazing head scratches. I love being outside, mini adventures to a park or trail, high-energy play time, and cuddling up with a fur baby and a good book. I'm a college student, so my schedule is very flexible! I'd like to care for pets throughout the week. I love taking walks and playing outside with dogs, and I love staying in with a cat and a book just as much! Depending on your pet's needs, I can stay home with them, walk them in their familiar area, or take them on a little adventure to a dog park or a quiet trail. All activities will be discussed and approved by you first!

About: I was a dog mom to big labrador husky. Until recently, we had to say goodbye to our silly beloved pup. I want to continue giving my time and attention to dogs of all sizes on daily walks, check in with your pet at your home or board at mine. I also have a cat, and know how playful they can be as kittens and as adults they like to come to you with mellow energy. I know how special fur babies are to us and how much love they give back. Allow me shower your fur baby with love, playtime and daily walks while you are away! I have experience with dog pulling and how to handle barking at other dogs. I also can drive your dog to another location in my car. I will need your doggie booster or car harness. My mornings are remote working 8am-12pm during the week. I have a deck and large backyard the we can take breaks playing and a doggie door to access for potty breaks. After lunch, we can go on a nice long walk 30-60mins in the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and a sliding door for the deck. My parents have a senior cat, two double doors to separate access. I believe in respecting people’s space and privacy. When you need me to pet sit at your place, I will stay in the living room and kindly ask if I can use the restroom if necessary.

“Rachel took excellent care of our babies! We are grateful for her services, updates and detailed reports! We look forward to having her sit again!”

“Shiyibin is amazing! She took good care of my girls when I was away. My girls loved to be around with her. She also sent lots of cute photos and videos everyday, which I appreciate very much!”

Chien Hsing & Hsin Sheng C.

“Thank you Meryah for being wonderful! Our rescue cat who is very nervous around people absolutely loved Meryah. She sent pictures and videos and our cat was snuggling on her lap and loving life; we were able to relax and have a great time knowing our kitty was in such great hands.”

“Mina was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luca. She was incredibly respectful of our home, always punctual, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luca warmed up to her almost immediately, and it was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for. We also have quite a few security measures for getting in and out of our house, and Mina was always thoughtful about letting us know everything was locked up and secure before she left. That attention to detail really meant a lot to us. We would happily book Mina again in a heartbeat if she’s available. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Allie has done drop in visits for our cat while we have been on 2 vacations and she is awesome! She always responds quickly, is very reliable and flexible, and leaves great updates and photos! We will definitely continue to have Allie watch our cat as long as she is available :)”

Becca T.

“Gassia was absolutely wonderful!!! She was so sweet and communicative, and sent TONS of updates and photos of our little munchkins!!! She was so patient with them as they took a couple days to warm up, but kept us in the loop and even left a couple of packs of new wet food to try since they’ve been a little picky as of late. Could not recommend her more! She was such a doll and we look forward to booking with her again soon. :)”

About: Hi! I’m Penny and I have been an avid animal lover since I was young. I have taken care of many friends’ and family’s cats. I also have 2 cats myself- both rescues. My current boy is 8 years old and has had various medical issues. My youngest adopted kitten is 11 months and required a lot of special needs and socializing. I am very experienced in cat care- whether it be medications, feeding, cleaning, socializing, enrichment… you name it! I firmly believe every cat is their own being. I adjust my expectations and requirements for care from friendly cats, shy cats, feisty cats, and more. I am currently searching for full time work, so I am very open to care at most times. I am also very quick to respond, so if you need something ASAP, please reach out to me! My cats are the epicenter of my life, so I will make sure to treat yours just the same ❤️ I am easily able to transport myself via car or walking to your home! I am open to all assistance you may need, just ask me! Also, I’m fabulous at taking pictures and videos to share, as I know that makes a huge difference while you are away from your babies!!

“Amanda was diligent, responsible and caring… our pets seemed happy at our return and I can tell they loved her… excellent experience for us, THANK YOU!!!”

About: I've had my pets for most of my life. I've owned dogs that are small, medium-sized, and even large! I believe our furry friends need some daily activity and outdoor time in order to live their best lives! I'm available during the week from the morning until the early afternoon so my schedule is quite flexible Monday through Friday. I do not walk on the weekends. I primarily walk dogs and care for cats in their home, I do not have the space to pet sit a dog in my home currently. I make sure to ask my clients how they take care of their pet and use the same approach to make your furry friend feel relaxed.

About: I have over 15 years of animal care experience in accredited zoos, vet clinics and rescues working hands on with a variety of species. Just like people, every animal (regardless of species or breed) is a unique individual and I am committed to learning about each individual so that I can maximize their well-being. I have worked professionally with all sorts of species as a positive reinforcement trainer and caretaker: dolphins, rhinos, hippos, snow leopards, parrots, armadillos, eagles, reptiles and everything in between! I often get asked what my favorite species is to work with. Honestly, there is nothing better than the companionship of dogs and cats! However, raccoons and parrots also stole my heart. Most of my professional expertise is in positive reinforcement training; specifically, teaching animals to enthusiastically choose to participate in their own care. I also have a strong passion for geriatric care and end of life/palliative care. While working professionally with animals, in my spare time over the years I was a volunteer hospice home for non-adoptable geriatric dogs at the end of their life. I have been quoted as an animal behavior expert consultant in online publications like Woman's Day, Scary Mommy, Readers Digest and Rover.com. I also have expertise in administering medications (oral and anything that requires a needle), maintaining trained behaviors including manners, ensuring dietary restrictions are met, and more. I am now at a very fortunate point in my life where I am able to take a step back from full time work and can spend some time giving love to your fur babies when you are away. Thanks for considering me, I look forward to meeting you! I am lucky enough to be able to step away from full time work, so when I accept the responsibility of caring for your fur babies you can be assured that they are my only responsibility. I do some remote consulting on the side, but otherwise I do not have other work or family responsibilities at this time. I am a type-A personality and live by the campsite rule of leaving it in better shape than I found it. I am a former project manager which means I am organized and detail oriented. I know what questions to ask to make sure everyone is safe, happy and comfortable. You'll never find me scrolling TikTok while I am out on a walk with your pup.

“Angel took great care of Kiki. Very communicative and professional. We had peace of mind while we were away this weekend.”

About: I grew up around dogs and previously had a pitbull of my own, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs while they were away on deployments. I currently have a flexible schedule and enjoy being active so I would love to take your dog out for walks and playtime. Or do check ins and feedings and giving them attention and care as needed. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so I’d love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get lots of attention and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with designated dog relief areas and plenty of walkable space nearby for regular walks and exercise. Because of the size of my apartment, I can care for small dogs/cats in my home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.

“I can’t say enough good things! I’m super attached to my cat, so leaving him for the first time was very little stressful for me but Betteena made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated, and went above and beyond with updates. She sent so many photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat absolutely loved her, he looked relaxed, happy, and totally himself in every update. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”

About: I grew up with hunting dogs, mostly labradors, and for years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs when they’ve been out of town or need to work overtime for a bit. Much like dogs, I need enough active time during the day to really get good rest later, and I’d love to help your dogs get the attention they need! Disclaimer: I’m not a runner. If your dog needs a good run, we’ll need a dog park nearby where they can go off-leash. I’m currently running my own business from home and have a lot of availability during “normal” working hours. I take care of my own 2 cats in the during the day as well. I will treat your pets as if they are my own, and I will have the utmost respect for your home, leaving it in the same condition I found it.
