“Eric is the most awesome Cat Dad and Dog Uncle I know! He goes above and beyond when taking care of my pets—not because he has to, but because he genuinely enjoys it. My cat always gets plenty of playtime, my dog comes back from fun walks with a wagging tail, and the litter box is always spotless.

8. Elizabeth M.
About: I grew up around dogs and cats since the moment I was born, have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs and taken care of various other animals. There isn't a pet I'm not ecstatic to meet, and I love being around animals especially dogs. I'm knowledgeable about the basic needs for cats and dogs, and know how to handle dogs up to 100 lbs. I am currently working remote so I'm available at your convenience. I love both early mornings and am also referred to as a night owl. I have no pets at this time so your pet will receive plenty of love and attention. I understand and respect all house rules and know to keep an eye on your beloved pets so they stay out of trouble and off of furniture and or carpet. Don't hesitate to mention any requests, special comments, or any specific needs to make you and your pet feel safer.

“Rebekah is our number 1 choice for petsitting! We have a very active and attention seeking mini Australian Shepherd and Rebekah does an amazing job looking after her when we are out of town. She is extremely kind, understanding, and truly has a love for all dogs. Rebekah is great at communicating and very reliable for scheduling, she sends updates and photos of your pet while you’re away so that you know what they have been up to and that they’re in great hands. I truly feel comfortable and never worry about our dog when she is with Rebekah, I can’t recommend her enough!”


10. Moriah P.
About: My husband and I were lucky to share 16 wonderful years with our beloved Yorkie, Captain Jules, whom we miss tremendously. Being around pets brings us so much joy! I have over two years of experience with dog sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with every pup in my care. Whether it’s taking them on long walks or even a special outing to a dog café or the beach (with your permission), I make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I take special care to follow any specific instructions and am happy to accommodate your dog’s unique needs. I’m located near South Coast Plaza and offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout Orange County. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can enjoy plenty of quality time with your dog through walks and playful activities throughout the day. I especially love taking morning beach walks on weekends and would be thrilled to have your sweet pup join me for some fun and companionship. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow specific guidelines for feeding, exercise, and daily routines to ensure the pet’s comfort and safety. I maintain a consistent routine that minimizes stress and helps the pet feel secure, while also respecting the home environment by keeping everything just as it was. I provide quality attention through engaging playtime, quiet companionship, or cuddles, and I monitor their health and behavior closely, alerting you immediately if I notice any changes. Additionally, I prioritize safety by securing your home and ensuring that all pet-friendly areas are hazard-free, so you can enjoy a worry-free experience knowing your pet is in good hands.

I have been around animals my whole like to understand how they are feeling and what each animal likes. I come to understand there personalities and I love to play with them. I am a very active person inside and out side of the house. Currently I run around my house to play hide/seek with my cats all of the time and it always beings joy to my heart. If I don't know something about an animal I will ask you and do research to make sure the information I know to be accurate for every animal. I follow a lot of instagram pages that gives facts about a lot of animals. I feed my cats 2x day because that is a healthy diet. I also incorporate play time to make sure they are physically fit.

I would love to be given the opportunity to take care of your precious pets! I work from home 4/5 days of the week so I am fairly flexible Friday-Wednesday to go where I need to throughout the day. Some Thursdays, I work in office during the morning/afternoon. I don’t have too many personal obligations, so it would be easy for me to watch over your pets for the majority of the week!
