Pet Sitting Mar Vista

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.

About: Hello! I have not had pets of my own because of apartment living restrictions however have taken care of friends pets (cats and dogs) for over five years. I am a responsible, kind, and active sitter that respects your pets space and sticks to their routine as close as possible while you are away. My approach is grounded in deep kindness and lots of care. I am gentle with pets and attuned to their needs. Overall, I am dependable and easy to communicate. Because of my flexible work I can be around most of the day if that's what your pet needs or drop by as needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry loves and caring for them while you are away. I’m open to recurring dog walking gigs! My work is flexible and therefore I am available to support your pet's regular routine. I am available to lounge and play with your furry members as needed. I am attentive, engaging, and ready to play or cuddle. I am eager to learn your pets likes and dislikes and follow their lead on making them feel comfortable while you are away.

About: I specialize in high energy dogs, walking up to 9 miles a day and 2 hours of high intensity park play time divided between the morning and evening to match a dogs dinural sleep cycles. Every day I do a 3 mile walk to the park where we exercise for an hour before walking home, another walk around lunch weather permitting and ending the day with a 3 mile walk and another hour at the park and a quick potty break before bed. Food is given typically once in the morning and once at dinner to dissuade begging behaviors. Rough play is allowed in open areas and outside, couches and beds are for gentle play and sleeping. If extra energy remains after daily walks a puzzle toy is given to mentally exhaust the dog.

“Daniel and Bethany took wonderful care of our bunny. They were attentive and took extra care to make sure that she had a clean crate before we arrived home. Thank you so much for the great care!”

About: Hi! I’m Carmen, I am I life-long animal lover and I specialize in caring for small, medium and senior, or low-energy dogs who thrive in a slow-paced, cozy environment. Whether your pup needs boarding or day care, they’ll get lots of one-on-one attention, walks, naps, and a calm daily rhythm. I only take one guest dog at a time to keep things peaceful and personal. I work from home, so I’m around to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. What I Offer: • One guest dog at a time • Small/medium breeds or seniors only • Quiet, low-stress environment • Ideal for shy, anxious, or elderly dogs • Frequent photo updates • Quick communication • Lots of attention I would love to meet your pup and help them feel right at home. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re the right fit! I work from home, so I’m able to give lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule is consistent, which creates a relaxed environment for visiting dogs. Walks, meals, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my daily rhythm—and my chihuahua Cathy is always happy to have a friend around. Because I only take one dog at a time, each pup gets focused, attention in a peaceful setting. In my home, I offer a safe space where dogs can relax. I keep the environment quiet and low-stress, with soft bedding, plenty of fresh water, walks, and companionship. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions carefully, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates. I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away. I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.

“I cannot ask for a better sitter for my baby. She made sure to give him lots of attention and love when I was away, she messaged me and kept me updated throughout it all. I came home to a happy cat, all thanks to her. On top of that she helped me out a lot in the house, made sure everything was clean and prepared, watered my plants and also refilled my cat’s food and water. I have booked from Rover before but no one comes close to Veronica. I 100% recommend her and will be booking again if needed. Thank you so much Veronica, you’re the best!”

“Jeff is just amazing and goes way beyond what I’d expect from a dog walker/sitter. I felt totally at ease. My pup felt at ease and even got to enjoy healthy homemade food. Communication was beyond impeccable. Will totally rebook during my next trip!”

“Sarah was amazing. She was great with both a puppy and an old man dog at the same time. Very pleasant, helpful, gave frequent updates, and I came home to happy pups.”

About: Hi! I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. They hold a very special place in my heart, and even though I have my own fur babies, I never get tired of all the cuteness and joy they bring. I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or just extra love while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies who need structure and gentle guidance, to senior pets who need patience, a slower pace, and attentive care (including medication if needed). I also work well with shy or anxious pets and always move at their comfort level to build trust. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home. You can always expect thoughtful updates, clear communication, and someone who treats your pets like their own. I truly love what I do and would be honored to care for yours! I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to offer flexible availability for pet care throughout the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I’m also open to overnight care and happy to provide services either in my home or yours—whichever best suits your pet’s comfort and your needs. I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care in both my home and clients’ homes, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I closely follow instructions and maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep them relaxed in their familiar environment. In my home, I offer a clean, peaceful space where pets are treated like family with plenty of care and attention. I currently share my home with two sweet, indoor teenage male cats, so visiting pets must be comfortable in a cat-friendly environment. In all cases, I focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication, with regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away.

“It’s so nice having Jasmine! She’s reliable and trustworthy so you feel happy your pet is taken care of while you’re out of town. Highly recommend!”
