Cat Sitting Carpinteria

About: Hello, I'm Clara! I'm a college senior home for the summer, looking to help out fellow pet owners. I've taken care of a myriad of pets, all with different personalities and temperaments, throughout my entire life (dogs, cats, chickens, horses, etc) I love working with animals, big or small, and will ensure the safety and happiness of your pets! I have complete availability, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them my full and undivided attention! In addition to walking your dogs around the neighborhood or playing in the yard, I can drive to many nearby walking routes. I live at home where we have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of both shade and sun. We have 2 friendly dogs and 2 rarely seen cats. The neighborhood is very walkable, and the beach is closeby!

About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty with Courtney! I know cats have a reputation for being independent but some (mine) still need plenty of attention while we’re away and I was glad to know Courtney understood gets it. Courtney was great, especially if you have a kitty that wants more during a visit than a full food bowl.”

“She did a great job taking care of our four cats. She proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Will use her again in the future.”

David P.

“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”

Katie C.

“Nicole was great and super communicative. I could tell my kitties were well cared for and I loved getting her pictures each visit. Thank you Nicole for loving on Franklin and Scout for us!”

Abigail F.

“Mike is very friendly and professional!! He watched my dogs for 4 days and made sure they were very well taken care of. One of the dogs is special needs (hearing) and everything went well with his care. Will book again.”

Alexander D.

“Sarah took excellent care of my dog. She gave us so much peace of mind on our trip and it was honestly like we never left. Our dog obviously had a wonderful few days of drop in care with Sarah and we will be contacting her again in the future for more care. Thank you, Sarah!”

Maggie P.

“Kathleen is an excellent pet sitter! She went above and beyond for us. We have a reactive dog and Kathleen was able to gain his trust and work with him. Additionally, our other dog broke out of her crate and Kathleen handled the (messy) situation expertly. All in all, Kathleen is incredibly accommodating, highly experienced, and down-right superb. We rate her a solid 10/10 and HIGHLY recommend her!”

Samantha N.

“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.

“Leanna and Julio took on the task of drop in/feeding for 3 very energetic and vocal dogs while we attended an event. All dogs looked happy in the photos we received, what more can we ask for! Thanks again guys!”

Andi C.

“Anna was wonderful with our Scout! It was her first time with our pup and she took such good care of him. He’s a reactive dog and she did a great job taking him out for his walk and then playing with him in our room. We will be scheduling with Anna again!”

Laura R.

“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’ve been around animals my entire life! I’ve had three dogs (german shepherd, pitbull, lab) and three cats. I have experience with very high energy, fun, loving dogs and it’s never to much.😉 Being around these animals for so long, I’ve gotten experience accommodating diet needs, medicinal needs, even surgery recovery. Any animal you can think of I’ve probably taken care of! I love my babies with everything in me and I’ll love yours just as much! I can wait to meet you and them! I’m available every day of the week! I can accommodate early mornings, late nights, whatever you need! I primarily work my current job in early afternoons but even that is open at times. I am always attentive and alert when taking care of another’s pet. Being that my dogs have gone through multiple surgeries I’ve learned to observe mannerisms to help and accommodate pets as best I can!

“Waverly was amazing! The perfect amount of communication, super reliable, and sent the best pics. She did everything we asked for each drop-in visit, we could tell our pup was in good hands. Will definitely be booking again for future pet sitting!!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My husband is the manager of a veterinary clinic and I am a certified dog trainer with an extensive history of working in the animal industry at pet stores, groomers, and ranches. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. I work from home and offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Working from home allows me all the time in the world to pamper my pups and our visiting guests, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.

“Julia is great with Peyton. She’s so kind and patient with him !! She’s a great find and I trust her to care for our fur-baby and love him as much as we do”

About: Hi, I’m Anne, a lifelong animal lover with over 50 years of experience caring for everything from family cats & neighborhood dogs to fish, & more. I bring calm, loving energy to every home I enter, & animals of all kinds tend to relax with me right away. I grew up in a home where pets were part of the family, & I’ve cared for an entire range of creatures. I’ve always been the person neighbors & friends trusted to look after their pets and their homes, even back in high school. Today, I’m mom to two beloved cats: 6-year-old Loki and 20-year-old Zuzu. Caring for pets at every stage of life has made me patient, intuitive, & attuned to the subtle needs of seniors, sensitive animals, & high energy pets who need movement & engagement. I love to move & to be out doors, especially with a canine sweetheart. I’m active & playful, so walks & outdoor time are always a joy, but I’m equally comfortable offering quiet companionship to shy, elderly, or anxious pets. I keep homes tidy, houseplants thriving, & communication clear & consistent while you’re away. Whether your family includes small sweethearts or large loves, I provide dependable care, gentle presence, and genuine love. My goal is simple: your pets feel safe, understood, & at home. I’d be honored to care for your animal family. 🐾💛 I work, primarily from home, & have much flexibility. I do a lot of writing. Movement outdoors & time away from the screen or project, gives me time to process, think, & refine my creativity, even when my attention is on the trail, my animal companion, or the ball that must be thrown. Movement is essential for me, so bringing a dog along, or stopping to take one for a walk, brings value to my day in more ways than it would appear. I have a few appointments during the week. None are longer than 2 hours. I attentive to the animals needs & can provide a safe environment for them to thrive. Whether it’s grooming, play, or loving attention that’s needed, I am there for them. I understand the importance of structure, safety gates, & schedules, especially whenever medication is involved.

“Cheryl is a terrific cat sitter. My cats warmed up to her immediately and she spent time playing with them and my finicky male even let her brush him and he loved it. She also left calming music in for them and it was so good to come home to relaxed kitties.”

Jane S.

“Flor was reliable, gave good updates, and was very attentive to our cats. She made suggestions on what else she could do to support our needs. Would highly recommend her and will book her for future services.”
