Cat Sitting Malibu Beach

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and love working with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I grew up with three dogs—two rescues (including a foster we ended up keeping) and one puppy—and regularly handled their care, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines and making pets feel at ease. I’m especially experienced with cats. I raised two stray kittens growing up—one I helped bottle-feed—and in college I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat. With patience and consistency, he became incredibly affectionate and is now my own cat who sleeps next to me every night. I pay close attention to body language and always respect each pet’s boundaries, whether they’re energetic, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsive, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a part-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I’m not available for overnight stays, I’m very flexible during the day and can accommodate multiple visits if needed. I’m also very responsive and happy to help with last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect their boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure at all times during walks and visits. I treat every home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”

“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”

About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since my childhood while living at grandma’s village house. A brunch of “pets” from cats, dogs and chickens - to geese, goats, cows, rabbits, turkeys. I’m available for boarding daily mostly 12-5pm. But every case depends, contact ahead to verify . Not doing early morning or late evening visits or walks. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules, so pets stay comfortable in their familiar space. Change for fresh water if needed

About: Me and my sister grew up around dogs and my sister works at a dog day care. We are animal lovers and would be more than happy to walk or keep your dog entertained. I also love to run so if your dog is very active, I can take them on a run to tire them out! I recently moved away from my parents house where my dog lives, so I miss being around animals. I have previous experience as a dog walker before I moved and I have a lot of experience handling very strong and energetic dogs too. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding dog sitting, pet visits and dog walking! Thank you for taking the time to read about me! -Suni

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years through animal shelters and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including administering medication, reinforcing training, bathing, and taking dogs on long walks or runs. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, reactive dogs, and pets with special needs. My experience with caring for cats is extensive as well. As a law student, I study from home most days, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My goal is to make sure you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for! As a full-time law student, I spend most of my days studying from home, with only a few hours of class each day. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and they make great study buddies! I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in the space they know best. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, and even around the house if needed. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You’ll also receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know how they’re doing!

“Aurelie was our first Rover experience and she was amazing! 2 animals to check on. She was always on time when she said she would be there. Communicated well. Shared photos. Had both of them out playing with her, animals can read good characters and when the cat immediately warmed up to her we knew she was the right fit. Will be rebooking for future trips. :) thanks Aurelie”

“My Maltipoo has trust issues walking with anyone but me but was comfortable going for a walk with Jesse C. This makes me so happy and with less stress leaving my pup for work etc.”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.

About: Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hoofed loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. Need me to visit your tarantula? I would love nothing more. :) My partner and I have two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I have many years of experience with senior cats and pups and administering medications. Happy to do some heavy lifting for pets with mobility challenges (up to 80lbs). I’m big on respecting animals’ boundaries, and know all the body language signs for dogs, cats, and horses. Bonus: my own beloved fur children and I have also completed many positive reinforcement dog training courses (so I won’t undo the progress you’ve made with your puppy)! Double bonus: natural horsemanship classes. In my spare time, I like to read, hike, play games, spend time with my human and animal loved ones, and volunteer at the LGBT Center. By day, I am a caregiver (to humans), a pet-sitter, and a social work student. I’m available for early morning and evening animal visits during the week, and morning, midday, and evening visits on the weekends. At this time, I am only available for drop-in visits. I am careful, respectful, and kind. I treat the animals temporarily under my care as I would want someone to care for my own fur children. By hiring me, you’re getting the benefit of the experience of an eldest child of five who cared for her siblings (and pets) in her teens, then dogs, cats, and horses professionally in her early 20s, and elderly patients (and so many more animals) in her 30s.

“Vanessa is incredible! I feel like my babe was so very well cared for while away. Highly recommend her services over the other rover sitters I have used previously.”

About: I love dogs and have had dogs all of my live, and had taken care of them when they were puppies, so potty training, playing and keeping and eye on them, and also when they were sick and old, so giving extra attention to their wellbeing. Pets are family members that need to be cared for, treated with respect, as well as provide them with some fun play time. I’m currently working part time so I have time to spend with your pet during week days and can provide visits twice a day in case that is needed. I would keep them on their leash whenever we are outside, always keep the door closed to avoid them running away and follow the house rules.

About: I grew up with dogs, a cat, birds, guinea pigs and fish. I also had two amazing 17.5 year old cats that left on the rainbow bridge in 2021. I have professional experience sitting for cats, dogs, chickens in the US and Mexico. I am known for being an animal whisperer and have many 5 star reviews that I am happy to share with you. Just ask! I was home and pet sitting professionally full time from 2021 to 2024. I am now located in Kihei and work for myself so I can easily care for your animals while away. I love caring for and being around them. It's my intention to be a wonderful, accountable individual taking care of your pets or home as if they were mine. I take all of it very seriously. I always follow your guidelines. I have a tender heart for all but even moreso for animals.

About: I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want. I have a fenced yard and I work from home. I have a flexible schedule. Consequently, I can adapt my schedule to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and I have no other dogs. Even though the house is on two levels, it's easy for dogs to navigate.
