House Sitting in Lakewood

“My girls were so comfortable with her! And Laura was super sweet and understanding when my apartment decided to stop working over the weekend (no hot water until Monday night and due to a power surge on Friday, no stove/oven).”

“We requested Kate's service to watch our 2 dogs while we would be out of town overnight for a wedding. Our older dog, a border collie/bluetick coonhound mix, is very apprehensive of strangers and generally displays high anxiety behaviors. Kate came to our house the week before our trip to meet the girls, and to our surprise both dogs warmed up to her very quickly! The stress of traveling was eased by knowing they would be comfortable at home with a new friend... unfortunately our 9 month old daughter was not as comfortable so we drove home and surprised Kate at 6 in the morning- not even a single glass was out of place!”

“Cassandra was awesome!! Keep us up to date with tons of pics and videos! Walks every day and the park! Would absolutely have her watch them again 👏🏼”

“Kelsy was fantastic with our pup who is an old man who just enjoys company. She followed his schedule and send pics daily which we appreciated since we missed him a ton. Thanks Kelsy! Maxwell gives you a 10/10!”

“Brionna was easy to communicate with, shared lots of photos of our pups, and was very caring with both our dogs. Upon returning home, it was clear the dogs enjoyed being with Brionna (even our grumpy senior dog!). Felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in experienced hands. Looking forward to booking with Brionna again soon.”

“Lissi was super warm and excellent with our pet. She was flexible, punctual, very communicative, and provided welcome updates throughout the booking. Great job, it was a pleasure working with her.”

Michael E.

“Esmeralda did great with levi! and she gave updates while taking care of my pup and she walked and fed him and put him to bed with ease i highly recommend her for a booking !!”

Katie S.

“Madison was a great dog sitter for my two big dogs. I was so grateful for all. her picture updates while we were away, it helps me to relax when i can know my furry kids are having a good time. I could tell from some of the pics that my dogs had fallen in love with her. Madison was also very personable and nice when we met and took care of the home.”

Gina L.

“Dylan is excellent! I had a last minute business trip and Dylan responded quickly to the post. He was on time for the “interview” and it was evident my dog liked him immediately. Dylan was great in his care of my older dog. Sending me pictures and texts of their time together. It was so evident that my dog really liked being with Dylan and enjoyed the walks and playtime! I came home to a clean house and a tired and happy dog! Thank you Dylan!!!”

Sheri S.

“Claudia was a wonderful doggy sitter! Our pup, April, loved hanging out and playing with her so much (she even took the cutest Polaroid picture!) Would definitely recommend Claudia and will be reaching out to her again in the future. ?”

About: Hello! I’ve worked at two doggie daycare/boarding facilities since 2020, working with small and large dog groups, including specialty one-on-one care. At my current job, I focus on feedings, medications, group enrichment activities and agility/basic obedience training. I have also been a kitten/cat foster parent since April 2020. Care has included bottle & syringe feeding, medication/vaccines, Pet care is a major factor in my daily/weekly routine. I work full time as a dog yard attendant and BOH supervisor at a doggie theme park, training, & boarding facility and have two cats at home. My partner and I also foster kittens through rescues in the LB area I can easily crate dogs if needed and have no problem handling dogs of any size. If the dog needs to come into my home for any reason, I can separate my cats into another room.

“Communicated effectively, was patient with our hyper boy.”

About: I am a CPDT-KA certified trainer as well as Fear-Free certified, and have been working for over 2 years as a trainer. I’ve worked with all ages of dogs and cats and would love to take care of your pets! I work for myself as a trainer so I can make my own schedule! I have plenty of time to come to your house or have your pet stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a pool to keep your pet entertained, and we have plenty of training and enrichment activities for your pet. I live with another dog but he is cared for by my parents so your pup will have my full attention! I also have a crate so your pup can feel right at home. If I come to your house, I can bring all my enrichment and training things too so your pup will have lots of fun.

“Michelle was fabulous and my dogs LOVE her! Our recent trip was the first time she helped us and we were super impressed. Michelle is on time, polite, and responsible. I felt completely secure leaving my pups' care in her capable hands. We got lots of pictures and updates and it was terrific to not be constantly worrying about them. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a lifelong dog lover based in Lakewood, CA, where I live with three rescue pups. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid - from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. Nowadays I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. With a career in government and politics, I bring the same level of professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail to every walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll or a high-energy adventure, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s get those tails wagging! Right now, I’m focusing solely on dog walking and pet care as I take a break from my full-time career. I’ve always loved being around animals, and this time has given me the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to caring for dogs—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Since my schedule is currently flexible, I’m able to prioritize each pup’s unique needs and build consistent, dependable routines with them. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about every day. While I don’t offer care in my own home because I have three rescue dogs, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I believe dogs feel most comfortable and secure in their own space, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or cuddle time. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes for peace of mind.

“Joanna stayed in our home for the weekend and cared for our three month old puppy and 3 year old cat while we were gone. We were so nervous leaving our puppy for the first time but it was clear very quickly that he was in great hands with Joanna. She was amazing!! She provided regular updates, followed the instructions we left to a T, left the place spotless when she departed, and most importantly, clearly took great care of our pets. We will look forward to working with her again.”

“Was very patient with both pups.”

“Ariana was perfect for the girls! And she was a true compassionate professional as this sit was during some crazy weather in Miami. She comforted the girls and was incredible making them feel at ease. What a great person. She has my highest recommendation. Great communication, mature and just great with my two senior gals!”

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.

About: I’ve been fortunate enough to have 3 dogs live long healthy lives and currently have one dog under my care, Mojo. All of my dogs have been a variation of the German Wire Haired Pointer so I am very comfortable with high energy working dogs and how to keep them stimulated. I am incredibly comfortable continuing training while the owners are away and during our walks! All of my dogs are independently leash trained and are not reactive towards other dogs! I recently moved home from the east coast so I’m settling back into Long Beach. This is currently my only gig so I offer open flexibility! My dog mojo has a front yard that is not fenced in however she is trained not to cross the boundary, in my backyard it is fully fenced in with a large grass patch. I would care for a clients dog as they instruct and give them all my love !!!
