House Sitting Laguna Woods

“Claudia was an amazing pet-sitter to our dog and cat! After meeting her beforehand and seeing how happy Chase and Jojo were to see her, we knew they were in good hands! She sent us pics of our boys and kept us updated. Claudia is the sweetest and friendliest woman you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend her.”

“Emily was such a gem to work with from start to finish. Our pups thoroughly enjoyed her time and attention, she cared for them and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend! Will book again!”

“Rachel was great! Jessie bonded with her quickly!”

“I cannot express enough how amazing Carmen is as a pet sitter. We were out of the country for two weeks, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong! But Carmen made what should have been a stressful time so easy. With everything that came up, she took it in stride and was so accommodating. She's kind-hearted, EXCELLENT with the pets, and truly cares. She goes above and beyond for the animals under her care. Upon our return, all of our fur babies were relaxed and the most content I've seen them after we've been away. You would be silly not to book her! I really can't say enough good things about her.”

“Susana was very professional and easy to work with. My senior dog did very well with her. Appreciated the photos and summary of visit. Would book again!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, including two dogs, a cat, a rabbit, and two birds, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and taking my dogs out for bathroom breaks, as well as cleaning and maintaining the living spaces of our cat, rabbit, and birds. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when caring for animals. Beyond caring for my own pets, I gained additional experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family friends throughout college. My flexible academic schedule allowed me to take on overnight and multi-day stays, where I was trusted to care for both pets and their homes while their owners were away. Through these opportunities, I became familiar with maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules, daily exercise and playtime, administering medications according to owner instructions, and following nighttime household security procedures. I also helped with additional household responsibilities, such as watering plants and keeping the home clean and organized. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, experience caring for a variety of pets, and commitment to being a responsible and dependable sitter. I understand that every pet has its own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to adapt my approach accordingly. Whether your pet is energetic and loves outdoor adventures or prefers a quieter day filled with companionship and affection, I'm happy to provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve! I work six-hour shifts, three to four days a week, leaving my mornings and evenings completely open. As someone who enjoys staying active, I make it a priority to go on walks twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would love to have your pets join me and am more than happy to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day based on their needs and energy levels! I'm also a very affectionate person who loves spending quality time with animals. Whether it's playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! Growing up with pets, I understand how much love, companionship, and joy they bring into a home. Since losing my childhood pets while I was away at college, I've missed the energy, affection, and special bond that comes with caring for animals. I would love the opportunity to bring that same love and dedication into caring for your pets! When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining the routines they are familiar with. I firmly believe in respecting each pet owner's rules, preferences, and instructions, whether that involves feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medication, or specific household guidelines. I understand that consistency is important to a pet's well-being, especially when their owner is away. Above all, I want to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pets so that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the experience. I am committed to treating your home with respect and your pets with the same patience, affection, and attentiveness I would give my own. My goal is for you to return home to happy, well cared for pets and feel confident knowing they were in loving hands!

“Hoa was absolutely wonderful with Keoni! She followed all of my instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and took such great care of him while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and my place was completely spotless. I really appreciated how thoughtful, responsible, and respectful she was throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely book with Hoa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Kirstin did another awesome job with our home, plants and animals while we were away. She reached out when needed for guidance, otherwise, just handled everything well. The house, plants and animals were all perfect upon our return. She's reliable and highly recommended!”

Carrie R.

“I was in a tough spot, needing to find someone fairly last minute to watch my boy Rylee over Thanksgiving and having never used Rover before, I was a bit hesitant. Rylee can be anxious with new people, particularly in our home, but Rachel quickly put us at ease. She let me know that after some initial barking, he settled in nicely. Photo and text updates made me feel great about my decision to have her stay at my home and take care of my baby. She really took the time to gain Rylee's trust, and he was soon enjoying belly rubs, walks, and play time. Very pleased with Rachel and my first Rover experience.”

Carrie B.

“Excellent pet sitter. It was my three year old Maltese first time with a new sitter. Erin is loving and took care of my fur baby just how I would. Bean was happy and well cared for. She sent me pics snd updates which was also great!! Highly recommend Erin.”

Theresa S.

“Barri was fantastic! I've already booked her for another stay with Annie. She sent me pictures on a regular basis, and she made me aware of any concerns she had relative to Annie's disposition. I highly recommend her. :-)”

Robin L.

“Dawn is the absolute best. She treats my puppy as if she is her own and I can tell she truly cares about her. She is over communicative and always keeps me in the loop. She has been respectful of my home, and goes above and beyond to be tidy. She is very experienced with animals and she is vigilant while my pet is in her care. She often will give me tips and advice based on her own observations, and it has been extremely helpful as a new puppy owner. On top of this, she’s a fantastic photographer and I really enjoy the pictures she takes of my pup! Thank you Dawn!! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: I cared for a clients cat for over 6 years, and helped with his transition through thyroid and kidney failure, experienced in medicating cats. I have my own menagerie of 4 cats (don’t worry, there are other humans in the home for when I’m away), and foster kittens as well. I enjoy playing with cats and understand some cats also don’t like to play and can accommodate that as well. If you need expert cat care, I’m your gal! Dogs also considered- I walked a 100+ lb dog daily for 4 years (neighbors) and also provided overnight care for a 4 lb teacup chihuahua. I work at a school for 9 months and fill the remains of my days with gig work including pet sitting and house cleaning. I look forward to making your pet a part of my schedule I have 4 indoor adult cats and am an expert at keeping them from escaping- I will keep a close eye to make sure your pet doesn’t get out of that’s unwanted

About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.

About: Hello! My name is Megan. I live with my 2 year old golden retriever, Matcha, and my fiance, Zack, in our spacious apartment in Irvine. We LOVE dogs, all sizes, all breeds, all personalities, and we’d love to meet and care for yours! I personally have 3 years of veterinary assistant experience, so I am no stranger to proper and safe dog handling, especially in times of emergencies. I currently work fully remote as an HR Specialist at a medical device company, so I will be home all day to watch your furry friend. We live on the second floor with a balcony, and our community has a lot of beautiful green belts and walking trails nearby (your pup will have LOTS of fun). We also have a dog park inside the community, too! Our friends and family consider us their designated dogsitter because we just love dogs so much! We are native to Orange County and are serving clients within OC. We are very much looking forward to hosting your pup(s)! Pet care is second nature to me. I feed my dog twice a day and relieve her at least 5 times a day (2 of which are 30 minute walks or park time). I also wipe my dog’s paws every time after she goes outside. Dog walking: I keep them close on a short leash to ensure their safety, and we will always walk on the sidewalk. Dog boarding: My priority is to make your dog feel at home, safe, loved, and happy. I love to give cuddles, but if your dog doesn’t like that, that’s fine too! Your dog will be allowed on my couch and bed. Mi casa es su casa!

“Absolutely amazing sitter. 15 out of 10 would recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time

“Saeedeh was great with our 10 year old Aussie/Border Collie. Truly put us at ease to know she was being loved and well cared for. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs the last 5 years through Orange County Shelter foster program. I have also been privileged to raise and train my own German Shepherd puppy as well as 2 cats. I work full time Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm, so I focus on weekend pet care. I offer dog walks and house sitting for dogs and cats from Friday evening (after 4:30) through Sunday. On weekends I'm fully available, so your pet gets plenty of attention, walks, and company. I'm a great fit for weekend getaways or short trips. I will make sure your pets get plenty of physical and mental stimulation and will treat your pets with the same love and respect I treat mine

About: Hi! I’m Jing — CPA and also a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a dog and a cat. I’ve had my dachshund for over three years, and I also cared for my cat for two years, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, personalities, and routines of both species. With dogs, I’m patient and attentive, especially with small breeds like dachshunds that need extra back support and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with walks, enrichment, feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on behavior. With cats, I understand how to read their body language, keep their environment calm, and follow their preferred pace — whether they want cuddles or space. I’m experienced with litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping shy cats feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m fully working remotely with flexible schedules. So I will give your pet enough attention and play time. Can’t wait to make some quality memories for your baby! I live in apartment with dog park nearby. Easy to go out for walk and have sunbath on the balcony as well. I am experienced with meal prep and necessary medical needs. Please just let me know!
