“Alison did great with our dog Lola! She took her on long walks, sent us pictures throughout the day, and we even came home to a clean house, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Alison to watch over your pets”
“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!”
“Great communication ahead of arrival and great with our dogs so we can break away and get some dinner for a date night. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Hoai plays calming music for her and makes suggestions to help. Thanks Hoai!”

I am trained in basic animal care and medicine, plus previous pet-sitting experience so I am well equiped for whatever needs your pet may have. I'm located in Orange County and able to drive. I have a very flexible schedule, full availability, and am always happy to make extra time to spend with your fur babies, I can't wait to meet them! My knowledge and experience in both pet-sitting and animal healthcare make me a trustworthy candidate to ensure your pet's safety and well-being.

“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!!”
“Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.”
About: I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for and trained all ages, including elderly dogs that requires daily medicine. We have 3 dogs ourselves, which keeps us busy with potty breaks, regular walks, and family time. We also have a blind dog who needs some additional care and support, but enjoys the same high quality life as her sisters. I am a high school teacher, from Manhattan Kansas, visiting my mom in the summer break. This is a good fit for my summer break. I am looking forward to a relaxing schedule (since teaching can have a strict schedule) and spending time with some furry friends. I will care for other peoples pets the same as I would my own, with care, love and compassion. I would get the inside scoop on the animals from the owner, to learn the ropes for the unique animal and setting, and then I would ensure the pet is socialized and cared for in a respectful and professional manner.
“We completely trust Kaitlyn to care for our special-needs Ragdoll. She is consistent and detailed about giving our cat his medications, and she gives him extra attention and love, which gives us peace of mind whenever we’re out of town. When we return home, it’s clear that both our cat and our home have been well cared for.”
“Tiffany was very responsive. Very friendly and comfortable with our 65lbs dog. Went on an hour walk morning and afternoon and seemed to genuinely enjoy our dog. She’s now on our short list of go-to dog sitters. Thank you Tiffany!”
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
“Katherine took amazing care of our two dogs at home! Her knowledge of veterinary medicine, dog meds, etc. is stellar and we were so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Her communication skills are also excellent. As a bonus, the dogs love her too.”
“We booked Caroline very last minute, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but they immediately put our minds at ease with incredible communication and genuine care for Roxie. They sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which meant so much to our family and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and well cared for. It was obvious from the updates that Roxie was getting lots of attention, love, and great care. We are beyond grateful for how thoughtful, communicative, and caring they were—especially on short notice. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way, we absolutely recommend Caroline We would gladly book with them again!”
About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs almost my entire life. I got my first dog when I was 12 and from there on out I have always had at least one. I have always pet sit for family and friends when needed and now I’m looking forward to expanding my services to others. I live in a home and have a fenced in yard. I am used to giving medications if needed and can also care for senior dogs (I have one myself!) I have 2 dogs as of now so your dog will always have someone to play with 😊 I work from home so I am home nearly all day unless I have an errand to run I work from home so I am always home! I also have a backyard where they can run around whenever they want. I usually leave the door cracked for easy in/out access and I have a fully fenced in yard I have a fenced in yard and do frequent potty breaks! If your dog is crate trained I can keep them on whatever schedule they are used to at home. Throughout the years I’ve had to administer my fair share of medication so if your dog needs any medication I would be more than happy to administer! If they come to my home, they will always have a friend to play with since I have 2 dogs myself 🙂
“Camille was amazing! She made friends with our dogs so quickly and spent a bunch of time getting to know them. She went above and beyond, sent photos, and gave updates. Would highly recommend her for any dog service!”
“We were so happy that Donna could come and dog sit/house sit for our little Lina while we were out of town. Donna immediately formed a tight bond with our dog and provided the best care! We will definitely use her service again! She is such a warm and kind person, very professional and Lina loves her! Thank you Mike and Donna!”
“David was absolutely amazing for us! He was able to accommodate us last minute for our wedding, which meant so much during such a busy and special time. From the moment he arrived, he bonded so quickly with all three of our dogs — it was clear they felt comfortable and happy with him right away. He kept us updated throughout the night and sent the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. Huge thumbs up! He was truly awesome, and we are so grateful for him! 🐾💛”

We have had Kaitlyn watch our very aloof Rhodesian Ridgeback and two cats twice now and she has been amazing with them. Our dog is slow to warm up and she handled her with such love and was able to make friends with her by the end of the stay. She was very capable with waking our 95lb dog as well. The cats all loved her too! One of our cats is very skittish and even she loved Kaitlyn. Our home was well cared for as well. She communicated any issues (our house is old lol and there’s always something) and gave us pet updates. I would highly recommend hiring Kaitlyn.
Caroline was very attentive to our puppy and helped ease our minds as new dog parents so we could step out and enjoy an evening to ourselves. She kept Aero busy with toy playtime and sent us constant updates which we appreciated. We came home to a happy relaxed puppy which is all we could hope for! Will definitely use Caroline’s sitting services again. Thank you!
David was truly awesome. I think our pets wish he was still there and we didn’t come back! He was very attentive and took such great care of them. He was also super communicative and sent pictures and an update every day. He was even flexible when our travel got messed up. I highly recommend him. He kept our pets and our house cared for and attended to. He is very thoughtful as well. Couldn’t ask for more.
Nicole was an amazing dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She gave us daily updates along with lots of photos and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She took such great care of our dog, Rex, and it was obvious he was happy and well loved the entire time. We would absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Chelsea was wonderful!! Had some last minute changes and she was super flexible. She sent tons of updates and was able to easily handle 3 dogs for the weekend. It is obvious she gave them lots of attention as they were worn out when we get back, would book her again!!
Robert took incredible care of our home and our 4 dogs, 2 cats, turtle, and gecko. The house looked just as we left it and he updated us with photos while we were gone. I felt so comfortable while away which says a lot. I would definitely use Robert again! Highly recommend!
Julia is very caring and took great care of Kali- feeding her, walking her, playing with her and sent us regular updates so we knew Kali was in good hands. Kali has special food needs and she followed them to the t and wherever I forgot any instructions, she followed up to close the loop.
Nikki was absolutely amazing with our dog Otto! From the meet and greet she came over and met him and learned his schedule to a tee! She took him on so many long walks and adventures, and went above and beyond to make sure he had a great time and get a ton of love while we were away! She even sewed one of his toys he had ripped up. You can tell she truly loves animals, and did the best job with our boy, who loves getting a lot of exercise! We felt like he was in the best hands and she kept us updated the entire time with so many pictures and videos, which was so very nice. Nikki is the absolute best!
Megan was wonderful. We had daily photos and updates. The kiddos only took one night to get comfy with her and seemed to settle in quickly. Having someone home with the dogs in our home was a really safe feeling for us. Couldn’t have been more happy with the great care Megan gave.
