Cat Sitting in Lake Hughes

About: I have worked with animals almost my entire lifetime, starting at age 10 with horses. I'm the kind of person who took in, and rescued any animal who needed it (mice/ rats/ fox cubs/ parrots/ ducks - you name it!). Growing up in an isolated farming community in rural England was conducive to this. By my early teens I moved on to raise money for animal rescue charity’s such as the WWF and RSPCA. I am certified in Pet first aid, and whilst not busy with running my dog walking business, I'm pursuing dog training certification, and aspire to study Animal Behavior MSC. I have been in the dog care business in California since 2009, I recently made Lake Hughes my home and am opening my schedule to the local community for dog boarding. Your dogs will join my pack! Between myself and several of my trusted live-in ranch workers (also experienced in pet care) we provide 24hour supervision in a in-home setting! Your dog will stay inside of my home, we can section off separate areas depending on how well your dog is adjusting to our pack. If your dog prefers to keep to himself he might score his own private bedroom! If he/she prefers a crate, that is ok too! We are experienced in knowing how to adjust for each personality type. We have a fenced in yard outside, and if you are comfortable with it, your dog is welcome to roam our 20-acre property (with supervision of course) during bathroom and exercise breaks. They may even get lucky and meet one of friendly ranch livestock (with supervision of course) that are all accustomed to dogs!

“Brenda helped us enjoy our trip, knowing that our cat was being cared for well.”

“Sue was fantastic! I felt very at ease with her and she is very trustworthy. She took great care of my babies! She was great with communicating with me every day. I loved the pictures she would send me showing what the kitties were up to! I will definitely hire Sue again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds and sizes for friends and family. I have been trusted to stay overnight at homes to watch their animals for multiple days at a time. I also am able to administer medications if needed. I have a completely open schedule, so I am available seven days a week to walk pets and watch them. I am also available all hours of the day. I have always watched the pets in their home. I am very respectful of homeowners' privacy in their homes and follow all rules and instructions.

“I am so grateful that I found Danielle! She is extremely reliable, flexible and my dogs LOVE her. My dogs are always tuckered out when she is done playing with them and they love when she comes. Not only is she reliable and treats my dogs as if they were her own, she makes sure the bag gate is locked, sends photos, and communicates. Danielle comes on a daily basis and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Danielle!!”

“Tatiana did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were out of town. She was very communicative, flexible and sent us delightful updates on our cats with photos and videos that let us know they were getting love. She also brought in our mail when I forgot to ask about it. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again. Thanks Tatiana!”

“Andrew was great & I’ll definitely book again! I have 3 cats & not only did he easily handle 3 cats, but I have a senior cat that needed meds, a crazy hyperactive kitten, and a Savannah cat. Andrew was very responsive and communicated great & was flexible on timings for drop ins. Andrew also handled the unexpected events great - my Savannah cat had a minor injury & the kitten destroyed some things. So all around Andrew was great & i definitely recommend him!”

“Shannon was so awesome and reliable! My kitty can sometimes be a pain to take care of since she gets separation anxiety when I am away for too long- Shannon handled everything to perfection. I received daily feedback from her with pictures, videos, and written information so I knew that my cat was taken care of well. Will definitely book again!”

About: I feel very confident in my ability to take care of pets after having them for the majority of my life. I have a passion for animals and will have the best time keeping your fur babies company. It will fit into my weekly schedule quite easily as I am a college student that takes primarily online classes. My schedule is very flexible. I already have cats that I take care of. I will adhere to any safety measures that are needed for each pet. Some need crates, some do not. I will respect the wishes of each client and do what is best according to those guidelines.

About: I’ve grown up in an animal-loving family and have a strong affinity for any animal! I am currently a journalist for Acton/Agua Dulce Newspaper. My dream is to be able to one day work remotely and foster animals on the side. I’m excited to be able to provide you with trusted care and companionship for your animal! Please keep in mind that anyone located over 30 miles from where I live will incur a travel fee, just to accommodate for gas, Thank you! I am very rarely unavailable, I can easily visit up to 3-5 times a day depending on the distance from my home. Weekends and holidays included. I care for animals patiently and wait for them to approach me. I currently own a mastiff rescued from a fighting ring who is extremely sensitive and timid so I understand how important it is to go slow and gain trust!
