House Sitting in Garden Grove

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.

“Sarah took such great care of our senior dog and followed all the instructions precisely! She also left our house spotless, and you honestly couldn’t tell someone was staying at our place. Sarah was also quick to respond and send regular updates to us. She also did things around the house like taking in our trash bins and watering our garden. I would highly recommend her and plan to booking her the next time we go out of town.”

“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”

“Its never easy having to leave a pet home for a trip you can't take the pet on. We recently had to do this to travel across the country and looked for help with taking care of our cat at home, where she is most comfortable. Bianca was absolutely wonderful about taking care of our cat, letting her get acquainted at her own pace. Within a couple of days, our cat was snuggling to Bianca like she'd known her for years ! Bianca stayed over at our place to take care of Nutella and she took great care of the home, ensuring the trash was taken out before she left. She left the place very clean and our cat was a happy camper for the duration. I would definitely request Bianca's help again, should the occasion arise.”

About: extremely observant and organized. I like to keep everything on track from medications to potty breaks. I’ve had experience over 4 years taking care of animals of family members making sure they are well fed, exercise met to their standard, and loved. Im currently working night shifts which means I have pretty much all day to stay with your pups I am able to stay on top of things and have everything scheduled for your pet. What is most important for me is keeping their routine and keeping YOUR home intact and secured. I will respect your home and boundaries you might have for me.

“Jane was fantastic with watching our reactive pup for 3 nights, and was awesome at communicating throughout the stay! She even tidied up kitchen and restroom, which was much more than we asked for. Thank you so much, Jane!”

About: My skills are only taking the dogs a bath and taking them on walks, and I play with them as well I give all my attention to them. I start my morning early and that’s when I start my walking, then I come back and have my breakfast, so I will have plenty of time to care for a dog. The care I would give is just giving them attention and making sure their area is always cleaned. Taking them on walks and playing with them!

“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”

About: I've had cats and dogs in my home since I was a child. Since 2020 I have been traveling the country--and beyond--as a full-time, nomadic pet sitter. I have taken care of dogs in Malibu, California; horses and pigs in Ocala, Florida; Ragdoll cats in South Queensferry, Scotland; goats in Oakland, California; and giant bunnies in Oceanside, Washington. I've given medicine to old animals, including insulin injections for dogs and cats. I'm basically the Mrs. Doubtfire of pet care. I travel sometimes with my companion, Cheri Isabella, so sometimes there will be two of us taking care of your animals. I am a full-time pet-sitter. I spend most of my time working as an online writer and illustrator, so I will be around to give your pets as much attention as they need. I do not have a home so I am not able to board pets. I can only take care of pets in their own home.

“Chrstine was fabulous! She was very responsible, timely, my pets loved her, and she sent frequent updates and photos. I would highly recommend for all your pet sitting needs! I have a very needy dog and cat, as well as a rabbit and snake. She was great with them all!”

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

“Jordan was awesome with Olly. She came on short notice! Will use her again.”

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, puppy energy, and senior dog patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of attention and affection I give every pet. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and structure. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives timely and attentive care. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly bookings, I make sure I’m fully available and present for every pet I care for. I also plan my week in advance to accommodate pet sitting requests, making sure I have enough time and flexibility to give each animal proper attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into my routine rather than feeling like a task. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it while prioritizing the pet’s well-being and routine. In my care, pets receive plenty of attention, gentle interaction, playtime, and monitoring to ensure they are happy, safe, and stress free at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and communicate updates so pet parents feel confident and reassured.

“From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, attentive, and experienced Jared is with animals. I got regular updates, photos, and messages, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. When I came back, my dog was relaxed and clearly had been treated with lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

About: Please feel free to dm me so I can give you my number so we can discuss booking if you're not wanting to book with rover due to the fees. Thanks! I have experience in veterinary clinic settings, including handling and assisting with patient care, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and safety. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior animals who need a gentler, more patient approach. I also make sure routines like feeding, medications, and exercise are followed closely so pets stay comfortable and consistent while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine alongside a full-time work schedule. I’m available for visits after work (5PM) on weekdays, and I also have open availability for longer care stays on weekends. I make it a priority to plan my schedule in advance so I can consistently provide reliable care and attention for each pet I take on. I provide care based on each pet’s routine and needs, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after whether I’m in their home or out on a walk. For drop-ins and in-home visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up as needed, giving medication if required, and spending time with the pet through play or companionship so they’re not just cared for but also comforted. I also keep the home tidy and make sure everything is secure before I leave. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk for exercise and stimulation. Overall, I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 and a half years and have worked with puppies, and senior dogs. All of the dogs that I had growing up I trained. I love to go to the beach and take my family dog along I also am very good with obedience training. I just need to know how your dog was trained and I’ll be good! I’ve pet sit for many people before. I currently am not employed but would love to do this as a full time thing! I am able to board Friday to Monday! I can come and pet sit, walk your puppy and take them out to the park! I have a fenced yard that they can run around in. I also have my own room so they can lay on the floor on a dog bed or in a crate if needed! I also have a very big park a block away from my house that I take my family dog running on! If your dog is good with recall or needs extra training with anything that park is a go to for me!

“Emily did a great job taking care of our fur baby, Pearl. She was flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Pearl can be afraid of new people, but she warmed up to her immediately. We highly recommend Emily to anyone seeking a professional and caring pet sitter/walker.”

About: I've taken care of three cats since I was 10 and one dog for a short time. Been responsible for vet visits, bathing and feedings. I currently work till 4pm M-F so I'm looking forward to spending my afternoons interacting with your pets! Weekdays after 4pm and anytime on Saturday's and Sundays! I will follow any feeding, bathing, walking, etc. schedule provided by and in clients home. I can also help with crate or any additional trainings needed.

About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any pets of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give your pets! I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your dog deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet dog. I will do my very best to adhere to your dogs schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.

“We feel so lucky to have found Carey. She house sat for us and took the BEST care of our dog Lily. She sent many, many pictures and videos of our Lily and it made us so happy to see our puppy dog was having such a fun time while we were away. I will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
