Pet Sitting 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.

“Niki was absolutely wonderful with my pups! She gave me such peace of mind by sending photos and detailed updates throughout the visit. Both Ashford and Shiloh were well cared for—she made sure they got their potty breaks, playtime, and even sunbathing time. She took the extra step of crumbling treats into their food and giving them cuddles, which shows how attentive and thoughtful she is. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and I could tell they were in great hands. Highly recommend Niki for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“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.”

“I can't thank Jana enough. The confidence and peace I was able to have that Chompers was in good hands. I am so grateful for her. Can't recommend highly enough and not enough stars available for the high rating she deserves.”

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: From as long as I remember I've had dogs, from a small chihuahua to a pit bull, German shepherd, or a golden retriever. I've also assisted with the birth of some of my dogs by making sure momma was good and cutting the umbilical cords. I would like to think I know how to care for as well as respect the pets boundaries and also have fun with them! For my cats: I feed them as scheduled, play or cuddle with them as needed, and make sure to regularly clean their litter box. For my dog: I feed him as scheduled, take him on a morning and afternoon walk, and make sure to play with him as needed in our backyard! (They have automated water fountains and feeders for when im at work.) For my cats: I feed them as scheduled, play or cuddle with them as needed, and make sure to regularly clean their litter box. For my dog: I feed him as scheduled, take him on a morning and afternoon walk, and make sure to play with him as needed in our backyard!

“Claudia did a fantastic job taking care of Marcie! She was on top of communication and flexible when our schedule changed. Would definitely rebook with her!”

“Kat has done such a great job getting to know our shy anxious dog, she's very communicative during her drop-ins and we look forward to working with her regularly!”

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!

“Thank you Noemi for being reliable, friendly and good with our pets!”

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.

“Amazing dog walker/dog sitter! I trust him with my babies buddy and Benji and hope he can watch them again in the near future:) this was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy he was able to watch my dogs, he was patient with them and able to send photos/details after each visit. Once again thank you!:)”

I'm currently extremely flexible with my schedule. I work in town only one day per week every Tuesday. Weekends are available for me as well! In my home, my dog is my world! He is the most precious being to me, and I pamper him to the best of my abilities. Regular baths, walks, vet check-ups, playing every day, eating nutritious food and special occasion treats. He's truly my best friend. I know how important our furry friends are to us, and I will always treat your pup like my own. For my services: Dog Walking: Regular walks tailored to your dog's pace and preferences, as well as at times that fit within their schedule. House Sitting: Ensuring your home and pet are safe and happy while you're away. I also have experience administering medication for pets.

“Sean was super courteous and awesome! Our dogs absolutely were in the best care.”

About: German shepherds have been living with my family for decades. Loyal dogs to whom I'm grateful. Meeting new friends is fun, and opportunities to walk together are welcome. I'm currently in study mode. Got a certificate after months of work. To get out and meet new pets and people sounds good. I'm taking online classess, and spending some time to look for work in my field. Which are low-voltage & networking. So going for walks is a welcome activity. I used to live in a country-side house. The dogs would mostly take care of themselves. Except for the feeding, grooming, cleaning parts. I like meeting new friends, and I would inquire about the pets' preferences; the owners' too.

“Victoria was awesome looking after my dad’s cat Shiva! She was very communicative during her visits and followed my instructions well. Shiva is a bit of a difficult cat with some aggression towards new people but Victoria was able to handle everything that was thrown her way. It was nice to have my mind at ease knowing Shiva was well looked after.”

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.

“Meredith is so loving and professional. She took great care of my dogs while I was on vacation and they love her!! She’s definitely an animal person and really connects, is intuitive and thoughtful. Very communicative and reliable.”

About: My goal is to create an environment and relationship that makes your life easier and your pup happier. I’m loving, gentle, and patient with all pup ages! I’m available any day of the week. I just ask for a 2 day notice for booking and for canceling. For walks, preferably early morning or evenings (especially in hot days. I want your pup to enjoy their walk, and not be uncomfortable or in pain from the hot pavement) I appreciate your consideration! I adapt to what your puppy is used to. My goal is not to brake their routine. I would like to jump in where you need me to assist and maintain the routine you approve and would like to maintain. I’m here to help you both!
