About: Patience, compassion, and understanding each pet’s individual needs are my top priorities. I have two loveable doxies that love attention and other puppies. As a lifelong animal lover, I believe no job is too big or too small when it comes to making sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m both outdoorsy and like to be cozy, so whether your pet loves exploring outside, or simply enjoying the comforts of home, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always come first! 🐾 My dachshund Frankie has had previous back issues so I am comfortable and acknowledge pets that need special attention and care as needed, just let me know how I can help! I am going back to school for teaching, so I currently have the open availability and flexibility to care, walk and spend time with your pet throughout the week! I look forward to assisting on the weekends, so you can enjoy your plans, worry free and positive your pet is taken care of! 🫡 I have a 2 dachshunds that loves to befriend other doggos. Whether your pet needs a buddy or likes to ride solo, we can work it out so that your doggie is comfortable in a relaxed environment.

About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had at least two canine companions by my side—which is partially due to having a dog-loving mother who works in the pet grooming industry—so naturally, I have made friends with cats and dogs from all walks of life (and many other animals, too!). My fondness toward all living creatures, however, is something innate. I have plenty of experience in pet care, be it from caring for the pets of my own (including insects!), to working in animal shelters, and petsitting for friends, family, and professionally for clients. Whether it is time to eat, play, walk, bathe, or administer medication—I am here to assist with any tasks (including light housekeeping during house sitting) that can provide you with peace of mind while your pet & I are busy becoming new best friends 🐾🦴💗 My current schedule is pretty consistent, flexible & seldom changes, but if necessary I am always willing to do my best to accommodate your needs. When I come to your home, I believe it is important to prioritize the normal routine of your pet for their comfort & wellbeing, first and foremost. However, I love to incorporate morning/evening walks & extra play time if this works for your pet! I love to know all of the little details about your pet so I can become more of a friend to them rather than a stranger & the rules which allow me take care of them adequately. I am more than willing to keep in touch with you through messages & photos throughout the duration of my time caring for your fluffy babie(s).

About: I am in the San Clemente area, ready to drive over (or walk over if you’re in Cypress Cove area) and keep your pets company! I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, mice, turtles, chinchillas! I am very patient and gentle. I am known to be very skilled in gaining animals’ trust, regardless of species. I am an optometry student who loves all types of animals, and looking to make some extra money. I am happy to adjust my schedule to watch your furry friends! I have had pets all my life and know how critical it is to have them within your sight at all times. I will make sure they’re always secured and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have always loved them. I’ve volunteered in a vet, take care of my friends and family’s dogs and just love pets. With my job I travel too much to have a pet of my own YET so this is my favorite way to get to spend extra time with pets. My job is a work from home job with a lot of flexibility. I go into running stores around OC occasionally but make my own schedule. I don’t have a yard but I have a great park nearby and love going on walks. My mom gives her dogs 6-8 walks a day so I grew up believing our pets are family members and treat them incredibly well.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, from tiny Yorkies to giant Great Danes! I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and keep you updated along the way.” Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, which means plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I love having animals around and enjoy making them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the routine while they’re with me. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home itself, making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space while keeping owners updated with photos and messages along the way.

“Joseph had his first walk with Moxie and she came back happy as can be. He was on time and very friendly. Moxie can’t wait for her next walk.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and genuinely love spending time with pets of all kinds. Friends, family, neighbors, and the families I’ve worked for have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medications, provide companionship, and care for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with patience and compassion. As a professional household manager and nanny, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow routines and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm, attentive care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in great hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and secure, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands.

About: My name is Natasha and I live in beautiful San Clemente. I work part-time from home and am a mother to two school aged boys. I was born with a love for all animals and have three of my own (Gus-dog, Nora-cat, Remi-cat). I’ve been around dogs, cats and horses for most of my life. I love to be outside and take my dog Gus hiking all the time. I would love to take good care of your pup when you need it! I am currently working part-time from home so I’m available to board your dog most weekends and weekdays. I am home most of the day so I can give them as many walks as needed as well. I have a fully fenced in backyard and my boy Gus would love to keep your fur babies company while they are here with us. I also have a gate on my stairs so that the dogs play downstairs and my cats can have their own space upstairs. My dog Gus is crate trained, and I can also crate your dog if that’s what you prefer. Our neighborhood is extremely dog friendly, and we also have hiking trails attached to our neighborhood that I use all the time if your dog likes to get out and go on longer walks.

“Angela was available last minute same day to walk Binny. She was great with communication and got in a mile. Will use again! Thanks so much :)”

“Megan was so sweet and awesome to work with. She treated Coral just as well as I do and I will hire her again in a heartbeat.”

About: From walking dogs for a dollar in elementary to being a full time ranch hand — taking care of animals of all kinds comes naturally to me! I’m really fortunate to work a job that allows me to be home over half the day! Outside of an ideal work schedule — I also love a very active lifestyle that I bring my own pets (and I’d bring yours) along with! Pets are like family members in my apartment. Although the indoor space is not huge, there is no space off limits to my furry friends and they are always within reach!

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and my love for them started when I was just a kid. One of my earliest experiences was caring for my neighbor’s golden retriever, Emmett — a 110-pound “baby bear” who quickly became my best friend. After school, I would walk him, feed him, and keep him company until his owner returned late in the evening. That experience taught me that dogs are more than pets — they’re true companions, and I knew from then on that caring for them would always be a part of my life. Since then, I’ve had years of experience with my own dog, Kona, a smart and loving Jack Russell Terrier who I’ve cared for since I was 14. I’ve walked her, trained her, fed her, and made sure she always had everything she needed — from regular grooming to urgent care when she was stung by a bee. I’ve also helped care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and even a special needs dog who was blind, deaf, and diabetic. I’ve given insulin injections, handled diaper changes for senior pups, and learned that patience, attention, and compassion go a long way in making dogs feel safe and loved. What sets me apart as a sitter is the way I connect with dogs. I don’t just see them as animals — I see them as family members with unique personalities and feelings. I give every dog my full attention, treating them with the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s long walks (I love being outdoors and usually make sure dogs get at least 3 miles a day), playing fetch, or simply sitting together for comfort, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I even use calming dog music for pups who are shy, anxious, or overstimulated, creating a peaceful environment when they need it most. Above all, my philosophy is simple: your dog is my dog while they’re with me. I prioritize safety, clean water, exercise, and plenty of love. Dogs bring so much joy and healing to our lives, and I’m honored every time I get the chance to give that love back to them. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I have completely open availability. I’m a content creator who works online from my phone and computer, which means my schedule is flexible and I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs my full attention — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and loved. Because I create my own schedule, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique routine, from early morning walks to evening play sessions. My availability is wide open, so your pup’s needs will always come first. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, my approach is the same: I treat every dog like royalty and as part of the family. Their needs always come first. I make sure they have fresh, clean water at all times, balanced meals, and treats given in moderation. I love providing toys, chewies, and playtime to keep them entertained, as well as plenty of cuddles and affection so they always feel loved and secure. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level and body language, making sure they feel safe, acknowledged, and understood. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, keeping them company throughout the day, or taking them out for walks, I stay close by so they never feel alone. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and deeply cared for — just like they would with their own family.

About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and they are basically the center of my universe. My hobbies include walking my dogs, training my dogs, and taking them on adventures such as the dog park, dog beach, and for hikes in nature. I have fostered, owned, and cared for dozens of dogs and cats, from kittens and puppies, to senior citizens, and everything in between. I am experienced with high energy dogs, and commit to fulfilling the dogs needs that are in my care. I am currently training to become a dog trainer with Method K9, and am knowledgeable about dog psychology, body language and social cues. When your pup is in my care, I work hard to make sure that everyone is getting along with each other and never leave the dogs together alone without supervision. I work to ease any anxiety the pup may be feeling, as new environments can be scary, by properly exercising them and getting them into our household routine. My three dogs are very well trained and behaved, and often times, being in a "pack" with my balanced dogs can be very therapeutic for the incoming dog. What you can expect: a safe, structured home that you pup can settle into and relax during their stay. An environment where they can socialize with balanced dogs, improving their social skills and reducing their anxiety. Structured (walks) and unstructured (play) daily exercise based on the needs of your pup. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me! I work part time as a yoga/meditation teacher and drug and alcohol case manager. I am in and out of the house throughout the work week, and 5 hours is the maximum amount of time that I am gone at once (this is on Mondays and Wednesdays). T/Th/F the dogs get a car ride to drop my daughter off at high school, we stop at the dog park or go for a walk, then I am gone for a few hours midday. I work a minimum of 2-3 hours of exercise and fulfillment into the daily routine to keep everyone healthy and happy. I have a decent sized fully fenced back yard with a 6 foot high wall and a locked gate. The dogs stay inside while I am away, and have access to the backyard when I am home. When I am away, the dogs stay separated to ensure everyone's safety. If your dog is crate trained, I find this is the best place for him/her to go when no one is home. Dogs tend to feel less anxious in their crate. I will send updates throughout your pup's stay so you can see what they are up to. They may even be having more fun than you!

“Lígia is amazing. We have had her come and stay overnight with our dog and come and walk our dog on busy days. She is awesome! Cannot recommend her enough. Our dog, Callie loves her!”
