About: I've raised a kitten for a year with my roommates before I had to move, I adored taking care of her and miss my bestie every day. I'm currently taking evening classes and have a lot of free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm very flexible and would love to add animal time into my every day routine. I cannot board animals due to my apartment's regulations, but am happy to watch your pets in your home or take them on adventures outdoors.

About: 🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐕🐕‍🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈‍⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈‍⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!

“Emily is the best and the sweetest! She’s been walking Curtis while I’m at work for a couple weeks now and he is always so happy to see her. It’s clear that she cares for your pup as if they were her own. Emily is also so respectful, she asked questions to confirm his habits, what I like to do with him on walks, and if there’s anything she needs to look out for. It means a lot that she takes such good care of my sweet boy and respects my home. Will definitely continue to rebook weekly!”

About: With 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I specialize in the extra attention required for puppies and senior dogs. I am highly experienced in managing puppy energy, maintaining potty training schedules, and reinforcing basic commands. For senior pets, I offer a calm environment and gentle companionship. Whether your pet needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet cuddle on the couch, I adapt my care to fit their unique personality and routine perfectly. I’m currently working in a school setting. I will be available after school hours. I will have more availability during school breaks. That would be holidays, spring, and summer. I have full availability on the weekend. I would love taking them on walks. Depending on their energy or needs, it can be long or short. If there’s a park nearby I’d love to play fetch or run around with them. I always have treats on hand to reinforce basic commands.

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around animals and have continued caring for pets through house sitting, pet sitting, and travel throughout the years. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, multiple-pet households, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and administering medications when needed. I’ve cared for everything from energetic dogs that love long walks and playtime to older pets that need a calmer pace and extra attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep things as familiar as possible while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, respectful of your home, and happy to provide photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available throughout the week for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine and plan my schedule around their individual needs. I take safety seriously and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, crate instructions, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety concerns are handled carefully. When staying in a client’s home, I also treat the home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away.

About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.

About: I am looking so forward to providing walks, visits, and enrichment to your pets. My experience with dogs comes from a variety of sources, including raising puppies for a non-profit Service Dog organization; being half of a registered Therapy Team with my big black Lab, Checkers; and loving and caring for my own beloved dogs for the last 17 years. I have worked as a canine enrichment tech at a pet resort, providing walks and other forms of enrichment, such as bubbles, puzzles, interactive toys, and revisiting basic commands, for dogs that needed more frequent or individualized attention than the standard board and care and playgroups could provide. I'm happy to bring this to your dogs, too. I am a Fear Free-Certified Pet Professional, and a Certified Dog Trainer-Comprehension, as well. As of April 2026, I received my certification in Animal Naturopathy, and a certificate in Canine Enrichment as well. I currently have a foot and ankle injury that leaves me unable to offer dog walking services, but feel free to request a drop-in visit with enrichment activities custom -made for your pups. I am able to work early mornings through noon on most days. And when I say early, I mean even earlier than you're probably even imagining. I have a fenced yard and a split-level home, and can easily crate your dog, or give them a separate, cozy space of their own.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rossmoor. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
