House Sitting in Trabuco Canyon

“Donna and Mike were the answer to our prayers for our senior Chihuahua Capri. They were both loving and kind while watching her and sent updates each day, sometimes multiple times a day! Our Capri has health challenges and requires medicine throughout the day as well as help with feeding and mobility since she has a hard time seeing with cataracts. They were wonderful from drop-off to pick-up and gave Capri lots of reassurance and cuddle time. We would highly recommend using them as sitters for your fur babies. We will definitely book them again!”

“Penelope stayed at our home for 4 days with our two dogs. Everything went great and the dogs seemed very happy! One of our dogs is a new rescue and very active. She stopped over to meet the dogs a second time the day before we left. Penelope returned our texts quickly and sent pictures of the pups. We felt very confident that they were in good hands.”

“We are always anxious about leaving our spoiled kitties and have often passed up travel opportunities But now we have met Erika!! She did an excellent job housesitting and providing safe companionship for our fluffy babies. They both took to her immediately (this is not usually the case!). Thanks to Erika for a great weekend!!”

“Shahla is THE BEST! She watched our dogs for the long Thanksgiving holiday and became their new best friend! She sent us photo and video updates throughout the day, everyday. She always reassured us that they were happy and safe. This was our first time using Rover and I feel so blessed to have found Shahla. Please do not hesitate to have her watch your house and pets while you are away. She will not disappoint! Thank you, Shahla! xoxo, Hank and JJ”

About: I have baby pictures of me with our family golden. When I was a teenager, I was in 4-H and showed dogs at the county and state level. When I was a young adult, I showed AKC Rally Obedience and agility. I have taught puppy kindergarten classes and Rally obedience classes through local dog clubs when we lived in NC. I know you might be hesitant to let a “stranger” watch your dog, and I totally get that. I’ll take care of your dog like he/she is mine because that’s what I would expect from you. I am an educator and my husband has a flexible schedule. We have plenty of time to take care of your dog while you are away or on a daycare basis. When you board/day care with us, your dog and our dog will have the run of our townhome. We don’t have a yard, but a nice size patio that is enclosed with a 6 foot concrete and glass wall. I take our dog on 3-4 walks a day through our complex. There’s also some nice hills and connecting complexes for longer walks. Our dog seems quite content with this set up, and he’s pretty spoiled.

About: I was born in the UK and have had dogs my whole life—growing up on a big country property, we always had furry companions! My childhood was spent with a Corgi and later an Irish Setter. Since moving here in my 30's, we’ve had many wonderful rescue dogs, including a particularly mischievous Beagle! We’re dedicated dog parents (note: my husband (background checked too) is also available when needed) who love training our pups but also spoiling them with love. Senior dogs hold a special place in our hearts (our current pup is a senior), but we also adore the energy and antics of younger dogs. Having recently used ROVER for our own dogs, we completely understand the hesitation of leaving your pets with someone new. But rest assured—we’ll treat your dogs like family, with plenty of love, cuddles, walks, and affection. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! We specialize in the small dog variety!! We work from home every day, with our dogs always nearby as we go about our day. We rarely go out in the evenings, and our pups sleep in our room at night. We truly love spending time at home with our furry companions! We have a fenced back patio and a doggy door, making it easy for pups to come and go. We love going on walks and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We want your dog to feel completely comfortable—whether that means using their own bedding or a crate if you prefer. We also understand that routines are important and are happy to follow your dog's schedule!

About: I have taken care of my neighbors pets since I was 18 and have been so blessed by the experience. It has taught me that each animal is different and needs select level of care and attention. I will curate your pets experience based on how they're temperament is and I will take the best care as if they were my own fur baby. I work monday- friday 8:30-5:30 and will care for your pets between evening and morning. Sometimes my boss if flexible enough where I could run to your house and let them out midday on my lunch break. I will walk at night or early morning depending on the day. I will take extra care in your home. I do rent so I am unable to care for your pets in my own space but I would be more than happy to help you out in their most comfortable environment. I'm a preschool teacher so I am out most of the day until 5:30.

About: Hello! My name is Samira. I am a reliable and caring dog lover with lifelong experience with dogs. I have grown up with dogs as pets since I was a child, which has helped me understand their needs, personalities, and behavior. I am very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I used to also volunteer at an animal shelter, where I took dogs for walks, helped socialize them, and assisted with the adoption process. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. I currently have a full time job during the day so I am available anytime after 3:30pm on weekdays and anytime (morning-evening) on the weekends. Unfortunately, I won't be able to bring dogs to my home, but while caring for them at their home I will be sure to be mindful about treating your home respectfully while making sure to be loving companion for your pet.

“David was absolutely amazing for us! He was able to accommodate us last minute for our wedding, which meant so much during such a busy and special time. From the moment he arrived, he bonded so quickly with all three of our dogs — it was clear they felt comfortable and happy with him right away. He kept us updated throughout the night and sent the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. Huge thumbs up! He was truly awesome, and we are so grateful for him! 🐾💛”

About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs including my own husky and several senior pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

“Amazing as expected with Shannon. She came on time, followed instructions, and our puppy was sound asleep when we returned. Shannon provides updates and pictures during her stay. She is polite and communicative. We would continue to hire Shannon for pet sitting our little guy! Thanks Shannon!”

“Abby and Austin are absolutely wonderful! They spent the day at our home and then at the dog park with Penny, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. They kept her happy, entertained, and comfortable all day long. It was such a relief knowing Penny was in such loving, capable hands while we were away. They sent updates throughout the day so we knew she was doing great, and we came home to a very content pup. Penny adores them, and it’s clear how much they love and understand dogs. We feel so lucky to have found them and will definitely be booking with them again!”

“We feel so lucky to have found Rebecca. She did a great job watching over our two pups for a week. She followed all of our instructions/requests and went above and beyond with the house too! She sent daily updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommend!”

Ramie T.

“Stella was fantastic! She took such great care of sofie, taking her on multiple walks each day. She sent us plenty of photos and videos, and was always very responsive whenever we messaged her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she left our home spotless- she even cleaned before leaving, which we absolutely didn’t expect and greatly appreciated. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible sitter ❤️”

“Hoai is very thorough and takes the time to get to know your pets and their routine. She takes copious notes and sends many follow-up messages and photos. She has a deep love for animals and treats them as if they are her own. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies!!”

“We found Tyrie to be not only naturally good with animals, but also extremely responsible in caring for our home and garden. We were gone for two weeks and returned home to find everything in perfect condition! We will have her back for our next vacation. She's the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered!”

Mary Jane M.

“Shayna was so great with my dog. He has really bad separation anxiety and Shayna stayed all day with him and he loved her. He was able to relax and feel comfortable with her which put our minds at ease while we were gone. So glad we found someone to help us when we need to leave.”
