“Emily is great! She was communicative and proactive while we were out of town for a couple weeks, and did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats.”

About: Hi! I may not have a ton of recent reviews, but I’ve been on Rover since 2019, and animals have always been my passion 🐾 I currently work as a relief veterinary assistant at CAMP LA in San Pedro and have been there for 5 years. Over that time, I’ve worked both full-time and part-time, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and medical care. These days, I’ve shifted into a more flexible schedule so I can spend time with my baby, but animal care is still a huge part of my life and something I truly love doing. I’m also continuing my education to become an RVT and have a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. I absolutely love what I do, and honestly, I’ll probably be more excited to meet your pet than they are to meet me 😅 During the weekdays, I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my little one is with me. Because of that, I do require pets to be very friendly and comfortable around a baby. She’s gentle and used to animals she treats our two cats like royalty. Current availability: Drop-in visits Dog walks (best for dogs ~40 lbs or under) For larger dogs or house sitting, I’m available during evening/night hours (around 8 PM–4 AM). If your pet is a good fit, I would truly love to care for them and treat them like my own. I currently work as a relief veterinary technician, and since becoming a mom my schedule is more flexible, but my little sidekick comes with me 😊 (don’t worry, she’s friendly… just a tiny gremlin lol). Services I offer: Drop-in visits: All sizes welcome, as long as your dog is friendly House sitting: Available for friendly pets Dog walking: Small to medium dogs preferred; larger dogs are okay for walks during evening/night hours when my baby is asleep (for everyone’s safety) Boarding: Small dogs only (apartment rules), must be friendly with babies and cats My goal is to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy me, my baby, and your pet 🐾💛 I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛

About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have house sat for many friends. I’m a recent former veterinary assistant with 6 years of clinical and hospital experience. I understand dog and cat behavior and have studied under amazing veterinarians, so I feel confident I can treat your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I can give medications depending on the pet’s temperament but will do my best. :)

“Britney was incredible from start to finish— amazing communication, she even sent a heads-up message every time she was on her way. Receiving tons of photos with every visit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. ​She proved to be 100% reliable. Even when her own schedule had a minor change, she still honored our booking without missing a beat. Knowing our pups were in such caring, dependable hands made all the difference. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals, and being the primary caretaker for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love big dogs, and have lots of experience. I’m currently a nursing student, and I also teach piano lessons. I have a lot of open space in my schedule to love your furry family members. I’m attentive and will follow care instructions as provided by my client, I will do my absolute best to care for your pet with as much love as you would

About: I've been a cat and dog owner my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. I have experience with cats (including kittens and seniors), dogs (including puppies and seniors), rodents, and a little experience with ferrets. I try to adapt to your pet's mood and "social" preference, so I can be calm and comforting or high-energy as needed. I travel frequently as a freelance sailor and photographer, but when I am here in San Pedro, my schedule is wide open. Because pet-sitting is my only occupation when I'm in town, I'm able to make your pets my priority with zero corporate distractions. I am available anytime from 9am to 5pm for consistent daily midday walks, flexible check-ins, and short-notice bookings. Since I live right here locally and have my own reliable vehicle, I can adapt to your pet's routine seamlessly. I try to keep to your pet's routine and your standard of care-giving as much as possible. Every animal has a unique personality, and I completely adapt my style to match exactly what they need on any given day. If you have a high-energy puppy who needs a brisk, fast-paced walk around town to burn off steam, I am ready to move. If your pet is older, shy, or prefers gentle companionship, I am more than happy to focus on slow sniffs, belly rubs, and quiet cuddles. I treat your home with total respect, leave everything exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed updates and photos after every single visit.

“Bri is amazing and I could not recommend more! She helped me with drop ins very last minute for my pup. My dog is also very leash reactive but Bri has experience with this and was great with her. She was so kind to bring her toys and my dog loved her. Will absolutely be working with her moving forward. Thank you, Bri!”

“John did an absolutely incredible job caring for our two cats! We had a last minute booking because of an unplanned trip. John was available right away for a walkthrough, and was extremely attentive throughout. Significantly, both cats took a shine to him during our first meeting, which is rare and turned out to be a good sign! John is a cat person, and cats pick up on this immediately. It's amazing to see. John gave us constant updates, and even made extra visits. He played with the cats and watered our plants, and even gave one cat medication each day. He even sent us very artful photos of our cats! We felt so at ease being away with John caring for our cats. This confidence in John provided us with immense peace of mind and we are so grateful to him for the care and attention he showed to our beloved cats. We cannot recommend John enough... he's absolutely amazing. You cannot possibly find a better cat sitter.”

“Kayci was amazing! She took such good care of our kittens and she was really thoughtful with the pictures and messages she sent about how the visits were going. We would absolutely work with her again. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our kittens.”

“Have been using him for dog sitting for months now and have now also had him drop in to say hi to our bird and cat. Always very pleased with his care! My dog is older and has special needs, in addition to pretty bad separation anxiety. My dog doesn't put up much of a fuss going to his house, which is a testament to how much he likes Armando, his wife, and Buddah! He was also very accomodating with the drop in visit- we had set up the TV to play while we were gone and it messed up, but he was willing to follow the instructions we sent to fix it so that the animals can have entertainment again! Very thankful to have found such a caring and quality sitter.”

“Bethany is awesome!! I contacted her rather last minute to check in on my skittish cat while I was away for an extended trip. She replied super quickly and we were able to schedule a meeting. My cat is fairly shy, but Bethany took the time and attention to form a bond with him. I would definitely book her again, as she has a lovely personality as well as a wonderful way with animals. Thank you, Bethany! ?”

“Sylvia was very kind and caring with my two almost 11 year old cats; Lloyd and Spot. I really appreciate how considerate she was giving Lloyd the rest of his medicine. I definitely will use Sylvia again the next time I need cat-sitting!”
