Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ranchos Penitas West

“Best option for me and my dogs. They stayed for a week and got along great. I am so happy we have someone we can trust here to take our dogs to.”

Kylee C.

About: I have raised three pit bulls from pups to their senior years and a Chorkie. I have helped my neighbors get a hold of their pets when they run out of their backyard… I have a way of connecting with animals in which I make them feel safe & comfortable w/me. I genuinely care for animals because they’re family and we are their voice. Im currently a Navy retiree & will start working remotely from home soon; therefore, I am present at home all times to care for your pet(s). I also enjoy walking my Chorkie “Tattle” on a 3.5 mile trail. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Chorkie who will keep your fur baby company. Additionally, I have two extra kennels if crating is desired.

“Lory is the best. This was the first time leaving my dog with anyone other than a friend or family member and she was amazing. She continually sent me photos and videos of my baby that kept me at peace. My dog was so happy that I thought she wouldn’t want to come back home. I will definitely re-book and recommend her to my friends.”

Ello T.

“It was the first time leaving our boys with someone other than family. Kayla did a great job with them. Regular updates and pictures allowed us to have peace of mind. It was comforting to know that they were well taken care of. Kayla was patient with our puppy and compassionate with our senior; she even hand fed him to make sure he didn't miss his meals. 100% recommend Kayla!”

Edna G.

“Jessica was great with Penelope, she sent me pictures and kept me updated daily. Penelope looked happy and didn't appear stressed or anxious, which is usually a good indicator that she was well taken care of. Thank you!”

Alice R.

“We always book ahead of time to ensure that our baby Cooper is well taken care of when we are out. Lizette and her family are so amazing to our doggie! 💗”

Stephanie D.

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a Pre-Veterinary concentration, where I got hands-on experience working with a variety of species and learned about animal behavior, handling, training, and basic medical care. One of the coolest experiences I had was working in a research facility that studied canine scent detection (nose work). I also took animal training courses in college, which sparked my interest in dog behavior and enrichment. I love learning how dogs think and finding fun ways to keep them happy, confident, and mentally stimulated. These days, I’m a nurse by profession, but caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. My nursing background has made me dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling situations that require patience and attention to detail. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sniffing games, training sessions, or just curling up on the couch for company, I’m happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and have a great time while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of companionship. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or overnight care, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Having grown up around dogs and worked with animals throughout my education, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply companionship, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you’re away.

About: I am a fur mom of three. It would be my greatest honor to help another fur owner with anything needed whether it would be playing with your baby or taking them for a walk. My current job status is being a substitute teacher for UISD meaning that my schedule is absolutely flexible and much more in the Summer. A few things to learn about me is that i'm very punctual when it comes to being on time, a great communicator when it comes to your fur baby, and patient. I can assure you that i'll love your fur baby as if he/she were my own and give her/him all the love and attention they need while you're gone. :) I have a part-time job that is extremely flexible with weekends off. I'll be able to attend to your fur babies' needs to whichever time you desire. It will be my honor to do whatever jobs you assign me for your fur baby's needs. I can assure you I will do more than my best to accomplish what is asked from you.

“Alicia has done a great job taking care of 2 kitties Simba & Bella. Simba is the mischievous one and Bella is the timid one. To my surprise, they didn’t hide in the first meeting and Bella actually even let Alicia held her in her arms!! 😳. While we were gone, Alicia pretty much gave me daily updates on them, although Bella did hide but eventually she showed up and got her petting from Alicia!! Simba behaved relatively well with Alicia while we were gone. Overall, I feel pretty comfortable having Alicia take care of my 2 beloved kitties!! I have already rebooked her service for next event. Tks Alicia for taking good care of my kitties!! 😻😻😃”

“I had full confidence in leaving my cat in Dani’s care. She was communicative, caring, and detail oriented. Everything I needed to be assured that this was the right choice.”

Sydney B.

“As always, I am amazed at the comfort level of the cats via the photos shared with me. I can show up fully to work knowing Desiree is caring for my cats. If my cats could talk, they would say, “ Uou can leave more often”.”

Elva C.

“Tatiana looked after my cat Sinbad for week while I was in Columbus. She got along well with him and sent me some good videos of him. Couldn't get any pictures, though. She was good about staying in communication, and Sinbad was happy when I got home.”

“2nd time booking with Desiree and it was just as great of an experience as the first time. She followed my instructions and went out of her way to make sure that my pets were safe and comfortable while I was out of town for a wedding. I definitely recommend booking Desiree for help with your furbabies.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was little, they just bring me happiness and joy. Just knowing they’re safe and happy makes me happy. They all need love and affection, just making sure they have the attention they deserve. Currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to do drop ins, play with them and much more. I’m available Monday-Sunday all day, I will accept same day bookings as needed. I do have a large fenced yard, I would keep them company as long as I have them. If pets need to be indoors or outdoors both are good with me. If needed to be in cage that is also fine.
