About: I love animals. All my life I have had at least one dog growing up. I have my own mixed Australian Shepard who I love very much. I got her during the pandemic as a puppy and completely trained her on my own. I am currently studying for the law school entrance exam. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop by as needed and have my own transportation. Please do not hesitate to get to know me and consider me to take care of your best friend. I am currently only focused on studying and have a completely flexible schedule. I like to maintain an organized schedule and keep my appointments in an agenda to ensure I am on top of my pending appointments. I make sure to keep a clean environment for my clients and their pets. I also respect the dog’s space, as some pets may be hesitant in trusting strangers at first, and slowly building their trust. Most importantly, as a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving their fur baby with a sitter. I try to alleviate this stress by send updates and pictures to the client to reassure their pet’s well-being.

About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, a mixture of my own pets and those of my family and friends. Having grown up with dogs, I have constantly been around them and have grown to be comfortable with them. I am also willing to learn and adapt to take care of and meet the needs of your animal as best as possible. Every time I go to walk, play, or take care of your dogs, I will commit to showing them all the love while you are away! I have a dog of my own- a while Terrier Mix that is always full of energy! I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a ton of availability and am able to accommodate lots of walks, drop-ins, and house sittings as needed. I am also able to accept last-minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to take your doggy on walks or to the park. Anything that you already do to make your dog feel comfortable! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I also clean up after pets, monitor their behavior, and make sure the home stays clean and secure. I understand every pet has different needs, so I always try to be patient, reliable, and attentive to their personality and routine.

About: In the past, my dogs have had many health issues which means I had to give them the most attention and care. I have had big and small dogs that require lots of walks, feeding, and medicine. I go to school in Costa Mesa in the morning/day and I have rehearsal for theater at night. This leaves me with lots of time in between and I don’t want to drive home and back in that time because I live a bit far. I usually spend my time walking anyways. When watching over a dog on a walk or in the house, I make sure they are enjoying my company because I am a guest to them. I made sure they are safe at all times and are given attention and unconditional love. I like to stay on the pets normal schedule so that they like me and want to be my friend.

About: I am a college senior studying insects and environmental science. I love to spend time in nature and learn about the bonds humans and animals can have! I love all living things and live by kindness and respect for what nature has provided to us. I love dogs, but do not currently own one. I have a wonderful 3-year-old pet bearded dragon at home, so I am very experienced in how much time and effort it takes to have a little creature depend on you. I love to spend time outside and am an active hiker and nature walk participant. I love to stop and admire greenery and rocks as a dog would, so I am sure I'd get along with many of them! I currently go to school full-time, and I am available most evenings and during lunch times, as well as in the mornings. I will take any time out of my day when I am free to hang out with dogs! I currently live on an open campus with lots of green area, there is more than enough space for a puppy to roam around, there is also multiple parks nearby that dogs tend to frequent. I'd be more than happy to take the pup wherever they please!

About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!

About: Thoughtful, dependable care and clear communication are at the center of how I approach pet sitting. I’ve always naturally connected with animals and enjoy providing warm, attentive care that helps them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting, drop-in care and overnight stays, I’m very comfortable maintaining pets’ routines and helping them feel settled and comfortable in familiar spaces. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, including rabbits, fish and reptiles, which has helped me become very attentive, adaptable, and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care. What sets me apart most is my attentiveness, communication and calm presence. I understand how important it is to feel fully comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to provide thoughtful updates, photos and dependable care throughout each stay. I’m patient, respectful of your home and strive to care for pets in a way that feels personalized to their needs and personalities. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime and regular companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I understand how important routine and familiarity can be for animals, so I always try to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible while providing plenty of attention, patience and companionship. I’m very attentive to details such as feeding instructions, walking routines, medications if needed, household preferences and any behavioral or comfort needs your pet may have. I also make it a priority to keep spaces clean, secure and respectful throughout each stay. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.

About: I have a lot of knowledge and love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Feeding, walking, playing, and quality time are all up my alley. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and cats. I work part time mostly at night, so I am happy to check in on pets between shifts, do early morning and overnight care on the weekends. If you are comfortable, I have a car and can take furry friends on outings as well. In clients homes, I am willing to feed furry friends, walk them, play with them and spend time together! I am very attentive and detail oriented so you can trust that instructions will be followed to the letter, and no potential issues will go unnoticed.

It was really a good experience for Haru to walk with Alexis. Haru is a scared little cat. She takes time to know strangers. But Alexis was so professional. He knew how to handle my coward dog. After a walk, Haru was so tired! Definitely will request for another walk!
