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! If you need care on these days, send me a message and we can easily work around my school hours. 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.
“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 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.
“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 had a boston terrier and doberman as pets. Though I don’t have professional experience in taking care of dogs, I love taking care of people and pets. I’m open to learning, observant, communicative. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, studying part time and I am seeking for tasks I can do during my free time. I currently do not have pets at home right now. I have more interest in walking pets and drop-in visits. I also have the patience and strength to wall bigger dogs as I had a doberman who was 1-2 yrs old.
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.
“Hector did such a great job! He was super flexible and came over to meet my dog beforehand just to make sure my doggy would behave. On the day of the visit he took care of my dog and got him to play and run around outside. He even brought a package in for me! I will definitely be booking Hector for all my dog-sitting needs!”

“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’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.

I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Kimberly was excellent. She kept in communication with us and sent us photos of Dusty during her visit. I'm relieved to have someone as caring as her to check on my dog while we are out. Would book again.”


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.
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sylmar is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sylmar
We’re so lucky to have such an amazing dog sitter! Holly is incredibly patient with our doggo who can be stubborn when it comes to going outside for bathroom breaks. She always handles it with such calm persistence and care. We really enjoy the comedic photo updates, especially the “trail of treats” leading to a very judgmental looking Sam who is contemplating whether he should follow the trail and go outside. It always shows how much effort and creativity she puts in.

Jamie helped us out by looking after our shih tzu and cat during a week long trip. The 2x a day home drop-ins he provided went smoothly, without a hitch. We returned home to a happy dog, mail brought in and trash taken out. We'd call on Jamie again for any future travel plans.
