Pet Sitting in Ojala

About: I grew up with dogs and have long term fostered 4 of my own. 2 of which were puppies that I trained, and 1 being a senior dog. My experience with different age ranges has helped me understand the needs of pups at different stages of life. I absolutely love dogs and I am so excited to meet yours. I work part time in the evenings. You can find me during the day on the trail already so I’d love to have your fur babies accompany me! I’m privy to the needs of older or super energetic pups and can confidently say that when they are leashed up with me we will have a safe and great time.

“always the best!!”

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.

About: A lifelong animal lover with a passion for creating nurturing, safe, and joy-filled experiences for your furry companions. With a background in holistic wellness, conscious event facilitation, child support work, home and plant stewardship, and executive assisting, I bring a high level of attunement, reliability, and heart to all my pet-sitting adventures. Whether tending to a cozy home or spending quality time with your pet, I show up with presence, warmth, playfulness, and genuine love. I’ve always been drawn to animals for their unconditional love and vibrant spirits, and I make it my mission to ensure they feel just as seen, loved, and secure when you’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and energy levels—from energetic pups who need long walks to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. My intuitive, calm approach helps create a grounded and trusting environment. I also know how to adapt and attune to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s a midday walk to shake off some zoomies or a calming, sound-bath-like experience for an anxious pet, I tailor my care accordingly. Safety and communication are always a priority—you’ll receive heartfelt updates and thoughtful check-ins along the way. Rest assured, your beloved pets will be treated like family. I’m genuinely excited to meet your furry loved ones and share some sweet, soul-nourishing adventures together. I also offer experienced house-sitting and plant care services, so if you’re ever in need of in-home support, I’d be happy to help. I balance my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks or evening cuddles, I prioritize their routines while still having flexibility in my day. Caring for animals is a rewarding part of my week, and I love making it a special experience for them. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, fun environment where they feel safe and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything running smoothly, following feeding schedules, playing, or snuggling as needed. I ensure every pet feels comfortable and at ease, making them my top priority.

“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”

About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.

“Olivia has been a wonderful sitter for my cat! Always on time and generous with pics and feedback. He clearly warmed right up to her, I would gladly book her again. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. From guinea pigs, birds and large tortoises to 100 lb dogs and many animals in between. I will provide a loving 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 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.

About: Experienced, trained, and educated in wildlife biology, I have loved animals dearly and yearned to care for them all my life. Ive had many dogs throughout my life, rescuing them and giving them a loving home, and now have a sweet kitten named Tangerine. I’ve worked with both wild animals and many folk’s best friends. I have cared for fury friends of all kinds in many settings and in many places. I now have years of experience and many happy and returning clients. And, while I’m not a certified trainer, I do pride myself on training doggos or maintaining their training, the best I can. I love animals! I am an artist and designer, and my work is flexible and can often travel with me. I have developed the perfect flow, so that I can be with our fury friends when they need me, while also getting my work accomplished. I have stayed in many homes to care for pets. I find it makes the animals most comfortable to be home where they have their routine and their own familiar territory. I want them to be as safe, happy, and comfortable as possible, while their parents are away.

“This was our first experience with Rover, and Sidney exceeded all of our expectations in taking care of our two cats. She fed and played them and sent the most adorable photos and videos daily. It was a relief to trust that our fur babies were well taken care of. Will definitely be using Sidney 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: A personal tragedy brought me into the world of dog walking/sitting in NYC years ago and it has consequently brought much healing and peace into my life, along with the chance to meet amazing people and their beloved pets. It's been an eye-opening experience and I'm grateful for all the opportunities owners have given me to care for their beloved animals, so that they can tend to their loved ones and other parts of their lives. I've taken care of dogs and cats in NYC, Spain, Boulder and California and excited to continue this journey! I'm working from home (WFH) on an East Coast schedule, so I'm up early and available daily and weekly, depending on the needs of the client. Adaptable, attentive, and friendly, I can ensure that the animals are comfortable in their own setting and adhere to the routines of their owners as they see fit. I am reliable, punctual and respectful of the owner's homes and spaces.

About: Hello There! My name is Katie I have worked and have had 10+ years working in veterinary hospitals and dog grooming salons. This has given me the opportunity and experience with many breeds of dogs, dog behavior and dog needs. Along with growing up with my own dogs, cats, bunny, chickens and horses. I currently work a day job with flexible hours. This allows time in my regular schedule to remain flexible as well. Ongoing long-term is always great to build relationships and having a flexible schedule allows me to do so. I currently am not able to house pets at my current home. However I am able to pet sit in the comfort of your pets home.

“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: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their furry family members for over 12 years now. We have the perfect spot walkable to downtown Ojai, a great retreat with loving sitters. Our furry visitors get walked each morning and evening, with play time in the adjacent park each afternoon! Someone is always at home with them, and we can easily accommodate any special scheduling requests. Our large, completely fenced-in yard is safe, secure, shaded and has built in entertainment for our furry visitors, with views of the next-door park. We walk our dogs on pavement each day in beautiful downtown Ojai (no trail walks unless specifically requested). We work from home, so we are always on hand to make the transition easier. Note that we also offer pick up/drop off rides to local Ojai hotels for your convenience. We started dog care because our older King Charles Cavalier didn't like boarding with too many dogs. We treat each visitor as our own family dog, and book fewer dogs to ensure better experiences! Our repeat customers over the years have become part of the family. Let us care for your family member, too.
