Carolina did an amazing job with my pup. She’s played with him as well as fed him. She also made sure that I was updated and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her and will definitely hire her again for Koda.

About: Hi! My name is Emily and I am a long time animal lover! History: Growing up my family had numerous pets ranging from cats and dogs to lizards and fish. I have been around many animals my whole life big and small. I have experience with bigger breeds like dobermans and boxers and smaller breeds as well like dachshunds and shih tzu’s. I have no preference big or small, each has their own unique personality that I love! Current friends: I currently have two cats and one bearded dragon. About two years ago there was the cutest cat in my backyard and I went to give her some food. When I did this I noticed how much she kept eating and soon realized she was pregnant. It broke my heart to see her out in the cold during the rainy season and knew I had to bring her in. Fast forward I helped her deliver and raise 7 kittens! I ended up keeping one boy named Patrick and found good homes for the rest! My bearded dragons name is Gucci and I have had her for around 5 years. The cats are so very fascinated with her and love when she comes out! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I go to school and work part time. Due to summer break my schedule has freed up greatly. I have a part time job where I mostly choose my own hours which allows me to be very flexible! I am very loving and patient when it comes to animals. I have lots of experience rescuing animals from the streets and with this I have learned to be extremely patient and caring. Not every animal is quick to warm up and I have learned to work with that! Most of the animals I have experience with are rescues from the streets and some tend to be a little spicier than others. Regardless I love and care for them all the same!

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 8 years now, from bottle feeding kittens to training puppies i have the patience to tend to all there needs. Having patience and love for animals is what it’s all about for me! i’m currently working a full time 11-7 and off every monday and saturday! i would be more than happy to check in on your pets making sure they have water, food, etc. and depending on my schedule taking them out on walks, playing, etc. Caring for pets in clients home is very easy, making sure nothing is left open, following directions of client, and being respectful of the house following any rule set by owner.

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

About: ~Trying to save money for my wedding~ What sets me apart is the level of personal attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and little details so your dog feels at home, not stressed. I’m also the go-to person in my family and friend group for pet sitting, because they know their dogs are always in caring, reliable hands with me. From elderly dogs to young and active dogs, I adapt to each pet’s energy level and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex with great walking areas, and I know many owners can’t always get home during the day for walks — I’m happy to take that off your plate. I’m available for drop-ins and quick daytime walks, making sure your dog gets exercise, bathroom breaks, and some extra love when you can’t be there. I understand how busy life can get, and I’m here to help make things easier while keeping your pet happy and cared for. In my home, your pet will be in a calm, comfortable environment with lots of supervision since I work from home. I have a small, low-energy senior dog who mostly relaxes on the couch during the day. He can be kept separate in another room if needed, depending on your dog’s comfort level and personality. I also have a small patio space and take dogs on regular walks around the neighborhood or apartment complex for exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. I always prioritize safety, gentle introductions, and making sure each dog feels secure and at ease.

About: I love taking care of dogs and cats, they’re my passion! Taking dogs and cats on long walks and playing with them never feels like work to me. I enjoy spending time with them and playing. I love all types of dogs and cats, and whatever size. Dogs are so fun and lovable with lots of energy. Cats can be the same but many are more calm and laid back. I adore making new friends with them and continuing to see them. When I get home I always love saying hello to my fur baby and spending time with her. My dog is one of my greatest joys of life. Time always goes by so fast whenever I’m with a cat or dog, it’s truly the highlight of my day! I’m currently able to look after fur babies on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays! I am looking forward to meeting your fur baby and making their day. I will follow any instructions thag are given to me regarding your fur baby. Safety is always important when in my care. I will be on the lookout for your pet and our surroundings when we are out on walks.

I very pleased with Elizabeth’s kindness and attentiveness! I am beyond neurotic when it comes to my fur babies lol and I have incredibly high expectation of their care and safety - They are my children. I found Elizabeth’s profile and although it’s always nerve wracking to entrust someone with your “kids” you just met, I had a good feeling about her in our messages. we arranged a meet and greet prior to our first Christmas Day evening visit and she was just wonderful. She listened closely to their routine at our meet and greet, and was very sweet and personable. She sent many photos during their Christmas Day visit which is always appreciated; She coaxed our pup who is a picky eater to eat more of his dinner which was a win and our very shy young cat even came out to say hi to her which never happens! I had notated in their care notes to stay in well lit areas on the walk with our pup due to coyotes and I could tell from the photos and map in rover she did exactly that- It means the world that she paid attention and customized their visit with our requests. I can tell She has a kind heart for animals and I am grateful we found her. We came home that night to two happy, well fed and content babies- already planning their next visit with her in January. Thank you Elizabeth!

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds for several years, including dogs, cats, and small animals.

Andrew was wonderful. He kept us informed and updated on our 2 kitties every visit. He paid attention to details and did everything we asked him to do, and beyond. Our scaredy cat was even okay with his visits. If we were to need a cat sitter again Andrew would be by first and most favored choice. Our house, cats, and peace of mind were safe and at ease because of Andrew...I highly recommend his services.

Mable is the cat whisperer! I am so please with Mable and am happy to have found a trustworthy person who can check in on my very shy sensitive senior cat when I’m away. My cat actually came out to say hi to her and even ate in front of her (which is extremely rare). Mable provided a detailed report and many photos of my cat when I was away which was sooo sweet and unexpected. I highly recommend Mable and I will definitely be booking with her again.
