Pet Sitting South

“Having Mike take care of our cats has made us feel at ease when going on trips. Cats are well taken care of, happy with the company, and we get lots of pictures with the updates. Thanks again, Mike!”

Gracielle Ann H.

“It makes such a difference to have someone as trustworthy and professional as Joy to take care of our kitties. From the photos and updates she sends, it is clear they live having her visit with our Puma and Reina. We appreciate her consistency, attention to detail and from bringing our packages/deliveries into the house when we are away. She's very good at making sure everything is done right.”

About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.

About: Hi! I'm Harue, and I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, volunteered at local animal shelters, and rescued my own pet parakeets. Getting to know each animal's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting! 🐶🐱❤️ I've cared for dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, and reptiles, and I love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet company, I'm happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule varies day by day, but I will definitely let you know if I am available during the time of your request! I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs, while keeping you updated with photo updates along the way! 📸 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own, while following their routines, keeping their environment safe, and creating a calm, stress-free experience. Whether we’re going on walks, having playtime, or spending quiet time together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. 🐾

“Kelly did a fantastic job caring for our cat Whiskers while we were out of the country for 2 1/2 weeks. In addition to taking care of her basic needs, she played with her and gave her lots of affection. We really enjoyed receiving her updates and pictures. She was also very responsive to my messages. Highly recommended!”

April C.

“Jessica A. was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly throughout. The photos of GiGi were comforting and reassuring. We’ll absolutely be using Jessica’s services anytime GiGi needs a walk or an overnight stay!”

Christopher L.

“Julien looked after my dog Dexter for about a week. This is the first time I have used Rover so I was a little hesitant but Julien was outstanding! Julien followed my requests perfectly and regularly communicated (with photos) regarding Dexter’s progress. I really felt Dexter was happy and well cared for with Julien. Moving forward Julien will be my “go to” for Dexter.”

Jason P.

“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make each visit feel safe, calm, and enjoyable. Whether it’s a good walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m dependable and attentive to their needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. Being retired gives me the flexibility to make pet care a meaningful part of my day. My schedule is open and flexible, which allows me to provide reliable, unhurried walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I enjoy having a routine and getting out for walks, so spending time with pets is a perfect fit. I can give each pet the individual attention they need rather than rushing through a visit, and I’m happy to work with their usual feeding, walking, and care routines. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, making sure they have fresh water, attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping things clean and secure and making sure everything is as you left it. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Back home in Atlanta, GA, I cared for our family's dogs that lived to ten and fifteen years old, with our youngest dog turning fourteen this year. From walks on the leash, to fenced yard time, to cleaning indoor accidents, every animal deserves the care needed to live a happy, healthy life. Now, residing in LA County, I'm on year two of taking care of my rescue kitty. She is friendly but can always be kept in a separate room for guests' comfort. I live in a quiet neighborhood with safe, walkable sidewalks and have an in-unit balcony for fresh air in between walks! As a professional actor & NBA dancer, my work schedule varies each week. I feel most grounded when I schedule daily walks or park time for myself and would love a furry companion to enjoy the fresh air with! In addition to the entertainment industry, I work a remote job that brings hip hop dance programming to youth in underserved communities. These flexible hours allow room for pet care at various hours throughout the day, so I may continue working towards my passions whilst ensuring the best care for your pet. In my home, I have an in-unit balcony that allows dogs to get fresh air in between walks. The large windows and cat hammock overlooking the balcony make for a great view as well. The unit has plenty of open space with no fragile items/furniture accessible to pets. Just outside of my apartment building is a quiet, walkable sidewalk for leashed walks.
