Pet Sitting The Colony

“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.”

“Jessica was awesome! I had several drop-in visits scheduled while I was away and she did a great job showing up on time, following feeding instructions, and made sure to give my dog long walks and plenty of belly rubs. She kept me informed after every visit with lots of pictures and status updates. I will definitely be using her services again!”

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.

“I cannot say enough how in awe I am about Aidee. She quickly gained my trust with her patience and getting to know all three of my pups. She went above and beyond each time and for that I am grateful. I found my forever Rover girl in Aidee!”

About: I currently work at a veterinary hospital and at a doggy daycare. I’m in charge of watching, playing, feeding, walking, medicating, and bathing many dogs. I have learned to act quick on my feet while still being proactive. I am a vet tech student and work at a general practice veterinary hospital. I like to hang around dogs whenever I can. *If I don’t answer right away I’m probably working but I’m still available unless I text otherwise! I am easily trained so I can work around your dogs needs. I’m currently a student and a full time worker. I also have a dog of my own. Even during my free time I like to be around animals. I am glued to them 24/7. I like to feel secure so I am often just playing, resting, stimulating them the whole time I’m in the clients home or at my home.

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 Dogs Only): Calm, one-on-one 30-minute neighborhood strolls for small pups (up to 15 lbs). Perfect for gentle midday exercise and potty breaks while you're at work. For safety and comfort, walks are strictly on 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.  •Drop-In Visits (7 Days/Week): Morning, afternoon, and evening visits starting at 9:00 AM. Great for cats and dogs needing meals, medication, potty breaks, and company.  • Dog Walking (Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM): Calm midday neighborhood walks. Note: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs) on standard leashes and secure harnesses. 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.

About: Hi everyone! I am a recent Chapman graduate looking to make some money all while spending time with the ones I love most: furry friends! I own a cat currently and grew up with multiple large dogs as well cats. I am comfortable with all sizes of dog breeds and all cats. I would love to help out your best friend(s) and maybe become their second best friend😉 I am just starting a new full time position with 9-5 schedule only on weekdays. I am happy to help out as often as I can including doing drop ins at outside times or housesitting animals who are okay to be alone for the 8 hour shift. Weekends are most ideal!! I am looking to service out of other people's homes. I always leave the space clean with your animal fed and just having a potty break if needed. A happy dog will make a happy owner!

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and am used to having a pet filled household. I know the variety of personalities our pets can have and how best to interact with them based on that. I have sat for both cats and dogs previously and have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I have taken care of cats on a regular basis. I know the cuddle bugs and the ones that want to be left alone well. I have take care of a variety of dogs including a Chihuahua sized dog and a Great Pyrenees (120 lbs). I have dog sat 4 dogs for roughly 3 days before. Of the bunch, some just wanted to chill and one wanted to play fetch as much as possible. I have also taken care of pet medical care. Specifically, giving a dog twice daily pills and administering inhaler medicine for a cat. I am reliable, will communicate often, and love sending photos of how cute your pet is being! I am open to pet-sitting, pet check ins, and dog walks. I am currently flexible with scheduling but will need sufficient notice. I'm currently working part-time and am available to give your pets loving care. Mondays and Wednesday I am gone for over 6 hours in the morning. Otherwise, my schedule is currently flexible and I do have the ability to check in regularly or stay over. I will talk with you in detail to get to know your pets habits and routine. I will follow all instructions and review them regularly. My goals are to keep their routine as much the same as possible and give them extra attention.

“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!”
