Cat Sitting Thousand Oaks

About: I have been caring for pets for decades and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you are away. I care for only one visiting dog at a time in my home, which allows me to provide highly personalized and attentive care for your small to mid-sized dog. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and typically only for up to 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am patient, observant, and happy to follow your dog’s established routines so they feel as relaxed and secure as possible. My apartment community feels like a small park, with plenty of grassy areas for walks and exploration. We are also about a mile from Triunfo Canyon Park, which we visit often when the weather permits. My own dog, Chadwick, is a calm and friendly Chihuahua who enjoys sharing his home and cozy resting spots with visiting friends. My goal is to give your dog a peaceful, loving home-away-from-home experience with plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already plan my days around caring for my own small dog, Chadwick. I am home most of the day and can provide regular walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to relax. Dogs are typically never left alone for more than about 90 minutes if I attend a yoga class or run a quick errand. I also keep my schedule flexible while hosting a dog so I can follow their usual feeding, medication, walking, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I live alone in a first-floor apartment and take full responsibility for every pet in my care. Because I welcome only one visiting dog at a time, I am able to give them close supervision and personalized attention throughout their stay. My apartment has a balcony with comfortable outdoor seating where the dogs and I can relax together. Dogs are never allowed on the balcony or outside unattended, and I always accompany them when entering or leaving the apartment. Just outside my door are grassy hills, walking paths, and plenty of areas to explore throughout my apartment community. I keep dogs safely leashed outdoors and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household routines. My goal is to provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for while you are away.

“Taylor was absolutely wonderful with Cooper and Oliver! We used her for drop-in visits over 4 days, and from the very beginning she was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring with both of our boys. She took the time to carefully read through all of our instructions and even double-checked with us beforehand to make sure she understood Oliver’s activity restrictions due to his back. Throughout the week, Taylor sent detailed Rover cards, lots of great photos, and thoughtful updates after every visit. She made sure they ate their meals, had fresh water, went outside for potty breaks, and followed our instructions closely. What we appreciated most was that she didn’t just take care of the basics, she actually spent quality time with them. She played ball with Cooper, gave Oliver plenty of attention and affection, and really seemed to get to know both of their personalities. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by someone who was so kind and attentive while we were away. Taylor was also very responsive anytime we communicated with her and was happy to help with little things around the house, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy boys and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Taylor with Cooper and Oliver again and will definitely reach out to her for future visits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter! 🐾❤️”

“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”

About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.

“Trisha took wonderful care of our older dog, asked great questions, played with her and really went above and beyond. She communicated really well, too. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets for a few years. I have worked with a trainer so I have some knowledge of positive reinforcement training.

I do not offer care in my home but will be happy to stay with your pets at your home which puts your pets in a more comfortable environment.

“Angela goes above and beyond every time she drops in to check on Trygg. I’m so appreciative of the updates and photos, and the peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well when I’m away.”

“Perry did a great job for us! He was punctual, organized and communicative. Extremely professional and warm. We'll be happy to have him back to watch the girls again soon.”

“Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!”

“Vickie is absolutely the best! She took care of our little Chloe as if she were her own! We will try to always book her to care for our precious fur baby!”

“Julia did a fantastic job watching Togo! She went above and beyond during her drop in visits, giving my dog lots of attention, plenty of walks, and providing me with lots of photos and updates to let me know how things were going while I was out of town. I would absolutely have Julia look after Togo again in the future, and would highly recommend her as a dog sitter anytime!”

About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.

About: Born and raised in southern California, I have always had a love of all animals. From dog sitting my neighbor's dog over the holidays, to caring for our many family pets over the years. I've been in the veterinary field for 21 years in both general and emergency practices. I have also spent several years in doggy daycare. I have a deep love all animals and enjoy caring for them. I can take care of most medical needs in both cats and dogs including oral, topical and injectable medications. I would love to care for your pet or pets so that you can focus on the things at hand or enjoy a holiday. Feel free to message me with any questions! Cheers! I'm currently working full-time at a veterinary hospital 5 days a week (M-F 8a-5p and Sat 8a-3p) and am available for care when not working. I don't do boarding in my home but in your home I would care for your pet as if they were my own loved one.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10, experience sitting for friends and neighbors. I have had 1 tortoise, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and a lovely bearded dragon. I can handle big and small pets, and love them all! I have a remote and flexible job, so house sitting is easy for me, as is daily drop-ins if you just need your pet let out/walked for a bit. I care for all pets as if they were my own, I fall in love with every pet I meet, and do everything to make them happy and comfortable <3 I will send you photos and videos of your pet!
