House Sitting Aliso Viejo

“Alisson was such a wonderful pet/house sitter. She was very informative sending updates and photos of the dogs. Our dogs loved her! One of our dogs usually isn’t the most comfortable with strangers but he warmed up to Alisson right away no issues. We completely felt that our home and dogs were in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be repeat customers of Alisson.”

“Emma was amazing! We already can’t wait to use her again. My girls are pretty shy but they warmed up so fast with her! She made them feel really comfortable and I can tell made them feel so loved. She sent a lot of updates and even washed the sheets and took out the trash before she left, she went above & beyond! Thank you Emma!”

“Hailey did a wonderful job with our two dogs! She managed them very well and took care of them like they were her own :) She sent daily updates and photos, kept our home in good condition, and she took our dogs for walks. She is very responsive and responsible. We would definitely ask Hailey to dog sit our pets again!”

About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.

“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!”

“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.”

“Seph house sat for me while i was gone over christmas. I felt comfortable with him walking my dog who is leash reactive. He sent me a lot of photos and also took care of my gliders.. i would highly recommend”

“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”

“Sabrina was super friendly and thoughtful. She treated our pets with love and care and spoiled them. She even took our dog out to a fancy Thanksgiving dinner AND took her bed for her! Very thoughtful. She was very respectful of our home and left it very clean, which was very nice to return to after a long trip. Super appreciate her staying in contact with us and sending us pictures and videos as well. Thank you Sabrina!”

About: A "Dog First" Approach My world revolves around my dog, and I bring that same compassion and respect to yours. I am a firm believer in letting dogs set the pace. Whether it’s going for a long "sniffary" to engage their brain, providing mental enrichment activities, or my favorite—cuddles and telling them they’re the best ever—I make sure your dog feels seen and loved. For The Dogs Who Are Selective I have a natural touch with dogs that are shy or picky about their humans. My neighbor’s Blue Heeler/Husky/Shepherd mix—who is very "iffy" with strangers—is now one of my best buds. I read body language and wait for a dog to approach me on their own terms. If your dog is a "one-person dog" or just prefers a calmer presence, we will get along great. The Puppy-Proof Eye I’ve had my own dog since he was 8 weeks old. I know exactly how quickly a puppy will run off with something they shouldn't have if you look away for two seconds! I bring that same level of hyper-vigilance to your home, ensuring your pup stays safe and out of trouble while you’re away. Your Home is My Office As a fully remote professional, I’m not just stopping by—I’m moving my office to your living room. This means constant companionship for your dog and the peace of mind that your home is occupied and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific house rules or routines to ensure your dog’s day stays as normal as possible. Momo and I have a very consistent schedule. I feed him around 6 am then go back to sleep. 7:30 am we are at the park either meeting up with his friends or on our own and we stay at least 45 min either playing fetch or walking around (likely longer unless I have meetings). After that I come home work for about 30 min, because now we play more fetch in the hallway. Finally I will work for about 5+ hours, then head to the gym, come back and depending on how sleepy he is either take him for another walk or let him nap. Around 5pm its his dinner time and we end up going for a late night walk around 7 pm. Throughout the day there is plenty of playing, chasing and cuddles. Some days we will substitute the park for going on a long walk and I'll let him tell me where we are going. Weekends I try to take him to the Lake for a big walk or to the beach, but I take him out at least 3-4 times a day and its the best part of my day. Caring for a dog is understanding their boundaries and what is best for them. Whether your dog needs to be laying next to me while I work, tucked in for naps, or needs his bed in the only spot in the house where the sun shines so they can bake like a potato, I will accommodate. I'd be happy to send photos of them throughout the day and provide updates whenever needed.

“Dawn was absolutely AMAZING! She cared for our dogs so effortlessly and stepped in on such late notice, which was a huge blessing for us on our wedding day. Our dogs instantly felt comfortable with her, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She even helped get them ready for our wedding photo shoot, which meant the world to us! She was so pleasant, kind, and truly incredible to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend her to everyone without hesitation! 🐾💛”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and from a young age I have been responsible for their care. I have been dog-sitting for neighbors and friends since I was a little kid. I am most experienced with large and small dog breeds. I currently have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Bowie who loves all dogs and people, and a 10-year-old Chihuahua/Wiener dog mix named Lola who also loves all dogs and people. I also have a 12-year-old Indian Ringneck parrot named Cloudy. Cloudy is kept away from dogs when out of the cage for his safety. I am also experienced with small to medium-sized birds and can pet-sit for them as well. I trained both of my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. I can care for dogs with all sorts of needs or special care; I follow instructions to a T, and all pets are treated like family in my home. I work part-time, and while my work schedule is not regular, my pet schedule does not change. I wake up at 8:30 every morning, and the first thing I do is walk and feed my dogs and my bird. If I am not home, my mom, who is just as experienced with pets as I am, will be home, and she will walk our dogs. I feed my dogs between 4:30 and 5. I try my best to have a walking schedule of every 2-3 hours. This usually looks like an 8:30 am walk, 11:30 am walk, 2:30 pm walk, 5:30 pm walk, and our last walk is usually at 8:30 pm. At 8:30 pm, depending on the dogs' mood, I will either let them go to the bathroom in the yard or take them for a walk if they have some energy left. My schedule is always open to change given your dogs' needs. All my pets get 24/7 snuggles, but I am more than capable of giving a dog their space if they just like to co-exist. My dogs are given kibble and a mix of Greek yogurt, cooked turkey, and green beans as their topper. Lola struggles with her weight, so we do usually put food up after about 30 minutes to prevent her from eating our other dogs' unfinished food. Bowie has a lot of allergies, so we usually stick to turkey, salmon, and duck-based foods for his sensitive tummy. Bowie has lots of hair, so in the evenings I usually like to brush him while I watch TV, so I am more than happy to brush your dog if that is something they are interested in. Our home is two stories, and we keep my bird Cloudy upstairs, so if there are any issues between your pet and my bird, it is not a problem if we have to keep them separated. Our backyard is more of a cement patio. We have a patch of turf for them to potty, and we have a really high fence with no gaps, so don't fret if your pet is an escape artist; I am readily equipped! Lola used to be a runner before she got chunky, so I am also experienced in safely handling dogs that like to try and slip out the front door. I do walk our dogs on non-retractable leads as I find that it instills the best walking manners. When I walk my dogs, it is usually just around my neighborhood, which is about a 15-minute loop, but I also have excellent walking trails outside my neighborhood that I can walk the dogs on if your dog would like some extra long walk and sniff time. Lastly, we do not crate our dogs, but if your dog needs to be crated, we can accommodate that. Every situation is unique, and every dog has their own needs, and I will handle them with the utmost compassion and understanding.
