Astrid was absolutely amazing with our 2 boys! We had no one to turn to while we were away for our wedding and Astrid was able to provide such excellent service and keep them company! We are so so grateful for her and anyone who books with her can be confident that their pets are in great 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’ve had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. About a year ago, I got my Doberman, which motivated me to learn even more about dog behavior, training, exercise, and proper care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love spending time with dogs, playing with them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with feeding routines, basic obedience training, walks, playtime, and reading dog behavior/body language. My own dog is trained, and working with him has helped me become more patient, confident, and attentive with dogs in general. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their dog, and I will always treat your pet with patience, love, and care like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time to dedicate to dogs. I spend most of my time with my Doberman, so daily walks, playtime, training, feeding routines, and giving dogs attention are already part of my everyday life. I’m available as early as 6am to 7pm if needed I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and exercise, and I also have a friendly Doberman who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. If needed, I also have a crate available so your dog can have their own safe and quiet space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and environment while providing attentive care, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals, and lots of attention and affection.

About: I love animals and I have my own fur baby, a gentle giant cane corso! I follow instructions given from pawrent and like to see other pets personalities. I’m currently working part time and full time student. Sundays are my only free days and being around pets would be a great way to not worry about school or work! I listen and follow instructions! As a fur parent, I know how important it is to have structure and routine in a pets life. Can’t wait to meet them!

About: I'm ready for hot girl walks for the time and I hope your pup is too. I've grown up and raised dogs of my own, but being in California for school meant leaving him (Butter) behind temporarily. My heart is empty and open to welcome and love yours. I am a second year PA student so most of my schedule is made by me, which will allow me to be flexible and have ample time to feed, walk, and play with your best friend! I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a safe, cozy, and fun environment. I follow routines, keep things pet-safe, and make sure each pet gets the attention and playtime they need. You’ll also get updates along the way and as many additional ones you'd like!

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.

Sofia is such a sweetheart and wonderful with my senior pup! She took the time to come meet Skippy a couple days prior to our booking and he immediately went right up to her which he’s usually reluctant to do. I’m very picky about who I have watch Skippy and I feel so safe and at ease when Sofia is taking care of him. I highly recommend Sofia!

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.

Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)

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 :)

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.
