4worldlovers: POOCHSITTER FRIENDS & FAMILY. I’VE BEEN MEANING TO COMPOSE AND SEND THIS MESSAGE TO YOU FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. IM FINALLY getting a break to be able to do that.

As many of you have heard – I suffered a major medical crisis. I have been diagnosed with Glioblastoma WHICH IS A VERY AGGRESSIVE FORM OF BRAIN CANCER. I have to get down the road to treatment ASAP and I pray the treatment will work and that my life will be extended for a few more years beyond the prognosis given to me when I was initially diagnosed.

As a result of this diagnosis – I was forced to shut down PoochSitters. It broke my heart to do this but given the seriousness of this disease – I knew I would have to put 100% of my focus and energy to get through treatment.

A little about how PoochSitters came into existence. I’ve always been a California girl. I lived a good portion of my life in Northern California. I worked in high tech from the late 1970s until late 1990s. I worked for several high tech startups. Back in late 1996 I was approached with a job offer to relocate to Southrn California. The job was in my field of expertise so I took the job and stayed with that company for 5 years before the 2002 Tech Bubble burst and I found myself laid off. No this was very scary time for me for I was the only caregiver of my then husband Steve who had gone through his own Cancer journey. I knew I wanted to start a business that allowed me to work from home. In researching the pet industry and my lifetime love for dogs – it seemed like the perfect solution. I wanted to provide full-service pet care options for my clients.

I was able to utilize my startup expertise to start PoochSitters. At that time my youngest sister Lisa was interested in joining me in this venture while still living in Northern California. So from 20003 until a few months ago we had a thriving business where we took care of thousands of pets. We both loved the business. We put our hearts and souls into it. I built the business as I would have wanted to hire someone to take care of my dogs. My focus was excellent customer services with the aid of technology.

I loved business and all the wonderful human and furry clients that came into my life. My business grew from 2003 until 2022 (nearly 19 years). I am truly grateful for all the wonderful people I’ve met all years. I felt honored that they trusted me and my staff to properly take care of their fur babies pets. I adored all the pups. Many of my doggie babies through the aging process.

I will miss you all and wish you the best that life can offer. Thank you so much for putting your trust in me to take care of your fur babies. I will miss you and your pups. Please stay in touch.

OC Servicer Dogs and Nikki are top notch! Nikki makes class so fun for the handler and the pooch. She is professional and very knowledgeable about her field of work. She helps so many people with their service animals and personal pets. I highly recommend OC Service Dogs for all your training, and questions.

OC Service Dogs is run by Nikki Esser, a highly-experienced, professional, and compassionate dog trainer who specializes in training all kinds of working dogs, particularly service dogs and therapy dogs, but also offers obedience classes that are open to all dogs. I first interacted with Nikki over the phone when she responded to my inquiry about how to go about obtaining and training a Service Dog to help mitigate the everyday challenges I face due to my disabling chronic illnesses. Nikki has supported me through the whole process, from obtaining a dog (she recommended a fantastic breeder who connected us with an excellent Service Dog Candidate), to potty training and getting through the first hard months of obedience training, to task training, to phone conversations about questions and issues, and beyond. We are still in the training phase, but I have no doubts that she will support us through to certification. I highly recommend the group obedience classes (she offers these th...

We have 100% confidence in Kathleen’s ability, integrity, and kindness. 8 years she has always been there for us. Our cats & dogs, geckos & fish adore her too. Gives us total peace of mind.

I would highly recommend Kathleen & The Pet Sitter crew. She has taken such good care of our elderly dog and now our new puppy. She does it with such compassion and clearly loves what she does. She goes above and beyond, always.
