“Paul was a hero in coming to watch our dogs last minute. He previously watched one before but the other 2 dogs were new and more feisty. However, Paul was very patient and welcoming to them and also was very communicative throughout the day. He even cleaned up a mess by a dog, which we were appreciative of. Paul is wonderful and am grateful he’s in our neck of the woods!”


“Limari is a wonderful cat sitter. Our kitty is older and needs a bit of extra care, and Limari handled all the details perfectly. She sent thorough updates and was very timely with her visits as well. We look forward to having her watch our kitty again, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”


“tiffany took great care of my kitties, as always. this time i was away longer than usual but tiffany kept everyone fed, clean, and happy. she administered medication and a B12 shot according to schedule to help the senior cat maintain his health. tiffany also managed all the gadgets i have for the cats (litter robot, automated feeders & water fountain). so glad i can relax while on vacation, knowing the kitties are well taken care of!”


About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet with the same care and dignity I would give my own. I believe pets are family, and they deserve kindness, patience, and respect in every interaction. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve learned how to tune into each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or a game of fetch, I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive every step of the way. It’s an honor to earn you and your pet’s trust! I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets - morning, afternoon, or night. When school is in session I am typically available for afternoon, evening and weekend gigs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their routine and respect the comfort of their familiar space. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, consistent, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an active walk. For pet care, I keep feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and medication (if needed) on schedule while providing companionship and keeping a close eye on behavior and wellness. When caring for cats, I’m especially mindful of their space and temperament, offering gentle interaction, clean litter boxes, and quiet company. My goal is to make every pet feel calm, loved, and understood while you’re away.

About: Former vet tech, certified animal handler, and experienced pet-sitter seeks fluffy neighborhood furballs in need of extra attention!! Whether your pup needs a walk or your cat needs a cuddle- I’ve got you. I’m available for drop-ins, day hikes, and overnight pet sitting in the comfort of your home (the least stressful option for your pet while you’re away). I know that many animals don’t do well (or simply can’t be) boarded, but busy lives mean we often need to leave them behind when we travel or work long hours. I’m here to offer you peace of mind knowing they’ll be safe & sound in their own home, being looked after with the upmost of professional care, love, and attention. I’ve been petsitting for private clients and friends furever- see what I did there 😀. I spent many years living in places where I wanted, but wasn't allowed, to have pets, so spoiling other's was the next best thing. I also grew up in a home full of pets and my first job as a kid was volunteering for the local animal shelter. I went on to train professionally as an animal handler for film & television and to work as an emergency triage and surgical veterinary assistant. I cherish every opportunity to get to know a new animal of any kind, and to help them feel safe & secure, loved, and respected by another human. I have years of experience and expertise working with animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from teeny tiny kittens needing bottle feeding every hour, to senior pups on special diets, diabetic felines, giant lazy lap dogs, pampered dachshunds, wild terriers, loving pit bulls, timid house cats, and random rescues still in need of training. Please contact me if you need a reliable, responsible, professional petsitter with years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I offer 30-60 minute neighborhood walks, hour-long nature hikes for active dogs, drop-ins, play-time visits, care and feeding for felines and full pet/plant/house sitting services in Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino and neighboring cities. If you need petsitting outside this area please message me for a quote. I work remotely, have a flexible schedule, and availability to take dogs on walks or make house visits for feedings or check-ins at various times and days. The safety and well being of your pet is my first priority. You’ll never see me scrolling through TikTok while walking a dog or otherwise disengaged- my eyes and ears are always on them to ensure they are getting the best of our time together. Dogs are always leashed while outside the home property (unless authorized for enclosed dog park play) and pets will only be allowed in areas approved by owners. For feline visits- playtime, cuddle time, or grooming are always included. I won’t just fill the food bowl and leave, I’ll entice them into chasing toys, or offer up a lap for warmth, comfort, and soothing pets. If they are scared of strangers (like mine is) I’ll simply sit quietly with them, letting them know they’re safe and never force an interaction that makes them anxious or uncomfortable.

“Shelby checked in on our boy so he wouldn’t be alone too long. She sent pictures while we were out and then when we got home, we could see our pup was safe and happy. I felt she was respectful and caring of our dog and our home. Such a relief! See you again soon!”


“It was such a pleasant experience to have Cameron as a sitter for my cat! She provided detailed during and updates after the visit and accommodated to his needs. Bonus points for eventually getting him to warm up! He is a shy kitty and takes his precious time with new people. Will definitely rebook!”



About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog walker who believes in structured, balanced walks—where your dog gets the chance to sniff and explore, but also gets the exercise and mental focus they need. I have an 8-year-old pit bull mix of my own, and walking together is one of our favorite ways to bond and stay healthy. I bring that same care, consistency, and respect to every dog I walk. (Pitbull walking buddy is completely optional, and not required.) I currently work a normal job M-Th. If needed on M-Th, I can come right after work! I am available Fri-Sun at any time. I am very flexible and easy to coordinate with to fit in your schedule. At your home, I will ensure that your little baby has enough time to go outside and potty. I am very trust worthy and ensure nothing is touched in your home! I will be very communicative and send pictures if I am at your home to keep your mind at ease.

“Mike has such a great way with dogs. Nash can get distracted and can pull, but with Mike he listens. On the most recent walk, he did not pull, although he gets really excited when he sees other dogs. Mike is really good at training. Very consistent, firm, and affectionate. He clearly loves dogs and he wants them to behave in lovable ways!”


“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my two boys! The reports and photos were terrific and my cats seemed very happy. She also kept everything clean and tidy, came on time, and was easy to communicate with. I will look forward to her taking care of them again soon!”


About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, etc, and always love to meet new furry friends! If you need pet care, I'm your girl! I currently work part-time so I have lots of time to visit, walk, or play with your pets! I usually work weekends, but most weekdays I have a lot of free time. I don’t personally have any pets at the moment, but I do live with 3 pet loving roommates. Our house is very dog safe. We don’t have a yard but I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood and can take your pup on a few walks and play with them at the park if you’d like.

“Jessica was amazing! Our cats, Zoxie and Pickles, seemed to really like her and we got some wonderful photos of them while we were gone. We had a great trip knowing our babies were well taken care of!”


About: I had all different kinds of pets growing up, including cats, dogs, birds and rodents, so I have a lot of experience taking care of a mixed species household. I also volunteer at Pasadena Humane Society with adoptions! Now, I have two cats living with me, Felony and Fido, and a senior cat living at home in Northern CA named Oreo turning 23 this year. I work very flexible hours, so I am available for sitting or drop ins most days! My cat's routine is very consistent so I understand how important it is, when I am sitting the pets' schedule comes before my schedule I am comfortable with walking multiple dogs and crating animals of all kinds. Making sure pets have clean and safe places to eat, sleep, play and poop is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old - I love dogs of all sizes (small to large!) I’ve grown up in a household of dogs and enjoy spending my time with animals I work a M-F flexible job from mornings until early evenings. I love to take evening walks after work with my own dogs & I would love to take your animals too! I will not be able to provide services for animals to stay at my house due to family members living situations, thank you for understanding!

Maisie loves her and I am always comfortable leaving her with Sabrina whether it be a walk or to stop in while I am at work.”
