Pet Sitting Newport Beach

“I had a wonderful experience with Marne as my pet sitter. She was communicative and reliable. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned. I would love to book her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including both dogs and cats, and spent much of my childhood fostering animals and volunteering at local shelters. Being around so many different animals from a young age has given me a lot of hands-on experience with pet care and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or providing extra care and attention, I’m happy to make sure your pet feels at home while you’re away! Weekends work best for me, and I’m also available on weekdays after 11 AM. I plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need. I’m happy to be flexible and work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for everyone! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, and I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Having grown up with dogs and cats, fostered animals, and volunteered at local shelters, I understand how important it is to be patient, responsible, and gentle with every animal. I want every pet and owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care!

“Vi is without a doubt the best pet sitter we have ever had. She provided the most detailed updates and photos daily. She took the time to take our cat to the vet at our request after he experienced some relapsing symptoms of a prior injury. Cannot recommend her more. We felt like our cat was so loved and cared for under her watch.”

About: My family has had dogs as long as I can remember. I’ve had experience with large breeds like cane corsos along with elderly dogs that need more time and assistance. I’m mostly available in the mornings or evenings for walks and weekends for boardings. I don’t mind transporting your dog to take them to a park or the beach. I’m used to watching people’s animals at their homes so I follow the directions you’ll give me exactly. I do have an elderly cat at home for your pet to make friends with but I also have enough room to comfortably separate them.

“Mackenzie was awesome! She was kind enough to come meet my dog in advance. She was also very easy to communicate with and provided great, detailed updates. She was very thorough and helpful. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m new to the Newport Beach area and have a PhD with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ve always been an animal lover and will treat your babies like they’re my own! 🐶🥰 I’m currently not working outside the home. I have a super flexible schedule to accommodate your needs for your babies! I also have a Shih Tzu of my own that loves to go for walks. I follow all instructions you set forth for your dog/cat very carefully because I know how important that is. Animals need love and attention, and I am there to provide it!

About: I grew up in Anchorage Alaska where I made money on the side by caring for and exercising my neighbors' hunting dogs. I also took care of chickens, honeybees, and at times stickleback fish (although that was in more of a lab environment). Emily grew up in South Africa in a household with two dogs, a dozen or so semi-feral cats who meander in and out, and a large number of genuinely wild monkeys who help themselves to the kitchen when nobody is looking. She also rode horses all her life. We just (July 2025) added the newest member to our little fam. Shaka! He’s a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is the sweetest little nugget. He loves loves loves other dogs and all humans, especially the girls, who he knows go gaga over him and guarantee belly rubs. Emily is a PhD student working on her dissertation. I recently defended my PhD and now I run a small startup. We both almost always work from home. We are both also enormously active. Emily qualified for Kona in the Iron Man and she has planked for more than 10 minutes at a time (don't tell her I told you that). I am not a super-athlete, but like to get outdoors. We love exercising and will happily exercise with your pets if they are the types of pets that enjoy walks/runs/dog parks. But if not, our dog Shaka would love to have a buddy to hang out with! His favorite game is tug, so we play a lot of that in the back yard. We unfortunately are not currently living in a place that allows dogs other than Shaka. So any care we provide, other than outdoor adventures, will need to be at your home. We closely follow whatever instructions we are provided. As academics we are both extremely accustomed to closely following instructions in an academic or laboratory context. Animals are much easier than lab work. We give animals plenty of attention and, when appropriate, plenty of exercise. If we think there is something wrong we alert the owner immediately and, if necessary, take the animal to the owner's preferred vet. Most importantly, we know how reassuring it is to get nice photos / videos of a happy pup during their stay. So we like to make sure we send those smiles along.

“Ray is amazing--he is great with dogs and cares for them so much. My two are a handful, and he handled them with ease & now they are obsessed with him!”

“McKenna was excellent with our 1 year old Frenchie. She kept us updated through texts and pictures of our little guy. She helped identify some behaviors that we need to correct and she was so good with him and with offering us advice.”

About: Hi! I’m Lauren and I am an avid dog/animal lover and my favorite hobby is to go on long walks and to get active. I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money utilizing two of my favorite things. I’ve grown up taking care of my own fur baby’s as well as many neighbors and friends. From big dogs to small dogs I’m here for any of your pets needs. I love to go on daily walks and give your animal the attention they deserve. I am currently on a flexible remote schedule so any last minute plans I’m here to help out. It’s most comfortable for your pet if they stay in their normal schedule so let me know what that’s like so I can mirror it for you. The more directions you can give me on how to care for your animal the better I want your dog as well as you taken care of.

About: As a certified energy healer of people and pets (especially dogs and cats), I deeply connect with them and feel and understand their love and empathy. I truly believe that they are angels and therapists and I love to spend time with them. I look forward to receiving your trust to love and care for them. I have a flexible schedule and can work around the time that I am caring for my family and pets etc. during my available hours. It depends on which service is requested while always strictly adhering to Rover policies as well as the client’s needs. Will send regular updates and photos.

About: I grew up with a rescued Shih Tzu terrier mix and realized how much love someone could have for a pet. I promise to care for your dog as if it were my own. I have playful personality and that flows into how I interact with animals. I’m currently working full time remote so my schedule has flexibility to meet your needs. I live a very active lifestyle so your dog will have all the walks they deserve! I adapt to the environment I’m in so your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away under my careful watch. You can trust that they will be kept leashed and safely out of harms way at all times.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age and personality, but the seniors and medical-needs ones have truly changed my heart. I understand the patience and gentleness they need from giving medications to helping them feel safe and loved again. I’ve also worked with puppies, helping them build confidence and learn good habits early on. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior soul, I make sure each dog feels like they belong and are cared for as if they were my I’m own. I work from home most of the month so I am able to care for my dogs and a few special need dogs. I have cared for dogs with multiple health issues such as diabetes, heart issues, cancer, kidney issues and more. I can help give medications, insulin or any other special needs. I treat every pet like my own. At my home, they have a large yard to play and explore safely, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. My dogs love to cuddle, so there’s always lots of affection and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family.

About: Hello, my name is Cassie and I love dogs of every shape, size, and personality. I have experience working in a veterinary clinic as a technician as well as caring for rescue dogs. I currently have a boxer rescue and am very familiar with fearful temperaments who need a little extra patience. I am very caring and active and will give your dog as much love and play time as they want each day! I’m currently available full time with limited notice if you need your dog cared for last minute or planned ahead. Feel free to reach out to confirm availability. I live in Newport Beach near the peninsula and am very close to parks and the beach to take your pup. We will be sure to go on walks, potty breaks, and adventures around the area.

“Nicholas was very attentive to our cat and plants. My cat can be very shy and she was in love with him on day two. We would definitely recommend Nicholas as a pet sitter!”

About: Hi, my name is Selena, and I have been caring for animals, including dogs and cats, since I was 18 years old. Before I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I had my own pets growing up. I had a black cat named Blacky as a child and a terrier mix named Hope, who sadly passed away in 2023. Both of them were deeply loved, and they are the reason I have such a soft spot for animals. When pet sitting, I always follow the rules given to me and pay close attention to any indoor and outdoor allergies. My goal is to have fun with your pets while you take care of your busy day. I'm excited to meet your furry companions! I am a college student but fully online so I am flexible during the weekdays. I do have a permanent part-time job but as summer season arrives I will be working less hours during the summer.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family dogs and cats of all kinda since I was a young child. I am responsible, clean, and absolutely love animals. I would love to help you out in walking, playing, feeding, and taking great care of your animals! I work from home on Fridays so I am the perfect long weekend sitter! I am available for walks/check-ins on Mon-Thurs after 5pm. Your dog will be my best buddy while I am caring for them! They will get all the attention and activity they need. Play-time, cuddles, walks, anything they need!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could remember! From taking care of neighbors dogs while they were on vacation in the summertime when I was younger to now! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes my entire life. Chihuahua to Saint Bernard, I love them all :) I’m currently working full time, but WFH so I’m always looking forward to going on a walk middle of the day or just all in all getting out of my apartment for a bit! I can help out either before work, around lunchtime, or after most days. I never try to push the boundaries with what a dog might be comfortable with! I understand that I’m a stranger to them and can’t fault them if they are a bit wary at first! For dog walking if there are any places in the area you’d like for me to avoid, just let me know! Maybe parks aren’t their favorite, that’s okay we can walk in a neighborhood. Or maybe they are reactive at the beach, we can try the park, etc! Please just communicate with me any possible roadblocks and I’ll try my best to accommodate so they can have a good time as well.

About: Our pets are as unique as we are! Each one has its own personality. I understand how our human daily lives can leave us feeling like we are not giving our pet children the attention, time and love they should have. No need to feel guilty!! Let me fill in for you on those long days! Long walks, playing and affection are some of the things that really do help most animals from experiencing anxiety and loneliness ! I'm happy to help! I have had dogs my entire life, all kinds and all sizes- from a 120lb dog to an 8lb dog and 12 lb kitty. I Love them all !!! My schedule can be coordinated with yours to ease your mind. Trust is important, I realize these are people's babies and will treat them as they would! Routine is what most thrive on, no need for a lapse in that....Let me know how I can help!! - Time to take a walk to the Dog Beach!!=} I would prefer that you drop off and pick up, if possible though. Thank you My schedule is completely flexible. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, loving and kind. A routine seems to be what works best for pets, but extra time is always such a treat! I have a condo close to the beach with a lot of fresh air and places to enjoy! I can take your fur baby on long or short walks, play with them at home, at the park, at the beach. I'd take into consideration what you tell me makes them most comfortable. If they just like to get tummy rubs, then tummy rubs it is! =} I can not have 'Barkers' though, out of consideration for my neighbors. Thank you.
