About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 7 years as well as fostering when I can. Your dogs will be treated like my own! Both neighbors & family members have offered me the chance to pet sit before anyone else because they knew their dogs were not only taken care of, but loved. There have been occasions when I could not pet sit & they moved around their vacation days just to have me over. They know my experience with dogs goes beyond my own & extends out to strays & for that reason, they trust in my ability to care & love for their animal friends. I’m very willing to bathe, give special care, run errands if necessary for the pet & tend to special instructions left to ensure the pets safety & well being. I take care of my three dogs on a daily basis from morning to night from feeding, timed medications, walks, backyard time & cuddles to their hearts content! It’s a must to understand all the rules & boundaries with pets & their owners. One of my own dogs has medications that cannot be missed & I have also watched after other dogs who have special dietary restrictions & have medications that need to be taken on time. In my experience, special care comes with frequent bathroom breaks, more love & attention, & a watchful eye. These are some of the things I’ve taken on while watching dogs/pets.

About: I offer patient, personalized care with experience in senior pet support, and shy or anxious animals. I treat every pet like family, with love, structure, and attention to detail. I am self-employed, and my schedule is open. I prefer to schedule walks from 7am. I live in Lake Arrowhead, and am open to Crestline to Running Springs. I treat them as members of my family. I believe that all animals should be treated with respect and recognized as individuals. Getting to know your dog is half of the fun for me!

“Shawna was the best! Super communicative and really helpful! She even brought some of my packages in for me! Definitely would hire Shawna again. Thank you!”

“Ivy is the best sitter I've ever booked. I can't even put into words how above and beyond she goes. My cat has a heart condition and must get medication twice a day. Ivy takes such amazing care of him. She takes amazing care of my babies and my home. When I book her, I know I can travel and work without a worry. Thank you so much Ivy!”

About: Caring for animals is my calling in life! I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University. As a dedicated veterinary technician and docent for the Big Bear Zoo, I have the privilege of providing exceptional care to a wide range of animals and pets. My commitment to the wellbeing of all animals goes beyond just a job; it's a lifelong passion! I'm currently working full time at an emergency animal hospital off the mountain. However, I work double shifts to allow myself some days off during the week and look forward to making some new furry friends! Caring for pets in a client's home is a responsibility I take very seriously, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away. My approach to in-home pet care includes: Meet and Greet: I begin by meeting with the client and their pet(s) to establish a rapport and understand their specific needs and routines. Feeding and Hydration: I adhere to the provided feeding schedule, ensuring that pets receive the right amount of food and fresh water. Special dietary requirements are noted and followed diligently. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise and playtime are essential for a pet's physical and mental well-being. I engage in activities tailored to the pet's age and energy level, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a leisurely walk. Medication and Health Monitoring: If the pet requires medication or has specific health needs, I administer treatments as prescribed by the veterinarian. I also monitor their overall health and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Grooming and Cleanliness: Maintaining the pet's cleanliness is a priority. I provide necessary grooming, including brushing, bathing, and litter box cleaning, to ensure they are comfortable and hygienic. Affection and Companionship: Pets often thrive on companionship and affection. I spend quality time with them, offering cuddles, petting, and positive reinforcement to alleviate any separation anxiety. Security and Home Care: I maintain the security of the client's home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked, and I handle any mail or packages. This gives clients peace of mind while they're away. Daily Updates: Regular communication with the client is crucial. I provide daily updates through texts, photos, or videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained, experienced and prepared for unexpected situations, including medical emergencies. I have contact information for the client's preferred veterinarian and am beyond qualified for basic pet first aid. Respect for Property: I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Overall, my goal is to create a stress-free and nurturing environment for pets in the client's home, allowing them to thrive in their familiar surroundings while their owners are away.

About: Hii! My name is ileanna, and I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years now. Growing up, my neighbors would trust me to feed, clean, walk, cuddle, and give medications to their dogs. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs that required me to physically pick them up in order for them to move due to their mobility issues. I don't shy away from difficult tasks such as those. I have experience training puppies of all breeds, from little Poodles to German Shepherds. I am currently a student at a community college, but I am taking all of my classes online. Therefore, I am free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am very flexible regarding my hours. I am very attentive and will not take my eyes off the dogs I care for unless they are in a protected safe space like the inside of their home. Depending on how much the pet drinks, I will refill the water at least 3 times a day. If I am provided with a list of instructions, I will follow it to a tee, and of course, I never get tired of playing with them, or turn away a good cuddle!

About: I have been a pet owner on and off most of my life. I have had all ages of cats and dogs from puppies and kittens to seniors and love them all the same. I currently have 1 puppy and a 1 yr old dog and 3 kitties I am currently working p/t and can make my own schedule so I am flexible. Most of my schedule for the p/t job is mid day and is very close to home I never let my dogs out alone since we don't have a fenced in yard and I don't want them escaping or getting into any trouble with other dogs plus our 5 month old is still potty training so I really like to keep tabs on when she's doing her "business". They get lots of attention play time and love whether indoors or out. We enjoy lots of walks and hikes together as well
