I am an experienced professional pet care specialist. I am reliable and love animals! I offer personalized care and attention for your furry friend during their walks/visits.
I understand that your schedule can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling options to fit your needs. Whether you need daily walks/visits or occasional walks/visits, I've got you covered.
Your pets' safety is my top priority. That's why I am insured and bonded through Business Insurers of the Carolinas and also Pet First Aid/CPR certified through the American Red Cross.
Every pet is unique, which is why I offer customized care plans to fit your pet's specific needs. Whether your pet needs extra attention or playtime, a meal or medication administered (basic meds only), I've got your pets' back.
This service is provided Monday - Friday. Walks are in your neighborhood and no more than two dogs at a time. Dogs must be from the same household and well behaved on leash. We will not walk dogs that pull or are reactive (this policy is for both your dogs safety and our safety). Service includes a text update after the walk and any packages brought inside your home. **WE TAKE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF YOUR DOG VERY SERIOUSLY. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT WALK DOGS IN EXTREME HEAT**
This is a "drop in" service is available for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, fish and turtles. It is generally scheduled around breakfast, lunch and/or dinner time and can incorporate administration of basic meds. MINIMUM OF ONE VISIT PER DAY IS REQUIRED IF YOU ARE GONE OVERNIGHT (this is for your pets' wellness and safety). We will not provide pet sitting services if you have anyone else (family, friend, etc) coming in to help care for your pet. This is for liability reasons.
If you will be traveling or live in your home part time, we offer our services for house checks. This service includes conducting a physical security check of the interior and exterior of your home (we have discovered broken water lines, pest infestations, etc.) removing all flyers from the front door/ mailbox area, trash cans to/from curb, mail/packages brought inside home, checking vehicles (if connected to a battery tender), blinds/lights adjusted. You will receive a text after each visit.
I am the owner/operator of Eastwood's Pet Care, LLC. I previously owned a very successful pet sitting/dog walking company in Laguna Niguel, which I sold in 2018. The name of my company was Four Paws OC and was closed by the new owner during COVID, but the Facebook page and Yelp reviews are still up.
I am a life long pet parent. As a child our family always had multiple dogs. As an adult, I have had many dogs and cats. Each one of my pets has been so special to me and I am so thankful for the love that they have given me. I currently have a mini Aussie named Tater Tot and a standard size 6 mos old Aussie puppy named Enzo. I lost my Aussie, Eastwood, to Lymphoma last summer. It was a devastating experience, as losing a cherished pet always is. Eastwood is the dog I am with in these pictures. I named my company in his honor.
I grew up in Santa Barbara and now live in Oxnard. I have extensive professional and personal experience with dogs (puppies to seniors) and cats. I also have professional experience with rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, turtles, birds and fish.
I understand how important it is to be reliable, trustworthy, communicative and detail orientated when working with my clients pets. I also understand that you giving me access to your home (and of course your pet) is a BIG deal. I think that this approach to running my business and truly being an animal lover is what made my former pet sitting/dog walking business (Four Paws OC, in Laguna Niguel) so successful.
I have helped clients raise their pets and I have been there to say goodbye, when that time has come (if a client has asked me to be there). I have taken care of teething puppies and wheelchair bound dogs and have given every pet left in my care all the love that I give my own.
Eastwood's Pet Care is my company, my reputation and how I make my living. I am the only person who will be taking care of your pet/in your home and if I ever decide to bring on any staff I will be completely transparent.
Trust is a non-negotiable aspect of any business....but, in my opinion even more critical when caring for a pet and being in someones' home. With this in mind, I want you to know that I am licensed, insured, bonded and Pet CPR certified.
I would truly be honored to take care of your fur baby.
Thank you for your consideration.
If you are interested in setting up a FREE 30 mins consultation, or have questions, please send me a message here or call me at (805) 662-5439 and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you!
We need to have a consultation, before I can accept you as a client. I need to make sure that I am a good fit for you and your pet and I want to make sure that you feel that I am a good fit for you! Once you are an established client you can book anytime by texting, calling or emailing.
Walks can be scheduled Monday - Friday between 10am-4pm.
Pet sitting visits for households with dogs are generally scheduled daily between 7am - 9:30am and 5pm-7pm. If you want/need more than two visits per day, we can figure it out. All of this will be discussed when we meet at our initial free consultation.
Pet sitting visits for cats and small animals are scheduled at different times during the day (based on our route), although we can discuss your time of day preference at our consultation and I will make every effort to accommodate.
If you area a regular, established client, and I am available I will make every effort to fit you in! But, remember, it's just me. So, advanced notice in your best bet.
No. I charge by the amount of time that is needed to take care of your pet, not by what I am doing. I will administer basic meds to your pet, assuming that they will allow me to do it. If for some reason I can't get your pet to take their meds, I will contact you immediately. I have found most dogs to be responsive to peanut butter. :)
Not at this time.
I sure do! You are going to want to get on my schedule as early as possible. Holidays are a pretty crazy time for my business and with me being a "one person show", I can only take on so many clients.
Also, I do have a Holiday Surcharge of $15/day. This surcharge applies to Easter Day, Memorial Day weekend (Sat-Mon), July 4th and the day after, Labor Day weekend (Sat-Mon), Thanksgiving day and the Friday after, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas, New Years Eve and New Years Day.
Yes, I always want you to fill out the paperwork before the consultation, if at all possible. That way I can review it during your consultation and ask any questions that I may have. I will also need to get 2 copies of your house key (one to have on me and one to lock in my office). I label these keys with only your pets name, for security purposes. If you have an alarm, please arrange for me to have my own code. This way you can turn my access on and off as you like. I will give you my preferred personal security code when we meet.
I accept Cash, Checks, Venmo and Zelle.
No, I prefer to keep the admin side of the business really simple so I can spend my time taking care of my clients pets. With that being said, regular scheduled weekly walk/visit clients should plan to leave payment or send electronic payment on the day of the last walk/visit for the week.
For clients who have booked pet services while you are on vacation or traveling for work I request that you leave payment at your home for me or send electronic payment on the first day of service.
Things happen, I get it. Just please understand that this is how I make my living. So, cancellations are tough, especially at the last minute. If I start to feel that you are cancelling too much, I'll let you know. But, hopefully it doesn't come to that.
