Cat Sitting La Conchita

About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 5 years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have a multi-pet household of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and giving your pup or kitty lots of love and attention. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, and dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. Building trust with animals is one of my favorite parts of pet care, and I love helping shy pets come out of their shell and gain confidence over time. I’m also trained in dog CPR ,as well as how to respond if one has a seizure, and I stay calm in stressful situations while always prioritizing safety. Whether your furbaby loves adventures and playtime or prefers calm companionship and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life, both at work and at home! I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with afternoon to evening availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I love staying active, spending time with animals, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including nervous or anxious pets who may need extra patience and reassurance. I always take time to build trust and help pets feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I’m trained in dog CPR and seizure response, and I stay calm and attentive in stressful situations. During visits, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love while also respecting their routines and your home. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

“I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”

“Our cat is the definition of a scaredy cat and hides whenever anyone who isn't us comes over, but Noah always made sure she had fresh food, water, and litter and would look in all her hiding spots to make sure she was good!”

“Deandra was a great pet sitter for my senior 5 lb dog. I used her for extended drop ins two days in a row and she always came right as scheduled, checked in with me, and sent plenty of pictures and an update on my dog when she left. She gave my dog lots of love, treats, and outdoors time and he was happy and relaxed every time I came home after one of her visits. I’m so happy I found her and will be using her as a pet sitter going forward!”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I raised a 15-year-old Havanese from puppyhood through her senior years, and now share my life with Willow, my playful and social one-year-old cattle dog mix who absolutely loves having dog friends around. We live on a peaceful mountain property near Carpinteria with lots of outdoor space to explore. Our days are full but relaxed — usually a mix of time at home while I work on graduate school coursework, walks around the property, afternoon rest time, and beach outings or little adventures into town. I love matching each dog’s energy level — whether that means active hikes and play sessions or a slower-paced day with cozy naps and calm companionship. I’m currently in graduate school studying acupuncture, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. I have experience with training and behavior work, including helping raise a previously reactive rescue dog. While I have that background, I’m currently focused on hosting dogs who are comfortable social playmates for Willow, so I’m not taking reactive dogs at this time. Our home also includes chickens (securely enclosed), and I’m happy to accommodate pickups or coordinate logistics to make things easy. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment where your dog can enjoy outdoor adventures, companionship, and attentive care — I’d love to connect! As a graduate acupuncture student, I spend most of my days at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structured care. Our daily routine includes relaxed time at home, walks around our mountain property near Carpinteria, rest breaks, and beach or town outings depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m able to accommodate active dogs who love adventure as well as pups who prefer a slower, cozy pace. Because I’m home frequently, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, enrichment, and outdoor time throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a peaceful mountain property with plenty of outdoor space and a calm home environment. This property is unfenced. My dog Willow is a friendly, playful cattle dog mix who enjoys respectful dog companions. Dogs are supervised during interactions and introductions are done thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m experienced with training and behavior awareness, comfortable administering basic care, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Our chickens are securely enclosed. I provide regular photo/video updates and maintain clear communication so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.

About: Hi! I’m Kesley — a lifelong dog lover with years of experience fostering and caring for pups of all ages, especially seniors. I’ve fostered dozens of dogs over the years, many needing extra patience, medication, and gentle companionship. I know how to spot the signs of discomfort, provide a calm presence, and make your dog feel safe and loved. Whether your dog is a playful pup or a slower-moving senior, I’ll follow their routine closely and treat them like one of my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you can travel worry-free. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles, freshwater/saltwater fish, and houseplants if you have other household needs while you’re away. 🕐 I live in downtown Ventura and work Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Santa Barbara, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your schedule. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your dog and learn how I can help! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life — I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals for years, so feeding, walking, cleaning, and giving attention is just part of my daily rhythm. I work weekdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., which gives me flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I love building pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and walking routines exactly as provided. I make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and calm companionship to reduce stress while their people are away. I also keep things tidy — cleaning up after pets, scooping litter, and sending regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I aim to make the experience as smooth and comforting as possible for both you and your furry family.

About: I specialize in caring for senior cats/dogs and pets that need extra kind of attention and patience. Because every pet is different, regardless of the booking length, I love spending every minute learning about your pet’s unique needs, habits and routine. Grew up in a house with lots of pets including ducks, chickens and fish. Please note that I no longer sit/walk dogs over 40lbs. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or for business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

“Ashley was AMAZING with our cat Gigi. She was always on time, energetic and playful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable being away from her. I got so many adorable pictures and videos of my cat having a blast. She helped us and our little girl feel so comfortable being apart. Definitely book her!!”

“Hannah was easy to communicate with and very attentive to our needs. She followed all our directions with care. The cats definitely enjoyed her company!!”

About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband will take care of our fur babies. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.

About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!

About: Animals have always been family to me, and after struggling to find reliable care for my own pets, I became that person for others. With 9+ years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to seniors needing extra support. I’m skilled in administering medications including insulin, steroids, allergy treatments, and subcutaneous fluids. I currently care for my own special-needs cat, so I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Whether it’s maintaining daily routine, giving medications on schedule, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I care for every animal as if they were my own. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. 🐾 I have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pets any time such as weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight house sitting, or extended care, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship whenever you need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to create a calm, safe, and familiar environment so they feel completely at ease while you’re away. I follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and bedtime habits to keep everything consistent. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“Presly did a great job watching my cat. Much appreciated.”
