Pet Sitting Corralitos

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

“Jonathan has been instrumental in helping me train my puppy and he is very patient with her puppy "skills" which includes eating grass. He makes sure that she has some play time and makes sure to follow my instructions to make sure I'm comfortable leaving my puppy to his care. Thanks Jonathan! I appreciate all your help!”

“Laura was a wonderful sitter for our kitty. She was extremely communicative, gave us real-time updates on her timing and the visit, and left a great summary of her visit and how our kitten was doing with a number of photos. Laura is responsible and responsive and clearly a real lover of animals. We'd recommend her to any caring pet owners!”

About: I love dogs, have had my own but school and work are too demanding for full time care. In the time I have your dog rest assured they will be treated as if they were my own. I look forward to my time with them . I am available most weekdays and weekends, especially morning or day time. I think my love for dogs is my greatest skill, every time I see one I can’t help but go and give it some love. I’m up for anything from walks and play time to down town together just bonding. Beach time is one of my favorite things to do and I would love the company of your dog by my side, everything is more fun with a dog .

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with pets, including bunnies, and I’ve had my Maltese, Marlin, since I was 10 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like family with plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to help care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m always available on weekends and love being able to spend quality time with animals 🐾 I’ll make sure your furry ones are always fed, have fresh water, and are well cared for. I’m very attentive and always clean up after them as needed. I treat every dog the same way I treat my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Melissa was so sweet with my cat and very professional and reliable. It put my mind at ease to know she had my cat care covered while I travelled. Highly recommend!”

“Tarah was fantastic! She did 4 drop-ins a day with our 2 dogs and always sent updates and photos. Our Whippet/Husky mix can be quite a rascal, but Tarah handled her energy very calmly. Very friendly and reliable.”

About: I am a long term animal lover and trainer. 20 years experience with larger dog breeds. I have a flexible schedule and excellent references. Many years experience with Cats too. Will provide care and feeding, exercise and play, grooming and clean up. Can handle multiple pets. rates flexible depending on type of pets, number of pets and if overnight. I have local references upon request. I am currently working part time, so I have lots of flexible time available to spend giving your dogs, cats and farm animals the very best of care! I provide a complete variety of pet services in your home. I am overly cautious about safety in and out of the home. I take extra precautions when walking your dog near other dogs and with allowing pets outdoors where wild predators can be nearby. I am very aware of other dogs and will not allow to approach unless previously known. My availability changes. Sometimes I work remotely from home doing business office support for clients. This affects the type of pet care assignments that I may accept due to logistics and pet needs. I care for pets in your home only and take dogs on outings and employ daily frequent play and walks. Your pets get lots of attention!

“Melissa kept in great contact and even sent a bunch of photos showing that Elsie is doing well. I can't wait to get home to see her, but I feel comfortable having her in Melissa's care. She checked on the food and water dispensers, asked for details about keeping the litter box clean, and spent some time playing with Elsie. I will contact Melissa again to see if she will be available again soon for another visit.”

“Isolyn is a trustworthy pet care provider who I would definitely recommend. She did a marvelous job caring for my two elderly cats while we were away. I appreciated her frequent updates and photos!”

About: Hello! My name is Calista and I am a young professional in the area extremely passionate about animals. I became a pet sitter because I love all animals and enjoy playing, taking care of and spending time with animals. I love the outdoors and long walks (especially with a furry companion!). I have had animals around me all my life and I specifically have many years of experience with Pit-bulls and large dogs and anxious animals. I am very flexible with pet sitting, walking and care options. Your pet is your family and I understand how hard it is to leave them in the care of someone else. I do not take the responsibility of your family member lightly and I will provide them with all of the attention and love that they deserve. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry friend! I am flexible with requests for any type of needs! I understand that I am coming into your pets life and would like to make that transition as smooth as possible! Staying patient and meeting them where they are is of the utmost importance to me!

“Allison is great! I needed someone to do some drop-ins while I was on a short work trip. Allison came by right on schedule, took care of everything with no problems, and was sure to send me photos and updates. And you can tell she genuinely enjoys getting to spend some time with the animals. I felt like my dog was very well taken care of.”

“Samantha took great care of our kitties and was extremely professional, caring, and responsive. This was our first booking with Samantha and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a drop-in visit. Thank you again Samantha!”

About: I have been caring for my 13 year old dog, Molly, for 11 years. I am also an active volunteer at the county animal shelter, working with dogs (1,000+ hours) and cats (400+ hours). I have a special place in my heart for dogs with behavioral and medical needs, and working with them at the shelter has taught me patience and skills that help to make the animals more comfortable. I also have training in puppy care, senior dog care, walking leash-sensitive dogs, and caring for injured animals. The time I get to spend with dogs is the most fun I have doing anything, and I take a lot of pride in caring for them with the appropriate level of attention and patience they need. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available to walk and care dogs at a variety of hours. The length of walks is up to you and your dog-- I am happy to do short walks or longer outings depending on what you need! I am happy to refer you to references (animal shelter staff and volunteers) who can attest to my dog-handling skills and my ability to work with dogs from a variety of backgrounds. The safety of your pet and your home always come first, and I am very comfortable taking any steps needed to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14 for friends and family and took them on walks, fed them, gave them baths and played with them. im currently a student at Cabrillo College and I play softball so pet care will really be exciting to bring into my every day life because its a stress reliever to hangout with dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe from other animals. I have dog food and have a safe home with siblings that love dogs as well.

About: Hi, I’m Ady! 🐾 I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 4-year-old pup named Leia, who is incredibly friendly and absolutely loves everyone! I also foster tiny bottle babies through local shelters and have experience caring for many different types of animals. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of rescues, including dogs, cats, snakes, and geckos—from newborn neonates to senior pets. I have over 10 years of veterinary experience, including working in general practice, emergency medicine, and ICU/specialty veterinary care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs and administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. I understand how hard it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I want to provide that peace of mind by using my veterinary experience to give your pets the same loving, attentive care I would want for my own. I’m currently taking a break from my veterinary career to be home with my two toddlers. While I absolutely love being a mom, I do miss working with animals! Pet sitting and fostering have given me a way to continue doing something I truly love while spending this special time with my family. Whether your pet needs medication, extra attention, special care, or simply someone to keep them company and give them lots of love, I’d be happy to help! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! ❤️🐾 Animals have always been a part of my everyday life. Between caring for my family, my own pets, and fostering little ones in need, pet care comes naturally to me. I love making time for each animal and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently offer boarding at my home, where I have 5 acres of space for your pets to enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of room to explore! For safety, all outdoor walks and exploring are done on a leash. I strive to provide a comfortable, loving environment where your pets feel right at home while you’re away. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your pet’s needs. I’d be happy to chat! 🐾

About: Greetings! My name is Teresa and I am a true dog lover. I have over 20 years of experience caring for my many dogs (I have owned/loved 10 dogs over the years...up to five at one time!) as well as watched their 'cousins' when needed...which has been frequent ;). I will come into your home and follow whatever regimen you require and desire for your pooches so you and they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know how incredibly difficult it can be to find caring and trustworthy people to watch one's canine babies while owners are away--this is my way to give back and help fellow pup parents with this issue. I hope to make many new friends, humans and dogs, in the process as well! Thanks for your consideration! I'm not working at the moment, so very available if necessary. My schedule is very flexible so I can generally be very accommodating to meet your and your fur babies needs. I live alone in my apartment 2 blocks from Twin Lakes. We have Schwan Lagoon trails, and an assortment of beach walks close by. I have a nice sunny balcony with bed/cot and many dog neighbors. If they love people, I have no problem taking them out to socialize.
