Pet Sitting Santa Ana

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so I have over 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their body language, recognize when they’re feeling stressed or playful, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, giving medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In your home, I will respect your space and follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, and care. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and supervision while you’re away.

About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.

About: I grew up with pets my entire life. As a kid, we had four dogs in the house at once. A lab/pitbull, a German Sheppard, a boarder collie, and a chihuahua. At 21, I took in a pregnant cat who later had 4 kittens. I got them into a foster program and was later able to adopt the mom back. She had been with me for the past four years. I grew up with pets my entire life, and I love being around them! I am responsible, trustworthy and excited to work with you and your pets! I currently am going to school and looking to start going down to part time work to help my schedule. For the time being, weekends may be best for me! Once I am fully part-time, I will be viable during the days and weekends! My pets safety and happiness comes first in all my decisions. Dinner is on a strict schedule and I make sure that everything in my home is safe for her. I know the fear of leaving your pet with someone else, and because of that I want to make sure that I am the kind of pet sitter I would feel safe leaving mine with.

“Thank you for taking care of my kitties! Hannah did a great job and was very communicative throughout”

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I have experience watching family and friends’ dogs during trips, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am typically available after 4:00 PM for walks and pet care I provide attentive care, pay close attention to each pet’s needs, go at their pace, and make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable.

“Tessa took care of our cat Olivia for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation. She came in to visit and care of Olivia once a day. She was absolutely fantastic. She provided daily updates with photos to us. It was clear that Olivia adored Tessa and could not wait for her daily cuddles. Tessa is a kind and warm person who loves animals. I hope she can take care of our pet next time we are out of town. Tessa, thank you for being so amazing!”

About: I’m the person that tries to find the pet at the party. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats for several years! I’m happy to help you with your child whether it’s taking a walk to the park, needing a potty break, or just overall attention while you’re away for the holidays! I'm currently a full-time student and work remotely allowing me to have more time to look after your loved ones! I have a lot of flexibility if needed. If you have any special requirements for your pet such as administering medicine, feeding, and all of the above, I will make sure to provide that based on your request! Other examples: Do they get along with other animals (dogs/cats)? Do they require going for a run?

“Andrea was amazing with our two kitties! So communicative, always sent us photo and video updates, and the cats loved her. I would love to have her back to watch them again.”

“Jingying and Alex were great! They really cared to do an in-person meet up beforehand to understand all my pets needs. They asked great questions to double-check all the care details. Highly recommend!!”

“Absolutely excellent! Nadia was so good with my pups while I was traveling and they clearly just lived her. She's a gem and I'll be booking her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs (mastiffs, labs, and basset hounds) since I was a kid and have regularly cat-sit for family members and friends since I was 14. From giving medicine to cleaning up accidents I’ve probably handled anything your pet could throw at me before, and if they manage to give me something new I’m happy to learn! I work full time in a corporate office so I’m available outside the hours of 8:30a-5:30p (most days) to check up on your pets. I’m more than happy to make drop in visits on my lunch if I can! I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible when I’m there! Treating your pet how you normally treat them is super important to me, and if for some reason I don’t think I’d be able to support your pet in their needs I’ll let you know right away so you can find a more appropriate sitter.

“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”

“Rebecca took great care of my 3 cats! It's obvious that she cares for animals, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

I am currently available from 10AM to 7PM, Monday to Friday. I can be with your pets as long as needed in that time frame. If weekends are also needed, feel free to send me a message & we can discuss details as long as I am available. I can provide dog walking, stopping in to play with pets, taking pets to the park & give oral medication to your pets. I can also provide dogsitting at your home after getting to know your pets.

“Carolina did an amazing job with my pup. She’s played with him as well as fed him. She also made sure that I was updated and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her and will definitely hire her again for Koda.”

About: I have done rover in a different state for a few years and loved it! It’s such a fun gig, and best of all I get to make a lot of new fur friends. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals, and have always had pets of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and yours! I’m looking to make this a mostly permanent job! I love pets and being able to make money while doing something I love seems like the dream to me! I can dote after your pets.

About: I raised my lively beagle for 10 years and have now moved on to dog sitting my friends’ pups! I am extremely attentive to their needs & love spending time with dogs! I am fully available on weekends! I do work a 9-5 but I can definitely make myself available after my shifts as long as it’s after 5pm. I can easily adapt to working in other people’s homes and will dog sit based on the clients house rules. I like to observe pets first to see where there safe spaces are in their home and to get a sense of their boundaries.
