Pet Sitting South

“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.”

“Mike was so great to care for my animals. He bonded with the temperamental male Oslo, absolutely left my place and feeding areas spotless. He sent great candid shots of each one of my 3 cats, they looked very relaxed and happy. No issues at all. He was so nice to meet in person and I would book him again any time! Really prompt and communicative.”

About: Growing up, we always had a family dog, so I approach my care as if your pet is a member of my family. My experience began in college when I would housesit/dogsit for a family near my campus who needed care for their dog when they went out of town or couldn't be home on time. Their dog needed medication, so I was responsible for feeding and administering the medication. Throughout the years, I've helped out friends and family and have been a certified Rover sitter for four years. I work remotely and take walks during the day, so adding your pet's care to my schedule is not a problem. I would love for your dog to join me on my walks or visit with them during the day for companionship and playtime. *NOTE* I am also able to provide doggy daycare in your home rather than mine if that works better for you. My neighborhood is great for walks with the ability to stay on quieter streets if your dog prefers less traffic noise. Regarding care in your home, I am happy to follow all instructions that keep your pet comfortable in their space. I find it very important to keep your dog's schedule as normal as possible to avoid any distress while you are away.

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 been an animal person since I was 7. In our house there always been some cat who fully believed it owned the house and graciously allowed us to live in it. 4 years ago life upgraded me to the world of dogs when I started dating a guy with a big rescue pup. My Watson taught me the true meaning of loyalty, peeing a little in joy, and strategic snack theft. I’m also a registered Pasadena Humane volunteer, so your pet gets someone who knows how to handle shy pups, energetic zoomers, cuddle lovers, senior sweethearts, and every personality in between. I take safety seriously and affection even more seriously. If your dog likes people who speak fluent “treat,” “walk,” and “butt scratch,” we’ll be a great match. My job is remote with a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of my 7 yo son and your furry kids. I am almost always available to take your pet home and have a lot of possibilities to visit them in your house. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the green and safe neighborhood of Pasadena. I have a fenced balcony for the fresh air and very cozy, walkable surroundings.

“This is our first time using Rover and meeting Lifan. The whole experience was absolutely first class. We met Lifan a few days before our trip and we introduced her to Hargrove, our sweet old lab mix pup. She took fantastic care of him and after each visit we got an update in the form of a note and a few pix of our boy in the garden, having a bite to eat or out on a walk. We were never in doubt that he was receiving superb care and attention and would not hesitate to use both the Rover app and Lifan again. Thank you.”

“Kate came over to meet our dog Louie, she was so engaging and loved him up. I am going to have her back when I travel to check in on my dog and cat. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've taken care of family and friends' pets for many years. I began learning to understand dog behavior when I became a volunteer dog walker at the Utah Humane Society in middle school. Since then, going on long walks and hikes has been one of my favorite things to do (along with giving belly rubs and snuggles!); with my car I can easily travel to good spots. I am very flexible person who can do both long and short walks, whatever your dog might need! I will take very good care of your dog and I can't wait to meet them! I'm currently an open book, available to work most hours. When I'm not booked, I will be trying to begin my own website design business. I won't take work on Sundays for faith purposes but I can work the rest of the weekend. I will always give time for a meet and greet session, especially at the beginning of our acquaintance. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable before we begin working together:) When I'm visiting your home, I am more than willing to take your dog outside to play and give your pet plenty of love and attention. I'll treat the space of your home with the utmost respect. I will follow any detailed instructions pet owners share for mealtime, walks, training/tricks, dog parks, toy rules, and general schedules.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs — morning walks, fetch in the park, belly rubs on the couch, you name it. I know every pup has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow yours exactly as you've set it up. I'm reliable, tidy, and comfortable caring for your home while you're away. Your dog gets a companion who's actually excited to be there, and you get peace of mind knowing your home and your furry friend are in good hands. I'm a night owl, so evening walks and feedings are no problem. I'm home most of the day, so potty breaks and playtime fit right in. Evenings are for dinner, a walk, and winding down together. At night I'm right there in the house, so your pup gets to stay comfy in their own home with me nearby — no stress, no big changes to their routine. Since I offer overnight house sitting, all the care happens in your home — which I think is the best setup for your pet. I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, portion sizes, walk routes, medications, and any quirks or preferences you share with me. I keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel secure while you're away. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing. Beyond the pets, I'll keep your home tidy and secure, making sure everything's as you left it when you return.

About: I am a very kind, patient loving woman who has always had fur babies and treat everyone's fur babies with love and compassion. Animals only want love and I will always give that to them. As of right now, I am unemployed so I am available 7 days a week. When i do normally have a job, I will still be available 3-4 days a week. I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.

About: I regularly volunteer with cats at Kitten Rescue and Pasadena Petco, and have experience administering care, food and medicine to cats with disabilities and senior cats. I’ve been a lifelong cat lover and currently care for my own cat, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll work at their pace and make sure they receive the care, attention, fresh food and water, litter box maintenance, and companionship they need. My goal is to help your cat feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that trust is the most important part of pet care. Available Monday through Friday for drop-in visits between 5 PM - 10 PM; M, W, Fri from 6:30 AM - 8 AM; 12-1 PM; 5-10 PM; Flexible schedule on M, W, FRI due to working from home. Available Saturday and Sunday all day for drop-in visits and house sitting. I like stocking my cat’s environment with blankets, beds and toys and offer lots of love and cuddling. I will follow my client’s instructions and preferences to keep their cat comfy and happy.

“Sara was awesome! She dropped in on our first time staying away overnight from our quarantine kitty and she was so kind and gave us a lot of comfort. One of the kitties got sick and we had some ant issues that she also cleaned up for us - so nice and will definitely be contacting her again!”

Having been a proud dog owner (passed 2017), I do not currently live with any pets or children at home, allowing me to provide undivided, 1on1 attention to your pooch. Our pets play a key role in our ability to live happy lives, which is why I take sincere joy in devoting my time to owners who could use a helping hand (or walking legs).

Skills: - Commanding attention, even around distractions - Behavioral training, continuing basics, new habits - Punctual service for walks, drop ins, and other care - Getting Active! Walks, Runs, Playtime (indoor or outdoor), dependent on your pup’s needs & preferences including: toys, on-leash, light/fast pace, inside, etc. Whether your pup is a bundle of high-energy or more of a gentle spirit who takes life at their own pace, I will get them the exercise and attention they need.

I’m available bright and early (7am/8am), around lunchtime (12pm), and once again in the early evening (2pm/3pm). *For boarding requests 4+ weeks out, please inquire directly about specific dates.

“Tori was great! She sent detailed updates and asked questions when she saw something that may not have been normal. She took great care of Riley and Moxie and sent excellent photos as well. I will definitely use her again!”

Naomi P.

“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”
