Pet Sitting in Rio Hondo

“Lisa is kind, considerate, caring and my fur babies absolutely adore her. I ended up in the hospital annd had to have surgery and had to make accommodations for my babies to be looked after and she truly was/is a blessing. I am so glad my friend picked you to look after Zeus & Zeke. She even asked if she could pick up anything from the store for me. The care and compassion is real and I appreciate you. Thank you for all that you do!”

About: I have great experience with training puppies, since I trained mine myself. Also, I recognize and adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I understand some pets need more attention, while others thrive on independence. I currently do not have a job and I am home for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! First of all, I treat all of my pets with love. I also have a fenced yard and two cages since I have a small dog myself. I enjoy taking my dog on walks and playing with him. I also have dog bowls and toys!

“Iris was very attentive to our Kitty’s care. She provided great communication throughout the process and sent many photos of our cat and kittens while we were away! Would recommend to others and will request again when needed!”

“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”

About: I am currently a dog dad to 1, but have 8 more at home of all breeds, energy levels, and sizes; so I am very well equipped and knowledgeable in pet care. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time playing with and tending to all types of animals. I currently work from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. So I am available before and after those times and fully available on the weekends. I typically spend 1 hour (minimum) with the pet in the morning and 1 hour (minimum) in the evening with overnight stays as needed. I am ready to adhere to any rules or needs for all pets. Whether I let the dog out to pee and spend the rest of the time with them sitting on my lap, leaving a door open for timid dogs to cross whenever they like, or spending time playing fetch or other activities outside.

About: I have one dog myself and a part-time cat. I love pets and will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I also have experience training 3 puppies in the past as well.

This included full time care, and light training, in order to prepare them for their very important futures!

About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.
