House Sitting in South Coast, Santa Ana, CA

“Michelle was great on communication, so sweet, sent photos, kept in touch, listened to instructions, has a great space for dogs to run. I couldn’t be happier with how her sitting my dog went. I highly recommend Michelle.”

“Jennie (and Bennie) are the best - see my last review! Jennie worked miracles with our shyest cat. I never thought I’d see him happily come out and meet strangers, and Jennie has patiently socialized him, to the point he happily greets her! Thank you, as always!”

“Sarah was great in providing care for my puppy! She also provided lots of updates and came by early to get acquainted with him. Thanks so much Sarah!”

“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.”

“Brynn was amazing, I felt confident in her abilities to take care of our pups. Super communicative, really took the time to understand all care instructions! I feel like she left our place cleaner than we left it.”

“We cannot give higher praise for Amyra and James. They put our minds at ease and were such amazing help! Our puppies loved them and we really appreciate everything they did. We trust them completely and are no longer worried about leaving our pups knowing they’d be in the best hands!”

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.

“Serena was great! Thank you so much for staying with my fur babies. The house looked great, and the dogs appeared well cared for. She brought toys, and sent me lots of pictures, and even filled my outdoor bird feeder! Love that she loved ALL my creatures. I would definitely recommend her.”

Susan A.

“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”

Jessica O.

“Elizabeth is amazing! I cannot imagine a better pet sitter. I was gone for 10 days, and the whole time she was communicative and sent lots of pictures. When I got home, my apartment was better than I left it! I could tell both of my pets were comfortable with and well loved by her. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Vandy! My husband and I both work from home, which means your dog will enjoy round‑the‑clock love, supervision, and plenty of attention. We live right across from Tustin Legacy Park, surrounded by beautiful walking trails and several dog parks, so daily walks and playtime are always part of the routine. Our apartment is a cozy one‑bedroom with a den. There is plenty of space for pets to feel at home and our patio has dog‑friendly turf, perfect for quick potty breaks if needed. We only accept a limited number of bookings at a time so every dog gets personalized care in a safe, calm environment. We’ve cared for small, medium, and large dogs over the years and know how to make pets feel comfortable away from their families. We’re especially mindful of maintaining your dog’s usual schedule, feeding routine, and comfort items (beds, toys) to reduce stress while you’re away. We send frequent photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is not just cared for, but loved as if they were our own. Whether it’s boarding or daycare, we’re here to give your pup the perfect home‑away‑from‑home experience. Since my husband and I both work from home, we’re around to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day - from morning potty breaks to mid‑day walks and evening playtime. Our community has multiple dog‑friendly parks and walking paths right outside our door, so walks are built naturally into our daily routine. When we want to give dogs extra adventure, we also have Tustin Legacy Park nearby for longer outings. Safety and comfort are at the heart of how we care for pets. Our home is fully dog‑friendly. We’ve secured anything that could be harmful and keep our few houseplants safely out of reach. Our patio is completely fenced and enclosed with turf, giving dogs a secure space for quick potty breaks or fresh air time. We only host one booking at a time (or pets from the same family), so your dog will always get calm, personalized attention. We follow your instructions closely -feeding, walks, and routines -and provide frequent photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for like family.

“As always, Halley was amazing watching our pup and kitty. She responded last minute to our request. And not only did she care for our fur babies, she also went out of her way to untangle a mess of necklaces on our table. Saved us hours :) Thanks again Halley!”

About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. In college, my roommate brought her dog in, and when she was away, I treated her dog as my own. I walked, fed, and played with her. I have a lot of experience taking care of them. I currently volunteer at the OC Animal Shelter in the kitten nursery and took a dog 101 course. No matter what type of pet you have, I would love to care for them. I'm free after 5 pm Monday-Thursday and Friday after 2 pm. Saturday and Sunday, I'm free most mornings, and I will always be free after 1 pm. I respond quickly and send however many updates/pictures you want. I will always keep an eye on your pet, even if they are in an enclosed environment. I will follow any instruction/schedule to the tee. Even though I'm energetic, if your pet wants a calm night, I will be able to provide it. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and loved.

“Joy took good care of our pup while we were away. She was friendly, respectful and responsive. Also provided updates and photos which kept us at ease knowing our boy was doing well. Would love to have her back again!”

“Bre Anna was AMAZING with my very energetic 15 week-old puppy, Charlie. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats for the last couple of years through friends and neighbors whether they were under 1 year or senior pets. I’ve taken dogs on walks and to dog parks (if approved), as well as house sat. I’m currently in the process of starting a new position of which I start on the August 6th. Between now and then, I will be fully available for pet care aside from August 2nd + 3rd. I can crate your dog or cats if needed, always ensuring they are in a safe space by making sure there is no food or anything they can accidentally swallow in the vacinity, ensuring they stick to a routine if applicable, and making sure they are always fed and played with!

“Alex was prompt, professional, had good communication, and did well with our pup. Definitely recommend Alex!”
