Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in San Pedro, Los Angeles, CA

“Emily once again took amazing care of our two cats! She manages to get photos of our shy cat and plays with the rambunctious one. Our cats never seem lonely after her visits--which is so wonderful.”

“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!”

About: Good energy translates to calm dog! I don’t just “watch” pets — I build trust and companionship with them. I treat every pet as if it’s your own. If you tell me 8am, I’m there are 7:50am! I’ll give consistent updates to you. Communicating clearly and proactively (photos, notes, or even little videos) so per parents know they can truly relax when I’m in charge. I can handle emergencies calmly and responsibly and prioritize the well-being and comfort of each pet above everything. I currently work full-time, but I’m available on some weekdays after 4pm. Weekends are my thing! I’m an early bird and like to walk as early as 6 AM. I have a back up bungee leash and it wraps securely around my body to make sure your dog won’t get away from me and it safe.

“Brianna went above and beyond taking care of my cat. She's absolutely wonderful, and I can't recommend her enough!”

“John was an excellent cat sitter. He was very communicative, so we were relieved every time we received a text with pictures from him. He followed the instructions we left for him. Our little guy was taken care of very well during our stay away. We will definitely contact him next time we need to leave.”

About: We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care. One of us works from home 5 days a week and the other works from home 2 days a week. With the exception of some meetings, can be flexible to provide care at most times of the day. In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

About: A lifelong animal lover, I grew up obsessed with learning everything about dog care and behavior. Now I channel that same enthusiasm into pet sitting and dog walking — giving each animal individual attention, plenty of playtime, and affection. Since I know how hard it is to be away from your pets, I make sure to send fun photo updates and keep you in the loop. With years of experience caring for different animals (check out my photos!), your furry family member will be in loving, reliable hands. I work from 8:30AM to 4:30PM on weekdays, but can take a dog walk on my lunch break! On weekends I'm completely flexible and available. When dog sitting in a client’s apartment or home, the animal is my top priority and the first thing I’ll do is ensure absolute safety. Then I clutter my calendar with alerts so as to make sure I keep the exact schedule your puppy is used to!

“Last minute booking and Shelbie was quick to respond. She was amazing- my pup was being shy and she took her out and took her time to gain her trust. Soon after she did her magic my dog ate and became comfortable and herself. Thank u so much ! Life saver and appreciate the great communication !”

“Hands down, the best dog sitter you could ever ask for. Ashley was accessible, friendly, incredibly reliable and assured me that Sullivan was in good hands during my trip. Highly recommended!”

About: I have had pet dogs for most of my life and miss having their presence in my life here in my recent move back to California. Walking is one of my favorite exercise modes (at pace that matches your pet). I am affectionate and will provide care for your furry friends. I also have experience caring for cats, rodents, fish, and reptiles. Working from home for the next few months and looking for breaks from time behind the computer. Can walk at whatever pace matches your pet. I am punctual and communicative and recognize that open dialogue provides pet parents with the reassurance they need that their loved ones are taken care of while they are away

About: Ive taken care of dogs/cats of different a kinds through the years. I make sure to have your furry friends well fed and set up to the needs by any means. I’ve made sure to keep certain schedules if needed for any type of necessity. And one thing I make sure is to have happy pets so that you have a happy mind. I am currently available at any time and any day if needed. I will be able to care for pets full time if needed. Weekdays morning/evenings/nights. Weekends morning/evenings I have easy access to hiking trails and dog parks. I can also take your fur babies on long leash walks or scenic stroller walks as needed.

About: Im a part-time student and artist with a full-time job during the week. Growing up with dogs of all ages, including sweet seniors with powdered sugar faces (gray hairs), has given me a deep love for pets. I started pet sitting at 19 and had the joy of caring for a wonderful family with 12 furry and feathered pets—three dogs, four cats, and three birds! And now recently they took in two rescues! I took my responsibilities seriously, ensuring each pet was well-fed, happy, and loved. I sent regular updates and photos, sharing their adorable quirks with their owners. The family was dedicated to rescues, recently adding two more cats to the mix. Although they are relocating now, I treasure the bonds I built with the pets and even received an offer to adopt one! Pet sitting has not only supported my schooling but filled my heart with joy. I’m excited to meet new pets and assure their owners that their loved ones are in caring hands! Looking forward to making new furry besties! I work full-time on weekdays from 8 AM to 5 PM. My art 🖼️ and studies 📕 take place at home 🏡 or in a nearby café 🍵 or library ✨. During my pet sitting, I followed a routine that allows me to go straight to the house after work to clean up and feed the cats and dogs (including the 3 birds) before settling in to continue my work, whether at the house or elsewhere. During the early morning I’d wake up and make sure everyone was taken care of and everything was cleaned and put back to its original space before getting my day started! I’d adapt and change my routine that fits for the pet if needed especially if the weather is harsh so I’d keep an extra eye to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. When caring for the pets, I love to cuddle 💕and play with them. I often chat with them while handling my tasks around the house, treating them like my best buddies. During cuddle sessions, I might turn on the TV or read a comic on my phone, balancing work and play. Many of the animals I cared for were homebodies, while some enjoyed their time outdoors too. 🏃

“Amanda is great! She gave my cat daily drop-in visits for a week while I was out of town, and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is very nice, professional and responsible. All around a very positive experience!”

“This was my first time with Verne & Rover and it was a very positive experience. My 18 year cat has a lot of medical issues and has particular needs. Verne saw to Cleo's meds, gave her some loving, and made she her box was clean. Verne also sent me pix and videos of Cleo and she seemed quite content and talky. I'll be heading out of town again soon, and will not hesitate to contact Verne.”
