About: I'm ready for hot girl walks for the time and I hope your pup is too. I've grown up and raised dogs of my own, but being in California for school meant leaving him (Butter) behind temporarily. My heart is empty and open to welcome and love yours. I am a second year PA student so most of my schedule is made by me, which will allow me to be flexible and have ample time to feed, walk, and play with your best friend! I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a safe, cozy, and fun environment. I follow routines, keep things pet-safe, and make sure each pet gets the attention and playtime they need. You’ll also get updates along the way and as many additional ones you'd like!

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. About a year ago, I got my Doberman, which motivated me to learn even more about dog behavior, training, exercise, and proper care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love spending time with dogs, playing with them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with feeding routines, basic obedience training, walks, playtime, and reading dog behavior/body language. My own dog is trained, and working with him has helped me become more patient, confident, and attentive with dogs in general. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their dog, and I will always treat your pet with patience, love, and care like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time to dedicate to dogs. I spend most of my time with my Doberman, so daily walks, playtime, training, feeding routines, and giving dogs attention are already part of my everyday life. I’m available as early as 6am to 7pm if needed I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and exercise, and I also have a friendly Doberman who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. If needed, I also have a crate available so your dog can have their own safe and quiet space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and environment while providing attentive care, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals, and lots of attention and affection.

About: ~Trying to save money for my wedding~ What sets me apart is the level of personal attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and little details so your dog feels at home, not stressed. I’m also the go-to person in my family and friend group for pet sitting, because they know their dogs are always in caring, reliable hands with me. From elderly dogs to young and active dogs, I adapt to each pet’s energy level and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex with great walking areas, and I know many owners can’t always get home during the day for walks — I’m happy to take that off your plate. I’m available for drop-ins and quick daytime walks, making sure your dog gets exercise, bathroom breaks, and some extra love when you can’t be there. I understand how busy life can get, and I’m here to help make things easier while keeping your pet happy and cared for. In my home, your pet will be in a calm, comfortable environment with lots of supervision since I work from home. I have a small, low-energy senior dog who mostly relaxes on the couch during the day. He can be kept separate in another room if needed, depending on your dog’s comfort level and personality. I also have a small patio space and take dogs on regular walks around the neighborhood or apartment complex for exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. I always prioritize safety, gentle introductions, and making sure each dog feels secure and at ease.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of very different sizes, ages, and needs. I have three dogs of my own, including two small poodle-Lhasa Apso mixes and one large 100-pound dog, so I am very comfortable caring for both small and large breeds. I also have experience with senior care because one of my dogs is 14, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to changes in comfort, energy, and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and I make sure to adjust my care to what helps each dog feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I am reliable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I would treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I care for my own pets every day. I am used to feeding, walking, giving attention, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Because caring for animals is already part of my life, adding pet sitting and dog walking fits in well with my routine. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so this feels like a meaningful and natural way to use my time while helping other pet owners. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other routines the pet is used to. I would also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision so they feel secure while their owner is away. No matter the setting, I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, because some pets want lots of play and interaction while others need a gentler, quieter approach. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed, loved, and comfortable as possible.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care. I’m attentive, dependable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I enjoy maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and giving lots of affection. I also believe in regular communication, so you’ll receive updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a positive experience for both you and your dog, ensuring they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and companionship.

Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I can make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I also prioritize keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is in good hands. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions they provide. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If caring for a pet in my home, I ensure they have a comfortable space to relax, plenty of supervised activity, fresh water, and lots of positive interaction throughout the day.

Sofia is such a sweetheart and wonderful with my senior pup! She took the time to come meet Skippy a couple days prior to our booking and he immediately went right up to her which he’s usually reluctant to do. I’m very picky about who I have watch Skippy and I feel so safe and at ease when Sofia is taking care of him. I highly recommend Sofia!

Andrew was wonderful. He kept us informed and updated on our 2 kitties every visit. He paid attention to details and did everything we asked him to do, and beyond. Our scaredy cat was even okay with his visits. If we were to need a cat sitter again Andrew would be by first and most favored choice. Our house, cats, and peace of mind were safe and at ease because of Andrew...I highly recommend his services.

Mable is the cat whisperer! I am so please with Mable and am happy to have found a trustworthy person who can check in on my very shy sensitive senior cat when I’m away. My cat actually came out to say hi to her and even ate in front of her (which is extremely rare). Mable provided a detailed report and many photos of my cat when I was away which was sooo sweet and unexpected. I highly recommend Mable and I will definitely be booking with her again.

Normally, when we don't have someone able to check in on Deejay when we're gone for longer periods of time, I notice he gets stressed and really lonely (crying and sometimes gets respiratory infections/sneezing). However, after Kristine spent extra time to keep him company while we were out of town, he was brighter and less sniffly when we came back! She was also extremely responsive with sending pictures and updates and extremely attentive with questions to go above and beyond our asks. I'll definitely need to book with Kristine every time now.
