   IN HOME PET SITTING

In-home care is a great alternative to day /night care facilities. I stay in your home with your pets, so they’re able to maintain a normal schedule, sleep in their own beds, and receive one-on-one attention from a true animal lover.  An additional benefit of in-home pet sitting is that people (or lurkers) can see that your home is occupied. The lights are on and someone is home! Your space will always be treated respectfully, and you’ll return to a home that is at least as clean as you left it, with laundered towels and sheets.

24-hr care includes:

  •  Dog Walking

  •  Meals & Meds

  •  Endless Affection

  •  Mail Retrieval

  •  Plants Watered

  •  Trash /Recycling Bins In & Out

  •  Home Deliveries & Service Calls

ANIMAL MASSAGE THERAPY

Does your elderly dog have a difficult time getting up off the floor, or going up and down stairs? Is your furry friend anxious, nervous, hyperactive, restless, depressed? Do they have an injury that isn’t healing as quickly as it should? Dogs benefit from massage in all the same ways people do!

Massage eases pain, stress, and tension, increases oxygen flow and range of motion, improves circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, encourages restoration, cultivates trust and bonding, flushes out toxins, reduces anxiety and fear, improves digestion, and much, much more. It’s not just a treat for your beloved pet, it’s legitimate health care.

Testimonials

Molly is, hands down, the best pet-sitter my family has ever hired. Our pet-sitting needs have not been easy. Molly has taken wonderful care of our gigantic Irish Wolfhound. Believe me, that is no small feat. Just last month she also had to care for our terminally ill kitty. Molly gave her her medicine and kept a close watch on her, routinely updating us on her condition. I love that Molly keeps in touch to let us know how things are going. She also takes impeccable care of our home. I feel at complete ease knowing that Molly will be lovingly tending to our furry family, and our home. She is also a total pleasure to work with. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
— Jacqueline, Echo Park
Two words come to mind when my wife and I think about Molly: above and beyond. Molly is a consummate professional and it shows through her care. We can rest easy knowing our fur-babies are taken care of when we are away.
— Jeremy, Burbank
Molly is the FREAKING. BEST. Not only does she treat your home as if it’s her own and leave it in wonderful shape, your dogs will ADORE her. We’ve got 2 large hounds (75 and 95 lbs), so it’s quite a handful to manage these knuckleheads - she does it with ease, humor and love. We’ve used her for at least 3 different trips now, up to 10 days gone, and our boys get so excited and wiggly when they see her that it makes leaving so much easier and relaxed, knowing they’re being cared for someone they love and who cares deeply for them. They have pretty particular feeding habits as well, and during one trip, one of our boys needed meds 3 times a day - Molly didn’t bat an eye, and even sent us pictures to confirm medication dosages and food prep, to put us at ease. Not to mention the pix she sends of them just being goofy with her while we’re away... We really can’t recommend Molly highly enough, and promise that you’ll rest easy on your trip knowing that your fur babies are in the best possible hands.

— Caitlin & Mark, Van Nuys
Whenever we travel, we have such peace of mind leaving our fur baby Moonee behind because we know she will be enveloped with love and attention by her buddy Molly. Molly is attentive, responsible, a strong communicator, and has confidence in her instincts as a skilled animal caregiver. We would recommend her to any of our family members or friends.
— Catie, Los Feliz
I was concerned leaving my dog Charlie with anybody because he is an older dog and used to his own home and ways, but when I went to pick him up from Molly’s, he didn’t want to leave! Now I have total peace of mind leaving him with Molly, who cares for him (maybe better than me) and truly loves him. I can’t recommend Molly strongly enough for all your doggie needs.
— Brian, Miracle Mile
Molly is a great caretaker for my dog Grace while I’m out of town. She is super conscientious and dog-loving, and I know Molly will also always go beyond the extra mile, for whatever my dog needs. Grace goes bananas every time Molly comes to visit and we are so grateful for her doggy-care and thoughtful help!
— Cam, Silverlake
 

About Me

I think we all agree… dogs rock. My beloved beagle, Jake, died in 2014. Still grieving, and not yet ready for a new companion, I began dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances. Having worked as a personal & executive assistant to top tier clients for over a decade, my discretion, versatility, and trustworthiness were well established, and a good fit for work which brings me into peoples’ homes. And it turns out, it wasn’t just my dog… they’re ALL awesome! This compelled me to learn Small Animal First Aid and CPR/Rescue Breathing Training, and then to become a certified Small Animal Massage Therapist. I am looking into new ways to further my canine education beyond this, as I believe that we have only scratched the surface of what can be learned from dogs. Their relationships to each other, to other animals, and to us, are undervalued and underutilized. I endeavor to be part of this exploration.
