House Sitting Lynwood

About: I have cared for pets since I was 7 years old! I currently share my home with two kitties and three dogs. I also have some experience with smaller animals, I've had three Syrian hamsters in the past and have cared of guinea pigs and rabbits in a shelter setting. I've even cared for pigs, goats, and horses before! For my professional credentials, I've worked in animal care for a combined five years. I have cared for hundreds of animals in animal shelter and veterinary clinic settings. From shy and fearful dogs to feral cats, to kittens and puppies, to senior animals. I have cared for animals that need medications and/or special diets. I have experience with leash and barrier reactive dogs, exuberant canines, and leash biters. I have completed dog handling in a shelter and feral and fractious cat handling courses through Maddie's University. And I've assisted in moderating 10-15+ dogs in play groups before! Through these experiences I've become proficient in understanding animal body language, able to identify a variety of possible health issues, and learned how to best keep animals safe and happy. All in all I believe my varied experiences with animals professionally and personally will allow me to provide great care to your pet! This is my primary source of income at this time! So my schedule is very flexible. Just reach out and we can work something together. I understand that safety is number one with pets! I will always respect your pets' boundaries. And I want to work with you, the pet parent, to understand your pets' habits, preferences, and any allergies or health issues.

“I cannot say enough about Cheyenne..she was in constant contact..pictures were sent..she was worried because the dogs were not eating..I will use her again! You could not tell she was even in my house--simply..she's great.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

“Mariah is a great sitter. They really took the time to make sure my dogs were comfortable and familiar with them before coming for an overnight. They also stayed longer than expected when my flight was delayed to make sure my dogs were cared for! I will absolutely be booking Mariah again.”

Tara M.

“David watched our pup Daphne for nearly two weeks and was the best sitter we've ever had. He was incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures, and spoiled Daphne. He went above an beyond to make sure she was comfortable while we were gone and to make sure we had peace of mind as well. David is the only person we will book for Daphne. She already misses him!”

“Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.”

“Erica has been our favorite to have watch our dogs. She’s so communicative and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions! Our dog that has major boundary issues seemed to allow her do things that others haven’t been able to, which for us says a lot. I felt very at ease leaving my dogs. She’s very responsible and we definitely plan on working with her in the future!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who lived with diabetes and eventually lost her vision. During that time, I was responsible for administering daily insulin injections, managing a specialized prescription diet, monitoring her health, and ensuring she remained comfortable and happy. This experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to care for pets with unique medical needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have regularly looked after my siblings' dogs and friends' pets, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around each pet's specific needs. Because I have control over my work schedule, I can provide reliable care and give pets the attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I ensure they receive their regular feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while following any instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away.

About: I have always loved spending time with pets. Since I was born, my family has had three wonderful dogs who have lived special lives in my care. When I was younger, I used to dog sit for friends and neighbors when they were out of town and I always made sure to spend a little extra time with the pets so they aren't too sad when by themselves. I am currently a remote intern with a lot of free time throughout the week, so spending time with pets will be easy to work into my schedule. My home is full of warmth and good vibes for dogs of all sizes. With a big park behind my backyard, your pets will love running around while we play.

About: Ive always had a love for animals, there was never a time my house didn’t have at least one. I have taken in strays, fosters and cared for friends and families dogs when in need and they always bring them back. I currently work Tuesday and Thursday evening and go to church on Saturdays. I am usually home otherwise so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets, play and take them out. I am very flexible and can fit the needs depending on your pet. I am always attentive when caring for any animal and am good at following plans and schedules that they have. I am able to take dogs out and or walk them. I have an enthusiastic cane corso myself so I am very use to larger animals and can handle many behaviors even if needing to work on them.

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and many different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also spent time living on a farm, which taught me how to responsibly care for animals and understand their individual needs. I previously ran my own dog-walking, training, and pet-sitting business for several years, giving me hands-on experience with exercise, basic training, feeding, playtime, and providing pets with plenty of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also a proud pet parent to three cats and a puppy of my own, so I understand firsthand how much love, attention, patience, and care pets deserve every day. My own pets are truly family, and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. I’m currently self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding depending on your needs. I’m happy to discuss scheduling in advance and make sure your pets receive consistent care and attention while you’re away. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise routines, and any special needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I treat every animal with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own pets.

“Vanessa was great with our pets! We booked her multiple times. She took care of the pets additional medication needs and attended to their various quirks. She was very helpful and worked with our schedule. We'll surely book with her again if she's available!”

“Dominique was friendly and a great sitter for my girl Millie! I was only gone for a couple days but she still sent updates throughout the weekend, letting me know what they got up to together and how Millie was doing with her meals and potty time. I appreciated her communication and flexibility as she balanced Millie’s routine with her own dog’s needs. Thank you Dominique!”

About: I’ve had a family dog for 10 years that we walk everyday. I have been dog sitting for 7 years and love it every time.

I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment.

About: I've been a dog lover my whole life. I've always had Labrador Retrievers and I am loving and caring I will take good care of your dog as if they were mine. Can keep you updated with pictures and anything else you would need at any time. So I'm used to bigger dogs I'm also okay with smaller dogs. My house is very dog friendly.

Would love to help out and make sure your dog is well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard, and at your home I am extra cautious and will make sure your dog is happy and well cared for.

“Amanda was absolutely incredible with Cooper and Zola! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my two dogs. She was caring, attentive, dependable, and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and updates that Cooper and Zola were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. Coming home to two happy, relaxed dogs told me everything I needed to know. Amanda went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch them. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets. She is fantastic, and I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️ Thank you, Amanda, for taking such amazing care of Cooper and Zola!”

About: Hi guys! Owner of "I Hope My Cat Doesn't Get Jealous " LLC I have own several pets; throughout the years. One of the best feelings as a pet owner/sitter is knowing you are making a difference in that pet's day. Just to see them all happy,relaxed or just fed; gives me a humble satisfaction. I will be there every step of the way for your pets' needs; making sure your pet likes me and is comfortable with me.But don't take my word for it, you will see it through your pets behavior towards me. I have 4 cats that are dog friendly. They really love playing with small dogs. Finally, hope you and your pet(s) have a very bless day. I'm a full time pet sitter, I do walks during the day and house sitting or boarding afterwards. I try my best to fit your fur baby into my schedule. Meet & greets are mandatory for me. That way you can see and decide more throughly if I'm the right pet sitter for you and if your fur baby is comfortable with me.

About: Loving and Experienced Pet & Home Care I've always had a deep love for animals of all kinds, so I'm not easily squeamish. My biggest concern is always safety, both for the pets and myself. As long as I understand what's expected of me and what your pet needs, I'm confident in my ability to provide excellent care. Most of my experience has been with cats. I've had two of my own and cared for nine kittens at once. I've also spent plenty of time around multi-cat households and looked after cats with all sorts of personalities. Dogs are close to my heart too. I grew up with two and have since cared for dogs of different ages and temperaments. More recently, I've taken on extended house sits with multiple dogs, getting to know their daily routines and making sure they have plenty of attention while their owners are away. I've cared for fish and smaller animals as well. One of my more memorable experiences was keeping a rat receiving hospice care comfortable during its final days while its owner was away. I know how much these little companions mean to the people who love them. When it comes to your home, I'm just as attentive. I grew up in a household where my parents had nearly professional standards for cleanliness, and those habits have stayed with me. I naturally keep things tidy and take pride in leaving a space in excellent condition. I'll treat your home with respect and make sure everything is just as you left it, if not a little better. I also understand how important it is to feel connected to your pets when you're away. I'm happy to send photos and updates, and I'll always reach out if something needs your attention. Ultimately, I want your pets to feel safe and loved in their own home while you enjoy your time away without worrying about them. I'm an artist and writer who works remotely, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I spend a lot of time at home working on my projects, and I really enjoy having animals around to keep me company. I actually find that looking after pets is good for my own routine too. It gives me a reason to step away from my work, get outside, and have a little structure to my day. I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality and settling into a rhythm that works for both of us. I grew up in a household where my parents had near professional standards for cleanliness, so keeping things tidy and in order comes naturally to me. I bring that same care and respect into every home I stay in. When it comes to pets, I do my best to maintain the routines they're already comfortable with. I know how important consistency can be, especially when their favorite humans are away. I take the time to learn their personalities and preferences so they can feel safe and at ease with me. I'm also happy to look after plants, bring in mail, and tend to other household needs while you're gone. My goal is for you to come home to happy pets and a home that feels just as good as you left it.
