Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Memorial Park, Santa Ana, CA

“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.

“Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.

“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats for the last couple of years through friends and neighbors whether they were under 1 year or senior pets. I’ve taken dogs on walks and to dog parks (if approved), as well as house sat. I currently work a hybrid a schedule - I’m fully remote Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays and I’m in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m fully available on the weekends as well! After the 24th of this month, I will have complete and open availability! I can crate your dog or cats if needed, always ensuring they are in a safe space by making sure there is no food or anything they can accidentally swallow in the vacinity, ensuring they stick to a routine if applicable, and making sure they are always fed and played with!

About: From zoomies to snoozies, I’ve got every pup covered! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, I treat every dog like my own, because to me, they are family. With experience across all breeds and ages, I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I work full-time in a hybrid format, with Fridays off after 1 p.m. On weekends, I’m available for dog sitting, walks, or any other pet care needs you may have. My apartment complex features a dog park and a walking path around the grounds, offering plenty of space for outdoor fun. I understand the importance of regular walks in a dog’s routine, so I make sure my own fur baby gets several each day. We also have a sunny patio where dogs can relax and soak up the rays. Felix, my pup, is great with other dogs—he’s patient, playful, and almost fatherly with puppies, while with older dogs, he knows to embrace the laid-back pace of retirement life.

“This was the first time I have worked with April (or anyone I didn't know before), and she is terrific! Her response is timely and I love her updates and wonderful photos. It's very clear that my kitties were given lots of attention and care. I recommend April with confidence, based on my very positive experience of having her drop in during the past three weeks.”

“Our dog and cat love Lilah! She's very caring with our babies, and has followed our wishes for their care including some training time! Her Rover cards are an excellent way to feel included in their day and she does an excellent job at them! We will continue to work with Lilah and strongly recommend”

“Sydney is the best! I'm such a worrying dog-mom, and she could not have been more perfect. She was highly communicative with me and was very easy to get in touch with. I also love that she is a vet tech. That put my mind at ease the whole time we were away. If she noticed small changes in my dog's behavior she would take precautions and monitored him like a pro. Even my neighbor commented on how wonderful she was and how our dog just fell in love with her. I will use Sydney every time we travel in the future!”

“Very good experience with Holli. She was very responsive, punctual and attentive. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart from others is that I personally will adapt to your pups needs. Whenever and however. I know how to administer certain medications and follow any directions on how to feed your pup and when to feed them. As well as focusing on your pups trust and doing anything and everything possible to help them be comfortable with me. I work full time but I do only work mornings. I am more than welcome to walk your pup in the evening sunsets. Enjoy fresh air. I definitely will care for your pup in any way possible. Being at their home I want them to be as comfortable as they can be. I wouldn’t want to stress them out in any way at all.

“Brianna was very good about consistently checking in and caring for our dog, Cupcake, each day. She responded quickly to me and sent pictures of Cupcake too. This was very helpful while we were on a trip so we could relax knowing she was taken care of. Thank you Brianna!”
