In-Home Pet Sitting for Cats, Dogs, Birds, Rabbits & Small Pets
A Higher Standard of In-Home Pet Care
Professional, in-home pet sitting for cats, birds, rabbits, dogs, and select companion animals in Ventura. We specialize in attentive bird, rabbit, and cat care while welcoming dogs, rodents, reptiles, and other small pets. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s routine, personality, and care needs, including eligible special-needs pets and veterinary-directed care plans.
The Wild Things Difference
The difference is in the details: consistent observation, clear communication, and experience with the pets who need a little more awareness.

Our pet-sitting visits are more than a quick food-and-water stop. Each visit follows your instructions closely and is tailored to your pets’ established routine, including feeding, medication, enrichment, cleanup, and basic home care - plus clear communication and detailed visit updates while you’re away.
