About: Growing up, I always had pet dogs in my life. Since the age of 14, I've been a reliable pet-sitter and dog-walker for both neighbors and family-friends alike. My own dogs back home have health complications, and recently one was diagnosed with cancer and lost an eye to prevent a further spread of the disease. A few of my family-friend's dogs have their own unique health problems, so I'm very familiar with dogs that require special attention as well, and I care deeply for those pets. Now that I'm a college student at CSULB, I hope to bring that same care and reliability to locals in need of someone who will treat both them and their dogs with deep respect and understanding. I'm available for walks, feeding, letting the dogs out/check-ins, and overnight pet care. I hope to be the person you trust to care for your fur-babies! I do have college classes that take up a good chunk of my day, but I'm available to care for your pups as early as 7 am until noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, and anytime after 5:30 pm on Wednesdays. My schedule for Tuesdays and Thursdays consists of the hours 7 am until 1:30 pm, with me being available anytime after 5:30 pm for both days as well. I'm free all day on Friday and Saturday until 9 pm, with Sunday being completely open. While I'm not able to pet-sit in my own home, I can certainly care for them in yours! I know every home is different and every dog requires different care, so please message me regarding any special circumstances/needs your pet may have. I've pet-sat for dogs that needed medication as well as dogs with lower mobility. I will go the extra mile for your pet and for your trust, so don't hesitate to ask. Nothing is extra work when it comes to caring for your pet!

“Amazing sitter! She was so understanding of my anxiety towards my kitties and understood the three security cameras inside my house. She took great care of my babies while we were gone for 2 weeks. She cleaned and vacuumed so when we came home the place was not a mess. She even watered my plants at least twice a week! The kitties loved her and she sure spoiled them and gave them love which is the reassurance that I needed to enjoy my vacation. She was always prompt arriving at my place in the mornings. That way I knew I could relax the rest of the day. She took amazing pictures of the babies and turned on the cat TV for their amusement. Will book again!”

About: I have always loved dogs, I had many as a kid and now I have one as an adult. I've had Charlie (border collie) since he was a baby so we went through all the puppy stages including all sorts of training. We currently live in a nice apartment in Long Beach near a dog friendly park, the entire area is very walkable and I can’t wait to meet and help take care of your fur baby! I'm avaliable for boarding on the weekends since I work during the week, but am avaliable for dog walking and possible dog other services throughout the week after 1pm! I have one very friendly border collie named Charlie, and we live in an apartment with a patio. Based on your pets needs we are flexible in how we provide the care needed.

About: I have had many different pets in my life, I have always gotten them as puppies or kittens and trained them. I have helped my friends with there foster puppies many of times as well. I am a college student Monday—Thursday, but can do nights those days. I am totally free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at any time of day. I will be very carful as I know pets are great at finding escape routes, I will always check all doors twice before leaving to ensure that. I can go and feed, let them in and outside, walk them, and play with them.
“Raymond was great for a last minute booking. I had to find a pet sitter real quick before heading out of town due to my other pet sitter not being able to watch him last minute. He was responsive and did well with watching Toby for the 2 drop ins he did.”

“Kennedy was such a great sitter! I needed a last minute sitter and he was able to help me check in on my 13 year old pug all week. He gave her lots of love and provided updates. As a pet sitter myself, I 100% recommend Kennedy and his services. Reliable, friendly, and a true pet lover!”
“Mary is the best! She gives great detailed descriptions, prompt, has compassion and love for our high maintenance cat. She has always been so good with him, and he can be difficult at times. She always says what a joy he is to watch. I would give her 10 stars if possible! She also did some extra duties while we were gone! Mary is the best!❤️”

“Kristen was amazing. She came by every day while I was on vacation to take care of my dogs, giving them plenty of playtime and snuggles while also making sure the house stayed in order. She even brought packages in and rotated the lights, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were. She also scheduled a meet and greet a week beforehand and was so thorough and professional. I felt completely comfortable trusting both my dogs and my home to her. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Thank you Kelsey! We appreciate your promptness and detailed notes from your visit with Teddy and Lola! Thank you for following our instructions! We will definitely contact you again !! Teddy and Lola were very happy in the photos! Thank you!!”


About: Throughout my life, I’ve always been surrounded by pets, building both care experience and a genuine love for animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and various breeds, as well as cats and other small animals. I provide reliable, attentive care to keep them happy and safe at all times. I truly feel happiest when spending time with animals and love ensuring their needs are met! I am currently a college student taking two classes/day. Usually I am completely free Friday-Sunday and can provide ample time with your pet. My class times vary Monday-Wednesday, but I am always available after 11am. I will ensure your pet gets as much attention and care needed for satisfaction. I will follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates, and treat your home and pets with utmost respect.
“Amy did a great job with Charlie! She took Charlie out on nice long walks, and sent detailed reports and pics! We will definitely book her again next time we need someone to check in and walk our dog.”

“Felt very comfortable after meeting with Elizabeth. She well cared for my dog. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. Took dog for walks. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely use Elizabeth again....”
About: I’ve taken care of and raised 3 dogs and 1 cat my entire life and I love hanging out with them. I’m always taking them on 3+ mile walks around the island I live on. One of my dogs lost her leg in a car accident and I held her together while we drove to the hospital and now she’s a strong beautiful tripod dog. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I can guarantee a copious amount of time with any pets that need care and attention. I have a large front yard and a huge house indoor for any pets to romp around in and have fun. I have plenty of food and water for them as well.
“Christina was great! She was responsive and good and communicating her visit and how my cat was doing during her time watching her. She took great care of my cat while I was out of town.”

So glad we found Lisa! Bosco & Chai took right to her during our meet-and-greet. It is clear that Lisa loves animals, and has an easy-going energy that animals love right back. When I come home after a Lisa visit, the pups are happy and well cared-for. Thank you, Lisa!

OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
We are so grateful that we found Bridge to pet sit our cat!! This was our first trip since adopting our cat, Leo, and we had never left him alone for more than a full day before, so we were honestly very nervous. She kindly arranged a thorough meet & greet beforehand, which helped make sure there were no worries for either us or Leo. Leo immediately loved her! 🐾 We’re really grateful for her professionalism and flexibility. If we travel again, we would absolutely love to ask her to pet sit for us again! 💛
