House Sitting In Northwest Santa Ana, CA

“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”

About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any pets of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give your pets! I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your dog deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet dog. I will do my very best to adhere to your dogs schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.

“Nate was an amazing dog sitter for our girls! He communicated throughout and sent lots of photos. They seemed really content when we came back. We will for sure ask Nate to watch our pups again in the future.”

About: Many of my friends have corgis, so I've spent plenty of time caring for these adorable, energetic little dogs and I've absolutely fallen in love with the breed! Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, neighborhood walks, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to tailor care to their personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time during the week, but I work from home on Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. I understand how important it is to know your pet is getting attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away. Most recently, I cared for a friend's dog and home for an entire month while they were away. During that time, I maintained the dog's normal routine, took them on daily walks, brought them to the dog park and the beach, and made sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.

“Jordan was awesome with Olly. She came on short notice! Will use her again.”

About: extremely observant and organized. I like to keep everything on track from medications to potty breaks. I’ve had experience over 4 years taking care of animals of family members making sure they are well fed, exercise met to their standard, and loved. Im currently working night shifts which means I have pretty much all day to stay with your pups I am able to stay on top of things and have everything scheduled for your pet. What is most important for me is keeping their routine and keeping YOUR home intact and secured. I will respect your home and boundaries you might have for me.

About: I've taken care of three cats since I was 10 and one dog for a short time. Been responsible for vet visits, bathing and feedings. I currently work till 4pm M-F so I'm looking forward to spending my afternoons interacting with your pets! Weekdays after 4pm and anytime on Saturday's and Sundays! I will follow any feeding, bathing, walking, etc. schedule provided by and in clients home. I can also help with crate or any additional trainings needed.

“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”

“Chrstine was fabulous! She was very responsible, timely, my pets loved her, and she sent frequent updates and photos. I would highly recommend for all your pet sitting needs! I have a very needy dog and cat, as well as a rabbit and snake. She was great with them all!”

“Dahlia was prompt and communicative. She provided plenty of updates on the well being of our dogs while she was watching them. Dahlia kept our Dogs active while she was staying at our house. Dahlia left our house clean.”

“We are from out of town (Sacramento) and had Chelsea watch our 2 dogs in our hotel while we went to the Disney parks last year. We had never left them with a sitter before so we’re a bit nervous. She sent us updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which put our minds at ease. Our girls seemed to have so much fun and really liked her that when we decided to come to the Disney parks again this year, we didn’t want to hire any other sitter but Chelsea. We don’t leave our girls with just anybody and It’s so nice to have a sitter we can trust so we could enjoy our family vacation at places we can’t take them and not have to worry. We could just enjoy ourselves and know that our girls are in good hands. We highly recommend Chelsea if you’re ever in the Anaheim area visiting or if you live in the area and need a sitter for your fur babies.”

“Laura always does the most incredible job taking care of our cats. She keeps us updated, looks after them and the house, and truly loves them. We know we can always trust her!”

Zoe & Patrick F.

“Katerina was amazing. She kept the house clean, and our dogs were always entertained. She walked them for 45 minutes twice a day and sent us photos of Lory and Rosie every day. Definitely my go-to sitter!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover. The corgi you see in my photo is my beloved baby of nearly 14 years, Namie. She went to woof planet this year, and I’m not ready for a new dog anytime soon. Recently, a friend asked if I could pet-sit, and I realized how therapeutic it felt for me. It also made me happy knowing they trusted me with their fur babies, especially since I have years of experience caring for my own. Before Namie came into my life, I was also a dog walker, but later transitioned into office work. Truthfully, I’ve always felt deeply connected to animals since I was a kid. I will treat your fur baby with the same level of care and attention, because I truly understand how much they mean to you. They are family, and they deserve the best. I’m currently a psychology student and am usually at school in the mornings to early afternoons, Monday through Thursday (depending on the quarter). I am fully available during the weekends. My priority has always been to return home as soon as possible to care for my dog; making sure she could go out, feel safe, and stay relaxed. I will give your fur baby that same level of care, attention, and love. When caring for your pet in your home, I understand that every fur baby needs time to feel comfortable with someone new. I always approach slowly and calmly, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. I may use treats or their favorite toy to help build trust, but I also respect their space and wait for them to approach me when they’re ready. Once they feel comfortable, we can play, go for a walk around the neighborhood based on your preference, or simply relax together. I understand that every dog is different, some are more active, while others prefer cuddling and quiet time. In my dog’s later years, she preferred staying home, so I’m also very comfortable providing calm companionship, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or engaging in gentle play like hide and seek. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs and cats my whole life! They bring me so much joy, and life is so much better with our fluffy friends. Growing up, I’ve been blessed with Shih Tzu’s, a Maltese, a labradoodle, a golden doodle, Siamese cats, a tuxedo cat, and a ragdoll. Besides my own pets, I have lots of experience pet sitting Dalmatians, German Shepherds, and indoor/outdoor cats. I love to spend time with them and will ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I also have lots of experience administering medicine. I promise to love your fur baby and treat them as I would my own. ❤️ I will talk to them, sing to them, and of course, spoil them! I’m a full-time musician and my week days are usually very flexible. I have shows during evenings and weekends, but I can always make time to check in on your pets for potty and feeding times. With my own dogs and cats, I know how important attention and quality time are for their health and happiness. I will follow your instructions on your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding times, treats, medications, and play!

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, puppy energy, and senior dog patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of attention and affection I give every pet. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and structure. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives timely and attentive care. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly bookings, I make sure I’m fully available and present for every pet I care for. I also plan my week in advance to accommodate pet sitting requests, making sure I have enough time and flexibility to give each animal proper attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into my routine rather than feeling like a task. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it while prioritizing the pet’s well-being and routine. In my care, pets receive plenty of attention, gentle interaction, playtime, and monitoring to ensure they are happy, safe, and stress free at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and communicate updates so pet parents feel confident and reassured.

“Thank you so much for taking good care of my little pooch dear Haley!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I can remembers. We grew up with a Chihuahua and German Shepherd, and now I have a Husky. I love taking her for long walks and hikes on the weekends! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.

“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”

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.
