Cat Sitting Vista

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started pet sitting when I was 8 years old for our neighbors when they went out of town. I cared for their dogs, and a few litters of puppies. I have a deep rooted love for animals and their quirky personalities. I grew up with lots of animals in the house, multiple cats, frogs, and fish. I also spend lots of time at my aunt's house where they would have several dogs at a time. Playing with the dogs and running around the yard of some of my foundest memories. I currently have two cats, Mischka (13) and misty (12), and a dog Mikko (4). I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals. I have a B.S. in software engineering from CSUSM. A few years ago, I was living in NH, during that time I worked with Live Free Animal Rescue as an active foster. I was able to foster several dogs until I found their forever home I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for dogs and cats, plus I love to walk! In constantly working with my own dog on her obedience and mostly frequent businesses where she can join me. My dog is friendly toward people and other dogs. She loves to play! Since we live in an apartment, we frequent walks, and always have a leash on her when leaving the apartment. When caring for people’s pets, if I’m doing a home visit, I always check fences and doors to make sure their pets are secure.

“Ang took good care of my babies (cats and dog). They were happy and fed when I got home. My dog looked forward to Ang's visits each time! I appreciate knowing they were well cared for.”

“Eric was absolutely amazing not only was he great at communicating, sending photos, and overall greatness he also was available last min and I truly appreciated it! Thank you Eric will definitely use again!”

“Everything went great. Claudia’s updates made us feel better about the cat being alone, and we appreciated her attempts to get photos of our scaredy cat. She left treats and other toys scattered around so she could at least know if the cat was active in between drop ins, which was nice for us.”

“Jeanne did an amazing job taking care of my kitten! She took time to play and cuddle with him and he absolutely loved her! It made me feel much better being away from him especially when she gave detailed notes from her visits and shared the cutest pictures of him! Highly recommend using Jeanne for your pet sitting needs:)”

About: I’ve raised dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, pigs, and taken care of other people’s dogs for awhile now. I love all animals and figured I could use my free time to help yours out! Im currently in between jobs so I have time. Long walks, cuddles, treats are all on the agenda. I really enjoy the company and love animals so much. Pups are safe at my home. So I’m available for day care, and possible overnights if discussed. Drop ins are no problem all day within a 10 mile radius of my work in Oceanside, and on weekends within a 15 mile radius of my home in vista.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am very experienced with all levels of care from walking and feeding, to administering medication and light obdience and potty training. I am highly attentive, comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and dedicated to maintaining your dog's regular routine so they feel safe and loved while you're away. My schedule is currently wide open for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. I do ask for some advance notice, but I am open to accommodating same-day requests when possible. I provide a secure environment for pets in my home with at least 3 walks a day and plenty of engagement. I have a doodle who loves to have "sleepovers" with new friends. Safety is my top priority, so I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am fully able to accommodate any specific feeding schedules and administer any medications if required. I can provide the same level of service in your home as well, except I'll leave my doodle at home ☺️

“Savanna was great! Savannah is a great communicator and took the best care of our piggies; we will definitely rebook. Thank you!”

About: Hi! We’re Karlee & Jordan, a dog-loving couple who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, which is why we treat every dog who stays with us as if they were our own. Because we work together, your pup benefits from two dedicated caregivers instead of one. We prioritize boarding in our home, where we can provide a calm environment, plenty of companionship, and nearly constant supervision. Whether your dog enjoys playing at the nearby park, relaxing on our private patio, or curling up on the couch for snuggles, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely enjoy. Together, we have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny companion breeds to large, energetic dogs like German Shepherds. Karlee has experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, and birds. This experience has taught her how to recognize different temperaments, adapt to each animal’s unique needs, and provide patient, attentive care. Jordan has years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and is especially comfortable establishing routines, providing exercise, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Together, we make a great team, ensuring your pet always has plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. We know every dog is unique. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we’re happy to tailor our care to what makes them happiest. We’re also comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, reinforcing training routines, and accommodating any special instructions you provide. Our goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention we’d give our own.

“Alex is professional, timely, courteous and compassionate, she took fabulous care of our 11 week old puppy. We will definitely have her back.”

About: I’m an incoming Aerospace Engineering student at UC Davis and a Regents Scholar who takes pride in being dependable, organized, and trustworthy.

I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s normal routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I always make time for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to provide updates and photos upon request so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. My priority is keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by carefully following all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if instructions are provided), and household preferences. I always use secure leashes during walks, pay close attention to my surroundings, and treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and communicating promptly if any concerns arise. As an incoming UC Davis Aerospace Engineering student and Regents Scholar with professional experience supervising children, I take responsibility seriously and strive to earn your trust through dependable, attentive care.

“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.
