Former vet tech, certified animal handler, and experienced pet-sitter seeks fluffy neighborhood furballs in need of extra attention!! Whether your pup needs a walk or your cat needs a cuddle- I’ve got you. I’m available for drop-ins, day hikes, and overnight pet sitting in the comfort of your home (the least stressful option for your pet while you’re away). I know that many animals don’t do well (or simply can’t be) boarded, but busy lives mean we often need to leave them behind when we travel or work long hours. I’m here to offer you peace of mind knowing they’ll be safe & sound in their own home, being looked after with the upmost of professional care, love, and attention. I’ve been petsitting for private clients and friends furever- see what I did there 😀. I spent many years living in places where I wanted, but wasn't allowed, to have pets, so spoiling other's was the next best thing. I also grew up in a home full of pets and my first job as a kid was volunteering for the local animal shelter. I went on to train professionally as an animal handler for film & television and to work as an emergency triage and surgical veterinary assistant. I cherish every opportunity to get to know a new animal of any kind, and to help them feel safe & secure, loved, and respected by another human. I have years of experience and expertise working with animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from teeny tiny kittens needing bottle feeding every hour, to senior pups on special diets, diabetic felines, giant lazy lap dogs, pampered dachshunds, wild terriers, loving pit bulls, timid house cats, and random rescues still in need of training. *All pets in my care must be current on vaccines AND preventative flea treatments. Please contact me if you need a reliable, responsible, professional petsitter with years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I offer 30-60 minute neighborhood walks, hour-long nature hikes for active dogs, shorter drop-ins, play-time visits, care and feeding for felines and full service pet/plant/house sitting in Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino and close neighboring cities. If you need services outside these areas please message me for a quote. Please note: All overnights (for dogs) include two walks and at least 1-2 shorter potty-breaks during the day. However, if you have a dog still in its "puppy stage" (regardless of age), a pet that is not fully housebroken, or a senior dog with special needs that requires more frequent outings, please message me with full details so I can provide you a more accurate quote. Thank you!
