Your Pets Nanny Your pets are not boarded and thus protected from other animals that may be aggressive, ill, or diseased. Overall it's less stressful than being boarded away from home and it's better for your pet's well being. Daily visits to your home keep up the continuity of someone being home and may be a deterrent to crime. You decide how many visits per day and how much time you'd like spent during the pet sitting visit. Visit the Rates page for more information. Before we schedule a meet and greet let's chat first and see how I can help you and your pets.
Services
Vacation care services, like watering plants, are also available even if you don't have pets. Give me a call at 805-479-7487. Let's chat and get acquainted and make sure it's the right fit before we schedule an in-person meeting. If it's a good fit and you'd like to hire me (thank you!) we'll schedule a meet and greet to go over your pet's care and feeding instructions and the dates you'll be away etc. Regular pet sitting service hours are reserved for the mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays when services are in higher demand.

If you are looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter, look no further. Julie has been our pet sitter for over a year. We travel a lot, so we have used her services extensively. We have two cats, one with a special diet, requires fluid injections and pills. Julie handled it all. She loves our pets like her own. Highly recommend her for any of your pet caring needs!

We've had Julie take care of our cats twice now and will definitely hire her again when we need a cat sitter. She did an amazing job! she took great care of our cats, sent us pics of the cats when she was there. Even collected our mail, watered my plants, and even made sure my monarch caterpillars in the garden were okay!

I highly recommend Julie. I work Offshore so gone for 2 weeks at a time. She takes good care of my fur balls and any clean up on the floor she does. She's good and always on point! Thank you from Kitty Lex and Kitty Mesican Taz

Julie took exceptional care of my cats (one of which had health issues) while I was away. She keep in contact with me regarding what was going on with them so I didn't need to worry. Would highly recommend her services.

Julie is incredibly helpful and kind. We have with full confidence left amour pets in her care multiple times. Even when our cat was very ill and we had to leave she was able to car for her and made us feel so comfortable. Our first choice for pet sitting always!

Julie has cared for my ageing cat and bird for several years. I trust her completely and appreciate her knowledge and sound judgement. She has greatly helped me improve my pet's health and happiness. She helped me get weight and muscle mass back on my 17 y/o cat with hyperthyroidism. My cat has never looked better! and I attribute much of that to Julie's expertise. She loves animals and is a compassionate and dependable care-giver. Fair pricing and easy to schedule visits. Big peace of mind in my life!

We were so lucky to find Julie when we moved to Ventura. She is prompt, trustworthy, and an amazing caretaker for our beloved cats (they are our children!). From weekend trips to week-long vacations, it is so nice to know that our kitties and our home are in the best hands!

I was going out of the country for three weeks and used Julie for the first time based on her excellent reviews. It was beyond a perfect fit, she sent updates, pictures and videos. She even took the time to water my roses and I didn't ask her to do that. My home was safe but mostly my pets were well taken care of and safe! I will refer her and absolutely use her services again! Julie took the worry out of being away from home!

Julie is a great cat sitter! I'm so glad we found her. She is a Ventura resident and has been pet sitting for over 20 years. Our elderly cat has special needs and she was understood all the issues involved. Our cat is happy and so are we!

I love and value my cats as if they were my children, and I am fiercely dedicated to their well-being, safety, and happiness. Julie is the only person I will trust them with: she is responsible, accountable, thorough, dedicated, kind, attentive, and provides outstanding customer service. If you get nervous leaving your fur children (but you gotta), you cannot do better than Julie and YPN!

We were visiting from out of town with our 100+ lb. rescue pit bull - but we needed a night to go out with the family - without him in tow. Finding the right person to trust with such an oversized youngster (while in an excited state & separation anxiety) isn't easy! Julie was great. She understood our challenges and concerns, and was totally undaunted by the task at hand.

I knew the moment she decided to "hand feed" him his dinner instead of just dumping it into the bowl I had provided, that this was a Pet Sitter with a lot of experience, and an more importantly, an actual understanding of those dogs that need that extra touch. I had ZERO worries while we were away, and we returned to find the big boy happy and content. As we start spending more time in the VTA area, we are confident we have found our new Pet Sitter!

I find Julie to be very professional. She came for a meet and greet and was razor sharp focused in learning my complex grooming, medication and care instructions. She is experienced, warm and kind. I was so happy to return home to find my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels stress free, impeccably groomed and well cared for with everything in order. I highly recommend Julie from Your Pet's Nanny.

This is the first time we have used Julie's service. We appreciated the meet and greet so we could get a feel for who Julie was and if this was what we were looking for. Our cat is quite shy, but we felt Julie would know what to do to make her feel comfortable. We appreciated the photos, and I think on the last day, our kitty finally made an appearance. I will definitely use this service again. Thanks Julie.

I have been using Julie's service for 2 years and trust her completely. In addition to caring for my two cats (one is blind), she gets the mail and the paper and will put out or take in garbage cans. Even without being asked!

Your Pet's Nanny is out of this world amazing! Julie goes above and beyond in the care she gives to her clients (the human and furry ones;). I travel a lot for business and sometimes last minute. Julie is always available and supportive. My pet loves Julie. While I am away, Julie will bring in the mail, check on the mail and send pictures. The pictures are a great way to see your pet while you are far away from home. I would highly recommend Your Pet's Nanny for all your pet sitting needs. Julie is exceptionally bright, attentive and caring. Absolutely a dream to work with!

Julie is an amazing caretaker and will provide tender loving care for your beloved pet when you can't be home. She's extremely responsible and thorough and has taken care of our cat Maxx since we moved to Ventura. We are thrilled Julie is social-media savvy and provides us with photos, texts and email updates while we're gone. We can enjoy our time away and travel all over the world knowing that Maxx is getting lots of love and attention from Julie! She's just wonderful and we're happy to recommend her!

We have used Julie several times and are always happy with her services! When we are out of town we have full confidence that our pets will be cared for and enjoy the pictures we are sent by text when she does her daily visits. The mail is always brought in and any messes our pets may make are taken care of. She really does go above and beyond what you expect. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs you have!

I trust Julie. Yelp is making me write more but seriously isn't finding someone you trust the most important thing?

Julie Garcia provided amazing care for my pets while I was on business travel for a week. She communicated with me everyday by email and sent photos and brief updates. This meant a lot because I did not worry about their care while I was gone. Julie always made sure I knew they were ok and she checked in at each visit. My children also appreciated the daily updates and photos from Julie - they laughed and smiled every time I said Julie had emailed an update. Julie was always thinking ahead and has a good sense for anything that may be out of sorts (ie. unexpected visitors, gates left ajar, cleaning up messes, a surprise mouse left in the house from our cat, etc).

She sent me a note and asked about things to make sure we were on the same page. I could not have asked for a better pet nanny. This was the first time Julie provided her pet sitting services for us. We will definitely call Julie again! We highly recommend her and would rate her 10 stars if allowed, not just 5!

We "Cerritos, Bubbi and Newt the betta fish" have been cared for by Miss Julie for 8 years now. We cannot believe we have never thought to Yelp review her! She has traveled to 3 residences to see us; silverstrand, Oxnard shores & now Ventura. An excellent communicator, photographer and all around dynamic lady, we absolute adore her. It's been fun watching her business grow! PS she gladly waters plants, carries in packages, checks the mailbox, etc, etc.

Julie is amazing. She has provided pet sitting services for me on multiple occasions and always brings positive vibes and a wealth of pet knowledge. I have great peace of mind knowing that Julie is taking care of my beloved little fur babies while I am away on travel. I particularly appreciate the daily check-in text messages with GPS location. In addition to feeding and playing with my cats, Julie will also check my mail and provide other home services as needed.

I love the ease with which I am able to reserve services, and Julie's thoughtfulness. I cannot say enough great things about the wonderful services I have received from Pet's Nanny Pet Sitting. Highly recommend!

Julie has been taking care of our kitties and our fish for two years now and she's great. She always sends pics with her visits that puts us at ease. Having a special needs kitty makes it callenging to leave but with Julie we know she's in good hands. I would recommend her highly.

Julie has taken care of our 4 dogs several times and each time we have been very happy with her services. I am beyond OCD with my dogs (I actually pack them lunches) but trust her completely with them. We have 2 mellow doggies and 2 "problem children" - Julie has gone above and beyond to make sure they are happy, that they eat and that their little tails keep wagging! She is reliable, conscientious and as accommodating as anyone could ask for. Highly recommend her!

Julie Garcia has been taking care of our pets for many years! She is unbelievable! Julie is dependable, professional and, above all so loving with our pets. The great part is that we never have to worry about our pets when we go out of town! I know Julie can handle any situation with as much love as we would if we were home. It is such a great feeling to know your animals are safe and sound when you are gone.

Our pets also love Julie - Julie was born to care for animals and has a true gift to make them feel safe when their routines are disrupted. We are grateful to have found Julie so that our away times can be so stress free. I would recommend Julie to anyone!

Julie does a great job of taking care of my kitties while I'm away. She's been doing it for years and there's nothing more reassuring than knowing that your pets are well looked after. Julie is completely dependable and the kitties love her!

I contacted Your Pets Nanny during the 2015 Holiday season as we were leaving for vacation across the country. It was last minute as our pet sitter (a friend) had a last minute conflict. I was blown away. Our skiddish cats were immediately comfortable with our sitter. When she visited the cats, we received immediate pictures and reports of how they were doing.

We were both in awe of how customer focused the service was. Not only was the customer service phenomenal, but so was the transaction process. Everything was completed in the palm of my hand as the business embraces the use of mobile platforms. Easy to complete the forms, make the payments, and arrange the logistics. Wish I could give 6*'s. Will be my go to from now on.

Just completed our first service from Your Pets Nanny. My husband and I went out of town for 2 days and our friend that normally watches our dog was not available. With just 1 week before our trip I called YPN since I saw the company car driving around my neighborhood- decided to give them a try and called in for more details. It takes a lot of trust and to let alone a "stranger" into your home, so after speaking with the owner Julie she really helped put my mind at ease and answered all of my questions perfectly.

They first schedule a "Meet and Greet" before the actual visits so they can meet your dogs and get a better grasp on what each visit would entail. This is great to set the expectation as the customer. Jesse, the assistant manager, met with my husband and was a friendly young-fellow, from what my husband observed. Since he was going to be working with us it was nice to see that our dogs would be left with a friendly and responsible person.

The way they advertise their services was exactly what their company is all about and what they did for us. We have puppy cams set up so that we can watch our pups while we are out- but by them posting our dogs pictures on IG is a nice touch for us to see our babies and make sure they are in good hands. If your that big of a dog-Mama such as myself it takes a lot to trust someone with your pets. Overall we are very pleased with YPN and will definitely refer them to our friends and family and will consider Julie and her staff for future services!

I would recommend Julie to anyone. I have only used her services twice now, but so far, so good! She was able to schedule a basic visit ($18) to take care of my two bunnies despite it being a last minute trip. She will organize a preliminary visit to get your house key and meet your pets. At this time, you get to know that she is very friendly and organized giving you business cards, flyers, a pen, refridge magnet, and emergency paperwork to fill out about your pet.

The best part is that she will text or e-mail pictures of your pets to you while you are on vacation so that you know everything is alright. I intend on using Julie in the future whenever I need to leave the bunnies. +1 Organized +1 Responsible and reliable +1 Efficient system +1 Professional pet-sitter +1 Text/e-mail pet pictures while you're away! :)
