House Sitting Santa Paula

About: I was born into a family with Saint Bernards, and over my lifetime have owned seven Saints plus an English Mastiff, a pittie mix, a cat, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I've been described by friends and family as a dog whisperer, and I can't help but make friends with any dog I see. I've been dogsitting for friends and family on the side for years now, doing overnight visits, extended stays, and drop-ins for potty, walks, and meals. I love cats and dogs of all sizes, but I've always had a soft spot for the giant breeds. I was a cross country runner and still live an active lifestyle, so long walks and runs are no problem. I can also do transportation to vet visits, doggy day care or walks at dog parks, etc. I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family members! I am widely available for scheduling. I have a few steady clients with regular visits, but I can work with you and figure out the best schedule! As a lifelong animal owner, I understand the needs of many animals, as well as the feelings that owners have towards their furry friends. My initial clients were friends, but through the established trust and word of mouth recommendations, that list has grown. When doing overnight or extended stays, I will always bring in the mail, take out the trash, and perform any other household duties you may need. I've cared for sick dogs, handled emergency situations, and taken care of urine and other medical samples for my clients. Whatever you need, I can accommodate.

“Victoria was amazing! I told her that I would like regularly updates because it would gave me more peace and she gave the extra mile. She made sure I was aware of how my dogs were doing at all times, making me feel calm about leaving my dogs with someone else. Cannot describe how sweet she was with them! Highly highly recommend her! You will not regret it.”

“Sage was great! She stayed overnight at our home with our 6 month old pup, Oakley, and immediately put us at ease. She was communicative from the start, made sure we went over all care details before we left, and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout the stay, she sent several check-in texts with photos, which we truly appreciated, especially since this was our first night away. She paid attention to detail, followed Oakley’s routine, and left our home neat and clean. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!

“Dakota is the BEST dog sitter! Dakota took great care of the dogs and house, and she communicates so well. In the past I’ve felt anxious leaving the dogs behind, but her communication and attention to the dogs helped me feel so much better. She is great!!”

About: I’ve helped rescue two dogs so far within these past few years. Animals have really brightened up my life. I love caring for pets any size and age. My old co workers would call me the doggy whisperer because I liked talking to the dogs that would come in with their owners and the dogs seem to take a liking to me. I’m not sure why dogs gravitate to me. I think it has to do with how much I appreciate all the love they have to give. They truly are little fury blessings. I am grateful to come in to contact with pets. I enjoy making them smile from ear to ear. With great responsibility, there also comes great rewards with having pets. I’m here to help anybody in need of a dog/house sitter! My availability is currently open anytime Monday through Sunday, day or night! I also am available for holidays and all summer long if you need me. I am currently only open to house sitting inside your home or pet sitting in your home. Temporarily in a transition of moving so, my place currently isn’t available for dog boarding.

“July 16, 2026 I contacted Julianne when my current pet sitter had informed me she was moving. She was on time for our meet and greet as well as our departure time for our trip. She was in constant contact with me sending pictures of Bogey and informing me of how they were doing throughout our trip. Needless to say I was very happy how things were going. When we returned, Bogey was very happy and calm, our sheet and towels cleaned and replaced and the house was immaculate. I we’ll definitely use Julianne as my pet sitter again. Sharon H.”

About: Helped take care of a geriatric dog who was incontinent and lost the use of her legs in the last year of her life. I have had animals in my home all my life, from dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I usually work a couple of days a week for half days at Michaels. I am available for check-ins most mornings and in the afternoons. I live in a condo with tons of space for running around. I have two of my own cats, and any boarders would have to be fine with them. My cats have their space. I respect any habits and boundaries you have at your house for your pet. I can brush and clean up after the pet, and play their favorite game.

About: With many years of experience caring for cats, I offer loving, reliable boarding in my home or overnight care in yours! I treat every cat like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to become your cat’s new favorite sitter and someone you can always trust! ❤️ I make pet care a priority in my routine and love spending quality time with the animals I care for. I know being away from their owner can be stressful, so I make an extra effort to help each cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat them like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible while their person is away. Your cat’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I understand that some cats want lots of affection while others need time and space to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and let them build trust with me at their own pace. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.

“We will absolutely book with Kallista again! She did a fantastic job. We knew right away when we met her that she was the right fit for our home and family. It can be a crazy home too. We have two cats and two dogs that stay home when we are away. One of the dogs is a 75-pound Pit who can be stubborn, and she did great with him. One of the dogs needed oral medication. Nothing phased her.”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, but developed a love for it at 12. I've cared for many dogs from friends and family throughout the years, including our family dog. I'm comfortable and familiar with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, bathing, giving meds, and giving lots of love and attention! I'm responsible, patient, and attentive and my goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and healthy! Am currently unemployed, so open schedule! Available for all needs including drop ins, walks, pet sitting, etc. Will update when my schedule becomes more full! I take pet safety very seriously and will always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their habits, moods, and needs. I’ll make sure they always have plenty of food & water, love, and attention. I follow each owner's instructions and schedule and keep a close eye on pets. If pet sitting, I always keep the environment clean and organized and always supervise. When on walks, I always take precautions and stay alert for any situation, and follow any instructions if given and will always keep you updated. Safety is always no. 1 priority! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I always treat & love them like my own.

About: I bring 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, from energetic younger dogs to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. My experience also includes caring for an elderly dog with blindness, which taught me the importance of consistency, familiarity, and adapting care to each dog's individual needs. What sets me apart? I'm a natural homebody! I genuinely enjoy spending time at home, which means more companionship, attention, and quality time for your furry family members. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'm happy to follow their established routine. I also understand that caring for someone's dog means being trusted with their home. I respect household instructions, communicate clearly, and provide photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and loved in their own familiar environment. More companionship, less time alone! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. As a natural homebody, I genuinely enjoy spending time at home, making overnight house-sitting a great fit for my lifestyle. While I occasionally step out for the gym, appointments, or errands, I generally spend much of my day at home. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'm available for weekday and weekend stays, including extended bookings and holidays. I always discuss each dog's routine and needs with their family beforehand to make sure we're a good fit. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my priorities. I provide care in your home, where your dog can remain in their familiar surroundings and maintain their regular routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, household rules, and any specific care requirements you share. I pay attention to secure doors, gates, and leashes, and I'm mindful of each dog's individual temperament and comfort level. With experience caring for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs and a dog with visual impairment, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to their needs. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. You can expect clear communication, regular photo updates, and a responsible, attentive presence while you're away.

“Michelle is amazing! She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the entire stay. Never once had to worry about how our girl was doing ☺️🐾”

“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”

“Curt was everything we needed in a sitter and so much more. He scheduled a meet and greet before an extended stay with us and took the time to assess our needs. We have 2 larger dogs one of which is a little reactive and he handled it so well and understood corrective strategies. Other dog is older with a pill regime and needs extra assistance with stairs. Curt followed our care plan to a t and kept us in the loop throughout the booking. I feel as if we have found our new go to person. He was kind and gracious, would rebook anytime.”

About: I have cared for hundreds of cats and dogs of all different ages, breeds and activity levels. I have experience administering medications and performing wellness checks. My experience comes from working at the Thousand Hills Pet Resort here in San Luis Obispo, my studies as an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO, and raising my own animals. At home, I have a beautiful German Shepherd, a cuddly Queensland Heeler, and a shy but adorable Whippet, along with two sweet and lovable cats. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is relatively flexible when I am not traveling (I try to keep my availability as accurate as possible) shoot me a message and we’ll make it work! Thanks 😊 I value respect for you, your pet, and your home. I am honest, attentive and mindful of my environment in an effort to ensure an experience as safe and as enjoyable as possible.

“Ari was outstanding and took great care of our three spoiled pups as well as our tortoise and fish. She sent photos every day and the entire menagerie was healthy and happy on our return.”

“Gabrielle was wonderful with our pups! We had to leave town on very short notice, but she made sure our dogs didn't have to feel the stress like we did.”
