“My husband and I highly recommend Peggy. We have 2 cats, and one is very anxious and she ALWAYS runs away when people come over… but not when Peggy came over to meet them on Friday, before we left for our trip. I was shocked when Althea didn’t bolt, and she also got down from the top level of the cat tree and sat down in the living room to observe and listen as we talked with Peggy. 1st time, ever, so it was a direct response to Peggy’s calm and friendly energy We had to attend a friend’s wedding near San Diego, and felt very confident that our “kids” were in very capable hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
About: Volunteered at shelters and vets for over two decades. Specialize in small to medium pets and care of all kinds to include baths and meds if needed. I currently have a pug, American eskimo, and a Siamese cat. I'm currently retired, working part time at Oxnard School District, and an empty-nester, so I can provide lots of love to fur kids of all sizes and temperaments. I'm very flexible! I ensure all safety measures are in place, priorities provided for any needed medications and daily routines. Lots of attention and exercise without distractions to ensure a safe reunion with their family.
About: I am very reliable, and flexible. I am understanding that sometimes life can get busy and everyone needs a village when life gets too hectic. I am free afternoon/nights week days and all day weekends. I have a full time job monday-friday from 7:30am-5pm. I am flexible if need be I usually care for pets in client’s home, don’t change there routine, and try to keep the same schedule for them. I let them be.
About: What sets me apart? I bring over 10 years of experience, a heart full of love for animals, and a calm, dependable energy that pets (and their humans!) appreciate. I’ve walked shelter pups of all shapes and sizes, cared for senior dogs who need extra TLC, and helped with playful puppies learning the ropes. Whether your dog wants cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing stroll, I’ve got it covered. I am like a fun aunt they can’t wait to see again! :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work in a school setting, so I have a more flexible schedule, especially during the summer, when I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I also have two dogs of my own who are very loved and well cared for, so giving animals attention, affection, and consistency is part of my everyday life. Your pets will be treated like family! I’m home with my pets most of the day, so they enjoy a consistent routine filled with care and attention. We start with morning potty breaks, followed by walks, playtime, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Meals and treats are given on schedule, and depending on the day, we may go on an extra walk or just relax together at home. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family.
About: With a degree in Animal Sciences and as a veterinary assistant, I’ve worked at rescues, clinics, and volunteered at shelters, providing compassionate care to animals in various environments. Pet care is a key part of my daily routine. I care for my two cats, turtle, and rabbit, ensuring they get proper food, attention, and exercise. In my own home and my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, comfort, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. For cats, I maintain a calm, stress-free environment, ensuring they have plenty of space, food, and litter care. With rabbits and turtles, I make sure their habitats are clean, safe, and have the appropriate temperature and nutrition. I keep a consistent routine for all pets, providing plenty of affection and playtime, while also respecting each pet’s personality and preferences.
About: The same traits that have served me well in taking care of special needs people , helps me serve the needs of pets who can’t speak for themselves. Paying attention to their moods and expressions and eating habits gives me confidence and assurance they are happy and healthy, or when it could be time to call for help I work mostly weekends part time so I have lots of time to share with pets, The most I would need to be away from your pet is 4 hours. I love to talk to animals sweetly and greet them as friends and family , it makes me feel good to know they have all the food ,Water, meds and exercise they need.
“Richelle is fantastic! I have a very shy cat who never really warms up to anyone but me. Within the first day she was able to get pics of her and by the end of the week my cat was her best buddy. You can tell she really cares and understands animals. Will definitely use again if the need arises.”
About: Ive have all kinds of pets i do very well taking care of them such as feeding potty training bathing and playing with them. My dogs coco and oso are both babies but super super friendly both potty trained and they are allowed on their own couch to sleep on. They run around the house playing with eachother and they would love another buddy to play with Currently taking a break from work so i have a great availability i can take same day bookings for any services! Day and night or overnight. I have a large fenced yard cut grass and its clean. Lots of plants but they are safe for dogs. My home is always cool so no dog overheats garage is mostly where my dogs love to stay in and its safe as well. I have leashes and harnesses of different sizes incase it’s forgotten!
About: I've had cats my whole life and only recently gotten a dog in the last 5 years but that 1 dog has resulted in 2 years working at a doggy daycare, 3 additional dogs in our household and with 1 of those pups being differently-abled and using a wheelchair! I do work full-time during the week but I'd absolutely love to help entertain and walk your pup on the weekend in case you have plans or I'd love to come sit with your kitty cat in case you they need some company! I prefer to come take care of your pets in your home environment to minimize the stress that they may feel - keeping your pet in their home environment will result in much better pet sitting for your baby's stress levels and I love that!
“First time we have used Riley and she was wonderful. Oliver was a happy clean cat when we got home. Riley communicated and let us know how he was doing and sent pics. Also did a few other things like feed our fish and get our mail. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely use her for any trips she’s available !!”
About: I work at a doggy daycare where I’m in charge of watching, playing, feeding, and bathing, many dogs. I have learned to act quick on my feet while still being proactive. I am a student and a part time worker but my schedule is still pretty flexible. I like to hang around dogs whenever I can. *If I don’t answer right away I’m probably working but I’m still available unless I text otherwise! I have a barking dog of my own so he is a vocal player but does not bite. If needed he can be separated from your dog so I am able to focus on your dogs needs and wants. I am easily trained so I can work around your dogs needs. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule but I still have a dog of my own and I work at a doggy daycare. So I practically see dogs everyday and care for them. I am glued to them 24/7. I like to feel secure so I am often just playing, resting, stimulating them the whole time I’m in the clients home or at my home.

About: About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs, horses, and other animals. I’ve always been the go to pet person in my family and friend group, and caring for animals is something that just comes naturally to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. What I Bring to the Table: Lots of experience taking care of my own dogs and helping friends with theirs feeding, walking, bathing, and lots of playtime Comfortable giving meds, cleaning up messes, and doing the little things that keep pets happy and healthy I really understand animal body language and behavior, and I’m good at picking up when something’s off Big believer in positive reinforcement and giving animals the time and space to adjust and trust I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their routines and quirks A Bit About My Own Dog: I have a super energetic dog who lives for playing fetch and chasing his ball. He loves people, loves being pet, and brings so much joy wherever he goes. Taking care of him every day has taught me a lot about consistency, training, and how to keep high energy dogs both mentally and physically engaged. Volunteer Work: I’ve also volunteered at a local animal shelter, helping clean, feed, walk, and socialize the animals. I enjoyed spending one on one time with the dogs, giving them love and attention, and helping out at events to find them forever homes. I currently work from home ! So I will have plenty of time to play with your pups :) They will be always supervised. :) I have a fenced yard with a lot of space and I friendly Labrador to keep you fur baby company, and a doggy door so they can come in and out the house when they want :)

I currently work part-time, so I’m not able to accommodate daycare or boarding. However, I can certainly stop by to check in on your furry friend or take them out for a walk when I’m available! Inquiries for house sitting are also welcome! When it comes to any services offered, I want to make sure that your pet and I are safe at all times! Aside from safety, their comfort is very important to me. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable under my care!

“Meagan is AMAZING! We have five spoiled dogs, two of them are not people dogs and usually do not like others coming around. We usually have to crate them when unfamiliar people come over.

Meagan is the only one we will use to watch our dogs. She is THE BEST!”

Oxnard pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn't be happier with the care Kallista, provided for our six cats while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really impressed us was the extra effort she put into making sure we felt connected to our kitties while we were away—sending us daily updates and photos, even managing to capture pictures of our shyest cats, which meant the world to us. Her communication was excellent, and her detailed daily reports reassured us that our beloved pets were in good hands. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worry. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy pet sitter!
Tonisha was a life saver! We needed a pet-sitter in an emergency for our cat, and she came through! She also made us aware through video that our cat was sick. He ended up being fine, but she helped by giving him fresh food and comfort. We would absolutely use her again!
We’d love to book Ross and Jess again! Kimiko and Musashi were in good spirits upon our return, a sign of well cared for kitties. The photo updates were reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our vacation, especially knowing that Musashi was getting his insulin injections. Thank you so much for treating them like your own!
