House Sitting in Rancho Santa Margarita

“Donna and Mike were the answer to our prayers for our senior Chihuahua Capri. They were both loving and kind while watching her and sent updates each day, sometimes multiple times a day! Our Capri has health challenges and requires medicine throughout the day as well as help with feeding and mobility since she has a hard time seeing with cataracts. They were wonderful from drop-off to pick-up and gave Capri lots of reassurance and cuddle time. We would highly recommend using them as sitters for your fur babies. We will definitely book them again!”

“Penelope was wonderful as always and our cat Rico thoroughly enjoyed her stay with him! Penelope stayed in contact with us, sending photos and letting us know he was happy and in good hands! Thank you once again Penelope for making our out of town anniversary celebration possible!”

“Erika is a great house/cat sitter! We can trust her to handle everything that comes up day to day, keeping the household running smoothly. The kitties adore her—they are very spoiled and happy when we return. We are completely happy!”

“Shahla is THE BEST! She watched our dogs for the long Thanksgiving holiday and became their new best friend! She sent us photo and video updates throughout the day, everyday. She always reassured us that they were happy and safe. This was our first time using Rover and I feel so blessed to have found Shahla. Please do not hesitate to have her watch your house and pets while you are away. She will not disappoint! Thank you, Shahla! xoxo, Hank and JJ”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 50 years and consider them little fur people and treat them as such. A true animal lover! I have three pets of my own along with fish and have a very precise routine. Animals need structure they crave it. That is the key. We have our routine we get up we go outside we get our breakfast we walk in the P.m. we have dinner, Loves all day long.

“Abbie was a happy pup while we were away. Tyrie was great to have around the house and a comfort knowing our girl was in good hands. We’ll definitely have her over again.”

“Rebecca took such great care of my two huskies. She took them for walks and kept them company the whole day. She also took great care of my place, and kept me updated on how things were going with lots of pictures! When I came back home, the girls were so calm and happy. I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough! Thank you!’”

“We just had Megan do a house/dog sit for us and she is fabulous. House was as we left it and our dog took to her pretty quick. She sent pictures & updates daily which helped me relax. This was the first time we have had a dog/house sitter, and if Megan is able & willing, we will be calling her again. Definitely recommend. Thank you Megan. 😊”

About: I was born in the UK and have had dogs my whole life—growing up on a big country property, we always had furry companions! My childhood was spent with a Corgi and later an Irish Setter. Since moving here in my 30's, we’ve had many wonderful rescue dogs, including a particularly mischievous Beagle! We’re dedicated dog parents (note: my husband (background checked too) is also available when needed) who love training our pups but also spoiling them with love. Senior dogs hold a special place in our hearts (our current pup is a senior), but we also adore the energy and antics of younger dogs. Having recently used ROVER for our own dogs, we completely understand the hesitation of leaving your pets with someone new. But rest assured—we’ll treat your dogs like family, with plenty of love, cuddles, walks, and affection. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! We specialize in the small dog variety!! We work from home every day, with our dogs always nearby as we go about our day. We rarely go out in the evenings, and our pups sleep in our room at night. We truly love spending time at home with our furry companions! We have a fenced back patio and a doggy door, making it easy for pups to come and go. We love going on walks and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We want your dog to feel completely comfortable—whether that means using their own bedding or a crate if you prefer. We also understand that routines are important and are happy to follow your dog's schedule!

“Jadyn was so great. Communicated very well and was engaging with Luna. The peace of mind knowing Luna was cared for so lovingly meant a lot. Thank you Jadyn!!”

“David was absolutely amazing for us! He was able to accommodate us last minute for our wedding, which meant so much during such a busy and special time. From the moment he arrived, he bonded so quickly with all three of our dogs — it was clear they felt comfortable and happy with him right away. He kept us updated throughout the night and sent the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. Huge thumbs up! He was truly awesome, and we are so grateful for him! 🐾💛”

“Abby and Austin are absolutely wonderful! They spent the day at our home and then at the dog park with Penny, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. They kept her happy, entertained, and comfortable all day long. It was such a relief knowing Penny was in such loving, capable hands while we were away. They sent updates throughout the day so we knew she was doing great, and we came home to a very content pup. Penny adores them, and it’s clear how much they love and understand dogs. We feel so lucky to have found them and will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Great communication ahead of arrival and great with our dogs so we can break away and get some dinner for a date night. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Hoai plays calming music for her and makes suggestions to help. Thanks Hoai!”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors pets since I was 18 and have been so blessed by the experience. It has taught me that each animal is different and needs select level of care and attention. I will curate your pets experience based on how they're temperament is and I will take the best care as if they were my own fur baby. I work monday- friday 8:30-5:30 and will care for your pets between evening and morning. Sometimes my boss if flexible enough where I could run to your house and let them out midday on my lunch break. I will walk at night or early morning depending on the day. I will take extra care in your home. I do rent so I am unable to care for your pets in my own space but I would be more than happy to help you out in their most comfortable environment. I'm a preschool teacher so I am out most of the day until 5:30.

About: I have baby pictures of me with our family golden. When I was a teenager, I was in 4-H and showed dogs at the county and state level. When I was a young adult, I showed AKC Rally Obedience and agility. I have taught puppy kindergarten classes and Rally obedience classes through local dog clubs when we lived in NC. I know you might be hesitant to let a “stranger” watch your dog, and I totally get that. I’ll take care of your dog like he/she is mine because that’s what I would expect from you. I am an educator and my husband has a flexible schedule. We have plenty of time to take care of your dog while you are away or on a daycare basis. When you board/day care with us, your dog and our dog will have the run of our townhome. We don’t have a yard, but a nice size patio that is enclosed with a 6 foot concrete and glass wall. I take our dog on 3-4 walks a day through our complex. There’s also some nice hills and connecting complexes for longer walks. Our dog seems quite content with this set up, and he’s pretty spoiled.

“Thank you so very much Martina for taking such great care of Mickey! I could tell he felt comfortable around you by all the great pictures you sent! Martina is so very kind , prompt, professional and caring!! She took time to get to know us and what to do in our home before we left .. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Mickey was in excellent hands! We came back to a clean house, garbage was dumped and she even took her sheets off and washed them and the towels she used! Thank you again for everything!! Will definitely be booking you again !!🥰🐶🐾🦴”

“Laura kept the Boyz happy and entertained…just what we wanted. We were only gone for one day and night and she sent pictures of the Boyz cuddling with her and the all important feeding time! Thanks for being a great temp Mom to my Boyz!”
