Pet Sitting Mission Canyon

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have professional experience working with dogs. I take a patient, educational approach to animal care and training, and believe building trust is an important first step. I'm happy to work with you to ensure I'm meeting the needs of your pet. Please let me know what your expectations are concerning frequency of walks, play time, or other enrichment activities. I do work a part time job Wed-Sun from 9-2. I have taken care of both cats and dogs in clients' homes, and am flexible when it comes to a pet's needs. Whether your young pup needs some play time, or your older dog needs meds and a slow wander through the neighborhood, I'm happy to join them on their adventures.

About: Hi,I’m Maddy, an energetic, reliable pet sitter experienced with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I do patient walks, keep routines steady, and gives fun photo updates so you always feel at ease. I love making pets feel at home and owners feel at peace! I’m currently going to school part time so my schedule is pretty open! I always have time to squeeze in some nice evening walks or even morning ones as well! I keep all pets safe, happy and comfortable while following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and care. When playing in the backyard or front yard I always ensure all gates are closed.

About: A lifetime of pet ownership has taught me that earning an animal’s trust starts with understanding them. I’m attentive to their body language, respectful of their boundaries, and comfortable adapting to different personalities. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. Every animal deserves patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want someone to give my own. I also love getting outside, walking around town, and being part of the local community. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a little adventure, or simply keeping your pet company at home, I genuinely enjoy making time for the animals in my care and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I’m currently in between career transitions, which means I have more flexibility and availability than usual. I have the time to be attentive, accommodating, and present, whether that means regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or giving your pets a little extra company throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the time and attention they deserve! I understand that every pet and household has their own routines, preferences, and expectations, and I take the time to learn and respect them. I’m a very attentive listener and follow instructions carefully, whether it comes to feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, or little details that make your pet feel at home. I also recognize that being invited into someone’s home is a privilege and a responsibility, and I never take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide consistent, thoughtful care so both you and your pets feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi my name is Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Raising and caring for my own dog has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ve also worked with him through dog training, so I’m familiar with positive reinforcement techniques and basic training tools that help keep dogs happy, engaged, and well-behaved. In addition to caring for my own pup, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my cousins, family, and friends whenever they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to routines, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the level of care I give every dog. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I make it my priority to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your dog’s routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Services: Boarding, House Sitting, Drop-in visits, Doggy day care. I am available in the mornings or afternoons! Available for holidays and weekends Comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication Meet and greets before the first booking please! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own 7-year-old dog every day, so adding walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention for other pets is something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule outside of work and make it a priority to give every pet the time, care, and attention they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. As a dog owner of 7 years, I understand how important routine, patience, and safety are. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions while making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.

“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and house-sat for families in my community since I was in high school. Whether it was checking in on dogs during the day or spending the night, I’ve responsibly cared for a family’s best friend. I have experience administering medicine to dogs and dealing with ones that may be considered “high maintenance.” I love just hanging out, walking, and taking care of dogs. I currently work full time from 10 am to 7 pm. I come home everyday for an hour lunch so I would be able to come and check in on your pup. I would be able to walk your dog in the morning and check on them during the day. I would feel comfortable taking your dog on walks around your neighborhood.

“My dogs were happy campers when I returned home, and that always make me happy! Ryan's a great guy and he's a natural with dogs.”

“Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!

About: Trustworthy, Loving Pet Care – Walks, Meds, Overnights & More With years of experience—including the honor of caring for my own dog into a happy, well-loved senior life until his passing—I understand the gentle, attentive care pets need at every stage and offer the kind of reliable, detail-oriented care every pet parent hopes for. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or administering meds, your dog will be in safe, loving hands. I’m all about tail wags, clean water bowls, and sticking to your pet’s routine like clockwork. Bonus: hikes, beach walks, and plenty of belly rubs included! I work 8–5 but live close enough to swing by for a lunchtime walk or check-in. Weekends are usually wide open, so your pup can enjoy extra attention and adventure then too! I can care for your dog at my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. I have a spacious patio for playtime and fresh air, or I'm happy to care for them in their own familiar space. Either way, they'll be safe, loved, and well looked after.

About: My entire life I have been surrounded by the best furry family. We had well trained, obedient and incredibly kind dogs growing up. I wished upon a star at 10 years old and voila, I got my first golden retriever puppy as a present a few weeks later. Duke Skywalker was my first big responsibility, from working on potty training to letting him off leash on hikes and on the beach. He trusted me and I trusted him. During the pandemic, he was getting older and I did what I could to help him feel comfortable and loved. Even when he wasn’t able to walk, I’d place him in the back of the car and just sit with him watching the waves cuddled up with blankets. Must have patience with the older pups, and I loved every minute. I have trained my family’s adopted pups and they caught on fast. My roommate has a cat who I help care and train for when she is out of town for work, who knew training a cat actually works. Persistence, love and patience is key! I’m currently in between jobs, figuring out if I want a career switch. I have been wanting to surround myself with pets and helping anyone who needs it. I understand not having as much time as one would like, therefore happy to lend a hand in helping walk, feed, sit, even cuddle if your pet allows. I have a big space in my home and love to go outside and enjoy the fresh air, especially if it’s along the beach on a sunny day. In a client’s home, I would play with my new furry friend in the yard if they have or research nearby safe dog parks, or parks to walk with them to. And if the dogs or cats allow, always up for cuddles when sitting on the couch ‘Netflix & chilling’!

“Shaine was our first sitter for puppy Pixel. Shaine was on time, gave Pixel plenty to do and when I got home Pixel was soundly asleep. Couldn't have asked for a better first sitter.”

“Jenna was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for our cat and rabbit. Our rabbit is a senior and we were very nervous about having to leave him, but Jenna did an incredible job and did his medications and accommodated his specific feeding regimen very well. She gave us peace of mind during our trip and we would absolutely use her again. Thank you Jenna!”

“Skylar was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible. She kept me updated, was reliable and communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
