“I was so pleased with Matilda. I will be rebooking for sure! Thank you, Matilda.”

About: Growing up, I always had two dogs. Most recently I had a ChowChow mixed with a German Shepard (a very agggresive rescue) and a pure bread German Shepard. I’d take them on daily walks together and to a dog park to play catch with them and work on training them on my own. When they both passed away, I couldn’t take the heartache to go through the pain again. That’s when, I started to care for friends, family and neighbors pets to fill my heart and love for dogs without the heartache. Many friends and family have relied on me in Chicago to pet sit for them or take their dogs on walks. When I moved to California I knew I wanted to start pet sitting and dog walking, I just didn’t have an avenue to start it back up until I found Rover. I am very patient, loving and caring. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, age and tempers. Currently I work from home and am available for boarding all week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to devote time to play with your pups and take them out for walks throughout the day! I live right by the beach and take multiple walks throughout the day with my 3 year old. We’d love to have your pup tag along with us! I have a two story place, with plenty of room to host your fur baby. Although, I do not have a dog of my own at the moment, I do have a 3 year old that loves dogs just as much as I do!

About: I have had Boxers as family members for over 24 years. From puppy to senior. I have also sat my daughter’s Golden many times. Many visits to dog parks. I’m retired senior in search of some dog sitting activities. I have live in Aliso Viejo and Orange County for 28 years. I have a very flexible schedule. I have 2 Boxers. 12 and 10. They love walks in the neighborhood and several trips a week to dog parks. I could provide small walks for other dogs.

About: *Availability Updated!* I learned to care for animals (Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, Puggle, Black-mouth Cur) through raising, training and caring for them as part of my daily responsibilities since I was a child. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. With a little advance notice I can accommodate most schedules pretty easily. In addition to work I spend part of my days driving my children to/from activities and school. I also workout regularly and dog walks fit into that routine nicely. My core values include compassionate care for animals - pets or otherwise. My own home environment is simple, quiet, spacious. I have lots of experience with elderly pets and medicines and supplements. I prefer to avoid any food or treats not specifically designated.

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and learned pet care from the best - my mother, who owns a successful dog walking company. Growing up in this environment gave me hands-on experience with cats of all personalities. This unique background means I understand feline behavior instinctively and can quickly adapt to each cat's individual needs. What sets me apart is this combination of professional knowledge passed down through my family's business and genuine passion for animals. I don't just check on your cat - I provide the attentive, respectful care they deserve while you're away. Your furry friend will receive the same level of professional attention my mother's clients have trusted for years, with the personal touch that comes from truly understanding how special your furry family member is. I bring both the experience and heart to make sure they feel secure and loved in their own home. As a business owner, I have the luxury of controlling my own schedule, which means I can provide the consistent, reliable care your pet deserves. Unlike traditional employees with rigid 9-5 schedules, I can easily incorporate pet visits, walks, and check-ins throughout my day. My flexible routine allows me to take breaks from work whenever your pet needs attention - whether that's midday walks, feeding times, or just some quality companionship. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I can work around your pet's established schedule rather than trying to fit them into mine. This flexibility also means I'm available for last-minute bookings, extended care during your travel, or regular ongoing services that fit seamlessly into both our routines. Your pet won't be squeezed between other commitments - they'll receive dedicated time and attention when they need it most. Having my own business has taught me the importance of reliability and communication, qualities that translate perfectly to pet care. You can count on consistent updates and the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone with a flexible schedule is prioritizing your pet's wellbeing. Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. When dog walking, I always use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and follow your specific route preferences and safety instructions. I keep dogs away from potential hazards and never let them interact with unfamiliar animals without your permission. For cat sitting visits, I understand that cats feel most secure in their familiar environment. I'm careful to check that doors and windows remain secure, follow your cat's established routines, and respect their preferred hiding spots and safe spaces. I always ensure litter boxes are clean, fresh water is available, and any plants or hazards are kept out of reach. In your home, I treat everything with the same care I'd want for my own space. I'll follow your house rules exactly, keep areas tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide that "lived-in" look while you're away. You'll receive photo updates during each visit so you can see your pet is happy and your home is secure. My goal is to provide such reliable, trustworthy care that you'll feel completely at ease while away from your beloved pet.

“Compassionate, caring, professional, Micah is epic. Bodie, one of our rescues can be a bit skitterish around humans. Micah looked after him and baker over the Thanksgiving holiday and did an excellent job. He sent us pictures and video of the two having a good old time during his visits. He was constantly in communication with us during his visits which put our minds at ease. Couldn't ask for anyone better to look after them.”

About: I have had a deep love of dogs my entire life and currently have an 8 year old Australian Sheppard. Being outside and making sure pups get in the best sniffs are my favourite things! I can’t wait to meet your dog and be a positive part of their day. I am only working part time at the moment and would love to fill my afternoons with dog walks and my weekends with visits and adventures with your fur babies. I am happy to go for long or short walks, play with toys, or just get some good pets and scratches in at home Safety and good sniffs are my priority. I am happy to follow any specific instructions you give and love to get to know each dogs particularities! My Aussie loves to grab snacks off the sidewalk so I’m very accustomed to paying close attention on walks and making sure everyone stays safe. I will love your dog like it is my own and treat them with love and respect.

“Yara was a very caring drop-in for my dog and cat, coming twice a day for 6 days. She got to know both of them quite well, commenting on their different personalities. When I need pet care again I will definitely contact Yara!”

“I had Jaclyn watch my cat and I cannot recommend her enough!! She's extremely communicative and she went above and behind to make sure Cheddar was well taken care of! We had a power outage and my cat was sick before I left so I wanted to make sure my cat was well looked after. Not only that, she also has a green thumb and kept all of my plants alive :) She gave me great peace of mind while I was traveling 5/5!”

I treat all of my dog clients like they are my own, giving them lots of walks, love and attention. I also have experience giving medications and diabetes injections as well. I do not work outside of the home and have freedom to spend as much time as possible with my clients. We can work out what schedule works best for your dog. I care for your pet at my place and make sure they are comfortable in the surroundings. I always meet with clients before the visit so they can be assured their dog is in the best spot for them.

About: I have had and taken care of all kinds of animals almost my entire life. I have taken care of all of my dogs and cats from when they were puppies and kittens to when they have reached their elderly years, thus providing me with all life stage experience. I have experience administering liquid oral medication. Litter boxes could never scare me away and i understand the picky kitties who need a good deep clean on their litter box (my cats are quite picky as well). I have raised/taken care of all kinds of dogs from border collie's to maltipoo's and I love them all the same. I absolutely adore animals and my goal is to provide care and love to your animals while you're away. I do currently work full time but with reasonable hours. During the week I am available in the morning from 6am-7am and then in the evening from 4:30pm to 8pm. On weekends I am available all day. For drop in visits: I will arrive at your home and start by checking on each animal. Provide fresh food and water as per the feeding schedule you have provided and then spend time with each animal in whatever they prefer (example: if they prefer more cuddles than play time we can focus on that or do a little of both) Once all animals have been sufficiently loved up and all their needs are met I will check in with you and let you know how they are doing.
