About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.

“Bonnie jumped in mid-week and was a huge help when I needed coverage quickly. She was flexible and responsive, and my dogs seem comfortable with her already. Looking forward to more walks together!”

About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have over a year of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for my sister's two large, high-energy dogs. They are Husky/German Shepherd mixes (one also has Malamute and Wolf ancestry) and require consistent structure, exercise, and attention. I'm comfortable following strict feeding, potty, walking, and medication schedules, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of playtime and enrichment. Having cared for large, energetic breeds, I'm confident handling dogs with strong personalities and high exercise needs while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd give my own pets. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs company while you're away, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply someone to keep them comfortable, I can easily fit their routine into my workday. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I'm committed to following your pet's schedule to help them feel happy, safe, and stress-free. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive care, and I'll treat yours as if they were my own. Having cared for dogs my entire life—including regularly watching my sister's two large, high-energy Husky/German Shepherd mixes—I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive attention. While house sitting, I work remotely, so your pets won't be left alone for long periods and can enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day. I'll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of many animals all my life. I have taken care of pretty much every pet you can think of from pigeons, cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, all, and all the way to horses and cows. Needless to say I have a lot of experience and would love to help out in anyway I can! I am a member of the United States Coast Guard, and have a pretty set schedule Monday through Thursday. I am able to do mornings before nine and afternoons after two. I will not be able to take animals back to my place unfortunately seeing as my apartment has strict rules against animals being in my apartment complex complex

About: I manage a small pet care and training business. My goal as a pet caregiver is your pet’s safety: through attention to detail in their environment, diet, and play time experiences; trust: through positive reinforcement, building rapport, and respecting their boundaries; comfort: reduce your pet’s anxiety by exercise, mental stimulation, keeping their typical routine, and love. I aim to combine these to create the ultimate sitting/walking experience. I manage a small business that specializes in vip boarding. I spend my days training, walking, and sitting man’s best friend. Pet’s ARE my daily and weekly routine. My goal as your sitter/walker is to love your pet as you do, by providing a safe home/yard. Following your directions to house rules and diet. Having fun safe walks by always anticipating potential triggers. I will take care of your pet as if he/she were my own.

“It is very difficult to trust people with your dog. Popi was wonderful! Great communication, punctual, and handled my sometimes difficult big dogs well! I would highly recommend her and would book again in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Nelson. I'm very good with dogs and cats! I have three husky mixed dogs myself and I'm very active with them. I'm very open and flexible. Willing to go above and beyond for your dog or cat! I'm able to take your dog on walks throughout the day. I can host your dog at my house and have play dates if you'd like. I am also willing to do stop by's or even dog sit at your location. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with my time and able to adjust things as needed to benefit you. I am comfortable working with any size dog and also willing to work with cats as well. I am very quick to reply and also always sending updates if requested

About: Big heart, gentle hands, and plenty of treats! I’m dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s long walks or cozy cuddles, your fur baby will be in the best of care with me. Full-time care for your best friend! Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility to provide around-the-clock attention. Our typical day includes cozy indoor playtime and daily neighborhood walks with my baby in tow. It’s the perfect environment for pets who love a consistent routine and a family atmosphere. I can't wait to welcome your pup into our daily adventures! I’m a firm believer that pets are family! When your fur baby stays with me, they get full access to cuddles on the couch and endless yard fun (fenced). If I’m visiting your home, I take pride in being a respectful guest who focuses entirely on keeping your pet happy and tired out. You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!

“I had Alie come to my house to walk my dog while I was at work and she did a wonderful job earning the trust of my dog that was slightly fearful of a stranger. Very happy with her service and plan to rebook. :)”

About: I've always had a strong love for animals. Whether soft or scaly, feathered or fluffy, animals make life special and more meaningful. My love for pets started with a cat, then a hamster, more cats, dogs, and a fish here and there... Nowadays you’ll probably find me with my two orange cats and a Scooby Doo dog. In addition to drop-ins and sittings, my pet/animal care experience includes volunteering at PetSmart and the SPCA of Long Beach. It’s been a joy to care for all the many pets and animals throughout my life! I work full time Monday through Friday but am open some weeknights after 5pm. I’m also available on some weekends and holidays. My pet care routine includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. I love feeding and giving them treats, playing, and going for walks. I also love downtime and cuddling. I will follow your care instructions, be respectful of your home, and provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing.

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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20+ years and have yet to meet a dog I don’t enjoy. I love their unique personalities and caring for them. I have a light work from home schedule, so I’ll be with your dog most of the time (with the possible exception of a quick run to the store/errand). I have a dog of my own who I walk, hike, play with, and take to the dog park regularly. I’d be happy to have another pup to take on outings, if appropriate. I have a fenced balcony and live in a very peaceful, walkable area. My house is open to the dogs (except for the kitchen, which I’ve blocked off because my dog will jump high to grab snacks). My dog is friendly and a bit aloof; he mostly keeps to himself and enjoys having the company of other dogs. Should anything happen, I live within 5-10 minutes of at least 3 veterinary hospitals.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I love them. I used to work at a dog rescue where I cared for all types of dog. Now, I walk dogs in Sunset Beach. If you live here, you’ve probably seen me on the green belt or in Bolsa Chica. Reviews from established Sunset Beach clients are available upon request. I’m happy to work around your schedule. Please just give me as much notice as you can. I plan to work with repeat clients so real trust can be built over time. So, please book me quickly if you are looking for a long-term local option.

About: I have owned many animals my whole lifee, so I have plenty of experience with animal care. I’ve pet sat for many neighbours as well as family and friends on multiple occasions and absolutely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds!! :)) I am available all days of the week for long or quick check ins, walks, or watching your pet in my own home. I do work a couple days during the week, though each shift Is only about 6 hours but my roommate would be home that is also Rover certified!!
