House Sitting Arcilla

About: I have taken care of numerous dogs of all breeds and ages (I have 5 of my own!) throughout my lifetime, doing foster and rescue, volunteering at shelters and working on a farm. I work full time, but I have a flexible job that allows me to check on, feed, and play with your pup every two-three hours (if only needing check in care), walk them morning, afternoon or night, before or after my shifts, and I can even stay overnight if needed. I have experience working with all types of breeds, regardless of disposition, and I can accommodate any specific dietary or physical needs. I will ensure your dogs safety and happiness keeping them feeling comfortable, having fun, and being spoiled.

About: I’m a big animal lover and I’ve taken care of dogs for a little bit now. I have 3 dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am currently a university student so time is very valuable. I am free on the weekends and sometimes in between the weekdays as well. I am able to help keep your pet inside of your home, as well as keep them in your backyard. I will follow any specific way you would want me to put the pet away.

“Very communicative, did everything we asked and took great care of our dogs. Gave us great peace of mind while we were gone.”

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist living in a cozy, dog-friendly townhome in Mission Viejo with my husband, our two young daughters, and our Bernedoodle, Winnie. I personally handle all pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. While we don’t have a yard, we enjoy multiple daily walks and relaxed patio time. I prioritize dogs that are house-trained, well-mannered, and comfortable in a family home setting. If your pup enjoys companionship, structure, and a loving environment, I’d be happy to host them Hello, I’m Michelle! I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist, and I typically take clients on the weekends when my husband is home with our girls. I’m home all week during the weekdays, which allows me to be fully present with your pup and provide consistent care and attention. I walk our dog throughout the day while my husband is at work. He’s usually home by 3 PM and loves taking our dog for morning and afternoon walks before and after work. Pets are naturally part of our daily rhythm—with multiple walks, time on the patio, and lots of love and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of our family. We live in a clean, pet-friendly 3-story townhome. Dogs have access to the first and second floors, plus supervised patio time. While we don’t have a yard, we provide frequent walks and attentive care. Please note: • Dogs must be fully house-trained • Must be comfortable with stairs and a multi-level home • Leash-trained and used to outdoor potty breaks • No destructive or escape-prone behaviors We’re committed to a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Let us know your pup’s routines — we’re happy to accommodate when possible.

“Griselle was great with our two senior dogs they seemed to be comfortable with her. She sent updates and pictures of them and lets us know how they were eating which is always a problem when we leave but they seemed to do pretty well with Griselle.”

“Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.”

“Nika was amazing. She stayed at our home for over a week and took great care of our two dogs. She was responsive the entire time and gave us updates that helped us relax while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was spotless. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend.”

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 bring over a decade of pet care experience, I worked at a Wag hotels before so have a lot of experience with many different dog breeds, cats! Also can giving medication and care for pets with special needs! I have two fur babies a lively 4 year old maltipoo and a 11 year old bichon, both of whom I've raised since they were young pups. Both are rescues, which has equipped me with the knowledge of how to be gentle and understanding around animals who may have past trauma. Additionally, my experience includes training dogs, as I've successfully trained both of my own furry companions. As an experienced dog walker, I confidently handle dogs of various sizes and breeds, ensuring each walk is enjoyable and safe. My expertise also extends to cat care and sitting, as I've provided attentive care to feline friends as well. Whether it's walking dogs or sitting for cats, I approach each task with dedication and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, starting from the moment we wake up until bedtime. We embark on multiple long walks throughout the day, ensuring plenty of exercise and mental stimulation for my furry companions. Our meal times are scheduled with precision, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served at consistent times each day. Alongside their meals, my dogs receive their daily allergy medication and adhere to strict diets tailored to their individual stomach needs, a routine I've mastered due to their specific breeds. Additionally, I carve out dedicated time for play sessions lasting at least 30 minutes each day, promoting their overall health and happiness. My ultimate goal is to provide them with the best quality of life possible, ensuring they thrive and enjoy each moment to the fullest. Creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets is second nature to me. I understand the significance of fostering a trusting bond with each furry friend, ensuring they feel secure and loved in their home. Safety is paramount, especially for young puppies, and I take extra precautions to prevent any potential escapes or hazards within the home. Above all, my number one priority is the well-being and happiness of our beloved fur babies, providing them with a nurturing and secure environment where they can thrive and flourish. Additionally I used to work at a Wag hotels so I have a lot of experience caring for all different types of dog breeds and cats!

About: I've grown up caring for high maintenance dogs (Australian/German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies) so I know the game when it comes to wearing them out, stubbornness, positive reinforcement, hair etc.. Grew up with cats as well, so no discrimination over here. Currently very flexible with my time, which allows me to be available when needed. Can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, extended stays, and last minute care requests. I have a spacious, calm home with a large enclosed backyard surrounded by walls for safety. I currently have no pets, so your dog will get my full attention in a comfortable, low stress environment.

About: I’ve always had at least one dog since the age of 4. I’ve done very well with animals. I find pets to be very calming and I love to play with them. I used to take care of my friend’s cat for a few weeks every year, I never had a problem with her. I always try to earn a pet’s trust even it takes some time, but I’ve never had a problem with any pet before. My schedule is honestly really open. I don’t do anything throughout the day so i have a lot of free time. I love animals so why not do that in my free time. My dogs have always been well taken care of. When i used to pet sit for my friend’s they never had any complaints and only had good things to say

“I was anxious about leaving my dog for a week long trip until I saw how excited she was when Maria arrived at our house. I was truly able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my pup was being spoiled with play and attention. Maria is friendly and professional and provided me with daily updates and photos so I could see my dog was being well cared for. I highly recommend Maria, especially for dogs/pet parents who didn't have good experiences at boarding facilities.”
