Cat Sitting Ballena

About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between! Over the years, I’ve helped walk and care for dogs for many different families, including first responders and nurses with long or unpredictable work hours. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs, and my active lifestyle means your dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playful energy. I treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends! I am a senior college student at Biola University studying to get my bachelors in nursing. Currently, I am home for the summer looking to further my experience in the pet sitting business. My scheduling gives me lots of flexibility and opportunities to take care of your furry friends whenever possible. I am a very outdoorsy person and you will often find me outside enjoying sunshine by running or hiking with my dogs. Whether it’s a long walk or some playtime in the park, it’s a great way to keep your pets happy and healthy. I believe it is necessary to respect your home and maintain your pet's routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, to minimize stress. I send pictures and text updates ensuring you are well informed and aware of your pups activity. Additionally, I personalize each pet's playtime. Whether it’s extra cuddles for a shy pup or more active playtime for an energetic one, I know it is important for the well being and safety of each dog to be aware of their personal needs and preferences.

“Thank you for playing with the girls during our work days, it’s the relief that they need. Thank you for taking care of them and the very detailed cards.”

“Kylie was so helpful while we were away. She really made our trip so much more relaxed knowing our pups were in good hands”

“Jennilee was a great help. She took care of our two dogs and one cat for an evening feeding and playtime for a one-week period. She stepped in last-minute and did a great job with pets and a house she didn’t know. Thanks, Jennilee!!”

“I highly recommend Jennifer to help with your pets. we had to go to the east coast recently and was a bit nervous just having our older cat boarded. Jennifer, came twice a day to care for our cat providing updates and her status as well as pictures. We were able to keep our cat in our home and our cat was much better off for it.”

About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.

“Paris is so great with our dogs and very communicative! She provided a lot of updates and details to ensure our dogs feel taken care of.”

About: Hello! I’m a sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!

“Anna was great. The kitties took to her right away. I am very particular about who I will leave them with and she makes me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!”

About: I am an animal guy with experience watching many kinds of dogs and cats. I own two pugs one of which is a senior dog and the other a puppy. I have experience with breeding and raising dogs. I love big dogs and small dogs and all dogs in between. I am comfortable around deaf dogs and all dogs with special needs. I am disabled so your pet would be my only priority. I work around my wife's schedule but she only works 3 days a week. Your animal is very special and deserves to be cared for in their home environment. I can play, sit and read or watch TV with your pet. Anything you desire. Short walks for small dogs only as I am disabled, no large dog walks I'm sorry it's a physical safety concern.

“Bruce was prompt and took great care of. Charlie. Will definitely be using him in the future. Thanks Bruce !!”

“Heather was amazing! She took such great care of my four cats and I’m so appreciative of her and how she figured out each of their personalities. She gave each one attention and even won over my stoic boy. Heather sent lots of pics/videos and messages such as: “Yes, Boba and I are besties now🤣” and “Someone is refusing to let me leave🤣.” Five star rating for sure!”

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats. I currently have a Belgian Malinois/Shepard mix, a goldendoodle, and a mini poodle.

About: Hi my name is Dani and I am 28 years old. I am currently looking to make a little extra money while I finish up grad school to become a physical therapist!! I have an extensive amount of experience working with pets, including dogs, cats, bunnies, goats, etc. In regards to dogs, I am willing to take care of all sizes, breeds and ages. I have watched dogs that ranged from 6lbs to 100+lbs. I am highly active and can wear your pet out if need be! I typically like to stick to a strict routine as far as feeding schedules and daily walks go. On a day to day basis, I take my dog out 2-3 times a day and will gladly do the same for yours! I will love your pet as my own. My two baby boys at home are Sage and Kavik! Kavik is the most handsome 13 year old Husky and Sage is a 1.5 year old black cat (the best cat you’ll ever meet). My babies are my entire world. I consider myself to be very reliable and hope others would say the same. If you are looking for casual day drop ins or an overnight stay I am here for you :) I am currently on break until the end of August! I will be out of town for some of the weekends, but besides that my schedule is open. I have two pets at home and am unable to board. I typically stay at other people's houses and am more than comfortable doing so! I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and given plenty of love (probably too much at times).
