Professional Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Services
Pawsitive Pet Care was founded in 2012 with a mission to provide exceptional pet care that mirrors the love and dedication of an extended family member. Our owner, Kristen Earhart, brings over a decade of professional experience and a deep passion for animal welfare, having cared for pets in military communities and transitioned from finance to pet care full-time. We specialize in certified, bonded, and insured dog walking, cat visits, and overnight pet sitting services, with a particular focus on seniors and special needs animals. Our team maintains rigorous professional standards through ongoing education, pet CPR certification, and adherence to strict care protocols. We prioritize personalized service, requiring free Meet & Greet consultations to fully understand each pet's unique needs and routines.Our commitment to transparency includes GPS-verified walks, detailed visit reports via our Time To Pet app, and 24/7 communication with pet owners. We differentiate ourselves from hobbyist providers by maintaining professional certifications, implementing clear service contracts, and offering comprehensive emergency response capabilities. Our small team structure ensures consistent caregiver relationships while maintaining the highest standards of reliability and care quality. We serve Los Alamitos, Lakewood, Cypress, and surrounding areas with a proven track record of 5-star reviews and client testimonials. Our operational excellence combines the warmth of personal connection with the professionalism of certified pet care experts.
