How Burbank Pet Sitting Attracts the Best Pet Care Professionals

Natalia Glady, Burbank Pet Sitting LLC

When you trust someone with your home and your pets, experience, reliability, and professionalism matter. At Burbank Pet Sitting, the quality of care we provide starts with the quality of the people we hire. While many pet care services rely on gig-based apps or independent contractors with limited oversight, we take a different approach—one that prioritizes people, professionalism, and community investment.

Here’s how Burbank Pet Sitting attracts and retains the best pet care service providers in the Burbank area—and why that directly benefits you and your pets.

1. We Treat Pet Care as a Profession, Not a Side Hustle

At Burbank Pet Sitting, pet care is not an afterthought or a temporary gig. We are intentional about building a team of professionals who view pet sitting and dog walking as meaningful, responsible work.

Our service providers are:

• Carefully vetted and background-checked

• Trained to follow clear standards and protocols

• Supported with ongoing guidance and communication

  
  

By setting high expectations and providing structure, we attract individuals who are serious about providing excellent care—not just picking up shifts.

2. We Hire Locally and Invest in the Burbank Community

One of our core values is community investment. Burbank Pet Sitting intentionally hires from within the local community. This creates consistency, accountability, and a stronger connection between our team and the neighborhoods we serve.

Hiring locally allows us to:

• Create jobs within Burbank

• Reduce turnover and last-minute cancellations

• Ensure sitters understand the area, homes, and client expectations

  
  

When pet care professionals feel connected to their community, they are more invested in the quality of care they provide.

3. Fair Pay and Respect Drive Retention

High turnover is common in app-based pet care services—and it often leads to inconsistent care for clients. We believe retention starts with respect.

Burbank Pet Sitting focuses on:

• Fair and transparent compensation

• Clear scheduling and expectations

• Treating sitters as valued team members, not disposable contractors

  
  

When caregivers feel respected and supported, they stay—and that continuity matters for pets who thrive on routine and familiarity.

4. Experience and Expertise Matter to Us

With over 22 years of pet care experience and certifications in Pet CPR and First Aid, Burbank Pet Sitting understands that not all pets are the same. We look for caregivers who are confident, observant, and capable of handling a wide range of situations—from high-energy dogs to seniors and pets with special needs.

This emphasis on experience ensures that:

• Pets receive informed, attentive care

• Issues are identified early and handled appropriately

• Clients can travel with confidence and peace of mind

  
  

5. Leadership Rooted in Education and Trust

Burbank Pet Sitting is founded and led by a former public school educator and leader. That background influences how we build systems, train people, and maintain accountability.

Education-based leadership means:

• Clear communication and expectations

• Ongoing learning and improvement

• A strong ethical foundation centered on trust and responsibility

  
  

This leadership style creates a stable environment where both clients and caregivers feel supported.

Why This Matters for Pet Parents

Attracting and retaining the best pet care professionals isn’t just good for our business—it’s essential for your pet’s well-being.

When sitters stay with us long-term, your pets benefit from:

• Familiar, consistent caregivers

• Stronger bonds and reduced stress

• Reliable service you can count on

  
  

It also means fewer surprises, better communication, and a higher standard of care overall.

A Better Model for Pet Care

Burbank Pet Sitting was built to offer an alternative to impersonal pet care apps—one rooted in professionalism, community, and long-term relationships. By investing in our team, we ensure that every client receives the dependable, high-quality care they deserve.

If you’re looking for pet care that values people as much as pets, we’d love to work with you.
