House Sitting in Thousand Oaks

“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.”

“Taylor is amazing!!! She watched our two dogs for a few days and everything went so smoothly. She is caring, attentive, and very communicative. She updated us everyday with photos and let us know her schedule and if there any concerns we had which I really I appreciated. I am planning to book her for future sittings since my girls love her🙌🏻💕🐾”

“Austin was wonderful. He really knows his way around crazy puppies as well as senior dogs. Our dogs were very happy having him sit with them while we were gone for the day. We highly recommend Austin.”

About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Passionate dog lover with experience in all breeds and sizes. I’ve handled walks, feeding picky eaters, administering meds, and even attended training classes with clients. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands. I currently have very flexible availability during winter break and can provide care throughout the day. Once classes resume in late January, I’m typically available afternoons, evenings, and overnight, with flexibility depending on location and schedule. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home and treat each space with respect. I follow routines closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and prioritize trust, communication, and responsible care at all times.

“David was able to help us out on very short notice. Despite the tight time frame he found the time to come by for a meet and greet, and took detailed notes on how to care for our fur babies. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”

“Hayley dog sat our two little dogs last Saturday and she was lovely. If she has availability to sit your dog, definitely contact and book her! First of all, our one dog is a 15 year old diabetic with a host of other problems. He has to eat at a certain time, take oral medications, and get his insulin shot at a certain time. With a meet and greet, Hayley actually came over and learned how to give him his shot. To be honest, it's really hard to find someone to give an insulin shot who'll also sit, but Hayley got the gist right away! She's really nice and very responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Hayley's care. I got photos all night, updates on their feeding/meds, and when I came home late at night, everything was very tidy and cleaned up. So, the point being, if you can get Hayley to sit for you, do it. It was such a relief having her here with our little guys. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us in the future :) She's great!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8 years old, whether it was family dogs or extended family and friends dogs. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and have worked on training puppies. I have no problem cleaning up accidents in the home. I’m currently a part time student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I can drop by any time of day. Whenever I take care of a pet at a clients home, I make sure to take off my shoes when entering the home, I go straight to the pet to check on them and double check the instructions I was given and perform the needed care. I always make sure the pet is safe and I make sure to clean up any accidents. My sole focus is on the animal and making sure they have fun and they get the care and attention they need. I’ve grown up and taken care of all kinds of animals. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old and I love animals.

“Kimmy was great with both dogs - mine and my son's, over a weekend, Friday-Sunday, while we were at a family wedding nearby. She was extremely communicative - sending numerous texts and videos, and if she had to go out, let us know beforehand. The dogs loved her as did we.”

About: What truly sets me apart is my background in fostering. Over the last four years, I’ve opened my home to more than 10 different foster dogs, which has given me incredible hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from 8-week-old puppies full of energy to 14-year-old seniors who just want a quiet place to nap. Fostering has taught me how to be patient and observant. Whether your dog is a social butterfly, a bit shy, or needs a little extra time to adjust to a new environment, I’m comfortable building a routine that makes them feel at home. I am also very experienced and comfortable administering both oral and topical medications. I understand the precision and care that goes into specialized medical regimens, especially for senior pups or those recovering from a procedure. I pride myself on being a calm, attentive, and reliable partner for you and your pet. My goal isn’t just to 'watch' your dog, but to provide an environment where they feel safe and truly cared for—whether we’re out for an evening stroll, a quick drop-in, or an overnight stay. I’ve seen it all, and I’m ready to give your pup the individual attention they deserve! I offer a pet-friendly 'long weekend' schedule! I work from home every Friday, which means your pet will have constant company. I am fully available for 24/7 care Friday through Sunday. During the midweek (Monday–Thursday), I’m happy to help with evening walks or check-ins after work, from 5:30pm. Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every guest like a member of the family. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where your dog can truly relax. Whether they are staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, I make sure they are never left unattended in unfamiliar situations. While I don’t have a massive backyard, I’m a big fan of staying active! I ensure every dog gets plenty of fresh air, regular walks, and mental stimulation tailored to their specific energy level. My home also features a private patio, which is perfect for supervised lounge sessions and catching some sun. I’m a firm believer that 'parents know best,' so I strictly follow your specific routines—from feeding schedules and crate preferences to specialized care. I am fully comfortable administering both oral and topical medications, so if your pup has a specific medical regimen, I’ve got it covered. I’m a big advocate for transparency, so I’m always open to a Meet & Greet before we get started. It’s a great way to build trust, make sure we’re all aligned, and ensure your dog feels 100% comfortable with me! To make sure everyone gets the individual attention they deserve, I only take a limited number of dogs at a time. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates at whatever cadence you prefer, so you can feel totally at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and safe.

“Jeremy is the best!! This is now our 6th or 7th time using him as a sitter and will continue to have him watch our two crazy boys because he’s so great 😊”

“Sierra did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of our dog and cat. Our dog is deaf and can be very timid around new people- Sierra was very patient and caring with her and provided us with pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up in a household with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience cat sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking, and long walks, so I’m happy to provide dogs with any exercise and enrichment they might need. I also have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including my family's deaf dog, which taught me the importance of adapting to each pet’s unique needs. As an incoming senior at UCLA, I am responsible, organized, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. This allows me to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents updated, and since I'm usually glued to my phone anyway, you can count on prompt communication and plenty of photos during any visits I have with your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a Starbucks lover, I'm always happy to treat a well-behaved pup to a pup cup during an outing or walk if that's something they're allowed to enjoy! I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. I will keep your home and pet secure, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you’re away.

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.

About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family trust with their dogs because I genuinely love being around animals. I’m patient, attentive and good at picking up on each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles or just a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving lots of updates and making sure pets stick to their normal routine. My schedule is flexible enough for me to give pets plenty of attention and consistency throughout the day. I like building routines and making sure dogs get the care, exercise and companionship they need. I am available during both weekdays and weekends and can adjust to different care needs depending on the pet and owner preferences. I take pet safety very seriously and always make sure dogs are supervised, comfortable and cared for. I pay attention to details like feeding instructions, energy levels and routines so each pet gets care that fits their needs. I’m patient with nervous dogs, respectful of house rules and committed to keeping owners updated so they always know their pet is doing well.

“Chadwick was a literal lifesaver for us! We lost our sitter shortly before leaving for a 10 day trip overseas, and he went out of his way to communicate his availability quickly and to come to our home to meet our pets and walk through everything. He asked great questions from the jump, was communicative throughout our entire trip, left our home clean, and even picked up some groceries he knew our pets would need and that he ran out of on the last day (all so we wouldn't have to run to the store early after our long flights). He's reliable, generous, considerate, and we will absolutely be using him again. We're so relieved to have found someone local we can rely on and trust our pets with!”

“I hired Gabrielle to mind my home and kitty Bonnie( Daisy didnot come to stay) for 4 and half weeks. She listened carefully to all my instructions regarding my houseplants, mail , trash , and what to do in emergencies, and attended to all faithfully . she is a smart girl and responsible . She has a lot of experience with cats and Bonnie is challenging in her shyness and bonding , but she was able to connect very well and they were soon great friends as the photos she sent me showed . When I returned the home was tidy , and she had been very respectful of the space . Bonnie was happy and playful , and I was very pleased. I can recommend Gabrielle without reservation to anyone catowner .”

About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

“Dee Dee made me feel confident that she understood what needed to be done during her stay here. I have never left someone I don’t know in charge of my house so I was very nervous. I came home to happy animals and a clean house. She even stripped her bed and washed the sheets!”
