House Sitting in San Joaquin Hills

“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with strangers, but Michelle took great care of my little Wiley while I was out of town! She’s clearly a dog lover, very responsible, was responsive to any questions I had & sent pics every day. I’d definitely hire her again!”

“My fiancé and I are so happy we found Bennie and Jennie to watch our 2 cats. We were impressed by their professionalism and their excellent communication. They gave us priceless peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. When we returned, our home was spotless and our kitties happy. We would love for them to sit again anytime.”

“Katie was WONDERFUL! she was able to accommodate my request on short notice and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and I felt great knowing my poodle was in her care. Thank you again Katie!”

“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!”

“Breanna did an amazing job with our dogs! They’re a a couple of oldies that can be very particular, but she took it on without a problem — we would def have her back again!”

“Yarira is a wonderful pet sitter and a good human (according to our pups and us)! She instantly bonded with our protective Australian shepherd and silly pug, and their love for her was obvious based on the many smiling photos she sent of our Aussie, Lily, as well as the pictures of Eddie sleeping and resting comfortably on or next to her. She even took the dogs to the dog beach while we were away! (*with our permission, of course...) A short video of the two pups showed lily planting kisses on her face while she tried to pose them for the "Live" picture -- a sure sign that Lily was happy as could be. She also took good care of our home while we were away, and we always felt comfortable knowing she was there with our dogs. We would absolutely have Yarira back to care for our furry kids anytime.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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’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!

“Tania house sat and looked after my 2 labradors and was fantastic! She kept us updated, quickly bonded with the dogs and they were clearly very happy with her. Tania looked after our home and was extremely conscientious and trustworthy. Very highly recommended professional!”

Richard O.

“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!”

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.

“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 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.

“Danna did an amazing job watching my pup while I was out of town for a week. She sent us plenty of updates & photos as requested so we felt at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. She left our place very tidy! We appreciate her so much & will be booking her again!”

“Marketta watched our 80lb Lab for the first time and we are impressed with her. She is very calm and handles pet routine really well. She had the lab at our house and she maintained the house well (no issues) and kept it clean We will use her again and recommend her highly !”

About: Hey there- I'm Adam. I've had the absolute pleasure of living with and taking care of pets for the last several years in LA and OC. Most recently, my experience has included dog sitting an adorable 80lb Instagram celebrity pooch (ask me about it!) during his owner's vacations abroad. What sets me apart is my attention to the highest quality care and ensuring owners feel at ease while away from their pets. I do this through proactive communication, paying close attention to detail and being somebody you can rely on. My job is to not only make your pet feel comfortable, but also their owner! I'd love to get the chance to help you however I can. I work a full-time day job as a Senior Marketing Manager in Irvine from 9am-6pm. My open windows during weekdays generally range from 7-8:30am, 12:00-1:00pm or 7:00-9:00pm. My schedule is more flexible on the weekends when I'm in town. I bring a warm, fun and friendly attitude around pets that I take care of. At the same time, knowing that every pet has their own unique personality, I make sure to respect their needs and moods- whether they're introverted and like to keep to themselves, more playful/ energetic or just need some pets and cuddles! I'm also comfortable with individual needs (e.g. particular diets, medications needed, types of physical activity needed, etc.). All I ask is for full transparency by the owner of any needs I should be aware of to make sure your pet is given the best care possible :)

“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were reluctant to reach out to a stranger to stay in our home with our dog. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made. We are so happy to have found Michelle. She is wonderful with our dog and he loves her, and we were very comfortable having her stay in our home. I highly recommend Michelle for pet and house sitting.”
