About: I have significant experience walking and managing large, high-energy breeds. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially larger dogs that require a confident and steady hand on the leash. I’m physically active and enjoy taking dogs on long, brisk walks that truly tire them out. As I finish my final university semester this May, my schedule is extremely flexible. I’ve dedicated this month to local gig work, which means I am in the Long Beach area all day. This allows me to easily pivot to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a mid-day walk or a specific feeding window, ensuring they get consistent attention while you’re away from home. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. This includes double checking that all doors and gates are securely locked when I arrive and leave, ensuring alarms are set correctly, and keeping the home exactly as I found it. My goal is to leave everything as I found it + a happy well-cared for pet :)

“Maiko was super friendly and accommodating. My kitties caused an issue at home and she was very prompt on informing me and help me with the situation. I definitely recommend her and will be requesting for her service again!”

“Ah, thank you Mary! Sounds like he will do just fine with you!! He must like you, it hard sometimes for him to warm up and play with his feather stick! He will be awesome with you for the next visits!!! Thank you!!”

“Oh my goodness Raymond was so amazing, very professional and personable, he really went above and beyond, made us feel perfectly at ease knowing how well he took care of all our babies while we were away. We are absolutely going to recommend his services to all our friends and family and we will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you for everything.”


About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“Shelli is truly a lifesaver!! Always ready and willing to help us with Mystic! :) Whether it’s a quick check in or overnight stays, she is reliable, sweet, and thorough! I am so grateful to have met her and trust her with my baby girl 🐶”

“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I will definitely use them again! I have two labs and they are my life!!! Christina came over and treated them like her own and even had them perform for some treats!!! At the meet and greet she paid attention to them and didn’t mind a lot of lab kisses! The girls loved her. Thank you Christina and I’ll definitely be using you again…”

About: Hi, my name is Sereina! I've grown up around dogs and have always been someone reliable and trustworthy around others pets as well. I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I would love to keep growing my experience and getting to know families and their pet family members as well! Currently I am working a part time job and visit my family in San Diego frequently. I am in school during the fall as a full time student but have extra time right now in the summer. Caring for your pet is another way for me to fill up the time throughout the week and meet new pets! As your pet sitter, I can be very by the book. If you have any special requests or know how to counteract any known behaviors from your pet I am capable of following your standards and following what is most comfortable and right for your pet. I will treat your pet with the same love and respect you have for them (and then some!). I am patient and will do everything I can to hold yours and your pets trust.
“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 5 years. I love walking dogs and playing with the animals when house sitting. I always ask what the owners want and follow their instructions. For house sitting can come multiple times a day. Bringing good energy and ready for a walk or play time. I work part time but can come any time on Monday, Tuesday, and can do walks Wednesday through Sunday before 3:40 pm. I am always on the go and love going on beach walks or just walking around the neighbor hoods. For house sitting I can check on the animals through the day and after work can spend the night or do a night check. I take care of our neighbor dog and two cats when she is off traveling. Usually come in the morning and feed animals and play with them. Then I take the dog for a beach walk or we go on a jog in the neighbor hood. Then I come back around lunch and get all the zoomies out check on them and play with them. Then I go before work and after work to let them out and check on them. Before work we usually go on a 20 minute walk just to get them outside. The cats usually follow us on the second walk.

“Jennifer always goes above and beyond! I do a lot of traveling, and wouldn't be able to do so without the peace of mind I always get from knowing my pets are in her hands. She's simply the best there is.”

“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!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child but never had a the time to fully adopt. I assist in dog sitting for my family and friends and would love to open my heart to other dogs in the community! I am very active for dogs with a little more energy but also very calm and attentive for older or more anxious pups. I currently work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and am typically free on weekends. This allows me to do frequent drop ins and walks during the day. I live in a quiet private neighborhood that doesn’t have many cars and is filled with other friendly dogs. There is grass outside where dogs can sniff around and take care of business. We also have a large backyard where dogs can run around and bathe in the sunlight.
“Emily is absolutely amazing, I can not thank her enough! I had her come check up on babes (cats) and feed them in the morning at 6:30 a.m. and every morning she would send me a text letting me know she was there and how they were doing along with a few photos! This was the first time, going on vacation for a longer duration and she put me at such ease. So thank you! Hopefully I can go on another vacation and have you back! She also left me a little written note, that I found when I got back! All I have to say, is if your stressing about your pet needs, stress no more and contact Emily, I assure you it will be the best decision you ever made! Thank from Alyssa, Toothless & Kimba!”

Thank you!! Michelle is the best dog/ cat sitter you will find! Always taking excellent care of our babies, takes amazing pics for us while on vacation, always has a detailed full report for every visit and follows their feeding schedule and any meds needed perfectly. Thank you so much Michelle for always taking care of our little loved ones while we are away. We greatly appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.
Misha went above and beyond while caring for our cat Dante! She sent great pics and we could tell she really cares about animals. She was also flexible with us while we vacationed in a national park with limited service and she made sure Dante was taken care of. Highly recommend her for pet sitting and we'll definitely use her again!

5-Star Review It was easy to recognize from the start that Lisa is a true animal lover. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet with my cat, Ozzie. Lisa is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable about both cats and dogs, and a natural with animals. Throughout the pet-sitting experience, she provided outstanding communication, regular updates, and wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to work with Ozzie’s schedule and unique personality, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Lisa completed every request I made and truly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I couldn’t be happier 🐾💕

Kaylee was a joy to have as a cat sitter! It was our first time using a service like this and Kaylee made us feel very comfortable. She even set up a time to meet and greet our kitties ahead of time and get to know how we take care of them! My favorite part was Kaylee sending the daily updates with lots of photos. I looked forward to that time everyday on our trip & it was so reassuring to know that they were happy and having a good time with Kaylee! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, Kaylee 😊

Jennifer was a fantastic sitter for my animals while I was on an extended vacation. Not only did she provide detailed descriptions for each visit and plenty of very well shot pictures, but she also brought in unexpected deliveries instead of leaving everything on the porch. I will definitely use her again!

Bronte took a last-minute booking to look after our cat Pacho, which we really appreciated. She had no issues handling his picky eating and daily routine. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to other pet parents!
