Pet Sitting in North Hollywood

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. I got my dog when I was 5 years old and he was truly my best friend for 17 years. Ever since then, dogs have always been a huge part of my life. After moving from Minnesota to California, I had the opportunity to work on the TV show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan and it’s still one of the best jobs I’ve ever had! Being around dogs every day only deepened my appreciation for how unique and special they are. When I got engaged, my then roommate surprised me with a puppy party Bridal Shower! She knew I didn’t want anything traditional so when I walked into our apartment and there were puppies running all over the kitchen, I almost died of happiness! These days, I’m building my own genealogy research business and looking to spend more time caring for animals again through dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. While I’ve always been a dog person, many of my friends have cats, so I’ve grown into a cat lover too! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy around animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, play time, or just someone caring to check in on them, I’d love to help. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, especially for daytime walks and drop-in visits. I primarily serve pets close to my neighborhood, which allows me to provide dependable care and consistent availability throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention during walks and visits to make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well-cared for at all times.

“My cat took to Elizabeth the minute she walked in (and my cat is very shy!) I felt more than safe knowing she was coming over every day to be her!! Also, bonus, she takes the MOST amazing pics!!! 😻”

“Gabriela's catsitting for our cat Riddle was the definition of above and beyond. Our cat is one year old and very energetic. When this meant that she toppled the auto-feeding machine that we had set up for the mornings (multiple times), Gabriela went out of her way to come to our apartment outside of her scheduled check-ins (multiple times) to make sure Riddle still got fed and to fix the machine (ultimately improvising a clever solution to support it involving a scarf and a bookshelf). Needless to say, we will be getting a new auto-feeder but keeping the same catsitter in the future if we can, haha. Gabriela was attentive and helpful and Riddle was head over hills for her, I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet!”

“Kat has done such a great job getting to know our shy anxious dog, she's very communicative during her drop-ins and we look forward to working with her regularly!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I have experience with both high energy pets and more relaxed or senior animals, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m very attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets are secure at all times. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I provide regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Catherine was simply fantastic with my boy Kane! She was professional and paid attention to the details. My cat was immediately comfortable with her and enjoyed her visits. She provided great updates and photos and made me so much more at ease being away from my fur baby. Thanks so much Catherine!”

“Naomi was fantastic! My cat was clearly very comfortable and happy with her. She did a great job at following instructions and went above and beyond with her care. Naomi is extremely responsive and always sends a ton of pictures and updates. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend!”

“Dayna has been so wonderful for Lyra. She gets lots of plays, her all important food, and lots of pets and bonks. Dayna is responsive, flexible, and brings several delightful touches to her visits. Food dishes are always cleaned, too, which is spectacular!”

About: Cat dad to two wonderful children. In my spare time I rescue, foster, and find homes for cats. I’m comfortable with all sorts of cats, from lazy to spicy, I always let the cat choose their own pace in how they want to interact with me. While I don’t have a dog right now, I grew up surrounded by them and have a lot of experience taking care, walking, and playing with them. I have experience with senior animals and giving medicine when needed. I will treat your fur babies with the love and care I give my own. I’m a copywriter/proofreader who works from home so I’m happy to fit your animal care taking needs into my very flexible schedule. I’m very patient and let the animals warm up to me at their own pace. Whether that’s on walks or when dropping in for a home visit.

“Adam was awesome! We came back to very happy dogs and Adam sent us plenty of pictures to let us know how happy our dogs were. We have large, high energy dogs so this was no easy task! Adam definitely went above and beyond what was expected!!”

About: Looking for someone to consistently take your doggo(s) or even kitties out for a walk? (I take my cat out with her trustworthy backpack!) Or perhaps someone who can pet-sit and stop by whenever needed, and can send pictures, videos, and updates? I've got you covered and would love to take care of your pets! A little about me: • Animal lover and artist here in Los Angeles • Grew up with shelties, always dreamed of having a cat (and now that I'm older, I have one! More about her below...) • Owner of a rambunctious 3 year old rescue Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, who I've worked heavily with on training. Am happy to also work on training techniques and etiquette with your hound - especially when on walks. • Also have a 15 year old wonderfully grumpy elderly Tortoiseshell / Tabby cat (who's a rescue as well), and am familiar with the curmudgeonly ways of elderly kitties. Thank you for looking, and please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm a freelancer and work remotely, and would love to fit your pets into my daily routine. FOR WALKS: • Daily walks (morning, afternoon, evening) • I can work with you and your dogs' needs on their walks - for instance, if they're displaying anti-social behavior, pull on the leash, or bark. This could be in the form of treats / positive reinforcement, leash training, or a mix of both. • If you use an e-collar for your dog, I also have experience with those and have worked extensively with certified trainers for using one with my own Shepherd. (However, I am not a certified trainer myself so please work with one prior to using the collar, if you have never done so before.) PET-SITTING: • For both kitties and pups, I can come by in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be. • Food, walks, cuddling, and / or just sitting and being there with your fur babies are all on the table; just let me know - I am here to take good care of your pets and make them feel loved while you're away. If you are in need of someone to stay over with your pet, we can certainly discuss. While I do not offer care for pets at my home (or at least, not YET!), I would love to take good care of YOUR home while also taking care of your pets. This can include: • Mail pick-up • Watering your plants • Emptying the litterbox routinely • Taking photos and sending updates

“Emily was so sweet with my cat who is a little shy at first. She made the whole process really easy and comfortable for us. We would love to book her again on our next trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

So my schedule is completely open to take care of your pets! I’m available for walking and sitting whenever you need. I currently like in an apartment with plenty of space to look after your pet. My place is completely pet friendly with a park right next to it for walks. If you prefer I also can pet sit in your home!

“Seanna was great! She kept me updated on all her visits. My two cats were in good hands with her. Will definitely contact her again in the future to take care of my babies.”

I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm currently working part time from home, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I'm available for doggie day care and boarding from morning drop off until evening pick up at a mutually agreed upon time. I have a comfortable & peaceful home, fully fenced backyard and a sweet friendly dog (Miniature Goldendoodle)to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have taken care of friends' dogs and neighbors' dogs a lot growing up. I have had the same dog since I was 6 years old, and he is now 16 years old. I love taking care of him and hanging out with him. I have done a lot of walking dogs as well. I am currently looking for part-time work as a server. I recently graduated from college and am looking to focus on personal health for a few months before looking for full-time jobs. Because of this, my schedule and routine are flexible in a way that accommodates pet care. I live in an apartment with roommates, so I do not currently own pets, and I cannot house pets in my place. With my childhood dog, I would always participate in his feeding, walking, grooming/washing, and taking him on walks. I loved sitting with him and giving him pets as well. I am mainly looking for dog walking, pet sitting, and helping with potty breaks as well.

About: I have my own dogs that I love very much and I will love your dogs the same. I also have helped take care of my friend’s dogs in the past so I have years of experience taking care of dogs. I also have open availability to take care of dogs. I can also support very active dogs which not a lot of people can do. I am currently available for full time pet care. I am mainly focusing on dog sitting at owner’s home or strictly just dog walking for any hours needed. I will dog sit at owner’s home for now. My current living situation will not allow for more dogs. I will gladly spend a few hours at owner’s home if that is needed.
