We had Natalya watch our small farm of animals: a tortoise, a bearded dragon, a chameleon and 3 tree frogs. Natalya took great care of our babies and sent us updates and pictures every day. She took extra care and socialized with our babies during visits. I HIGHLY recommend Natalya and will be using her again soon. Thanks! read more

Natalya is a wonderful pet caregiver! She is professional, communicative and reliable. She is wonderful with my dogs and provides in-home dog sitting. After each visit, she always shares how my dogs are doing and sends photos from her daily visits. Natalya is knowledgeable about animal care and very thorough. It's such a relief to know my dogs are in the best hands when I can't be there! read more

If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family, look no further than Natalya, the owner of True Friends Pet Care. She cared for our two cats over eight days with two visits per day, and she exceeded every expectation we had. One of our cats is very shy and also needs a pill twice a day--something that has historically been difficult. Natalya approached this with incredible patience and creativity and found a method that worked perfectly every single time. Her veterinary training was evident in the calm, confident way she handled everything. Natalya provided twice-daily updates and photos, and many of the pictures she took were honestly some of the most striking, expressive photos our cats have ever posed for. It was such a relief to see them so comfortable and content while we were away. Before we left, she even scheduled two separate meet-and-greets--one to review care instructions in detail and another to spend time bonding with our shy cat so he would feel more at ease. That level of preparation and thoughtfulness is rare and meant a lot to us. Natalya is warm, reliable, and genuinely dedicated to the animals she cares for. We can't recommend her highly enough and will absolutely be booking her again in the future. She's a true gem in Ventura County pet care. read more

I highly recommend Natalya and True Friends Pet Care! Natalya is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, and has a special connection with animals. I am very attached to my sweet cat and he has kidney disease amongst other conditions, so he has a regimen of prescription diet and medications that need to be followed. Natalya provides regular thorough updates with pictures of my pet, follows care instructions easily, pays attention to my cat's behavior very well, and is incredibly caring towards my cat. My pet loves when Natalya comes for cat sitting and feels very comfortable around her. When I'm away on vacation, I am actually able to relax knowing that my pet is in the care of Natalya. Thank you to True Friends Pet Care! I will continue booking with this trustworthy local business. read more

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Natalya to take care of my cats while I was out of town, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. My cats, who are quite high maintenance, absolutely adored her. We recently got a new kitten who is very young and temperamental and she adapted to Natalya instantly. My older cat fell ill with a URI and eye ulcer, and Natalya went above and beyond by promptly taking him to the vet and administering difficult medication. Her professionalism and genuine care for my pets were evident throughout the entire experience. She kept me informed every step of the way, providing updates on his condition and treatment. Our kitten also had several accidents all over our carpet and Natalya detail cleaned the areas which was really above and beyond. I know that cat sitting for us is not the easiest given all the issues we had while we were gone but she handled it like a champ and truly put us at ease during our vacation. I felt like she was a family member of ours. Additionally, she recommended a new vet, who turned out to be excellent and much more efficient and affordable than my previous vet. Thanks to her suggestion, my cats are receiving top-notch care, and I now have a fantastic veterinary clinic to rely on in the future. Natalya truly exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and compassion. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will go the extra mile for your furry family members, look no further than Natalya. I will not use anyone else other than Natalya to sit for us. For Natalya - Louis and Delilah love you so much and cannot wait for your next visit! read more

Natalya took such Great care of our 2 babies! She is such a professional pet sitter, trustworthy, caring and loving with pets! We would Definitely recommend her services with confidence! We would Definitely use her services again, when needed! read more

As a pet owner, it's so hard to leave your dog when you go on a vacation. There are some very nice boarding facilities in my area, but the thought of having my 100lb dog in a cramped kennel all night was giving me anxiety. Thank goodness my friend told me about Natalya and True Friends. My dog was able to stay home and sleep comfortably, roam the house and backyard, bark at the squirrel, all the things. Natalya came over twice a day and Rio got a walk everyday so he was pretty happy about that. Then a visit with feeding and playing and treats. It was truly the best case scenario! Natalya sent daily photos which we loved. I highly recommend True Friends! read more

Late review, but Nat was super helpful taking care of my two cats when I was away om vacation. She paid a lot of attention on details and gave updates everyday. She wrote down everything during her introductory visit and followed exactly that. She's definitely someone I can entrust my cats with. read more

Natalya was very reliable and professional, but above all, she really cares for animals! She took great care of our doggie. We were provided with detailed information and photos from each visit. Our dog is a beloved member of our family, and Natalya put us at ease when we went away without her. Thank you Natalya. We will definitely utilize your wonderful service when the time arises. read more

The best pet sitting service ever!. The owner is extremely caring and knowledgeable about pets. Extremely responsive and send us pictures and kept us up to date on the wellbeing of our pets the entire trip. Always went the extra mile. We highly recommended using the service. read more

Natalya took amazing care of my cat while I was traveling. She made her visits on a consistent schedule so my pet knew what to expect each day. With each visit she provides thorough updates and pictures. It was so reassuring to know my cat was in good hands. Usually I get very anxious traveling without him but Natalya really put my mind at ease. She is very kind and communicative with a clear love for animals. I am already planning on using her services again! read more

Natalya has watched my cat several times now and she's fantastic. The photos, videos, texts and attention to detail has given me peace of mind that my animal is being taken care of in my absence. It's funny to say but my cat knows Natalya cares for her well and we both really appreciate the efforts made every single time. Thanks Natalya! read more

I needed someone to walk my German Shepherd, Leila, while I recovered from surgery. I read the reviews for True Friends Pet Care on Yelp and contacted them. Natalya responded in a very short time. She and her husband came to my home to meet myself and Leila. Jon, Natalya's husband, took Leila on walks for 12 days. I was very impressed with their very caring and affectionate attitude toward my Leila! I highly recommend them and if needed, would not hesitate to use them again! read more

Natalya was very patient and kind to our anxious cat. Somehow, she made friends with our shy pet! This was our first time we hired Natalya for cat-sitting. We would definitely hire her again. She gave us daily updates on our cat with lots of photos. Natalya is a lovely lady and takes pet care very seriously. read more

We went away for the weekend and hired True Friends Pet Care to look in on our two cats, two parrots, and Koi twice a day while we were gone. I was very pleased with the care Natalya provided to our pets. She provided updates during each visit along with great pics of our pet. The efforts put our minds at ease while we were gone. I highly recommend the service. read more

Natalya was a perfect match for our old pups! She is a great communicator, met with us to talk about our dogs and our trip, and sent us updates after every visit checking and feeding our dogs. Can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Natalya is a life savor. Our pet sitter canceled on us just one week before our trip and we were panicking about finding someone last minute that we could trust. I myself am a veterinary technician and pet sitter, so I am very particular/cautious with who I pick to care for my animals. We have a rather large brood with two outdoor kitties, two indoor kitties (one w/ IBD & special diet), a bearded dragon, a chameleon and a outdoor pond with turtles and fish. Fortunate for us Natalya responded back to us promptly and was able to help us out. We were immediately comforted by her gentle and loving nature with our pets. She is reliable, trustworthy and very respectful of our home. Her prices are very reasonable as well. We received messages and photos each day to let us know all was well. She will be our pet sitter for now on! She's the best!! read more

Natalya has been taking care of our cats for a few years anytime we have been away for just a day to over a week. She is meticulous with getting details on what our pets like, eat, where they may be hiding, and dietary issues. She has been extremely accommodating to last minute requests and shows our cats a lot of love while we are away. I really appreciate she sends us daily updates with photos. I highly recommend her and have a lot of trust in her taking care of our fur babies! read more

My husband and I recently took a two week vacation outside the country. I had hired Natalya after meeting with her and having her meet my kittens. First of all, she's a cat person - very important. But in addition, she's very professional, had everything buttoned up so I knew exactly what to expect. She sent me a text every day while we were gone, with included photos and videos of my girls. The kittens are still a little shy of strangers, but she won them over and their purring proved it. Also, our return flight was so badly delayed, we had to spend the night near Heathrow Airport, and she was flexible enough to care for the kitties and extra day. I am so grateful to Natalya and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to ensure their cats are cared for with love and diligence! read more

Natalya took very good care of our 2 cats. She sent us photos everyday so we could see their sweet faces. Our cats can be a little reserved but they warmed up to her very quickly. We feel fortunate to have found her and hope she is available for our future vacations. Thank you, Natalya, for taking such good care of our boys! read more

Natalya was great with our cat December while we were on vacation! December has epilepsy and high blood pressure requiring daily medication for both. Natalya medicated and cared for her everyday, and provided daily updates with photos of our kitty! I absolutely recommend True Friends to anyone in need of pet care! read more

Everything we could want in a pet sitter! Responsible, responsive, and great with our cat (who can be a handful).

I am so lucky to have found Natalya at True Friends Pet Care! She has cared for my pet rabbit a few times. In addition to being a very caring petsitter, she is responsible, and always on top of it. She communicates very well, with frequent updates and photos. I am relaxed knowing my pet is in excellent hands. Highly recommend! read more

We have been extremely pleased to have found Natalya and True Friends. Nat has watched our dog during two trips so far. She always communicates exactly how things are going, so we don't have to worry. Can't say enough good things. read more

Natalya is amazing! She takes such great care of our cats while we are away! She even fit us in a very busy holiday when I was getting on a plane and realized I had given her the wrong dates of our trip! Our girls are always very calm and happy when we return home! read more

True Friends Pet Care - My girls, always happy when Natalya comes to take care of them! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Natalya was our first experience with a pet sitter for our 13 year old shitzu. She came out to meet her and us beforehand and was very thorough in asking questions and understanding our needs. She was extremely reliable in showing up twice a day, and provided updates and videos which really put our mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she will be my go to next time we have the need. read more

Natalya was really really awesome. She took excellent care of our cat while we were away for awhile and even got our buddy to take a pill. She even came back afterwards to show us how to give him the pill and giving a pill to a cat is NO JOKE!! We are now able to give it to him easily and he is so happy. WE ARE TOO! What amazed me is that when she came back, our cat actually came to her within minutes of her arriving. Our cat NEVER does that and it showed us how well he was treated and how much love he was given. Thank you Natalya! read more

Is it possible we've been using True Friends Pet Care for over three years?? YES! And I've never been happier! I used to be a wreck when we went on vacation because I'd worry about our furry babies and how they were doing. Especially now having a senior cat (16 years!), that worry has intensified. There were times I didn't want to go on vacation because I knew I wouldn't be able to relax. That is not the case now! Since I found Natalya and True Friends Pet Care we go on vacation whenever we want and I completely relax because I know our furry angels are being wonderfully well taken care of. Natalya always checks in with me daily - even if we're out of town for 10 days straight! I hear from her every day with updates and photos :-) She cares about our babies as if they are her own. Recently our senior kitty had an upset tummy and left #2 on our light colored carpet. Although I insisted that Natalya leave it for us to clean up, she searched for our carpet cleaner and made sure everything was all cleaned up for our fur babies. She is amazing! If anyone would like to reach out to me personally for a testimonial - please do. I can tell you that Natalya has completely changed our world and made it better in so many ways, and I would love to gush about her. Do yourself and your fur babies a favor - make sure True Friends Pet Care is on speed dial for your next vacation! read more

Our two large breed dogs can intimidate a lot of people on site, despite being the sweetest and most cuddly pups around, so we were nervous when looking into pet sitters since we knew we needed someone who could handle them both confidently and lovingly. We were so fortunate to have found Natalya at True Friends Pet Care just over two years ago! She was exactly what we were hoping for - from our first interview/meeting, we could tell how much she loved animals and took pride in establishing meaningful relationships with her clients. Natalya took time (and notes!) getting to know our two babies' personalities, quirks, and routines making their lives as stress-free as possible when we have to go away. She has been our go-to sitter/walker since the pups we just 6 months old and over the last two years, she's been there for our planned trips and last minute scheduling needs and is always thoughtful and consistent with the care she gives our 'children'. Natalya will even send us email updates on how everything is going which really goes a long way to reducing our anxiety while we're gone. In short, a lot of people can simply put food in a bowl, pick up poop, bring in the mail, and such. But it takes a special person to do all that plus provide loving attention, consistency in training habits, administer medicine when needed, and in general be the source of comfort for your pets when you can't be there. Natalya is one such person and your pets will love her. read more

See all

We have used Natalya twice now and she is great, we couldn't be happier. Both times we were out of the country for 2 weeks and she came to the house to take care of our cat. We left her with the house key and she emailed us frequently to let us know that all is OK. She also pick up our mail and take out the garbage bins. She fed the cat and clean the sand box. I highly recommend her. Michael Chow read more

We were so fortunate to have met Natalya right after we moved to the area over a year ago. She and her team genuinely care about their "furry clients". Natalya is very professional and super accommodating. I truly appreciate their flexibility and willingness to come at last minute along with being so trustworthy! read more

Absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend Natalya enough, she is extremely thorough and really cares about your pets. She is prompt and extremely reliable as well.

True friends pet care is someone you can really trust and rely on. read more

*****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***** We have been using True Friends Pet Care 5 days a week for the past 5 months, and are still happier than ever! When we moved to Simi Valley, I was so nervous about having to find a new dog walker. We interviewed Natalya as well as another dog walking service, and both my husband and I, as well as our dogs were very comfortable with Natalya from the second she walked in the door. She is the sweetest lady and truly cares for our animals as if they were her own. It is so nice to go to work everyday and know our babies will get a mid day walk, treats and more than anything LOVE. If you are looking for someone to care for your furry friend/s, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER, you have found the right lady!!!! read more

She's done it again! Natalya watched my dog Scarlet,for the second time, and it was nothing but amazing!

5 star service, hand's down! We have used Natalya's services twice now for our 2 year old cat. Natalya is a true professional and has had years of experience working with animals. Our cat loves her! When we first met Natalya, she asked many questions about our cat's habits and behaviors etc..one could tell that she has taken care of many different types of cats and dogs with a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. Luckily our cat is very laid back and easy to care for, but I'm sure that Natalya is a person who can care for any pet in any condition. She always does a thorough job following our semi-complicated instructions for feeding our cat. She has always been available whenever we have inquired for her services, even throughout the holidays in December. We will continue to call Natalya for our pet sitting needs. If you need a pet sitter while you are gone and don't want to have to worry about your pet while you are out of town, I highly recommend calling Natalya. Put your mind at ease while on vacation! PS. Our cat is even pictured on her website under her furry clients....we feel so special! read more

Natalya always does a wonderful job with my kitties when I go out of town. I am SO glad I found her!

Best pet sitting service we have ever used. We have tried other in home and boarding services for our dog and cat and have always been worried about our fur babies. No longer with Natalya and True Pets. Professional, dependable, flexible, warm, and caring. I know our cat and dog are well taken care of while we travel. If you need a trustworthy pet sitter do not hesitate to call. read more

Natalya was simply AMAZING! She took care of our two fur babies while we were away for several days. I was super concerned about leaving, especially my older little guy, at a boarding kennel because he gets super stressed and sick. Natalya was so calm and kind to them. It was like we were never gone. She sent pictures every day showing us how much fun they were having with her. She gave me updates on EVERYTHING and went above and beyond. She allowed us to relax on our trip and feel so much better about leaving them in the comfort of their own home while being cared for by Natalya. I will DEFINITELY be calling her again in the future and I encourage you to do the same. She even took the trash cans out without my asking her to! Wonderful!!!!! Call her!! read more

Thank you, Yelp users! Based on all your wonderful reviews, we asked Natalya to watch our cat in July for ten days. She lived up to her 5 star rating. Natayla is very professional and we appreciate that she sent daily photos of Bowie and updates of her time with him. We never worried about him while our kitty was under Natalya's care. We just returned from another trip away and, without hesitation, asked Natayla to watch our "boys" (we now have two). Upon arriving home, both their litter boxes were impressively cleaned, and their food and water bowls filled to the brim. We loved getting daily photos and updates of our kitties and the report she left of them. Having Natalya watching our cats is such a peace of mind while we are away. We highly recommend Natalya to anyone who is looking for someone exceptional to care for their fur-baby/ies. read more
