House Sitting Channel Islands Beach

“Sabrina is very sweet and took great care of our dog while we were gone! We loved getting pictures of him every day and our house was just as we left it. We don't travel often but would definitely want to use her again if we go somewhere! Definitely recommend Sabrina for anyone else.”

“Mallory took great care of the house and our animals. She’s great with animals and managed our hyper puppy well. Her communication was excellent. Thank you Mallory!”

About: I've cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life; dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and fish, to name a few. I raised my German Shepherd/Husky mix Misti from a puppy, handling potty training and basic commands. I also care for my senior cat, Sam, who is 12 years old! I love walks, hikes, play, nature, and enrichment. I even trained my cat to high five! Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I'm currently available full-time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or specific timing needs. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking all in your pet's own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow client routines closely and will provide updates throughout my visits. Your home and pet will be treated with care and respect.

“Carissa was quick to respond to our messages and super flexible when our schedule had to change. We are thankful for her help with our three fur babies. We will definitely be using her again ?”

“Cassie was amazing! It was our first time booking with her & she followed all instructions of care & sent daily updates with videos & pictures of our pups. She kept the house clean & respected our space. We plan to book with her for any following trips if available! 🤍”

“Alynette has been such a Godsend for us! We have a sweet but high maintenance boy that is anxious, aggressive and also has many health issues (which call for lots of feedings and meds thru out the day). She did an amazing job caring for him exactly as we would and in the many photos we received while we were away, we could see he was a very happy boy. In addition, she saved us by extending her stay w/no notice when we got stuck in Florida for several days due to Hurricane Ian. We look forward to booking her again and am sure Jack will miss her terribly once we return. ❤️”

Lou D.

“We will definitely hire Cynthia again. Our pets loved her and even our German Shepherd Guard dog accepted her into our home! All 3 of our pets liked her even our cat who doesn't like anyone!”

About: We’re a dog-loving household based who recently relocated to Ventura, we settled into a cozy ground-floor one-bedroom in a super walkable neighborhood near the college—perfect for easy strolls and outdoor time. Our pup Momo is now 4 years old, friendly, playful, and loves having new companions around. We have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we truly treat every pet like part of the family. I work remotely most of the week (in-office just 2 days), so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My husband and I share pet care responsibilities, which means flexible availability and consistent care every day of the week. We enjoy getting outside—whether it’s neighborhood walks, beach time, or weekend hikes—and we’re happy to include your dog in those adventures if it fits their routine and energy level. At home, we offer a safe, calm environment with lots of love, playtime, and structure. For care in your home, we’re attentive to your pet’s established routine and preferences, and can provide reliable visits throughout the day and week. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around for regular walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We build our daily schedule around making sure our guests get plenty of exercise, attention, and engagement. My husband and I share responsibilities, so your pet will have consistent care and companionship every day of the week. Safety and trust are our top priorities. In our home, we provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always on-leash, and we’re mindful of safe routes in our neighborhood. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow your routines and preferences closely—from feeding schedules to exercise, medications, and any special instructions. We’re respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. Communication is key for us, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Sage truly went above and beyond while pet sitting for our girl Penny over the week of Thanksgiving. We can't begin to express how happy we were. She took the time leading up to the trip to meet Penny, learn her schedule and mannerisms, what she liked and didn't like and it's clear they have a bond with one another. Over our trip Sage sent lots of videos, updates, and photos which we loved. Sage was very kind and accommodating for our senior girl and made her feel very calm and relaxed with us gone for the holidays. When questions came up, for example about Penny being a picky eater, Sage reached out in a very calm and professional manner to talk with us. She not only left our house as we left it, but cleaner! She took the time to pick up the guest room and do the laundry on her own accord. Sage is an amazing dog sitter and made us feel very comfortable being away from home knowing Penny was in good hands. She has nothing but our heartfelt thanks, admiration, and we'll continue to work with her for our future trips and walks where Penny needs someone we know we can trust.”

About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15, and I currently have two of my own, along with my mom’s dog, whom I care for on weekends. I’ve raised both my dogs and my mom’s dog from puppies, handling everything from potty training to managing resource guarding. My shelter dog presented a unique training challenge, but with patience and dedication, he’s become a wonderful companion. As the family’s go-to pet sitter, I manage pet care during vacations and offer boarding in my home. Working from home allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, ensuring your dog gets consistent supervision and affection. I work from home, so you can have peace of mind that your dog will be cared for all day. My working hours are from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, during which I can offer in-house boarding or doggy day care. I’m available after my working hours for dog walks and drop-in visits in Oxnard and Ventura, and can house sit within a 35-mile radius. I’m at home all day for my dogs, so your dog will also receive 24/7 care and attention. Our home is located in a gated community, offering an additional layer of security and peace of mind. Inside our home, we’ve installed gates that separate the main living area from the front door and garage, providing extra security to ensure our dogs are always safe and sound. We ask that all dogs be up-to-date on vaccines and on a flea & tick preventative to ensure the safety and health of all the pets in our home, including our two dogs. To make sure everyone gets along, we’ll arrange a meet & greet before any stay. This way, we can ensure your dog is comfortable with our pets, and everyone feels at ease.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life from Huskies and German Shepherds to Goldens, Great Pyrenees, and my current Chow (the sweetest girl ever!). I understand different temperaments, training needs, and energy levels, and I always match their vibe whether it’s a long walk by the beach or a cozy nap at home. Every pet I watch gets the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life — I start and end every day with walks, playtime, and cuddles with my own dog. I run my own business and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for like they’re my own. Safety and comfort always come first. I have a fully fenced backyard where pets can play freely and safely, and I live just a block from the beach perfect for daily walks, fresh air, and happy tails. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and part of the family. I keep routines consistent, double check gates and leashes, and give every pet the same care and attention I give my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, but developed a love for it at 12. I've cared for many dogs from friends and family throughout the years, including our family dog. I'm comfortable and familiar with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, bathing, giving meds, and giving lots of love and attention! I'm responsible, patient, and attentive and my goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and healthy! Am currently unemployed, so open schedule! Available for all needs including drop ins, walks, pet sitting, etc. Will update when my schedule becomes more full! I take pet safety very seriously and will always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their habits, moods, and needs. I’ll make sure they always have plenty of food & water, love, and attention. I follow each owner's instructions and schedule and keep a close eye on pets. If pet sitting, I always keep the environment clean and organized and always supervise. When on walks, I always take precautions and stay alert for any situation, and follow any instructions if given and will always keep you updated. Safety is always no. 1 priority! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I always treat & love them like my own.

About: I love animals and i’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl. Any chance I got to be able to play with our dog, take him on a walk or even just to feed him I was always right there. Every morning before work I make my cat his breakfast meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water for hydration). Play with him for at least 5-10 minutes so he doesn’t feel ignored. Once coming home from work he is greeted with cuddles and play time and a treat until it’s time for his dinner meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water & Omega-3 oil). I make sure to scoop my cat’s litter box daily as to not stress him out and to keep a clean litter box. Litter changes weekly. I have always had pets growing up. Ranging from dogs, cats, frogs, turtles, fish, etc. Every pet is different so i’ve had to care for each animal in different ways. Getting to know your pets is always fun and also important in knowing how to care for them and keep them happy and comfortable. Tending to your pets needs and wants such as daily/weekly water bowl/fountain changes, learning their food preferences, toy preferences, maintaining a nice environment for them is super essential in pet care and overall happiness.

About: I can walk the dogs in my neighborhood, i can feed them, bathe them if needed, and give medicine if needed. I love animals i have experience with dogs/cats because i have owned multiple throughout the years and i have volunteered at the Humane society of Ventura county which required me to walk, play, and comfort the dogs. I have taken care all of my family members dogs while they were on vacation and i truly enjoy caring for them. I have grown up rescuing lost dogs and helping them find their way back home. Please feel free to message me with questions you may have i want your pet to feel comfortable and loved when they are in my home! Pet care fits into my routine because i am a stay at home mom so i have time to give your pet all the attention he/she needs. I either crate the pet or let them roam freely in my home! I include walks and take them to the park to run. Unless otherwise requested not to. I follow full instructions the owner provides.

“Emily did a great job with my active / anxious dogs. She kept our house clean and was extremely respectful.”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!

“Natalie get 10 stars! What a fantastic sitter for our dog, Rip. Natalie was on time to the house and she followed all of our instructions for our dogs care. Natalie was so loving and allowed him to love her and bond with her. She put play dates together to give our dog more interaction with other pups his age and that was excellent. She sent us daily progress reports with pictures of our dog and that kept us close and informed. She stayed at our house and she left it cleaner than she found it. I’ve already recommended her to neighbors because great sitters are hard to find! 😊”

Helena U.

“Excellent! Great communication before and during her stay. Always responsive and anticipating questions or issues. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home and taking care of friends and neighbors pets growing up. I love to exercise and I think dog walking is a great way to do so and makes it more enjoyable. I'm currently working part time a few days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit, dog walk, ect. My availability is flexible. I think it's important for all animals to be taken care of with love and kindness. I'll follow any rules you may have and direction or instructions.
