About: Hi there! I’m Lisa , a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to furry, feathered, and scaly friends. With over 20 plus years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs of pets and strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment for them while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily life as it allows me to combine my love for animals with a flexible schedule. Whether it’s caring for a dog, cat, or other pets, I find joy in providing them with companionship and attention when their owners are away. The responsibility of feeding, walking, and playing with the pets not only enhances my daily routine but also offers a sense of fulfillment, knowing I’m helping both the animals and their owners. It’s a rewarding experience that aligns with my values of care, responsibility, and connection with animals. I take great pride in caring for both pets and their owners' homes. My approach is rooted in responsibility and attention to detail. I ensure pets are well-fed, exercised, and receive the companionship they need while their owners are away. I maintain a clean and safe environment for the pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Additionally, I respect and care for the client’s home, ensuring it remains tidy and secure throughout my time there. By balancing both pet care and home maintenance, I strive to provide peace of mind for my clients.

“I asked my friends Tiffany and Michael if they knew a trusted person to help us watch our little guys while we made a trip out of town and they referred Victoria! I couldn’t have been happier knowing someone who loves animals like us and who is just so kind could leave us at perfect ease knowing our boys are being watched over with such kindness and care!!! Victoria has definitely got lifer friends!!! Thank you so much Victoria!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals all of my life. I mostly grew up around dogs with the exception of my grandma’s house. She constantly had strays around and she also had her own cat. I now have my own cat named Mainfluff, he is about 7-8 years old and he’s so sweet and gentle. I have experience with caring for your pet in any ways you might need!

“Kristina is a great pet sitter! She is amazing with cats and even had our skittish boy coming out to say hello. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitters.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, big and small, since I was 15 years old! I currently have 7 dogs , 1 of them is 17years old so I am very knowledgeable in the challenges that face senior dogs! In my free time I have worked with the local animal shelter to foster pets while looking for their forever homes. I am a retired business owner which allows me a lot of time to dedicate to taking care of animals. It is truly my passion and it makes my heart ❤️ smile! I will ensure whatever type of instructions you leave will be followed. I love to provide not only essential services like food and water but love and affection which I believe is so important!

About: Have grown up around animals my whole life. Been house siting for about 3 years now. Continually leaning about animals characteristics and the best way to care for them. Still in school and have a part time job. Have must of the week free after school. Available Monday through Thursday, and weekends. Looking forward to taking care of your pets. Marking sure the pet is secure, safe, fed and watered. Also making sure feeding and bedding area is clean and safe. Animals are always fed before self.

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.

About: I am such a lover for fur babies! I’ve grown up with animals around me and they have always been a part of my life. They bring me so much happiness, and to be able to support you is fulfilling a passion of mine!

About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (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. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. 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.

“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!”

Matthew C.

“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: 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 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 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.
