Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Sylmar

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and started walking them when I was 10. Three years ago, I adopted my own cat, and I currently dog-sit my aunt’s dog regularly. I have experience feeding, walking, and providing companionship for pets, and I love spending time with animals to keep them happy and safe. I am available most days and can provide pet care anytime. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am in college part-time but am free after 4 PM. Other than that, I am available anytime and flexible with short notice requests. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine closely. I feed pets on schedule, walk dogs, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

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! I work full time as an emergency room technician. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week allowing me to have 4 days out of the week to help clients with any pet care needs! I have the flexibility of offering all day/night services both weekdays and weekends! 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’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.

About: I’ve been on Rover for about 4 years now. I take care of the dogs as if they are my own and love giving them all the attention and cuddles they want. I’m also happy to walk, feed, and provide meds for them. I’m currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! My availability is open all week for walks, sitting, and some play time. I ensure that all the gates are closed if the dogs will be outside and I make sure that they aren’t outside when it’s too hot for their paws.

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! :)

“Laura went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Spending extra time, sending fun photos and taking long walks with her. Laura was prompt, thorough and caring - a true professional!”

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs, including dogs of all sizes. I have my own mode of transportation, and I am very reliable. References available! I am home from college for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and my own mode of transportation. I am available from around 9 am to 10 pm ish! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following owner instructions closely, maintaining a clean environment, and providing constant supervision. I ensure pets feel secure, get plenty of attention, regular exercise, and a calm, loving atmosphere tailored to their needs.

About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.

“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: I’ll care for your dog like It’s my own. I’ll match their energy so that it can be a playful and/or relaxing time. Plus I am a really patient person, so it helps when I care for my dogs when its time to brush their fur, give them a bath, walk them or train them. I work a part-time job, so I can definitely be available for a few days out of the week. With a few days in advance notice it works out perfectly with me. I love caring for my 2 dogs and making sure their needs are met, and I can assure you I can provide the same attention to your furry friends.

“Thank you for being so helpful and flexible!”

About: I was a pet owner myself of 2 dogs and 2 cats for 6 years. I understand fully the needs and the responsibilities that comes with pets. I am great at following specific instructions. I am great in communication and punctuality. I am available past 4:30pm Monday’s-Friday’s. Saturday’s and Sunday’s I am completely available! I would love to do dog walking in the morning to the evening on weekends. My apartment is very safe and pet friendly. I have my own room and live with my mom and younger sister. All neighborhood dogs and cats are very friendly but I can definitely accommodate to your specific needs.

“Lisa was great with our little Lexi! She was on time, communicative ( we loved getting the photos) and followed instructions as were previously discussed. Lisa was excellent company for Lexi in our absence. We will definitely invite her back!”

About: I’ve fostered all kinds of animals of all ages. I’ve bottled fed both puppies and kittens. I am a foster failure I’ve adopted my last 3 fosters. I love animals they’re the best companions. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I can board any day any time. I have a gated yard, and friendly dogs and cats who could keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if that is your preference.

“Definitely our go to pet sitter, our dogs and cats love her and she always respects our home. Will continue to ask for her back and you should too!”

About: I have been petsitting since I was about 12 years old. My whole street relied on me, every dog on that street would get excited just by the sight. I was in charge of, feeding, playing with them, bathing them, and walking them. Some people just wanted them to have comfort, especially the older ones. I have dealt with many puppies and senior dogs too, all different sizes. I love pet sitting, and since I have moved, it has been much harder to find clientele. This is something I would love to continue and pursue as a future. I am also a wrangler at Baldwin Lake Stables, meaning the upkeep for the horses relies on me. The feeding, cleaning, hard labor , etc. I also take care of the bulls, goats, rabbits, etc. I am very experienced when it comes to the upkeep of our babies. You can trust your furbabies will be loved and cared for just as you would. I currently do not have a job, I will always make sure your babies are getting as much time and love as you would give. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.

“Excellent pet service, reliable and professional”

About: I have taken care of dogs of any size and breed. I love dogs and cats. I use to help my neighbor with her fur baby I would walk him 3 times a day. He was a sweetheart. I’m currently staying at home right now. So I will have all the time in the world with your fur baby. I am available mon-Sundays right now. I always care for my pets. Two of my dogs sleep in there crates for bed time. And they always going outside to do their business or to play around. I will go out there as well and play with them. I teach them to let me know when they have to use the bathroom outside by letting them outside after eating, drinking water, or playing.
