Pet care experience
20 yrs “Friendfessional” Petsitter
I began my stint as a “friendfessional” pet-sitter when I landed in LA more than 20 years ago. I craved a pet of my own, but work travel and apartment living were not ideal conditions for becoming a mommy, so I settled on becoming an auntie to my friends’ pets. I spent years house and cat sitting for my friends’ two cats both of whom ended up with diabetes in old age and required daily shots and medicine. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I no longer care for them. My regular stints have included training and caring for puppies, as well as young and older dogs, including those with special diets, unique demeanors or medical needs. It’s important to me that I learn what your dog can and can not eat, how much exercise they need, and if they need any training. Each dog is different and I take great care in making sure I follow your lead in meeting your dog’s needs. I am always honest if it is not something I can take on. My spouse and I have loved dog sitting at our home for our friends and would welcome the opportunity to have your pet join in the fun with us! A Tribute to Patches (2013-23) I was a proud mommy to Patches for 9 1/2 years (Patches passed away unexpectedly March ‘23). Besides sleeping more, he still had his puppy qualities of wanting to play chase around the house, playing with his lovey, cuddling with me and my spouse and going on long walks. Patches loved people and other pets. He taught us so much about being present- he would always remind me when I wasn’t or when I went way over my work day and was still plugging away at the computer! And most importantly, he taught us about true unconditional love. We miss him dearly.

It feels great to have a reliable dog sitter you can trust when we travel. Judi has watched Jasper many times and it's always a good experience for us and him.
Judy is fantastic and makes sure our pup’s medical and other needs are always taken care of. He loves being with her. We are so grateful for Judy.
Judy makes our pup so comfortable. I think he’d prefer to be at her place than ours! It’s such a relief that he’s so happy when we are away. Thank you, Judy.
Jasper always has a great time with Judi and we always feel comfortable leaving him with her because we know she will give him lots of love and care.
Polo feels just at home with Judy as he does with us. She has a magical way of keeping him calm. He is always so excited to stay with her.
Judy is extraordinary. She knows exactly how to handle Polo and he is so happy to be with her.

We have a fenced in yard. I can fit in potty breaks, and an afternoon walk during the day. I am also available most weekends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will typically only pet sit for one dog at a time so your dog’s needs remains my priority. While dogs aren’t allowed on my bed, I have a large cozy bed that is washed after every dog visit. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs, and I can assist with giving medications or other care as needed. I prefer doing a meet and greet prior to booking with any new client. I also only accept dogs who are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on all shots.
Pets
A typical day
I will play fetch with your dog, engage them with fun treat games and take them on exploratory walks in my neighborhood, or at our local park.
