Pet Sitting Fairhaven

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family still regularly trust me to take care and look after their favorite family members. I have only had big dogs but also am requested to care for a friend's corgi when they are away. I have experience in training my own dogs and working with dogs of all sizes and stages of life. I currently work full-time but work a fairly flexible schedule. I am available early mornings to take your favorite family member on a walk, or in the afternoons if your pup prefers. When I first meet you and your pup I always tend to take extensive notes and ask questions as needed. Ensuring your favorite family members' safety is my utmost priority. It is my goal to ensure that your pup is cared for and spoiled always. Each pup is unique and has their own set of needs and I am willing and able to listen and abide by all of them to ensure that they are healthy and safe for many years to come.

About: I have taken care of and been responsible for family members dogs for as long as I can remember—my favorite thing to do is get to know them and play with them. I am currently in-between jobs having just graduated college. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to travel and adjust my schedule to play with your pets and get to know them! In your home, I am capable of listening to detailed instruction and follow you and your animal’s needs so that everyone is comfortable and safe.

“Rebecca took great care of my 3 cats! It's obvious that she cares for animals, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Highly recommend!”

“Yuki was fantastic! This was the first time using Rover and her services. She watched our dogs for 8 days. We had a noise complaint/neighbor issue with our dogs while we were gone and Yuki went the extra mile to ensure the dogs were well cared for and that my nerves were eased. Our dogs have separation anxiety, so it makes it hard to be okay leaving them. I really appreciated the communication from Yuki throughout our time away. I highly recommend her and will use her services again!”

About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.

“Tessa took care of our cat Olivia for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation. She came in to visit and care of Olivia once a day. She was absolutely fantastic. She provided daily updates with photos to us. It was clear that Olivia adored Tessa and could not wait for her daily cuddles. Tessa is a kind and warm person who loves animals. I hope she can take care of our pet next time we are out of town. Tessa, thank you for being so amazing!”

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: 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: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have experience watching family and friends’ dogs during trips, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am typically available after 4:00 PM for walks and pet care I provide attentive care, pay close attention to each pet’s needs, go at their pace, and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable.

About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 6 years and have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I also worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and following each dog's routine. I treat every pet like family and always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets throughout the week. I can work around classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I communicate regularly with pet parents and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience caring for my own three dogs and working at an animal shelter, I'm comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take the time to build trust with every pet, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I'd give my own.

“Great job caring for our disabled cat!”

“I am SO grateful for Ashely. She is so warm and wonderful and an absolute cat whisperer 💕 My cats don’t come out for anyone else. I don’t think I could ever leave town without her.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 12. I cared for my dog since he was a puppy up until he recently passed of old age. I also care for my families dogs when they go out of town. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes. My girlfriend and I work full-time. I work from 9am-6pm and she works from 7am-4pm. On the weekends we are usually home all day. We take routine walks in the morning and afternoons after our dinners. I live in an apartment where they’re pet friendly and have pet spas along with specific spot for pets to use the restroom. If I am walking your pet, I can assure you that I will 100% keep my eyes on them and pick up after them. If I see another dog that I don’t know coming our way I will walk the opposite way to avoid them and keep your dog safe.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I can remembers. We grew up with a Chihuahua and German Shepherd, and now I have a Husky. I love taking her for long walks and hikes on the weekends! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.

“Marie is the best and takes care of our kitten so well. We’ve booked her multiple times and can’t wait for little Josie to see her friend again soon!”

About: Use this code for $20 off!- DANAP81645 Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my 11 year old son, our Australian Shepherd, Otis, and our two bearded dragons. I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.
