“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”

“She was so good with Jessica. Usually she's super shy with new people and she immediately im ate treats from Anne. Her energy was great. Clearly she has a connection with the animals. It was less hard going on a trip knowing my cat was in good hands. She also sent the cutest photos.”

“Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.”

About: I have had and cared for dogs since childhood. I have experience with a wide spectrum of breeds, from the larger, more protective (German Shepherd), to the smaller, more energetic breeds (Corgi). I currently have a 13.5YO male Corgi, and have experience caring for senior dogs that require more attentive care (I recently laid my sweet girl to rest at 14.5YO, after a year-and-a-half long battle with kidney failure). In his prime, my little potato and his late sister were quite the herders, so I am able to keep up with high energy dogs. I have less experience with cats, but my empathetic approach allows me to always find common language with my furry friends. I currently work freelance from home, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your (and your fur baby’s) needs. Though, I might need to run errands during the day or take my elderly parents to doctor’s appointments. But I conduct most of my business in the San Gabriel Valley, rarely venturing over to the west side of town, so I am always nearby. My typical day with my senior, indoor corg includes going on a walk (or to the park) 1-2x daily, depending on his energy levels. I feed him 4 meals a day (versus 3) because he has a sensitive tum, and adding another meal later into the night ensures that he doesn’t wake up with an irritated stomach. I wash his food and water bowls daily with a mild soap to reduce exposure to harmful bacteria. When we go on walks, I make sure to give other people walking with dogs a wide berth, especially if they have a larger dog and are preoccupied looking at or talking on their phones. I always scan the ground for potentially harmful things careless people can leave behind, like chicken bones. I also allow my little guy to sniff to his heart’s content, because I read that for dogs, sniffing on walks provides enrichment akin to reading the daily paper.

“Penny took to Kansas so quickly! They seemed to enjoy each others company and Kansas was great to play with Penny in Penny’s quirky way.”

About: I am a life long dog momma with over 12 years of professional experience working as a dog walker, sitter, and as an assistant to three dog trainers and an animal behaviorist. During this time, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, ailments and temperaments. From puppy probs to working dogs, seniors to super seniors, I have the skill, patience, and years of experience to handle it all. In addition to my professional experience, I also have the personal experience of caring for my own pups from puppy years to senior years, as well as those of my partner, friends and family members, from administering medications to doggy physical therapy and everything in between. I know how nerve wracking it can be finding someone to trust with your babies— that’s why I promise to always treat your furry family members as my own, prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. With me, your pets will be in the most capable hands. Studying and pet care is my full time job! My availability is roughly Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, depending on what spots may be filled. Just send me a message and let’s find a time that works for you! I have extensive experience working with every age group from puppies to seniors, large and small, trained and untrained, dog-friendly and not-so-dog-friendly, animals with disabilities, and can accommodate medications and feedings as well. And I am more than happy to accommodate any other requests! I also have experience with cats, birds, lizards, fish, horses, alpacas, you name it!

“She is diligent and worked with my cats even in a possible emergency. Helped with meds and gave them the attention they needed. Will repeat.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and I grew up with dogs my entire life. my love for taking care of animals came from my mom always taking care / adopting dogs. I can care for puppies and senior dogs as well :)💗 I’m currently working from home, so i’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I have a mini dachshund of my own that I regularly take on walks throughout the day, play fetch and snuggle with I live in an apartment that has a big living room to play in and a mini dachshund puppy to keep your pups company! I can also crate your dog if needed.

“Helen and her husband were so sweet with our little boi Boris! They responded last minute, gave him lots of love and even spent a little extra time with him. Would definitely hire them again :)”

“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Family is owned dogs alll my life so have taken care of dogs of all sizes from a Maltipoo to a Great Dane. I now own my own for going on 5 years(an adopted puggle named Conchita!). I work full time during the week but off fairly early! Can help to sit, play, walk, &/or meet any of your dog’s needs, I’m your gal! My dog suffers from separation anxiety when alone & fears crates/kennels so I’m a firm believer in letting her roam around while I’m gone(making my house is extremely pet safe!) & sticking to routines. As a pet parent myself, it’s crucial that they’re as comfortable as they are at home despite being temporarily separated from their usual environment/pet parents.

About: What Sets Me Apart Caring for animals has truly been a lifelong part of who I am. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old and dogs since my early teens. My parents have fostered and sheltered animals for over 25 years, and when I visit home, I help care for what we lovingly call our little “pet haven.” Through that experience, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies all the way through their senior years. Being around foster and rescue animals has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm, sensitive, or even a little sassy 😊. I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and senior pets who need a slower, softer approach. I also have a deep respect for animal safety and well-being — even rescuing baby birds and bringing them to the local humane society when needed. Animals have always been a source of comfort and joy in my life, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, attentiveness, and care. With a steady weekday schedule, pet care fits naturally into my routine with evening pet visits after 6pm and weekend availability, limiting bookings to maintain focused, reliable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and routines to help your pet feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean, calm environment and am attentive to details like secured doors, safe walks, and proper feeding. I never overbook, so each pet receives dedicated attention and supervision. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
