Cat Sitting in Newport Coast

“Javier was amazing with Cooper! He followed directions perfectly and was incredibly patient. Cooper is a Golden Retriever and can be quite stubborn especially as he’s nearing 10 and struggles with stairs and even leaving the house sometimes but Javier handled him with so much care and understanding. He kept me updated, called when needed, and sent photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Cooper clearly loves Javier, and that says everything. We will absolutely be booking Javier again very soon. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness and nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day—and yours—brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!"

About: pets can sense energy high or low, some pets are more comfortable with interactions that feel more simple and less stressful, or perhaps prefer hyper or playful: I adjust to your pets’ need and safety I am currently switching careers since I just finished my bachelor’s degree and am applying for graduate school. As I search for my next adventure in career, taking care of pets is great to nurture the soul and lean into surrounding myself with caring for others in big and small moments as they become more available. I care for your pets and your home with respect, patience, and timely professional decorum. I want to be welcomed back again and I want you to always be welcomed home upon your return

“Rachel was so great with my cat! She’s reliable, detailed and kind. My cat needs medications and she was a pro administering them to him. Thank you so much Rachel, I highly recommend you!”

“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”

“Polina has taken excellent care of my cat, Christof, who has complex medical needs including requiring insulin injections. She is very detail oriented and provides wonderful updates complete with photos/videos every time! Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with many pets and regularly walk my own dogs. I have also had experience taking care of a dog with no bladder control, constant urinary tract infections, and the need to be manually expressed. I am very comfortable taking care of both big and small dogs. I not only have experience with dogs but have also housesitted for a household with five cats. I’m currently attending University of California, Irvine while also working in a research lab, so I’m used to balancing a structured schedule and staying organized. I’m also very active as a member of the triathlon team at UCI, which means I already spend a lot of time outdoors and love going on morning and evening walks or runs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and quality attention into my day feels very natural for me. While walking your dog, I will carry water and a small bowl and ensure your pet's comfort. For housesitting, I can easily take instructions and provide a safe environment for your pet.

“Isabel is Amazing! She took my cats outside and cared for them, they were very happy to have her there. It was comforting to know that she was there and to get pictures of the kitties while I was away!”

“Ryan did an amazing job with my dog Koda! I could tell Koda had a great time on his walk and felt comfortable with Ryan right away. He was super responsive and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Ryan clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. He quickly understood and followed Koda’s walking routine and handled his occasional reactivity around other dogs with confidence and ease. I’ll definitely be booking Ryan again.”

“Alyssa is wonderful. I have two small dogs, one of which has special medical needs and she is able to accomodate a demanding routine, as well as goes above and beyond to make herself available as needed and make sure the pups are taken care of in every way. She's an angel!”

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!

“Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!”

About: I have always had animals or dogs in my life since I was little. I have a senior chihuahua that I have been able to grow up with, he was a rescue and we have been best buds since! I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and adapting to their food regimen. My dog has a special one since he is so old. I have also administered oral medication to dogs before.

“Charlene was amazing! She followed all instructions I had told her to the letter! I have a Pitbull and American Bully so they can be a hand full but they loved her. She is very responsive, communicative and great with my dogs. I had a peace of mind leaving my dogs home while I was away for the first time. Definitely will be rebooking with Charlene moving forward!”

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain 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. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I work fully remote as a Mindset & Mental Health coach, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets—feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and well cared for. My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

“For our first day leaving Willis home alone for such a long time, we felt peace of mind that Julie would be coming by to check on him, feed him and play with him. It’s so nice to know that Julie is reliable, communicative and clearly great with our dog so that we can book her again in the future.”
