“Absolutely Great Sitter!!! I would highly recommend. Emily made such an extra effort with the goats on my farm and even tried to milk one that was having difficulties. She followed all my instructions and I would hire her again.”


About: I have been raised taking care of lots of dogs! My parents were english bulldog breeders. I am good at following directions, not easily intimidated by animals, and very patient. your pet has my full attention! I will be available to you and to your pet 110% of the time! I work remotely from my home. My home is fenced in with a large wrap around porch and pool. The yard, deck, and home are filled with toys your dog can play with. Other dogs in the neighborhood are also very friendly.

About: I grew up around animals my entire life and I’ve watched over family friends and friends animals as well. I absolutely love animals and now I personally have 4 dogs. Whether they’re high energy or a couch potato every animal deserves to be loved and their boundaries respected! My work as an EMT only has me working 2 days out of the week so I’ve got a good bit of free time! Being able to work around those 2 days is really easy. On my off days I’d be able to check on your animals 2-3 times a day! I love walking as well, it clears my mind, so the more walks your dogs need the better for us both! While I don’t offer to take any pets into my own home due to my own pets, I am willing to come see your fur babies. I was raised to always respect someone’s home and privacy. Your animals will be well taken care of at all times in my presence with respect to your rules and guidelines.
About: I come from a major animal loving family & have been surrounded by many different types of animals as far back as I can remember! I'm surprised it took me so long to make it into a profession, but I've been caring for other peoples' pets & homes for about 10 years now. My schedule is currently very flexible & I am often open to travel a ways from home for longer sits. I have my own cat, Frank, who is fairly aloof & quite understanding when I come home smelling like other animals. 😹 My current home is not suitable for having extra pets in it, so getting to sit in YOUR home is great for all parties involved - I get my cute animal fix, you get peace of mind that your pets & home are safe & well looked after, & your pets don't have too much disruption to their daily routine so they're less stressed while you're away!
About: I have always had pets growing up still have some! I love animals with a passion. You can trust me to treat your pet like it’s my own! I have taken a break from work because I want to focus on starting a family so I will be doing some rover jobs on the side. I currently live in a house with a big back yard I am willing to watch 1 dog at my house because I do have 4 other dogs that live with me.
“Maureen blessed us by house sitting our Apollo for a week while we were out of town. He was well taken care of and excited to see us when we got home. Maureen sent photos and text updates every couple of days which was phenomenal because we got to immerse ourselves in vacation without a worry and get the peace of mind about our fur baby. I will definitely be using Maureen again and you should book her too.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — not just cats and dogs, but ducks, goats, pigs, and more! That experience taught me how every animal has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, observant, and I pay attention to the small things that keep pets happy and calm. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy cat, I meet them where they are and make their comfort my top priority. My job is very flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my day with ease. I’ll always make time to check in, play, and give your pet the attention they need — no rushing, just genuine care and consistency. When I’m caring for your pet, I do everything I can to make them feel at home — whether that’s in your space or mine. I stick closely to their normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed, played with, and loved on, and I always keep things clean and cozy. My yard is currently unfenced, but any outdoor time will always be closely supervised to ensure their safety. I also send regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet’s doing — they’ll be in loving, dependable hands the whole time.
About: I’ve spent the past 5 years caring for pets and house sitting, offering attentive and dependable support while owners are away. As a massage therapist, I bring patience and a soothing presence, which animals respond well to. I’ve also looked after pets needing a little extra care, making sure they feel safe and at ease. You can trust that your home and companions will be well cared for. With my mobile massage business, I have the privilege to set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to reliably care for your pets and home. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, paying attention to the small details that matter. Your pets remain in the comfort of their familiar environment, where they feel safest, and I make sure their routines are kept consistent so they stay happy and secure.
About: I completely understand the importance of reliable evening care. Right now, I’m available in the mornings or after 6:30 p.m., and I know that may not fully line up with what you need. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for pets and homes — I raised a dog from puppyhood through its senior years, have a cat I’ve raised from a kitten for the past two years, and I’ve house-sat many times, including a three-month long position. I’m very dependable and attentive, and I’d be glad to help if your needs ever shift to fit my availability. As I have a fur baby myself I understand the need of wanting a good sitter I work part time in the evenings from 2-6:30 and Sunday mornings busy but other than that I am free all day. Thank you for considering me. I try to stick to what the owner wants/does routinely. If no clear instructions are given will ask or do what I would for my animal done

About: Growing up in La Cañada Flintridge, my love for animals has been an integral part of my life since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated towards me, making it clear that caring for animals comes naturally to me. I believe dogs are truly a gift from above, sent to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Huntington Dog Beach is my happy place, where I can connect with these wonderful creatures and witness the pure happiness they bring. As a dedicated medical professional with over 25 years of experience in La Cañada Flintridge, I understand the importance of compassion and care. My my schedule is open. I dream of one day having a dog ranch where all furry friends are welcome, providing love and safety for those in need. With a genuine connection to animals that rivals human relationships, I'm excited to share my love and care with your beloved pets. Currently my schedule is open for pet care. I am able to care for pets during the day but I also can do overnights as well. I believe it’s most beneficial for your beloved pets to remain in their environment of their homes so that they can feel safe and secure.
About: I love and appreciate animals from all walks of life, and I prioritize their well-being. I am lucky to have adopted a Shepsky, and I know how important adventures are for him, and I'm here to provide the best care and attention for your animals. Pet care is essential, and I am always readily available. I dedicate time each day to provide consistent walks, feedings, and companionship. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every dog or cat feels cared for, exercised, and comfortable on a reliable routine. I create a safe and loving environment by following each pet’s normal routine and respecting their comfort levels. In my home or a client’s, I make sure food, water, and spaces are secure. I’m attentive to details like gates, leashes, and medications. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Safety and trust come first, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Provided care to Mocha last minute when I had an issue with the previous sitter. She took really good care of my baby took her out for walks and make sure that she ate. I recommend her!”

About: I've grown up and cared for various pets and animals-lending a helping hand to family, friends and neighbors in my community. I've volunteered at local shelters and learned animal care from several family/friends in the veterinarian industry. I'm super flexible-I work remotely and enjoy the outdoors so your pet will surely have a lot of attention and be well occupied throughout the day. I love making you and your pet feel comfortable and "at home" by taking thorough notes about their daily routine to ensure consistency and trustworthiness.
