House Sitting in Ojai

About: I have many years of experience as a pet-sitter for friends and neighbors and have even worked as a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and some livestock animals including goats and pigs. I have cared for senior animals and pets with medical conditions. I'm working a remote part time job as a 3D artist, so my schedule is very flexible. I am even able to bring my work with me as long as your home has internet, so I can keep a close eye on your fur, feather or scale babies! Aside from being a calm and loving companion for your pets, I am also comfortable with administering oral medications, specialized feeding requirements (calcium dusting insects, feeding rodents to snakes, etc) basic grooming requirements, spot cleaning enclosures and general exercise needs.

“Ashley was amazing to say the least. On time, professional, and loves dogs !”

“We had Jasmine stay in our home with our pups for one week while we were away on vacation. This was a longer trip for us, so there were definitely some nerves about leaving our fur-babies! Jasmine for sure surpassed our expectations and she was very attentitive to our pups - included with many check ins and photos! We will definitely be using Jasmine again in the future :) It is clear our pups loved her and they were very well cared for!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, in a family where pets are truly considered members of the family. I’ve been lucky to always have animals around me—whether my own or the beloved pets of friends and loved ones—and I’m proudly an “auntie” to many wonderful dogs. I have a deep respect for animals and a genuine love for their unique personalities, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I approach pet care with patience, attentiveness, and tenderness, making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When your pet is with me, they will be treated with the same respect, love, and thoughtfulness that I give to the animals in my own life. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care and to make your pet feel truly at home. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to support your pet and your schedule with ease. I am available for house stays to support your pet while you're away, drop in support, walks etc. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar, low-stress environment. I’m attentive to routines, instructions, and individual needs, and I always follow best practices when walking dogs, including leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and respecting each pet’s comfort level. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every home and animal with responsibility, respect, and care—so you can feel confident your pet is in trusted hands.

About: I have a lifelong connection with animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I’ve personally raised both a kitten and a puppy, and I grew up surrounded by horses, cats, dogs, and other farm animals, which taught me from an early age how to understand and respect animals’ unique personalities and needs. I care deeply about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. As a highly intuitive caregiver, I pay close attention not only to your pet’s physical needs, but also to their emotional comfort, creating a trusted relationship where your pet feels calm, secure, and happy in my care. I offer flexible and reliable scheduling to meet your pet’s daily needs. I’m available for morning walks and feeding routines from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM Sunday through Wednesday, and for evening walks and feeding times from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM Sunday through Wednesday. I’m also fully available all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, providing extended care for walks, feeding, companionship, and general pet care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or consistent feeding support, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and keep them comfortable and cared for. I provide in-home pet care that prioritizes safety, trust, and a calm, loving environment. I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, whether that means playtime, daily walks, feeding routines, or overnight stays. I work closely with each client to understand their pet’s unique needs, including optimal feeding times, training habits, and daily schedules, so care feels familiar and stress-free for your animal. I deeply value creating a warm, secure space for your pet while also respecting the integrity of your home. Having years of experience caring for animals in clients’ homes, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and clear communication, ensuring both pets and owners feel safe.

“Fernanda was a great dog + cat sitter! She handled my energetic pitbull/boxer mix like a pro, and kept him busy with walks and playtime. I would definitely hire her again!”

Margaux N.

“We so appreciate Dominique's patience in having to deal with more than just cat issues while we were out of town, including a power outage. She was responsive and easy to communicate with during everything.”

Lisa B.

“We are forever grateful to Emily for taking care of our baby and home while we were gone! Our dog warmed up to and trusted her immediately and she sent us lots pictures, videos, and updates. She also took very good care of our home so it felt lovely when we returned home.”

Eloise M.

“I felt like my animals were very safe and secure in this couple’s hands. Very communicative and reassuring. I am planning on rebooking with them again. :)”

Taylor M.

“Cassie was awesome! She handled my anxious/shy pup and his high energy/no boundaries brother without a problem. I usually take them with me ad much as I can, so it’s been about 3 years since they’ve had a dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving them with a stranger, but Cassie seemed to really enjoy their company, kept in touch and followed all instructions. Came home to a clean house and two very happy pups! Will definitely book Cassie again!”

Linda N.

“Boone was actually depressed and looking for Taressa after we came home. He must’ve really loved her being there with him. She is a very sweet and caring woman. I would definitely love for her to sit with our Boone anytime.”

Cheri W.

“Hudson did an amazing job taking care of my sweet 12 year old beagle who sometimes can a little bit sassy. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying & was thankful for the updates & pictures..”

Kelly M.

“Peyton was so great with our pups! They can be a little skittish and she was able to get them out of their shells :) She was super laid back when we had issues with our home security system alarm. We would absolutely book her again!”

Alexa S.

“Kevin was prompt, communicative, and courteous. He was open to hearing all our instructions for our two ~60 lbs pups. One dog has mobility issues and Kevin was kind to his needs. They were well taken care of for their time with him and we would certainly rebook.”

Evan H.

“Melissa was the absolute BEST!!! We are “those people” who never leave home without their fur babies, and have a very short list of individuals that we would ever trust our babies with. Melissa not only met our expectations, she exceeded them. She was very patient with all of our precise instructions around caring for our 15 week old puppy, followed through with all of our preferences, sent us daily updates with photos and status, and was beyond lovely to work with. We came home to a clean/tidy home, fresh flowers and fruit from her garden and (most importantly) a healthy, HAPPY puppy. Melissa was reliable, responsive, personable, thoughtful, and SO SO loving towards our fur babies. If you are looking for ‘the one’ pet sitter whom you can leave your precious baby with and not have to worry about the care they are getting - look no further. Will rebook 100x over!!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Evelyn. I have been caring for animals while living on farms my whole life. I have a lifetime of experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, and goats. Ever since my teen years I have been trusted to house sit, pet sit, and babysit, frequently spending the night in peoples homes. I have also cleaned houses in the past and I have a tendency to leave homes cleaner than I found them :) I am nanny to an amazing family with a dog, I spend the night and care for their pup and kids regularly. Many people currently trust me in their homes with their pets and children! I have a warm personality, I am a conscious individual, and I pour a lot of love and care into everything I do. Blessings My schedule is open, I nanny for multiple families when it’s needed. First come first serve ❤️ I am available during the day, afternoons, evenings, and overnight. Also available on weekends. Ojai and surrounding areas Cats~ if they are indoor cats I will feed them as directed and offer them snuggles and play time when they’re up for it! For outdoor cats I will stay nearby and let them in and out as needed, making sure to bring them in at night if that’s in their usual flow. Dogs~ I love going on walks, I would love to walk your dog and take them to the park to catch balls and run around. I will feed them several times a day, I can make dog food or feed them their typical food in whatever daily flow you have established. When home with them I will snuggle them and give them lots of love! For any other animals I am happy to feed them and care for them as directed. I am open to watching goats and chickens.

“We loved Karen! You can tell she is just a natural with dogs. I left our dog knowing he was in amazing hands. She is an amazing communicator and just so trustworthy and friendly and filled with so much joy and excitment. Though I haven’t met her dog, Lolly, I knew she’d be good for our hyper pup. It’s always great for a dog to have a buddy. It sounded like they had a fun filled weekend and came home to a happy and sleepy pup. :) Can’t wait to have her back again!”

“Kalia is amazing! I am pretty sure my dog didn’t even miss us.”
