“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
“This was the first time Royce did an overnight with other doggies so I was a little nervous but omg he came home so happy, calm and exhausted from all the play time and socializing! Lorri was great at sending updates which put me at ease! Royce had a wonderful time making new friends 🙂I will definitely rebook when I’m in town again!”
“Jen and Stephanie were amazing with my Jack Russell. The space for the dogs outside is super secure and both Jen and Stephanie are so sweet with my pup. He’s a typical Jack Russell and his energy is unmatched- when I picked him up he was happy and cheerful like he was on vacation there :). Will def have Vincent stay with Jen and Stephanie again. Ten out of ten”

“Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!”

“Noemi took great care of my dogs Buddy and Loni. It was an extended stay of 8 days, and I was thrilled to learn they got so comfortable they played with the other dogs. Her set up of a double gate and great backyard makes it a wonderful, yet safe, backyard for the dogs to play in. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“They are very kind, my puppy Max looked very happy. I am very grateful to them. Even though it was last minute, they agreed to take care of him. I will definitely contact you again in the future.”

About: I grew up in the Bay Area with pit-labs and was taught how to train dogs when i was about 6. I’ve worked for Rover years ago in college and have even worked at a dog daycare called Camp Bow Wow. I miss my childhood dogs every day but now have an 8-year-old black mouth cur rescue I flew out from Maui, HI 😇 I love all animals but dogs are definitely my favorite pets to be around. I’m currently unemployed waiting on “big girl jobs” to get back to me (which takes centuries) so in the meantime I am VERY available! Living silver strand with lots of space to walk dogs, the beach, and friendly neighbors. Your trust and your dog’s safety is priority for me. Making sure the dog(s) always have water, comfortable temperatures, 1-3 outings a day depending on age breed etc, are fed, rested, and cuddles if they enjoy is important! Dogs are so vulnerable, social, emotional and need almost as much care as toddlers.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 12 years and can’t imagine life without them! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, and affection.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start my mornings with walks and playtime, and I build my day around feeding, exercise, and cuddles. Whether I’m working from home or out on a walk, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved throughout the day. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I always focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine — from feeding times to walks and play — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection.

“Words cannot express how wonderful Richard and Mystique are and the loving care they provide for our high energy puppy.

About: Over my lifetime I have had small medium and large dogs. I have also had my share of cats. I am experienced with senior dogs and giving any type of medication if needed. I am retired and I recently lost my 10-year-old French bulldog (Remi). I have found that I now have a lot of time on my hands as he was my main focus. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am available to care for your pets in your home keeping them safe and stress-free. I will give them love and attention and give you regular updates so your time away from them will be as stress-free as possible.
About: We’ve taken care of dogs & cats since we were young. We would house sit for friends and family. We’ve grown up around pets all our lives and we will treat your babies like our own! Thomas works night shifts and is able to come sit or check in on your fur baby during the day. Veronica works during the day and is able to check in during the evening. We have senior dogs ourselves so unfortunately we can’t spend 24 hours with your baby but we can check in and hang out anytime. We can take care of your babies at your homes with walks, letting them outside in the back yard whatever their needs may be we have handled it before.
“It has been wonderful getting to know Sage and it's clear that she genuinely cares about our dog Penny. She does great with her on walks and is very thorough in learning all of Penny's needs and quirks. We are grateful to have found someone who connects with animals so well. We have complete trust in her taking care of our fur baby. Thank you Sage!”
About: I have two large-breed dogs of my own who I love to the moon and back, so I understand just how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ve taken obedience training classes with my own dogs, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that dog training is just as much about teaching the owner as it is the dog! Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, how to read a dog’s behavior, and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, including large, strong, and high energy breeds. I also grew up around cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my family. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat mine, with genuine love, patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. As a dog owner myself, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can be flexible with timing depending on you and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule to help keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, stay aware of our surroundings on walks, and never put a pet in an environment or situation that makes them uncomfortable. Having two large dogs of my own has also made me very comfortable handling bigger, stronger, and higher energy dogs. I also believe communication is a huge part of building trust. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: I have experience dogsitting for many friends for periods of a few days and as long as two weeks. I have had numerous dogs as pets for all of my life. I love all animals - dogs being my favorite! I'm happy to hang with your dog at home or go for a nice walk - whatever they want! I have experience with senior and baby pets - including baby fowl. I’ve even got some pig-care experience. I spend my spare time with my cat Georgie. I’m available for pet care most days! Sometimes I have volunteering obligations on weekends. When I’m not pet sitting, I’m hanging in my beach yard with Georgie. I’m happy to observe any routines your pets are used to. I enjoy hanging out and getting all the animal love I can in return for constant care. I may run an errand or two but prefer to be “home” for most of the sit.
About: I've been a pet-owner since I became an adult, also growing up with pets as a child. My first pet as an adult was my cat, Carpet, who I acquired in the aftermath of the 1994 earthquake. Carpet lived with me for 20 years. During that time my cat, Rocky (aka Rocky Raccoon), joined us as a kitten. And when my neighbors’ dog Roxy needed a home due to her adoptive dad's ill health, I took her in. I adopted Roxy, my Staffordshire Terrier, when she was about 5 years old. I took great initiative to make sure she and the cats got along. Carpet, being older, liked her own space, but after she passed, Roxy and Rocky became forever friends (much like Warner Brothers' Tom & Jerry)! Both Rocky and I were devastated when we lost Roxy in the summer of 2018 at 14 years old. Roxy had struggled with many health issues and had been losing the use of her hind legs for a couple of years prior to that dreaded day. Taking care of Roxy taught me patience and a strong will to match her own. I learned how to care for an invalid and still make her smile. I know the expectations of senior dog care. I know it's hard to leave your senior dog, or any dog, in the care of a new person, but I can assure you that your dog will receive love and attention tailored to his or her needs. For active dogs, we can take a stroll to the jetty or a walk along the beach...all steps from my home.... or play ball in the park or a nearby field...or my back yard which has a nice run! On July 7, 2025, my dear cat Rocky passed away at the age of 20 from Chronic Kidney Disease. I took very meticulous care of her after her diagnosis to help her live her best life while managing the disease. When she was gone, it was the first time in my adult life that I lived in a home without a pet. I have not been ready to get another pet of my own, but I so miss having them around. That’s why I have opened up my home and offered my services to other pet owners. I know how hard it is to find the right fit and a person you can trust. I hope to be the kind of sitter I would have wanted for my own pets. I would love to have the company of your companion while you are away and provide them with a nice vacation home. *Please note: i am happy to travel further for House Sitting bookings or have your pet come to me. For Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking, I serve my local areas only in order to keep my prices low. Feel free to message me with any question. Thank you! I have used Rover sitting services in the past. Recently, I began working from home, so I am now offering my services as a sitter now that I can be available for the most part of the day and nights. Some days do require meetings or errands so in the event that comes up, we can discuss in advance how to handle. I can also bring your dog for a ride-along in these cases if possible and if they do well in cars. I live next to the beach and would love to take your pooch for a stroll or play some ball or even a swim if mom and dad allow it. I would be happy to day-sit for those working long hours and/or find some regular clients so I can build a relationship with your pet(s). I will strictly follow all rules given to me by pooch parents, as I know both pets and people have their quirks! I am open to watching more than one dog from the same home. I will never have another clients pets in my home when yours are booked to stay, unless and in case of an emergency and where I have your approval. Your pet(s) will have my undivided attention. I am the only human in my househould. On occasion, I will have a visitor. I have a doggy door in the house and dog beds for your dogs use, although, I may allow them up on the couch or in the bed with me if that's what they are allowed to do at home. I have tennis balls and chuck-its for playing, as well as some toys, but best of all, the beach is only one short block away! We can take a nice long walk on the sidewalks or on the beach. My home has faux wood flooring (more of a tile laminate) and an area carpet. I have a nice cement back yard about 12 by 80 feet long where your dog and I can play and/or sun bathe. Your pet would be by my side and taken for outings if they are up to it. If they are not up for outings, they will have access to a doggy door 24/7. For cat parents, I also have cat beds and kitty toys as well as a place to set your baby's own litter box so they can have the smells of their own home! (Due to owner's allergies, some litter products may need to be swapped. Most clumping litters are okay.)

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 12 years and can’t imagine life without them! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, and affection. I’m confident handling feeding schedules, walks, training basics, and giving lots of love and attention. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s a part of who I am. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start my mornings with walks and playtime, and I build my day around feeding, exercise, and cuddles. Whether I’m working from home or out on a walk, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I love staying active and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved throughout the day. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I always focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine — from feeding times to walks and play — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I send regular photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, wherever they are.
“Sarah was great! She was so flexible and able to help us at the last minute. We will definitely be asking her to walk Cali again! She seemed to have had such a great walk judging by the pictures Sarah took. Thank you again!”
“John has been amazing at accommodating the times we need Remington walked. I was nervous at first about having someone else walk my dog, but you can tell Remi absolutely loves his walks with John. He gets super excited to see him and cries when John leaves. I would absolutely recommend hiring John and Jessica to walk your dog! Remi always comes back happy and tired!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life from Huskies and German Shepherds to Goldens, Great Pyrenees, and my current Chow (the sweetest girl ever!). I understand different temperaments, training needs, and energy levels, and I always match their vibe whether it’s a long walk by the beach or a cozy nap at home. Every pet I watch gets the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life — I start and end every day with walks, playtime, and cuddles with my own dog. I run my own business and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for like they’re my own. Safety and comfort always come first. I have a fully fenced backyard where pets can play freely and safely, and I live just a block from the beach perfect for daily walks, fresh air, and happy tails. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and part of the family. I keep routines consistent, double check gates and leashes, and give every pet the same care and attention I give my own.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 6. Having my own dog was literally the dream of my life since I remember. I’ve always loved animals and have had pets my entire life, - at different times, my family had 3 dogs, 4 cats, parrots, hamsters, and even chickens. I’ve always been the go-to person in my family for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after our pets, and I truly enjoy every part of it. I love all animals, and I genuinely believe they feel my positive energy and trust in return. I’d be happy to help with pet sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking any time of day, including overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I’m flexible throughout the day and will be glad to take care, home sitting or walking your pups, including overnight stay, please feel free to contact me. I can care for your pets in your home or spend time with them in your backyard. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home at the moment.
About: I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I take the time to ensure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I prioritize time for walks, feedings, and play sessions. I work a very flexible remote job throughout the week and have a lot of spare time! Their needs are naturally integrated into my day, allowing me to provide attentive and reliable care. I prioritize safety and trust by following these practices: respecting the home, following instructions, regular updates, and emergency preparedness. Building trust and ensuring the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment is always my priority.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
“This was the first time Royce did an overnight with other doggies so I was a little nervous but omg he came home so happy, calm and exhausted from all the play time and socializing!

“Wow… i don’t even know where to start! Mystique, Richard and their amazing daughter Milan welcomed our dog Cooper with open arms into their home. They were an incredibly kind family and i felt very safe with cooper in their care. They watched Cooper during our wedding weekend and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stress free weekend. they even brought cooper to our wedding ceremony AND rehearsal the night before for us. I would recommend them 100000% to anyone to watch their pups and i know cooper can’t wait for the next time we leave town so he can stay with them again! thank you thank you thank you!!”
“Gretchen took very good care of our baby girl Bella. She took Bella on several walks & sent us many beautiful pictures of her out in the community. She gave us a detailed report of her every day & sent videos. We felt very comfortable while Bella was under her care.”
“Noemi took great care of my dogs Buddy and Loni. It was an extended stay of 8 days, and I was thrilled to learn they got so comfortable they played with the other dogs. Her set up of a double gate and great backyard makes it a wonderful, yet safe, backyard for the dogs to play in. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“They are very kind, my puppy Max looked very happy. I am very grateful to them. Even though it was last minute, they agreed to take care of him. I will definitely contact you again in the future.”

I highly recommend Alynette to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care, and I will definitely be returning again in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Julie and Scott! I highly recommend them, and we're so grateful to have found them. We reached out for a last-minute dog sitter over the holidays for our 8-year-old small terrier mix, Zazu. Zazu can be a little bossy and defensive with other dogs, which we gave them a heads up about since they have a big dog at home. Julie and Scott did an AMAZING job integrating Zazu into their home life and making her feel comfortable with them and their sweet dog, Snacks. They sent lots of wonderful photos, videos, and updates - including videos of Zazu playing happily with Snacks! Julie and Scott are both so friendly and warm, it's no surprise that Zazu felt comfortable with them immediately. They took her on many walks and let her cuddle with them in bed to sleep at night. My wife and I joked that Zazu wasn't going to want to come home at the end of the stay. We are so relieved and excited to have found them, and will 1,000% be reaching out to them for our next dog sitting need.”
