Pet Sitting The Plaza

About: I am the biggest dog lover ever!! I truly think they are a gift to the world and I would be honored to help give your pup some lovin! I have grown up with dogs my entire life, including all rescue pups from a variety of backgrounds. I have quite a bit of experience dealing with elderly and ill dogs as well as puppies and fearful/reactive rescue animals! I have life long experience with dog walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc and I consistently volunteer at a local animal shelter where I have learned to create trust and care with fearful, traumatized, and aggressive dogs. I love love love animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care always. I’m a college student at CSULB studying public relations, I also work front desk at a spa! This means I have a much different schedule than many working professionals and am often extremely flexible with my schedule! I am often available during weekday morning, afternoons, etc when many people are at work. I am happy to care for your pet in whichever way you feel is needed for you and your fur baby. I can crate animals if needed or let them have free range if that is what works the best for you! I know that every pet and family are different so I am more than happy to do whatever feels best for you!

“Bronte is a great addition to my dogs routine. She is very reliable and trustworthy and my dog Luna, loves her. Knowing Luna is cared for while I'm at work makes me feel so happy and relieved!! 5 shiny stars for Bronte:)”

“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”

About: I grew up in a house where there always seemed to be animals in every corner, so it's probably no surprise that I ended up making a career out of caring for them. For the last 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of animal rescues and supervised veterinary teams to care for animals of all kinds. I've learned everything from reading behaviors to administering meds and cleaning wounds...but just as importantly, I've learned how to make animal's feel safe and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I've fostered dozens and have three of my own (all with different energy levels, high and low) so trust that I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like family. In a way I'd want for my own pets. I'm also currently expecting my first baby (yay!), so I'm taking a step back from my regular career for a while. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I'm currently taking a step back from my full-time career to enjoy my first pregnancy (I'm still quite early), so I have a very flexible schedule and am around most days :) I always try to keep routines as normal as possible while you're away. I'll send plenty of updates (I usually have my camera with me, so expect lots of photos!) and make sure they get all the love, exercise, and attention they're used to. I'm comfortable administering meds, performing injections, wound care, nail trims, and anal gland expressions. One of my dogs is a GSP, so high-energy dogs are right up my alley, and I'm always happy to keep up with walks, adventures, or training. Honestly, I'm here to care for your pet in whatever way makes you feel most comfy, even if that just means sitting on the couch while we watch some old movies. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or take care of the little things around your home while you're away. My goal is that you come home to a happy pet and a house that's exactly how you left it.

“Jennifer was amazing. She kept us updated the entire time we were on vacation and took plenty of pictures of Judy every day. She’s been extremely kind, helpful and professional. We would give her 6 stars if we could.”

“Lindsay is great. I hired Lindsay originally for my dog and she was fantastic with Lola. My dog has since passed away and now I use Lindsay for my cat. She is super helpful for my special cat. I highly recommend Lindsay for your pet needs.”

“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”

“This was my first time with Hannah. She was very accommodating, timely, clean and took great care of my girls. I really appreciated the small things like cleaning the dog bowls after feeding and picking up poop in the yard. That was going the extra mile to me.”

“Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.”

“Kristen was amazing. She came by every day while I was on vacation to take care of my dogs, giving them plenty of playtime and snuggles while also making sure the house stayed in order. She even brought packages in and rotated the lights, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were. She also scheduled a meet and greet a week beforehand and was so thorough and professional. I felt completely comfortable trusting both my dogs and my home to her. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Mary was incredibly warm and supportive. She went out of her way to help me and I really appreciated it. My cat can be shy but warmed up to her quickly.”

“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, new to the area and currently accepting new clients with flexible, wide-open availability. I have two dogs of my own—Franny (a senior queen 👑) and Carlos—so I really understand that every pet has their own pace and personality. Whether your dog wants a slow, sniff-everything stroll or a more active walk, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, even the strong pullers 💪) and focus on safe, positive walks with good manners and plenty of time to explore. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I adjust my approach to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, secure, and as you left them. I’m mindful with doors, gates, and leashes, and always prioritize safety. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to keep your pet relaxed, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets.

I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.

“Kelsy was wonderful with our cats while we were out of town for our wedding. She send plenty of pictures and made sure our recently-post-surgery cat was doing well. Highly recommend!”
