House Sitting San Joaquin Marsh

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I work fully remote as a Mindset & Mental Health coach, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets—feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and well cared for. My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

“Irene was amazing. She kept us updated, asked great questions, and even was understanding when there was some confusion with the sitter right before her. The animals were very well taken care of while she was here!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are family. ❤️ I’ve had the joy of caring for animals throughout much of my life, including my cat, Bella, who was part of my family for 14 years, and my beloved dog, Ash, who I had for eight wonderful years. I lost Ash earlier this year, and that experience reminded me just how special the bond we share with our pets is. They’re more than just animals to us — they’re our babies, our companions, and a part of our everyday lives. I want to give other pets the same love, patience, and care that I always wanted for my own. Through caring for my own pets and helping family and friends, I’ve gained experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, shy pups who need extra patience, and active dogs who love exercise and attention. I’ve also cared for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a little extra reassurance, medication given according to your instructions, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur babies in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I want to make sure each one receives the individual attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family as if they were my own. 🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday and am looking to incorporate dog walking and pet sitting into my routine during weekday evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to work with pet parents in my neighborhood (Long Beach) or near my workplace (Irvine) for added convenience, and I’m also open to opportunities in other areas of Orange County. I look forward to providing pets with attentive, loving care and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs, while making sure they have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands!

“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”

“Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs ranging from 15lbs-20. Caring for dogs is second nature to me - family and friends always reach out to me for care. The company I was working for went bankrupt so I haven’t been working in a corporate setting- I have my schedule wide open currently for walks and care in my area. I follow instructions promptly for any care needed when I’m doing any dog sitting. I have two dogs that roam around my house but have cared for dogs that stay in their kennels. If staying at a clients house I just communicate to see what’s best. Every experience varies.

“Tim was very responsive while organizing the trip and while I was away. Followed all the instructions and gave our high energy dog the perfect amount of exercise. 10/10”

“Megan was wonderful. She communicated throughout the whole stay and made me feel confident my doggies were being loved and cared for. I definitely would recommend her!”

“Aaleah was wonderful. Her calm demeanor was exactly what my pups needed and are usually drawn to so she was a perfect fit staying at our house for a few days.”

“Michelle was able to help us watch our 2 cats on short notice. She followed our directions and updated us with photos and messages. She seemed comfortable with caring for our temperamental grumpy cat and our other cat loved her.”

“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”

“Thank you so very much Jen & Scott!!!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous leaving my 16-month-old black lab, Roxie, with people I didn’t know, but this couple completely exceeded every expectation. They treated Roxie like she was their own—taking her everywhere with them, keeping her active, exercised, and happy the entire time we were gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for and included in their daily life. On top of that, they left my home absolutely spotless, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. They are kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Roxie!”

About: I have a farm in Costa Rica and I love animals. I live in Costa Rica and Cali taking care of American akitas. I live to walk dogs. I’m semi retired and need something to do and keep me moving. And extra cash is nice. I’m very patient and honest and to the point. I like to walk and I enjoy dogs company. I will make sure they get the exercise and attention they need to be a happy dog and tired.
