Pet Sitting in Ventura

“Semran was awesome! She took good care of my two goldens while I was away. She knows how to take care of two big dogs with no problem! My dogs really loved her. I could tell they were very happy when I got back home”

“I was anxious leaving my cats for the first time with someone other than family, but Leanna was amazing and eased all anxiety so I could focus on my work trip! Would definitely book again!”

“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!!”

“Amber was an amazing pet sitter. She was attentive, communicative, and our cat Buffy loved spending time with her.”

About: I am an avid pet lover with experience for caring for different dog breeds and personalities. I have a keen ability to connect with dogs, quickly building trust. My genuine passion for animals drives my commitment to their well-being. I’m dedicated to providing a safe and fun experience tailored to their unique needs. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, creating a balance between work and providing dedicated care to furry companions. Providing a safe and trustworthy environment for pets is the cornerstone of my approach to care. Every interaction with a furry friend begins with establishing trust creating a secure setting where their well-being is paramount. Safety measures are ingrained in every aspect of care. From ensuring secure leashes and harnesses during walks to meticulously checking for any potential hazards in the environment, I prioritize the safety of the pets in my care at all times. Also, open communication with pet parents is essential. Keeping them informed about their pet’s activities, behaviors, and any concerns that may arise cultivates a sense of transparency and confidence in the care provided.

“Hailey is one of the most responsible, organized young ladies that I know. She is kind and loves animals. I am 100% confident that she will be an excellent pet caregiver.”

“I really appreciate and the extra care they take for all their fur family and friends. Would recommend using for the future and they answer all your questions respectfully!!”

“Ali was a fantastic dog sitter for Chewie! She was very loving and understanding of my dogs needs. I would definitely recommend Ali for taking care of anyone’s furry friend!”

“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.”

“Rae is amazing with animals of all sizes and needs! She is super patient and loving with my senior cat and dog. They both have a few health issues and are definitely stubborn, but Rae is great with both of them and they love her.”

“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.”

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!

“Camrin has had a gifted connection with animals of all types while growing up here in Ventura. She is a kind soul with a grounded sense of responsibility and trust worthiness. She cares for her cat Angelo at home and Rusty the Chocolate Lab at her grandmas. She works with autistic children and Attends College to work with children in some capacity. I recommend her highly.”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for my family dog along with my own two bully breeds (pictured with me). Aside from being your typical dog mom, I am a volunteer to my local shelter and rescues as I have a deep passion for the voiceless. I am leveled from easy to jumpy mouthy and particular have a passion for the bully breeds. Whether you are looking for a companion to keep your dog company or one who needs to let out its energy with a long walk, from puppy to senior, you can rely on me to meet their specific needs. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I am reliable to be available for your pet care needs. From walking to drop in visits and overnight stay, I can contribute to allowing your dog to keep their routine. My dogs are my children, though, with the understanding that they are also animals who thrive off the appropriate amount of structure. With love and routine as needed you can be sure your dog is well taken care of in your absence. For in-house stays, I am also experienced with crating if necessary

“Alysa is super responsible, reliable, and so great with animals. She will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is well taken care of. She has dog sat for me a number of times and the dogs are always happy to see her again. I would recommend Alysa to anyone looking for someone your pet will love!”

“Maya was great help while I was recovering from surgery, taking my doggo on walks and tackling the kitty litter with aplomb. Very reliable.”

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.

“Alex communicated in advance before our drop in visit which put our minds at ease. He sent photos of Hank and him having a great time. :) We’ll surely book him again in the future!”

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.

“Cara was quick to reply to my booking request. I appreciated how thorough she was when following up after a visit and I could tell from the pics that my kitty was so happy to play with her :) thank you so much Cara!!!”
