Marcelle was incredible! My dog is typically very anxious when it comes to meeting new people but she warmed up to her instantly! Marcelle sent picture updates throughout the walk which put me at ease. Your dog will be in great hands with Marcelle!

Hanae, was great. She was willing to accommodate although it was short notice. My pup was happy when she got back from the walk. I will surely request her again.

My partner and I hired Alexandra to care for our two cats while we were on vacation. She cared for them for five days and constantly reassured us by sending pictures and updates of our babies during those days. She even went above and beyond by vacuuming and mopping our place on her last day! I think that speaks volumes about her personality and her work ethic.

I can’t recommend Franz enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! Franz has a natural way with animals—kind, patient, and incredibly responsible. She has cared for my pets before, and I’ve always been impressed with her attention to detail and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s ensuring pets get plenty of exercise, keeping them safe, or just showering them with affection, Franz goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry friend, look no further than Franz! Your pet will be in the best hands.

About: Three years ago, I rescued my dog from the roof of a neighboring building when she was just six months old. Since then, I have been her primary caregiver, nurturing her from a young, timid pup into a happy and well-adjusted companion. Through this journey, I’ve gained valuable experience in training, socialization, and understanding canine behavior. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies or providing comfort to senior dogs, I am patient, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe and loved under my care. As a UCI student with a flexible schedule, I prioritize dog walking because I genuinely love dogs. I enjoy spending time with them, ensuring they get exercise, care, and companionship. I provide loving and attentive care for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I have personally adopted and raised two rescue dogs—one I saved from a rooftop and another I rescued as a one-month-old puppy from the road. Now both are ready two years old. My experience includes feeding, walking, training, and creating a safe, loving environment. Whether it’s exercise, companionship, or special care, I treat every pet as my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and loved.

I have happily handed over my pups to Pilar for several months now when I don't have the time or ability to take them out myself and they are all always so happy to see each other. My dogs are always so tuckered out and content when Pilar is finished with them I know they would be gushing about how great she is if they could write this instead of me.

Samantha is an incredible, trustworthy, intelligent person. She is very responsible and I would trust her with anything. I love how she is always passionate about anything she likes to do. I met her in college and the way she does her work, handles her life, and they way she shows her passions is truly commendable. She is very caring to the people she is with and will help them out in their time of need. As her friend, I can confidently say that I can rely on her for anything.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by many pets, I know how to handle those energetic little ones and provide gentle care for older pets who might need a bit more attention. Additionally, I’m super passionate about keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Your fur babies will get all the love and attention they deserve. I am a full time student at University, while working a part time job, however my evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Friday and the weekend are available! I offer in-home pet sitting, this would include maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible to reduce stress, providing regular feeding, walking, and playtime according to your instructions. Additionally, administering any medications or special care your pet might need and ensuring your home stays tidy and secure, watering plants or collecting mail if needed.
