Pet Sitting Mission Viejo

About: I have many years of experience watching dogs for friends, neighbors and clients while they are out of town. I treat our furry guests as family. They are welcome to lounge around, snuggle up and play. I just said goodbye to my best friend of 15 years. It was devastating, but it brings me peace knowing he is happy over the rainbow bridge. I look forward to cuddles with your fur baby. I am a SAHM, so I am available to let your dog out for potty breaks multiple times a day and they will always be supervised when outside. I have a fenced in backyard and I have baby gates around the house to separate the dog from the children if needed. I have doggy steps to assist climbing up onto the couch if they want to chill there.

“It was our first time leaving our puppy, Tucker. Gayle did a fantastic job in updating us and taking good care of Tucker. She is very responsive highly dependable.”

“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Laura was great with our older Golden and was able to provide the extra care and meds he needed. We asked her to drop in and walk him as he was staying with my mother who was unable to do it. Laura was willing to help in any way she could during her 30 min drop in and was extremely helpful and flexible.”

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!

“Kathy did a drop-in with our pup and we could not be any happier! She was so sweet with him, and sent us plenty of pictures. We felt very comfortable with her and our pup loved her! We definitely recommend!”

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.

“Jasmine cared for my Zoey so well and is professional. The check in reports were so thorough, it brought me comfort while being away. I came home to a happy and stress free pup, which is telling! All care instructions were followed and it shows. We will be booking with Jasmine again.”

About: Hi I’m Ali :) owner and trainer of a Bernedoodle! Looking to bring my step count up while surrounding myself with one of Gods greatest creations, dogs! I’d love to potentially build a dog pack to walk if that becomes an opportunity, but in the meantime I’d love to care for yours individually.

About: I’ve always been a total cat person! Whether it’s a playful kitten or a seasoned nap champion, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of feline friends: energetic, shy, purr machines, and everything in between. I understand that each cat has different needs…whether that’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone who knows how to give the perfect chin scratch. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and low-stress environment. I keep their routine consistent, from feeding schedules and litter box care to making sure they have clean, cozy spots to relax. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so their space stays fresh and tidy (no stinky boxes or spilled kibble here!). I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. You’ll get updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well and probably living their best life. Cat sitting, for me, is more than just a job. It’s a chance to bond, provide comfort, and be a trustworthy stand-in while you’re away. I genuinely love being part of their day and making sure they’re not just safe, but happy, relaxed, and completely spoiled. I babysit or run errands occasionally during the week, but I’m just five minutes away. It’s easy for me to stop by as needed. I have plenty of time to give your cat attention and care when it matters most. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. I’m mindful of keeping doors and windows safe, removing any hazards, and ensuring they always have fresh water, a clean litter box, and their favorite cozy spots. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. Whether they’re playful or prefer quiet time, I tailor their care to make them feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve instead of squeezing walks into a busy day. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for a long adventure or prefers slow sniff walks and extra belly rubs, I'm happy to match their pace. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday potty break, an energetic walk, or a drop-in visit with playtime and belly rubs, I'm happy to fit your dog's routine into my day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines as consistent as possible, and make sure your dog gets plenty of attention during every visit. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering oral medications, and helping post-op dogs when needed. You'll also receive photo updates and a summary after each visit so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover originally from Brooklyn, New York, and now living in beautiful Southern California. I grew up with cats and have had them in my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—from affectionate and playful cats to those who are shy and need a little extra patience. I love dogs and other animals as well! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I spend time helping care for and socialize both cats and dogs. This experience has taught me how important it is to approach every animal individually and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be dependable when families need help caring for their pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m trustworthy, responsible, patient, and have no criminal background. I will care for your pets with the same kindness and attention I give my own. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, litter-box care, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I'm a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible. Im available in the day and evening times most days a week. I won't work past 8pm. My cats roam free throughout my home, no restrictions. Smokey and zipper eat dry cat food. Zipper and smokey are easy going cats. zipper enjoys play time.

About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up in a home with cats and dogs. This continued through out my adult life as well. Now, I have to be content to take care of my roommates two dogs when she travels, and other friends when they travel. I am reliable, trustworthy and love to love on my charges. I am available any time of the day, as I make my own schedule for work. I do food deliveries so have a very flexible schedule. I am able to provide first hand care for your fur baby. I take my responsibility seriously and will always be alert to their needs.

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: Hi! I’m an animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive to detail, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will happily provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am available for pet care both morning/afternoon and afternoon/evening on certain weekdays. Weekends I’m available after 4:30PM. I offer pet sitting, dog walking and pet visits. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want any further information on my availability. I will take great care of your pets! I love both dogs and cats dearly. Frequent Potty breaks, walks , feeding , playtime, medication and whatever is needed…etc!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. It started with rescuing baby birds that fell out of nests, to now driving deep into the desert to rescue abandoned dogs. It is an honour to be able to give animals the dignity they deserve. I have had almost 2 decades of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. I have pet-sat dozens of animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, etc. I am compassionate, a hard worker, and easy to communicate with. Let’s connect! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to your needs. I enjoy making animals apart of my daily routine! I have a cat that is strictly indoors with safety netting on the window. Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)

About: Hi Rover! My name is Katie, and I just recently graduated at UC Berkeley with a major in Molecular Environmental Biology (MEB) and a concentration in Animal Health and Behavior. I used to work at the Richmond Veterinary Hospital and now I work at Banfield Hospital. Please don’t hesitate to ask me questions about my job! From a young age, my dream has always been to become a veterinarian. Throughout my time at Berkeley, I’ve had the opportunity to deepen my understanding of animal behavior, health, and welfare, and I would love to put that knowledge to use by providing dedicated, compassionate care for your pets. I have interned as an Animal Care intern at Berkeley Humane Shelter, and have shadowed and worked at multiple different Animal Hospitals. I am very comfortable with both dogs and cats, and currently have a chihuahua terrier (Oakley) and an orange tabby cat (Waffle) at home :) Having spent the last four years immersed in Berkeley’s vibrant community, I am now home and want to give back in a way that aligns with my passion by ensuring that your furry companions receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply providing a comforting presence, I am committed to making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared for in your absence. I have experience working with a variety of animals and would love to tailor my services to meet the unique needs of your beloved pets. I have plenty of time and experience to dedicate to your pet. I understand how important it is that without their human, they still feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I will give them routine, affection, and attention, and am committed to treating your pets as if they were my own. This means being attentive to signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns, ensuring that your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. And I’ll send you lots of pictures while you’re gone! I can do drop-ins/walking on weekends including Friday anytime, and I have more availability in the afternoon and night times on weekdays. I will update my calender if needed! Please let me know where your pets can or can't go! The more detailed the better please! I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as they can be!!

About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!

“Daria was amazing! She watched my cat for the weekend and it was so nice knowing that she was handling everything. She was always right on time and sent me pictures daily. Would definitely use her again!”
