Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in West Adams, Los Angeles, CA

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life, I always loved animals growing up! I have a Shiba Inu who I absolutely adore with all my heart but she is back in Texas while I try to settle down here in Los Angeles! So I do miss having a furry friend around/ someone who I can give all my love to! I do have experience in taking care of puppies but not so much on senior dogs unfortunately, but I am willing to gain experience of course! I am currently in between jobs at the moment, and since I am new to Los Angeles it has been a little tough looking for a secure job so I have a very flexible schedule to play with your pups! I have turf on the rooftop so your pups will have plenty of pee breaks, I do live in a town home with 4 of my best friends who are also dog lovers and miss having company in the house! the neighborhood is very dog friendly and plenty of places to explore! I also live next to a big fenced dog park!

“Liz was great, sent pictures and made sure my cat was a happy camper while I was out of town. Accommodated me wonderfully and was communicative about everything. 5 stars!”

“Kate took such amazing care of my beloved boys! From making sure they had plenty of water to brushing them with their human-turned-cat brushes, she was kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I felt one hundred percent confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend her- thank you so much!”

“Johnny, can’t say enough good things about you. Thank you for taking such good care of Stevie and being kind to her annoying cat roommates. Every picture I received revealed how comfortable she was with you. Highly recommend him for pet sitting and walking.”

About: I am a cat person through and through but I love animals. I've been disappointed in pet services I've used for my own cats in the past so I feel that experience has lead me to be very kind and respectful to your animals. I was laid off from my office job, so currently my schedule is wide open. I'm not a morning person though, so I do prefer late mornings as well as the afternoon and evening I have had to use pet sitting services in the past, some of which have left me feeling disappointed in the lack of patience and care. This experience makes me very sympathetic to animals needs and I will do my best to take care of your animal well. I'm also very respectful of your wishes and needs

“Tiaira was awesome! She took great care of my kitties and even cleaned a bunch of cat yak and vacuumed for us before she left! Definitely went above and beyond. Will be hiring her again 🙂”

“Melissa is amazing! She was very communicative and even got our very shy cat to come out for treats and pets. Will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Animal lover and protecter all my life. Nothing I wouldn't do to protect and care for anyones pet/animal that I wouldn't do for my own. I have trained dogs since I was a kid, mostly my own family pets growing up. I have helped many other fiends with their own "people problems" when it comes to understand how dogs and cats work, and obtain a great relationship between the Pet and Owner. I have also just enrolled at SAMC to study Animal Behavioral Science and training, hopefully moving toward a Veterinary Tech BA. I work from home. We have a lovely home with a large fenced in backyard in a great neighborhood in West Adams. I currently am at school for Animal Behavioral Science (mostly from home). There is always someone at home here as my partner works from home as well. I have a large fenced in yard for the doggos to play in, but also live near to parks and great overall neighborhoods to take walks. I'm not a fan of dog parks that take their pets off leash. I will generally skip it if there are free roaming dogs. Too many variables, and I'd hate for any animal to get or cause any hurt. I am available for Hosting, Walks, or sit-ins.

“Literally, Amber is a life saver. I needed a last minute pet sitter & she was a perfect sitter for my boy Smokey. He’s on three different types of medication twice a day and she was on it! Updated pictures & spent quality time with Smokey. 10/10 recommend, she even left a sweet card, checked on me when I returned home, and some snack for her new furry bff.”

“TY is amazing! Extremely responsive, took lots of great pictures, and our dog Bruce loves her. Recommend!”

About: I have worked with pets for almost my whole life now. As a kid and into my adult life i have brought home stays bathed them and posted them for adoption. If theres any way for me to help a fury friend in need I will. Most of my care taking has been freelance work but I have volunteered in a adoption shop, with both of these two ways of caring for animals I have picked up skills and tricks to help out animals specially those who have fear due to traumatic experiences. Patience is Key. **I have more detailed info on how I’ve cared for pets in the past as well as photos of them. IG: _dogwalkin_lulu_ :) I have a part time jobs but have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. Both of my jobs start off mid day and end pretty early I can make accommodations. I believe pets are most comfortable to be taken care of in their own home where they feel most safe and free. 3 times a day be walked around the area or in their own back yard and occasionally visit public parks for other pet interaction. If in the case your pet needs overnight stays I will be available for night stays (extra cost).

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life! Growing up my parents had dogs before I was even born. From this I knew since a young age how to properly take care of animals. Just look at my pictures! We’ve raised everything from playful pups to sleepy senior dogs. From loyal German Shepherds to my cute little Poodle, I’ve loved them all. Oh and we didn’t stop at dogs! At one point we had 9 animals at home. Six chickens, a Poodle, a German Shepherd, and a yellow Parakeet! Caring for animals is just second nature to me. I love making pets feel happy and safe. Whether that means tossing a ball, giving ear scratches, or just sitting quietly beside them. I work temporary assignments, which gives me flexibility. My most reliable availability is Friday through Sunday, but I’m happy to coordinate in advance for other days when possible. My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I try to stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s mealtime, walk schedules, or playtime, so they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always aim to leave things just as I found them. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel at ease while you're away.

“Marissa is so responsive and attentive to our cats’ needs and habits. Thanks again for looking after them and putting us at ease during our last-minute trip!”

“Here is a polished version with no em dashes, keeping it warm, clear, and sincere: Emily is an incredible Rover! She stepped in to care for my cat at the last minute and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed my care instructions closely and sent detailed updates about how my cat was doing. She also took the cutest and most reassuring photos, which made me feel even better haha. It’s no surprise my cat warmed up to her so quickly. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs with the love and compassion unmatched by others. I’ve also been taken care of dogs of every age, size, and breed. Lead with love and not fear. I’m currently working from home and control my own schedule. I take zoom calls but never have to be on for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced yard. A three floor home with plenty of space for all types of dogs. No other pets on my property so your pet will have my full attention.

About: I am always ready to meet a new animal and friend. I think it comes from being an only child. I have spent time caring for different pets, older folk, kids, and people that need just a little extra help. I am a recent graduate free-lancing in film production at the moment so looking for activities to keep me busy while meeting new people and animals. I am incredibly flexible and can commute to essentially everywhere in the LA area. I am a rule follower and am eager to build a rapport with clients. After all, these are your babies and I will follow every step of care to ensure a trusting relationship with you and your pet!

About: Growing up surrounded by many different pets, I've developed a lifelong love and understanding of animals. My family had dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, turtles, and more, each teaching me unique lessons in pet care. When I was 16, we adopted an adorable dog from the shelter, and I took on the responsibility of training, teaching, and loving him the most. This experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. In recent years, I've often been entrusted with cat-sitting for family friends while they travel, ensuring their furry friends are well-cared for and happy in their absence. With my extensive experience and genuine love for animals, I’m committed to providing the best care for your best friend. As I figure out the next steps in my career, I have plenty of time to spend on pet care. I prioritize feeding, walking, and playing with pets throughout the day, adapting to their needs and ensuring they stay active and happy. This dedicated time allows me to provide personalized attention and build strong bonds with each pet I care for. When caring for pets, I provide dedicated and personalized service tailored to their needs and preferences. As a dog walker, I ensure that dogs get the exercise they need, including running for larger breeds who thrive on vigorous activity. I maintain a keen eye on their safety and enjoyment during walks, always prioritizing their well-being. Beyond physical activity, I understand the importance of companionship and affection. I gladly offer cuddles and affection to pets that enjoy it, fostering a bond of trust and comfort. This nurturing approach extends to all animals under my care, ensuring they feel secure and loved in their environment. I also make sure to stick to routines and instructions provided by pet owners, ensuring consistency and comfort for the pets. Whether it's following specific feeding schedules or engaging in playtime, I maintain clear communication with clients to meet their pets' unique needs effectively. My commitment to quality care, coupled with a genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet receives the attention and affection they deserve.

About: I understand what it takes to take care of pets in every way. I also take direction well, and cater to each individual pet's needs. I'm a freelancer, so I will able to work as long as you hire me. I'm also punctual, so you can count on me to keep time. Just let me know what's required of me to take care of your pet in your residence, and I will do it. I'll make the services provided the best I can provide!
