House Sitting Mission Viejo

“Laura was a great substitute for Winston's parents. This time we used her as a house-sitter for our two week vacation. She sent us lots of pictures of our boy, which we appreciated. Winston is an 8 year old golden retriever that we rescued last year. He had a difficult life and we were concerned that he would think he was being given up again. So, having Laura come into his house was the best thing for him. We are glad that Laura is able to fill in for us!”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I have always had a love for animals since I came out of the womb! Throughout my life, friends and family have always asked me to watch their pets because they know how much I love to spend time with animals. I’m currently an unemployed, full time pre-med student. I am in my second year at Irvine Valley College. I spend most of my time relaxing at home or studying— which means I have plenty of time to play with or cuddle your pet! I am very dedicated to the health and safety of any animal. It is a top priority to me to ensure that every pet is fed, walked, and played with. Detailed or non detailed, if there is a pet care guide then I will read it top to bottom and stick to it!

“The peace of mind Ericka gave us was priceless during this horrible fire season—-the kitties were safe and happy under her care. She is The One for our family!!!”

“Katelyn was great with Niko! She took wonderful care of him and our home, and we could tell he had such a good time with her. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Katelyn!”

About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, and I also regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a calm, welcoming home with a yard and plenty of space for dogs to relax and feel at home. I also have a great nearby park where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and care schedule as closely as possible. For added convenience, pickup may also be available with advance notice, depending on location and scheduling. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am the sole caregiver for pets booked through my Rover account. No one else assists with pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s needs and usual schedule, so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a calm, comfortable home with a yard and a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I supervise pets closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. There’s also a great park nearby for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.

About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I’m available for care 7 day a week including holidays. Your animals will be taken on walks and tons of sniffy moments. Your animals will be receiving a lot of love and attention throughout the day with videos, gps trackers and pics to show for it. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my two Goldendoodles. She was so sweet, attentive, and communicative throughout my entire trip, sending me tons of pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. She even happened to be watching the boys on their birthday and went out of her way to make it special by treating them to pup cups and sending me the sweetest video of her singing happy birthday to them! She was also incredibly accommodating and stayed late on the last night until I got home from my flight. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“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.”

“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.”
