Doggy Day Care in Shady Canyon, Irvine

“My dog was very well cared for and came home happy and tired in a good way! He got some good walks in and Kathryn is excellent with animals and takes the time to share walks, pictures, and videos. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”

“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”

Desiree D.

“Thank you for taking such good care of my little Timmy! I appreciate the updates, very thoughtful.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care for the pets I watch. I truly see them as part of the family and always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience working with both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs. I’ve also worked with rescue dogs, and I understand that they sometimes need extra patience, compassion, and time to feel secure. We have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax and play, along with a great setup for potty breaks throughout the day. There are lots of quiet, safe places to go for walks. Pet care fits really naturally into our daily routine because we have flexible work schedules. There’s almost always someone here to give the dogs attention, care, and plenty of love. We also gave a dog who loves new friends!! If necessary we have the space to create separate areas for dogs who do best on their own. My goal is to make every dog feel at ease, whether they’re with us for a day or an extended stay. I also send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“So great! It was a last minute booking, within the hour, on a Sunday and Twinkle replied quickly. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures, which I didn’t expect, so that was so nice and comforting. Everything went smooth, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Communication was A+ .. actually A+ all around. I can’t think of anything I could ask her to improve on. Huskies are notoriously known to be difficult, but Twinkle is a pro!”

About: I'm the guy at parties hanging out with the dog. I have an adoring obsession with dogs but have been cursed with just bad enough allergies to not have a permanent one myself. Fortunately I've been able to live vicariously through petsitting for friends, but they can only go on so many vacations (despite my insistence)! I grew up with a lhasa Apso named Buster, two terriers named Haley and Comet, and a Chihuahua named Dodger, along with occasionally pet sitting for extended family and friends. I miss having a pooch around and would love to give yours a safe, relaxing place until you get back. I work a regular 9-5 job, Monday-Friday but work from home on Thursday and Friday. My office is about 2 miles away and I almost always come home for lunch. My weekends tend to be very flexible. I live in a very clean and safe area in Irvine that allows for nice walks with plenty of exploring. My apartment is a pretty standard 1 bedroom with pretty good space, and a second floor patio if your dog likes to chill outside and make some friends (or enemies?) with the local birds!

“Jing and James were very friendly and so was their dog Tato. Their place was nice and it was in a nice area with a park right across the street. Can't complain!”

“Echo and Rita do an amazing job watching my little Maltese. He loves them! He starts barking in excitement as I turn the corner to their complex. I would trust them with my human toddler...they’re really that loving and conscientious.”

“Cristina was amazing!!!! Was able to squeeze us in on super short notice and my little Fauna had the best time with her. Fauna was smiling in every photo! Don’t hesitate to book her!”

About: Hi, my name is Vicky, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a midday walk to get the wiggles out or a cozy drop-in visit for some pets and playtime, I’m here to make your life easier and your furry companion’s day better! For 5 of those years, I lived with and cared for my nieces, Laura, a sweet Pekinese shitzu mix, and Weylie, the cuddliest cat on the block. Beyond that, I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors from dogs and cats to bunnies, turtles, fish, and even bearded dragons. I’m a true animal lover who understands that every pet has their own routine and personality. Some love belly rubs, others prefer space and a sunny spot to nap and I’m attentive to all those little details. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every visit with care, patience, and a genuine love for animals while also making sure your pet enjoys our time together. Expect happy tails, content purrs, and plenty of updates for peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walk times, drop-in visits, and any special care your pet might need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. I follow your instructions carefully from feeding routines and medications to walking routes and favorite toys, I'll make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. I’m always respectful of your space and will leave everything just as I found it. I take time to build trust with each pet, whether that means a few extra minutes of play, a gentle approach with shy animals, or sticking closely to their routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

“Thank you for watching my Chihuahua Max Brando! Thank you for being so patient too with my rambunctious, feisty little guy. I really appreciate the tenderness and kindness you bestowed upon my fur baby. It was also very nice to see pictures of Max too. Greatly appreciate and highly recommend. ??”

“Lexi was very communicative and incredibly sweet. I’m so glad we were able to find her at the last minute—and even better, she’s a close neighbor! It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands.”

“Scooter is so lucky that he got to spend time with Marie and Ed! They are lovely people, and we wish we can take them with us on our relocation! Scooter received nature walks, fireplace views, and fluffy cuddles! Thank you so much <3”

About: Happy Paws, Happy Owners: Pawsitively the best pet sitting in town! I only take in a couple of pets at a time. I love pets and will take care of your pet as if it were our own. I have a sweet miniature schnauzer, and she looks forward to meeting you and your pets as well. I am taking a hiatus from work, and I will be home during the day. I can work with you to accommodate your fur babies' schedule and needs. I will work with you to identify your needs and support them accordingly. I love pets and look forward to hosting your little fur baby!

“Jordan was great with our dog Chanel! She was very nice and communicated with us all day which was appreciated. A very reliable sitter!”
