The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.

“Finn and I love Allison so much she has such a beautiful soul. She love my boy just like he was hers. Every time I come to Disneyland I chose her and always will I wish I could bring her everywhere we go. So if you’re looking for a responsible, loving and caring person for your pup you couldn’t ask for more with Allison.”

About: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was 10, have dog/cat sat for families, friends and neighbors for over 15 years. I have a very flexible schedule and am always willing to work on your time and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and taken care of! I'm currently working a remote part-time job and am available any time of the day to walk and care for your dogs. My schedule is very flexible, I'm available early mornings and afternoons as well for those needing to work late. From my own experience with my dog, I know how to crate train a dog. I ensure all possible exits leading outside of the home are closed and locked. Depending on the dogs diet, I'll provide the right amount of food and offer rewards for good behavior with treats (if allowed by the owner). Overall, I make sure the dog feels safe around me and try my best to build a trustworthy relationship.

“Emilie's visit with Lady and Ranger was excellent! Both pups took a liking to her, I don't think Ranger left her side the whole time! Having a small dog as well, Emilie was very familiar with Lady's behaviors. Both dogs enjoyed her presence and I'd be happy if she continued to watch them.”

About: I've grown up with pets and have always been aware of each of their personalities and telling communication. Some prefer space and some prefer attention and I can easily provide either depending on the owners or pet's needs/wants. I work as a behavior technician and the summer schedule is slower. I still have 1-2 clients each day but only for 3-4 hours a day so I can easily take care of a pet and then go to my client, then come back. My weekends are always busy. I cannot take pets to my apartment since my floor does not allow pets with hardwood flooring, but I can go to the pets home, walk, take them in my car to go to a dog park/beach, and care for them in their own home. I respect the owners and pet's spaces because if it were my own, I would want trust in this relationship.

“Thanks so much! I first booked Ally to help with my beloved dog Gracie, who was ill and on a lot of medications and needed some speciaized attention while my father took care of the other animals in the house. She came for a meet and greet to learn the layout of the house and meet the pack and see my complex feeding instructions. Unfortunately, my Gracie passed only a few days before my trip. 😭 Ally was willing to work with my ever changing needs with ease. She was super kind and ended up still coming twice during my trip to scoop the litter boxes and clean the dog bowls etc. She sent photos and an update, telling me how everyone was doing. It really helped ease my mind to have someone checking in while I was gone. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, puppy energy, and senior dog patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of attention and affection I give every pet. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and structure. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives timely and attentive care. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly bookings, I make sure I’m fully available and present for every pet I care for. I also plan my week in advance to accommodate pet sitting requests, making sure I have enough time and flexibility to give each animal proper attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into my routine rather than feeling like a task. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it while prioritizing the pet’s well-being and routine. In my care, pets receive plenty of attention, gentle interaction, playtime, and monitoring to ensure they are happy, safe, and stress free at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and communicate updates so pet parents feel confident and reassured.

About: I’ve had doggies all my life. I currently have a 4 year old miniature Aussie who is extremely spoiled and loved. His name is Dusty. He’s very friendly and welcoming. Also have our yellow dilute Australian Shepherd. He’s a rescue and hes already sooooo loved. He’s more on the shy side. I've had a lot of experience dog sitting for friends. I absolutely love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. I was responsible for grooming and caring for a large black lab throughout the last 6 years. I also have had some experience with puppies, senior dogs and providing medication to pups if needed. I work from home from 5am to 1:30pm, Monday through Friday. This gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with my little Aussies and your little ball of fur! I would be able to care for pets overnight, take them on morning and evening walks and spend time playing with them. I'm available during the day also on weekends. In my client's home I would provide attentive care to the pets and spend a lot of playing with them. My home has a a large yard for the doggies which they will have access to go all day long through a doggie door so they can play. The yard is gated and is kept locked for their security. I am only 5-10 minutes away from Disney, the Angels stadium, and the Honda Center🎡🎠🎢 I’m excited to help care , love and play with your fur babies. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and your doggie will never be left alone for longer than it would take me do the normal grocery store runs. I have a large yard for the doggies who have access to the yard if wanted with a doggie door. Gate stays locked so people can’t simply walk in. We also have a crate for added safety and comfort for your doggies needs.
