House Sitting in Laguna Niguel

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend. I’m currently available to help in any capacity! Feel free to reach out. I am a full-time mom and have an open schedule. I have a large home with plenty of room for your pet! There are grass areas and plenty of shade. My neighborhood has great trails where we can walk dogs. I love all animals and always treat them well! I will be sure to send you updates and photos if requested.

“Emma did an awesome job watching our fur babies! She sent us regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. 😍 She is going to be our go-to sitter from now on!!!”

“Alexandria was excellent!! She stayed at our home and took such great care of our dog! I will use her again ! She communicated with us - just so happy with her!!”

“Janet stayed at our home for a long weekend to watch our dogs, Milo and Ollie, and we're so thrilled to have someone we can trust take care of them while we're away! Ollie is very nervous around new people and takes time to open up. Janet was super patient with him and kept me posted on how he was doing in their interactions while we were gone. On top of that, Janet is prompt with communication, super professional, and did an excellent job looking after not just the dogs but our home, too. Looking forward to having her back again!”

“Lisa was reliable and a great communicator. She was loving with my two dogs and gave them great care over her 5 day stay. You can tell she is a true animal lover. I would use Lisa again in the future for house/pet sitting! I came home to happy dogs. :)”

“Caroline watched Indy over the Thanksgiving holiday and we could not be happier with how well she treated our pup and our home. She was super responsive, sent photos and updates every day, and we will absolutely book her again in the future. Thanks Caroline!”

“Lamar was awesome! We went across the country for a week while he stayed in our house and watched our bearded dragon and somewhat fiesty old english sheepdog and he was great! A true professional from the meet and greet through the visit. Great communication, pictures throughput the stay, and we came home to a clean house and healthy happy pets. I highly recommend Lamar for house and pet sitting.”

About: A "Dog First" Approach My world revolves around my dog, and I bring that same compassion and respect to yours. I am a firm believer in letting dogs set the pace. Whether it’s going for a long "sniffary" to engage their brain, providing mental enrichment activities, or my favorite—cuddles and telling them they’re the best ever—I make sure your dog feels seen and loved. For The Dogs Who Are Selective I have a natural touch with dogs that are shy or picky about their humans. My neighbor’s Blue Heeler/Husky/Shepherd mix—who is very "iffy" with strangers—is now one of my best buds. I read body language and wait for a dog to approach me on their own terms. If your dog is a "one-person dog" or just prefers a calmer presence, we will get along great. The Puppy-Proof Eye I’ve had my own dog since he was 8 weeks old. I know exactly how quickly a puppy will run off with something they shouldn't have if you look away for two seconds! I bring that same level of hyper-vigilance to your home, ensuring your pup stays safe and out of trouble while you’re away. Your Home is My Office As a fully remote professional, I’m not just stopping by—I’m moving my office to your living room. This means constant companionship for your dog and the peace of mind that your home is occupied and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific house rules or routines to ensure your dog’s day stays as normal as possible. Momo and I have a very consistent schedule. I feed him around 6 am then go back to sleep. 7:30 am we are at the park either meeting up with his friends or on our own and we stay at least 45 min either playing fetch or walking around (likely longer unless I have meetings). After that I come home work for about 30 min, because now we play more fetch in the hallway. Finally I will work for about 5+ hours, then head to the gym, come back and depending on how sleepy he is either take him for another walk or let him nap. Around 5pm its his dinner time and we end up going for a late night walk around 7 pm. Throughout the day there is plenty of playing, chasing and cuddles. Some days we will substitute the park for going on a long walk and I'll let him tell me where we are going. Weekends I try to take him to the Lake for a big walk or to the beach, but I take him out at least 3-4 times a day and its the best part of my day. Caring for a dog is understanding their boundaries and what is best for them. Whether your dog needs to be laying next to me while I work, tucked in for naps, or needs his bed in the only spot in the house where the sun shines so they can bake like a potato, I will accommodate. I'd be happy to send photos of them throughout the day and provide updates whenever needed.

“Rachel is such a lovely person and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She was very communicative and left the sweetest letter to my pets after her stay. I can tell she really connected with them and that makes me so happy. She stepped in at the last minute, and took care of everything over the thanksgiving holiday. Did great with our both our cats and our Corgi. A true gem! We will definitely book her again.”

“Alison was great. We will definitely have her stay with the dogs again. She sent daily updates and has great communication. She understands that some dogs need a little extra love and care. Our dogs were happy when we got home and I know they got extra care.”

Erica W.

“Hannah took great care of our puppy! Lots of communication and updates. Very detail oriented on feeding and potty schedules. Highly recommend!”

Genevieve S.

“Claudia was on time and very kind to Oliver. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I got my first dog when I was eight years old, and we were inseparable. I have always been people’s go to person to watch their pets! This led to me wanting to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I have almost 5 years of clinical experience and just completed my first year of vet school! I hope to give your pet the time and energy they need and I would love to update you with photos on all the fun things we do together. I am currently living at home for a few months before I start school in the fall. I am pretty flexible during the weekdays and weekends. I will care for your pets by feeding and talking them on walks as needed. I will also make sure our visits are stimulating and fun for them! We will spend some time hanging out and I would love to give them plenty of belly rubs and scratches.

“100% recommend Celine. She house sat for me one weekend and I normally get so much anxiety leaving my dog. She sent me pictures the entire time (as requested), took him for walks and other adventures. I could tell she really loves dogs and she took amazing care of my baby. Will definitely book again when I need someone to take care of him.”

“Jennie was amazing with our 3 dachshunds. She sent a ton of pictures and kept us updated on what they were doing. My Kali doesn’t take to strangers very well but took to Jennie immediately I will use her anytime I need a doggie sitter”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 11+ years, wether it was my own while my family is on vacation, to stopping by family friends houses to walk, feed, and take care of their dogs! I’ve taken care of dogs as young as a couple weeks to as old as 11 years! I’m a licensed hairstylist, so my schedule varies depending on the day, with shifts ranging anywhere from 3–10 hours in the salon. I offer pet care on my days off, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to dedicate my full attention to your pets. On those days, I’m typically free throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, check-ins, or overnight care, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making pets feel at home. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I also keep a clean, calm environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Rachel was fantastic!! Trustworthy, responsible, considerate, clean, kind, and a true dog lover! We will absolutely be booking her again to watch our Aldo boy! Can’t recommend her enough! :) thanks Rachel!”

Morgan H.

“Sofiya was amazing with my two frenchies, Phoebe and Diesel! She took such great care of them and kept me updated, which gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I came home to two very happy pups. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter!”

Briana D.

“Viktoriia was such an amazing pet sitter for us over the holidays. She took great care of our 3 cats and dog while we were away for 6 days. Super reliable, responsive, and sent lots of updates and photos. Most importantly, all our pets loved her and she spent so much quality time with them. We are so lucky to have found her!! Thank you Viktoriia!!”
