House Sitting Oxnard

About: We’re a dog-loving household based who recently relocated to Ventura, we settled into a cozy ground-floor one-bedroom in a super walkable neighborhood near the college—perfect for easy strolls and outdoor time. Our pup Momo is now 4 years old, friendly, playful, and loves having new companions around. We have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we truly treat every pet like part of the family. I work remotely most of the week (in-office just 2 days), so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My husband and I share pet care responsibilities, which means flexible availability and consistent care every day of the week. We enjoy getting outside—whether it’s neighborhood walks, beach time, or weekend hikes—and we’re happy to include your dog in those adventures if it fits their routine and energy level. At home, we offer a safe, calm environment with lots of love, playtime, and structure. For care in your home, we’re attentive to your pet’s established routine and preferences, and can provide reliable visits throughout the day and week. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around for regular walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We build our daily schedule around making sure our guests get plenty of exercise, attention, and engagement. My husband and I share responsibilities, so your pet will have consistent care and companionship every day of the week. Safety and trust are our top priorities. In our home, we provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always on-leash, and we’re mindful of safe routes in our neighborhood. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow your routines and preferences closely—from feeding schedules to exercise, medications, and any special instructions. We’re respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. Communication is key for us, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Victoria was amazing! She sent so many pictures and was always on time. Appreciate how great she was with our two kittens and would definitely have her back.”

About: Hi! My name is Michelle, and caring for animals has been a big part of my life for many years. I’ve been providing professional pet sitting and dog walking services throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties since 2009 through my own pet sitting business. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make it a priority to treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m very reliable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and homes. Many of my clients have trusted me with their animals and houses for years because they know I take my responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with large and strong dogs, multiple pets, administering medications if needed, and maintaining regular routines that keep pets happy and stress-free. Outside of pet care, I enjoy being active outdoors, so walks on neighborhood paths or local beaches are something I truly enjoy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have full availability to dedicate my time to caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent attention for walks, visits, feeding routines, and playtime. I genuinely enjoy structuring my day around animals’ needs and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m not currently able to host pets in my home, but I’m happy to provide care in your home where your pets feel most comfortable. I focus on maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’m good with dogs. I’m also very patient and interactive with them. No longer have my own but I’ll treat your doggie like my own. I’m am currently working nights during the week so I have time in the morning for some walks or some hikes. Weekends schedule always changes. Previously I’ve dog sat and at the same time house sat while clients were out of town. I’m very cautious and trustworthy as well very vigilant of my surroundings.

“We cannot say enough good things about Gavin! We had a last minute request due to an unexpected death in the family. Our regular sitters were not available but recommended we reach out to Gavin. He responded quickly to our request, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. He communicated frequently with updates and we could see that our girl was getting the best care. We will be reaching out to Gavin again!!”

About: I’m the sitter for you if you want someone who actually LOVES what they do. From the moment I meet your furry friend to the second we part, I take care of them as my own and prioritize their comfort and fun time! Your baby will be safe, happy, and cared for with me, and I have loyal clients who assure the same. Since mine passed away, I’ve taken care of strays, but I still love having those lovely personalities panting around. That’s why I do this; I believe in great dog-sitting care. I am punctual with meal times, love to run and play, clean up, and I love to cuddle/bond with my new little friends. I go above and beyond for my pets and their owners, and I like to get to know them as my own. I welcome new and returning clients and have earned their loyalty with consistency and dedication to my work. Hope to have you join the pack soon! Whenever I have a day off that I don’t have plans on I head over to the Ventura Animal Shelter to donate some of my time and attention to lovely animals. I would love to be able to spend time with dogs since at my current stage in life can’t afford one. ❤️ When taking care of pets in the homes of others, a lot of trust goes into place. I’d be glad to take on that trust.

About: I've cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life; dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and fish, to name a few. I raised my German Shepherd/Husky mix Misti from a puppy, handling potty training and basic commands. I also care for my senior cat, Sam, who is 12 years old! I love walks, hikes, play, nature, and enrichment. I even trained my cat to high five! Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I'm currently available full-time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or specific timing needs. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking all in your pet's own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow client routines closely and will provide updates throughout my visits. Your home and pet will be treated with care and respect.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for the past 7 years, and for the last 2 years I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Through this, I’ve had the chance to work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy! I work a 9–5 as an engineer, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and all weekend. I live in a safe, gated community, which gives pets an extra layer of security when they’re with me. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always make their safety my top priority—keeping a close eye on them during walks, making sure leashes and harnesses are secure, and giving them a comfortable, stress-free environment.

“Dakota is fantastic!! This is her second time watching Nash, my 11-month-old golden retriever. She’s the first person I ask now when I need someone to stay with him. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and spending time with them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with her! She’s friendly, communicative and reliable! She’s my go-to sitter for Nash!”

“Carissa was quick to respond to our messages and super flexible when our schedule had to change. We are thankful for her help with our three fur babies. We will definitely be using her again ?”

About: I love animals and i’ve always loved animals since I was a little girl. Any chance I got to be able to play with our dog, take him on a walk or even just to feed him I was always right there. Every morning before work I make my cat his breakfast meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water for hydration). Play with him for at least 5-10 minutes so he doesn’t feel ignored. Once coming home from work he is greeted with cuddles and play time and a treat until it’s time for his dinner meal (3/4 can of wet food with added water & Omega-3 oil). I make sure to scoop my cat’s litter box daily as to not stress him out and to keep a clean litter box. Litter changes weekly. I have always had pets growing up. Ranging from dogs, cats, frogs, turtles, fish, etc. Every pet is different so i’ve had to care for each animal in different ways. Getting to know your pets is always fun and also important in knowing how to care for them and keep them happy and comfortable. Tending to your pets needs and wants such as daily/weekly water bowl/fountain changes, learning their food preferences, toy preferences, maintaining a nice environment for them is super essential in pet care and overall happiness.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home and taking care of friends and neighbors pets growing up. I love to exercise and I think dog walking is a great way to do so and makes it more enjoyable. I'm currently working part time a few days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit, dog walk, ect. My availability is flexible. I think it's important for all animals to be taken care of with love and kindness. I'll follow any rules you may have and direction or instructions.

About: I love pets! I’ve had cats and dogs in my life. Our animals are like family and I would love to help take good care of yours. I am happy to help out in the early mornings, or evenings! I usually work from 11am-6:00pm but I am free before and after that. I currently have a cat and I make sure I always have her fed, her space cleaned, and give pets. Lots of the cats I’ve cat sat for I will make sure to keep the inside if they are inside cats or follow instructions on how to get them inside if they are allowed outside.

“Excellent! Great communication before and during her stay. Always responsive and anticipating questions or issues. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I now have one of my very own! I grew up taking care of my family dogs as well as caring for pets of my friends and family. From professional class and my own experience I learned and succeeded in training puppies (: I have a hybrid work schedule so I am very flexible and can help with your pets potty breaks, treat breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles (: My apartment has an enclosed dog area and I have a sweet dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and we are right by the beach for great exercise!

“Kristina stayed with my 3 dogs in my home for 6 days while I was out of town and I felt confident they were getting spoiled and well cared for. She even brought a stroller for my 2 elderly girls to ride in on walks and sent me pictures and videos each day. Would definitely recommend, thanks Kristina!”
