Pet Sitting Valley Village

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who had a number of dogs and horses throughout my childhood. More recently, I have hands-on experience as a dog foster (I adopted one of them too), and volunteer dog walker with a local rescue. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs & cats with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when I am with them. I am currently consulting from home and have the flexibility in my schedule to take your pupper for a walk, or check in on your cat to make sure they are doing well. I’m a responsible, detail-oriented dog mom who prioritizes consistency, safety, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

About: I had a handsome cattle dog for six years (Pancho!), so I know high-energy, highly attentive pups, and I’m used to reactive dogs, dogs who need solo walks, and dogs who think poop is a snack. I know how to steer clear of triggers so walks stay calm and safe. As someone that used to own a “high maintenance” dog, I know the stress of asking someone else to care for them, don’t worry, I got you! No judgement! I'm also a regular cat sitter for my sister's three kitties, each on their own special diet and personality (they love each other, but must eat in separate rooms). I work from home, and would love to have your pet as my co-worker. I’m happy to keep routines and send plenty of photos :) Dogs, cats, and overnights welcome. I currently don’t have any pets since we recently said goodbye to our dear Pancho dog, and would LOVE to have some furry faces back in my life! I work from home, so your pet is never alone. Potty breaks can happen as often as needed. During the workday, they're welcome to nap in my office with me (was my cattle dog's favorite spot), or stretch out on the couch in the living room, or hang in the fenced yard, which I can see through the big sliding glass doors by my desk. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to plan walks around your pet's routine. Otherwise, we do a long lunch walk and another around 3pm. I usually wrap up work by 3pm, which leaves plenty of time for afternoon play and hangouts. I have no other pets right now, so they get my full attention, and they're welcome on the furniture in my home. I have two fenced areas: a front driveway that's mostly concrete, and a backyard with grass and trees. My dog preferred the driveway, where he loved sunbathing on the warm concrete :) For care at your home, I'm happy to crate your dog if that's part of their routine. Cat owners, I'll clean litter boxes during drop-ins, or set one up here for overnight stays.

“Taylor did a great job! Thank you, Taylor.”

“Jamie truly went above and beyond for me and my kitties. I lost my sitter the day before and was just recovered from a bout of chronic illness flares. I came home to not only happy kitties, a clean smelling home but a few nice touches to the litter box to make it easier for my Return. She even helped a couple dishes I didn’t get to the night before. Truly grateful for all her help, attention to detail and sneaking photos of my Shy boy who hid under my bed per usual. Thank you so much !!!”

“Emily stopped in to watch our kitties for a few days and she did great. She took great care of them and provided a lot of updates and pictures. I’m glad we went with her services.”

“Mandy was wonderful with my pup! I look forward to booking her again!”

“Paris did an excellent job taking care of my cat, who is a very picky eater and slow to trust anyone. She gave me regular updates and was very patient trying new techniques to get him to eat and socialize. I came home to a very happy kitty! Overall Paris was a responsible sitter who went above and beyond to make sure my scaredy cat was well taken care of. I’d trust her to watch my pet again.”

About: As someone who grew up with large dogs (German Shepherds and a rescue German Shepherd/Border Collie mix), I spent my formative years learning how to play with and take care of our dogs in all stages of their life. Whether you have a energetic, young pup, a wise, older pup, or anything in between, you can trust that I will take care of them with patience and respect. I love all dogs, regardless of size or breed, and am willing to try working with dogs who may take a little extra time warming up to new people or maybe are a little "quirky". I'm a little quirky, too, so it might just work out. I also love cats and have over two decades experience caring for them. Whether they need attention or a little space, I’d love to check in on them as well. I am available on most mornings for walks or check-ins and some afternoons as well. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently have availability on most days in the mornings and some afternoon and evenings. I am happy to follow your instructions for how best to care for your pet. I am patient and friendly, and will respect your pets and your property.

“Mary did an excellent job taking care of my cat Boone! My cat is usually very shy but he warmed up to her. She sent pictures every day.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals who were truly a part of the family, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Throughout college, I nannied for two kids, their dog and occasionally house sat. I believe every animals deserves patience, love, attentive care, and a safe, happy place to play and be themselves. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pups attention, cuddles, walks, and playtime. Between dancing, auditions and Pilates, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and right at home! I can be flexible most weekdays and weekends, excluding Monday and Wednesday nights! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m reliable, attentive, and live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with no current animals, giving your pup a calm space to settle in. I have experience with both crated and non crated dogs and cats and am happy to follow your routines, instructions, and preferences to make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and cared for!

About: I’ve cared for multiple pets with all kinds of personalities, routines, and lifestyles since I was little. From watching my neighbors’ cats and a friend’s dog to caring for the prince of our family, I’ve always loved making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m more than happy to do whatever it takes to keep your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means putting booties on their paws, heating up their food, making sure they always have a full and clean bowl of water, giving them plenty of playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they’re comfortable. Every pet is different, and I believe their individual needs, routines, and personalities should come first. Whatever your pet is used to and comfortable with, I’ll do my best to maintain that routine and give them the same love and attention they receive at home. I currently work Tuesday- Friday between 9-3pm. My weekends are wide open and I can always work around my schedule to fit yours and your pets needs. :) I ensure their safety is the top priority! I’m new to them and so I don’t want to rush them and stress them out, I’m in their territory and I’m simply helping them stick to a routine/ keep them company!

“David was really friendly and Simpa really enjoyed his walk with him!”

About: Your dog will have the best time with me! I've been around dogs my whole life and I love getting to just spend time with them. From playing to walking or even just sitting on the couch together, I'll make sure your dog has the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time/freelance so I have plenty of time to fit into your dog's schedule and make sure they get all of the attention and love they deserve. I will follow all of your instructions to the letter so that you don't have to worry while you're away. The most important thing is that your dog feels safe and happy.

“Ally is the absolute best! Her friendliness and love towards animals made me feel truly confident that my two cats were taken care. Highly recommend her amazing services!”

Richard F.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my two cats alone for so long. Victoria put me completely at ease! She's extremely kind and dedicated. One of my cats is very anxious around strangers and usually hides, but Victoria had him out for pets and treats within a couple days. She sent updates along with pics and videos everyday. I came home to happy and healthy cats! I will absolutely book her again next time I go out of town.”

About: I have had cats and dogs and mice and fish my whole life, and have been many people's go-to consultant for care and advice, and for taking care of their pets when they're out of town. I am one of those people that folks say have "a way with animals". Always have, even when I was a toddler. I can administer medications and injections, help with puppy training, and bring your shy pet out of his or her shell. I rescued my own kitties when they were only a week old and syringe and bottle-fed them and reared them up to be sturdy upright feline citizens of the world. I'm good with the "difficult" cases, and a gentle loving companion to the seniors. I do this because I adore and feel a bond with all animals and creatures of all kinds. :) I am available for morning and mid-day walks and drop-ins, and some evening walks depending on the day, and evening drop-ins most days of the week. I'll dote on your pets as if they are my own, and am happy to follow their routines and rituals and also bring a little novelty and fun to their day.

About: Seasond sitter. I have cared for homes, properties, dogs, cats and various pets for many years, working in the US and abroad. I'm reliable, discreet, punctual and take excellent care of pets, plants, your mail, and tend immediately to problems that arise. Professionals that travel, colleagues, friends, family and neighbors have trusted me for many years with home sitting, property management, pet sitting, walking, feeding, bathing, play & quiet time with their precious pets/family members. I am fully vaccinated. Excellent references are available upon request. I currently work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry family members in their familiar and comfortable environment. I can be contacted up to one day in advance (if not already booked) for pet care requests. I prefer working in environments that are smoke free, pet friendly, fenced or have safe designated space for pets. I can care for you pet in your home as well.

About: Getting to pet a dog, whether on the job, at the park, or walking around my neighborhood, is always the highlight of my day! I’ve taken care of coworker’s and neighbor’s pets before and always enjoy the time I get to spend with them :) I also grew up in a family that always had dogs, so I learned the responsibilities of feeding and walking dogs at an early age, as well as teaching basic commands like sit, stay, and no tugging on the leash on walks! Our family dogs were primarily rescue dogs of unknown breed origin, as well as Bichon-Frisés , a dog breed I dearly love. I have the perfect temperament and patience for older dogs, but welcome doggies of all ages! I am most comfortable caring for small and medium sized dogs under 40 pounds, as those are the type of dogs I grew up around and have dogsat for previously. I’m able do drop-ins during the weekdays and housesit any day of the week! My general drop-in availability is Mondays - Thursdays, late mornings to evenings. While in your home, I will take the utmost care to leave it as I found it, if not a little bit better! I will also take copious notes on everything your pet need, where all pet items are stored in your home, and all emergency contact info. I am incredibly organized and love taking copious notes.

“This was my first time with Rover. Everything went really well with Jamie taking care of Oliver and Blue. I would recommend for sure.”
