House Sitting in Research Park, Irvine

“Michelle was great on communication, so sweet, sent photos, kept in touch, listened to instructions, has a great space for dogs to run. I couldn’t be happier with how her sitting my dog went. I highly recommend Michelle.”

“Jennie (and Bennie) are the best - see my last review! Jennie worked miracles with our shyest cat. I never thought I’d see him happily come out and meet strangers, and Jennie has patiently socialized him, to the point he happily greets her! Thank you, as always!”

“We recently used Camden for the first time and are very happy with the experience! It can be stressful to leave two large dogs and all of our belongings with someone new, especially for a few days overnight. However, Camden provided reassurance. She communicated regularly, sending updates and photos of our dogs having fun and relaxing. From the start, it was evident that Camden has a true love for animals and provided outstanding care. We look forward to using Camden's services again and are highly recommended to any dog owner and/or for housesitting!”

“We used Rover for the first time yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with Bre. She did a meet and greet the day prior and asked lots questions and took notes. She was punctual and professional. We would definitely use Bre again.”

“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”

“As always Emily did a wonderful job watching our Scottie, house and plants while we were out of town. We very much look forward to having her back again!”

“Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.”

“Mary did a fantastic job watching Tory, Remy, Milo, and Baxter. She gave updates with photos multiple times a day and kept me in the loop. I highly recommend!!”

About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!

“Amyra was awesome and I would highly recommend her! She was very responsive from the beginning. As soon as she met our dogs we could tell she is a ‘dog person’. She sent several pictures and provided updates daily. We are moving out of state, but if we were staying Amyra would be our go to dog sitter!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sydnie! I’m a passionate animal care professional with over 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician, working hands-on with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, and exotic species. My background includes medical care, behavioral handling, and emergency support for pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve spent years around equines and large animals, and I absolutely love building trust with animals through gentle, confident, and respectful care. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing medication, or a quirky exotic pet, I bring professional-level knowledge and a calm, loving presence to every visit. I’m reliable, intuitive, and treat every pet as if they’re my own. I’d be honored to care for your furry (or scaly!) family member. I work evenings from 4 p.m. to 1–2 a.m., so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, or sitting between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. If you’re located near Newport Beach, I may also be available during my lunch break for quick visits or walks. My life truly revolves around pet care, and I take great pride in being someone both animals and pet parents can rely on. Whether it’s early mornings, mid-day check-ins, or even late-night medication or feedings, I’m committed to being flexible, responsive, and dependable for your pet’s unique needs. When I enter your home, my goal is to create a calm, respectful, and safe environment for your pet. I’m highly mindful of body language, behavior cues, and energy, especially during first-time visits. I adjust my approach based on the pet’s comfort level — whether that means moving slowly, speaking gently, or matching their energy to build trust. I understand that every pet has their own boundaries and needs, and I give them space when needed, while still being warm, reassuring, and attentive. As a vet tech with over 8 years of experience, I’m confident in handling pets of all temperaments, and I know how to read subtle signs of stress or discomfort. I’m familiar with basic commands and can reinforce any training you’re working on. I always follow your instructions to the letter when it comes to your pet’s routine, feeding, and home care, because I understand how important consistency and structure are to their well-being.

“It was Zions second day with Tedra and his second day after from home. Tedra made him feel safe with her and he had a great first experience away from home!”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!

“Skyler was quick to respond and accept our inquiry. He was great with Sandor and we could tell he genuinely cared about his well being. He was on time and provided updates with pictures throughout the day. Thank you Skyler!”

“My two large dogs seemed to love their time with Doug! We came home to a clean and orderly home after being away for a few days and appreciated the peace of mind.”

About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!

“Bryce was so great with my two dogs when he dog sat for me for a few days. He followed all the instructions, gave consistent updates, and was overall truly excellent. I very highly recommend him!”

Dana L.

“Grace is fantastic. A true dog lover at heart and treats the pups like her own. I would highly recommend as we will use her again!”

Janelle A.

“I was absolutely thrilled with Mirae's care of my 16 year old dog, Matilda, this past weekend. From the moment she arrived, Mirae was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept me constantly updated with thoughtful texts and frequent, adorable photos of Matilda, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Matilda looked happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in every picture. Mirae was also exceptionally punctual and tidy - my home was spotless when I returned, and everything was in perfect order. I would trust Mirae with Matilda again in a heartbeat! Truly top-tier care!”

About: Hi, I’m Sonya – your dog’s next favorite walking buddy (and so much more)! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I know that every pet has their own personality – and I treat each one like family. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, slow sniff sessions, or just a cuddle and potty break, I’m here to meet their unique needs with love and reliability. In addition to dog walking, I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or medication, and home sitting for those times you’re away and want to make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. You can expect regular updates, cute photos, and total peace of mind while your furry friend is in my care. If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and completely devoted to your pet’s happiness and well-being—I’d love to help. Let’s make every day a tail-wagging adventure! 🐶💕 Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine! I build my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure I have plenty of time and flexibility to give each one the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I plan my days to prioritize consistency and reliability for my clients and their pets. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy – it never feels like “work,” just something I genuinely love being part of every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their pets with the same respect and love I would give my own. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, walk preferences, or favorite toys—and always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety. I take time to bond with them, keep their environment tidy, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible to reduce stress while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
