Pet Sitting Ojai

About: Hi! I'm Sherrie. I'm the kind of pet sitter who sends photo updates, and may leave your home looking better than when you left. Originally from Hawaii and now based in Ojai, yet travel to you elsewhere is no problem! I've spent years caring for homes, animals, and all the little details that help owners relax while they're away. Dogs and Cats seem to like me. Whether your pet is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, a professional squirrel observer, I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. When you're away, I'll provide: • Pet care and companionship • Walks, playtime, and belly rubs (when approved by management) • Medication administration if needed • Home security checks • Regular photo updates My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your trip without worry. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. Looking forward to meeting your furry, feathered family member. I own my own company so normally have nice flexibility. I can do last minute work at times as well. Happy to discuss. Just ask! I will follow your lead on how to care for them on your property. I always like a solid list of information. Email is fine too

“Nicole is an amazing pet sitter! Great communication and very reliable. She was able to get one of our very shy cats to warm up to her. Nicole went above and beyond, even helping us with a household issue while we were out of town. Definitely recommend Nicole and we will hire her again!”

“Misty took great care of our cat Reishi and our plants, was thoughtful, communicative, and flexible when our needs changed. Grateful to have found her!!”

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.

“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!”

About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.

About: Lifetime of love and experience taking care of animals. From guinea pigs, birds and large tortoises to 100 lb dogs and many animals in between. I will provide a comfortable and safe family home, large fenced yard, two 30 minute walks/day, and infinite love. Don’t mind administering oral meds if needed. I work full time from home all days of the week/end and have a flexible schedule. Happy to provide morning and afternoon walks in a family friendly neighborhood. Your dog will get to stay in a loving family home and will have full access to large fenced yard with plenty of sunshine, grass and shade. Your dog will be pampered with attention, belly rubs and play time. Lots of sunny napping spots for when they want to chill.

About: I’ve taken care of medium-large dogs for the last 5 years. I’ve trained a puppy and feel very comfortable caring for them and know how important it is to get them out for their walks. I have 4 days off a week (varying days) that I’m very willing to spend time walking and visiting dogs. I enjoy runs myself so if the dogs are up for it we could go or just sit on the couch and relax. I can’t care for pets in my home as I only live in a studio, but I have lived in a house with a fenced in yard where dogs would go out. I have lived in an apartment with a puppy and got very used to going out frequently and running around at the dog parks

“Leanna was great per usual and is always a friendly face for our cat when we’re gone. We had some last minute travel changes due to the wildfires in Northern CA, and she was very accommodating and helpful. Thanks, Leanna!”

About: Hi, I’m Sharon—a proud “crazy dog mom” with two lovable rescue pups I’ve had for about 10 years. Trust me, I know how nerve-wracking it is to find someone who loves and cares for your dog as much as you do. That’s why I treat every pup like they are family. No request is too over-the-top for me. My own dogs have a multi-step dinner routine worthy of a Michelin star, so I’m fully prepared for quirky feeding schedules, bedtime rituals, or extra belly-rub requirements. I’ve cared for bouncy puppies, wise seniors, and everything in between. Whether your dog wants an all-day play session or a couch-potato cuddle marathon, I’ll match their energy. Right now, I offer drop-ins and walks. I work fully remote and normally end my work days early in the afternoon. I am currently available for drop-ins and walks after 2pm. On the weekends, I'm pretty flexible, I would just appreciate a couple days heads up if possible :) I always like to set up a Meet & Greet beforehand when and if time permits so you (and your dog!) can feel 100% confident. Trustworthy, reliable, and hopelessly dog-obsessed—that’s me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and spoil them like my own! I work fully remote and normally end my work days early in the afternoon. I am currently available for drop-ins and walks after 2pm. On the weekends, I'm pretty flexible, I would just appreciate a couple days heads up if possible :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all house rules, honor boundaries, and keep everything tidy. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care for your pet while leaving your home exactly as I found it.

About: I've had experience caring for and being around pets my whole life. From owning them myself to watching the neighbors dogs while they went on vacation. I believe i'm fully equipped to care for your fuzzy companion! I currently have a pretty open schedule and am flexible, easily able to provide an experience to meet your pet care needs with care and reliability. I will listen to your needs and am able to thoroughly follow instructions. My best interest is keeping you and your furry friends happy & cared for.

“Taressa was great, would hire again!”
