About: My experience with dog care starts with my own. I had chihuahua/rat terrier mix named Jinx. I first got her when I was 11 years old, and she was one of the most rambunctious puppies in the world. She was always so full of life and energy, so I definitely have experience under my belt for a dog on the crazier side! Of course the basic care of walking her, playing with her, feeding her, picking up after her, bathing her, as well as helping her to take her medicine. As crazy as she was she was a very mellow, and loving dog. Although there was one thing that set her off, and that was fireworks. Because of that, I have some personal experience on how to calm a dog down during moments that are frustrating for them. Petting them, soothing them, trying to talk in a calm manner. Even taking them some where away from the chaos helps a lot too! My next experience with taking care of dogs was when I lived with my Uncle. He had three dogs that were a little more high maintenance so that included two 30 minute walks a day, a very fancy specific diet, and medication. One of the ways that experience helps me is because I know how to walk three dogs at once! Another way that helps is because one of his dogs Max, was super grouchy and not really fond of anybody, especially men. He unfortunately had to be put on doggy Prozac because of house angry he was becoming, but that helped me a lot more to learn how to work with a dog with anger issues. My uncle also had a dog named Betty, and she only had three legs, so I am aware on how to accommodate a dog that can need extra assistance. My most recent puppy care experience was doggy sitting a Chihuahua named lucky. He was a cutie, but very spoiled. We of course went on walks, and spent pretty much all of our day together! The thing that set Lucky apart though was the fact that he absolutely hated his picture being taken. Whenever he saw the camera in his face, or heard the click that the camera makes from your phone when you take a picture, he would freak out and run away. That taught me that dogs have boundaries just as humans do. As silly as it may sound, that dog is camera shy, I now know how important it is to respect a dog the way you would respect any other person. It creates a better bond for you and the dog, and a bigger level of love and trust. Just like if someone is tickling you, and you tell them to stop, and they don’t, you would be visibly upset. Just because we can’t see the dog being upset, doesn’t mean they aren’t. Aside from all my listed previous experience, things that I am unfamiliar with, I am open and willing to learn! For example I do not have much exposure to taking care of puppies, but I have lots of time, and the patience to learn whatever I need to, to create the best experience for you, and your pup! More info: Let me know before hand if your furry friend has any needs, likes/dislikes, or any interesting quirks I should know about! Also feel free to reach out, if you’d like to meet prior to getting together, I am available pretty much any time. I currently work for Instacart, and Doordash which allows me to create my own schedule, and work when I need. So I pretty much am always free, and flexible. I can work around any schedule, and can help out anytime when needed! I can care for your pet in anyway that is needed! Even if I am not sure how to do something I am quick to adapt. I will curate the best experience so your animal will feel comfortable, safe, and at home 24/7. As well as to whatever wants and needs you have for your furry friend!

“Taylor was amazing! She loved and took care of my dogs as I would myself. Plus, my dogs adored her! We will definitely use her again if we are back in the area! Thank you, Taylor!!”
5. Shanna M.
“Shanna took very good care of my kitties. She came over to meet them and understand the routine ahead of time, which shows that she wanted to have a good understanding of what she was supposed to do. She asked thoughtful questions. Each time she came over she left a thorough report card with lots of photos. Each time she not only fed and clean the kitties as requested, but also played with them. She spent more time with them than a simple stop in and check on. Definitely would recommend.”
6. Kasey V.
“Fabulous! She took such great care of my pets. She always does. She’s thorough, and communicates well too.”
7. Lexi H.
“Lexi is a close friend of ours that has always been our go-to when watching our cats when we have to leave town (which is quite often). She always does an amazing job and is extremely reliable. We never worry about travel when we know Lexi is there to handle all our pets needs while we are away. She's very knowledgeable not just with cats, but with dogs as well. She has two amazing and well behaved dogs in her family that are always great and fun to be around.”

About: Ive taken care of many dogs over the years and have always had a dog in the household growing up! The first dog that I’ve ever had was a dog named Maggie. Maggie was an elderly pit bull and she came from an unloving home prior to my family taking her on when I was about 5 years old. She was not as disciplined as you’d like an older dog to be, so she would have accidents all across the house and do naughty things like eat food off your plate when you weren’t looking! Understanding the life she was living before, we saw it as an honor that she was willing to get in trouble for a little fun lol. We had so much patience with her and gave her as much love as we could while she was still with us. I will always have a soft spot for pit bulls. Another dog that comes to mind is a dog named Lucki! Lucki was an elderly chihuahua that my girlfriend and I took care of a couple years back. He was on a strict diet and routine. Funny enough, he would get freaked out and paranoid anytime he heard a camera shutter, so you would not be able to take his picture. This plays into the respecting of boundaries that animals have. Many people would play it off as “cute” or “funny” but in reality stresses out your animal. One time I found a dog on the side of the road, also an elderly chihuahua. He was partially blind and was scared to death. I was able to get him to trust me and I was able to get him in my car. There was no collar or anything so I thought he was a stray. My girlfriend and I gave him a bath, fed him and gave him all the loving. We were planning to put found posters and such around town and online but before I could, I had posted him on my Snapchat and coincidentally it was the dog of someone I knew! My love for animals knows no bounds. I do DoorDash and Instacart (gig apps) so I have a really relaxed availability when it comes to scheduling of walks, potty breaks, feeding, etc. I can/will provide any type of service for your pet that is needed/wanted, just let me know and I can do it! Even if I’m not sure how to do it I am a fast learner that can get things done efficiently.

“Sarah has a true love for animals and treats all pets with joy and compassion. She rescued her dog, Klaus, from the Hawaii animal rescue and has committed to donating money to various animal shelters, rescues and sanctuaries with the hope of bettering the lives of all animals. She would be an excellent caretaker for your pet, providing love while you are away.”
15. Joseph C.
About: I have worked with different animals at places such as an equestrian center, a zoo, and a few grooming shops and am currently available to look after your beloved pets when you are away. I am in Ventura but can pet sit throughout Ventura County as well as the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles areas. I have experience caring for exotic animals and cleaning horse stalls and can look after those animals as well. I have some experience doing overnight visits and while I can come to your place, I can't host any pets at my place. Why I love dog sitting I am able to provide a fun and relaxing time for pets and am able to get exercise from walking pets. My experience administering medication I have given medications to different animals before by placing in their food. I currently have open availability, so I have plenty of time to perform the needed proper routine that is needed to properly care for your pets. The care I provide for the pets depends on the needs of the pets themselves. For dogs I typically walk them at least once a day.

18. Natalie H.
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with my two cats. Ordinarily the cats are very shy but they took an immediate liking to Natalie which resulted in my being able to have a relaxing vacation. My house was in perfect order when I returned home. I will be using Natalie again the next time I go away. Hands down the best pet sitter experience I have ever had.”
19. Andy S.
“Andy was an absolute gem! My dog adored him – tail wagging and excitement every time they arrived. His punctuality was great, always showed up at the time we agreed on. His friendly manner not only won over my dog but also made the entire experience enjoyable. I couldn't have been happier with his service – a trustworthy, on-time, and dog-loving companion for my furry family member! 🐾😊”
