Cat Sitting Carpinteria

“Katherine is fantastic! Very communicative and I can tell she cares a lot about all of the animals she watches. My cat was upset that I was out of town but she did everything she could to help him be more comfortable. Thank you, Katherine, for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: I’m an animal person at heart, and I have learned a lot anout dog care in my 10 years of experience raising my own. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or mellow senior dog, I am able to gauge how much mental and physical stimulation they need in order to give them a fulfilling day of play and relaxation. I have an Australian Shepherd puppy myself, who I am very passionate about training. She loves to make new friends, so I definitely wouldn’t mind if another pup joined in on our training sessions! I work a fully remote job, so I am able to watch over pets as much as needed. I can offer daycare services from 6AM-10PM daily! I have a fenced backyard that I use for training sessions. I can take your dog on walks around the neighborhood, or if allowed, there is a nearby dog park where we go to play fetch. I have an extra dog bed and food/water bowls for your dog, but if you’d prefer they be crated for naptimes you can bring your own crate. I can follow your regular feeding schedule, and your dog will be fed separately from mine. The house and neighborhood are very quiet, so dogs who are sensitive to loud noises won’t need to worry.

“Courtney was great. I was gone for a week and she visited the cats, sent videos and pictures. Communication was great. I was very at ease knowing someone was visiting my fur kids!! I’ll definitely be using Courtney again when I’m on my next trips.”

“Sasha was great! Very communicative and even stopped by an extra time to ensure our cat was well looked after. Sent us pictures everyday! Hoping to have her sit for us in the future.”

“Jenna did a great job at our first meet / drop in and was so calm with our shy cats. She was able to help with our older cat’s oral meds and we will definitely hire her again!”

About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my family. I am a home body and enjoy watching over and protecting people's homes and beloved animals while they are away. I am always apprehensive leaving my pets alone with a stranger, that is why I strive to make people feel safe and comfortable. I have always been an animal person and have done pet-sitting as a favor to people. I figured, now as a nineteen year old, why not make it a nice little side hustle to earn some extra money for college. I live in Solvang California and I work a part time job on the weekdays. Other than that I can walk dogs, do drop in visits and I can stay in your house to watch over your animals. Each pet is unique, I appreciate when owners walk me through their routine, leave notes and emergency contact info, if anything were to happen. I want to make both the animals and owners comfortable, and like everyone to be on the same page. Communication is very valuable.

“I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I did some cat sitting while I was in undergrad and would like to continue cat sitting. I’ve always been comfortable around animals and would love to help with your cat and dog sitting needs. I work during the day but I am available in the afternoons and on the weekends! If you need an afternoon walk, or a housesit while you are out of town for the weekend, I’m your gal! I love spending time with animals, it’s usually slow at first while you gain their trust but I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t get to warm up to me. Spicy kitties included (although that might take a while and only get to a be in the same room basis)

About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.

“Noah was fantastic with our shy cats and coaxed our eldest boy out from hiding very quickly. We were gone for 12 days and returned to happy, healthy cats. Noah was friendly, professional, and responsive. I highly recommend him to care for your pets.”

“Jessica was great, warm energy and my dog Mango loves her. She took to her right away. Will def book with Jessica again when I’m in a pinch.”

Caitlin Z.

“Deandra was a great pet sitter for my senior 5 lb dog. I used her for extended drop ins two days in a row and she always came right as scheduled, checked in with me, and sent plenty of pictures and an update on my dog when she left. She gave my dog lots of love, treats, and outdoors time and he was happy and relaxed every time I came home after one of her visits. I’m so happy I found her and will be using her as a pet sitter going forward!”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every pet I meet. From cats and dogs to small mammals, birds, reptiles and even aquatic friends, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species, ensuring they receive the specialized care and attention they deserve. Until recently, I worked with a local animal rescue and it provided me with invaluable experience in animal welfare and behavior. I have honed my skills in feeding, administering medications, handling, and creating environments that promote comfort and well-being. Whether it's recognizing subtle signs of illness, engaging pets in stimulating activities, or simply offering companionship, I strive to make every animal feel safe and loved. Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's a lifelong commitment and passion. I excel at maintaining routines, reducing stress, and providing affection tailored to each pet's personality. Whether your furry, feathered, or finned companion needs playtime, a soothing presence, or diligent care while you're away, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and health. Let me bring my extensive experience and genuine love for animals to your home, offering peace of mind that your beloved pets are in compassionate and capable hands. I have made this my career. While my schedule can vary with personal appointments, I ensure that your family’s pets always remain my top priority. Although I’m unable to host pets in my home, I’m more than happy to travel to yours! Pets often cope better with their human’s absence when they stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment with regular routines. That being said, if you want me to stay with them overnight or if you want me to just drop in and check on them, I'm flexible!

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!

About: Hi! I’m Kesley — a lifelong dog lover with years of experience fostering and caring for pups of all ages, especially seniors. I’ve fostered dozens of dogs over the years, many needing extra patience, medication, and gentle companionship. I know how to spot the signs of discomfort, provide a calm presence, and make your dog feel safe and loved. Whether your dog is a playful pup or a slower-moving senior, I’ll follow their routine closely and treat them like one of my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you can travel worry-free. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles, freshwater/saltwater fish, and houseplants if you have other household needs while you’re away. 🕐 I live in downtown Ventura and work Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Santa Barbara, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your schedule. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your dog and learn how I can help! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life — I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals for years, so feeding, walking, cleaning, and giving attention is just part of my daily rhythm. I work weekdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., which gives me flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I love building pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and walking routines exactly as provided. I make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and calm companionship to reduce stress while their people are away. I also keep things tidy — cleaning up after pets, scooping litter, and sending regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I aim to make the experience as smooth and comforting as possible for both you and your furry family.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.

About: Caring for animals & the homes they live in is something I take seriously. For more than five years, my family & I have cared for dogs of every age & personality, from energetic puppies to senior companions needing gentle, attentive care. I work primarily from home as a consultant, allowing me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care while maintaining their normal routines. I’m an early riser who values consistency, so feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily rituals are followed carefully to help pets feel relaxed and secure. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same care, discretion, and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a peaceful home and a happy, well-cared-for pet, knowing everything was handled thoughtfully while you were away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence.

About: Like many people, I grew up with dogs my entire childhood and have continued to take care of other people's until I was finally able to have one of my own! He’s a sweet, fun-loving Golden who loves other dogs and people. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs, big and small. I welcome all breeds and creeds, I don't discriminate! I guess you could say I'm an expert doggie snuggler and pro pooper scooper. I’d be happy to walk, feed, play and stay with your dog at your home while you’re away. I can also welcome one well behaved dog for short stints in our own home. I’m available most days and have a very flexible schedule. Let's chat and see if I'm the right fit for your pooch! I’m currently working part time remotely so my schedule is extremely open and flexible. There are no time restrictions and I can be home with your dog the majority of the time. My husband and I have a fenced yard, and we never let the dogs roam free without being outside with them. I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: I have taken care of all types of pets since I was a child. i have been adopted by Oliver and Dozer (my rescuers) through KPAL -Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers. I have Oliver & Dozer a pair of bonded brothers. We are now in Carpinteria, CA and have joined an extended family of pets, Mia (a 12-year-old Sheppard mix, and Buddy an 8-month-old Sheppard mix). We are situated on a large property with plenty of room for our multiple daily walks. I am flexible and am able to work around almost any schedule. We can accommodate for almost any situation. let’s have a discussion and i will adjust my schedule to care for our four-legged friends. I live on 9 acres, and the dogs will stay with me and my rescuers (Oliver & Dozer) in addition to Mia and Buddy. I monitor them at all times. We also take long walks near the home, sometimes visit the dog park, or go to the beach, I live down the road from Padaro state beach in Carpinteria.

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I raised a 15-year-old Havanese from puppyhood through her senior years, and now share my life with Willow, my playful and social one-year-old cattle dog mix who absolutely loves having dog friends around. We live on a peaceful mountain property near Carpinteria with lots of outdoor space to explore. Our days are full but relaxed — usually a mix of time at home while I work on graduate school coursework, walks around the property, afternoon rest time, and beach outings or little adventures into town. I love matching each dog’s energy level — whether that means active hikes and play sessions or a slower-paced day with cozy naps and calm companionship. I’m currently in graduate school studying acupuncture, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. I have experience with training and behavior work, including helping raise a previously reactive rescue dog. While I have that background, I’m currently focused on hosting dogs who are comfortable social playmates for Willow, so I’m not taking reactive dogs at this time. Our home also includes chickens (securely enclosed), and I’m happy to accommodate pickups or coordinate logistics to make things easy. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment where your dog can enjoy outdoor adventures, companionship, and attentive care — I’d love to connect! As a graduate acupuncture student, I spend most of my days at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structured care. Our daily routine includes relaxed time at home, walks around our mountain property near Carpinteria, rest breaks, and beach or town outings depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m able to accommodate active dogs who love adventure as well as pups who prefer a slower, cozy pace. Because I’m home frequently, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, enrichment, and outdoor time throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a peaceful mountain property with plenty of outdoor space and a calm home environment. This property is unfenced. My dog Willow is a friendly, playful cattle dog mix who enjoys respectful dog companions. Dogs are supervised during interactions and introductions are done thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m experienced with training and behavior awareness, comfortable administering basic care, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Our chickens are securely enclosed. I provide regular photo/video updates and maintain clear communication so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
