About: I have been a pet care giver for 24 dogs, 6 cats, some fish and farm animals. I have always grown up around many animals wether its little dogs, big dogs, cats, pigs, goats and bunnies!

I work part-time, a few hours 3 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of availability for your furry friends. The day's I work I am home by 1-2pm and I have the weekends off to spend time with your animals. I have a fenced in acre for your pets to roam and enjoy. There is lots of turf, dirt and shade for our furry friends to run, play and rest. I have a friendly 3 year old golden doodle who loves to play and keep other furry friends company. I have a spacious and cozy room for overnight stayers and can crate if needed.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, but also had other animals such as geckos, turtles, hamsters and chinchillas! I have a love for all animals and understand they each have their own different needs. I have pet sit for my neighbors senior dogs, and worked with a cat rescue for 5 years with kittens, momma cats and older cats. I am comfortable administering oral medication for cats if needed. I am teacher, I have summers off to help out with your furry friends as much as possible! I can provide ample amount of time to give your pets attention and stimulation. Making sure they are getting fed well, getting enough play and exercise time and making sure they are clean and brushed. I will ensure pets happy and healthy in their environment by making my own presence feel comfortable to them.

About: I have lived in the Central Coast for over 10 years and I have been actively caring for animals since 2020. I have found such great fulfillment through caring for animals. Your furry friend's needs come first and I strive to make sure everyone feels secure and happy in every visit. I am able to do overnights any day of the week. My schedule is always flexible and I will always find a way to make sure your needs are being met! For drop in visits and walks, I have more flexibility on weekends. On Mondays-Fridays, I am able to do visits after 4:30pm. With any new animal, I start off slow and let them have the opportunity to sniff or be near me without feeling pressured. I analyze the animal's behavior and pick up any cues on how they're feeling before proceeding. Building trust is very important to me and I like to build connections with the animals!

“Isabella did an amazing job with my dog. She followed every instruction to care for him during his walks and he loved it!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have also fostered kittens for the animal shelter that I later adopted. I am a substitute teacher during the regular school year and am otherwise a DoorDash driver. I would work my schedule around what you need. My cats stay indoors and my 2 dogs love hanging out on our front enclosed porch or lounging inside. They all get along quite well.

About: I grew up with tons of animals but I have a special love for dogs💕 I also have dog sat & house sat many times before as well. I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of time to care for your doggos🫶 whenever I’m not working I will be available to sit. I go above & beyond to take care of your fur baby. I follow the instructions of the pet owner & do my best to make the dog as happy as possible!

About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.

About: I’ve taken care of my grandparents white boxer for the past 6 years. She got diagnosed with being epilepsy and many other things. So I have plenty of experience with giving meds to dogs and so on. I’ve grown up with dogs and I have been training them; from potty training to all the tricks you can think of. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts from 0600 to 1830so I have 4 days out of the week free! My schedule constantly changes but I’m free most of the week. I do have one dog who is a German Shepard and Husky mix. She is still a puppy but loves playing with other dogs and is quite the people person who will love to lick you to death.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, dependable approach, especially in high responsibility situations. I’ve cared for dogs with strict feeding schedules and post-surgery needs, including recognizing an emergency when stitches reopened and safely transporting a dog to the pet hospital while keeping the owners fully informed. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. Owners can trust that their pets’ safety, comfort, and routines are always my top priority. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work at an elementary school in Nipomo from 7–9/10 AM, then I’m free from 10 AM–3 PM, but mondays and Wednesdays I have school and only available 12-2pm and return to work from 3–6:30 PM everday. During my free hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m also available for early mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I have experience caring for multiple pets, including a Pitbull Blue/Red Nose mix, a cat, two love birds, and two small dogs—a Pomeranian and a Maltese. This has made me comfortable managing different sizes, breeds, personalities, and feeding routines. For safety and comfort reasons, I do not allow other pets in my home. I currently offer drop-in visits only and provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes.

About: Growing up on a ranch, I’ve been around animals my whole life and have cared for pets for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I treat them like my own and try to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Available evenings and weekends. I’m flexible, reliable, and able to give pets my full attention, while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I can also accommodate last minute bookings when possible. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your pet by sticking to their routine. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention, while also keeping your home clean and respected. I adjust to each pet’s personality and always keep you updated so you know they’re happy and in good hands.

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for over 10 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

“Caitlin goes above and beyond the call of duty and it shows! My doggo is super attached to me so wasn’t so excited to go on a walk with her on their first day. Because she took the time to build his trust and spends extra time with him to build an alliance, I have nothing but great things to say about her!”

About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals! I always take up an opportunity to care for our furry friends! many of my family member and friends have had me watch their pets. I even pet sat for my Boss fairly often! I used to work at a local pet store and absolutely loved it! There I cared for many different types of animals such as mice, birds, fish, reptiles, and more! It was such a great experience! As of right now I am free 24/7 tuesday through Saturday to care for your pets. I am a full time online student, however I can always make time for your animals. I currently have four of my own fur babies! I make sure that they have accessible food, water, outdoors, etc. I always make sure to have them on a leash when walking or make sure no other threats are around. I live in an area where coyotes are frequently seen running around. When letting them out at night I always stand with them and have lights surround them to make sure they are seen at all times. I couldn’t imagine if anything happened to them I love them so much as I will continue to care for your loved ones just as much. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who gets pretty sickly sometimes. I always make sure to separate her from my other dogs to make sure she doesn’t get overwhelmed and gets the rest she needs. My other papillon mix is car sick so when we need to take her in the car i make sure she is comfortable and safe.

About: Hello my name is Karen, I’m happy to help you with pet care arrangements. I myself have relied on Rover for times I needed to be away. I understand what pet parents may need and understand that sometimes this role needs to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are being cared for. Overall, I always had a pet in the home from childhood to adulthood. Giving me over 25 years of pet care responsibilities. Currently I am a pet parent to a German Shepherd, Dax, and black house cat, Kenny. I am observant of pet body language and in-tune with pet needs. My pets have ranged from outdoor kitties to leash reactive large breeds. I have used oral medicine and topical medicine, and am comfortable with pets post-surgery as well. Being away from your pet is difficult, I’m here to ease that worry for you. Again, I’m happy to help you for brief visits or extended periods. Please feel free to reach out and see if we can work together. 🐾❤️ This service requires trust and dependability, something that I can definitely deliver. My schedule is wide open, unless otherwise stated in the calendar. My homebase is in Santa Maria, but I am willing to travel and service areas as far as Paso Robles, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, and the places between. Including Solvang, Buellton, and Santa Ynez. If you do have questions about something more specific or time frames that are more specific to your needs please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you and make something work. I am cautious and aware, making sure that pets are safe at all times, I like to be preventative and think one step ahead. During walks, I am aware of my surroundings, if you have a specific route you walk I can stick to that route. Communication is key, making sure I am informed of anything that you need me to take note of. I’m always respectful of property and boundaries.

“I'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”
