House Sitting South Arroyo

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.

“Sarah and David helped us out in a pinch with housesitting our anxious sweetheart, Brock. They could not have been more professional—from the meet and greet, to the pics of Brock, to leaving the place neat and tidy. Excellent guests, even better pet-sitters. 10/10, will book again!”

“Fairuz was very sweet and caring with our Australian Shepherd. There were some small communication issues about when she would be there but it all got worked out and the weekend went well. Our pup was perfectly fine when we got back. Thank you, Fairuz!”

“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”

“Courtney is an outstanding dog professional, experienced, confident, reliable, honest, on time, and she has the greatest personality. We needed an experienced dog sitter & handler for our dog Chuck to sit for an entire day and evening at our house. Courtney turned out to be the perfect Rover-choice, in full agreement with her great reviews! Chuck is a three year old high energy working line sable German Shepherd police dog. He was born, raised, and trained in Germany. Courtney and Chuck quickly bonded. She quickly learned the few German commands needed for sitting and walking purpose. She also quickly learned about the personality and traits of a dog like Chuck from a write-up summary that we handed over. Courtney kept updating us during her sit, walk, play, and feeding. She also sent us pictures. Chuck clearly fell in love with Courtney. When she left he was whining and he did not want her to leave 😀. Courtney is simply the best of the best!”

“Murphy helped take care of our new puppy on short notice; he was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our fur baby. He sent regular pictures and videos along with updates on what she did throughout the day. Our puppy felt comfortable right away and we will definitely be reaching out to Murphy in the future for any dog sitting needs!”

“Alyssa is amazing. She takes very good care of my puppy, and she is also very polite and easy to work with. I’ll definitely work with her again! Highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your puppy!!”

“Kiyomi took such good care of our two dogs while our family was on vacation that we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about anything. Our lucky dogs got more walks than they get with us on a normal basis, and she even did some light training or reinforcement of training and games with them to keep their interest up. She sent batches pf photos daily with an update of what they did that day which our kids loved since they missed the dogs so much. And our dogs looked so happy and relaxed in the photos - I could tell they were very comfortable with Kiyomi. Would definitely rebook Kiyomi the next time we are out of town.”

About: Hi, we are Brooke and Ryan, a married couple and doggie care team. Like you, we adore dogs. There's nothing better than the love of these furry friends and family. From Brooke: In addition to growing up with dogs my whole life and caring for a couple of special pooches for extended times, I also was a mom for 9 years to Maggie, my beautiful cocker spaniel. Though we are not ready to adopt our own pup just yet, it is such a joy to have dogs around. Dog training has been a hobby of mine. I do not offer it as a service, but I do believe that dogs not only need, but appreciate, rules and boundaries. This is just to say that if you have a way of doing things for good behavior and manners, you can count on us to maintain consistency with your dog. I am the primary point person and caretaker of your pup. Ryan offers additional care, attention and coverage so your pup always has plenty. From Ryan: I also grew up with dogs and have had two special dogs in my life. Their unconditional love and joy inspires me. I live by the adage, "Be the person your dog thinks you are." Our apartment has a large living area and private patio - perfect for a dog up to about 50 lbs. This West Pasadena neighborhood is beautiful: wide tree-lined streets, sidewalks and lots of options for customizing walks. Please note: - there is a $15 add-on for dogs being picked up or dropped off before 8:00 AM or after 8:00 PM. Thank you for understanding. - Holiday rates apply We both currently work from home. Ryan generally does the morning walks and Brooke does the evening. We have a patio with a little yard for additional potty breaks unless the pup prefers to be on leash for those too. We have a ground floor apartment with a comfortable fenced in patio and a small yard. Dogs love it out there in warmer months to cool off on the concrete or lay in the sun.

“Laura is amazing. We have a very smart and stubborn corgi, and she stayed with him for nearly 10 days. She sent us regular photos and kept us very updated. He was very happy and extremely well taken care of. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. We would recommend her extremely highly.”

“Amazing ..I have a very difficult crew of pets- 3 dogs and a cat. One of which is a very high maintenance boarder collie. I was worried for Namie as I know how hard it is to keep my crew happy. Namie did it all! Took them to the park every day, and followed through on every task. She took such amazing care of my pets I knew they were so happy..Namie sent photos and updates daily. We were blessed to find such an amazing pet sitter she also took great care of our house…which was also difficult - the dogs she’d like crazy - so daily shedding on dark wood floors can be a pain ..the house was spotless…the roses alive and thriving in hot weather..Namie went above and beyond in every way! We are so grateful to Namie- to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our babies and to come home to a clean house and happy pups ..absolutely recommend Namie -I’d give her 100 stars!!!”

“Jordynn was a wonderful sitter for Brunello. I appreciated her communicativeness and attentiveness when he wasn’t eating as he should. She let me know right away and we were able to problem solve together.”

“Our family is so happy to have met Rachel! She took excellent care of our two dogs, an Aussie shepherd and Lab, at our place while we were out of town. When Rachel came by for a meet and greet, our dogs gave us all the signs of them knowing they would be in good hands! Rachel was super responsive, shared updates and photos throughout her stay, and took great care of our home. Thank you for your excellent care, 5 STARS!!”

“Aaron was very responsive and punctual. From his first impressions to completing his stay, he was dependable. My dogs and home were well cared for. I was extremely pleased returning home from a long trip to find my home is good condition and clean. And my dogs only had good things to say.”
