Pet Sitting in Oceanside

“Allison came through in a pinch because it was hard to find a sitter over the holidays. Understood the cat’s special diet, came home to a happy cat.”

“Thank you so much for sitting with my little rascals. With their various personalities I needed someone who could provide equal care to them both. I will definitely contact you again in the future for any future needs.”

About: Well I’ve had cats all my life but I do love dogs! I have done over night(s)! I love taking dogs for walks & to parks to run around and possibly play with other dogs I’ve helped with a friend of mine dogs while his other family members were off on a camping trip so I took them out for potty a few times a day, feed them, & played with them. I’m definitely an animal lover who loves being outdoors and helping out if and when needed I’ve been told multiple times that I’m a cat/dog whisperer if you know what I mean by that. If there is anything in particular you wanna know feel free to ask. I currently am a homemaker and do have my own vehicle. I currently have a very open schedule but I do not drive. My partner drives me (or animals!) wherever I need to go. First things first I like to have a conversation with the clients about their pet specific needs and schedules. If a, “In-home” pet sitting is needed, I also like to go over any house or home rules. This can vary depending on the animal.

“Zeva was punctual, kind and communicative when visiting my cat. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I make sure your pet feels like a member of the family, not only are they smart, they need attention to make sure they can have trust. I have nothing but time and attention to give. I love to have fun, that's what life's all about, getting out there and having adventures. Any new opportunity is what pushes me into the next day, can't wait to meet you and hear your story. As a type one diabetic, I know how important special needs are, especially for pets, any medication, any set schedule, anything to make sure your animal has a long and fruitful life in your family

About: I have extensive experience taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens, but am open and excited to take care of all pets. I am new to Rover, but have completed over 40 sits through TrustedHousesitters watching many dogs, cats, and kittens, ranging from weekend sits to entire months and have been pet sitting full time for 1 and a half years. I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and have experience administering medication (including insulin, pills, liquid). I also have experience with a variety of farm animals as I watched an entire farm by myself including goats, sheep, turkeys, rabbits, cats and dogs. In addition to my recent experience through TrustedHousesitters, I have had many house/pet sitting gigs throughout the years. I periodically watched my housemates cat in college. I grew up dog sitting my family friend's dog and cat sitting for a couple of different families. I also nannied for 4 years, and have experience looking after houses, cleaning, and keeping my clients homes in great condition. I am originally from California, but my home base is Portland, OR. My favorite activities include running, hiking, and anything outdoorsy. I am a marathon runner and I have completed 6 marathons so far and have run numerous half marathons. I also really like exploring, traveling and trying new food and coffee places. I love to house/pet sit because it gives me the opportunity to be around cute pets and make some extra income as I recently moved back to Portland after taking a gap year. I have 3.5 years of experience working remotely in the medical communications field and I am a UC Davis alumni. While caring for your pet and home, I will be available on my cell and will text picture updates, so you can feel at ease while you are away and will be sure to give your pet plenty of cuddles and love.

About: I may be young, but I've had multiple animals in my life already: 3 cats, a handful of dogs, some fish, and even a horse. I also did rescue for 5 years, being a foster family for numerous cats working with my local animal shelter. I also dog-sit for family and friends. I am free any day throughout the week as long as I get notice at least a day ahead. I am an older sister to lots of kids, so scheduling is very important to me. I would treat your animal just like my own: walks, playtime, relaxation, and feeding. I can also bathe and brush as well. If you can give me a list of what your pets need, I'll make it a priority.

About: I'm responsible and loving and you'll never need to worry about your family member. I have over 70 years of animal caregiving. I'm happy to provide photos and updates while you're away to increase your comfort and ensure your pets are being cared for. I'm open to pet sitting any time, as this is my main source of employment. I'm happy to house sit, pet sit, or do daily drop-ins. I have a long-standing relationship in the community. Our family farm was well-respected for seven decades. I treat your family loved ones like one of our own.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My dogs are truly my best friends, and my most favorite things to do are play with them, walk them, and take them down to the beach. I get so much joy from being with dogs, and would love to be available to help people with their doggies whenever needed! I’m currently home for the summer, between school years as an English teacher in Madrid, Spain. Right now, I’m enjoying time on the Oregon coast and working on my Spanish, so I have plenty of availability, and lots of motivation, for pet care! My approach to caring for pets in my home and my client’s home is one of attention to individual needs. I know that every pet is different, and every pet has different needs. I would want to know from my clients how best to make their pet comfortable and cared for. Whether the dog likes to play lots, walk, run, or just hangout, I want to make sure that time away from their family can still feel like home.

“Amy is absolutely awesome! I had never used a pet sitter before so I was a bit apprehensive about having a stranger care for my cat in my home while I was away, but I am so glad I chose Amy. Not only was she super friendly, flexible and quick to respond to my questions, but you can tell she genuinely loves animals. I really appreciated the pictures she sent of Stevie while I was gone and the updates on how she was doing. Amy gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip away. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

About: I have excellent references with over 18 years of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and grooming animals. I have worked with animals as young as 4 months old to as old as 18 years old and had to administer medication. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, and cows. I am a teacher so I am available any time during the week to stay over and with breaks I can go and let them out for play and potty time. I’m off work after 3:45 so your pet babies will have lots of attention! I also have summers off (June-August) and can be home with your pets all day! I live in an apartment at this time so I will not be able to keep your animals here, but I am able to come to your home and be there as much or as little as you need me to be! I want what is best for your pet since I know they are part of your family. When you put your trust in me, I take that very seriously and anything you need directions wise will be followed since you know your pet best!

“Big thanks to Erica for taking such good care of my cat over a longer stay! She always sent plenty of photos and confirmed that everything was going fine, and I'm really grateful for the peace of mind that my cat was given great care and attention. I appreciate how easy it was to communicate with Erica and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“We were on vacation and needed to leave the dog behind for 3 hours in August. She is not crate trained and is a barker. The sitter was a great option to keep Katie supervised and active for that time. Thanks!”

Holt Q.

“Brenna was an amazing cat sitter! She is extremely communicative, trustworthy, and kind, even my shy cats came out to see her! It is clear that she cares deeply for animals and is great at caring for them :)”
