Cat Sitting Portola Hills

“Maggie was fantastic! We did a meet & greet and knew my cats would be in good hands with her right away! She was attentive and reliable throughout the whole sitting process and sent daily updates and photos for after every visit 😊 Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a sitter in the area!”

“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I grew up with dogs and have had the privilege of caring for a Rottweiler and two Lab mixes, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have extensive hands-on experience with cats, including my own 11-year-old cat who is very shy, extremely finicky, requires medicated food, and has undergone surgery. Caring for her has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the individual needs and routines of each pet. When I first meet a cat, I let them set the pace and never force interaction. I’m calm and patient, giving shy pets the space they need while building trust through gentle attention, play, and treats. I bring that same attentive approach to dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m also a licensed Realtor, so I’m accustomed to being trusted inside clients’ homes, handling keys, securing properties, and hosting open houses while pets are present. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekends. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays, making me someone you can depend on for reliable, loving care when you’re out of town or away for the weekend. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. For dogs, I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll provide meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special dietary needs. I’m patient with every pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! At one point my family had 4 dogs, a bird, a tortoise, and a frog. Now we’re down to two dogs and two cats in the family and I hold them near and dear. I will love your animal like my own:) I’m currently working part time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from the early morning to early afternoon and Monday - Friday 3:30pm-6:30pm. I can provide bathrooms breaks and walks for your pets and I’m open to house sitting as well! I cannot take any pets into my own home but I will care for your pets in yours with any extra love and attention they may need.

About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.

“It was a my first time using rover and Randi set the bar very high. She was communicative, detail-oriented, compassionate, and sent so many pictures. She clearly knew what she was doing, and quickly gained the trust of my skittish cat.”

About: My spouse Cathy and I have 2 cats, who will be celebrating their 15th birthday with us this summer! I have plenty of dog experience too- I grew up with at least one dog in the house at all times, and with 17 years as a nanny I also cared for their cats and dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule as a local small business owner, and both Cathy and I love any extra pet time we can get! I am local small business owner, and have a flexible schedule. I am up early most days (4am) so early feedings would t be a problem! I always greet the pets first, and proceed according to order of priority instructions from pet owners. (Walk, give treats, feed, check water, clean litter, etc)

“Nancy was wonderful in every way. She offered to stop by before our trip to meet us and our cat and was very thorough. She asked questions that I hadn’t even thought about and I could immediately tell our cat was going to be in good hands. Nancy sent us cute photos and updates daily and I was always able to reach her and I couldn’t be happier that we found her! We were able to really enjoy our trip because of the peace of mind that Nancy gave us and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Dawn took great care of my young, playful cat while I was on vacation. Loved seeing her updates and my kitty baby was in great care and took well to her. The experience gave me peace of mind and I will definitely request her again when I'm out of town!”

Jim C.

“Such an awesome communicator and very friendly! She really looks out for your pet and my dog adores her.”

Liz C.

“She is the most caring and sweet person. In addition, the four dogs loved her and felt an immediate bond. Please use Saeedeh without reservation. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch my pups again. Love the videos too!”

About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

About: Hi! I’m a loving and experienced cat sitter who truly understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet ❤️ Cats have always been a big part of my life, and I currently have two of my own — one adopted from a shelter and one rescued from the street. Over the years, I’ve learned how different every cat can be, from playful and social to shy, cautious, or independent. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their regular feeding schedule, refresh water, clean the litter box, provide playtime and affection, and respect their space when they prefer quiet time. I’m gentle, patient, attentive, and reliable. I’ll also send you photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is comfortable and in caring hands. I’ll treat your cat with the same love and attention I give my own. ❤️ I currently work from home online, so I have plenty of time to care for your cats, play with them, give them attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I live in a townhouse with a large balcony. I have two very friendly cats who can keep your cat company, and I also have a separate spare room available if your cat prefers a quiet, private space.

“Laura was very responsive and responsible with our cats (and kind). I came back home from a 5 day trip to find both cats in good spirits - having been well taken care of. We will definitely be asking Laura to look after out kitties again in future.”

About: Outdoor enthusiast that thrives off of being active each and every day. Weekly Jogger, Hiker, Longboarder and drummer. Located in Irvine, right next to Irvine Great Park. 2 years, off-booked dog walker in NJ and former Wag! Walker. I spent 2 months fundraising at Ocean County Animal Shelter in my senior year of high school, which started my affection towards assisting our loveable best friends. We raised money to help out my alma mater's high school band program, and connected multiple animals with affectionate families. Availability is always open for discussion, normally between the morning hours, to afternoon/dinnertime. I've been comfortably trained in dog-walking/dog-sitting/house sitting/overnights and drop in visiting. I'm ready to be working for Rover part-time and I couldn't be more excited to meet furry faces in familiar places. I currently work from home, so I have full access in being around your loved one 🤙 My workflow starts around 9:30AM, I'm usually up by 7AM the latest, so we can start the day with breakfast together and a sweet morning walk! I have an open yard backyard, a walking path down to Fairview Park, and an adventurous leash-trained cat at home 😺 I can provide comfort if your loved one needs to be inside a crate at home.

“My cats were well taken care of by Mya. As they are my babies, I would only have someone take care of them who would make sure to follow the feed/ water directions thoroughly, give them love and attention, as well as clean the litter thoroughly every visit. I plan on using her for house sitting through Rover in March with my shepherd included in the bargain.”

“Helen went above and beyond taking care of my cat Mochi, from bringing some of my packages from the front door in, washing the cat fountain, cleaning the litter, and playing with him of course! So happy and thankful for her!”

“Samantha was very nice and accommodating for me and my uber shy cat. I even had to extend my stay overseas and she took on a few extra days for me. This might not always be possible, but I'm glad it was in this case. Thanks Samantha!”
