Cat Sitting Playa del Rey

“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: 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.

“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!”

About: Hello! My name is Andrew and I am here on Rover to help any and all pet owners out there. As an owner of a Husky, I understand there are times when you need pet help in a crunch. I can work to be flexible in any situation that may arise! I am currently working full-time on the weekdays but I am able to fit any pet care into my daily routine as I am flexible. I am currently living in a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony in case any pets need fresh air or to bathe in the sun!

About: I specialize in dog care and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've been the go-to sitter for friends and family for years, helping with walks, feedings, playtime, and baths. I believe pets deserve to feel secure and loved, and I'm committed to making owners feel at ease when they leave their furry family members with me. I have a flexible schedule, working from home which means l'm able to spend most of the day with your pets. Your cat or pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I'm available on most weekends and weekdays, and I keep my schedule open so I can give each pet the time and presence they deserve. I create a calm, clean, and comfortable environment, and I'm happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have. Whether your pet prefers playtime or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe and happy while you are away. I work from home so I am available to be with your pet all day. I currently live with roommates so I would prefer to watch your pet in the comfort of their own home or take them on walk in the neighborhood. I am committed to mimicking the home environment your pet is comfortable in to help them thrive while you are away. I can adapt to whatever lifestyle your pet needs - active and high energy or calming and comfortable.

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.

“Amy has taken care of my cat, Tyler, several times now. It has been nice to have someone reliable for when I am out of town. I love all of her updates and pictures! She responds promptly and maintains open communication throughout the entire process.”

About: Since I was very small, I’ve cared for a menagerie of animals, including cats and dogs, reptiles and small critters, even horses and goats. I’ve had a number of special needs animals of my own, and am very well-acquainted with administering medication and accommodating special needs. After recently losing my elderly dog for whom I had been managing severe epilepsy, and my elderly cat to cancer, I’m used to providing near constant care and love, and now find myself with time on my hands and love to spare. I deeply understand the stress of leaving your pet in a stranger’s care, and I’ll make sure you can see that your pet is safe with me. I live at the beach on a great trail network with walkable parks to give your dogs a taste of vacation, whatever their preference, and have a deck in the trees with large floor to ceiling windows full of birds and squirrels to keep your cats entertained. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. Until recently I was caring for an elderly dog with severe epilepsy that required 3x daily medication, and an elderly cat with cancer who required feeding every couple of hours, so I’m accustomed to my days centering around animals’ schedules. Living at the beach means I take walk breaks throughout the day, and I appreciate that animals give me a ready excuse to step away from my computer. I have a deck in the trees that’s great for sunbathing and creature watching, and am 50 yards from the beach and it’s path, as well as a large local park and trail network along the wetlands. I work in the main space of my home, so it’s easy for me to have eyes on your pet at all times. Wherever they are in terms of their needs, I’m happy to meet them there!

About: Moving to LA meant leaving my family dogs back home. Missing my four-legged besties led me to the world of pet sitting. My experience ranges from caring for Golden Retrievers to Bengal cats. With love and respect at the forefront, I take care of every pet as if it is one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, playtime, walks, or just being present for companionship. Because of this flexibility, I’m more than willing to adjust and mold my schedule to meet each owner’s specific needs and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience by sticking closely to each pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully so pets feel secure and at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything consistent for the pet, which helps reduce anxiety while their owner is away. On top of that, I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments as needed and ensuring they’re happy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

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!

“Tara is very receptive and accommodating to my short term requests. I trust her reports and she sends me great pictures of her time spent with my dog. I’m glad that I have her as a dependable Rover”

About: I've taken care of people's pets since I was in high school. We recently lost our dog, so we miss having an animal around and would love to care for your pet as if they were our own. I am a teacher and have the summer off and long breaks throughout the year, in which I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I love to walk, so I'd love to take your dog with me. I have a small patio where pets can get some fresh air and watch the birds and squirrels throughout the day.

“Aubrie was amazing! So timely and spent quality time with the boys. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“So grateful for Brianna checking in on my kitty while I was out of town! My friend last minute wasn’t able to do check-ins and Brianna was so quick to respond and accept on short notice! She checked in during her visits and sent pictures even if my cat was hiding. She went above and beyond with resetting my Furbo so I could see my cat during my trip too. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your cat sitting needs and will absolutely be rebooking with her for future long trips!”

Mariah M.

“Sarah is the best! Our cats just loved her. She’s communicative and we appreciated getting updates with pics of how they were all doing. I highly recommend Sarah as a pet sitter; we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind.”

Angelica H.

“Sarah and Karl are superb sitters. Our little guy Rufus loved both of them. They are kind, knowledgable, respectful, and willing to do last minute visits. We are grateful for them both!”

About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.

About: Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by my profile. . I'm a dependable, trustworthy animal lover and proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Chance and Kobe. Before them, I rescued a kitten from a shelter who lived to be 18 years old. She had diabetes, so I administered her insulin injections twice a day, every day, for years. . Today, Chance has Addison's disease and corneal edema, so I'm very experienced with administering oral medications, injections, eye drops, and eye ointments (all things he needs now! ❤️). I understand how important it is to follow medication schedules and provide calm, attentive care, especially for pets with medical needs. . I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepherds, which gave me a lot of senior dog experience as I cared for them as they grew old. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, including redirecting behaviors, reading body language, and reinforcing basic training. Because one of my own dogs is reactive, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet's comfort level. I worked with multiple rescues, fostering dogs and cats (a lot of cats). I would rescue them from the euthanasia list at the high-kill shelters, administer meds, as they were always sick, care and foster them until they found their forever home. I also used to manage a doggy day care. . I am a working professional & work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to the pets in my care. While I absolutely adore my dogs, I also miss spending time with cats and would love the opportunity to care for yours or your pups😉! . My pups are family and my BFFs; I do everything I can to give them the happiest, healthiest life possible. I'll care for your pets with that same level of love, patience, and attention, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work remote, which allows a somewhat flexible schedule to do drops-ins and walks. Since I have my own 2 pups, I'm not available for boarding or overnight stays. I would love to follow any instructions you give me so I can care for pet just as you would. Pets love routines and schedules so I will keep to whatever you tell me. I know what it's like to have sitters and want things done a specific way, I'm very good at paying attention to details. I'll send a text when I arrive and when I leave to make sure you know your pet is being cared for.

“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!!”

Debra N.

“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!”
