About: Hi, I’m Jana! I am a full-time physical therapist looking to spend time with some pups since I currently do not have one of my own. I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life, growing up with a beloved family dog and later raising my own Australian Shepherd from a puppy. Because of my Aussie, I am incredibly comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping up with demanding exercise schedules, making me the perfect match for active dogs who love long, fulfilling walks. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted, go-to dog and cat sitter for my friends. Through these diverse experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and know exactly how to read their cues to make them feel safe, secure, and completely comfortable around me. Above all, safety is my absolute top priority. I approach every walk and sitting session with extreme care, ensuring your furry family member is never put in danger. I can't wait to meet your pet and provide the reliable, attentive care they deserve! Certifications: Cat and Dog First Aid and IAP Dog Walker certified. I currently work Tuesday through Fridays so I am available Saturday, Sunday and Mondays when most pet parents may be traveling. Also, I am willing to walk or drop in during my days off for those who work weekends! When caring for pets at their own home I prioritize their needs as well as the privacy of my clients. I will always treat their home with respect. If your pup is staying with me, be assured I will keep them on their normal schedule and give them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have taken taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I had a golden retriever growing up. His name was Rufus! I am very friendly with dogs. I can’t not say hi to a dog if I pass by I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with the pups! I am very good with dogs and cats! I currently live in a two bedroom apartment. It’s not the best for dog/cat sitting. I would love to go over to owners and do it!

About: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!

“She is Fantastic! Treated my boy like a champ. Absolutely the best service I’ve ever had. Would recommend her 110%”

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

About: I have taken care of pets for a very long time since I was about 12 years old. I guess you can say it runs in the family to love pets so whenever our family or friends needed a sitter, we had open arms! I went off to college and continued pet sitting and now my journey continues. I am currently working full time, remote so my hours are very flexible. I can always make time for my little furry friends! Schedule is flexible! I am very outdoorsy and full of adventure. I always make sure to walk the dogs while also being prepared with anything they might need. I’m also very careful and make sure all furry friends are in a safe environment.

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my lifelong experience caring for and rehabilitating animals. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, providing care for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Beyond basic care, I understand animal behavior, allowing me to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. I’m patient, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, ensuring they receive not just care, but affection and love Taking care of pets is a natural part of my everyday routine since I have always been surrounded by different types of animals my entire life. I have cared for pets both in my home and in their owners', ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets at my home, I create a calm and secure environment, following their usual routine as best as I can. I provide regular feeding, playtime, exercise, and any necessary special care as well if I'm at the owners' house. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: NOTE: If you feel inspired to donate to a LEGIT rescue organization ARWOB is the real deal. ARWOB rescued a SIAMESE kitten (see my first few pics) who found me in Mexico before Thanksgiving 2017. None of the neighbors wanted to keep her & there are really no rescue places or shelters there. Kerrie was an angel & was able to send someone to Colina De La Presa to pick her up. She was transported across the border & hopefully found a new forever home. It was synchronicity that the Siamese sweetheart found me! She was precious😻 Worked for years independently as a sitter/walker in WLA, WEHO. Psych degree UCLA. I've helped family/friends/neighbors for years. I love all kinds of animals & reptiles. Some very high end clients personally requested me for visits, overnights & holidays when I worked 3 years at the Pet Staff, Inc. Available for late morning & Mid-day dog walks, cat visits: Hillcrest, N.Park, Point Loma, Mission Valley (will consider La Mesa, La Jolla regions). Available for occasional overnight/housesit visits & NIGHT & weekend walks (please inquire) Worked 3yrs w/Pet Staff (WLA, BH,Century City, SM, Palisades, WEHO, Mid Wilshire, Studio City) & Rover for 2 yrs+ I'm also a Reiki practitioner & will offer energy sessions to your pets if you'd like. If you have pets with separation anxiety or other concerns, we could see if a little extra focused & intended energy therapy might help them (pls inquire). I've facilitated reiki with humans and animals & helped patients & staff in hospital ICU, Hospice/Palliative & a PTSD unit. Personal work with TBI & cancer patients, neighbors, office clients. I facilitated as a reiki volunteer at VA medical La Jolla in the hospice/palliative unit. I've worked in education & have a current teaching permit for CA. Current status verifiable online CTC. Certified 18 yrs. FBI/DOJ, fingerprint cleared & a mandated reporter against child abuse. VA federal system fingerprinted. As an independent contractor in pet care, I'm extremely observant & intuitive with animals & well versed in animal (and human) behavior. I understand that pets are "kids or family members" & they have deep emotional capacity & sensitivity-just like humans. I honor & respect these qualities. When fur babies are happy-their fur parents are happy. Why I love dog sitting: Since childhood, I've been around animals. We had two dogs and a cat. I saved tarantulas hit by cars, helped injured lizards and birds that fell out of nests. I've always had a love for animals & nature. My experience administering medication: Yes. And I closely observe behavior/mood, appetite, bm, bladder, physical activity & skin conditions when I care for pets & will leave you detailed notes or call if necessary. I was medical POA for an elderly parent, so my medical & observational skills from the past 23 years help for both human & pet care needs. Occasional walks & potty breaks with family pets. I'm looking to possibly increase my petcare activities in the future. I may be expanding Reiki with pets too. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I'm patient, observant & kind. I'll check your mail, water your plants, send pics or texts daily if you wish. I'll also put out the trash bins if I housesit & will maintain a clean environment & respect your space & wishes. I'm good with your neighbors too~if they see me with your pets.
