Pet Sitting West Park

About: Hi, I’m Galina! Animals have been the biggest passion through out my life. I currently have one small dog named Pockets but I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and with cats too! I am a part time dance teacher for children and love to spend the rest of my time caring for animals. I offer house sittings, walks, and drop in feedings & play time. I fully ensure your loved fur babies are always safe in my care and handled appropriately around any other animals. I make sure they're walked, get LOTS of one on one play time, treats (as appropriate), and as much love and belly rubs as they can take! As a dog parent myself, I love photos of my pets and always send photos and updates for you to put your mind at ease while you are away from your pets. I am happy to watch your pets in your home or in mine. When I pet sit or do walks/check ins at your house, I am always responsible and clean, leaving your home neat, tidy, and cleaner than when you left! Also happy to offer plant watering, mail pick up, or anything else you need when I'm at your home, even if it's just a drop in visit. I treat your pets like they are my own because I love all animals!! I'll make sure they feel they have a new best friend, lots of play time, endless attention, and the safest care. I work part time as a dance teacher for children and the rest of my time is spent caring for animals and hanging out with my pup! I always make sure each pet is given a lot of love and all instructions for each pet is carefully followed. I’m always aware of each pet’s surrounding to make sure they are comfortable and safe.

“Sahba was great, he kept me updated with photos and took such good care of Milo. I really appreciated how natural and attentive he was. Highly recommend!!”

“Brooke is dependable and is great with our two large dogs! It’s nice to know Maggie and Jett are in good hands when we will be away for the evening.”

“Irene is fantastic. She was very patient with our large 95 lb dog, who is gentle but shy with new people. She formed a nice bond with her, and was extremely reliable and always communicated and verified the drop-ins, as they changed every week over our 10 week period. Irene takes great pictures and provides excellent reports. She does not hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern during her drop ins. We are looking forward to having Irene visit our girl again.”

“I got lucky when I found Lauren. She definitely understands and is very knowledgeable about cats. She took amazing care of my cats. She sent me updates daily and even took a picture of one of my cats. In addition, she brought in my trash cans which I left out before leaving for my trip. If you're looking for someone who knows a lot about cats, takes very good care of your cat(s) and provides daily updates, I highly recommend Lauren. She is very good, reliable, and trustoworthy. I won't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life! Even though my own dogs have passed away a few years ago, my love for dogs has never changed. Since then, I’ve regularly taken care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their families went on vacation. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I’ll provide patient, reliable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages for your peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays with flexible scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“I needed someone to play with my super energetic cat (Skooma) while I have to be away. Skooma loves her and follows her around during her visits. My old, grouchy cat (Bidoof) usually hides when people come in but she seems to stay visible when Victoria is around which is an amazing thing for Bidoof. We love Victoria! She is super nice and accommodating, even when I needed to add a last minute day to her visiting schedule. 💖”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.

About: I have taken care of my sister's dogs since they were puppies, training, daily walking, feeding on a set schedule and administering medication when they were recovering from neuter/spay surgeries. Now I have my own cat who is two years old. There is nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for them, and the same applies to your pets :) I'm a part-time employee on summer break from college at the moment, so I have plenty of time for walks, play time or whatever else your pet needs! I currently help my sister take care of her dogs, I help take them on walks and I feed them and play with them. When I am not taking care of my sister's dogs I have my cat Oliver at home who I love to cuddle and play with, and I am consistent with taking out his litter every day and making sure that he has plenty of food and water in his gravity feeder.

“This is our second time having Irina take care of our cat and both my cat and we love her so much! She not only followed our instructions feeding my cat and playing with him but she also cleaned up his food bowl and left our kitchen clean. Will definitely have her come again.”

“Randi was amazing. I met her on a shorter notice but she was very willing to help. I have a few cats who are a little more nervous around strangers, but when she entered my house, they all warmed up to her immediately. Not a common occurrence. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip. Would 100% hire again!”

Katarina J.

“Marcelle did amazing with Cokie! I was out of town for a few days and she kept me updated every visit and made sure Cokie was fed and happy! Will 100% recommend!!”

“Rachel has been absolutely amazing! I have such a hard time leaving my pup, but I was stress free this wedding weekend while I got married because Rachel has been so nice and sweet & kept us updated constantly ! Thank you Rachel!”

Christine J.

“Sonomi was so wonderful with our dog! She was so attentive to his needs on all her visits and walks, and always updated us with pictures and videos each day. Will definitely have Somomi walk him again in the future :)”

About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family for around a decade, please see the reviews that a couple of them have written. My friends and family would also tell you, I’m the type of person that immediately flocks to pet and hang out with the dog or cat at the house we’re at! I’ve owned or lived with a pet almost my entire life as well. I know how pets truly become part of the family and how important it is to find a trusted sitter. I’ve cared for a variety of sizes, breeds, and ages. I’ve cared for senior dogs with special needs and I know how to administer pills as well. My goal is always to keep them happy and healthy. Please know that I will be a responsible and loving caretaker and pal to your furry friend when you are away. I work full time but am only in office Tuesdays and Thursdays in Huntington Beach. I am only available to check in on pets before 8:30am and after 5pm for those days. Otherwise, I work from home and have much more flexibility for check-ins on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I don’t work on the weekends so I am open then as well. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets in their own home and for walks! I make sure to complete each necessary step for their care and ask questions to pet parents if necessary. I pay attention to doors not being left open (we wouldn’t want any escapees!) and I am sure to lock the door when leaving.

“So thankful for Mary! The pups love her!”

“Charlene is great, punctual, and loving. My dog Max enjoyed her visits and was well cared for.”

About: Apart from growing up with dogs and cats, I’ve been trusted since high school to dog sit, dog walk, cat sit, do animal related chores, and much more! I even work with a facility dog for my 9-5 job! I can assure you that your furry (or non-furry) friends are safe with me! 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my walking and drop-in services start right after 6:00 PM onwards. If your pet needs evening companionship, a late-day walk, or bedtime potty breaks, I am your person! I am typically available all day on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Feel free to look at my calendar for more details or send me a message! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. Crate trained, free-roaming, etc! I can do feeding time, potty breaks, play time, and walks around the neighborhood.
