House Sitting in Somis

About: I have been fortunate to walk family friends dogs and learn that they love to either sleep for a while or go on lots of walks. Pet care fits into my days because I usually work doing the weekend. So I usually can watch pets and do homework during the week. I always ask the client what are the rules and what they need from me so the pet is always safe and happy. I always follow client instructions.

“Kaleigh is so good with Harley, our blind, and sassy pug girl. She took great care of her while we were away on vacay for a week and sent pics of Harley looking happy and healthy. Kaleigh was quick to respond when I checked in and she took great care in administering Harley’s 4 different eye drops multiple times per day. She also left our house in great shape when we returned. Thank you Kaleigh.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.

“Alex took great care of my pups and my home while I was out of the country. I left with great peace of mind but he still sent many updates and photos throughout. Will use again! Thanks!”

“At the beginning of my trip last week, the pet sitter I arranged for cancelled at the last minute due to illness. I contacted Julie and she was at my home within 90 minutes for a Meet & Greet. My dogs loved her. Even though my trip started late, Julie was there in the afternoon sending pictures of my dogs to me. I'm very happy with Julie and would recommend her. I have all ready arranged to use Julie again for my next trip.”

“Ali was great - very communicative and was super helpful in an emergency so I didn’t have to leave my race. Highly recommend and Artemis & Apollo would love to see her again!”

“Kris was great with our pup Oakley! She took the time to ask questions that helped her be prepared and kept up with Oakley’s routine. We appreciated the pictures and check ins while we were away and would definitely trust her to care for Oakley in the future.”

“Sarah is always wonderful with my little girl. She is great about sending pictures, she follows the care instructions, and she is very respectful of the house. I always come home to a well cared for pup! Sarah is my go-to sitter!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“This was our first time booking with Claire, so I was definitely a little nervous at first leaving Cosmo with someone new, but it honestly worked out so well. She sent daily updates with tons of photos and videos which made us feel really comfortable knowing our baby was home getting spoiled and loved. Cosmo looked so happy in every video doing his little zoomies, and when we got home he was healthy, happy, and clearly very well taken care of. She also kept the house super clean which we really appreciated. So glad we found Claire and the definitely book her again.”

“Fantastic house sitter and fur baby caretaker!! Kim took care of our dog Prince for 6 days while we were away out of state. She stayed in our home without AC in the middle of a historic heat wave and she took such great care of Prince. She walked him in the mornings to avoid the heat, rubbed him with ice packs to cool him down and bought him special treats out of her own pocket. We came home to a happy pup and our house well cared for. I can’t thank Kim enough for being such a great sitter! Highly recommend”

“Natalie was such a wonderful sitter! She put such care into caring for our three dogs and I could tell that she went out of her way to give them the best. She communicated well, was flexible and sent great photos. I highly recommend!”

About: Trusted care, daily updates, and peace of mind while you’re not there. I’ve taken care of chameleons, hamsters, fish, birds, bunnies, cats, and dogs. Those are just my pets. I’ve also cared for water turtles I am retired and my time is very flexible to be able to help with routines and needs for care throughout the day and evening. I will not be able to keep animals in my home as I have too many but I am willing to stay at your home I would treat them as if they were my own

About: Hi I’m Ayaan! I’m a passionate animal lover who has grown up around both cats and dogs my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. I regularly help care for my neighbors’ pets when they’re out of town, which has given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will treat your pets with the same care, attention, and affection that I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 When I’m not at school during the week, I am walking my dog in the morning and evening and playing with my cat at home In my clients home, I will make sure that the pets needs are met by being attentive to their behavior and also playing with them

“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Mikaela as our cat-sitter. She is sweet, punctual, reliable, and wonderful with our cat. We felt completely comfortable leaving our cat and home in her care and appreciated her updates while we were away. Highly Recommended!!!!”

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.

About: I love animals (all sorts!) & have been caring for pets since I was a child. Puppies or seniors, I'm ready and able to love and care for your furry family member as well as you would yourself. I'm comfortable giving medications, including shots (I had a dog who was diabeic and need daily insulin shots), light grooming (burshing etc., - no trims), and cleaning up any unexpected messes. Whether it's daily visits or overnight stays, I hope you will consider me when you need someone trustworthy to care for your pet in your absence. I have a part time job, so need to be away for 3-4 hours each afternoon (usually from 2:30-6-6:30), but other than that, I'm available anytime. I am able to come to your home, whether it's just hanging out for a few hours so they have company, or overnight stays for as long as needed. I am not able to care for pets in my own home, as I live in a moblie home, and do not have a yard.

“Emily watched our dog Otis in our home for 4 days. She communicated with us everyday and was quick to respond. Our dog Otis can be shy around new people and he warmed up to Emily right away. Your dogs and your house are in good hands with Emily, we would definitely trust her to watch Otis again!”

“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.”
