Pet Sitting Santa Fe Springs

About: Hi! I'm Arika, and animals have pretty much been my entire personality for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for just about every kind of animal imaginable—dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, and even reptiles. If there was an animal that needed love (or someone to clean up after it), I was usually first in line. Needless to say, my parents never had to wonder what I'd be doing with my free time! For the past 5 years, I've worked in animal rescue, primarily with cats. As an Office Manager and Foster Coordinator for a nonprofit rescue, I've cared for hundreds of cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs—from tiny bottle babies to spicy feral kittens, seniors, and cats recovering from illness or surgery. Let's just say not every cat has appreciated my help at first... but I've learned that patience (and a few treats) goes a long way! While my rescue work has focused on cats, my love for dogs has always been just as strong. I volunteer with a local dog rescue where I walk and exercise energetic dogs, helping them burn off some zoomies while preparing them for adoption. I've also assisted a friend with a dog training program in Bakersfield, where I gained experience with basic obedience, leash manners, and confidence building. When my in-laws head out of town, I become the designated ranch manager for their five dogs and six horses. It's a full house, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Between the dogs demanding belly rubs and the horses reminding me breakfast should have been five minutes ago, there's never a dull moment. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from puppies who think every walk is a treasure hunt to seniors who just want to take their time and sniff every flower along the way. I'm also experienced administering oral medications, eye medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I'm currently exploring becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) because I genuinely love learning about animal health and want to continue building on the experience I've gained over the years. At home, I have two cats and a rescue dog, so I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is to make that as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets! I'll treat them like family, keep their routine consistent, and send plenty of updates and photos (because let's be honest... you're probably going to miss them more than they'll miss you 😉). Whether your dog wants to power walk, sniff every tree in the neighborhood, play fetch until your arm hurts, or simply enjoy some quiet company, I'm happy to match their pace. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! After I drop my daughter off at daycare each morning, I get to spend the rest of my day doing something else I love—being around animals! I'm available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM for dog walks. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers to stop and sniff every flower (honestly, I support both!), I'm happy to tailor each walk to what makes them happiest. If your dog is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, I'd also be happy to bring my own rescue pup, River, along for the walk! She's friendly, well-socialized, and loves making new friends. Of course, this is completely optional and only if you're comfortable with it—I know some dogs prefer one-on-one adventures, and I'm more than happy to accommodate that too! As a pet owner myself, I know how nerve-racking it can be to trust someone else with your best friend. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease while your pup is in my care. My years in animal rescue have taught me how to read animal body language, recognize when a pet is feeling stressed, and adapt to all kinds of personalities. Whether your dog is outgoing, shy, energetic, or prefers to stop and sniff every flower, I'll tailor each walk to what makes them feel safe and happy. Before our first walk, I'd love to learn about your dog's routine, favorite treats, commands, and any little quirks that make them unique. Whether your pup thinks every squirrel is public enemy number one or insists on saying hello to everyone, I'm here for it! Safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. After every walk, I'll send you updates and photos because I know I'd want the same if someone was caring for my own dog. Fair warning... if your pup is especially cute, they may end up becoming the star of my camera roll!

“Brodie was so excited to go on a walk with Nancy. She was very friendly and I can tell she loves dogs. Brodie’s going to be happy going on adventures with her.”

“Sarah did the best job taking care of Jerry! We felt secure and happy knowing he was being treated so well. Sarah also helped us out by taking care of the small details. Jerry loved his visit!”

About: From a young age, it has been my nature to care and share a bond with dogs. As an adult, I have given the best life to my dog Scooby, who is now 15 years of age. He has taught me so much about caring and loving for a dog. Scooby and I go on long walks, and I see the joy he gets from them. It's the highlight of his day. I would like to share this joy with your pet too! I work evening shifts Monday - Wednesday, so I have all morning or afternoon to take a refreshing walk with your fur baby. I have Thursday and Friday and Friday off, which makes me available anytime of the day for another enjoyable walk! I have the upmost respect for people and their personal space. Just let me know how I can help, plus any boundaries, and I'll be sure to do the best I can!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.

“This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.”

“My dog has been struggling with a severe flea infestation, and my doctor said that flea exposure is a big no no for me. Layla has been patient with my dog (he’s touchy) and had thoroughly cleaned him of his fleas. There is a noticeable improvement in his mood and itching.”

About: I’ve taken care of a dog and a cat from a very young age. I know what it takes to tend to their needs and ensure that they’re are happy and safe! 🐶❤️ I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your furry friends! I’ve always loved animals since I can remember and being able to take care of your furry friends would be a pleasure! At home, I have a spacious backyard where my dog can run freely and take care of all her needs. Instead of kibble, I feed her fresh food to keep her healthy and make sure she’s getting all the proper nutrients she needs. She gets a monthly grooming session with specialized shampoo for her skin and fur. At night, she sleeps with a cozy blanket on her bed, which is right next to mine. At a clients home, I will tend to any needs the furry friend will possibly need. Whether it’s from playing with your 4 month old puppy to cuddling with your senior dog, or taking your dog out just for a nice walk. Just let me know what needs to be done and I’ll be more than happy to do it! :D

“We had a great first drop by with Allycia. I know I sent way too many instructions/details, but she handled everything and took a lot of stress off of us. She knows how to handle the dogs and we appreciated the updates and the pics. Thanks Allycia!”

About: I love taking care of animals. They deserve the very love and care they give to us. I’m very patient and loving with all animals. I’m a student athlete at Pasadena city college. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m also working as an assistant coach for volleyball with my 13s team. When I do take care of anyone’s pet I always make sure to take care of them as if they’re my own. I make sure to follow respect any rules and environment I’m in when doing my job.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. Dogs have always been part of my family. I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly small dog and understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and comfortable home. I enjoy caring for small dogs, following their routines, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I will treat your pet like one of my own. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I work on Saturdays, but I am available the rest of the week and always make sure every dog receives the care and routine they need. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a clean home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I have a friendly small dog, Tobby, and I carefully introduce dogs to each other. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog like a member of my family. I usually host one family’s pets at a time to provide personalized attention and a calm, stress-free environment.
