Safety, trust & environment
My yard is not fenced, so if you need boarding I have the ability to bring dogs out to my yard or take them on walks in my safe neighborhood but they would not be outside alone. I can also go to your home and sit with your pet, go on walks or play. Cleaning up after a pet is expected including messes or litterboxes. I also offer walking service for dogs and nail trimming for cats and dogs.

Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the experiences a dog has had with previous sitters. I also like knowing what their socialization is like with other dogs, for during walks, or if you want me to bring them to a park. I pay attention to all food needs and would rather have more info than not enough. :) What toys are their favorites? If you have a shy animal, are there any tips you have to help them get used to me? Are there favorite hiding places? :)
A typical day
I live in a very safe neighborhood in Tarzana, so if your dog comes with me, we'll go for a long walk in the neighborhood, or I can use a long lead in my backyard (my yard isn't fully fenced, so I wouldn't be able to let your dog off leash in my yard).

Former kitten & puppy foster mom
Pet care experience
I had 2 wonderful rescue dogs when I was in my 20s. They passed away and then I fostered kittens in my spare time. I don't currently foster but I still love caring for animals. I’m available to come give your dog a walk or feed any of your animals or stay with them for awhile - including overnights if I’m showing as available for housesittijg those days. Have a fish tank? I can give your fish some food too and for a recent client brought their small tortoises inside during the nighttime each night for a 3-night overnight booking, and have fed a bearded dragon mealworms.. :) My 14 year-old son wants to be a veterinarian and has gone to summer camp at America's Teaching Zoo in Moorpark. If you book me and there's any times for when he'd be not in school, I'll check to see if you want him to come along. Animals love him so much and as you can see from my photo gallery, it seems they prefer to cuddle and play with him than me sometimes :D I ask ahead of time and if you prefer that only I visit / stay, that's completely fine and he'd stay at our own house with our cat Mango.

Reviews
Amazing. First cat sitter that seemed to have no problems giving our diabetic cat an injection. Will use again!

Thank you!
