House Sitting in Sunland

About: Lifelong dog lover, lifelong dog owner, 6 year Tujunga resident and 20 year Burbank resident. Kind, friendly, patient and responsible. I look after all dogs as if they're my own. Pint sized Chihuahuas, 200 pound Mastiffs and everyone in between, no problem. You can trust your dog will be cared for with all your details and instructions followed, as if you were right there in-person. I also have experience and affection for elderly and injured dogs who need extra patience and care. I'm currently available any day of the week for walks and drop-in visits, and always happy to implement any training you'd like your dog to be working on. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks! My furry friend Kodi and I have been together 12 years. We walk every morning & evening, we enjoy naps together when possible, and we play as much as I feel is safe for his age. Always on a leash unless the yard or park is enclosed and safe for off-leash, and always avoiding interactions with other dogs if something doesn’t feel right.

“Hannah took amazing care of Rigby. Such great positive . Took him on good walks and kept our place for clean. Happy to have her help again soon.”

“Gosh, I can’t say enough positive things. I was very nervous about using Rover after a bizarre experience 7 years ago. I also have a lot of anxiety leaving my dog with anyone because she has a history of pancreatitis and the smallest thing can cause a flare up. Kat sent tons of pictures - pictures of the food, poop, playing, walks- all of which were very helpful at alleviating my worries and showing me that everything was ok, things were normal, Ziggy (my dog) was doing great. When I came home, I think Ziggy was actually disappointed I wasn’t Kat! 🤣 Definitely recommend Kat. She really went above and beyond 💜”

“We were very happy after our meet and greet with Michelle and Elizabeth. And their long weekend housesit with our two labs didn’t disappoint. Excellent communication, awesome photos, house was left in great condition. Sincerely thankful for their availability, thoughtfulness and expertise. Already have them booked for three more stays and feel extremely confident in their care of our dogs while we’re away.”

“Katy took such good care of my four furbabies, especially my Otis, who is paralyzed from the waist down. Katy made sure Otis was clean, messaged and taken care of with his extra needs. She was communicative as she sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the visit, I loved all the updates she gave me. She was reliable for last minute requests, I didn’t have time to walk my dogs before leaving and she was more than willing to come early and walk them. She was affectionate towards my furbabies, they loved cuddling with her! I came home from my trip and my dogs were relaxed it showed that she spent lots of time exercising them outside and on walks. She went above and beyond by washing blankets/diapers, doing the dishes, as well as other things. It was definitely a relieve that I didn’t have to worry about my cats or dogs while away from home. Will be using Katy as a pet sitter in the future.”

“Peanut is so happy to see Margarita when she comes over. She is dependable and has great quick communication. Even when my work plans change last min she is understanding! It’s a joy and relief to have someone like her being able to watch my little puppy with patience :)”

“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of various kinds of dogs for over ten years. My family has always owned large dog breeds, and I have done sitting for medium, small-sized dogs, and puppies. I have experience with pets on a special diet, so I understand the importance of attention to detail when it comes to taking care of your pets. I have experience walking dogs up to 140 pounds, and I also own two cats and a dog of my own currently. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to help out with your pets! I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and am comfortable with mornings and evenings. I have a reliable source of transportation to reach your destination on time. I'm comfortable taking your dog on walks, playing in the yard with toys, or staying in and cuddling on the couch!

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.

“Lisa always does such an amazing job taking care of our guy! We feel good knowing we are leaving him In good hands while we are away, and we come home to a happy and healthy dog :)”

About: Hi! Ive owned two very sweet pitbulls and grew up around dogs and cats my whole life. i currently live with my girlfriend and her two sweet cats. i have access to transportation and am very reliable and easy going. im a very loving and gentle person with a soft spot for animals, and id love to take great care of yours. I’m in college online so i have plenty of free time available, and i care for my girlfriends cats daily while she’s at work. =] i have experience with all breeds and temperaments, and can easily walk large, strong dogs. i trained and played with all the dogs in my house growing up and was trusted with my neighbor’s dogs and home often as a teenager.

About: Hi pet guardians, I’m Tauri. I have extensive dog care experience, especially with large working breeds (e.g. Dobermans and German Shepherds). . I often get calls and requests from neighbors when someone needs their dog walked, watched or has an emergency. I’ve walked and watched dogs from 5lbs to 100+ pounds. I’m comfortable administering oral medicine and watching multiple dogs and other pets (cats, bunnies, birds, etc.) . . I’ve fostered four German Shepherds, one of which was aggressive toward people. The aggressive foster led me to enroll in Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Susan Clothier’s Treat Retreat course, which is geared towards helping dogs who are nervous interacting with people. I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety and I am open to a constant care option on a case-by-case basis (at a higher rate). . I've raised many puppies. It's hard work caring for puppies but they are so much fun! I am very willing to do walks and drop-ins for puppies. I am open to overnight sits for puppies on a case-by-case basis. Currently, I work remotely, which makes house-sitting possible. . My typical weekday involves working on my computer for 10 hours. I start work between 7am and 9am. I end the day between 5pm and 7pm. I typically don't work weekends or holidays. . On weekdays, I can start a house sit in the evening starting at 7pm or later. If you need the house sit to start earlier than 7pm on a non-holiday weekday I will consider those requests on a case-by-case basis. I can feed and take the dog(s) out to potty in the morning before starting work and I can take the dog(s) on a potty break midday. On weekends, I usually can start the sit earlier than 7pm. . During the week: I am typically not available for walks or drop-in appointments before 7pm. Weekends and holidays: On weekends and holidays I typically can accommodate walks and drop-in appointments. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to leave to get food and basic necessities during a house sit at any point. I also reserve the right to leave for 4-6 hours during the day. . Constant Care: Pets requiring constant care will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to additional fees depending on the pets specific needs. I consider a pet to need constant care if the pet: (1) cannot be left for 4 hours at a time and/or (2) will need supervision or attention during 8 hours overnight (sleep time for me) or during the day while I work. In-person Meet & Greets are required prior to all services for new clients. I need to meet the pet(s) and assess temperament. . For dogs I want to go on a walk with the dogs and make sure the leashes, collars and equipment used to walk the pet is in good condition and the pet cannot slip out of the equipment. I want to see the typical walk environment and assess potential safety hazards (coyotes, aggressive dogs behind flimsy fences, debris in the area, etc.) and logistical issues (elevators, stairs, parking). . For all pets the in-person Meet & Greet will also allow me to assess the escape risks for pets and options for minimizing these risks. . The Meet & Greet will also allow you the opportunity to meet me in person, ask me questions and see me interact with your pet. Entrusting your pet and your home to a stranger is a very important decision for you and it should be taken seriously. If for some reason you do feel comfortable with me watching your pets or staying in your house after the Meet & Greet, you should meet with another sitter and find one that matches your needs. . Miscellaneous: I do not plan to bring any people or pets (other than the ones you are asking me to watch) into your home while I pet sit. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to refuse the sit if after the Meet and Greet I am not comfortable with the situation. While I have experience with aggressive dogs and cats, my overnight sit rate is for social/well-adjusted animals. Animals in need of behavioral modification or that pose a safety risk to myself or others should be boarded at a facility that is geared towards aggressive animals. Similarly, while I have experience caring for animals post surgery or animals experiencing acute medical conditions, my overnight rate is for healthy animals and/or animals with well-controlled chronic conditions. Medically fragile animals should be boarded at a veterinary facility with 24/7 staffing.

About: I have been in the pet industry for over 20 years. I am a groomer, and have very high end clients. I do dog sitting for them for weeks at a time. All dogs are free to roam the house as long as they are house trained and get along with other dogs and a cat. Dogs are not caged or crated unless owner provided or requested. Our bedroom is large enough for 4-5 large dogs to sleep in on their own beds. All dogs eat at the same time everyday. Mornings around 7am, and afternoon around 5-530 pm. Water is always available. On hot days they will be enjoying 2 large dog pools to cool off in and play as long as possible. Pet care has been part of my daily routine since 2006. It's what I love and am passionate about. My life would be empty without dogs. Always home to keep an eye on them. I keep my clients up to date with daily pictures and updates of what their pet is up to.

Highly recommend Cody — we’d absolutely book him again!”
