About: Hi, I'm Mia! I love pups of all personalities and energy levels! I've had dogs for most of my life, and I've dog-sat for friends and family for the past 4 years. I'll be sure to treat your fur baby with the utmost kindness, respect, and compassion. I'm also comfortable with bully breeds! I'm a graduate student, so my schedule is very flexible! Usually, I keep my early mornings and evenings free, but I'm also happy to drop by in the middle of the day for potty or play time (or much needed stress relief for myself!). My schedule’s flexibility is amenable to last minute bookings and cancellations too. I love all animals, and approach each with respect, care, and patience. I am happy to send photos of your fur baby each time I stop by, take pups for a short walk around the neighborhood, or a longer walk too. Overall, I hope to be a positive addition to your pet's environment :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working freelance, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays any time, so I can provide consistent playtime, walks, and attention throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and to keep your pup company in a safe, social environment. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: Hi fur parents! I’ve had a deep love and passion for animals for well over 20 years. With experience caring for more than 15 pets of my own—plus time spent volunteering at a local animal shelter—I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from tiny-medium-seniors -to energetic giants. I understand that every pup has their own unique pace and personality, whether they love a light jog, sniffing every blade of grass, or just sitting in the shade people-watching. Let me know &I'll accommodate:) During our walks, I’ll keep a close eye on your dog’s safety and well-being—making sure they stay hydrated, avoid eating foreign objects/bugs, and even keeping tabs on their stool health (I have a boxer myself, so I know the drill!). Please don’t hesitate to share any special quirks, needs, or preferences your pup has—I'm here to make our walks as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for them. 🐾 "Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." -O.P I work hybrid and home 80% of the time. If you just give me a couple days advance notice and I definitely accommodate you. Sometimes I can do same day especiallyif youre nearby, just send me a message!:) For Drop in visits i always do the basics, i first make sure your animal is good spirits, second make sure they have relieved themselves for dogs or if cat have a clean litter and lastly make sure they are fed and have water. End the visit with the some cuddles/pets/butt scratchies!

About: Living with my calm and lovable Shiba Inu, I understand every dog’s unique needs. If your pup loves the outdoors, we can explore nature together, or enjoy cozy cuddles at home. As a shelter volunteer and big dog walker, I’m passionate about pet care and always eager to learn more to provide the best for your furry friend! I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. Please reach out at least a week in advance to schedule – I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a fenced yard where your pup can soak up the sunshine, and a calm dog who enjoys quiet time. If needed, your pup can easily be crate-trained for added comfort and safety. Rest assured, they’ll have a great time!

About: I have had pets for as long as I could remember. Although my family started with small animals at first, when I was in high school, we got our first cat, a Scottish Fold named Cali! Now I have two dogs, Taco and Willow, and a snake, Java. I am also currently a vet student and have worked in the veterinary field for about 5 years. I have also been in the animal care industry for about 6 years. With my experience, you can rest assured that someone experienced in animal care, animal behavior, and veterinary medicine is taking wonderful care of your dog! Asides from knowing how to perform medical procedures for animals, I also love to train dogs. I’m very interested in behavioral medicine and enjoy training my own two little ones. Taco is task-trained by myself alone. Do you have a behaviorally complex or reactive dog? No worries! I have experience handling reactive and anxious dogs, even having managed to train one to be able to walk on the same side of the street as other dogs! All of my background and knowledge will help me take the best care of your family members! *Please note that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am only available past 5. On most Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free in the morning until noon. For this reason, I offer the best quality care for lower prices!* I am currently a student working part-time, so my current weekday availability is after 5:30 PM (though my weekend schedule is far more flexible). Going on walks and stopping by to care for animals is a great way for me to destress so you’ll know that I am enjoying my time with you loved ones and thus are taking the best care of them! I understand how to read animal body language very well from all of my years working in the vet industry. I know how to approach both confident and fearful animals, as I have a slightly anxious girl myself. I always use treats, attention, and toys as a way to gain their trust and strongly believe in positive reinforcement training, as well as a fear free approach. I know how to ensure that the room is dog/cat-proofed and what signs to look out for should your pet not be feeling well. Important to note that I am fear free certified!

“Robert was on time, and super friendly! He helped us with our senior dog as he needs subcutaneous injection. Although he struggled a bit since our dog can gets nervous before the shot, he was calm and finished his job even though it was probably stressful. Highly recommend Robert’s work ethic and we will definitely use him again as he was such a kind-hearted person! Thank you Robert!”

“Dorcas has gone above and beyond my expectations with taking great care of my little fur babies, Kona and Lexi. She was very responsive, attentive to details, and communicated well over the course of dog sitting for me. I even asked for a quick drop-in earlier than the scheduled time to attend to Kona who needed immediate assistance. I highly recommend Dorcas to anyone who is in need of a trusted person to take care of anyone's beloved pets and I will definitely book again with her in the future! It is comforting to know that my fur babies are in the very good trusting hands of Dorcas.”

“Pauline was so communicative and friendly, Amigo was so excited and happy after the drop in visit. We are new here in Orange County Irvine so we are happy that we found our new favorite dog walker/dog sitter so fast here. Highly recommend Pauline and will definitely book her again with Rover next time.”

About: I’ve been a cat mom to two spoiled fur babies for the past two years. I’m super familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving all the cuddles (if they want them!). I treat every cat like my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available all day throughout the week to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. I only offer drop-in visits, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

“11/10 pet care! I was away for a long time, but I received great, thorough, daily updates. I returned to a very happy, healthy dog and an immaculately clean apartment (which is a huge deal with my messy dog)! The level of responsibility and detail-oriented work done has me blown away. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Van and I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I used to have a dog myself, so I understand their unique needs whether it’s high energy walks, gentle strolls for seniors, or extra patience with puppies. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every walk is fun, safe and tailored to your pup’s personality. I fit dog care/walking into my day alongside with rebuilding my baking business in a new city. I genuinely love being around dogs! Right now, it's just a side gig, but I’d love for it to become a bigger part of my routine. Getting outside, spending time with pups, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I really enjoy! It also gives me my puppy fix since I probably won't own one for awhile. I focus on making your pup feel comfortable, safe, and loved. For walks, I tailor to their energy/pace level and make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. During drop-in visits, I ensure they have food, fresh water, potty breaks and lots of affection and playtime. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind.

“Katelin did the most amazing job taking care of my cats. She was available last minute, which I greatly appreciated, and she was a great communicator. She also sent fun photos and videos! I’d book her again in a heart beat.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of feline personalities. I grew up in a cat-loving family—my mom has three cats, and I currently live with one myself. Back in college, I lived with and cared for five cats, so I’m very familiar with the daily needs, quirks, and comforts cats require. Whether it’s feeding, playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life—I have a cat of my own, so feeding, playing, cleaning the litter box, and giving affection are part of my everyday routine. I enjoy building quiet moments into my day to bond with animals, and I’m used to adjusting my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or extended care, I’m happy to make time for your cat like I do for my own. In my home, I create a calm, cat-friendly environment with cozy resting spots, clean litter boxes, and plenty of toys and enrichment. I maintain a consistent feeding and cleaning schedule and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication, or playtime. I always take the time to bond with each cat, giving them the attention, space, or affection they need. Cleanliness, reliability, and lots of love are my top priorities.
