Pet Sitting Vineyard

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

“Such a kind and thoughtful person. Treated Margot so well and took some really great photos of her to share. I will for sure be using her again.”

“I breathe easy when Alina takes care of my fur babies. A trustworthy sitter that I will use again and again. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Alina!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Starting with having a few dogs as pets growing up, I learned to care for them and train them. I then started working with dogs at a grooming salon. I was working as a bather for about 3 years before I acquired a position as a dog handler in a boarding facility where I learned how to do Obedience Training and I never let go of that specific field. I continue to work in Dog handling and provide care in several aspects of a dog’s health. I am able to provide baths, trim nails, administer Medications, reinforce Good behavior through consistent training and mental stimulation. I love working with dogs and serving those who love dogs as well! I work in a Dog boarding facility very close to my home, and therefore have a lot of hands on experience caring for pups. While dogs are in my care, I am able to offer services like nail trimming and ear cleaning at the moment. I am hoping to add bathing services very soon. I typically take a lot of walks in my free time and would be happy to take your pup along with me. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always a priority. While I do work close to home. My wife is also home a lot, so you can be sure that your pup is never left alone. My home features a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. Inside, the home is equipped with both air conditioning and heating, ensuring your pup stays comfortable year-round, whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly evening. I strive to provide a clean, safe, and relaxing environment where every dog feels right at home.

About: I work from home and am home full time, 24/7! I’ll be a friend and playmate to all fur babies! I have experience with pets with separation anxiety so I totally get how they need all day love! Live in a duplex house with an extra room for all the furries and a huge living room with dog beds all over! AND, drumroll please… a HUGE backyard: awesome 6ft fence, with full natural grass yard and a small flower garden for all the smells. I’d love to have your pets over for a paw-ty while you are away, or pick them up for a walk on the way to the parks! I love taking pets to new parks for sniffs and if we have to drive, every pup gets a seatbelt! And a free bath if we end up getting a little rowdy and dirty while in nature hehe! I’ve taken care of various small to medium sized dogs for the last 15 years, from bichon, Havanese, poodle, chihuahua, Dalmatians, to Huskies! Even some furry cat friends! I love all things furry and have a fluffy baby of my own. I have experience with senior dogs who need medicine, diaper care, or those pups with special needs like assistance walking or going to the restroom, as I did those with my senior baby before he passed. My husband also has a hybrid schedule so there is always an extra set of eyes and an pup parent for love and cuddles! For any elderly dogs or dogs who can’t walk too far but love the fresh air, we have our large fenced yard and I also have 2 dog strollers to make sure they still feel safe and part of the dog pack! Safety is the MOST important to me so I have separated feeding areas and additional baby gates for the doors. Because of this, all unleashed play will occur in our fenced yard and we won’t be visiting any dog parks so I appreciate your understanding on this!! Neighbors, friends, family, and roommates have all entrusted me to watch over their loved ones and we’ve always had fun, safe, and silly times together! I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your fur babies and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m big on pet action videos and pictures so if you want those as a pet parent I’m at your service! I love to cater to each pet parent and pet’s needs through their little staycation oasis. I’m fully remote and work from home so your pups will have a friend 24/7 if you wanted! Daily routines include wake up cuddles and kisses, morning, lunch, and dinner walks. More cuddles and kisses, lots of toys for playtime! Lots of beds for sleepies, a large fenced yard for play chase or fetch and separate areas for eating! Oh yeah, and more cuddles, kisses, photos and videos in-between! I will always have your dog on leash when we go for walks or in an enclosed yard if they need to be let out or just fed with a companion. I love taking pups to large grassy fields and in that case I have a few 25 ft leashes so the pups can “run free” but won’t be able to run away and if I have multiple pets, I would have my husband there to also help monitor the pup play!

“Magdalena is wonderful. She took the time to come meet the dogs first and get to know them. When she came to take care of them she sent photos and updates which was really appreciated. I will definitely hire Magdalena again.”

“Thanks for checking in on Leela and Bun Bun during the holidays! Makes our holiday travel less stressful knowing that our pets are well cared for.”

About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Since my very first Boxer, Roxy, I’ve been completely in love with the companionship of dogs. In fact, I raised my own dog, Rambo, from a puppy, and he still lives with me today! As a fellow dog owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can sometimes be to juggle everything that comes with having a pet. Let me help ease those worries and be there for you when you need a hand! I absolutely love everything about animals and can’t wait to meet your pup soon! I live super close to the beach and several great dog parks. I’m very attentive to each owner’s preferences for how and where their dog should be walked, and I’ll always check in to make sure your pup gets the care that suits them best. Since I’m a long-distance runner, I’m more than happy (and able!) to give your dog as much exercise as they need! I'm super flexible and easygoing, but I do have to be strict about overnight dog-sitting cancellations to keep things fair for everyone. That said, if we set up a plan to walk your pup, you can count on me, I’d never miss it! 😊 Your pet's happiness means so much to me! I won’t be able to provide house-sitting services, but I do have a park very close to my home where I can take your dog for walks and, with your permission, even enjoy some playtime in the dog park! Rest assured, I’ll be the only one caring for your dog, so you can feel completely at ease!

About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.

About: I adopted my first own dog in 2012 and cared for him until he passed of old age in 2024. He was a half English half American bulldog. Now I have a French bulldog, an 8‑year‑old cat and a guinea pig. I understand dog and cat behavior and routines really well. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, and give meds to their pets and I treat every pet like part of my family. I understand the true purpose of walks for dogs and always let them take their time sniffing and exploring so they feel mentally stimulated and relaxed. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and available any time, any day. I’m used to juggling different feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, and your pet will get lots of attention and company throughout the day. I follow your feeding, walking, and crate routines so they feel safe and consistent. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with seniors and more nervous pets, and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re comfortable and secure.

“Love the services from Alicia. She drops by twice a week to care for my cat Miki. She's very caring and gentle. She always sends pictures and videos for updates, she takes her time to play and interact with him everything she visits the house.”

“I always feel confident leaving my senior diabetic cat in Tamar’s care. She administers his insulin without issue, makes sure he eats and is cared for while I’m gone. He loves her too ❤️10/10 recommend Tamar!!”

About: I’ve had my anxious baby boy black cat since he was a little foster kitten in 2020. I also grew up with a crazy maltipoo, birds, turtles, and more, so I’m very comfortable caring for all types and personalities! I’m currently working part time as a nanny for human babies, so I have plenty of odd hours to help with your fur babies too! I’m happy to follow any safety and care instructions you have. I can play with more social animals or be gentle and quiet with more anxious pets.

“As always rachel was amazing!! She’s very communicative letting you know when she’s heading over, there, and what’s going on. Our cats had some incidents and she took care of them. She also spends time playing with them- one of our cats is more shy with strangers and she even got him out. We’re so grateful we found her as a sitter!!”

“This is my third time using Sorn as my cat sitter. She is wonderful and reliable. It makes such a difference to leave home and not have to worry about your furry family members. Thank you, Sorn!”

“Angelica continues to provide great care for our dog and is attentive to our dog's needs while also providing us with excellent communication. I trust Angelica with my dog at my house and am so grateful to have found her- will happily book again!”

Abigail O.

“Booked with Bella a second time! She was familiar with my cat’s care instructions from last time and followed them perfectly. My cat was happy to have someone he’s familiar with come back :)”

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young! I enjoy every chance I get to interact with all types of dogs and treat them as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule Monday-Saturday, available early mornings to help out with your dogs needs to ensure they get their walks & playtime & care! I spend as much time possible to care for your dog / home if needed, I am always respectful of what owners need and any expectations.
