“Nichole was amazing to work with! We used her last year when we came to town, and I was excited to be able to work with her again. My two pups love her! I had peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so well. One of the best things is how well Nicole communicates. I had to make some modifications throughout the week and she was so quick to reply and very flexible. I look forward to working with her again.”

“Devenee was so wonderful and she was able to win my cat over very quickly despite my cat being super shy to new people. The photos she sent of my cat are some of my favorites of her now. I'll be rebooking with her for future travels as long as she is available to watch my cat.”

About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine! Caring for your fur baby’s will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur baby’s needs!

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet frequently. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m reliable and detail oriented, and will make sure to follow care instructions precisely. I will keep your home safe and clean for your pets while you are away.

“Chase was a great help on short notice, just before we left for our vacation. He carefully followed the detailed instructions we left and sent photos after each visit. We really appreciated his help!”

About: I feel so lucky to have had dogs and cats all my life. Your furry, family members will receive the love and attention you would hope for from a dog walker/ cat sitter. I have a finger-print, clearance card, a perfect driving record, and I have been a realtor for over ten years so I understand your home is a place you need security and privacy. I do this for the absolute love of it, nothing makes me happier than animals. I’ve just moved to California from Arizona. As I set up my business I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do what I love, be with animals. Right now my availability is wide open and I will try to keep it that way. For now I’ll be doing both “drop ins” and walking, over time I will be available for overnights at either my home or your home.

About: I grew up with six dogs at once, including senior dogs and a special needs dog. This helped me learn how to adjust care for different ages, energy levels, and medical or mobility needs. I have experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I helped my dog give birth and helped raise the puppies from newborns to adults, which taught me how important patience, monitoring, and gentle care are. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home most days, so pet care fits really easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be flexible for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I can give pets consistent attention instead of rushing between places. I genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it’s something I love building into my schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are always supervised appropriately, comfortable, and safe in their environment. I carefully follow routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to keep pets stress-free and happy. I’m very aware of surroundings on walks, avoid unsafe situations with other animals or traffic, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“Yung is reliable and professional. She is quick to respond to messages which is very reassuring when it comes to our fur baby. I was able to book her to help us out last minute and she was very communicative about the details of her visits including lots of photos. She also has amazing independent judgment because I forgot to tell her not to leave toys out for our dog who likes to eat toys and she knew to put things back before she left. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve cared for my Pembroke Welsh Corgi since he was 10 weeks old, and he is now almost 5. I enrolled him in puppy classes, established a consistent daily routine, and have always stayed on top of his veterinary care, vaccinations, checkups, grooming, exercise, and enrichment. Raising him from puppyhood taught me how much patience, consistency, attention, and affection dogs need. I can reinforce certain tricks if requested, and administer oral medication. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. (Please note that dogs over 40 pounds must have good leash manners for me to safely care for them) I maintain a highly flexible schedule, so i’m readily available for midday walks and drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I can easily accommodate last-minute, same-day appointments. I plan my day around each dog’s usual feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routine. During boarding or house sitting, dogs may be left alone for up to three hours at a time, depending on their individual needs. Please let me know if your dog requires more frequent supervision before booking. I live with my boyfriend and our Pembroke Welsh Corgi in an apartment with a large patio. Guest dogs are welcome on our furniture and beds, and I do my best to make them feel like part of the family. Dogs are always supervised while using the patio. For boarding, I require a meet-and-greet with my Corgi so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed outside, monitor interactions, and maintain their established routines. When house sitting or completing drop-in visits, I will treat your home respectfully and make sure it is secured when I leave. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates.
