House Sitting Newport Beach

About: I love all to get all the details, any special scratches, snuggles, cuddles, rubs, hugs or nicknames Fido or Fifi prefers Please Let me Know. I want to provide the same comfort a beloved family member might. Obviously, no one can replace their real Mom or Dad, but I like to try! 4 Paws Up! I have experience administering medications, if necessary. Hopefully it's just walks, fun. snuggles, and maybe a treat or two. 😄 I have a flexible schedule at the moment. I look forward to helping your pets at the appropriate time to keep them healthy and happy. I'll read and reread any notes or instructions left for me, so I can care and keep you fur baby safe and sound. I'm great at keeping an eye on the house, locking up and hanging out with your pets for a good night's sleep. I don't drink and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

About: I have three rescued pets at home: an 8-year-old (reactive) lab mix, a super friendly 8-year-old cat, and a shy 4-year-old cat. This gives me a pretty good idea of how to handle different pet personalities! My pup needs some extra care and attention, which has taught me how to manage reactive behaviors and create safe spaces by reinforcing routines. I also know how to help shy pets feel comfortable and secure. What makes me stand out is my ability to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s using positive reinforcement for training or just providing a cozy, loving environment. I’m all about making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed while you’re away! I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I have plenty of availability throughout the day for drop-ins or walks; just let me know what you need. When it comes to caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and keeping a calm environment. I stick to their routines (like feeding and walking schedules) and use their favorite toys to help them feel comfortable. Safety is super important, so I’m dedicated to creating a secure space for your pets. I really believe in getting to know each pet and understanding their unique needs and behaviors, which helps me anticipate any situations that might come up. Building trust is essential, so I take the time to make sure they feel relaxed and at ease with me. Overall, my goal is to provide loving and attentive care that keeps your pets happy while you’re away!

“Katya is wonderful. She was so attentive to my pups. One of my dogs has possible kidney disease and needs to go out to pee often. Katya was so patient and attentive in taking care of him. She left my house in great shape - and she kept me filled in with photos and texts all the time. Superb!”

“Vi is awesome! She is very sweet with our very old kitty and our two pups. We were on a trip when our kitty got sick and Vi managed the situation perfectly. She treated him with loving care until we returned home (he’s okay). She is thorough and pays attention to detail. The best part about her is that our pets love her.”

“Otis had a great time with Melissa! She was punctual, friendly, and had excellent communication both before and during her stay. She even sent photo updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Otis was instantly comfortable with her - always a great sign as a pet parent. Since this was my first time using Rover, we did a video call beforehand, and I really appreciated how thorough she was in asking about Otis’s needs, behavior, favorite toys, and what to watch for while he’s recovering from an eye injury to ensure he was doing well.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much She genuinely care about animals. She took the time to learn our dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made it easy to relax knowing our dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious our dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When we returned, everything was just as we left it, and our dog was calm, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone we trust completely with our pet. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter—and we will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a long time dog owner. Having grown up with dogs, I'm happy to take care of yours as needed. Having graduated from USC two years ago, I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can work remotely. Throughout the day I often take walks around the peninsula/seashore to get a break from work. I work remotely so I often find myself walking outside to get fresh air as needed. Let me know how I can fit into your schedule! My family has owned a couple different dogs in my lifetime! Happy to help out as needed / provide specific care. I am no stranger to working with dogs who require a certain routine / diet.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I currently own and have raised my Border Collie, Luna, since she was 6 weeks old. She’s now 5 years old, fully off-leash trained, highly socialized, and responsive—something that takes a high level of consistency, awareness, and understanding of dog behavior. Because Border Collies are one of the most intelligent and demanding breeds, that experience has shaped how I work with all dogs. I focus on structure, exercise, and calm, confident handling so dogs feel secure and balanced. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from high-performance working breeds to older dogs that need a slower pace. I’m also comfortable reinforcing training, managing behavior, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs. My goal is to provide more than just supervision—I offer intentional, high-quality care so your dog stays happy, exercised, and mentally engaged My schedule is very flexible because I work as an artist, author, and entrepreneur, which allows me to structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for. This means your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, walks, and engagement throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-ins, including weekends. I create a calm, structured, and attentive environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m highly aware of behavior, energy levels, and surroundings—especially on walks or in new environments. With my background raising and training a high-energy, intelligent breed, I’m confident managing different personalities and ensuring each dog gets the right balance of activity, boundaries, and rest. I follow your dog’s routine closely and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.

“Suzanne was extremely caring and gentle with my sensitive doodle Romeo. She brushed him as he sat next to her and he loved it. It looked like he had been to the salon when I got home! Thank you, Suzanne!”

“Garrett took great care of my dogs while I was on a day trip with my family. He was available at short notice and communicated during the day and sent lots of pics of the dogs out in walks and relaxing. My elderly dog wally is on heart medication and he ensured he received the meds with dinner along with feeding my other dogs.”

I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved.

My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

“Jared was so so amazing to my puppy Kai! He went out of his way to tire him out and give him love before leaving. Amazing care! Will definitely book again!”

About: I've shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and currently have a senior Husky named Aurora, so I've experienced everything from raising high-energy working dogs to caring for an older dog with changing needs. Those experiences have taught me that no two animals are alike. One of the things I love most about caring for pets is getting to know their individual personalities. Some dogs want to spend every minute playing fetch, while others are happiest taking a slow walk and taking in the world around them. Some cats will curl up beside you immediately, while others prefer to earn your trust on their own terms. I believe great pet care starts with understanding and respecting each animal for who they are rather than expecting them all to be the same. When I'm caring for your pet, my goal isn't just to make sure they're fed and exercised—it's to make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I pay attention to their routines, quirks, preferences, and body language so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. Aurora has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to a pet's unique needs, especially as they get older. Whether I'm caring for an energetic puppy, a large-breed dog, a senior pet, or a cat that needs a little extra patience, I approach every animal with the same respect, attentiveness, and affection I would want for my own. I also offer overnight house sitting and understand that caring for a home is part of caring for a pet. I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash bins, and keeping an eye on things while you're away so you can travel with greater peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your pets, learning their personalities, and providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight visits, and I make it a priority to be responsive, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. For house sitting, I spend quality time with pets and do my best to maintain their normal routine and environment. I understand that consistency is important, and I strive to provide attentive care and regular updates so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they're away. One of the biggest things I've learned from growing up with German Shepherds and caring for my senior Husky, Aurora, is that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and way of communicating. Some pets are immediately social and affectionate, while others take time to build trust. Some thrive on activity and adventure, while others prefer a calm routine and familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable rather than treating every animal the same way. I pay attention to their body language, habits, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free. Whether I'm walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, caring for your cat, or house sitting while you're away, my goal is to provide a calm, dependable presence and maintain the routine your pet knows and trusts. For walks, I prioritize safety, use secure leashing practices, stay aware of my surroundings, and adjust the pace and activity level to fit each dog's age, energy level, and comfort. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on things while you're away. I believe great pet care is built on patience, consistency, communication, and earning an animal's trust. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet.
