I work from home part-time, so caring for pets blends perfectly into my daily life. I love having furry company during the day and can give frequent attention — whether that's walks, play breaks, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pet won’t be left waiting; they’ll be part of my daily routine and treated like family.

A typical day

A typical day here is all about fun, comfort, and plenty of attention. We start with morning snuggles and a potty break in the fenced yard, followed by playtime or a nice walk. Throughout the day, your pup can relax inside, enjoy toys, get belly rubs, or sunbathe outside while I work from home. We take regular breaks for fresh air, sniffing adventures, and games like fetch or tug. Evenings are all about winding down — dinner, calm cuddles, and a cozy spot to rest. Every pet sets the pace — active pups get movement and play, while chill ones enjoy a peaceful, comforting routine.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s pets for years, and it’s become one of my favorite things to do. I’m the person everyone calls when they need someone they truly trust and the biggest compliment I get is that their pets don’t want to go home when vacation ends! I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups who love outdoor time to cozy cuddle-bugs who just want companionship and a soft place to snooze. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while their families are away. I also live very close to LAX which is convenient if you need to drop your dog while you’re away. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs absolutely love.

Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!

Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'

Birgetta is a great pet sitter and is an experienced dog and cat owner. She has watched our 1 year old collie/retriever Jasper several times and each time he's so happy. Birgetta works from home so she can provide lots of attention. Her place is very pet friendly. She has a back yard with a dog door and her neighborhood has lots of nice dogs that Jasper liked greeting as they walk by. Birgetta loves taking walks so I always know Jasper gets plenty of exercise when he's there.
