Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Los Cerritos Area

About: I love dogs and how important they are to their family. I've been around dogs throughout my whole life and have watched all kinds of dogs varying in size and age, and will take care of your dog with the love and attention they deserve. Available to give them an uptempo stay including dog parks and running, or a more relaxed backyard hang if they're more of a homebody. I have a flexible work-from-home situation and work on-call in the evenings so I tend to have a lot of time in the weekdays. I can usually accommodate last-minute care if my availability is free. I'll treat your dog like my own, and give them all of the love and attention they want. We have a 12-year-old dog (mixed-breed, medium size) who loves company and will welcome your dog with open paws. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, and willing to get your dog plenty of exercise if they're more active, or taking it a little easier if they aren't as energetic.

About: I have been dogsitting for friends and family for around 6 years and this includes boarding and walking. I love to be active and my preferred form of exercise is running, so I would be more than happy to take your pup for a run with me! I'm currently available every week day in the morning and can do evenings upon request. I can also accommodate weekends if discussed ahead of time! I put the needs of your pet above all else. Whatever type of care that is needed will be taken care of to the highest of degrees.

About: I missed having dogs at home. Unfortunately I lost both of them last year. I had them for 16yrs. I have experience with senior dogs. I know how to put injections such as Insuline shots and give them medicine. I live in Long Beach, very close to LBG, very convenient airport. I like to keep the dogs at the house and just have a daily routine as they do at own home. I tried not to take them to places unless is required. I'm currently working part time and working from home. I'm available most week days and weekends. I'd rather take reservations from Thursday thru Sunday and some holidays too. Only one family at the time, no more than 3 pets. I just moved to Long Beach. Bixby Knolls area. Very close to Long Beach Airport. Very convenient and easy airport to flight from. Safe environment, a lot of places to go for a walk and 3 story townhouse, hard wood floors with small balcony, small patio and garage. Enough space to spoiled your dog. Gates to keep the dogs away from the stairs as well.

About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!

About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and my own for the past 11 years. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours like one! Any type of help you need, I will exercise your pet, wash them, administer medicine. They will be well taken care of! Currently working full-time during the week. I am mostly available on weekends: Fridays: 6:30pm-night Saturdays: 1pm-night Sundays: all day I can make myself available on weekday nights 6:30pm - evening depending on the situation. Dogs will tell you what they need. I take them for potty breaks frequently and if they are telling me they want more play time I will give them extra play time. When they are more tired I will give them space to rest. Sometimes when they have attitude I have to be stern and tell them it’s not time for extra treats xD they like to be challenged so I do like to train them to do some tricks. My dog knows how to roll over, beg, and wait amongst several other tricks. Dogs like the direction and having a job to do. I have the patience to help them learn how to wait and walk properly on a leash without pulling. It takes time but it is doable!!

“Always great! Thank you, Tara!”

About: My lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve completed puppy training classes with my own dog, so I understand how to teach patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My years of volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to handle pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every animal like my own, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m currently going to college and have classes Monday through Thursday, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have morning classes! I have plenty of time during the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as most of the day Friday through Sunday to spend quality time with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and stress free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and give them plenty of attention and playtime. I always keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I love spending quality time with each pet; whether it’s cuddling, playing, or going for walks, so they feel loved and cared for until you return.

“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and have had multiple dogs of my own. I’ve been walking dogs for over 23 yrs for my friends, family and neighbors’ dogs and they do currently rely on me when they need their dogs walked and played with, or just spoiled with lots of love and attention. 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I currently work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time to give full attention to puppies or any dogs that require extra or special attention. I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to play with your furbaby. I also take them to the park regularly and can take ur furbaby to the park or dog beach for a day of fun.

“Courtney was so amazing with my 3 lb puppy. She was very gentle and took amazing care of her during their walk. Thank you so much for a great walk and report card!”

“I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Allison took prompt and attentive care of Vivi every day. She sent plenty of pictures and confirmed all of Vivi's care instructions. When they AC wasn't turning on, Allison replaced the batteries in the control unit to ensure my apartment didn't get too hot. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I've been a cat lady my entire life. Until finding a litter of month old puppies in a Weinerschnitzel parking lot late one stormy night almost 3 years ago. I've long been involved in cat rescue, and thought "I can foster puppies." I failed catastrophically at that. 😂🐈‍⬛🐕🐕🐛🦋💗 ChiliDog and SmallFry are the joy of my life. Sisters and best friends, they're a pair of wild rambunctious Siberian Huskies, each with their own unique personalities, and lots of energy to burn. We go to the dog park almost every single day to run a few miles, with an entire pack of their closest friends of course. I've been a pet sitter for over 8 years now. I worked for Prefurred Pet Care from November of 2017 - until the business closed in the summer of 2025. I've worked for Bark City Sitting since July of 2024 - present. I have lots of experience with many different breeds and personalities. I know how intelligent dogs are and treat them with the respect they deserve. I also have experience with medicating dogs. I look forward to meeting your furbabies and getting to know the charming quirks that make them special. I have 35 years of cat care experience. I'm a bit of a cat whisperer. I'm skilled at befriending the shy timid kitties. I also have experience with some exotic pet care, like raising Monarch butterflies and Praying Mantises. Thank you for considering me to help meet your pets needs. I'm looking forward to making new furry friends. I've been a full time petsitter for 8 years now. I'm looking to grow my clientele again, after the company I was working for closed. I'm also an artist. So my schedule is mostly free and flexible, other than the occasional art shows. I'm available for walks or drop in visits most days from 10am to 10pm. I understand that trusting a stranger in your home is a scary decision. I struggled with that myself the first time I ever hired a pet sitter for my kids. Please know that I will treat your home, and your furbabies with the utmost respect. I do like to arrange a meet & greet with any dogs before our scheduled visit, for both mine and your safety. Everyone should feel comfortable with the dynamic before we proceed.

“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”

The last thing you will want is to worry! So you do not have to worry about your pet with me. I have volunteered at several animal shelters and that experience has helped me understand animals in a better manner.

“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”

About: I'm a pet sitter for all my friend's pets. I had the experience of living with friends' pets many times. I really love pets and when I'm a sitter it's not only about changing the water and taking the pet outside for a pee, we have interesting conversations and quality time with games and cuddling. I'm a designer (in a pet tech company Basepaws) and work from home. I have time to walk outside several times a day and I do it even when I haven't pet:) We have a fenced yard with no holes and we haven't kids or other pets. We can have a long walk outside or keep your pet inside and use only the backyard if you prefer.
