House Sitting Dulah

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.

“Very responsive and respectful. She is very trustworthy and kind - treated my dogs like they were her own. I’ll definitely reach out to Jennifer as my first choice to watch my dogs again.”

“This was our 3rd booking with Leanna & Julio and they continue to exceed our expectations! They took amazing care of our two corgis for over 2 weeks while we traveled internationally, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. We received frequent updates, photos, and videos and it was clear our boys were happy and well cared for. We trust them completely and will absolutely book again!”

“Lacey watched our dog at our house while we were gone for a long weekend and was excellent. Our dog had a great time and we felt great knowing that Lacey was taking great care of her, taking her on long walks and giving her lots of love. Lacey is great with dogs and has a calm presence that helps keep our dog mellow. This is our second time having Lacey dog sit and we’ll definitely do it again!”

“Annette is so loving with our pets, she is extremely reliable and communication is excellent!”

Lorena L.

“Sage was great! She stayed overnight at our home with our 6 month old pup, Oakley, and immediately put us at ease. She was communicative from the start, made sure we went over all care details before we left, and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout the stay, she sent several check-in texts with photos, which we truly appreciated, especially since this was our first night away. She paid attention to detail, followed Oakley’s routine, and left our home neat and clean. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

Heather N.

“Sienna was great! Communicative and responsive- she would send daily updates on the pups and plenty of photos which were very much appreciated. We would definitely have her come stay at our home and watch the pups again! Thank you :)”

Emily N.

“Erin was so great with Wallace! She was flexible before booking to arrange a meet and greet, and I could tell Wallace instantly was at ease around her. We booked her to stay our our home with our pup for 10 days, and she was more than a perfect houseguest, on top of a great dog sitter. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos throughout our time away, and left the house extra clean for when we came home. We even had a delayed flight returning home, where we potentially were going to need to be gone another night, and Erin was more than willing to stay an extra night if we needed, and went back to our house once more to check on Wallace because of our delays. We will absolutely be booking Erin again!”

About: I just love dogs and cats. The last three years is the only time I haven’t had a pet in my 27 years on this earth! I am extremely active and love the beach and hiking so I am more than up to take your dog out for some great adventures. Not to mention I have had everything from shitzus and jack russels to pitties and rottweilers. My first job ever was walking dogs around my neighborhood, so I am more than familiar with the gig and all types of dogs! I’m a student working full time, however I have plenty of weekday availability during the day and morning as well as into the evenings. In fact, I’d love nothing more to make time for your pets as I have had dogs and cats all my life up until the past few years and need more time for them! If you need me to come to your home to look after your pet, I will treat both your home and your furry friend as my own. If needed as well, I have no qualms taking your pet to the beach, on a hike, or whatever you’d like for some enrichment for them!

About: Nothing matters more than the complete care of your furry friend. From booking to reviews, I promise to give my utmost attention to make sure your dear one is attended to. I am an independent contractor also working part time on commission, so my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate per care. This means plenty of time to commit to the care of your pet I pay very close attention to the pet’s comfort. If they are anxious, I will try everything possible go soothe them—from endless games of catch, to brushing, to sitting with them while they fall asleep.

“Wow! What a lucky puppy my Maverick was to have Julie as his dog sitter. This guy is a big, high energy fellow and Julie was so attentive to his every need - including tons of attention and hugs. Perfect in every way! Thanks, Julie!”

About: ​"I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. ​I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." ​Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

“Thanks Ariel for taking care of our cats and dogs. Our pets were healthy and happy when we got home. Overall Ariel did a good job in caring for them and making sure they stayed safe.”

“This was my first time using Joseph and he was great. He was prompt in showing up for the meet and greet and my dogs were well taken care of during the stay. He even was able to work with me when I had to return from my trip early due to an illness. Thank you Joseph!”

“Brooke did an amazing job! We have a 75 lb Pitbull that can be stubborn at times. We also have two cats. She made sure everyone got the love and attention they needed. We will have Brooke back as often as we needed her.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I learned responsibility by having dogs all my life. The attachment and care I have for animals is tremendous. My heart is full because of them and it breaks when they’re hurting or sad. I take a lot of pride in the way I care for my own animals. I always put their needs first. I even took a remote job so I can spend more time with them. When my dog got sick I was constantly monitoring, medication handling, and I never put her health to the side. I act quickly. I also am very careful with who the dogs I take care of come in contact with. I can read dogs body language and will not force them to be in a situation they don’t like. Some dogs are friendly and some like their space. It is important for me to create space. It doesn’t matter if a dog is small and won’t hurt a fly, they can agitate a dog that can hurt them. I have even saved a yorkie from being attacked by a dog. This wasn’t under my care but I knew what to do and stepped in. I currently work remote. This means I can take out the pups for play and for a walk. I live right down the street from a park. And prioritize taking the pups out 2-3 times a day. Making sure they’re out for more than an hour. I have a small back yard and 3 friendly dogs. One old Shih Tzu, a heeler, and a yorkie. They love to play but love to protect their home so they will always be loud when someone is at the door.. I always treat the pups the same. I know how worried I am leaving my heeler behind so I know to take good care of new pups because I know they’re missing their parents too! As for someone else’s home. I do the same! Obviously respect the home but work in a schedule to accommodate what I need to get done but also create play, walk, or enrichment play.

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.

“Dakota is fantastic!! This is her second time watching Nash, my 11-month-old golden retriever. She’s the first person I ask now when I need someone to stay with him. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and spending time with them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with her! She’s friendly, communicative and reliable! She’s my go-to sitter for Nash!”

About: I've cared for dogs and cats most of my life since age 10, including a bonded pair of terriers I adopted and loved until they unfortunately passed in 2022. Since then I've done dog/cat-sitting, dog walking, and dog boarding for a variety of friends and clients, and have always had a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the opportunity to get to know individual pet's personalities and quirks, spend quality time with them, and figure out the sweet spot for pets and scritches. I'm currently going back to school and many of my classes are asynchronous so my schedule is generally pretty flexible and will work around your pet. As a result I am able to spend a lot of quality time with them and meet their unique, individual needs. Also if they want they can help me study to become a therapist! I have a small apartment on a beautiful property near downtown Ojai. I can unfortunately only board small dogs though. In a client's home I do my absolute best to respect your space as well as your pet. Let me know what you need to feel comfortable. I'm receptive to feedback and value open communication!

About: With 12 years managing a nonprofit animal rescue, I bring hands-on experience in both daily care and veterinary needs. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including special needs pets—your furry family is safe with me! While house sitting, I do work Thursday–Monday and am off Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I usually head out around 6:30–7am, but I have flexibility in my schedule and can sometimes work from home. I make sure all pets are well cared for with plenty of attention, exercise, and love before and after my workday. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own home. I do my best to keep everything consistent—from feeding and walks to their favorite cuddle spots. Whether your pet needs extra attention, quiet companionship, or lots of snuggles, I’m there to make their time without you as stress-free as possible.
