About: I’ve had animals my entire life—dogs, cats, even a few rescued bunnies from my childhood in rural Canada. My family was the one everyone called when an animal needed a second chance, and that’s still who I am today. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at more than five shelters across the country and even served as their photographer, helping showcase adoptable pets so they could find forever homes. My heart has always had a soft spot for older dogs; my last two rescues, Barney (a Swiss Mountain Dog) and Lucky (a German Shepherd/Collie mix), were both adopted as adults from the Camarillo Shelter. I lost Lucky in March 2025 and am still a little heartbroken—so I’d love to pour that extra love into caring for your dog. I’m comfortable with big breeds, senior pups, and rescues who need a little extra understanding. Whether it’s walks, meds, playtime, or just quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m a photographer, which means my busiest time is usually golden hour — that sweet spot right before sunset. The rest of the day? Totally flexible. I make my own schedule and mostly shoot local sessions, so I’m never far from home (or from your pup!). I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and all the belly rubs in between. I treat every pet like they’re my own—snuggles, walks, belly rubs, and yes, a lot of photos. (Perks of hiring a photographer as your sitter!) Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep their routine consistent and their tail wagging. I’ll send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. I’m especially great with big dogs, seniors, and rescues who just need a little extra love and patience.

About: Hi, I’m Lizzie! Whether your furry friend loves belly rubs, long walks, or cozy lap time, I’m here to make tails wag and whiskers twitch with joy! 🐶 Dog lovers, rejoice! I’m a pro at leash walks, playtime, and giving all the scratches your pup could want. High-energy dogs? No problem—I love a good game of fetch or a scenic stroll! 🐱 Cat parents, I’ve got you covered! I understand that cats run the show, and I’m happy to cater to their every whim—whether that means playtime, chin scratches, or simply respecting their need for space. While I’m experienced and comfortable caring for senior pups and kitties that need medications and special care, I’d like to discuss specifics and decide if I’m the right fit on a case-to-case basis! I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pet like my own. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐾 I currently work from home until 4pm at the absolute latest, but my schedule is flexible and can fit to any needs necessary! I have 2 kitties of my own so unfortunately, I’m unable to house any pets at my own house since they’re a little skeptical of new friends. We live in a quiet apartment complex with lots of walking trails around and there’s a dog park on site for fun playtime there! I’m more than happy to hang out with pups here or hang out closer to home, wherever works! I’m open for anything your furball needs 🥰

“Justin is easy to work with and a great communicator. We appreciated that he got back to us right away to confirm his availability and provided twice daily updates on our dogs. We won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Justin!”

“Candace was an awesome petsitter for our two kitties, Evie & Jaffy! She was very attentive to all the details of their care that I had requested. Her love of animals was readily apparent when she meet our kitties for the first time. Daily updates and photos were appreciated while we were on vacation, and gave us peace of mind. Candace also watched over our home, watering house plants and monitoring a few items with the pool. We were very pleased with all the care Candace provided and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Elaine’s care of our sweet two young kitties was truly wonderful. We received the most thoughtful lovely updates regularly with photos. She brushed and cuddled them and even cleaned them before we picked them up. I felt totally at peace and happy to have my precious two in her care. I am so grateful I found her and we will be back soon!”

“Sarah came by for a meet and greet and did an excellent job connecting with our special needs dog despite the interference of our two typical (and very jealous) dogs. She didn't hesitate at all to get down onto their level (the floor) and win them all over. Looking forward to having her back for some walks and having her do some dog sitting for us!”

About: I've spent my summers growing up on a farm, taking care of horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and occasionally cows. I also grew up with a childhood dog (Siberian Husky, so I understand high energy, stubborn dogs). Additionally, I spent my time in my Master's program as the primary animal care provider, in which I was responsible for over 30 rats. I checked the animals' food, bedding, room temperature, and water daily. In addition, I washed and replaced the cage bedding weekly. I also observed any potential signs of stress or illness within the rodents. I am often spending my time either studying, or working out. I am able to spend evenings with pets, specifically on the weekends because of schedule. I wake up early to attend class from 8:30am-2:05pm at Folsom Lake college, then spend my time shadowing doctors until about 6pm on weekdays. I enjoy new study locations, so spending time in house on the evenings with the animals is no problem with me. I do not keep animals in my own home, however, depending on how sociable the animal is, I will sit with them, play fetch, take them for a walk, hang out outside, or feed them depending upon the request of the owner/client. I try not to crowd animals if they are timid/shy, and will often try to create a safe space for them in which I let them come to me, and familiarize themselves with me by letting them sniff me and lower myself to their level so they are not intimidated. Part of my job as the animal care provider in the masters program was to engage with the rats in a way that was disciplined, but also in a way that made the animals feel comfortable when I hold them/am in theit presence.

“Sophia was so wonderful with my cat. She gave extra time out of her day to come and just sit with him and make him less lonely. She is super sweet and my cat loved her.”

About: I have owned pets all my life, and I have dealt with many kinds of furry friends: big dogs, feisty kitties, and little escape artists. I love spending time with animals and making sure they’re loved, taken care of, walked, and get their playtime. I am currently unemployed and in online Highschool so my schedule is wide open. All I need is WiFi for school and I have all the time in the world to keep your furry friends happy. Wherever your fur baby is in the mornings weather that’s crated, outside, or even in the room with me, I will take them out to go potty, feed them their breakfast, keep them company until dinner, and take them on daily walks unless asked otherwise.

“Ruth took excellent care of our 3 kitties! I love that she was very thorough and took the time to let us know in detail everything she did with each visit. Although our kitties are very shy and hid under the bed when she came over, she still made sure to check on them and snap a pic so we could see their glowing eyes under the bed. ? We would definitely recommend Ruth and will be happy to have her care for our kitties again. ?”

“Ayla did a great job caring for our cat, Ozzy. She was reliable and flexible. Ozzy, who is normally shy, came out for each visit. We will definitely be using Ayla’s services in the future!”
