About: Always been an animal lover! I treat every pet as if they were my own. I don’t have any pets of my own currently, but I’ve housesit for all my friends dogs and cats for the last 4 years, including one blind husky. I’ve always been there for my friends if their pup needs a quick walk or cat needs attention for a few hours. When I had my first puppy, I was able to teach her all the tricks from sit, lie down, stay, and roll over. Hi! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. So extended weekends are easy if you need 24 hr care. Tues-Thurs are fine as long as pet can stay alone for a minimum of 6 hrs. Please note, 20+ hour care will increase price of stay. Instructions for each pet need to be clear and preferably written for first time stays. I will provide fun and entertainment for the pet while also keeping them as safe as possible in the client home. I know all pets personalities are different so I’m willing to work with the pet until it is comfortable with me and we can be best friends :)

About: I've had pets my whole life, especially dogs who've enjoyed long and happy lives. Right now, I even have a sweet old 14-year-old lab mix. Hey, I'm free right now and happy to help out. Plus, I've got my own ride, so getting to you and your furry friend won't be a problem at all! I get that every pet and their person has their own special way of doing things. Just tell me what your pet needs, and I'll make sure they get exactly the care you want.

Whether it be a potty break, fed a meal or a long walk. Keeping your pets safe is my first priority. I understand trusting someone to care for your pet while you are away is difficult.

About: I have loved animals all my life and have a genuine rapport with them. My clients become friends and keep me as their most trusted sitter for years. I would love to help you with your furry loved ones too! I am a retired Physical Therapist Assistant and after taking care of people for years now I really want to just take care of animals. They calm my soul and fill my heart with their unconditional love. I enjoy taking doggies for walks, or sitting with a kitty on my lap. My best memories involve somebody with four legs! ;o) I will stay in your home and care for all your needs while I am there. All pet care needs as well as watering plants, mail/package collecting, home security, whatever needs attention. I will leave your home clean and well respected.

About: I grew up in a house with both cats and dogs where everyone got along great! Once I moved out of the house I adopted my first rescue dog and have had dogs as pets ever since. Currently fostering dogs for Orange County Animal Services and have helped them get several dogs adopted into forever homes. I have regularly helped friends with dogsitting and housesitting while they are away from home, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Currently working part time, from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Mornings or afternoons I'm available for pet play dates or walking. Trusting our pets with someone else is a big step, so I take their safety and security very seriously. When walking a dog I'm always cautious about traffic, strangers, or other pets that have been let off leash. Building trust with your pet is the best way to keep them safe so they can see you again soon!

Dalia R.
“Dalia has been an amazing help with my doggo (Broseisdon) and kitty (Smalls) whenever I need some assistance. She's helped with walks, house and pet sitting, and boarding based on what I need at the time. It's clear that Dalia enjoys spending time with the pets wherever we interact and it's also evident how much my pets love her whenever she shows up for them. Specifically, Broseidon is a high-energy doggo that is mostly sweet but can be difficult on walks when he seems other dogs. Dalia has been able to handle Broseidon well on her walks and there have been no instances of issues because of his behavior when she is with him. This is not always the case with other sitters/walkers. I highly recommend Dalia for any of your fur baby needs! I'm just a little sad that I will have to share her with all of you, but your pets will reap the benefits tenfold!”

She was amazing! Was able to get my anxious cat to love her! Took great care of my fish, geckos and hamsters. Was great about responding and made sure my animals were getting the best care! 100% booking her for my next trip. Would give more stars if I had the option!

Athena is very reliable and great with communication. She has checked in on our cats on multiple occasions and I know that they are in great hands. I always appreciate the pictures and updates.

Katelyn did a great job taking care of our cat Cali. Loved that she took time to give her some extra pets!

Extremely kind and friendly and followed instructions to the letter, provided detailed checkins, was prompt to answer messages and above all else my cat was friendly to her! Which speaks to a good, patient person as my cat is not always very friendly. The communication was a league above and we delighted in seeing the fun checkin photos.
