House Sitting in Alberhill

About: I’ve dedicated much of my personal and professional life to the love and care of pets. From the time I was very young, I knew I wanted to work with animals; I am so grateful to now have that opportunity! I would not be who I am today without knowing and loving all of the wonderful animals in my life. I retired from dog grooming after 8 amazing years due to medical concerns, and I’m naturally inclined to surround myself with dogs. As a gig worker, I’m completely flexible with my days and times. I thoroughly enjoy the freedom that this provides for myself and my clients. I’m thrilled to offer walking, drop-in visits, and house-sitting in south Orange County! I find that consistency is the key factor in helping a dog acclimate- whether it be to a new schedule, a new household, or a new friend. As such, I base my services on your existing routine to avoid too much interruption to your dog’s lifestyle. I believe in the importance of dog-led interactions, so I’ll match their pace and provide enrichment specific to their personality. Having worked professionally with dogs for so long has enabled me to hone my skills in reading canine body language, which has proven to be so helpful! I’ve worked as a groomer and alongside trainers with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Photo and video updates are standard, as I know firsthand how reassuring it is to receive updates on your furry loved ones. I am certified in advanced pet first aid & CPR by IPG. *important note* I will not take your dog off-leash due to safety and liability reasons, but I do have a 60ft longline that I’m happy to use for games of fetch, scent work, etc!

“Eve is so lovely! Such a nice human and really cared about our bulldog babies, which is all we could ask for while being out of town. She was very attentive towards them, gave them cuddles/attention and stuck to their strict schedule, which has kept them very happy pups. Thank you so much, Eve, and look forward to having you watch them again in the near future!”

“I recently had the pleasure of using Maria as an all-day dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was very friendly and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she provided plenty of updates, sharing photos and messages that showed how much fun my dog was having. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I felt completely trusting leaving my pup in her care. I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”

“Cindy was great! She is very kind & professional. She stayed at my home with my animals for a week. My animals loved her! They were very well taken care of and happy throughout her stay. I will absolutely hire her again the next time I need pet care!”

About: I love all animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. I started taking care of and training dogs when I was about eight years old. I love to work with all kinds of animals! My family and I have our own pets and they are Family members as well! I’ve worked on ranches since I was 11 years old. I’ve taken care of chickens, chicks, horses, dogs, cat, reptiles, goats. I could go on and on. I’ve had compassion for animals since I was a little girl and through the years I’ve watched not only my own animals, family members and friends animals as well and housesit for them. I also give my own fur babies their shots and medication. I’ve worked with, trained, and rescued all kinds of animals, even exotics and hybrid wolves. I am currently not working, so my schedule is pretty open. Together, we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I can’t wait! I like to take care of the pets in their own home so that they are more comfortable and less chance of anxiety. I also like to make sure that they are comfortable with me as well as I with them.

About: I have adopted all my fur-babies throughout my life and have always taken care of my neighbors and family's pets while they are away. I am sure you noticed my handsome boy Mr. Cosmos in my profile picture, he is a Russian Blue cat. My husband and I shower him with love and attention everyday. He is an excellent security guard, especially from the birds and lizards! Your dog(s) are all going to receive wonderful care and plenty of attention, while you are away or busy. I love petting them, playing fetch, and taking them on walks. It is easy for me to adapt to different pet routines, morning and evening feedings, potty times, play times, walks, etc. Also, if you have a cat as well, I am happy to take care of both! Fortunately with primarily remote work (occasional in-office days), I am able to be more flexible in my schedule. I work a 9am-5pm Monday-Friday job and if it's a remote day for me, I can accommodate lunchtime visits if needed. Otherwise, I am fully flexible on the weekends and will do my best to ensure your pets wants and wishes are met. In my house, my cat, Mr. Cosmos is an indoor cat and can live in a section of the house as needed. I have a wonderful covered patio in my backyard and grass area too! If it's a hot day and your pet needs to come inside and enjoy the A/C, we are happy to let them. My husband and I do not have children or large noisy gatherings. At your house, I am happy to visit in the mornings, mid-day, evenings, etc. If you would like me to be there overnight, just let me know. I prefer to have meet and greets prior to the dates I will take care of your pet, so I can customize care to your pets needs. Happy to feed, take outside for potty, clean litter boxes, walk, play, and stay as long as needed, so your pet feels loved. Also happy to share updates on your pet while you are away!

About: Hello, I Have alot of experience with dogs and would love to watch yours. My experience is with both puppies and dogs alike. I am a big dog lover! I currently own two socialized and well behaved dogs who love to meet others. I have a lot of experience watching dogs and have watched many different breeds with all kinds of personalities. If you would like me to walk them everyday, that is not an issue. Please feel free to send me a request. I am reliable, responsible, dependable, and can guarantee they will receive the love and exercise they need while you are away. I treat every dog who I watch as my own pup. I always make sure I give plenty of updates and send pictures throughout their stay so you know exactly how your dog/ dogs are doing. Your pup will receive constant care and attention. I always treat your dogs just like I would treat my own. Look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you. Right now Friday-Sunday can do some Monday as long as it is earlier on. Feel free to send a message so we can discuss more. If your dog is outside I am too. There is always supervision no dogs are left alone. I’ll be your pups BFF and treat your pet as my own.

About: I may not have professional experience just yet, but I do have an extraordinary amount of compassion for animals! My whole life I’ve had a wide range of pets, from dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, bunnies, birds and even horses! I’ve been able to make connections with just about every creature I meet! I have lots of free time! I am an employee at Ulta Beauty, however I only work 1-3 days a week from 5am to 10am so I am pretty open quite often to come and take care of your fur children when I’m needed! I’ve helped care for friends and family pets on occasion, and the most important thing for me to do a good job is to know exactly what the pet I’m caring for needs and knowing their personality and what their boundaries are so they can be comfortable around me and feel respected! And if they accept it, I love to give lots of lovins to any animal I meet!

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and currently have a furry friend of my own. With years of experience, I've become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, whether it's for a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. From playful pups to senior companions, I’m dedicated to giving each dog the attention, care, and love they deserve while their owners are away. Your pet will feel right at home with me! As a hairstylist and makeup artist working four days a week, I love balancing my creative work with my passion for caring for pets on my days off. With a flexible schedule, I can devote my free time to providing dedicated, reliable care for your furry friends. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, I ensure every pet feels loved and looked after while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I strictly follow every instruction provided by the pet parent. I understand how crucial it is to stick to routines and adhere to any dietary or health restrictions for your pet’s safety. Having a dog with strict dietary requirements myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone and worry if they will be cared for properly. That’s why I make it my priority to follow all rules and guidelines, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: I have 16 years of experience loving and caring for dogs of all breeds. I grew up with Cocker Spaniels, Boxers, Pitbull mixes, Shih Tzus, and Lhasa Apsos. I have two standard sized Australian Shepherds boys. They’re my world ❤️ I’m an expert in walking, feeding, playing, cleaning, bathing, administering medication, puppy care, and senior care. I also have foster experience. My last foster was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. He was with me for 3 months until I found his forever home. My friends and family always rely on me to care for their fur babies whenever they go on trips or if something comes up last minute. I’m currently searching for my next full time job so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can make myself available last minute if needed. When I’m watching any pet, my attention is on them at all times no matter what we’re doing. If we’re inside your home, I’ll make sure that all of the doors/gates are closed and locked. When we’re outside your fur baby will always be on their leash unless we’re in your backyard. I always follow instructions, so if there are any particular rules or routines I should follow, I’ll ensure that I do.

“Liz was great! She watched our 3 dogs for a week in our home. We have a chihuahua that is older and had a hard time warming up to people. She did an awesome job letting him get to know her. She did everything we asked and it was a lot! We will be definitely be using her again! It was so reassuring knowing our babies were well cared for. She was very responsive. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication fo our babies!”

About: Your furry family member will love me! I am very patient with pets and listen to the owners desires. I have trained both dogs and cats. My cat Katie can sit and lay down! I can come to your home and care for your pets, take them for walks and potty breaks. I can feed and administer medication. I look forward to meeting your angel! I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I do get busy, but I check the app often to see if I can help! I prefer to go to your home to care for your pets. Your furry family member is often most comfortable in your home and your neighborhood.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I provide to each pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs whether it’s a high energy puppy needing training reinforcement, or a senior dog requiring medication, mobility assistance, or extra patience. I have hands on experience with: • Puppy training basics like crate training, potty breaks, leash manners, and socialization. • Senior pet care, including administering medications, helping with joint support, and providing a calm, safe environment. • Handling pets with special behavioral or medical needs. • Daily updates with photos and notes, so you always feel connected to your pet even while you’re away. Above all, I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and truly passionate about animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening feedings and cuddle time. I’m organized and flexible, which allows me to provide consistent, on-time care every day. I make sure pets get: • Daily exercise suited to their energy level • Mental stimulation through play, training reinforcement, or enrichment activities • Health check ins like monitoring for any changes in appetite, mood, or behavior • Emotional connection, giving them the affection and attention they need to feel secure Whether I’m caring for pets full time or alongside other responsibilities, I treat it as a top priority because I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and comfort. I tailor my approach based on the pet’s individual needs, personality, and any instructions you provide because every animal is different, and I respect that. In Your Home: • I treat your space with the utmost respect and professionalism. • I maintain your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined, from meals and walks to medication or crate time. • I keep your home tidy—cleaning up after pets, taking out trash, watering plants if needed, and leaving things as I found them. • I also offer regular updates with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and secure, whether they’re in their own environment or mine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life from growing up with cats as a child and dogs since I was born so caring for pets feels like second nature to me. I have experience with everything from training energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. My lifelong connection with animals helps me quickly build trust and tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality. I’m reliable, compassionate, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time at a school, but the school year ends in early June, which means I’ll have open availability for pet sitting and dog walking throughout the summer and beyond. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, so pet care is something I genuinely love and easily make time for in my day-to-day life. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs—from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and any quirks or health concerns. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, always treating their home and pets with the same care and respect I would in my own space. Whether it’s playtime, or snuggles, I’m attentive, patient, and focused on making sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away.
