House Sitting Aliso Viejo

“Kristie is amazing. She really knows my puppies personalities and needs. She sent me constant updates and I can tell they had a great time with her.”

“Nancy was great, and just who Glory needed. I had to go out of town over the 4th of July weekend, and I hadn't used the app before (or left my dog with someone she didn't know); naturally I was a little anxious for both of them during fireworks, but Nancy sent a video of my dog SLEEPING through the noise. Glory usually paces all night during the 4th, so she had some calming magic that did wonders. I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries in the end. Nancy sent me several updates in my absence assuring me that Glory had been walked and fed, and was doing well. Communication on all things leading up to the booking, as well as through, couldn't have been easier or better. Nancy is also wonderful in the housesitting aspect as well, everything was as I left it (if not a little cleaner in some regards!). If you need someone who has a calming and patient presence for your pet, or you have any hesitance with someone in your home, I highly recommend Nancy.”

About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.

“Seph was fabulous, Bailey reacted favorably to him right away and he was very flexible with our needs. He communicated throughout the 2 days I was gone and gave me peace of mind she was in good hands! Would def use him again.”

“Yara is fantastic! She was so communicative, sent plenty of photos throughout the day, and we could tell she really understands dogs exceptionally well. We would absolutely love to work with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog while in the Carmel area!”

“I had the pleasure of having Sabrina as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with her services. She is not only great with the dogs but also excels in communication. Whenever she arrived, my dogs were overjoyed to see her, which is a testament to the strong bond she built with them. Sabrina is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares for the well-being of the dogs under her care. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”

Ned Y.

“Claudia was on time and very kind to Oliver. I will definitely book her again!”

Dawn C.

“Cristina took such wonderful care of my dog & 2 kitties. She was punctual, communicative, and very kind and caring all throughout. She sent us pictures of our happy pets during our vacation, which put our mind at ease, and we found our new pet sitter. Thank you Cristina!”

“Ryan did a great job house sitting our 10 year old Dog, Neltharion. Nel has a bit of separation anxiety but Ryan handled it extremely well and kept our boy safe and happy.”

About: I have been working in the veterinary field for over 9 years and I also went to school for veterinary technology. I am currently a licensed RVT. I also pet sit for my friends, help with feeding, walking, and sometimes bathing as well. I can also help with medicating pets too such as oral medicine, insulin, ear cleaning, ect. I have no pets of my own but I make sure all the animals have fresh food, water, and bedding. If the weather is bad, i will bring the dog inside the home if the dog lives outside. I can also assist with walking dogs too. I also will take the pet to the vet if needed, god forbid if it is an emergency or if the pet doesn’t feel well. That is also my priority as well as in letting the owner know if something happened with the pet, and if I should take him/her to see a vet. I currently work at a vet office in santa ana but I am able to do drop in visits after work, and I am also able to stay over night if needed. I keep in regular contact with the pet parent, sending frequent updates about the pet. If I have any questions i also will ask as well.

“Thalia was excellent to our dog Ebony who has separation anxiety. Thalia walked him every day. She sent us many pictures of Ebony which we appreciated. He bonded with Thalia well and slept in her bed. When Ebony went outside, Thalia would follow him. Ebony likes to swing, and Thalia would swing with him. If Thalia need to leave for any reason, she took Ebony along, so Ebony was never alone. Our plane was delayed many hours, but Thalia stayed with Ebony until we came home. Thalia is loving, delightful, thoughtful, kind, compassionate, cheerful helpful and a warm young lady. If you even need a Rover, you will love Thalia D. We would use Thalia again for Ebony. Thank you so much Thalia”

“Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.”

About: I cared for a clients cat for over 6 years, and helped with his transition through thyroid and kidney failure, experienced in medicating cats. I have my own menagerie of 4 cats (don’t worry, there are other humans in the home for when I’m away), and foster kittens as well. I enjoy playing with cats and understand some cats also don’t like to play and can accommodate that as well. If you need expert cat care, I’m your gal! Dogs also considered- I walked a 100+ lb dog daily for 4 years (neighbors) and also provided overnight care for a 4 lb teacup chihuahua. I work at a school for 9 months and fill the remains of my days with gig work including pet sitting and house cleaning. I look forward to making your pet a part of my schedule I have 4 indoor adult cats and am an expert at keeping them from escaping- I will keep a close eye to make sure your pet doesn’t get out of that’s unwanted

“Katrina is so kind and thoughtful. We were so happy with how our home and pup were cared for while we were away on vacation. Katrina sent lots of photos, and is quick and easy to communicate with. We’ll be booking again!”

About: I took care about my sister's dog husky. It is amazing! So fluffy, so cute, so kind and funny! It always needs a lot of attention and energy which I give with pleasure. Now I am working part-time, so I have enough time to visit your pets in the mornings or in the evenings. This is may be not just a short visit, and I can stay for some time to play with your fur baby! I always clean litter boxes and bowls. Fresh water and food are important things for every fluffy face. I will send you pictures and videos with your pets so you can be sure they are in good hands!

“Saeedeh was great with our 10 year old Aussie/Border Collie. Truly put us at ease to know she was being loved and well cared for. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life. My parents would send our current family dog, Shmi, a shepadoodle, to me when they were traveling! She can be very anxious, but making sure she had a consistent schedule and got plenty of exercise is key! I’m also intuitive when it comes to animals which helps a lot! I’m also a pet psychic and energy healer. I work remotely for a school Monday-Friday, so my schedule is very flexible for walks during the day. I do have certain meetings with breaks in between. I’ll treat your dog like I would treat my own! Doggies need plenty of care and attention. Their needs are priority! Having a schedule is key to ensure your pet feels safe in my care!

About: Growing up with dogs, I have a genuine love for animals. My main job offers flexible hours and the ability to work from home, giving me ample time to watch and care for your pet. I provide undivided attention to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I work from home and live alone which gives me a chance to be able to spend time with cats and dogs at the same time. I'll watch over your pet and play with it as if it's my own. they'll be staying in my apartment with me right there at all times. we can go on short walks every few hours.

“Jadyn was so great. Communicated very well and was engaging with Luna. The peace of mind knowing Luna was cared for so lovingly meant a lot. Thank you Jadyn!!”

About: I have owned dogs, specifically rescues, since I was born. Dog care is something that has come naturally to me, and as all my dogs have been rescues, I've done a lot of work with socializing and analyzing dogs. I had a senior dog who needed about 5 medications a day, so I have a lot of experience with administering medications. Neighbors often asked me to housesit for them, or to have their dogs come stay at my house. I also have experience leash training dogs and analyzing their personality for better training techniques. As a recently graduated veterinarian who spent the last 8 years studying animals, I'd say animal care is one of my strong suits. I am a recently graduated veterinarian, though currently not practicing just to take a break from the 8 years of school! I have a small rescue of my own, and she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. I am usually only away from home to run errands like grocery shopping, or if I'm walking my dog. I am really flexible in terms of availability since I am just enjoying time off right now. I would enjoy to have ongoing long-term set schedules, but like I said I'm really flexible so I am open to anything! While I am currently not offering boarding within my own home, I am happy to introduce my dog to yours if your dog enjoys that kind of connection and enrichment. We have a few nearby dog parks that I dont off leash at. I also have a very small timid dog who is quite adaptable to all situations, and most dogs with a history of not getting along with other dogs actually end up quite happy hanging out with her. Because my rescue literally had to learn to be a dog, I showered her in dog toys she has no problem sharing. I've got various different types of treats, toys, and fun outdoor activities for dogs. I do not have a problem adhering to allergy needs of another dog, as I've had plenty of experience with one of my older dogs having several dietary restrictions. I am also a recently graduated veterinarian, though currently not practicing just to take a break from the 8 years of school!
