Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Sun Valley

About: I grew up with dogs and a bird in my home. I took care of neighborhood pets including ferrets, cats, and frogs, and have been caring for animals for my whole life. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to take care of animals during the day and in the evenings on weekdays. I take care of my dog Juniper every day as well, but she is comfortable on her own, in case I need to leave her at home and care for another pet. I have a 15ish pound chihuahua mix (Juniper) that gets along well with other dogs. We have a decent sized yard, with a section of that fenced in. We live right next to a small hiking trail, and Juniper and I will walk up on there every day unless the rain makes it too muddy to climb. If your dog is an outdoorsy type and likes horses, (we live right by a ranch) we'll have a nice time taking the trail. We also have several rooms in the house and can section off dogs as needed.

“Katy is amazing!! She was great with my kitten who I had to leave behind for a few days and was sure to make me at ease with all her photos and videos. She actually spent time with my kitten and takes her responsibilities seriously. I have had sitters who do the bare minimum but Katy goes above and beyond! All instructions were followed and I came back to a happy kitten.”

“Niki is absolutely wonderful with our boys — they just adore her! She kindly accepted our booking on short notice for a bedtime drop-in, and as always, she handled everything perfectly. She took them out for their final wiggles of the night, made sure they were comfortable and tucked in, and sent us sweet updates along the way. We’re always at ease knowing Niki’s with them — she’s caring, dependable, and feels like part of the family. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust! 🐶💛”

About: I am a huge animal lover. I grew up around dogs and have pet sat for many friends and family. I also have spent the last 8 years around cats as well: One of my dogs had Addisons disease so being around sick and emotional dogs is not a problem for me. I can also administer oral medication. I love being around and caring for animals. I am willing to work hard and make sure your dog is taken care of as if they were a part of my own family. I love playing fetch and just running around playing with dogs. I have no problem also spending my time with puppies in fact I would greatly enjoy it. I would also love to take your dog for walks even in cold weather. If you have a cat I would enjoy spending time playing with them and I am willing and able to scoop, change, and sweep up cat litter as this is something I do on a daily basis for my own cat Leo. I hope you will consider me. I am currently a student so as long as I am not in class I am free to check on your pets. Most of my classes are afternoon and evening but there are sometimes breaks in between classes as well. I am also completely free on weekends. I would make sure to let your dog out or take them for a walk so they go potty. I would make sure they are fed and just generally spend time with them brushing, playing, or just petting. If the pet is a cat I would make sure to check and scoop the litter and make sure they have food and of course spend some time with them brushing or playing.

“Margarita went the extra mile for peanuts check in and I suggested she bring her own dog so peanut can have a quick play sesh and it worked out perfectly they got along so well and their energies matched 🥰”

About: I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, and even hermit crabs. I love animals! I grew up with 3 cats in one home and 7 in another. Two of my cats lived to be over 20 years old, and my current cat is 19. I love senior kitties and have plenty of experience giving them shots and other types of medication. For cats I offer feeding/watering, litter cleaning, basic grooming, play, company, and medication administering. I also have experience with small and medium-sized dogs such as toy poodles and pugs. For dogs I offer walking, feeding/watering, basic grooming, play, and company. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time for drop-in visits and dog-walking throughout the day. I prefer morning and evening visits but can also do mid-day if needed. I treat your fur babies with the utmost care and love, as if they were my own. If anything seems out of the ordinary, rest assured I will contact you and take the necessary action to keep your baby safe.

About: I am very lucky to who have had experience working with animals my entire life. I've shared a special connection with multiple cats and dogs of various sizes and care needs including large purebred dogs, multiple rescue cats, rescued shelter dogs and the beloved small dogs and puppies belonging to previous pet sitting clients. As an adult I've had the pleasure of being a regular pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and clients. I have extensive experience with animals of all ages including kittens, puppies, and seniors and am highly knowledgable of the independent needs of specific dog and cat breeds. I've worked with dogs and cats in animal shelters, on a ranch, in homes, and apartments. In addition, I am experienced and knowledgable of handling animals who require medication, or who have specific medical needs. One special fact about me is that I have experience with training and obedience work with dogs and have gone on to obedience train my cat and teach her six commands! I take pride in my attention to detail and attentiveness when caring for animals and their owners. I understand that helping care for our animal family members is a group effort and would love to cultivate strong relationships supporting local pet parents. My schedule is currently wide open for bookings! I am available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10am-7pm My days off are Wednesday and Sunday but if care is needed on either day this can be arranged in advance. I am very flexible and happy to communicate in advance to provide the best care for your pet! I'm highly detail oriented and will follow any schedules, rules, or specifications you have for your animal. I take the time to truly get to know the pet I'm caring for and ensure they are comfortable with me by earning their trust through play, affection, and enrichment. I am available to do home visits and morning, daytime, and evening care. I have a reliable vehicle to commute to and from your home or any location where my services are needed. This vehicle is large enough to safely transport dogs and cats up to 100lb either crated in the trunk or seated in the back seats. Overall, I am open to communicating with you and helping you and your pets as best I can. If you have any questions please shoot me a message I'll be more than happy to help work things out with you!

About: Friends started asking me to care for their dogs while they were away and thats how it all started! I love spending time with animals and its just continued since. I am currently working but will have plenty of time to hang out and care for your cats and dogs! It will be a valuable use of my time Whether I'm in your home or mine, your pet gets my full attention. I stick to their routine, because consistency keeps pets calm and happy. In your home, I treat the space with total respect your things will stay clean, secure, and as you left them. For walks and drop ins, I always double check gates and leashes, send you a photo update so you can see they're doing great. I genuinely love animals, your pet will get belly rubs, playtime, fresh water, and a lot of love.

“Claudia A. did a fantastic job taking care of our American shorthair cat Popsicle for over three weeks, 2x per day! She was easy to communicate with, punctual and engaged well with Popsicle’s needs including litter box, wet food/dry food, water, affection, and playtime! She sent great photos every visit along with a summary report. As a side bonus she brought in newspapers, Amazon packages and mail! Highly recommended…we look forward to working with her again!!”

About: For the last 8+ years I have worked in dog kennels, boarding, training and shelter environments. I am focusing on gaining my trainer and/or handler certificate as well as animal CPR care. I am a professional dog walker so it's more than just a side gig for me; I take your dog's health, happiness and safety seriously. My visit to your pets will vary on their needs from just a potty break or feeding to an hour long hike. I am very detail oriented when it comes to communicating what services I have done from what meals or treats given, bowel movements and behavioral updates. I have experience with newborn puppies, elderly pups and reactive dogs. I may suggest a different walking harness or basic training methods if I feel it would be better for your pup; if I feel like I can't safely handle your dog I will do my best to help find a better fit. I am able to take up to 4 dogs in my car if all fit and get along. I love taking them out for hikes or parks but never off leash. I prefer visits no earlier than 8am or later than 6pm, but am willing to work with special requests. Currently serving the San Fernando Valley areas; Burbank, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Alhambra, Van Nuys, Sun Valley, etc. I currently have a rather open schedule for house visits, potty breaks, play visits, hikes and walks. I can not house any pets in my home but am available for in home pet sittings. I live in Burbank so can go about 20 miles radius depending on the care request. I try to stick with your usual daily schedule to help ease your pet's stress while you're away. I stay with any training requirements and diet restrictions. The only times I leave the home are for other pet care needed around town. I understand how stressful it is finding a new pet care friend and I value your trust more than anything. (Yes I will bring in your mail and packages of course!) I communicate daily with updated photos and texts. My rates are posted due to my years of experience and changing up my own life schedule to accommodate for your needs. I also don't mind taking care of plants too!

About: Many years ago the ‘Dog Whisperer’ came into my life through personal training. Cesar Milan taught me how to successfully train my aggressive dog with a few behavioral changes and lots of exercise. I was blessed to take my dog to Cesar’s Dog Psychology Center (DPC) more than once. I learned so much working with Cesar and spending time with his dogs. Now I apply those same techniques to all the Rover dogs. The importance of disciplinary exercise has changed many of my clients’ dogs through multiple daily walks. Your dog will receive the same training Cesar provides while staying in my doggy day care and on our walks. He always said “a tired dog can’t misbehave” and it’s very true! I’ve been personally training celebrities like Cesar and his wife for 15+ years. My schedule is very flexible while accommodating clients 2-3 days a week. I am a professional bodybuilder so fitness is my lifestyle. I love walking, riding my bike and going to the gym. Exercise is more important to your dog than it is to us! I’m happy to share my passion of fitness with your dog. Pets are a gift and having them in your life is a true blessing. It’s your responsibility to provide the best care possible. They should never be seen as a burden or taken for granted! I used to walk my 2 dogs everyday before they passed twice a day, for at least a half hour. It was truly the highlight of my day. I really miss them and would like the pleasure of walking other dogs because exercise is so important to their mental and physical health as well as their behavior.
