House Sitting in Irvine

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my tailored approach to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I bring years of hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need structure, play, and patience—and older dogs who require gentle care, medication management, and a calm, reassuring presence. Whether it’s basic training reinforcement for your growing pup or keeping your senior dog comfortable and happy, I provide dependable, compassionate care with a focus on safety and well-being. Your pet isn’t just another client—they’re family, and I treat them that way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time. This allows me to be fully present and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day—whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company. My open availability means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I create a calm, pet-friendly space free of hazards, with plenty of room for play, rest, and relaxation. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, administering medication, or giving them lots of love and attention, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and always ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and at home.

“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”

About: i’ve been around animals my entire life, so it makes sense why i’d have so much experience and knowledge on caring for dogs and pets of any sort really. I’m currently available all throughout the week except thursday afternoons, i think this would fit my schedule best since i have a part time job Really there’s nothing much to it, if i’m in a clients home i simply follow and and all directions that were put out for me and follow all rules depending on the client and what there comfortable with. i’m very easy going and easy to talk to

About: Ive taken care of dogs all my life and even have 2 of my own. When my oldest was only 3 weeks old I took her in because her mom rejected her. This included bottle feeding every few hours and help going potty. I can easily crate train small pups and even have experience with bigger dogs. I am currently in school and work a few hours a week; however, I am home for the majority of the day so I will be able to provide care as often or as little as needed. My apartment complex has a fenced dog park that I take my dogs daily to. My 2 dogs are very people and dog friendly so your pet will be kept company.

“JB!! Amazing! She was excellent with our dog and cat and sent lots of pictures!! Super helpful around the house as well. Would recommend her a thousand times over”

“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”

About: Over 20 years in the Veterinary field and a pet owner my whole life. Farm girl and I love the fur babies! Can’t wait to meet you! I work part time and set my own hours. I Also have family help if needed. Animals are never left more than a couple hours without “out time”. Have small farm, completely fenced and own 2 amazing dogs. Lots of playroom. Kennels available if required. Space outside and inside for needs of animals!

“Eva was available at last minute and she took on the job of caring for my fur baby in our home and she was awesome. My puppy was in good spirits and happy upon returning home, everything was clean and exactly as it was left. I will book Eva again and again without hesitation. Thank you Eva from my family and I.”

About: Hi, My name is Dan, and I love animals. I have over 30 yrs. Of experience with cats, dogs, horses and rabbits, as I grew up on a farm. I am available to walk your dogs, feed your dogs, cats, or other animals, etc, on short term notice. I am patient, attentive, and if you are going to be gone, I ask that you book my services for twice a day. I am also willing to possibly house sit, as long as you understand that my own furry children would be coming along with me. I did grow up on a farm, the only animals I really don't feel comfortable with are rats or snakes. If I don't accept a booking, it is most likely due to a scheduling conflict or personality differences. Animals are just like people. It is stressful enough for them meeting new people, so if they or I look uncomfortable, I'd rather not accept the booking. I am non confrontational and it's never anything personal. Dog Walking: If you book for me to walk your dogs, please know that I can only handle one large, two medium, or three small dogs at the same time. I also do not mix multiple clients, so if I am walking your dog (s), then I am walking your dog (s)! Drop In Visits: Some people prefer twice a day, others once. I am willing to do either, provided that the cat (s)/ dog (s) in question have plenty of dry food, water, etc, available at all times. House sitting: Yes, I am available for house sitting! If you only need me for one night, I am available at the last minute for those who are in Lubbock, Texas. If you need me for more than 1 night, I will need a separate bedroom where I can keep my own two girls. As much as I love what I do, and would love to help you out, I can't just leave my own girls behind. My cats are house broken, fixed, and have traveled with me many times in the past. For extended stays of more than 5 days, I am willing to travel further than just here in Lubbock. There is no additional charge for extra animals on house sitting. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. I'm self employed so I can set my own schedule, as I do this and other gig jobs right now. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.

“So wonderful! Thank you so much for all the thoughtfulness and care”

About: I've worked on farms growing up, everything from dogs, and cats to chickens, horses and cows. I, myself own a husky, boxer and a cavalier, so I have experience ranging from vastly different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as energy levels. I raised puppies and kittens, as well has fostered and adopted dogs and cats. I've taken care of both senior dogs and cats, as well as more trouble maker types too. I work as an assistant for a DVM and have lots of experience going around my neighborhood taking care of their pets as well, this can be anything from letting them out periodically, walking/playing with dogs, feeding them, and administering medicine. I've pet sat ranging from anywhere between a weekend to a few weeks. I would love to extend my service to others as well, as pets are my passion. I am a part time college student with a lot of free time, so overnight pet care or play time visits 2-3 times a day are not a problem for me. I have myself 3 very friendly dogs, my cavalier spends her night in her crate, an elderly boxer as well as a fun loving husky, about 6, who loves dog parks, dog beaches and most of all, dogs. Everyone is very friendly, spayed/neutered and calm. Our cats are very use to dogs and typically spend most of their time outdoors. They have a large outdoor play area, safely fenced-checked often. Based off preference, they are easily separated and do not need to make contact if desired.
