House Sitting in Manhattan Beach

About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. At five years old, I was already outside caring for stray cats and dogs in Macedonia. That early instinct to protect and advocate for animals shaped the direction of my life and career. I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant with over 1000 hours of veterinary experience and currently I am studying animal physiology. I am pursuing my dream on going to veterinary school. Would love to take care of your pet! I worked as a veterinary assistant at VCA Coast, where I supported medical care for both cats and dogs in a clinical setting. I am experienced with anxious, reactive, and stressed pets, and I understand how to approach them with patience and calm handling. I am also comfortable caring for senior animals and pets with additional medical needs. I am currently a student at UCLA studying animal physiology online for my veterinary school application. My schedule is open for the most part. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and providing you and your pet with an amazing experience! :) My clinical skills include nail trims, ear cleanings, and administering IV fluids. I am open to dog walking, dog and cat sitting overnight. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from MTSU and am currently preparing my veterinary school application.

“Liana was such a good sitter and friend to Karl!! Came in town for the weekend have never used Rover before so was a little bit nervous. We were also staying at an Airbnb. So it was a little bit of a complex situation seeing as how we came in town for an event on Sunday so we needed Liana all day but she made us trust rover and she was amazing with our corgi Karl, took him on a hike and showed him around town with our permission! Sent us pics and updates! We know he was well taken care of and had a great time exploring with Liana! Anytime we’re back in the area will def ask her again! Def recommend to any family or friend or any other paw parent!”

“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”

“Sophia was SO awesome with our kitty cat! We felt so at peace the whole weekend knowing she was home with her. She sent us so many photos and videos, was super responsive and went out of her way to come and see the place/meet us and our cat before she came to stay. We will definitely be using her again!”

I have class from 11:00 until 5:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as 11:00 until 2:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Making sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment is really important to me!

“Kristin and I share such a love for dogs it made me feel soo comfortable to leave my baby with her for a long weekend overnight stay! She cuddled my baby all weekend long and took him for such lovely long walks and was the perfect house guest, left the house exactly how we left it. 10/10 would absolutely recommend:))”

“Sam was truly amazing. We needed a sitter for our two dogs very last minute and she responded to my request almost immediately. She was able to do a meet and greet same day before we left the next day. She sent pictures daily with lots of wonderful updates. She cared for our dogs (and home) with so much love and thoughtfulness. We recommend Sam to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, responsible dog sitter.”

“Brittney was great! She even came by a couple times beforehand to meet Luna. She was very sweet and friendly and knowing that our dog quickly warmed up to her says a lot! She was great with getting her out of the house on walks and spent quality time with her. We would definitely work with Brittney again!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have cared for many different pets including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Animals have always been an important part of my life, so I’m very comfortable understanding their personalities and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away, whether that means feeding them, walking them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I always try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are gone. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m able to plan visits around my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding visits, and playtime during the week and weekends. I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to spend time with dogs in their home where they feel most comfortable, or bring them along with me so they have company and aren’t left alone. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime throughout the day.

“I am over the moon that we found Alexa! We booked Alexa for a weekend house sitting. She was so sweet, incredibly attentive with our dog Cole, sent us ADORABLE pictures, and kept our house clean! If you need a reliable and caring pet sitter, don’t even think twice and book Alexa! Thank you so much for caring for our sweet boy!”

“Shannon is amazing . She is very flexible with my changing schedules and she is so good with Lily. Lily can take a few visits to get comfortable with a sitter but Lily liked Shannon.”
