“We cannot give higher praise for Amyra and James. They put our minds at ease and were such amazing help! Our puppies loved them and we really appreciate everything they did. We trust them completely and are no longer worried about leaving our pups knowing they’d be in the best hands!”

“Sahba absolutely came to our rescue when a previously booked sitter canceled on us at the very last minute. Despite the short notice, he arrived promptly and immediately put our minds at ease. He watched our home for several nights and took wonderful care of our two cats and our high-strung little dog. Anyone with a nervous pup knows how important the right energy is, and Sahba handled her perfectly. We really appreciated his communication throughout the stay; he sent regular updates and photos, which allowed us to actually relax knowing everyone was in good hands. We highly recommend Sahba for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be calling him again!”

About: I’m Caroline, a 30-year-old dog lover with nearly two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I aim to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I adapt easily to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog has a simple routine or a more involved one—including exercise, feeding, medications, or other specialized care—I’m happy to follow all instructions exactly as provided. I’m comfortable with walks, exercise, brushing, feeding, cleaning up after pets, reinforcing basic training, and caring for dogs who need extra attention or structure. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your dog and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I currently have a flexible routine and will be starting a graduate program this fall in Counseling Psychology that meets three consecutive days per month. I expect to be able to comfortably balance my studies and pet care within my schedule. I provide care in client homes and follow all instructions carefully to maintain each pet’s normal routine. I pay close attention to feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and tidy during and after each visit.

“Kelsy was absolutely fantastic with Kovu- you can tell she really enjoyed spending time with him and took amazing care of him as well as provided regular updates. So thankful for Kelsy!”

“Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending us numerous photos and videos every day. She also spent a significant amount of time with our cat each day and even watered our plants for us! Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend”

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

“Portia had a lot on her hands with our lively little 8 month old puppy who was definitely not used to a) us not at home and b) us not at home! We were gone for 10 days and it was the first time for little Edie. Fortunately Portia was upbeat and humorous and playful and communicative and sent us great pictures of the highs and lows of puppy and her 11 year old playpal Ratso. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our two girls. Thanks so much Portia!!”

Katherine H.

About: I have years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I take the responsibility seriously. That means daily walks for dogs, meals served on time, and attentive care for animals with specific routines around feeding or walking. I clean up after pets consistently, both inside and out, and keep the home tidy throughout the stay so you come back to a space that feels well cared for. I also handle the practical things, bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the overall flow of the home. My goal is always for pets to feel settled and loved, and for the home to feel just as you left it. I currently work from home and see clients part time 2 days/week. It's very easy for me to prioritize pet sitting and blend taking care of an animal into my routine. I have years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I take the responsibility seriously.

“Cierra is a great sitter. She was great with Riley and watched over her and my house perfectly! She sent texts and updates to keep me in the loop (I have separation anxiety, lol). I have booked an additional two stays with her And will continue to do so as needed. Thank you Cierra!!”

“Sarah was fantastic with Benj, an active dog that wants to play and needs to be tuckered out in the evening, and left my apartment exactly as it was.”

Catherine W.

“This is the second time we’ve had Katherine dog/house sit for us and she just makes it so easy. She doesn’t miss a detail and takes caring for our dogs very seriously. I am always relaxed when I’m away because I know they are in very responsible and loving hands. Great communication. Great professionalism. Great care. 10/10 Always with Katherine. We are lucky to have her!”
