House Sitting in Whittier

“We had a wonderful experience with Christina and her family! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of our pets. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We would absolutely book again!”

About: Hello, I am Christine, a passionate animal lover and experienced dog owner with a strong background in animal behavior and pet care. I have extensive experience training and caring for dogs, including a 16-year-old yellow Labrador retriever who sadly passed away in February 2023. Additionally, I've fostered and adopted several dogs through both Labrador Retriever Resce and local Boxer Rescue groups. I married my soulmate in 2023 and shortly after adopted our now 2+ year old Labrador from a local rescue group. In addition to my personal experience, I have also worked with and volunteered for a local SPCA, fostering dozens of dogs and offering in-home pet sitting services. I am committed to providing the highest quality care for your pets and am happy to provide references upon request. I'm currently focusing all of my time on caring for our 6 month old pup and caring for your pup as well! Either in your home or mine! We have a 6 foot, fully fenced in safe and secured back yard. We have a 48" pool for cooling off in during the hotter months and lots of interactive toys to keep them occupied as well!

“Marylin is EXTRAORDINARY! My animals absolutely love her! She took such good care of our fur babies! And our dogs are not the easiest yet she was so communicative and patient it seemed to be a walk in the park for her which brought my husband and I so much peace! It’s not just the quality of communication and the state our animals that were kept in - it’s also OUR HOME! It was left absolutely spotless and we’ve never ever had that and that has been a huge problem for me in the past where dog sitters would treat my home like an Airbnb but Marylin oh my goodness! She took time, effort and care to make my home spotless (she even cleaned out my vacuum cleaner like WHAT!!!!!!) I cannot express my gratitude being a clean person and coming home late from a stressful trip to seeing my home cleaner than when I left it! It’s just the whole package in what I would say is the worlds best dog sitter! I will be inviting her over for dinner and having her stay many more times if not forever from now as Marylin is definitely our only dog sitter going forward! I would recommend Marylin to EVERYONE!!!!! But also we will definitely be taking up most of her time because she is now family❤️ Marylin, we cannot thank you enough! You gave us the BEST dog sitting experience truly thank you so so much! Excited for you to come back!”

About: I'm an experienced dog owner and dog sitter that will take the time to learn your dog personality, routine and needs so your dog feels safe, comfortable and loved while you are away. I have open availability and plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I structure my day to ensure consistent feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, and any specific care routines each pet requires. I’m intentional about not overbooking, so I can give each pet plenty of attention and not rush visits. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I stay flexible and organized to match your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any house rules. I’m mindful of keeping doors, gates, and food secured at all times, and I always double-check locks and entry points for safety. I also keep your home clean and respected, just as you left it. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-safe environment that’s free of hazards and set up for comfort. Pets have space to relax, play, and rest, and I monitor interactions closely to ensure everyone feels safe. I introduce new environments gradually and always supervise during adjustment periods. In both settings, I prioritize supervision, positive reinforcement, and gentle handling. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly to any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: More Than Just a Sitter — A Trusted Companion I don’t just watch your pets; I bond with them! Whether it's keeping up with high-energy pups, helping with basic training, or providing gentle care for seniors, I ensure each pet gets personalized attention and love. Caring for pets brings me joy. My adaptable schedule means I can provide companionship, walks, and care throughout the week, tailored to your pet’s needs. Safety and trust come first. I provide a secure, loving environment, respecting routines and ensuring your pet feels at ease and truly cared for while under my supervision.

About: I’ve been surrounded by furry friends since I was young. I’m trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets while they travel or figure out life changes. I’m diligent about brushing, cleaning and snuggling-whatever your pup needs, I’m on it! I currently work full time from 9AM-5PM on a four day schedule. In the early morning’s and evenings I am available for walks, play time, training reinforcement, as well as clean up and any additional help needed while you’re away. During the weekends- I’m available all day Saturday-Mondays for walks and plenty of enrichment time! I have a highly energetic dog to keep your pet company! If your pet does not do well with other animals, I am happy to accommodate as needed. With plenty of parks and hikes in the area, I can assure you we’ll take plenty of walks. I will crate your pet if needed for their own safety.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and breeds. I have cared for many dogs and cats over 20 years. I would be honored to sit or care for your fur/fur-less babies! I am available Mon-Thurs without exceptions. Fri, Sat & Sun I can be available with my profession exceptions. Very flexible and open to your needs. I will come to your home to care for your pet in their comfort zone. No need to disturb their routine. Responsible, reliable and honored to care for your family member.

“Heather was amazing with our boy Kody! She played with him bunches and took him out on several walks. She sent us lots of lovely pictures and videos. She was also very accommodating and was willing to get a visitors pass for the weekend so she could watch our boy since we live on the military base. I would highly recommend her 😊 thanks Heather!”

“Lane was fabulous! Kept in touch with updates and photos of our fur babies and it was apparent they were content. I would definitely use her the next time we need a pet sitter.”

About: I've worked with big cats, primates, reptiles, and just about anything you can imagine when I used to work as Lead Caretaker at an animal sanctuary in Citrus County, FL. I was in charge of feeding, cleaning, enhancement, and food inventory. I then spent many years in Panama, where I volunteered for "Amigos de los Animales," a charity organization that holds a monthly spay and neuter clinic. There, I supported veterinarians and helped monitor and revive dogs and cats after their procedures. I have always had dogs, cats, and birds in my life—all rescues. I have helped my furry kids through epilepsy, congestive heart failure, eye issues, crippling arthritis, behavioral problems, end-of-life care, and cancer. They are all over the rainbow bridge now and I miss them deeply. Medicating, wound care, and grooming are second nature to me. Since, I've relocated back to Florida and have begun housesitting and petsitting. I have my own freelance digital marketing business, so I can work from anywhere and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very neat and clean person who will be available 24/7 for your pet/s. Animals are my favorite people. I am a digital nomad who works from anywhere and am extremely flexible with my schedule. Just a quiet space to work, decent internet, and some furry company is perfect for me. I care for pets as if they are my own. I also understand pets who need space or time to develop trust. I'm especially good with problem animals, large animals, and those who need extra care—like senior pets or those with health issues. For those guys who need a good run, I love to exercise outdoors.

About: Ive had plenty of dogs in my life and as of right now I have 3 of my own I would like to think that I am better with dogs then people lol . I work for a boarding kennel and I have my own pet sitting business, so I am very familiar with dogs. I read them very well and understand them also, I love them. pet care fits right into my daily schedule because that is all that I do all day every day mornings , nights , weekends, you name it. it all depends on who I am watching and what my clients prefer if they prefer walks then I walk them if they prefer to let them out into the yards I do that I’m very familiar with both.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since i was 11 not afraid of any dog breed. And I want to be able to go to school to be a certified dog trainer I currently have a part time job but being around animals has always been my passion and can’t help myself. I wish I had a house of my own to train and board dogs I have my own house now I have a new Frenchie puppy that I got last week. I love her to death. I care for her deeply and I’m also about to pay for her training.

“Melanie did a great job with all of our pets! Even working a full time job they still had plenty of love and attention!”

“Alyssa did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my three dogs while I was away. Each of them has their own unique needs — different medications, diets, and routines — and she managed everything perfectly without any issues. It was clear from the moment I returned that they were happy, healthy, and well cared for. My house was just as clean and tidy as when I left, which really shows how responsible and respectful she is. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved her — they were calm, content, and clearly bonded with her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely hire Alyssa again the next time I travel and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“She was an absolute professional and experienced dog sitter and was able to accommodate everything that we needed.If i'm ever back in this area, I will definitely use her again. My dog absolutely loved her, and got along with her right away. ❤️”
