House Sitting Corona del Mar

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I work fully remote as a Mindset & Mental Health coach, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets—feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and well cared for. My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

About: I’m Caroline, a 30-year-old dog lover with nearly two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I aim to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I adapt easily to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog has a simple routine or a more involved one—including exercise, feeding, medications, or other specialized care—I’m happy to follow all instructions exactly as provided. I’m comfortable with walks, exercise, brushing, feeding, cleaning up after pets, reinforcing basic training, and caring for dogs who need extra attention or structure. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your dog and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I currently have a flexible routine and will be starting a graduate program this fall in Counseling Psychology that meets three consecutive days per month. I expect to be able to comfortably balance my studies and pet care within my schedule. I provide care in client homes and follow all instructions carefully to maintain each pet’s normal routine. I pay close attention to feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and tidy during and after each visit.

“Kelsy was fantastic! We had to take some time off from our pup of 9 months, 3 year old and our friends 6 year old dogs to just get some dinner and had Kelsy sit all 3. She was more than willing and called it a Pawty! And the dogs had a blast. All 3 of our dogs are different people and personalities and she was able to handle all of them really well and oh btw, they aint small either at 100, 60 and 60 lbs each. She was fantastic to communicate and connect with and we would love to have her sit the pups and the bigs when we travel to Laguna! Cant recommend highly enough! Thank you Kelsy!”

“Eva R. is the gold standard of house and pet sitters! I just returned from a 9-day vacation and couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Eva provided for both my home and my Boston Bulldog, Falcon. From our very first interaction, Eva was incredibly professional, highly communicative, and deeply attentive to Falcon’s and my specific routines and quirks. Throughout the 9 days, I received regular updates and beautiful photos that immediately put my mind at ease and allowed me to truly relax on my trip. It was completely obvious that Eva wasn't just doing a job, but truly bonding with Falcon as a genuine companion. When I got home, Falcon was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. To top it off, the house was absolutely immaculate. Finding someone you can trust implicitly with your pet and your home is rare. Eva is reliable, trustworthy, and an absolute joy to work with. I give her my highest possible recommendation and will absolutely be booking her again for future trips! Choose Eva for her kind spirit and genuine reliability.”

“Gina was great, can't recommend her enough! It's always a little stressful having a new sitter stay with George but she was excellent. We received nightly updates with lots of pictures and she followed all of our instructions. We returned to a clean house and happy dog. Thank you so much!”

About: I offer over 5 years of professional, paid pet-sitting experience combined with a lifetime of loving and living with dogs. As a lifelong dog owner and experience being a foster dog parent, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. My background includes successfully managing dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, ranging from playful 1-year-old puppies to gentle 13-year-old seniors. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will receive constant companionship, supervision, and a consistent routine. I am experienced in administering oral medications (pills) and adjusting my care style to match your dog's energy levels and personality. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, structured walks, or high-energy playtime, I provide a safe and structured environment that makes them feel comfortable and cared for. Because I work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available throughout the day to provide constant supervision, potty breaks, and companionship. For house sitting, I can blend into your pet's normal routine, ensuring they never feel lonely. For walks and drop-in visits, I can easily accommodate mid-day requests or specific timing needs that fit your schedule. Safety is my absolute top priority. Having fostered and owned dogs of all sizes and personalities, I know how to read their body language to hopefully prevent stressful situations. I am experienced in safely administering oral medications (pills) and managing both high-energy pups and gentle seniors aged 1 to 13. I strictly follow all owner guidelines regarding feeding, exercise, and household rules to maintain a secure, predictable, and trustworthy environment for your furry family member.

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

About: I am a certified animal communicator and reiki practitioner with over 10 years of experience. However I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with vision and hearing impairment. I also volunteer my communication services to animal rescues to help dogs exhibiting puzzling behavior be heard. In addition I work as an animal transporter for several rescues, so I guess you could say I’m a professional canine chauffeur! I have experience working with a wide range of ages and breeds. So be it a pittie puppy, a middle aged pug, or a senior chihuahua, I am comfortable with them all and will ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and secure while you are away. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible which allows me to accommodate your pup’s unique schedule and playtime needs. Whether they are an early bird or a night owl, I’ve got you covered! When caring for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, I acknowledge that I am the new comer coming into their space. I always take it slow and allow the animal to share what they wish to with me, just as you would with a young child. This establishes a foundation of trust that we can build upon.

“Grace was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of our French and English bull dog Brutus & June. She was so kind and loving toward them. She treated are babies as if they were her own. She was very attentive to detail. She had great communication with us and sent us great pictures. She went above and beyond. We have used many dog sitters over the years and I can say with utmost confidence she is the best experience me and my wife have had. Thank you Grace”

“Kirk was amazing with our dog Baxter. He stayed at our place and was very communicative about how Baxter was doing. He took Baxter out for all his favorite walks and made sure Baxter was feeling loved. He left our place spotless when he left and we could tell Baxter was happy. We will use Kirk again and again. He is great.”

I really appreciated her regular updates and photos—it was such a relief knowing both my pup and my home were in great hands. I came back to a happy dog and a tidy home. I’d highly recommend Danielle and would be glad to book her again!”

About: For the past three years, I've been caring full-time for my sister's cat, and part-time for her dog (Cocker Spaniel). But now my sister has moved somewhere new where she can have both pets, and as the cat and dog breeds I would most want to own are prohibitively expensive, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. I also looked after my sister's dog while she was undergoing cancer treatment as a puppy. Those experiences taught me the importance of following care instructions closely, paying attention to changes in behavior, and providing patient, compassionate care. I have a B.A. in Psychology from USC, where I developed strong research skills, so I'm someone who enjoys learning about best practices to provide thoughtful care. As a preschool teacher, I've also learned that everyone is unique, and I always respect each family's routines and preferences. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My family has also had bad experiences with house/pet sitters with our Yorkshire Terriers in the past so I am very sensitive to what it's like on the other side of things. It's also important me that you know that I will never hit or spank your animal. Not only am I uncomfortable with corporal punishment but I truly believe it is not only ineffective but harmful. I'm currently working part-time as a preschool teacher while I'm trying to transition to working into HR. I work from 9:00 am - 5:30 pm M, Tu, F near the UCI campus. W, Th, I am only busy for ~3 hours. I usually come straight home after work and Doordash dinner. I usually wake up at 7am and am asleep by 11-pm, but I am a light sleeper so if a pet starts to cry or stirs I will most likely hear it and be able to help with whatever caused them to wake up. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so my priority is to provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any household routines you'd like me to maintain. I believe in giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting their boundaries and comfort level. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I also promise not to judge. I have dog-sat for one dog that would only eat if hand fed, and another dog that would only respond when you used a baby-voice, and another that only listens to commands in Spanish haha.

“Alexandra is always so great with Leela and makes us feel like we can leave her without having to worry at all!”

“I am so happy that I chose Danna to watch my sweet Bailey boy. He has separation anxiety and I always feel so bad leaving him. Danna sent me updates frequently, lots of pictures, and put my mind at ease seeing that Bailey was in good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
