Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in El Camino Real, Irvine, CA

About: I’m a graduated vet student taking my break after graduation, and I’ve been working in the veterinary field for about 7 years. I have my passion as well as knowledge to spend valuable time with your pets! I can also provide medical cares if needed, or in case if emergency. For now I have 5 spoiled cats at home and they are doing just fine! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested or have any questions :) I’m currently working part-time, but I’m very flexible. I normally can provide cares in throughout the day and evening. I’m also available during weekends and holidays. I know how to get along with dogs and cats! I’m happy to walk, take care, and provide medical cares if needed. I’d love to spend time playing and taking care of your pets!

About: With 10+ years of pet care experience, I specialize in supporting cats who may have medical or special dietary needs. I care for my own CKD + megacolon cat, so administering Sub-Q fluids, injections, pills, and supplements is part of my daily routine. I understand how stressful it can be to leave a pet who needs extra attention—my goal is to provide calm, skilled, and reliable care tailored to your cats unique needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus fully on your pets. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. Because I care for a special-needs cat myself, I’m very used to structured routines—feeding times, medication windows, and monitoring your pet’s comfort are things I take very seriously. You can count on reliable timing and consistent communication during your booking. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I’m very familiar with monitoring health, watching for stress signals, and following strict feeding or medication instructions. I also have experience crating if needed and keeping pets separate when appropriate for safety. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize gentle handling, hygiene, clear communication, and creating a stress-free space—especially for senior pets or those with medical needs.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and recently started taking care of cats, too — and I love every minute of it. I enjoy being active and going on walks, and having a pet by my side makes it even better. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I currently work in aviation so I usually am working about 3-4 days a week and free rest of the week! Usually Monday-thursday i am at home! I make sure that all my pets get fed, have plenty of water, walks, and play with them. I make sure to communicate with all my owners and make sure that I am responsive to every need they have!

“This was another great experience for us. Katie arrived on time, remembering Molly is a shy girl and she allowed Molly to approach and sniff a greeting. We reviewed Molly’s routine and home security and left for our day at Del Mar. it was reassuring to know that Katie would be dropping in during the day and the Rover Report Card pictures arrived promptly. Katie will continue to be our go-to person.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog is 15, blind, has, dietary issues and has no teeth. Mai came and met us before the visit and she was amazing at the visits. My dog is normally high strung and she got him to relax and even sleep before she left. We will come back to Mai every time we need a visit. Don't hesitate to book her, you won't regret it!”

“Randi was amazing. I met her on a shorter notice but she was very willing to help. I have a few cats who are a little more nervous around strangers, but when she entered my house, they all warmed up to her immediately. Not a common occurrence. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip. Would 100% hire again!”

“Bailey was great and so attentive! They were great with our pets and took great care of them at each visit. Great communication and sending photos throughout the visit! We will definitely have Bailey back.”

“Shelley was great, attentive and caring. Great communication and updates!”

“We have been using Genevieve regularly for our two pups for weekly walks and drop in visits. She's the BEST! Our dogs have drastically different personalities yet Genevieve manages them beautifully and they adore her! She is loving, patient, and a total pro with them. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals and adopted my first own dog at the age of 20. We got to spend 16 wonderful years together. I have trained her with the help of a dog trainer and had her in doggy day care while we lived in the big city, so I know what you are looking for when someone else is taking care of your baby. I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home anytime we have a furry friend visiting, so your dog will not miss out on attention and play time and will not spend hours in a crate, etc. We live in a house with a fenced backyard, lots of shade and grass to enjoy. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with parks and trails for walking.

“Rachael was able to create a fast friendship with our dog, who doesn't naturally "take" to everybody. She is throughly professional and clearly enjoys the company of dogs. Best of all, she put my mind at ease while away -- which is easier said than done.”

Dana C.

“We are so grateful to have found Christine! This week was our first time having someone outside our family watch our young golden retriever, and we were totally at ease thanks to Christine. She was so sweet with our pup, sent us tons of photo and video updates, and even asked questions about what rules we enforce with our dog to maintain consistency with our training. Your furry friend will be in good hands with her!”

About: I have over nearly 15 years experience with various pets. Over a decade of experience with family/friends dog care. I’m an easy going animal lover. I do accept multiple dogs to assure your pup has company at all times 🥰 I live in a house with a big back yard for the pups to play in anytime they like! ☺️ We are a household of three experienced sitters, including who works from home so your pups will always be supervised. I’m an independent contractor who can be home whenever I please. I work just a few minutes away from home and usually make multiple stops home per day. My partner works from home so your pups always have company. My home is a calm quiet place with a big yard. It has plenty of room and an easily accessible walking area. I can be playful or calm depending on your pups preference.

“Very caring and did not leave my pup alone! Great distance and walk Mason loved his adventure today.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny lap pups to energetic breeds like huskies. I currently host a few dogs at a time, so your pup will have friendly companions to socialize with throughout their stay. All interactions are supervised to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. New and Repeat Clients: At this time, I’m not offering solo boarding. Also, please note that all dogs in my care will only be fed the food provided by their owners to ensure their safety and to avoid any allergies or sensitivities. Due to my flexible work schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and walks throughout the day—whether that’s potty breaks, playtime, or even snuggles while I work. At my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, with no access to anything harmful, and I supervise closely. I am always quick to clean up any accidents or spills to maintain a clean and welcoming environment.

“Lisa was AMAZING! From our initial messages to the actual visits with my cat she was so responsive, kind, and accommodating with date changes. She very clearly cares about the pets that she watches and I would feel extremely comfortable booking her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Ya-Chu was great! We needed a last minute drop in visit for our dog Scout and she was very communicative as well as sent photos throughout the visit. Communication all together was great! We would love to have them look after our animals again in the future.”

“We were SO glad we found Erica to watch our pets while we were away. During the meet and greet we knew she would be perfect - her calm, kind, and loving demeanor was perfect for our pets. She sent pictures and updates every day, and went above and beyond to make sure our home and everything in it was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter.”
