House Sitting Foothill Ranch

“Danielle was great with my pup Khaleesi! Danielle was careful and diligent as our pup had a strained ACL. Danielle took extra care to make sure she wasn’t jumping and playing and stayed the night with her to keep her comfy. I will be using Danielle going forward .”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud Doberman mom, caring for dogs is something that is genuinely personal and meaningful to me. I have 6 years of experience dog walking and dog sitting, along with years of experience caring for dogs in my own family. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s small dogs, and now I have firsthand experience caring for my own large dog. Because of this, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, needs, and comfort level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care because I experience that same feeling whenever I entrust someone with my own dog. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their dog is being treated with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to keep them comfortable while you’re away, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and love being able to make time for pets! My availability can change from week to week depending on my work schedule, but my weekdays are typically very open, especially during the daytime. Feel free to reach out! My typical availability: * Monday: Available after 11 AM * Tuesday–Friday: Typically very flexible, with the most availability during the daytime * Weekends: Usually available during the day; evening availability varies depending on my work schedule * Evenings: Often available during the week, with weekend evenings depending on work I’m currently in school for nursing, so I set aside time for studying, and I also work part-time at a brewery with a schedule that varies each week. Because of this, advance notice is always appreciated! It helps me plan around school and work and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows, so please feel free to reach out even if you need someone on shorter notice. I’m always happy to see if I can make it work! I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime house sitting. I’m also willing to travel throughout Orange County to care for your pets. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care because I feel the same way with my own dog, Jade. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable knowing their baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. How my care for your pet is unique: * Getting to know them: I love learning about your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. * Following their routine: I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, treats, playtime, and any special care they may need. * Respecting their personality: Every pet is different. Some are ready to be best friends right away, while others need a little time to warm up. I’m patient and let each pet get comfortable with me at their own pace. * Prioritizing safety: I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could potentially put your pet at risk. I never want to take unnecessary chances with their safety. * Respecting your home: When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their things organized, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. * Keeping you informed: Communication is really important to me. In my previous dog-walking and sitting experience, I’ve made a habit of leaving a printed visit summary after each visit. I fill out the appropriate details, including whether your pet ate, potty details, treats given, the duration of the walk, and an overall description of how the visit went. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can see your pet while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals—not simply someone stopping by to check a box. I know how reassuring it is to receive those little updates when you’re away from your pet, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety always come first.

About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.

About: I love the outdoors/nature and using up all my energy I have for the day which help my pet at home stay happy and satisfied in everything aspect of life. Same can go for yours… I have a full time job, I do start later than usual so I’m available early in the morning or even in the early hours of the afternoon. I also have free availability all day and night Sat & Sun. Just don’t hesitate to communicate and we can come up with a plan that can work best for you. I am very cautious of my pets surroundings, if I were to leave for the day, I make sure nothing is in reach for a destruction or a mess. I do shut all doors and gates leading to upstairs. I check the floor to see if there is anything that should not be left unattended or food as well. Lastly I just make sure there is enough toys or object to keep him occupied

“Great communication ahead of arrival and great with our dogs so we can break away and get some dinner for a date night. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Hoai plays calming music for her and makes suggestions to help. Thanks Hoai!”

About: A lifelong animal lover and your new reliable pet sitter. Im available for drop in care/walks, overnights and dog park trips. I am comfortable providing medications and working within strict dietary guidelines. I have a 13 year old terrier mutt named Jack, he's the sweetest boy and will stay with my adult son when I'm tending to the overnight care of your pet(s). My hobbies include reading, yoga, spending time with my family and learning how to sew! I currently work part time as a yoga instructor. Most of my classes are in the evening. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of your pets care! When I arrive into your home, I immediately greet the pet(s), having them sniff me and gauge if they want any pets. I'll spend time with the pets if they are ready/willing. From there I'll tend to water, litter box and come back to direct cuddles and play. If your pet is very cuddly, I'll spend as much time as they need during an overnight stay cuddling and giving pets.

About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, and I also regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a calm, welcoming home with a yard and plenty of space for dogs to relax and feel at home. I also have a great nearby park where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and care schedule as closely as possible. For added convenience, pickup may also be available with advance notice, depending on location and scheduling. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am the sole caregiver for pets booked through my Rover account. No one else assists with pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s needs and usual schedule, so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a calm, comfortable home with a yard and a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I supervise pets closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. There’s also a great park nearby for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

“Emily is a wonderful sitter, 2nd time she’s helped us out. Great at confirming up front and responding to messages quickly. So great to have someone to rely on with no worries.”

“Shahla is THE BEST! She watched our dogs for the long Thanksgiving holiday and became their new best friend! She sent us photo and video updates throughout the day, everyday. She always reassured us that they were happy and safe. This was our first time using Rover and I feel so blessed to have found Shahla. Please do not hesitate to have her watch your house and pets while you are away. She will not disappoint! Thank you, Shahla! xoxo, Hank and JJ”

About: Your pet will be treated like family. ❤️ I’ve cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, including puppies, seniors, multiple pets, and dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I currently have a Pomeranian and have previously cared for multiple dogs and cats. I work from home, so I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I especially enjoy long walks, jogging, and helping dogs get the exercise they need. If your dog is high-energy or needs more than a standard walk, jogging and extended exercise are available for an additional charge. I also enjoy reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks. I have a large fenced backyard and experience volunteering at animal shelters. I’m loving, punctual, careful, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for. Need a regular walking partner for your high-energy dog? I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and exercised! 🐶 I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide consistent and reliable care. I’m especially interested in recurring dog walks and can work with your dog’s regular routine. I offer standard walks as well as longer walks, jogging, and extra exercise for an additional charge for dogs who need to burn more energy. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m careful about following your instructions, your dog’s routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’m punctual, responsible, and attentive during walks. I’ll make sure your dog is safely handled and supervised throughout the visit.

About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

About: My journey as a pet caretaker began in childhood, I was the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they needed someone to care for their dogs. My approach is grounded in understanding each dog’s unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes, sharing the joy of exploring nature together. However, I recognize that not all dogs are hikers, so I adapt our activities to their comfort and capability. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I am committed to providing them with the extra care they deserve. As a dedicated pet sitter and part-time student who genuinely loves spending time with animals, my flexible schedule allows me to provide pet care services tailored to meet the needs of your beloved pets. I organize my schedule to ensure your pets receive consistent, loving attention. Whether it's a quick drop-in during a study break or an extended weekend of boarding, I am committed to offering top-notch care. I have a fenced side and back yard. A door is attached at the end of side yard and can not easily be jumped if you have a jumper. I have turf grass and some real grass at a park less than a 2 minute walk. I have patio furniture that has been used to catch some sun rays and relax - definitely dog friendly. Big tile living room to play and couches to jump on. Your pets become a part of my family in a safe and nurturing environment while you’re away.

“Vanessa was great when she stayed and watched our dog and cat! She was super responsive, made sure our pets were well taken care of, and sent us photos throughout the stay. Our pets were so happy when we got home, and it made us able to go on a trip at ease knowing she was there to care for them.”
