“Kelsey did a great job looking after my Bobcat while I was out of town for several weeks. She kept me informed with alot of photos and updates. I will definitely hire her again next time I leave town! Thanks again Kelsey!”

“Joslyn provided great care for our 2 cats, Opal and Topaz, while we had to go out of town short notice. Her calm and gentle demeanor gave us peace of mind that our babies would be lovingly cared for. She provided pictures and detailed updates each visit. When we came home, our kitties were content and very relaxed! A relief for an anxious cat mom like me, lol. Would absolutely consider Joslyn again for future cat care and highly recommend her services. Thank you Joslyn! ☺️”

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby? I’m your person! Certified in giving love, belly rubs, and compliments like “who’s the best dog ever?” (spoiler alert, it’s yours). I’ve spent over eight years working hands-on with animals, from volunteering at humane societies and rescues to caring for pets in boarding, daycare, and grooming. I may be a retired groomer, but my soft spot for clean paws and wagging tails is forever. Whether your pup is shy, sassy, or a total goofball, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely adored. Animals have always been my world, and I truly believe nothing beats that tail-wagging, pure-love greeting when you walk through the door. I’ll treat your pets like family, the kind of family that gets spoiled and praised all day long. Pet care fits into my day the same way coffee does… it’s a must! I love starting and ending my days with wagging tails, happy paws, and a few goofy zoomies. My schedule’s flexible, so I plan everything around walks, meals, cuddles, and playtime. Basically, if your pet’s happy, my day’s already a win. Keeping your pets happy and safe is my full-time mission. I follow all your instructions like a pro, from meals to walks to any special care your furry friends need. I bring plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and unsolicited affirmations so your pets feel loved, spoiled, and totally in charge while you’re away. Basically, I make sure they have the best day ever, every day.
“My dog can be a bit leery of new people but she trusted Kalia right away. Kalia was super professional, kind, on time and even sent me a photo during their walk. I will be booking again!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! I have had dogs my whole life, and have often been the go to friend for dog sitting because I love having them around. My Labrador Retriever and Coonhound mix are both very spoiled yet well behaved. Roxy likes to lounge and Rambo (the crazy coonhound) is all about the party. Whether visiting your home or hosting at mine, I am more than happy to go above and beyond to make sure your furry family member has everything he or she needs. My dogs visit a holistic vet once a year, so I am very used to the little extras that can make such a difference! I know sometimes they can feel a little anxious being in unfamiliar surroundings too, and I am happy to make adjustments and communicate with you to make sure he or she feels secure. I have a flexible schedule and love to provide lots of quality time, playtime and exercise. I have ease around feeding times and special accommodations too :) I have fenced yard and my dog loves other dogs! We spend lots of time outside on the patio, and go for lovely walks around the neighborhood
“Shannon loves my kitty like her own. She went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of when we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures of my fur baby. My kitty has a new favorite sitter! We will definitely always book with Shannon in the future. She even brought in my packages and took my trash can to the curb.”

About: Hi! I’ve lived with animals my whole life - mostly dogs (poodles!) - and I have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I recently moved to Ojai, CA to be closer to nature and embrace a lifestyle centered around wellness, animals, and the outdoors. I've decided to open my Rover sitting profile again (last time I was available on Rover I was in college), as I have had a few experiences sitting pets for friends and the community and I've realized how much I love it! My main gig is working as a marketing consultant remotely, so this lifestyle allows me the space and control over my time to be able to give your pets the attention and care they need daily. I also teach yoga and live a grounded lifestyle that pets tend to vibe with! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes as well as senior dogs and those who require oral medication. I'm also a major cat lover - most cats warm up to me quickly, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I approach all animals with gentle loving kindness, making sure they feel seen as I speak to them and give them the attention they deserve. Animals are so special and I feel I can speak their language naturally. Whether we're going on walks through beautiful Ojai, playing in the yard, or just relaxing and providing gentle companionship, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. You'll receive plenty of photos and updates, and your furry friend will receive all the pets and love they deserve. My job is working from home about 20-30 hours per week, so as long as you have wifi, I can be around to give lots of love and attention to your furry friend throughout the day. I have plenty of time and space to take breaks for walks, play and outdoor time. Whenever I am present in your home, I will keep my eyes on your pet. I will gently and lovingly communicate with them to make them feel safe in my presence. I will be attentive to their body language and won't overstimulate them with too many pets (if that's not their thing) - if that is their thing I will quickly pick up on it and be sure to give your pet lots of pets and love.
“Chelsey was great! She responded really quickly, worked with us to figure out a good schedule, and (most importantly) took great care of our pets. I'd absolutely recommend working with her, and I'm sure we'll contact her again in the future, too. Thanks, Chelsey!”


“Taryn was the first pet sitter I had in Los Angeles. I had a kitten that needed care while I went away for an extended period of time. She always took photos of my kitten and kept me updated along the way. Would highly recommend”

“Cassandra did an incredible job taking care of our home and our two cats. The photos and videos she sent were very sweet and helped a lot since I was recovering from a surgery and missing them terribly. She is so kind and thoughtful and we would love to work with her again in the future!”
