House Sitting in New Horizons, Santa Ana, CA

About: Hi!! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages. I am new to rover but have been working with animals for several years- this includes walks, dog training and belly rubs! Giving medications, doing their physical therapy exercises for seniors I can help with it all. Scroll through my gallery to meet my references!! I work a flexible schedule (I’m a Medical Device Engineer), so just shoot me a message and we can work something out. I am super outdoorsy so I go on a lot of walks and hikes..I know all the local trails. I also have a bunch of fun puzzles and other brain games for puppies that can’t leave home. Shoot me a message we can work out the best care plan for your pets. I carry my treat pouch on all visit, will have treats and poop bags. I also rock climb so my upper body strength is right up there to keep your excited puppies safe and while letting them explore. I love sniffaris . I’m also an expert hiding medications just right to get your babies to take them willingly! I can read body language and will always maintain communication with you!

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for them like they’re my own. I have experience walking, feeding, and watching dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a lot of availability right now. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give each pet plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space, keep things clean, and give them plenty of attention and care.

“We are so happy we found Annie! From the very thorough meet and greet to booking her for a house sit, it has all been wonderful. She’s very professional, reliable, and my dog loves her.”

About: I have a childhood dog that lives with my parents and two young kitties that live with me. I have experience with both and know how different personalities can be! I work Monday through Friday in a hybrid position but make my own schedule therefore can work around your pets needs. I am an active person that enjoys walks and playing with cats and dogs. I have a gated driveway that is used occasionally but remains closed if no car is going in or out. It is big enough for your pet to play in and there is a backyard where they can go potty. I will always be with them when outside and they can be in their crate inside or I don't mind giving them extra cuddles on the couch.

“Ana is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter!!! The best ever! I can't say enough nice things about her. She Sent pictures of him and communicated with me on a daily basis, while on a 12 day cruise! She gave him a bath, medication, and hand fed him when he was reluctant To eat. She left my house sparkling - totally clean & my Yorkie looking super healthy and cute! She was an angel - took care of my little dog like he was her own. I know he was sad to see her leave - but we will Always call her in the future! Thank you Ana!!!🌺❤️ You are truly an amazing person!!”

“Sabrina is seriously the best, she stayed at my house (she usually does dog boarding) and she left it spotless. She sent me pictures of Nala throughout the day and night and gave me consistent updates. Nala loved hanging out with her and Sabrina took great care of her!”

About: Hi! I just moved from Boston to Costa Mesa. I have a hybrid role in finance so I have flexibility to hang out with your pet. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds for the last few years. I currently don’t have any pets of my own :( I am primarily on rover for fun to spend time with animals and I am so excited! Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. - experience with walking, washing, training dogs - dog sat for neighbors and friends since I was young - began officially dog sitting in my hometown doing house sitting with dogs, taking care of elderly dogs, dog walking - love to teach dogs new tricks! Available for boarding/drop ins on weekends. Available for walks/drop ins most days depending on the time (just let me know what works!). Typically available for anything else after 2 PM most weekdays. I am near a handful of parks and dog parks where I typically walk many dogs. My neighborhood has a lot of dogs that walk in the area.

“Thank you for taking care of our puppy during a stressful week for him! And thank you for showing so much patience and kindness when he threw up and chewed.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I've been a dog owner most of my life.I Enjoy spending time with dogs more than people, 🤣 and would be so excited to meet yours! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. Let's shedule a time... I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog and a fluffy cat to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed...

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 16 years, from playful puppies to older cats who just want some quiet company. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for them. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because animals are such a big part of my life. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pets, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give them my full attention and care, making sure they feel loved and never rushed! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I keep a calm and cozy environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m careful on walks, always keep leashes secure, and pay close attention to their comfort and mood. Building trust with pets (and their people!) means everything to me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at ease.

About: I’ve spent the last 8 years being the best dog mom to my chocolate Lab, Iris—she’s my family and best friend. From training her as a puppy to keeping up with her endless energy, I’ve learned what it takes to care for dogs with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, belly rubs, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got them covered. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a part of my daily life! I’ve been caring for my dog Iris for the past 8 years, so fitting in walks, feedings, and playtime comes naturally to me. As a student, I only have classes two days a week, which leaves me plenty of time to care for other pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I can easily work around my schedule to make sure they’re happy and well cared for—just like I do for my own dog every day!" I live alone in a ground-floor apartment with an enclosed backyard, so if your pup stays with me, they’ll have a safe and fun environment to play, explore, and relax. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, cozy naps, or just hanging out, I make sure every dog feels right at home. If I’m pet sitting at your home, I treat both your pet and space with the utmost care and respect. I ensure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also keeping your home tidy and secure. No matter where I’m watching your pup, their safety and happiness are always my top priority!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds for over 15 years. From walking, feeding, and bathing to helping with senior care and even the more energetic pups, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, because to me, pets are family 🥹♥️🐾 I am self-employed and primarily work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available to take dogs out for walks and care routines 2–3 times daily as needed. I can also board one or two pets overnight (for pets from the same household). My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate requests unless I already have prior commitments. I treat every fur baby like family while keeping their routine consistent. My fenced yard is safe and supervised, and I use a natural spray to keep bugs away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or cuddle time, your pet will always feel loved. And if they aren’t allowed on beds at home, the same rules apply here too, your house rules are my house rules. 🐾💛

About: I have lived with animals my whole life, I’ve got baby pictures to present time with my pets. I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats! It’s a farmhouse but we love it :) One of those dogs is my baby named Bella, she’s a super energetic and cuddly black Yorkie mix who’s 6 years old now. Growing up I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian but didn’t realize how expensive it would be so I never fully went to be a doctor but I do still have experience working in animal hospitals. I know the basic wants and needs for your pets and will be more than happy to give them that🤗 I work 10-5 Monday through Friday, off on the weekends so if you ever need me in those gaps I have, give me a holler! I live in a very spacious home but unfortunately am not allowed to have any more pets than the ones we have now, but we do always have at least one person at home to watch the babies and always have our back door gates closed as well as our front door.
