Cat Sitting Somis

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have years of experience working with large dogs with anxiety and high energy, especially German Shepherds. I have been trained in reconditioning and desensitization training for anxious/traumatized dogs. I also love working with small and medium dogs. I am very attuned to the body language of cats and dogs and am attentive to their nervous system to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible. I can also do most of my work remotely so I can be with your pets even more. I can be available most days and nights. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whatever that may look like. I know that when you are away, that can be more stressful for your pet so I try to do whatever I can to make your pet more relaxed and happy. If I am house sitting overnight, I will clean any dishes I have used, launder any sheets or towels if I am able and generally leave a tidy space for you to return to.

“As always, Kaleigh is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely attentive to our somewhat fickle kitty. We love being able to travel without worry knowing that our pet is well cared for- Thank you again Kaleigh!😽”

“Michelle took great care of my kitties! We came back to them in such great spirits they probably didn’t miss us at all! She spent plenty of time playing and giving them affection.”

“Melissa was great! She communicated with me and I loved the pictures while I was out of town. Malibu was happy to see me when I got home. We will use Melissa again!”

“Alejandra was wonderful! She sent me pictures everyday with a short update on how the kittens were doing. She was very thorough and I would most definitely choose her again :)”

About: I spent my entire life with cats and dogs and I honestly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, i've cared for everything from newborn kittens that needed bottle feeding to senior cats and dogs who required extra patience, medications and specialized care. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for pets with ongoing medical needs. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I've rescued several older cats and dogs because I believe they deserve just as much love and comfort in their golden years. I know every pet has their own personality. Some are playful and social, while others are shy,anxious or simply needs someone who understands that trust takes time. I will take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I will take care of them as if they were my own. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax, knowing they're in good hands! I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to devote to you're animals besides my own. I can work my schedule around most days and times. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust and keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will carefully follow all feeding instructions, medications, schedules, walking routines, and any special care directions provided by you. I always make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, and I will closely monitor your pet during walks, playtime, and feeding.

“Kaitlin was great! She took on caring for our two dogs last minute and was very accommodating to our needs. Recommend her for your pet care need!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I’ve lived with animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I own cats, and many of my friends have dogs and cats that I’ve helped take care of, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own pets every day, which includes feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. I plan my schedule around pet care, so I’m used to being consistent, on time, and attentive. Because of this, it’s easy for me to fit pet sitting, walking, and check-ins into my routine and give each pet the time and care they need. I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or cleanup care, and lots of attention. I respect the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and house rules. I always keep the environment clean and make sure pets are supervised and never left feeling stressed or ignored.

“Emily was fantastic - completely trust all of our dogs with her and will definately be using Emily next time we head out of town. Highly recommended!”

About: I've taken are of my neighbors' pets and would do check-ins every hour to two hours including feeding them and playing with their pets. I'm currently home for Summer break, so I'm available almost every day at any time. I prefer afternoons, but I'm fine with mornings or evenings. To care for my pets in my own home, I make sure they have plenty of water and let them out at least every 1-2 hours every day. I also make sure to play with them plenty and give them plenty of love and kisses!

“Curt is a superstar sitter! We’ve been booking for daily drop in visits for over a year and he's been a massive help to us. Curt is reliable, responsible and loving with our dogs. We especially appreciate the surprise toys he often brings our pups on his visits!”

About: Dog, cat, parrot and fish owner for 10+ years (and a couple frogs as well 🐸 ) Patient and attentive, I want to give your animals the love they deserve while you’re away!! I work full time, so am available for drop ins and walks in the late afternoon/evenings and weekends! Happy to book last minute to meet your needs:) I am attentive and prioritize my animals’ comfort and safety, and pay close attention to the needs they are communicating. Your baby will be well cared for, the way I’d treat my own 🥰

“Kathleen arrived on time, devoted the full half hour to Kalea. Our dog is nervous having recently had surgery and is in pain. Kalea opened up, trusting Kathleen. She was able to get massaging and some deeper rubs even some prom moves.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my fair share of experience with a wide range of animals. I love all kinds of pets, creatures, critters, you name it! I believe all pets deserved to be treated with love and care. I helped raise our family puppies growing up, so I am familiar with potty training and kennel and leash training. I am familiar with strict regimes and medication application if needed. I also am quite strong (not to toot my own horn) but if needed, I am comfortable lifting geriatric dogs no greater than 80lbs. Hi, my name is Maddi and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs. I’m 27 and grew up in San Clemente, CA, where my family and I always had our labs by our side whether it was at the beach, on a hike, or camping under the stars. I am free in the mornings and afternoons for walks, and can squeeze in a beach day if your pets likes to go swimming! My work schedule is dynamic, but for most given days I can dedicate two-three hours for walks, cuddles, whatever else you could need. As an active, outdoorsy person, I know the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged. I have hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I treat every animal like my own, showering them with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or a weekend of pet sitting, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am familiar and have experience training my family puppies, so if needed I can stick with a strict regimen. I will treat your pet with the utmost caution when it comes to walking in public/neighborhoods. I respect that not all dogs/animals are friendly but deserve to be outside as well, so I tend to walk on the opposite side of the street when passing another pet or person. I am also familiar with socialization and reading dog's social behaviors. At home, I make sure to double check that all exists are secured before I leave and that the house is locked before heading out. While I am indoors with pets, I will give them my undivided attention and love, as well as making sure they are well fed and have plenty of water for when they will be left alone. I will do whatever necessary to make sure that you and your pet feel safe and secure, and most of all happy!

“Kimberly is awesome! She takes great of the pups and clearly cares for them. We always feel comfortable when we are away knowing that Kimberly will care for dogs as if they were her own.”

Andrew M.

“Absolutely wonderful!! I needed someone who had to micromanage my ancient cat and overly friendly dog. I was ecstatic that the old man just loved Maureen. He usually hides away but Maureen was so patient and naturally knew how to handle them. I couldn’t have been more at peace after her first visit. Highly recommend her. You can’t go wrong with her 🎉🙌🏻”

About: Hi! I'm Gabby, a recent CSU Channel Islands graduate with a B. A. in Psychology. I'll be starting my Master's in Counseling Psychology (MFT emphasis) at California Lutheran University this fall. I'm currently looking for part-time dog walking, dog boarding, and drop-in visits that work well with my graduate school schedule. I've loved animals my whole life and began volunteering with Ventura County Animal Services as soon as I turned 18, where I volunteered for about three years. I also started pet sitting in 2019 and have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house and pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home. I have two female Labradoodles and two cats, so any dogs staying in my home must be friendly with both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable caring for pets overnight and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school, so I’m available for daytime and overnight boarding any day of the week, as well as dog walking and drop-in visits. Since I have pets of my own, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My two Labradoodles are indoor dogs, but they have access to a large, securely fenced yard where I let them out throughout the day to run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I don’t have a doggie door because my two cats are indoor-only, so all outdoor time is supervised. My dogs are very friendly and love meeting new dog friends, and my cats are comfortable around dogs, so I only board pets that are friendly with both dogs and cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. At night, my pets have their own comfortable sleeping routines. My older Labradoodle sleeps with my parents, and my younger Labradoodle sleeps with me. Any dog boarding in my home is welcome to sleep in my room if that helps them feel more comfortable, or I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them and their owner, such as sleeping in a crate or their own designated sleeping space.

About: Hi! I’ve cared for my own cats and dogs for many years and have also helped family and friends care for their pets. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I work from home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to give pets attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a secure fenced yard. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I have two friendly resident cats, so I always make thoughtful introductions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
