Pet Sitting Sylmar

“So glad we found Holly!! She is super reliable and came on time for our drop ins every day. I left super specific instructions and she followed them perfectly! Our pup is slow to warm up to new people, but she spent extra time with him to make sure he actually went outside to stretch his legs and do his business. She left very thorough post visit notes and uploaded so many great photos. I truly felt that he was in great hands while I was away. We will be using Holly’s services again!”

About: With over five years of dedicated experience, I've cared for a wide range of furry, feathered, and scaled friends, from energetic puppies and cuddly cats to exotic birds and reptiles. I'm passionate about providing personalized attention, ensuring every pet receives their favorite treats, plenty of playtime, and comfortable routines. Owners consistently praise my reliability and the genuine bond I form with their beloved companions, always leaving them with peace of mind. As I'm currently unemployed, I have complete flexibility to dedicate ample time to your beloved pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight stays at any time, seven days a week. Your pet will receive undivided attention and consistent care throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and companionship. I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings and extended care periods. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment. This includes adhering strictly to feeding times, administering any necessary medications, and engaging in regular walks and play sessions tailored to their energy levels. My goal is to provide a secure and loving atmosphere that minimizes any stress associated with your absence, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for until your return.

About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! Hi pet parents! 🐾 To make sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible, here is a quick update on my current availability and my upcoming schedule: Current Work Days & Late-Night Walks On the days you see blocked off on my calendar, I am working my day job from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Need a late-night walk? Please still reach out! I am happy to accommodate later evening walks or drop-ins on my work days once I wrap up. Upcoming Fall Schedule (Starting August 31) I will be starting my nursing school classes, which means my weekday availability will shift a bit: Mondays & Tuesdays: Unavailable 8:00 AM – 11:35 AM Thursdays & Fridays: Unavailable 6:30 AM – 2:55 PM Note: Outside of these specific class blocks, I am highly flexible!

Looking forward to seeing your pups and kitties soon! 😊 My priority is the safety and well being of your pet! I thoroughly review all the information provided of your pet and communicate any questions I may have. I make an effort to know feeding schedules, potty preferences and activity schedules before meeting your pet. My goal is make sure your pet feels at home with zero disruption to their routine.

About: I trained both of my own dogs (a full size Merle golden doodle + chihuahua) and have cared for senior dogs too. I’m patient, reliable and treat every animal like family. Being vegan is part of that same love for animals. I’m at ease with dogs of any size and experienced in handling bigger, stronger breeds safely. I’m an independent jewelry designer and founder of my brand so my schedule is flexible and can work around pretty much any schedule. My weekends and holidays are open as well. I care for pets in their own home, keeping their routine consistent, feeding on schedule, medications on time, and enrichment throughout the day. I’ve house sat for friends’ dogs, including but not limited to pit bulls, greyhounds, shih tzu’a and mixed breeds, always prioritizing their safety and comfort while respecting their home.

About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.

About: I’m kind and patient with pets. I understand that they are not the same but do require the same type of care and love. I enjoy playing with them and giving them belly rubs and taking them for walks. I’m currently on summer breaks and would like to spend time caring for pets when their loved ones are away. It may be difficult on some families due to their schedule so I would like to make it easier on them. They way I would care for my clients pet at their home. I will check on them first and then see if they have water in their bowl. Will see if they require feeding. Lastly I will follow the instructions left my client. If they need a walk or play with them and keep them company.

“Amazing dog walking and drop-in visit service! Great with my two large golden-doodles. Have booked multiple visits and will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I’ve taken care of them for friends and family. I have two cats of my own. I love animals so much. I currently work full time from home so I’m available in the evenings and weekends. Usually weekends I can do anytime unless I have a prior commitment but that’s rare. My own cats stay inside I do not let them out for their safety. I do let them out for a little bit to get sun and to exercise but they’re supervised. I will keep pets inside or outside as needed only. And keep an eye on them.

“Hector is amazing, he took care of our dog, provided regular updates, and asked great question both ahead of time and during the visit to ensure everything was just as we hoped for. Appreciate him so much. He even noticed it was trash day and took our bins out for us after asking if that was okay. Super awesome!”

“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”

About: Passion is what drives my work! My only goal is to give animals the unconditional love they gives us :) A pet is a crucial partner in life and sometimes we tend to forget that we are our pets entire world. I’m currently a full time teacher assistant Monday-Friday 8-2:30. That leaves the rest of the afternoon and weekends to hangout with my Rottweiler Naia. With this job, it’ll allow me to spend quality time with more pooches other than my own. I have a nice backyard located right behind a park where my pooch gets enough versatile interactions. Many scents for Naia to smell, she loves to play fetch and will catch anything I toss in the air. She’s a huge fan of my scratches and will be there for hours if she could. I tend to feed her twice a day with appropriate portions of personalized kibble, wet food, and warm water for heat.

About: Currently have a Terrier Mix doggy of my own. I use to have a Pitbull Mix but he passed away few years ago. I have experienced with senior dogs and can administer oral medications. My availability is very flexible on the weekends, whether it’s mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I can do check-in/ drop-in visits or pet sit for you at your convenience. Please let me know your pet’s feeding, walking, potty routine to accommodate their needs. I can provide you with photos throughout the day or evening! :)

About: I’m a true dog lover and treat every dog like part of my family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I currently have Olive, my 4-year-old Boston Terrier, and Chewy, my 14-year-old Shih Tzu, so I understand both energetic playtime and gentle senior care. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I provide personalized attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog will stay in a loving home with a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time and play. I have two dogs of my own, Olive, my energetic and playful Boston Terrier, and Chewy, a sweet senior Shih Tzu. Because Olive loves to play and has a high-energy personality, I prefer meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit.

About: I understand pets aren’t just animals. They’re a part of us we often make family. So I will take care & love them as such🐾🐈‍⬛🙏. I have free time all week as of now. That’s no problem. I work from home at night/flexible schedule that I often choose for myself. I am looking forward more to dog walking. But I respect and follow rules. Everybody cares differently for their pets, so I make sure to follow what they ask me to, I love animals so it’s no problem.
