Pet Sitting Sierra Madre

About: Hello! I'm Michael Lawrence. As a lifelong animal lover and meticulous planner, I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your furry family members. Whether your dog needs a high-energy power walk to burn off morning zoomies, a gentle stroll, or attentive drop-in visits while you're away, I treat every pet with the exact same care, patience, and affection I give my own. Having my own 80-pound, high-maintenance Pitbull means pet care isn't just a part-time job for me—it's my everyday life. Handling a strong, high-energy dog has taught me the value of structured routines, calm leadership, and proactive leash safety, especially during my dedicated mid-day walking hours from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Whether your pup needs a firm, confident handler for power walks or just a patient buddy to stick to their precise daily routine, I treat every dog with the same level of safety, focus, and dedicated care I give my own. Your home and your pet’s routine are treated with absolute respect. During visits and walks, I strictly follow your entry, security, and alarm procedures to ensure your home remains completely secure. I maintain a clean, organized space, always double-checking that doors, gates, and crates are latched tightly before leaving. For walks, I conduct quick safety checks on collars, harnesses, and leashes, and I always keep dogs on a firm leash with clear spatial awareness to avoid unexpected hazards. You’ll get real-time updates and photos so you know your pet and home are in safe, reliable hands.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.

“Very pleased to have found Cathy and Andres on Rover! You can feel the genuine love they have for their four-legged charges. I felt safe and our pup got taken care of...perfect!”

“Vicky is incredibly kind and responsible. She took care of my dogs for three weeks while I was away, keeping me updated daily with texts and pictures, which allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. My dogs absolutely adore her! She is especially skilled at caring for senior dogs, showing remarkable patience and attentiveness. You won’t find anyone better than Vicky—we all love her!”

About: I have not cared for any dogs for long but I am happy to learn, grow, and develop to help care for your pets. I am open to learning new skills that will show the most care and love for your pet. I am currently working and have school but I am happy to care for you pets. I typically finish work at 9 am so any time after that I would be happy to come help you. Normally I care for pets in my clients home and make sure that the pets are receiving constant care. I am good with following schedules and routines for not only the pets but also for the owners home. I want the pets I care for to be safe, comfortable, and loved and bring peace of mind to their owners.

About: I offer dedicated, private boarding in Pasadena with a strict one-family-at-a-time policy. Your dog will receive personalized, high-attention care in a calm home environment, without ever having to compete with pets from multiple unfamiliar households. I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 6 years old. I also spent three years volunteering with the Walk Me Home Rescue group(as a volunteer and foster parent)—walking, socializing, and supporting rescue dogs across a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. What You & Your Pup Can Expect: Attentive Supervision & 1-on-1 Focus: With my flexible schedule, your dog will never be left alone for long and will enjoy continuous attention, companionship, and customized routines. Friendly Playmate or Private Retreat: My sweet 5-year-old Border Collie loves having friends over to play. If your pup prefers quiet solo time, I can easily provide a separate, comfortable resting area alongside private walks and yard time. Secure Backyard Play: Supervised outdoor playtime, fresh air, and safe exercise in our secure yard. Daily Peace of Mind: High-quality daily photo and video updates showing meals, walks, and playtime so you always stay connected. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a social butterfly, or a senior who loves a peaceful routine, I treat every furry guest like my own. Feel free to message me with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pup at a Meet & Greet! I work part-time and am home for the vast majority of the day, giving me plenty of flexible time to give your pet constant attention and supervision. Our household has a fun, active routine: we let the dogs out into our yard every 2 to 3 hours for playtime, fetch, and frisbee. In addition to yard play, I take them on 1 to 2 dedicated neighborhood walks every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your pup will be welcomed into a warm, pet-loving home where they are treated like family. Alongside my own friendly dog, I have a 14-year-old brother, who is passionate about animals and loves keeping pets company with calm companionship and playtime. We prioritize safety and comfort above all. Our home has a secure yard for safe outdoor fun, and pets are never left unattended during activities. Whether your dog thrives on interactive play or prefers a cozy, quiet spot to relax, we tailor our routine to their unique personality and keep you updated with regular photos and message.

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets, (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc) since I was a kid and love seeing each of their unique personalities shine. I spent a few years working at a veterinary clinic and have become very comfortable reading and interacting with many types of pets. I work part time and have a flexible schedule during the work day. I’m able to stop by for a check-in, a playdate, or a walk. I take good care of my home and pets and will do the same for you. I also take pictures of before, during and after so you have a good idea of how your place and pets are doing.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family since the day I was born. I’ve loved having pets growing up as a kid; I’ve owned and cared for a variety of animals ranging from birds and puffer fishes, to geckos and hamsters. I especially enjoy local walks with dogs as it’s a fun way to maintain activity and fitness, while exploring the neighborhood! I typically work full time during the week at my office in DTLA, and commute from Pasadena. Availability: -Monday - Thursday evenings after 5pm (drop-in visits and/or dog sitting in LA, SGV, and anywhere in between) -Fridays* and weekends available (in and around the entire SGV) If you and your pet(s) reside around the Pasadena, SGV, and LA area, I can plan and try my best to accommodate based on your time and needs! I have a large open, but walled/gated yard, with a fenced off dog run section and 2 dog houses. Plenty of shade and water, without any hazardous items.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve had the opportunity to raise multiple dog and cat litters ranging from days to weeks old. I’ve been dog sitting for close friends and family for the past five years and have learned to work with shy, older and more energetic dogs. I’m currently available in the evenings from Monday - Thursday starting at 6:00pm. I’m free to sit and dog walk those days and from Friday-Sunday I have more flexibility for potty breaks, walking and stay in home. In my clients home I always pay attention to possible hazards. I keep all doors shut at all times and make sure to provide a clean space for pets at all times. I’m able to set up play pens and dog proof homes.

“Lune is amazing! Reliable, responsible, and goes above and beyond. I had some special requests for her to grab my mail, etc. She did everything perfectly and kept good communication. Would definitely recommend and book her again!”

Kendra M.

“Joli has been amazing from the first message, to her check in and pictures, to leaving our home in better order than she found it, to communicating to schedule more visits. I was really looking for someone who was not just great with my boys, but also demonstrated professionalism, accountability and that I could find trustworthy of handling the responsibility of caring for my babies. Joli has been the sitter I was hoping for! Thank you so much, Joli, for helping me have peace of mind for much needed time away! Looking forward to having you stay with the boys for many more trips!”

About: Patient, detail-oriented producer keeping pups on schedule with meds, potty breaks, and daily updates. Trusted for sick dog care and vet runs. I make detailed spreadsheets for dog medicine tracking. I work remotely from home and set my own schedule, so I’m free to step out for walks or stay overnight wherever my iPhone goes. Pets aren’t allowed in my place, which is exactly why I love giving back to the pet community. I always follow the owner’s rules and listen closely to their needs for their dog’s care.

“Alexis is just great to send pix and text about any issues. She was able to think on her feet about an emergency ant issue (yikes!) in a cabinet with the cat treats. Will absolutely hire her again and again!”

About: Hi, my name is Haley and I have about 14 years of pet care experience! My closest furry companion is my dachshund-labby mix named Dash who’s been in my life since I was a kid. Growing up with Dash has taught me about being patient, detail-oriented, and compassionate. For the 14 years we’ve been together, I’ve learned more about tick and flea prevention, how to spot signs of heatstroke in pets, pet-walking etiquette, and just generally how each pet has their own unique personalities and quirks! Additionally, I have experience in taking care of and potty-training my relatives’ pets. I potty-trained both of my grandmother’s dogs and watch over them when she is out of town. While in college, I frequently took care of my professors’ dogs on weekends and while they were away for conferences. For the past three years, I worked abroad and had the opportunity to foster a total of seven dogs. I also helped take care of my roommates’ three foster cats. My experience fostering abroad helped me build meaningful relationships with the veterinarians in my community, who taught me more about animal health and caregiving. I just finished a post-grad fellowship abroad and I’m taking some time to ease back into life at home before working full-time. I’m available from 8 am to 11 pm on weekdays and weekends, and can pet-sit over multiple days if needed. In terms of my own pet care, I take my dog Dash on 2-3 walks everyday at 7:30 am, 11 am (depending on how hot the weather is), and 7:30 pm. Dash eats at around 10:30 am and 7 pm. We usually eat together and at the same time (he just really loves having company)! Outside of those times, we’re either lounging inside or playing fetch in the backyard.

“Chris was wonderful with Momo. My dog has special needs due to his age and size. Chris was very accommodating and helped keep Momo comfortable while we were gone.”
