“Courtie was amazing with my baby Douglas. She sent so many photos and kept me updated without me having to ask any questions during my trip I 100% would recommend her.”


“Autumn stayed with our dog Riley over Memorial weekend. She did a great job. Riley seemed very relaxed and calm when we came home. Autumn was good about communicating and sending photos. We would definitely use her again to take care of Riley.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and today I’m a proud dog mom of two! Over the past 4+ years, I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and even light training. I’m confident, calm, and patient—especially with anxious or high-energy dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique needs and personalities. Whether your pup needs a gentle walk or lots of playtime, I’m here to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I currently have open availability and a super flexible schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention and care. I treat pet care like a priority, not a side task—because I know your dog isn’t just a pet, they’re family. 💛 I treat my dogs like the important family members they are, and I’ll care for your pup the same way. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure all outdoor time is fully supervised and on-leash for safety. I have two friendly dogs for company and I’m very in tune with each pet’s needs—whether they need space, playtime, structure, or snuggles. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. 🐾

“Very sweet… kept me posted with pictures and How “Brady” was doing.”


About: Hi! I’m Bailey. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies to older dogs who move at their own pace. I’ve also spent plenty of time with cats and a variety of small pets, and I enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to find someone you feel good about leaving your pets with. I take that responsibility seriously and always try to keep things as stress-free and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just some quiet company, I’m here to help make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I currently work a part-time job and attend college, but my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I always make sure your pets get the attention and care they need—without any disruption to what they’re used to. I treat every home I enter with care and respect, always making sure to leave things just as they were. You can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time you’re away.

“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”


“Simple set up, Professional, and Kind person!”


“Thank you Jingying for taking care of my little poochies!”


“Angie watched our pup for 5 days and was great! Very communicative and felt genuinely cared for that Penny was in great hands”


“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”



“We had the pleasure of having Allyn stay at our home to care for our three dogs—including two Great Danes and a Shih Tzu—as well as our chickens for nine days, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allyn was professional, reliable, and incredibly loving with all of our animals. Managing large dogs and chickens isn’t always easy, but Allyn handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated regularly with photos and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and all of our animals were clearly happy, healthy, and well cared for. We highly recommend Allyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”


About: Since birth, I have never not owned a pet (specifically dogs and cats). So I guess you could say I have a lifetime of experience? 🤷🏼♀️ But seriously - I’ve been watching my family’s dogs since high school, and have expanded to now being the trusted sitter for my friends! I not only grew up in an animal household, but I am the proud momma of a cat! She is literally my child - I taught her how to do tricks, walk on a harness, and even socialized her with people so she wouldn’t be afraid when we had guests! I spent a lot of time researching cat behavior and care - and rest assured I would take the same tender love and care for your fur baby as well. Since I have over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs - I can handle anything ranging from energetic puppies, to managing the medical and medicinal needs of a senior dog. No task is too big or too little for your pooch. Thank you for taking a chance on me - I promise to love and care for your pet as if they were my own! I will not only do my best in making sure the needs of your dog are met - but I will also provide constant photos and check ins! Thank you for the opportunity - and I look forward to meeting my new furry best friend! 🐾 I WFH full time so I have a lot of flexibility to step away during the day to run errands, or check on your fur babies! I have a laptop so I can also bring that for overnight stays, so no worries on that front! I live in an apartment with my husband, and our cat Daisy 🌼 We do a good job splitting the care of our cat, so no issues if I need to step away for a couple hours to do a check in or walk, or an overnight stay! As a pet owner myself - I know how stressful it is to leave your fur baby with someone new. I will follow your instructions to a T - and make sure there is constant communication on the wellbeing of your pet. I will make sure I understand what is expected of me before you leave - so you have peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of. I also encourage a meet and greet before booking - I can meet your baby and we can go over specifics!

“This is the second time we’ve had Laura watch our 2 boys and she is just the best! She keeps you updated on how things are going with your pups and checks in with you regularly. We really love working with Laura and so do our pups!”

About: Hi, I’m Vandy! My husband and I both work from home, which means your dog will enjoy round‑the‑clock love, supervision, and plenty of attention. We live right across from Tustin Legacy Park, surrounded by beautiful walking trails and several dog parks, so daily walks and playtime are always part of the routine. Our apartment is a cozy one‑bedroom with a den. There is plenty of space for pets to feel at home and our patio has dog‑friendly turf, perfect for quick potty breaks if needed. We only accept a limited number of bookings at a time so every dog gets personalized care in a safe, calm environment. We’ve cared for small, medium, and large dogs over the years and know how to make pets feel comfortable away from their families. We’re especially mindful of maintaining your dog’s usual schedule, feeding routine, and comfort items (beds, toys) to reduce stress while you’re away. We send frequent photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is not just cared for, but loved as if they were our own. Whether it’s boarding or daycare, we’re here to give your pup the perfect home‑away‑from‑home experience. Since my husband and I both work from home, we’re around to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day - from morning potty breaks to mid‑day walks and evening playtime. Our community has multiple dog‑friendly parks and walking paths right outside our door, so walks are built naturally into our daily routine. When we want to give dogs extra adventure, we also have Tustin Legacy Park nearby for longer outings. Safety and comfort are at the heart of how we care for pets. Our home is fully dog‑friendly. We’ve secured anything that could be harmful and keep our few houseplants safely out of reach. Our patio is completely fenced and enclosed with turf, giving dogs a secure space for quick potty breaks or fresh air time. We only host one booking at a time (or pets from the same family), so your dog will always get calm, personalized attention. We follow your instructions closely -feeding, walks, and routines -and provide frequent photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for like family.

Ashlee H.
“Ashlee is my top choice for watching my dogs when we go out of town over long weekends. We have 2 senior dogs - a 14 year old chihuahua, and an 11 year old golden retriever. Ashlee is our most trusted sitter because she is very good at giving both dogs their medicine. The golden is easy, put the pill in her kibble. The chihuahua is more difficult as her meds need to be crushed and mixed with water, and mixed in with her food. Plus the chihuahua doesnt sleep well overnight, waking up constantly. Ashlee is very good about letting her out regardless of what time it is at night, and whether or not she was sleeping. Our dogs are definitely not easy, but Ashlee is always more than happy to watch them. Our dogs love her, and were so lucky to have found a great sitter! As an added bonus - we also have a hermit crab and some fish and she makes sure theyre also taken care of!”
