Pet Sitting The Colony

About: UCLA Alum and policy professional with a dependable, hybrid schedule. I specialize in pet concierge service for clients including principals, c-suite, medical professionals, and start-up founders. Attention to detail is critical to serve both the client and pets specific needs. I’ve grown up with dogs from puppy age to elderly. I watch dog training videos in my free time. I nursed my own puppy at 3 months old back to health when she broke her leg. That means I’m persistent and dedicated to loving on pets to make them happy. It also means I can get creative with getting pets to take their medicine and supplements. I am pleased for the opportunity to serve you and your furry family. Thank you for your valuable time. I mostly work from home, 8 am to 5 pm. With planning and forethought, I am happy to help you when I am not working. I treat your pets like my pets! I am happy to give ample exercise and play to your pets indoors and outdoors, whatever your preference.

“Chelsea and Richard have been our pet sitters for the last 3 years and they are amazing. They are very responsive and flexible with the schedule. They are also great about giving updates and pictures while we are gone. When we come home I know my pets are both well taken care of, and very happy and content. Highly recommended.”

About: I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who loves being around animals. Having grown up with two different sets of Shih Tzus, I love learning each animals’ unique personality and bond with them. I have previously cared for both family friends and friends pets and looking to expand! I am confident in my ability to follow instructions and provide attentive care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I am willing to take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am excited to provide reliable and trustworthy services to both pets and their owners. I typically have a flexible work schedule. When I don’t have to travel for work, I am working from home. I have the ability to both provide care at my house as well as travel to yours to help reduce stress on your pets! I have a small fenced in patio for business to be taken care of, as well as access to parks/dog parks within my neighborhood if your pet is comfortable with that. I have a gate to block the stairs (at my house) in case your pet likes to wander, and have the ability to let them roam throughout the house. Whatever your pet is used to, I try to accommodate that!

“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: Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am officially certified in Pet CPR through the RECOVER Initiative—the evidence-based gold standard developed by veterinary emergency specialists. Lifelong pet lover specializing in patient, low-stress drop-in care for senior dogs and cats in the comfort of their home. I understand that aging pets need extra patience, steady footing, and a gentle, familiar routine rather than high-energy commotion. What to expect from my visits: • Senior Dog Care: Unhurried backyard let-outs, careful support with mobility/stairs, fresh water, and gentle, calm companionship. • Cat Visits: Quiet, boundary-respecting drop-ins, thorough litter box maintenance, and personalized feeding routines. • Weekday Walks (Small to Medium Dogs): Calm, one-on-one 30-minute neighborhood strolls tailored for small and medium pups (up to 40 lbs). Perfect for gentle midday exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent potty routines while you’re at work. For safety and comfort, walks are strictly private (no pack walks) using standard leashes and secure harnesses. • Health & Details: Strict adherence to medication schedules, special diets, and precise owner instructions. • Peace of Mind: Punctual check-ins, home security vigilance, and detailed photo updates from every single visit. Pet care fits naturally into my flexible freelance schedule, meaning your pets get unhurried, focused attention during every visit. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date.  walkers. • Drop-In Visits (7 Days/Week): Flexible morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Ideal for cats and dogs needing meals, medication, potty breaks, and companionship. • Dog Walking (7 Days/Week): Calm neighborhood walks tailored to your dog's pace and energy level. Best suited for small-to-medium pups and gentle leash-walkers. Your home’s security and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities.  • Strictly follow feeding, fresh water, medication, and cleanup routines.  • Always double-check exterior doors, gates, and locks before leaving.  • Practice attentive outdoor safety: short leashes, checking pavement temperature, and steering clear of unfamiliar off-leash dogs.  • Every visit ends with a visual safety check, followed by detailed notes and photos for your peace of mind.

“Amber continues to be an excellent sitter for our cat Josephine! She is consistent and reliable and clearly our Jo loves her. We will 100% work with her again.”

About: Every time I visit my friends I spend (at least) 10 minutes catching up with their pets. As an owner of multiple dogs, I understand the patience, firmness and delicacy that goes into caring for a pet. Your children will be in responsible hands! I work Monday nights & Saturday/Sunday mornings. The remainder of my time will be dedicated strictly to nurturing your pets! I will walk them every morning and night and make sure they feel loved while they’re parents are away! I will walk the dogs at least twice a day (morning & after dinner) to make sure they’re staying active and cared for. I will feed then as necessary and spend tons of quality time with them!

“Tera is awesome! She’s very sweet and she took good care of our two cats. Tera is great with communication. I feel at ease while on vacation because I knew Tera was with our cats. I would definitely recommend booking Tera for your kitty care needs!”

About: Hi I am Brandon, I have had many pets ranging from bunny, fish, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and hamster. I enjoy sitting there and spending time with animals, be able to observe them and always smile with them. I like to make the animals feel that they can close and comfortable with me, as thats a main goal of mine. I see most animals as a fun and joyful thing, they are always able to play and thats what I like to do is play alongside then. I am currently in school and play volleyball at my college, I will find time to be with your pets since I find myself with a-lot of free-time. In order for me to care for my pets and others, I show that i am there and always happy to see them and play with them. Besides being able to feed them I will enjoy more to play with them and run around. I am able to even care for them such as bathing and etc.

“Nisa, I can't thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of Theo. It means the world to me knowing he's getting the best treatment and his walk it's a huge relief, especially since I know how much he loves his routine. He really misses you and keeps looking around for you, so I'm sure he's eagerly awaiting your next visit! Your the best!”

“Benjamin cares for our senior golden retriever who is hearing, vision and mobility impaired. Since we work throughout the day, we wanted someone to give him a visit to love on him and tend to his needs. We’re so very thankful Ben is able to help our senior while we’re away. We’ve noticed our boy happier and even more full of life. Thanks Ben! Bonzai can’t wait to see you”

“Katie was amazing with our 3 kitties! She and her partner did an outstanding job stopping by twice a day and giving our kitties their food, cleaning their litter and also taking time to play with them. We came home to a happy home and it was very reassuring to have someone to trust our cats with while we’re out of town. We got plenty of updates twice a day with lots of pictures and videos.”

“Windy was so accommodating with a short-notice booking, and she always updated me with notes and pictures which made me feel so secure about leaving my cat with her. I would absolutely book with Windy again!”
