Pet Sitting in Santa Margarita

“Vincent loves Helona! She is so cheerful and compassionate that Vincent knows he’s in good hands immediately. I can tell he’s in a better mood on the days that she comes. Great communication, reliable and trustworthy, we hope to have her around for awhile!”

“Joshuah is consistent with communication and our cat seems relaxed when we return from traveling. Really appreciate the info and photos that Joshuah provides! Also really appreciate that he is willing to hang out on the floor and let our old cat sit on his lap!”

About: I’ve been the go to dog sitter for my friends & family for years! I am very experienced in large dogs/strong pullers, as I have a 130lb bully at home. I have had dogs & cats in my home all of my life, from crazy puppies/kittens to seniors living out their chill golden years. I’d love nothing more to become buddies with your pet and would treat them as my own! I believe pets are family members and deserve to be treated as such. I have experience with reactive or mildly aggressive dogs and know a few tricks to help them feel comfortable when meeting me for the first time or when out on walks seeing other dogs. I think keeping to your pets normal routine will help them feel more at ease especially with the stress of their parents being away. I recently moved here from Oregon, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am willing to work with whenever you would need me to drop by. My dog is my baby! He just turned 2 and still acts like a puppy. We have a fenced backyard, but go on daily walks to make sure we get all the energy out. He his crate trained and goes in there when we aren’t home, otherwise is welcomed on the bed and couch.

“Lauren did an amazing job of watching my cat for a week! She was easy to communicate with and she sent lots of photos and updates, I totally recommend her for any of your pet-watching needs.”

About: I have hands-on pet care experience for two dogs, a Rottweiler and a pit bull mix, at home and volunteering 3 years caring for adoptable dogs for Animal Rescue Recon including daily feeding, walking, and clean up with varying temperaments, energy levels, and needs. As a full-time student at Cal Poly, my schedule allows me to be available Friday through Sunday to dedicate my time to feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable care for dogs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide timely feeding, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor each pets’ behavior, follow any specific instructions, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

“Mindy was a joy to work with. She came to our home for a meet and greet and it was clear that she was very responsible, accountable, and good with dogs! Our Bella liked her from the start. I’d highly recommend Mindy for pet care!”

About: Empty nester missing my beloved large breed dog. Offering dedicated, loving, in-home care for your furry family . I am also able to provide other small chores to keep home in order. I teach at a local high school full time. I would only be able to care for pet before and after school hours and the weekend. Only offering house sitting as I do not have a fenced in yard. I love taking dogs for walks as well as snuggling. My great pyr in my profile pic passed last year and I would like to have some dog time while I can but also have freedom to travel.

“Mary was very communicative and diligent, highly recommend her as your pet sitter.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.

About: Loving Care in a Spacious Home — Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place! 🐾 Hi there! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will get all the focus and care they deserve. My home is spacious with a large yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies! Plus, we’re just a short walk from the local dog park for extra social fun and exercise. Whether your dog loves cuddles, long walks, or lounging in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. You can count on a calm, safe, and happy environment — where every tail wag is welcomed and every pup is family. ❤️ I work from home so I will give them constant attention and supervision throughout the day and the kids will make sure they get their energy out at night! I have a large yard to run around and play! No pets in the home for a more intimate experience and 4 happy kids to entertain them!

“Great job by Brittany! It was comforting and a pleasure having her stop in to check on our pets. We'll definitely book her again should the need arise.”

About: I have a lot of knowledge and love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Feeding, walking, playing, and quality time are all up my alley. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and cats. I am a college student at San Luis Obispo, so I am happy to check in on pets between classes, do early morning or evening walks and overnight care on the weekends. If you are comfortable, I have a car and can take furry friends on outings as well. In clients homes, I am willing to feed furry friends, walk them, play with them and spend time together! I am very attentive and detail oriented so you can trust that instructions will be followed to the letter, and no potential issues will go unnoticed.

About: Growing up, I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember. Puppies and kitties for over 40 yrs, and seniors as well. I've trained each and every one I have been blessed to own. My dogs have been welcomed in many places and the cats that I have had and now own are very well balanced. Pet care is daily in my life since I've owned dogs, cats and reptiles. I wouldn't have it any other way. Animals are very much a part of my life. I have 2 fenced patios, and regularly take my dog on walks. My dog takes daily trips to the local dog parks. I even walk the kitty, on harness.

About: Hi my name is Robyn. I absolutely love animals! Especially dogs... but I do love all animals. I have been around animals all of my life. I have always had dogs, sometimes a cat until I had children (my son is very allergic), I owned a horse, fish and a gecko (her name was Brittney Spears :) my daughters named her!). I hope to own alpacas one day they are so cute! My kids tease me- they call me Aliza Thornbury- its was a cartoon they used to watch when they were younger... they are adults now. I would love to care for your canine family member(s). I will walk them, play with them, talk to them, nurture and love them like my own & like you do. I am the “doting auntie”…. Loving on your fur babies. They will miss you naturally and know that with all of the affection & attention they receive from me, if rom my experiences they are distracted and very happy during their time spent with me. Being in my loving home far surpasses what a boarding facility can provide. Apples to oranges. People tell me I am very good with animals. Its natural. Regarding House sitting: am also available to bring your mail in, do projects, organize and clean while you are away or at work whatever the case may be. I am open to discuss. Regarding how far I will travel to your house: If I am staying for the 4 days or more I am happy to travel greater distances. I have house/pet sit in LA county, Ventura County & Orange County in the past On a daily basis ideally somewhere closer to where I live and surrounding areas would be more realistic. Again, I am open to discuss each individual situation. Re: Rate- open to discuss as it depends on where - how far I am traveling to your house and length of time- we could discuss a weekly flat rate as well. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family! (your pets) :) xoxo Robyn PS. I would greatly appreciate it if all clients would bathe their furry babies before they drop them off to me or let me know that they are in need of a bath and I can provide this service on the first day with me. Thank you very much. 🐾😊 I am home full time. I am 100% available to give your pets tons of love , care & attention with lots of play time, cuddles & tummy rubs. *** HOUSE SITTING/PET SITTING IN YOUR HOME:.

I know from my own experiences with travelling, it's very nice to return home to a tidy , freshly cleaned home. My goal is for you to have as little as stress as possible upon your return. Per some of my clients requesting have cleaned out the food in their refrigerators and ordered all fresh food for them to return home to. Most people love this because it's one less errand to do after returning from a vacation or time away from the home. It's a nice convenience and it's my pleasure to do this for my clients. I am experienced in managing your home while you are away please feel free to create a list of "to do's" that may need to be taken care of. Bottom line is that I am here to make your life easier and as stress free as possible. We will discuss Details prior to my stay to ensure that all of your needs & wishes are met. It's about your happiness & satisfaction. 😊 I would never let your canine family member out of my site. When we go go on walks I always use their leash. I'm very protective and aware of our surroundings. I wash all the sheets& blankets daily to keep their relaxing /sleep areas fresh , clean & as sanitized as possible.

The love I give and the love I recieve is incredibly therapeutic. 🐾 I thoroughly enjoy the time I spend with each pet guest. Brings much joy. When your pets are with me we tend to hang out on my sofa or on my bed. Typically it's a cozy & cuddly. Most often nestling up to me. I love it. I don't use crates unless the owner prefers.

I have cozy throw blankets , dog bed,( always washed , sanitized & fresh ) lots of toys, bully sticks, balls, rope toy , healthy treats, bowls for food & water. When we go outside to play, potty and walks I always have your pet on a leash for their safety & protection. There is an enclosed fenced locked area here that I am able to access to allow the dogs to run and play off leash. It’s not a dog park so there will not be other dogs there. It’s basically a private area and the all the dogs love it! It’s about 75 yards in length & approximately 20 feet wide . All grass. We also take walks to the pool where there’s a rock jacuzzi and lots of grass around the pool. Dogs are welcome to be there with me on their leash and they all seem to really enjoy it . Your dogs safety is my priority.
