4. Harry W.
“I can't say enough good things about Harry! He has been amazing with my large pitbull, who can be quite aggressive towards other dogs. His calm and confident approach has made all the difference. I trust him completely to take care of my dog, and it's clear he genuinely cares about my dogs well-being :) Knowing my dog is in such capable hands gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Harry to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled dog sitter.”
5. Patricia D.
“When Patricia came for a meet and greet with our cat, I knew he would be in great hands! Patricia cared for our cat for almost a week and sent great updates and photos. Sometimes when we leave our cat for a few days, we come home and he is very anxious, but not this time. She gave him lots of love and attention and it shows. I highly recommend Patricia to sit your pets!”

9. Tiffany R.
About: Hello! My name is Tiffany. I am a dog and cat owner (one pitbull, a toy poodle, and 4 cats). I am active and walk dogs frequently. I also take my own dog for a run 5x a week. I am knowledgeable about my surroundings. I have cared for multiple pets throughout my life and am aware of what is needed through boarding and sitting. I am attentive to detail and love to spend time with animals. I have experience with all ages of cats and dogs. I am open to any questions you have about me and if so, ask away! I look forward to spending time with your pets! Per care is my primary focus at the moment. This is something I am willing to do at any time of the day throughout the week. I have 2 dogs of my own. Our routine in the morning is bathroom, morning treat, breakfast and then cuddles. I run with my pitbull 5x a week, it depends on the day if we fit that into our schedule. The dogs are taken out frequently for bathroom breaks throughout the day. They are fed again at night before they get night time treats. Both my dogs are crate trained, however, your dog does not need to be if I board him/her as I have a guest room that they can stay in with me for the night. My cats have a more relaxed schedule, since they don’t go outside. They do have a catio, though. I clean their boxes once a day. They are fed in the morning and night.
10. Mohammad A.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my Scottish Fold than Mohammad! While I was traveling, he took such wonderful care of my cat that when I returned, my little furball was not only clean and content but also cuddled up to Mohammad like they’d been best friends forever. It was as if my cat didn’t even realize I was gone! Mohammad’s genuine love for animals and attentive care truly set him apart. I’ll definitely trust him with my pet again!”
11. 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'm currently working from home 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. My dog does not currently live with me but 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.
12. Halley P.
“Haley would make an excellent dog walker or pet sitter. She is kind, caring, very responsible and can be trusted to make good judgments when caring for pets. She is also very knowledgeable about their diet requirements and health needs. She has had pets of her own that have flourished under her care. Halley is a person with great integrity, is honest and trust worthy. My past experiences recommend her to be a caretaker”
13. Melanie S.
“Melanie came to check in on my pup for a quick walk and fed her dinner. She was quick to respond, incredibly kind and checked in on time. This was a last minute booking and Melanie was SO accommodating and ready to help. Millie cant wait to see her again!! Thank you Melanie!!!”
14. Salem M.
About: I have been a pet parent of birds, turtles, fish, two cats, and currently my cat Cocoa and dog Bucky! My fur babies are both rescued from the street and/ or abusive homes, so I have experience with how to care for anxious animals. I learned to care for very small kittens as well as adult cats. I have experience with caring for small and large dogs, and I am always learning how to better care for each animal I meet! I can provide basic care for aquatic animals. I am also fluent in English and Spanish. Tengo experiencia cuidando pajaros, perros grandes o chicos, y cuidado basico de animales aquaticos. Apriendo como cuidar por gatos adultos y de chiquitos. Siempre estoy aprendiendo la manera mejor para cuidar cada animal! I work part time, with the intent of pet care becoming my full time job! I am able to travel within Orange County to client's homes for house sitting as well as walks or simple drop in visits. For house sitting, I will make sure to ask for any important medical/personal pet information I need to know beforehand (food, medicine, personality traits). For walks, as well as food or medicines, I will always set timers/reminders for a well structured daily routine for our animal friends! For walks or drop in visits I will be sure to bring or ask about treats, and bring toys and extra supplies.

“I worked with Ariana for the past 2 years in customer service and all I can say is amazing things. She turns any bad situation into an amazing experience for the customer. She has expressed to me her love for animals and hopes to get one of her own one day, but for the meantime she will enjoy caring for your pet.”
