About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
“I was so happy to find Cathleen and scheduled a day care for my coton de tulear Dino. Cathleen was very responsive and provided super clear instructions to make the whole process easy and stress-free. Cathleen and her pup Corey were so nice and calm and friendly to Dino. Cathleen was very easy to work with and she took great care of my usually very hyper dog. I will definitely come back when I am out of town. Thank you Cathleen and Corey.”

I work from home Monday through Friday, I offer flexible, attentive care, playing or training your pup as needed/requested. My twice-daily 2-mile walks and workout routine keep me active and in-shape. Your dog can join walks per request for fun, professional exercise. I Also can do E-bike walk/runs for more active dogs that need a little bit more than a walk. You can count on my expertise and passion, honed over years at Wags and Wiggles, for top-notch care.

About: I offer personalized care for dogs of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior pups requiring extra TLC. With experience in basic puppy training and a strong focus on comfort and safety, I ensure every dog gets the attention they deserve, whether it's a playful walk or a calming cuddle session!" “Dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine as I’m available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 pm . This gives me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention to your dog, ensuring they get the exercise, love, and care they need during the day." Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have a fluffy French Bulldog named Henry, and we go on daily walks around Rancho Lake and visit the dog park. Henry loves meeting other dogs, so if your pup is looking for a walking buddy, I’d be happy to bring Henry along—with your permission, of course! "I take safety very seriously when walking your dog. I treat each dog like my own, ensuring they are always on a secure leash and closely monitored. I stay aware of my surroundings to avoid potential hazards and take extra precautions to make sure your dog is not only safe but also happy during our walks."

“Kelly was prompt in her communication and made me feel like Addie, my puppy, was in good hands. She took her to the park and sent me pictures and kept me updated, which I appreciated very much. Addie seemed pleasantly tired when I picked her up. I could tell Kelly adored Addie. Addie will definitely come back to Kelly for more cuddles!”
“Oakley enjoyed his first daycare visit with Kirsten and her family! Kirsten provided excellent care and Oakley certainly wants to return for another visit!”
About: I treat every dog like family—with love, patience, and personalized care. What sets me apart is my reliability, strong attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality and routine, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle cuddles, or special dietary or medical needs. One thing my clients especially appreciate is that I always provide proof of walks. I send time-stamped photos, videos, or GPS-tracked walk summaries so you can feel confident knowing your pup is getting the exercise and care they need. I also keep you updated regularly with messages and pictures, so you’re never left wondering how your dog is doing. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Pet care fits really well into my schedule! I’m currently taking online courses to further my education. So I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your fur baby! Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs. I make sure to plan my time so your pet always gets the care they deserve. Whether your dog is staying in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved at all times. In your home, I follow their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep your space clean and treat it with the utmost respect. If your dog is staying in my home, I provide a cozy, welcoming space where they’ll get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

“As always, Hanna and her family take such good care of our Vizsia! Thanks!”
About: I love dogs . Since I was a child I have grown up with pets... I have a nice home with an outside area and would love to care for your dog .. However, . I prefer dogs who are potty trained, neutered, and for male dogs that don’t urinate or “mark” in my home, but will work with your dogs and care for them as my own. Also please NO DROP OFFS before 7:00 am and NO PICKUPS after 10pm, otherwise, that would require another day's booking. No regular doggy daycare business operates 24/7. If you have an early morning flight or late flight, please accommodate accordingly between my hours of operation : 7:00 am to 10 pm. Please be respectful of peoples times and schedules. What you will get from me you won’t get at a commercial doggy daycare is that I don’t watch a ton of dogs! Usually 1-2 dogs max at a time. That way your pup is getting personalized attention. I only do this because this is not my main business and enjoy watching a few pets at a time because I like having dogs around me since my lovely Jack Russell died a few years back of old age and I miss having a pet around. I work from home most days so can watch your dog and give the necessary supervision your pet needs! Thanks and look forward to your reply! I look forward to watching your fur baby! Work remote from home most time during weekdays so can accommodate watching your pet during the day and evenings . Will be around your pet often. Fenced area secured gate- dogs can’t escape plus I keep dogs inside my home and near me so they will be very safe with me.

They have done long and short stays at Shelley's house. The only thing I am always disappointed by is how they are not super excited to see me upon my return because they are so relaxed n their own vacation! This is my first choice versus a stressful stay at a kennel. A+ service full of love and attention!!!!”

He treats every pet like family and has given me fantastic recommendations on food and overall care for my dog, Ari. Scott takes Ari on daily walks over two miles, always ensuring her safety and happiness. With his background in dog training, he’s even helped teach her some manners! He has watched her overnight and throughout the day, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing she’s in such capable and loving hands. Scott is incredibly friendly, kind, and dependable — I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver.”
