Did an awesome job with my puppy, arrived on time, amazing communication. Morgan also accommodated both all my requests as well as the hoops my apartment building requires for recurring visitors (not many, but still) I’m planning to rebook regularly.

Ella, I can’t thank you enough for coming in to play with Frida and make sure she was taken care of. I just got back to a happy and clean home. Thank you! We will definitely coordinate again to have you come be with Frida.

About: As a dedicated and enthusiastic pet walker and sitter, I bring a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each pet. My approach is based on patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that every walk or visit is a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience for your furry friend. I was born and raised in Orange County and I've always loved animals! I am happily married and my husband and I are the proud parents of our pup, Bailey. I pride myself on being reliable and trustworthy, always arriving on time and ready to provide the best care possible. Whether it's a brisk walk to burn off energy, a leisurely stroll for older dogs, a playful outing in the park, or simply spending time, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of your furry friend. Communication is key to my service, and I keep clients updated with regular reports and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured that your dog is in good hands. With a focus on safety, fun, and building strong bonds, I strive to make every visit a highlight of your dog's day. I am a full-time dog walker and pet sitter. My schedule is flexible and I will do my best to meet your dog walking and pet sitting needs. The safety of your pet is of upmost importance to me. I always take the proper precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk or visit with your pet.

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds for several years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic care, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daily visits, walks, and boarding, including weekends and evenings. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet gets the time, exercise, and care they need based on their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure, and calm environment, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior, feeding schedules, and routines to ensure consistency. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, supervised, and well cared for at all times.

About: 20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members. I’m self-employed so I’ll have plenty of time to play, care for, walk, and train your pup if needed! I’m available for your doggy day care and boarding needs! ‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.

Chelsea sent great updates and pictures so that comforted me to know that my cat was in good hands 😊 Thanks Chelsea! I'll definitely use you again next time we are out of town!

About: With three years of managing an animal rescue and a lifetime of caring for dogs and cats, I bring both passion and expertise. I specialize in high-energy dog running, capable of long distances—even with big breeds like huskies. Beyond that, I’m experienced in house-sitting and caring for pets with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications (including insulin) and providing care for conditions like cerebellar hypoplasia or megaesophagus. Whether your pet needs a fun run or specialized care, I’m here to help them thrive! ***FOR DOG RUNS: FEE IS “ADDITIONAL DOG” UNDER WALK*** <<<depending on your dog, I can run them up to 3 miles within 30 minutes I provide flexible care every day of the week, offering up to 12-hour stretches of pet care. I dedicate an hour or two every morning and evening to my own animals, but beyond that, I’m available for your pets’ needs throughout the day and/or night In my clients’ homes, I create a calm and safe environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I have extensive experience caring for special needs cats and dogs—administering medications, supporting shy or anxious pets, and ensuring comfort from playful kittens to senior dogs. Whether it’s enrichment, grooming, or medical care, I adjust to the pet’s personality and routine. While I primarily offer care in your home, we can discuss the best arrangement for your pet’s comfort and safety. My goal is always to build trust and provide peace of mind.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, whether that be my own, or family and friends’ dogs. I am an absolute dog lover and have experience caring for dogs ranging from puppy to senior age. My attention to detail and responsibility will ensure that your dog receives the attention and care they deserve! I currently work part time with availability throughout the week, including weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to be available when needed and able to help in a pinch! I am respectful of you and your pet’s needs. My home doesn’t allow for pets, and because of that I would love to provide help and company to pets that need that.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)

About: Hi! I’m Elise and I’ve been a pet owner for over 15 years 🐈‍⬛🐕🐠 I currently have two cats — Archie is super friendly and playful with seemingly unlimited energy, and Jenny is his calmer, older sister who is a huge love bug for people. Jenny was unfortunately born with a rare spinal condition which left her suddenly paralyzed in 2025. After surgery, she made an amazing recovery and has regained almost 100% of her mobility, however, she still struggles with urinary and fecal incontinence. I have since become very experienced with caring for special needs cats, and am comfortable administering medication, expressing a cat’s bladder, and performing mobility exercises. 🐕🐾 Growing up, I had two Pekingese sisters who were the absolutes little lights of my family’s lives. One of them unfortunately suffered from seizures — of which I diligently monitored and tracked. Eventually I became very experienced with recognizing the signs that she was about to seize and knew the best course of action to prevent her from accidentally injuring herself. Despite the seizures she and her sister lived long happy lives until they sadly passed in 2024. 🐈🐾 Once a week, I enjoy volunteering with the Girls of Dogs and Cats Rescue at my local Petsmart. A regular shift consists of sanitizing enclosures, cleaning litter boxes, refilling food and water bowls, and of course spending time with adoptable cats — giving them attention and playtime until they’ve found their fur-ever home! We typically have anywhere from 3-8 cats at a time so I’m very comfortable dealing with a high-energy, furry and chaotic situation! 🐠🌿 In addition to cats and dogs, I’m also a huge fish lover! I have had multiple aquariums and am very experienced in fish care. If you have any tanks yourself I can gladly check in on them and feed, administer medication, or do a water change if needed. 🙇🏻‍♀️🧋 I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friend(s)! I am unavailable all day on Mondays and before 4pm on Thursdays and Fridays, but feel free to ask me directly if I am available for a certain time or date as my schedule is pretty flexible. 🏡🐾 A typical day in my home is relaxed and slow paced 😴 I love sleeping in with my cats and cozying up next to my fish tanks with a sweet treat — you can absolutely expect the same level of patience and affection when it comes to me caring for your furry friend. 🏡🐾 During a drop-in visit or walk, you can expect me to follow any and all instructions you provide for me as I care for you furry family! I have experience with all types of personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s a cat with a shyer personality or a playful pup with energy to spend, I’ll gladly tailor my services to fit your pets unique needs while prioritizing their safety and comfort.

Julie is the best!! I booked with a few other sitters before and I can confidently say that Julie is by far the most reliable and caring one. My dog was happy and tired when we came home - Julie took him on multiple walks and his favorite park. His breakfast and dinner schedules were perfectly on time and I appreciated the many photo updates I received throughout the day. Will definitely book with Julie again!
