Irene is fantastic. She was very patient with our large 95 lb dog, who is gentle but shy with new people. She formed a nice bond with her, and was extremely reliable and always communicated and verified the drop-ins, as they changed every week over our 10 week period. Irene takes great pictures and provides excellent reports. She does not hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern during her drop ins. We are looking forward to having Irene visit our girl again.

About: Hello! I’m a dependable and responsible animal lover who enjoys helping pets stay comfortable and active. I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur babies. I had the joy of being a mama to a cockapoo. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends. I just love being around animals. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am primarily available weekday afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I keep my service area local so I can remain reliable, punctual, and flexible. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to surroundings, leash safety, gates/doors, water needs, and any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect each client’s home and treat it with the same level of care I would expect for my own.

Julie is the best!! I booked with a few other sitters before and I can confidently say that Julie is by far the most reliable and caring one. My dog was happy and tired when we came home - Julie took him on multiple walks and his favorite park. His breakfast and dinner schedules were perfectly on time and I appreciated the many photo updates I received throughout the day. Will definitely book with Julie again!

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and enjoy spending quality time with them. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful pups to more relaxed companions. I’m attentive, patient, and fully committed to making each walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether it’s a high energy play session or a calm stroll, I take pride in building trust with every dog I meet. I am available most weekdays with various time slots throughout the day, I have limited availability on weekends for dog walking. I’m currently accepting a small number of clients so I can provide consistent, high-quality care. I take good care of other people's home to ensure it was left exactly how I found it. I will only be popping in and out for a quick potty break/feed/play visit and to gather your pups and return them for their walks.

About: A few fun facts about me: 🚽 I clean the litter box as often as I flush my own toilet 🥗 My pets eat organic, while I’m perfectly fine with fast food 💇 They get daily grooming, while I have a bad hair everyday 🫧 I keep their bowls spotless and shining 🦮 I make sure dogs get real walks, not just quick potty breaks (And this part might be a little bit long) I truly treat pets as family, but I also believe in raising them in a healthy, balanced way. I don’t just love them, I care about their physical and emotional well-being. I’ve raised my Shiba Inu (Chai) since she was 3 months old, and she’s now 10. Shibas are known for being stubborn, but she is well-trained, emotionally stable and sweet, and always praised by our vet for her health and temperament. I’ve always made sure she has the best care, structure, and attention she needs to thrive. I also have two long-haired cats, one Ragdoll (Mabu) and one British Longhair (Mango), so I’m very familiar with the level of grooming, patience, and daily care they require. Their coats are always well-maintained and tangle-free. Mango went through serious health challenges two years ago when he was 5-month old, and I personally managed his treatment at home for 84 days, followed by months of close care. He is now strong, active, and very healthy. I’ve also handled emergency situations and know how to act quickly when something isn’t right. Through all of this, I’ve become very comfortable with medications, health monitoring, and understanding different pet personalities. I’m patient, observant, and detail-oriented, but also calm and reliable in stressful situations. I’m flexible, communicative, and I genuinely care. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be understood, respected, and cared for like one of my own. I work part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a good amount of time caring for fur babies throughout the day! I keep a calm, safe home and have experience helping cats and dogs live together comfortably. I take time to understand their personalities and make sure everyone feels at ease.

About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!

About: I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

Rancho San Joaquin, Irvine, CA, 92612

About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)

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!

Serena was absolutely incredible. Both of our dogs are rescues and can be very timid, so finding someone we could fully trust with their specific needs was extremely important to us. Our newest dog had never stayed with a pet sitter before, and we were understandably nervous, but Serena immediately put both us and our dogs at ease. Our dogs warmed up to her right away, which says a lot about her calm, patient, and genuinely caring demeanor. It was clear from the beginning that she has a natural connection with animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. Throughout the stay, Serena was professional, communicative, and thoughtful. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, took excellent care of our home, and most importantly, our dogs were genuinely happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We could tell they felt safe and comfortable with her. We also had to reschedule unexpectedly, and Serena was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we appreciated so much. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
