Pet Sitting Brookside

About: Choosing who to leave your dog with is an important decision. We have a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in our home. We’re both retired and with no kids or pets, your dog will get 100% of our attention. We only host one family's dog at a time but we welcome multiple dogs if they come from the same household. We live on 37 wooded acres in the country, so there’s plenty of room for your dog to explore. We have trails where we can walk your dog on a leash and a fully fenced 1-acre yard for safe, supervised play or a snooze in the yard. Whether your dog is active or more laid back, they’ll have what they need in our home. Your dog will be included in whatever we’re doing inside, outside or around the property. They will have full access both inside and outside our home and be treated like part of our family. Throughout the day and evening they get a mix of supervised indoor and outdoor time, leashed walks on our wooded trails and play sessions with toys, balls and frisbees in the yard. We also make sure they have plenty of quiet time to rest and relax. Each dog's activity is adjusted based on their energy level and needs - whether they’re active and playful or prefer a more laid back routine. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NOTE: My standard Doggie Daycare rate includes up to 10-hours of fun and companionship for your dog. I’m always happy to accomodate a longer day. Daycare stays beyond 10-hours will include an add-on of $4 per hour to cover the additional care. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * $45 - up to 10 hours per day $49 - 10 to 11 hours per day $53 - 11 to 12 hours per day $57 - 12 to 13 hours per day Since we’re home all day, your dog won’t be left alone. We’ll follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, rest time and any specific care instructions. We want them to feel comfortable, secure and settled while they’re here.

“We never had any worries about our three kitties! She even got our shy kitty to start coming out regularly to greet her. Never thought I’d see that I would recommend Cathryn with no hesitation she rocks.”

About: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.

About: What sets me apart is my four years of hands-on experience working at a pet retreat, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different behaviors, temperaments, and individual needs. That experience has taught me how to read dogs, understand their body language, keep them safe and comfortable, and make sure they feel cared for while their people are away. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one happy, comfortable, and confident. Most importantly, I genuinely love what I do. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for while you’re apart. I work full-time during the week and decided to join Rover as a way to earn some extra money doing something I genuinely love — spending time with dogs! 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible around my work hours. I’m available on weekends, and during the week I’m available around my lunch break or after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Even though Rover is a side job for me, I take caring for your pets seriously and will always do my best to make sure they get the attention, care, and love they deserve! 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so I can keep things as familiar as possible while you’re away. 🐾 I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps your pet feel at ease. I also understand that some pets need lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quiet environment and some extra patience. With all of my experience working at a pet retreat, I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, personalities, and behaviors. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk or visit, my goal is always the same: to treat them like they’re my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️🐶

About: I have multiple years of experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, in a personal and a professional setting. I worked as a dog bather in a Petsmart and smaller salon in Thousand Oaks. I’m very loving and affectionate towards all animals and treat them with the same respect as I would a human. I have two of my own cats, and a bearded dragon so I work with animals daily and would treat your babies with the same love and patience as my own. I can do overnight stays, check ins, and walks after 6pm on the weekdays Monday- Friday and after 4pm on the weekends Sat, Sun. I have Mondays and Friday available all day! I cannot provide services in my home! I am willing to travel to dogs parks, go on hiking trails, transport the dog to vet/ grooming appointments, and provide in home services!

“Rebecca was a treasure! Both for me and my kitters. Pics, and even a video, from each visit, showed how much Zuko warmed up to her right away. Communication before and after was so helpful, since I'd never used a service such as this before. Rebecca's service is definitely a 5-star rating. I'll be calling on her again and again, as needed. Thank you so very much!! NS”

“Ashley is amazing, kind, understanding and patient. I would 100% hire her again in the future. Knowing she was there caring for my pet put my mind at ease while I was away.”

“Our pups are always happy to see Kimberly. She is dependable, an excellent communicator, and always goes above and beyond to take great care of our pups!”

About: I have a background in both education and dog training, so I focus heavily on structure, communication, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs that benefit from extra patience or routine. I’m CPR certified, experienced with enrichment-based care, and comfortable reinforcing basic training skills such as leash manners, recall, sit/down, place, and calm behavior during visits and walks. I also have experience with hunting and working breeds, so I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. What sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy building trust and relationships with the dogs I care for. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide reliable communication and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I intentionally keep openings in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and individualized care. I currently have availability most mornings, a few evenings, and select weekends which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible scheduling for clients. Because I prioritize quality care and reliability, I carefully manage my schedule to make sure each pet receives plenty of time, attention, exercise, and communication while in my care. believe every dog is different, so I focus heavily on each pet’s individual needs, personality, comfort level, and routine. Some dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, while others need a calmer environment, patience, or extra reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I take time to learn their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, training expectations, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I adjust my care style based on the individual dog rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for while maintaining as much consistency and routine as possible.

About: I am flexible, loving, and communicative. I’m punctual with schedules, feedings, walking, etc. and I will assure your fur babies have the time of their lives with me! I am often available morning and night, and have no problem commuting to offer help. My ample free time allows me to stop in and check up on your pets multiple times per day if necessary. I love to provide photo updates and texts to pet parents. Although I don't offer in-home care, I foster a loving environment in any client's home and with any pet I take care of. My love for animals is tangible!
