Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in San Rafael Hills, Glendale, CA

“Tracy was so awesome with our dog Nalu. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge/experience with dogs and that she cares/enjoys what she does! Our dog is very smart and will try to finesse the system/us when given the chance, but I can tell Tracy had just the right energy/skills to keep up with him. I’ll definitely be recommending Tracy to our friends/family in the area :)”

“Corinna was absolutely wonderful with my cats during my holiday travels! Her attention to detail really stood out - she provided detailed updates after each visit, complete with photos that gave me peace of mind while away. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, ensuring they were fed, played with, and loved, but she also maintained the pristine condition of my apartment. Upon returning home, everything was exactly as I had left it, and my cats were happy and content. She clearly went above and beyond in her care routine, and I appreciated her thoroughness and professionalism. I would highly recommend Corinna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her for future trips!”

“Tamar is a special treat for your fur baby! Dudley is my 16-year nine month old senior, and she gave him the best care while I was on my 4 day get-away. She went above and beyond my expectations. I hesitate to say Tamar definitely will be my back-up for Dudley, because she may be overbooked!! 😃 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Pixie was the ultimate dog sitting super hero!! She went above and beyond when taking care of our dogs. Pixie bought treats and spared no opportunity to play with them after taking them on nice long walks and giving them the attention they crave. Her communication was on point and I always felt my dogs were in great and capable hands. Thank you so much Pixie you are welcomed in our home to take care of the pups anytime!!”

About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.

“Great communication and very helpful!”

About: Hello fellow pet lovers! I'm an animal enthusiast and recent empty nester eager to fill my days with furry companionship.

Throughout the years, I've extended my care to the pets of friends and neighbors, treating each one as if they were my own.

About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of dog behavior and needs, developed through years of experience and ongoing education. I’m not just a sitter, but a true dog lover who is passionate about ensuring every dog I care for feels safe, happy, and understood. I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality, whether it’s working with puppies to build solid training foundations, or providing gentle, specialized care for senior dogs. I’m experienced in managing behavioral issues, offering enrichment activities, and creating a calm, structured environment that keeps dogs engaged and relaxed. My goal is to not only care for your dog but to enrich their life while you’re away. I provide these services professionally. This isn’t a part time gig out of my apartment or parents home just to earn a few $$ here and there. I’ve dedicated my entire home, career and life towards making sure my /your furballs are taken care of the way nature intended. A love for dogs and cats can only take you so far, the rest falls on one’s knowledge, skills & experience, all of which I personally look for when considering someone with whom I will entrust the lives of the most important members of my family. Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. I dedicate my entire day to giving dogs the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. From walks and playtime to ensuring they’re fed and comfortable, I tailor each day based on the individual dog’s needs. Whether it's a relaxing afternoon or an active outing, my priority is making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved throughout the day. I take great pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for each dog, whether it's in my home or theirs. Safety always comes first, in the form of securing the space, monitoring playtime, and ensuring all pets are properly supervised. I always take the time to understand each owner’s preferences and routines, making sure their dog feels at ease and well-cared-for. By sticking to feeding schedules, using specific training techniques, or providing extra cuddles for dogs who need it, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s individual needs and the owner's expectations. When asked, pet owners love the feedback I offer them.

About: ABOUT ME 😊 I grew up with a pure bred 120 pound St. Bernard, two cats, and turtle to love and care for. I've also had three hamsters, two rabbits, and a ball python along the way, so animals have always been a part of my life and extended family. I'm relied upon by friends, neighbors, and family to petsit or walk their dogs when they're on vacation, sick, or injured. I love watching Cesar Milan's show, Better Human Better Dog, and have been inspired to pursue an animal trainer's certificate. I own and run a small business remotely from home and live with a cat and a dog. I occasionally see clients at my office a mile away for in-person sessions and am gone no longer than 4 to 5 hours when not at home. AT HOME 🏠 I live in a one bedroom apartment with a spacious living room, no yard, no carpet, with hardwood/tile flooring. My lifestyle is clean and minimal. I have an outgoing cat who thinks he's a dog and a sweet and easy going dog. They’re both playful, listen to commands, and get along with other friendly dogs, cats, and people. I strictly follow the owner's instructions and pet care routine given while adding, love, cuddles, and play time as needed. I also have separate room my cat/dog can stay in if the pet I'm sitting needs a little break from other animals or alone time with me. ON WALKS 🐕 When going on walks, I like to keep dogs close enough to avoid dangerous situations yet loose enough for them to explore. Unless the owner restricts it, socializing with other dogs is fine with me so long as the other dog is leashed and willing to socialize too. I grew up with a VERY large 120 pound St. Bernard and am experienced in walking large dogs that may bolt when getting excited, so keeping them calm and re-directing them to follow my lead is a must for their safety and well-being. I like to reward good behavior with love, attention, petting, and treats. Not-so-good behavior is re-directed in a calm and firm manner, but never reprimanded nor rewarded. Regardless of the pet's behavior, patience and understanding is key! MY POLICY ⭐ * NO PEE PADS ALLOWED. I only accept dogs that are fully housebroken and trained to relieve themselves outside. I live in an apartment and cannot afford to have other dogs smell any trace of pee/poo and be tempted to instinctually “over-mark” any “territory”. * A MEET & GREET IS REQUIRED prior to booking daycare and boarding requests. Daycare Hours: 7am-6pm, all other times are considered after-hours. Walking and Drop-In Hours: 7am-8pm, all other times are considered after-hours. Boarding Pick-up/Drop-off hours: 7am-8pm, all other times are considered after-hours. * Pick-up and drop-off times must be scheduled before booking. This helps makes sure all of your pup’s stuff is ready to go when you arrive. * If you are more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled drop-off or pick-up, it will need to be rescheduled and will be charged a $20 late fee (plus additional Rover fees). I generally can accommodate changes in travel plans, so please let me know when plans change. * Anything scheduled during after-hours requires a fee of $40 (plus additional Rover fees). Scheduling during after-hours is not guaranteed. * Please plan your booking accordingly and be on-time to avoid the cost of fees or extended care. If your flight times are during after-hours, consider dropping-off a day before or picking-up the next day. * Please provide the following items when boarding your pet: -Food/bowls -Poop bags -Leash/collar -Bed/blankets/toys/treats (optional) * IN CASE OF ILLNESS OR MEDICAL EMERGENCY, please be prepared to provide payment directly to the care facility if your pet requires medical attention in your absence. If your preferred veterinarian or 24 hour hospital is within 5 miles of my home, then please provide that info, otherwise I will choose the closest most convenient one. If an owner does not respond to my emergency calls or texts in a timely manner or fails to provide payment for medical care, then their pet will be subject to Rover’s emergency protocol under the “Rover Guarantee” policy. Please note that I cannot cover any costs to care for your pet any time for any reason.

About: I grew up with dogs, so I am especially familiar with how important they are to family dynamics! As a result, it is always my goal to approach any interact with care and patience; I understand that all animals have their quirks! I have worked in the pet industry so I am well equipped to handle near all circumstances such as medication, dietary restrictions, and activity requirements. I am a full time student at UC Berkeley! I have class Monday through Friday so please be understanding of my own restrictions. I am mostly free all day Saturday and Sunday. I am unable to care for pets in my home as I already have pets of my own. I am very open to any service such as walking, feeding, medication, and check-ins, but I am not a trainer and cannot provide advice in that realm.

“I was so happy to have Karen look after my two kitties for a long weekend. She communicated with me every day and sent plenty of pictures. I could tell from all of the playtime pics that they warmed up to her very quickly. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

Erica T.

About: I'm the friend all my friends call to pet sit. I love fur babies and will treat yours like my own. Growing up with animals, specifically dogs and cats, makes caring for them second nature. I'm available weekdays and am open on the weekends as well to care for furry friends. I work on Sundays 8am - 1pm FYI so Sundays my best availability is after 1pm. I can make exceptions if need be, but this is my general schedule. I am available to watch your pet at your home or mine, depending on what is best for your pet. I will follow your instructions regarding their overall routine (feeding times, your ideal walking schedule for dogs, treats, etc.). If your pet has any specific needs, let me know. I'm here to maintain continuity for them and give them TLC in your absence.

“Samantha has been an absolute joy to work with these past few months. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and kind. My pup adores her. Sadly she’s moving out of the area and will be very missed, but if you have a chance to have her look after your pets I can’t recommend her enough - you won’t find better.”
