About: (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.

“Ozzie can be a bit picky but he loved Idanis and both her pups! She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout his stay. Definitely will be rebooking 😊”

Kayleen makes you feel at ease while your gone, kept me updated on how she was doing, sent pictures with each of her visits, really made it easy and I was able to relax and have a great vacation. Definitely will be using her again!”

About: I am home full-time. I've been fostering dogs for a couple of years and have owned dogs for years before that. I am comfortable with all breeds of dog - have trained with a sweet little pit bull recently - so no biases will be found here! I love all animals and enjoy practicing my dog training on all types of pups. Crate trained dogs are preferable but not necessary! I am active and will happily walk and jog with dogs around the neighbourhood, I am respectful of others property and will take good care of your little pal and your home for the day! My backyard is fully fenced and we live in a quiet neighbourhood with many other lovely dog owners. Looking forward to meeting your lovely pups. I work remotely so am flexible with my time and location when caring for your pup. Located in Topanga so can travel up and down the PCH. I don’t provide services at my own home but am more than happy to dog-sit at yours and house-sit if it’s required. Can provide some additional housecleaning services for a fee.

“An amazing family with the needs of you & your pet at top priority. Overall took amazing care of my girl. Sent updates and pictures without being asked or haggled to. That was a huge plus in my book. Very professional and the love of our furry friends is well shown here. I was very impressed and was able to enjoy my day out with my daughter without worry or fear. If Mrs. Rachel was on the clock I’d demand a raise for her.”

About: Hello my name is Michelle and I live in base. Base access is a must . But could make accommodations if needed. My backyard is gated, there is no way your pup will run away, I know I have a runner myself. I have 2 littles and they are great with dogs. We have a 11 year old poodle super energetic! We don’t cage dogs but do have baby gates in case we leave house, since we have carpet. I do work part time but mostly home. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask away! :) I’m currently working part time, few hours. And I’m mostly homes. We go on late walks after dinner so that no issue walking the puppers too :) We have plenty of dog toys all over and we love to play catch with my toddler. I can go for small walks with 2 dogs at a time. I can send pictures as well of our days or nights at my home.

“Thank you for helping me with the boys on such short notice and feeding them while I was at work. They were super happy to see her again, which is a good sign!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so dogs are a walk in the park! My experience with dogs is primarily with working breeds. I’ve always done my own grooming, and currently am mom to a rambunctious Belgian Malinois! I work for an after school program that is currently out for the summer, so I have plenty of time for helping during the day! I have rather small fenced yard, but am very familiar with the local dog park, where I take my dog friendly Malinois, Mace, daily. If in my home, your furry family member should preferably be crate trained, but I am open to conversation!

About: I currently have 2 cats and 3 dogs 2 of which are relatively small and one who is a Australian Kelpie. I have also had many other pets over the years growing up! Please let me know within 3 to 2 days in advance in booking❗️I have a part time job that is very flexible so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am free majority of the time unless unexpected plans come up! My big dog is an outside dog who is very friendly with new dogs ! My two little dogs are awkward but won’t do any harm at all! My cats are very friendly as well:) I have dog sat before for family friends so I am experienced in that as well!

About: I have a 5 year old German Shepherd named Elza and a 9 year old German Shepherd named Zelda. I also have a horse named Cashmere! I have had animals all my life, I have raised rabbits, kittens, puppies, foals and even chickens! Need even your horse ridden or taken care of? I can do that! I have been riding since I was 5! I promise I'll take care of your dog, cat or farm animal like they're my own. Don't subject your pet to the distress and separation anxiety they experience in kennels. I will make sure your pet feels happy, comforted and loved while you're away. As a stay-at-home mom to a beautiful daughter, incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is both fulfilling and enjoyable. Being home most of the time allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to our pets. Pet-Proofing: My home is thoroughly pet-proofed to ensure a safe environment. This includes securing any hazardous items and ensuring all escape routes are blocked. Supervision: Pets are always supervised, especially during playtime and outdoor activities. I maintain a close watch to prevent any accidents or mishaps. Health Precautions: I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly disinfecting common areas and ensuring that pets have access to fresh water and clean feeding areas. Building Bonds: I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences, creating a trusting and comfortable relationship. Consistency: I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest, which helps pets feel secure and at ease. Communication: I provide regular updates to pet owners, sharing photos and videos to keep them informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. Comfortable Space: Pets have access to cozy beds, toys, and designated play areas. I create a homely environment where they can relax and feel at home. Stimulation: I ensure that pets are mentally and physically stimulated with various activities, including interactive play, training exercises, and outdoor walks. Social Interaction: If appropriate, pets can interact with other pets in my care, promoting socialization and preventing loneliness.
