Pet Sitting Playa Del Ray

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life since I was young. I’ve raised a couple of litters of cats as well. Genuinely would rather hang out with animals than humans most days. I do have free time a lot in the morning and evenings most days and the weekends as well. Taking care of animals is what I want to fill those places with. Anytime I’m taking care of my friend’s pets I treat them like my own. Cater to whatever needs specific for your pet. I curate the experience considering the animals preferences.

About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!

“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She arrived on time, sent me cute photos of the pets, and did everything I asked to be done. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

Jared G.

“Mina was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luca. She was incredibly respectful of our home, always punctual, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luca warmed up to her almost immediately, and it was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for. We also have quite a few security measures for getting in and out of our house, and Mina was always thoughtful about letting us know everything was locked up and secure before she left. That attention to detail really meant a lot to us. We would happily book Mina again in a heartbeat if she’s available. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I've been a Mom of 3 furry dog tails (2 small street dogs and 1 husky) when i was 18yo till 21yo, at the age of 25 I become a Mom for adopted rescue boy of jack russell and rat terrier mix for lovely 4.5 years; during that time occasionally I would take care of my friend Husky at my house, and another friends Cats at their households. I love being around furry friends, play with them, take them on a very very long walks. My schedule is very flexible. I work at coffee shop 6 hours shifts; usually from 8AM till 2PM, rarely from 2PM till 7PM in Playa del Rey. I'm an early morning bird, so waking up around 6AM it's my normal. At doggies household my first priority is to follow the set of rules and guidance from owners. Walks, food at scheduled time. Making sure that pet is comfy, have enough attention and affection.

“Corrina is wonderful! She was thoughtful, kind, and very communicative throughout her visit, and was extremely patient and flexible with our needs. She made us feel at ease knowing our little pup was in good hands!”

“Brianna has helped me out a couple times now with last minute bookings. Clayton liked her immediately and she does a great job looking after him. 10/10 would recommend her if you’re looking for a trusted pet sitter!”

Patrick S.

“She did a wonderful job with our cats. Spent time playing with them and sent a lot of great photos. It made being away from home much easier.”

Elyse H.

“Amy was fantastic! We highly recommend. Our 2 cats loved her. Amy was responsible, diligent and clear about notes, and often went the extra mile to keep our cats happy, healthy and their environment in great shape! I would recommend Amy to anyone looking for a great cat sitter, who clearly is very passionate about the well-being and happiness of your pets when you’re away. They were in great hands with Amy. Thanks again!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 19. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I've regularly pet sat for family and friends, caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and consistent routine while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or plenty of affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a full time teacher, but I am happy to take dogs for a walk in the evenings. I have more flexibility on weekends. My top priorities are keeping pets safe, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, walks, and any special care. In your home, I'll treat your space with respect, keep pets secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I care for every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Wisconsin surrounded by pets, animals, and farms, and have more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. My family has always had pets, and I was helping with their care practically as soon as I could walk! I have experience with dogs of every size, from tiny breeds to gentle giants, and at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I have an especially soft spot for older animals and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentleness they sometimes need. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications, applying routine flea and tick treatments, and checking for and removing ticks. And I’m definitely not just a dog person! I’ve grown up around and cared for cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, and other small animals, and I’m very comfortable in homes with multiple kinds of pets. Most importantly, I know pets are family. I also know how much trust it takes to leave them and your home in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a long walk and plenty of playtime, a quiet companion to keep them company, or just someone patient enough to let a senior pup take their sweet time, I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I’d want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a real part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around work. I’m active, outdoorsy, and love being outside, so walks and playtime are a natural fit for me! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. After years of balancing school and a professional career, I’m very organized, dependable, and genuinely excited to use my extra time to help care for pets in my community. I live in a pet-friendly two-bedroom condo surrounded by beautiful, expansive grounds, including a park right within our community. My neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and low-traffic, with plenty of nearby parks, dog-friendly areas, and even the beach just a short walk away, so there are lots of options for safe walks and outdoor time depending on your pet’s needs and energy level. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll always follow their normal routine and your instructions closely. I know every animal is different, and I’m happy to adjust walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and downtime to what makes them most comfortable. Safety and trust come first, and I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Right now I have a German Husky mix who is 8 years old and two cats, 6y and 8y. They are my babies, I will care for yours as I would mine. I have always dog sat here and there for friends, once for a family of three boxers. Not working currently, open availability. Will work around schedules. Open to long walks, bonus if my dog can come too, he is very friendly with other dogs. If this is not possible it’s also okay. :) It would definitely be best for me to care for pets in your home. Open to working out any situation, just let me know. Thanks

“Danielle is incredibly kind, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also clearly very comfortable and experienced handling larger dogs. My 140 lb pup was happy and well exercised when I got home. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Our mission: have a worry free trip. My wife and I live in a single family home in Westchester CA, about 3 miles north of LAX. We have a female Labradoodle named Sadie (3 years old). She hasn't yet met another dog or human that she doesn't love! We have a nice sized private/fenced backyard with fake grass, concrete, and a small pool (note the pool has an automatic cover that holds 500 pounds). We utilize several pet gates in our home and on our porch to ensure your pets safety. We were both born and raised with dogs. My wife and I both have flexible work schedules. This allows us to give your pets amazing care with lots of in-person attention. We also have a 13 year old daughter who LOVES dogs! Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs and have been a dog lover since birth. My first family dog lived to be 18 years old, the second one 16 years old, and the third one 17 years old. I was taught to take great care of all pets. About my yard We have a nice fully secure and private backyard. It's fake grass, concrete, and a small covered pool (the cover is super secure and holds 500 pounds). We keep the gate locked, so you will not have to worry about your dog's safety. My experience administering medication No problem with medication including oral, ears, and eyes. Drop off and pick up hours Weekends - Drop offs after 8:30am / Pickups until 10:00pm Weekdays - Drop offs after 7:30am / Pickups until 9pm ***Dogs over 70 pounds will be charged an extra $10 per night*** Thanks We currently both have flexible work schedules, so we have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We make it a point to be home as much as possible when we are dog sitting. We have a very secure fenced in yard. Also, we have a dog gate on our front porch to ensure those escape artists stay put! Your dog can sleep wherever you prefer - in a crate, dog bed, on our couch, etc!

About: My name is Maria Teresa and I have spent my entire life around animals. I have always felt they deserve the best! My genuine love for animals goes beyond any human comprehension. I always go above and beyond of what is expected of me because I have pets too and understand that they are our babies. I treat my babies like they are just that, babies! How could you not due to their pure innocent nature? I am a very responsible, loving and caring individual that will always have your pets best interest at heart. I intuitively know what is needed to connect with them, a gift that I discovered at a young age. I also love to laugh and play around so your pet will be highly entertained. You will never need to worry, your pet will be protected and cared for as if you never left. Please let me know how I can help you make your time away from your pet more carefree and manageable. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. MT I'm currently working part time and have a really flexible schedule so I can accommodate different time of the day and week,I can also stay over night as a pet sitter. I provide a safe ,clean and loving environment for all my dogs and cats babies. I stay in a pet friendly building with gates and security so everyone is safe.

About: With over 15 years of experience in personalized pup walking and pet sitting, I’ve cared for all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies/dogs for rescue organizations; in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every pup is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your pup’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each individual's unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks and/or a sniffing safari for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries and use positive gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues and keep their environment clean, safe and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates during each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing 2 safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a dog-friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.

“This is probably the 5th or 6th (or even more?) time Deb has taken care of our babies, and she always does a wonderful job. We're so thankful that she's there to take care of them when we have to be away, and she's always very communicative and helpful. The girls love having her come, I'm sure they can't wait for our next trip so Deb can take care of them again!”

About: Hi! I am a big four auditor completely working from home and just want some extra opportunities to meet with dogs and cats to boost my day! I can always adjust my time to work and am very flexible with my schedules. I love to read books and go hiking in my free time, and I like to discover new coffee shops in my area :) I grew up with dogs and cats and was the main person taking care of them in the house. I have been taking care of my neighbors and friends’ pets when they are out of town for many years and enjoyed those extra puppies and kittens time! I am currently working from home 100%, and can choose to work whenever I want, so I can be very flexible with your schedules. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! I will first try to make your pet to feel comfortable with me - get close to them slowly, let them smell my hands, and play with them if they want to. I also will try to entertain your pets using different toys, and provide lots of cuddles if they like!

“Theresa was wonderful! She sent photo’s and videos of Loki each time she would visit (twice a day) which helped ease our anxiety of leaving him for the first time since rescuing him back in February. Thank you for taking such good care of Loki!!”
