House Sitting Thousand Oaks

“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and cat in our home. She is a great communicator and sent lots of updates and photos, did everything we asked, and every one (of our pets) seemed very happy with her.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and kittens, as well as dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I have experience with young kittens, senior dogs, and a blind dog who needed extra patience, attention, and help getting around safely. I’ve also given medications to cats and understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine and any special instructions. I really enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention and cuddles, and keeping pets entertained with fun activities. I’ve regularly walked dogs for about an hour at a time and I’m comfortable with overnight stays as well. I’m also happy to help with feeding, cleaning up, and keeping their space nice and comfortable. Communication is really important to me. I’ll pay attention to how your pet is acting and let you know if I notice anything unusual or concerning. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day because I genuinely love taking pictures of pets! I want you to feel comfortable and reassured while you’re away, knowing your pet is being well taken care of and getting lots of love and attention. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m currently taking college classes online, which gives me the flexibility to work school around my pet sitting schedule. Pet sitting is an important part of my schedule and income, so I’m able to prioritize the pets in my care and plan my days around their needs and routines. I’m generally available most days and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they’re already familiar and comfortable with their surroundings. Staying in their usual environment means they have access to their own food, toys, beds, and other things they’re used to, which can help make the experience less stressful while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, keep their space clean, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to help keep them safe. I understand that having someone care for your pet also means trusting them in your home, so I’ll treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Carolina took great care of our pup while we were gone! She sent regular updates and photos throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend her to others.”

“Haley was amazing. I hired her to watch my fur babies when I had to travel for work. She was very respectful to my home and took care of my fur babies as if they were her own. I got updates and pictures daily. It’s reassuring that I babies were taken care of while I was gone. We hire again if available…”

“Julia was a fantastic pet sitter. We left our two challenging frenchies with her for 6 days. She communicated regularly, sent updates and left the house immaculate. We were happy and our pups seemed happy! Would love to have Julia stay with them again.”

“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.”

“Katia & Luben are great! Our kitty was so well taken care of while we were gone, and his cost was soooo shiny from all the glove rubs!! Thank you 🙏”

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 am not working at this time so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay at your home the full time you are away or just do drop ins. Whatever you need. 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.

About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.

About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

“I was not at home when Rachel watched over my home. But my dog, Samantha, gave her a big paw's up! She told me Rachel was very attentive and caring, and very responsible. Samantha's only complaint was she hoped for more dog treats - what dog doesn't. But still, she looks forward to seeing Rachel again next time I go out of town.”

About: Because of my career in the field of applied behavior analysis, I have a deep understanding of pet behavior. I am great at learning new skills and approaches. I find that this helps me tailor my skillset for each furry friend entrusted to my care. I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can care for my dog and yours. This flexibility allows me to consider pet care easily in my schedule. I have a fenced yard for sun bathing. I understand that having your doggy’s best friend gone is stressful enough so I understand the importance to abide by your personal routines and particular tasks that may sound silly to someone else.

“Emily is always so good with our pups and our house. We LOVE having her stay at our place and know we’re coming back to happy and healthy dogs. Thank you Emily!!!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and I love taking care of yours, including pets with special needs… I am your girl! I am available to housesit and stay overnight. I work from home Monday through Friday and I can get to the house for potty breaks on my lunch hour. I care for your pets in your home by feeding, walking, administering medicine if needed, and lots of playing! I love overnight care as well.

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.

About: I am a full time house/pet sitter! I love the life of taking care of people's homes and beloved animals. I raised my family with tons of pets - dogs, cats, frogs, fish, lizards, snakes, hamsters, etc. I now care for others' in the same way as if they were my own - with complete care and love. I have been on a different app with over thirty 5 star reviews. I am new to this one! You won't be disappointed by giving me the opportunity. :) I work remotely for an organization that specializes in walking alongside foster care youth that are aging out of the system. I can be anywhere to do my job! So I have lots of time to be present for your animals. I am very flexible - accommodating what I do to be in line with the pets' routines and needs. Giving medicine, caring for aging animals with gentleness, lots of play time and cuddle time. I also leave a home as clean (or often more clean!) as when I arrived. Being respectful of others' privacy comes naturally to me and it is something I take seriously.

“Cassandra was great from the start, very responsive and easy to communicate with! All our dogs loved her and we felt really comfortable leaving them for the evening. Highly recommend!”
