Pet Sitting Ventura Village

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my lifelong love and experience with animals—I grew up with pets of my own and truly understand the care and attention they need. As a dog lover at heart, I treat every pet like family. My passion for the outdoors means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and long, enriching walks. I also have a special place in my heart for relaxed, elderly pets and am more than happy to provide the gentle care, patience, and extra snuggles they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently a Physician Assistant student looking for a little extra cash before starting my full time job. I have a wide array of availability and will work with your schedule. I will foster a safe environment for your loved ones, making sure that all their needs are met! I am trustworthy and will put you and your animals best interest at heart.

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

“Shykala watched my cat and she took so much thought in her care. She took the time to spend time with my cat so that she wasn’t bored while I was away. She sent a bunch of photos so I knew my pet was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again to watch my pet”

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and providing babysitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with animals so they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness. I am available for part-time pet care in the evenings after 6 PM on weekdays due to my full-time work schedule. I am also available on weekends with more flexible hours. I do not have a car, so I focus on local clients and can provide dog walking and in-home pet care at the client’s residence only. I am not able to board pets in my home, but I am reliable, consistent, and committed to giving pets attentive and loving care during my visits. I provide pet care in my client’s home by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and engaging pets in play and companionship. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including any special dietary needs or medications. I focus on safety, patience, and building trust with each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I do not board pets in my home, but I am available for in-home visits and dog walking services only.

“The dogs are always so happy to see Brooke when she checks in! She keeps up updated on how they did and we come home to happy and relaxed pets.”

“Ryan took such great care of my cat while I was away! He went out of his way to give her extra attention, took lots of sweet pictures to send me, and kept her fed and happy while I was out of town. He was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares about the pets under his watch.”
