Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In The Plaza

“Jennifer did a great job checking on my two cats. One of my cats is particularly nervous around new people and he warmed up to her quick! She always made she they had food, water, and some cuddles.”

About: Having had dogs all my life, I know firsthand how to give large, loving breeds the care and attention they thrive on. My current dog is a senior German Shepherd-Rottweiler mix, which means I have real, everyday experience with senior dog care... from slower walks to extra patience and comfort. I've also cared for friends' dogs while they were away on vacation, so I'm no stranger to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable when their owners are gone. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pups. I take daily walks and stay very active, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Your dog will have a present, attentive caregiver by their side throughout the day. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home, sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of attention, and leaving everything just as I found it. On walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to their energy and surroundings. Your home and your pet are treated with complete care and respect.

“Bronte looked after our cat Pacho for five days. We got photos and updates after each drop-in visit. It was clear Pacho loved her. Bronte is caring, communicative and trustworthy and I would without hesitation recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Meghan went above and beyond all my expectations! I was leaving for a trip, and our dog sitter called out sick. Meghan gladly accepted our Bubba at the last minute. She regularly checked in with us, showing where he had walked, how happy he was with his new companion, and, most importantly, that he always had company. She was very communicative and understanding of his needs as an old Bubba American Eskimo.I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone needing a care giver for their furry baby. Thank you so much Meghan you're truly the best!!”

About: I have been a pet-sitter for nearly a decade. I was working with Peace of Mind Pet Concierge in Long Beach before they moved out of state and sadly closed their business. I have learned from the best and am always ready to care for pups and kitties anytime. I am comfortable with providing medication and giving the best care all animals deserve. I have my own pup and kitties, so I know how important it is to make sure my clients know their babies are good in hands with me. I work part time at the Crooked Duck and District 4 Pizza. So I’m always around in the neighborhood. Maybe you’ve already seen me at the restaurants!! 😄😄 I still pet sit on the side from families I already work with outside of Rover. I have also volunteered at Long Beach Animal Care Services at their Pet Food Express location in Bixby Knolls. I have ample time in my day to help with petsitting in and around my area. I care very much about the safety of pets and abide by all rules for which families have in place to ensure their pets stay safe. Some families have requested cats stay in certain parts of the home, while dogs stay in another. I am aware, respectful, and always follow the instructions of families’ requests.

“We initially hired Jessica for a trip in March, but she was so calm and confident during our first meeting/interview that I quickly realized she’d be a perfect fit for our drop-in needs as well. She responds quickly, is prompt, and pays attention to all instructions. Our (three!) dogs each have different personalities, and they can be rambunctious when together. Jessica truly handles them like a pro. She makes sure our indoor cat gets love and attention, too. I’m so glad we found her!”

About: I've owned everything from birds, turtles, fish and dogs. My dogs are treated like my kids so don't expect yours to be treated any less than that. I've also pet sit cats, dogs, and rabbits so I know how to care for a wide variety of normal house pets. Pet care is a daily thing for me I have 2 pups myself and I feed them before work, make sure they have time to use the restroom, and relax a bit with them before work. After work we go out to either play or walk and then they have their dinner and we play before we go to bed. I have a nice back yard dogs can run around in as well as different size crates/ kennels if that's needed as well. I'm patient and let them have their time to sniff everything needed and let them enjoy themselves. They're here much shorter than we are so I want them to enjoy life.

“Lindsay was such a great find, too good to be true! She walks my two leash- reactive dogs, fed them as asked, and let herself in and out carefully so they would not escape. So grateful we found her!”

“Booked Lyza for a couple days while we were out. She went over and beyond what we expected. Our pup was in great hands! Would definitely recommend Lyza and we can’t wait to book her again!”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have spent over 20 years caring for humans and am interested in expanding my caregiving to pets! I have experience with puppies and neighbors animals as a drop in sitter I work mostly remote so I have flexibility in my schedule to drop in to visit, walk, and play with your pets! I am used to caring for my own dog and do daily walks and games. I am used to dropping into neighbors homes to help with dogs and cats. I am able to feed, walk, play, and do some enrichment activities.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of and raised 3 dogs and 1 cat my entire life and I love hanging out with them. I’m always taking them on 3+ mile walks around the island I live on. One of my dogs lost her leg in a car accident and I held her together while we drove to the hospital and now she’s a strong beautiful tripod dog. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I can guarantee a copious amount of time with any pets that need care and attention. I have a large front yard and a huge house indoor for any pets to romp around in and have fun. I have plenty of food and water for them as well.

“Hannah is a pleasure to work with. She is timely, professional and courteous. I really enjoy using Hannah to look after my girls and will continue to do so.”

Love them as my own Im typically open pretty randomly but would have no issue coming up with set schedules. Time of day doesnt bother me so super early to super late is okay. I am employed but hours are completely flexible Making sure their supplys are nice and stocked. I love to play so the more active the pet the better.

“Kelsy is absolutely wonderful - she has such a positive energy and our cats took to her right away. She is communicative, dependable, patient, responsive, personable, and most importantly she loves animals and they love her back! I will definitely schedule her services again.”

“Jessica is phenomenal. She is attentive and responsive. There is always a level of anxiousness to arise when using the service; but Jessica made the experience comfortable. She sent plenty of pictures and even offered to take my trash out but I was due back by the time the trash was to be picked up - so helpful. If I ever have need of the service again i sincerely hope Jessica has the availability. She was great!!”
