House Sitting in El Rio

About: Thanks for reading, a little about me, I have a master's degree in social work, a mental health therapist, and passionate pet person. I have been a shelter volunteer in the past. I have also been trusted with pet sitting for others. I also own two corgis myself. Open schedule at this time. Flexible on timeframes and dates. Feel free to message me and we can discuss more. Thank you so much. Take great care. I have experience with pet sitting in others homes, experienced with house sitting for both dog and cat families. Looking to meeting your four legged family member.

“I can’t recommend Ann enough! She went above and beyond caring for my shy, fearful kitty while we were away. It’s so clear how much love and care she has for animals—she truly treats them like her own. From the moment we met her, I knew my cat was in the best hands. Ann’s communication was amazing throughout our trip. She sent regular updates and the sweetest photos, which made it so much easier to relax and actually enjoy our time away without worrying. My cat usually takes ages to warm up to anyone, but somehow Ann won his heart right away! She even shared a few helpful tips and tricks that we’ll be using. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your furry family member, Ann is your person. We’re already looking forward to booking her again for our next trip 😸❤️”

“Cassie was awesome! She handled my anxious/shy pup and his high energy/no boundaries brother without a problem. I usually take them with me ad much as I can, so it’s been about 3 years since they’ve had a dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving them with a stranger, but Cassie seemed to really enjoy their company, kept in touch and followed all instructions. Came home to a clean house and two very happy pups! Will definitely book Cassie again!”

“Alex took great care of my pups and my home while I was out of the country. I left with great peace of mind but he still sent many updates and photos throughout. Will use again! Thanks!”

“We can't say enough good about Brooke! She took great care of our pets and our home....When we got back, the place was cleaner than when we left and the pets didn't seem to miss us at all! Highly recommended!”

“Ali was great - very communicative and was super helpful in an emergency so I didn’t have to leave my race. Highly recommend and Artemis & Apollo would love to see her again!”

“Diana was friendly, communicative, and dependable while watching our dogs this weekend. She administered our senior dogs medicine twice daily. Thank you! 🐾🤎”

“Kevin was prompt, communicative, and courteous. He was open to hearing all our instructions for our two ~60 lbs pups. One dog has mobility issues and Kevin was kind to his needs. They were well taken care of for their time with him and we would certainly rebook.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. Guard dogs, and house dogs as well varying from Dalmatians, Rottweilers, pitbull mixes all the way down to a Chihuahua and Pugs. I can handle dogs pretty well, and cats… psh I’m basically an expert having 2 and taking care of ferals/ cat colonies. I love all pets and consider my own, the children I never had :) I’m currently working M-F from 0730-1500. I am free on the weekends and usually anytime after 1430. I can leave work if need be as well to let your babies out. I keep my cats inside and trust I won’t let yours get out. I’m quite savvy in my ways, living with dogs all my life and dealing with a fence jumping Husky.

“I felt like my animals were very safe and secure in this couple’s hands. Very communicative and reassuring. I am planning on rebooking with them again. :)”

About: I’m good with dogs. I’m also very patient and interactive with them. No longer have my own but I’ll treat your doggie like my own. I’m am currently working nights during the week so I have time in the morning for some walks or some hikes. Weekends schedule always changes. Previously I’ve dog sat and at the same time house sat while clients were out of town. I’m very cautious and trustworthy as well very vigilant of my surroundings.

About: I love animals (all sorts!) & have been caring for pets since I was a child. Puppies or seniors, I'm ready and able to love and care for your furry family member as well as you would yourself. I'm comfortable giving medications, including shots (I had a dog who was diabeic and need daily insulin shots), light grooming (burshing etc., - no trims), and cleaning up any unexpected messes. Whether it's daily visits or overnight stays, I hope you will consider me when you need someone trustworthy to care for your pet in your absence. I have a part time job, so need to be away for 3-4 hours each afternoon (usually from 2:30-6-6:30), but other than that, I'm available anytime. I am able to come to your home, whether it's just hanging out for a few hours so they have company, or overnight stays for as long as needed. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, as I live in a moblie home, and do not have a yard.

About: I've had dogs since I was thirteen; I've trained them since they were pups. I know how to care for them, play with them, feed them, and bathe them. I'm currently working part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of any sweet critters! On weekdays, I'm available to house-sit mornings until 1 pm and nights/overnights after 6 pm! For weekends, I'm available all day on Saturday. Sunday, I'm available from morning until 12 pm. I will care for your pets the way I care for my own. I'm one to stick to a routine they're familiar with and am extremely patient with slowly introducing myself to your pet. I do my best to make sure they're comfortable and have their own space. I will ensure they get plenty of play time. For your dog's safety on walks, I avoid approaching other dogs unless told otherwise.

About: Growing up on a farm in Texas taught me a lot lessons about working with and caring for many different animals! Growing up, my family has always been surrounded by dogs, which I was responsible for when my parents would be gone. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I miss the feeling of being around animals and would love the opportunity to watch over yours! I’m currently active duty in the US Navy, but with my level of freedom I have nights and weekends completely free! I’d enjoy spending that time watching over your 4 legged family members! I live in a safe community that’s very pet-friendly, and I’m also capable of protecting your home/animals if necessary. I have a dependable roommate I can call on if any problems may arise.

“Danielle is the best sitter in Oxnard. We hired Danielle after a previous rover wouldn’t do a meet and greet with us for our destination wedding. Danielle jumped in the last minute and was able to sit our nervous dog. Danielle did an amazing job keeping our dog calm during our chaotic day and kept our dog busy while we were getting married. Danielle gave him walks, played with him, took him out to dinner and even stayed longer than planned. Thank you Danielle for taking care of our Tucker.”

“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!”

Katlyn E.

“Michelle is amazing! She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the entire stay. Never once had to worry about how our girl was doing ☺️🐾”

Stephanie L.

“Christina is our pup's new best friend! Happy pets, house just as we left it- peace of mind knowing she was there. She's warm & friendly, highly recommend!”

About: I’m very passionate when it comes to animals and pets. I have patience, I pay close attention to detail, and have a genuine love for animals. I have experience in caring for high energy pets. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific needs each pet has. I stay consistent so pets feel comfortable and less stressed while their owners are away. Our pets are our family, they bring us the joy and love we sometimes don’t even realize we’re missing. They are just babies and should always be treated as priority!
