Dog Sitters

We use Ketty Cetterio when we go on vacation, and some other folks in the neighborhood do as well now. She's super! Ketty lives off of Lake above Altadena Dr. http://www.werpawpeople.com/

------------------

"I Stay U Go" took care of our two dogs in the past.
They actually walk the dog and take time w them.
Plus Hilma is a vet tech and has experience w care/
They seem more pricey than before-maybe negotiable?
They are reliable.

-----------------

Yay! Something I can give you a referral on! We use Ketty Citterio from We R Paw People http://www.werpawpeople.com/ABOUT%20US.htm You may already know about her, but she’s been the best pet sitter we’ve ever had in the last 17 years we’ve used pet sitters. We first used her when we went into labor and we gave birth at UCLA. We had her “on alert” as I was in labor and it was great not to have to worry about the fur kids.

The office manager for Arbi Derian (chiropractor and Phoenix Fitness gym manager), who is also one of the trainers at Phoenix Fitness does both house sitting and dog walking. Super responsible.

Handyman

Donny Bouchard- Perfection Home Flooring 818-631-3097. He has a showroom in Pasadena where you can see samples of his work. Erasmo Mendieta 626-794-2308 Hard working, honest and charges a very fair price. Alejandro is my handyman for a long time, his telephone is 683-3007. Plumber Steve Tietz or anyone at Benedict - 626-795-5881 I would definitely not call Benedict's cheap, but Steve's work has always been highest

quality, which in the end is cheapest. They have graciously fixed any minor problems we have had with more junior people, and we've had no major problems.

Rob Collins- RJ Collins 626 305-0075 Located in Monrovia - ethical, fair, fast, reliable, reasonable. I have left he and any of his people alone in my house with no problems. I used him for the apartments in Altadena too - I can't say enough good things about him.
