Pet Sitting Dehesa

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also had my own cat for 12 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs and puppies, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat them with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. 🐾 I’m available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. Weekday visits are best scheduled after 3 PM. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me additional availability for daytime visits on those Fridays. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet! I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow feeding, medication, litter, walking, and household instructions and make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Marla dropped in daily for our three cats while we were away. She followed our feeding instructions (our cats eat different food) and litter instruction to the letter, sent fun photos and daily updates with each visit, and our cats were relaxed and happy when we walked through the door. We would rebook with Marla in a heartbeat.”

I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Michaela is awesome!! She is very in tune with my dog’s behavior. She is kind and takes lots of cute pictures of my pups. And great at leaving detailed report cards.”

“Gabrielle took great care of our Maine Coon while on vacation. She was super nice, communicative and great to work with!”

“Melissa did a great job taking care of Daisy. This was her first time being watched by a cat sitter alone since our sweet Elmer passed away. Melissa made sure to find her every visit and send me pictures of her hiding spots. She was very communicative every step of the way and it was a huge relief for me to be able to rely on her to look after Daisy while I was gone.”

About: I have been in the dog daycare industry since 2008. I live and breathe for dogs. They make my life better. I managed a dog daycare facility for 15 years in Colorado. We had 150-200 dogs every day. Since moving to California in 2023 I am mostly a stay at home mom with a part time job at doggy daycare here in Kearny Mesa. To say that I “ love dogs” is an understatement. I am pet first aide certified and the years of experience with emergency situations have made so many dogs lives better. I can easily identify all the subtle ways dogs communicate with each and with us to create a safe space for them to just be dogs. The cute little puppies to the salt and pepper face seniors always have a safe place with me. I am currently working part-time with a lot of flexibility. I can help with any routine that you may need for your pup. Communication is key! I’ll go into detail with you on your expectations for the care your need your pup to have.

About: I have had pets all my life, from dogs, birds, fish, and have 4 cats of my own at home. I love animals, and have worked with pets with health problems, senior pets, young puppies and kittens, and am not afraid to take on any of these challenges. I don't see it as a challenge! I have open availability, so I can drop in and spend time with your pets whenever you're needing it. I am happy to scoop litter boxes, or clean up after dogs as well. I am happy to feed, water, and play with your pets while you're away. I feed our cats twice a day, and they always have access to fresh water, and I play with them every day.

About: Growing up we always had 1 to 3 German Shepherds. Today I am privileged to work as a canine handler in a law enforcement role. I have extensive experience in detection, track and trail, and obedience work. At my home I have 3 large dogs. 1 retired Sable Shepherd, 1 working Shepherd, and an Agouti Husky. I currently work full time, 5 days a week. During my work days I'm away for approximately 9 hours, but this is subject to change at all times. I have installed gates to separate sections of my yard when necessary. This is great for those who may not play well with others and need their own space away from my, or other client's dogs. Additionally, I have a couple large outdoor kennels (approx 4'x8', shaded, with an enclosure attached). These areas provides an additional layer of separation if needed, or serves as an outdoor area for escape artists who will be outside during my absence... additionally, my set up allows for easy client access with codes. So if you are running late, plans change, or I'm not home you can let yourself into the yard to drop off or pick up your pup. No hassle for me or you, so no stress on either end. Im amenable to providing care, stimulation, obedience training, etc as directed by you the pet owner. My goal is to provide a low stress, safe, and friendly environment for your dog so you can try to worry just a little less while you are away. While I'm at work all dogs will be outside in the fenced yard with access to shade, water, toys, and other dogs if they get along well. When I am home dogs are able to do what they prefer. In or out, couch or bed. What makes them happy makes me happy.

About: Hi! My name is Evgeniia. I'm a caring and responsible person, and I would love to help you with your dog. Dog walking is a great way for me to earn some extra money, and I'm happy to help busy pet owners. I will treat your dog with care and make sure they are safe and happy. I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I am currently looking for extra work and pet-sitting is my main focus right now. Since I am not working another job, I am completely free and available at any time. My schedule is 100% flexible every day of the week. I can easily fit your dogs into my daily routine and give them all my time, care, and attention. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. I offer a secure, fully fenced yard and have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I understand how important clear communication is, so I will always strictly follow your feeding, crating, and care guidelines while providing frequent photo and video updates!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From fostering and eventually adopting my beloved Boston Terrier to raising six cats and caring for two large Labradors over the past two years, I’ve gained a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. One of my latest adventures in pet care has been preparing fresh, homemade meals from scratch every week for the two Labradors I care for. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of nutrition, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I also have extensive experience with house sitting and caring for pets while their owners travel. I regularly look after a friend’s beloved Bulldog while she’s away at her second home in Austin, Texas. One of my biggest pet-sitting experiences involved caring for six animals under one roof, three dogs and three cats, including a dog who required daily medication. I managed everyone’s individual routines, meals, and needs while their owners were away in Los Angeles, and everything went wonderfully! I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households, large breeds, cats, and animals who need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I take pride in making their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. I also know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your beloved pets in their care. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time as an Esthetician, my schedule varies based on seasonal business changes, due to being at a resort. I have a lot of time off to dedicate to animals. I do not have set days off besides Fridays, but with enough notice I can make anything work. At home my pets have set meal times and bed times, but during the day are allowed to come and go as they please through the dog door and within the large acre fenced yard. How ever you’d like my time structured with your animal I will abide to. I am very flexible and know each family runs their homes differently, I am happy to help however you see fit.

“Victoria was so sweet and attentive to my cat! I appreciate all the photos she sent me too! She was quick with her responses and easy to talk to. I will definitely rehire her if I’m in need again. Thank you so much!”
