Cat Sitting Toro Canyon

“I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty with Courtney! I know cats have a reputation for being independent but some (mine) still need plenty of attention while we’re away and I was glad to know Courtney understood gets it. Courtney was great, especially if you have a kitty that wants more during a visit than a full food bowl.”

About: I’m an animal person at heart, and I have learned a lot anout dog care in my 10 years of experience raising my own. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy or mellow senior dog, I am able to gauge how much mental and physical stimulation they need in order to give them a fulfilling day of play and relaxation. I have an Australian Shepherd puppy myself, who I am very passionate about training. She loves to make new friends, so I definitely wouldn’t mind if another pup joined in on our training sessions! I work a fully remote job, so I am able to watch over pets as much as needed. I can offer daycare services from 6AM-10PM daily! I have a fenced backyard that I use for training sessions. I can take your dog on walks around the neighborhood, or if allowed, there is a nearby dog park where we go to play fetch. I have an extra dog bed and food/water bowls for your dog, but if you’d prefer they be crated for naptimes you can bring your own crate. I can follow your regular feeding schedule, and your dog will be fed separately from mine. The house and neighborhood are very quiet, so dogs who are sensitive to loud noises won’t need to worry.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every pet I meet. From cats and dogs to small mammals, birds, reptiles and even aquatic friends, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species, ensuring they receive the specialized care and attention they deserve. Until recently, I worked with a local animal rescue and it provided me with invaluable experience in animal welfare and behavior. I have honed my skills in feeding, administering medications, handling, and creating environments that promote comfort and well-being. Whether it's recognizing subtle signs of illness, engaging pets in stimulating activities, or simply offering companionship, I strive to make every animal feel safe and loved. Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's a lifelong commitment and passion. I excel at maintaining routines, reducing stress, and providing affection tailored to each pet's personality. Whether your furry, feathered, or finned companion needs playtime, a soothing presence, or diligent care while you're away, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and health. Let me bring my extensive experience and genuine love for animals to your home, offering peace of mind that your beloved pets are in compassionate and capable hands. I have made this my career. While my schedule can vary with personal appointments, I ensure that your family’s pets always remain my top priority. Although I’m unable to host pets in my home, I’m more than happy to travel to yours! Pets often cope better with their human’s absence when they stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment with regular routines. That being said, if you want me to stay with them overnight or if you want me to just drop in and check on them, I'm flexible!

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!

About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.

“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my family. I am a home body and enjoy watching over and protecting people's homes and beloved animals while they are away. I am always apprehensive leaving my pets alone with a stranger, that is why I strive to make people feel safe and comfortable. I have always been an animal person and have done pet-sitting as a favor to people. I figured, now as a nineteen year old, why not make it a nice little side hustle to earn some extra money for college. I live in Solvang California and I work a part time job on the weekdays. Other than that I can walk dogs, do drop in visits and I can stay in your house to watch over your animals. Each pet is unique, I appreciate when owners walk me through their routine, leave notes and emergency contact info, if anything were to happen. I want to make both the animals and owners comfortable, and like everyone to be on the same page. Communication is very valuable.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I did some cat sitting while I was in undergrad and would like to continue cat sitting. I’ve always been comfortable around animals and would love to help with your cat and dog sitting needs. I work during the day but I am available in the afternoons and on the weekends! If you need an afternoon walk, or a housesit while you are out of town for the weekend, I’m your gal! I love spending time with animals, it’s usually slow at first while you gain their trust but I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t get to warm up to me. Spicy kitties included (although that might take a while and only get to a be in the same room basis)

About: Caring for animals & the homes they live in is something I take seriously.

I’m an early riser who values consistency, so feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily rituals are followed carefully to help pets feel relaxed and secure. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same care, discretion, and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a peaceful home and a happy, well-cared-for pet, knowing everything was handled thoughtfully while you were away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence.

I supervise pets closely, keep doors and gates secure, and communicate with owners to ensure their pet feels safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.

About: I've taken care of my own dog for 7 years now. I walk a dog for a woman and we communicate frequently about her wants and needs for her dog. I also have experience in professional cooking and cleaning so I often help her with things in her home such as refilling dog food, bringing in trash cans, and making her bed. I am a current Westmont student. With an appreciation for open communication and understanding for unexpected schedule changes. I work with and understand any client schedules and their needs for flexibility as well. I frequently bathe, feed, and walk my own dog. As well as the other dogs that I walk. Making sure they are their happiest and healthiest. Making any adjustments to diets or walk times that are needed.
