House Sitting in Cornerstone Village, Santa Ana, CA

“As always, we are leaving 5 stars because of how well our dogs were watched! Even when we left later than we had asked her to come in due to my partner’s work emergency, she was so patient.”

Lisa W.

“Ana is our favorite!!! She sends multiple updates and photos and tends to all the boys needs. Left the house sparkling clean. Will always use her!!”

About: I’ve spent the last 8 years being the best dog mom to my chocolate Lab, Iris—she’s my family and best friend. From training her as a puppy to keeping up with her endless energy, I’ve learned what it takes to care for dogs with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, belly rubs, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got them covered. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a part of my daily life! I’ve been caring for my dog Iris for the past 8 years, so fitting in walks, feedings, and playtime comes naturally to me. As a student, I only have classes two days a week, which leaves me plenty of time to care for other pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I can easily work around my schedule to make sure they’re happy and well cared for—just like I do for my own dog every day!" I live alone in a ground-floor apartment with an enclosed backyard, so if your pup stays with me, they’ll have a safe and fun environment to play, explore, and relax. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, cozy naps, or just hanging out, I make sure every dog feels right at home. If I’m pet sitting at your home, I treat both your pet and space with the utmost care and respect. I ensure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also keeping your home tidy and secure. No matter where I’m watching your pup, their safety and happiness are always my top priority!

Giving medications, doing their physical therapy exercises for seniors I can help with it all. Scroll through my gallery to meet my references!! I work a flexible schedule (I’m a Medical Device Engineer), so just shoot me a message and we can work something out. I am super outdoorsy so I go on a lot of walks and hikes..I know all the local trails. I also have a bunch of fun puzzles and other brain games for puppies that can’t leave home.

I also rock climb so my upper body strength is right up there to keep your excited puppies safe and while letting them explore. I love sniffaris . I’m also an expert hiding medications just right to get your babies to take them willingly! I can read body language and will always maintain communication with you!

“We've booked Katie for house sitting and already have another upcoming booking with her. She's knowledgeable, kept our house clean, and was easy to communicate with. Katie provided excellent care for our high-energy puppy and showed great affection for our senior dog. We appreciated all the updates with photos and videos, which kept us reassured and worry-free. We were initially concerned about finding someone who could handle our puppy's playful nature, quirks, and challenging behaviors, but Katie quickly eased our worries. Both dogs seem happy and well cared for, and we're grateful to have found someone patient and understanding of our dog’s unique needs. Looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 16 years, from playful puppies to older cats who just want some quiet company. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for them. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because animals are such a big part of my life. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pets, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give them my full attention and care, making sure they feel loved and never rushed! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I keep a calm and cozy environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m careful on walks, always keep leashes secure, and pay close attention to their comfort and mood. Building trust with pets (and their people!) means everything to me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at ease.

“Amyra was absolutely wonderful! We needed a sitter last minute for our little ones, and she responded immediately, even showing up for a meet and greet the next day. Both my cat and pup just loved her- I was amazed at just how quickly she put them at ease. She was responsible, attentive, and sent photos and updates throughout. It was such a relief to know that my little ones were safe, secure, and in good hands. Thank you, Amyra, for being there for us!”

About: I’ve spent the last 11+ years caring for a wide range of animals — from energetic puppies to senior cats, to birds, turtles, and even large-breed dogs. Growing up surrounded by animals and now caring for my own dog and cat, I’ve always had a natural connection with pets and a deep sense of responsibility for their wellbeing. Before joining Rover, I provided private pet sitting and walking for family friends, neighbors, and referrals for many years. I’ve worked with shy pets, playful pets, anxious pets, and pets with unique routines. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and quick to recognize what an animal needs to feel safe and comfortable. I’m confident with different temperaments and sizes, and I genuinely love spending time with animals — ensuring they get affection, stimulation, consistency, and reliable care while their families are away. Whether it’s a long walk, a calm cuddle session, or maintaining a specific routine, I always tailor my care to each pet’s personality. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I always keep communication clear and consistent so you feel fully at ease while you’re away. My pets mean the world to me, and I treat yours with that same degree of love. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I care for my own dog and cat daily. I work full-time on weekdays from roughly 8:30am–5pm, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, check-ins, and plenty of quality time before and after work. On weekends, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. For house sitting, I make sure pets get a consistent morning routine before I leave and lots of attention, walks, and playtime once I’m home in the evening. Many clients find that this schedule matches their own workday, creating a comfortable and predictable routine for their pets. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I build it naturally into my daily rhythm and keep communication open so you always know how your little one is doing. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your routines exactly as you outline them, from feeding schedules to walk routes to household boundaries. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, sensitivities, and comfort levels so I can make the experience as stress-free and familiar as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes, and I always double-check that your home is secure before I leave. I keep a calm, gentle presence so pets feel safe around me, and I’m mindful of their body language to make sure they’re comfortable with any interaction. Clean water, a tidy litter box, a clean feeding area, and a predictable routine are things I’m consistent about every visit. If I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for mine. I maintain a clean environment, follow all instructions closely, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I handle unexpected situations calmly and communicate clearly so you feel confident and informed at all times. Overall, I prioritize trust, communication, and creating a peaceful, safe environment where your pet can relax and feel cared for — just like they would with you.

“Annie was attentive, responsible, and took good care of our old pup. She was prepared and asked us important questions to make sure dog sitting was going to be seamless. She made it easy to leave our dog with someone we could trust. Thank you Annie!”

“Tiffany was amazing with our dog Duke! She stayed with him for four nights and it was like we never left, his routine stayed the same and he was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

Ramzi S.

“Elizabeth was the greatest! She took great care of my dogs and home while we were away. She is great with communication, sending updates, photos, and I didn’t even have to ask. We booked last minute after our plans with a friend who was going to watch our dogs fell through, and she was very flexible. I will definitely be hiring her again! It’s very comforting not having to worry about trusting a sitter when you are out of town!”

“Michelle was able to help us watch our 2 cats on short notice. She followed our directions and updated us with photos and messages. She seemed comfortable with caring for our temperamental grumpy cat and our other cat loved her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and continued to have them into my college years as well. I love animals and only want to provide a comforting service so owners know their fur babies are taken care of. I work remotely, so given proper notice I can generally stop by anytime for either drop in or overnight care. My schedule is extremely flexible and I get that life is crazy so I can easily lend a hand. My pets are my kids, they’re my first and last thought throughout my day and I want that same level of attention to be given to any pet I’m taking care of.
