House Sitting in Portola Park, Santa Ana, CA

About: I started working with pets when I was 10. I had a dog walking business with my sister. We were responsible for walking the neighbor's dogs and pet sitting them while their owners were away. I grew up in a house with every kind of pet you could imagine- rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. As an adult I have continued to care for people's pets: both dog walking and pet sitting. I have cared for people's furry friends consistently and been a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter for two decades. I work part time as a nanny and I'm in school studying biology/ premed. I have weekends fully available for overnight stays and drop ins, as well as walks. During the week I am available all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have monday evening available as well. I am hoping to fit in dog walking and pet sitting into my routine and make it a part of my daily schedule. When I go to client's homes to watch their pets I make sure to be present and attentive to the animals. I provide excellent care and love to my clients' pets and treat them like I would my own pet.

“I am so pleased with Lizbeth! This is our first visit with her and everything was better than expected. She was wonderful taking care of pavel and asked questions to be sure he was well cared for. That means alot to me as he is a disabled dog. She sent pictures and updates and even got him to walk on their first visit!!! I will definitely recommend her AND use her again. Thank you Lizbeth!!”

About: My entire life I’ve been taking care of pets of all walks: young & old, big & small, with varying levels of health and temperament types. I understand the critical details involved with maintaning their unique dietary, social, fitness, and emotional needs. I’ve had the pleasure of obedience training 3 pups into adulthood, nurturing dogs whom have undergone surgery, medication administering, grooming prolific shedders, trust-building with those of traumatic upbringings, bathing the water-phobic, and other niche experience. Every animal is a person to me, and I cherish whatever it is they & their humans require in order to promise the easiest time possible for everyone. I currently work from home under an extremely flexible schedule as a copywriter, and therefore can quite literally be on-call for whenever and however you may require my services, whether short- or long-term in duration. As of now, I am living in a well-kept 1Br1Ba apartment with my boyfriend (another animal whisperer). There is a lenient pet policy at our facility, and overnight stays are possible. Nearby are plentiful neighborhoods and parks that I delight in walking daily. Seeing as I currently have no pets of my own, your loved one(s) will be the center of attention and receive all the focus. I offer treats of my own (my favorite is organic freeze-dried chicken liver bites) with your permission & can provide other items such as toys, feeding bowls, bedding, shampoos/conditioners, brushes, etc. upon request.

“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: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets.

I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Gabby. She took care of my husky and cat for two weeks. She updated me with pictures daily and I could see that both of my pets were happy and well taken care of. She’s an excellent communicator and genuinely cares about animals. She left the house spotless upon my return. I will definitely be booking her in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog or cat sitter. Thank you so much, Gabby.”

“My favorite pet sitters by far! 10 out of 10. My pets fell in love with these two instantly! I would absolutely recommend them, and I fully trust them with my fur babies. They sent photos of my dogs and kept my home spotless during overnight boarding. I was at ease during my vacation with Dalton and Mariela doing such a great job! Will definitely book them again!”

“Elizabeth did a great job watching my dog Wally for me He barked at her at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly. I can tell he enjoyed spending time with her.”

Krista K.

“Robert did an excellent job! He watched our three dogs in our apartment over the weekend. The puppy seemed a bit nervous at first, but clearly warmed up to him over the course of his stay. He communicated often and sent photos and videos of the pups as well. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

About: I like to think I connect more with animals than I do people most of the time :,) I just have a big heart and so much love for all types of animals! I’ve grown up in a busy household and we took in dogs for all of my childhood to teenage years. One thing I grew up loving was taking care of the pets. I was always the one to groom them, bathe them, feed them, and take them to the park when I could. Now that I’m older I have one dog of my own, his name is Cappy and he’s a mixed chihuahua who’s 4 years old. I’ve taught my dog many tricks as well not just sit and paw. I love teaching dogs patience it really feels like an achievement when training, the best part is giving them a treat. They are such a blessing and I’d love to be apart of as much furry pets as I can! Please feel free to reach out! I currently work a part time job that is very flexible! I work mostly evenings so mornings are very open and some nights as well! one thing I prioritize while dog sitting is safety and trust! I’d love a chance to get friendly with your pets and do as much as you need help with and more! I love going on walks and can help feed your pets as well as communicate very clearly with you every step of the day! I don’t do boarding unfortunately.

About: I have a 12 year old chihuahua. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old and she’s still with us. She’s now blind so there are adjustments we do to best suit her in our house. I take pride in my adaptability and desire to connect with each pet individually to meet their needs. Hi there, I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton. I work part time with the Boys and Girls club as a mentor Coach therefore my schedule is flexible. I really appreciate detailed information. I am always open to adjusting my approach to any routine that best fits your pets needs. It’s a case by case manor.

“Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!”
