Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Turtle Ridge, Irvine

“I cannot say enough fabulous things about Rachael. I found her while being in a pinch out of town on vacation, needing someone last minute to step in for a drop-in visit and she was immediately responsive and available. She is highly accommodating and my Cane Corso girl loves her. She has pulled through for me several times and I am so thankful for her. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I recently had to return to the office full-time after working from home for the past three years, and I was quite anxious about leaving my dog alone for eight hours. A friend recommended Rover, and I decided to give it a try, though I was initially hesitant about having someone come to my place and take care of my dog. That's when I found Lisa, who lives nearby. We arranged a meet-up last week, and to my surprise, I realized I have known her husband and her dog, Bodie, for the past three years from our neighborhood walks. This connection instantly put me at ease, and I was thrilled to have found someone I could trust. Lisa has been incredible this week, taking care of my dog during the middle of the day. She sends me pictures and updates on how he's doing, which reassures me while I'm at work. Her dedication, communication, and reliability have been outstanding. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. She's been a lifesaver during this transition, and I couldn't be happier with the care she's provided.”

“This is the second time Irina has taken care of our cat and she did such an amazing job! She definitely loves our old kitty and did a really good job at cleaning up her accidents while giving her the love that she needs! She was great at communicating with me and we will definitely be booking again!”

“April was great and showed up reliably for the appointment and provided amazing updates about how my doggy did on her walk. I feel much more relaxed at work now knowing that my Betty is in good hands. Thank you, April!”

About: I have taken care of friends' and familys' dogs for over 10 years, and have always had a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels - from playful puppies who need structure and stimulation to senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive touch. I have trained my own dog to sit, stay, walk off leash, shake, and even to smile! I’ve cared for dogs with a range of needs, including medication administration, anxiety, and leash reactivity. I’m also an avid runner and love including high-energy dogs in my workouts (with your permission, of course!). Whether your pet needs active playtime or a calm, cozy environment, I adjust my approach to fit their unique needs. I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a stress-free experience, both for you and your pet :) I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs! I’m also a runner and love bringing high-energy pups along for safe, fun runs. Whether your pet prefers morning walks, evening strolls, or anything in between, I’m happy to make it work. Just let me know what your pet loves, and I’ll be there! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll follow their usual routine and am happy to accommodate any special needs, like anxiety, senior care, or training reinforcement. If they’re staying with me, they’ll get a true home away from home. My own dog is a rescue, and I’ve done everything to make him feel secure, loved, and supported, and I’ll treat your pup the same way. He’s super friendly and ranges from total couch potato to full-on zoomies. He also loves welcoming new buddies into our home. With my flexible grad school schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, activity, and a front-row seat to whatever show I’m currently binging - whatever they need most! When I’m in your home, I’ll treat your space and routines with care and respect. You’ll get regular updates and cute pics so you can relax knowing your pet’s in great hands!

“We couldn’t be happier with Bennie & Jennie’s care for our shy and overly-attached kitty, Keesha. We’ve only ever left her for one night and were now going away for five days, so we were worried about how she’d cope. But Jennie won her over from day one and we knew Keesha would be in great hands. Jennie was always communicating with us and giving great updates, photos and videos of Keesha. I will definitely be using Bennie and Jennie’s services the next time we go away!”

“Lexi was very nice to my pets. They loved getting her attention . I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she would be there for my pets. She sent great pictures of them. Lexi also cleaned up the dog litter in yard on the last day, very nice.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since early childhood — they’ve always been part of my family. My own dog lived with me for 16 years, and throughout my life I’ve cared for pets with love, patience, and attention to their needs. I’m calm, responsible, and truly love spending time with animals. I recently moved from Ukraine and now live in Irvine. I would be happy to care for your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I always make sure each dog gets individual attention and love. I'm available most days, including weekends. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep a close eye on the animals and make sure they feel calm, safe, and well cared for. I follow the owner's instructions, respect each pet's habits, and maintain open communication. From my own experience, I know that every animal has its own personality, so I act gently, with attention and care. My own dog lived to be 16 years old. In her final months, she lost the ability to walk, and I cared for her daily with patience and love. This experience taught me how to support senior dogs and those with special needs. I speak Ukrainian and Russian, and I use a translator to communicate in English.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have had my dog Peanut for 9 years now and two cats Cubby and Silver for 5. I also volunteer at the Irvine Animal Care Centre every week helping feed, clean, walk, and more! I am currently a student, I do my school online so my schedule is very flexible and I am willing to move things around to make sure things work. I have a dog and two cats at home with a backyard. I don’t let the dog out in the back unsupervised because we have a pool.

“Naomy did a wonderful job taking care of my pup!”

“It’s my first time using Rover for my cat Stanley and Rachel made it such a positive experience! I felt comfortable with her right away during our meet and greet. While we were away, she sent us photos/videos and a list of everything she took care of for Stanley. Overall, I had a peace of mind that Stanley was in good hands. I’m so glad that we found her and looking forward to book with her again next time!”

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!

About: Hello! My name is Genevieve and I’m a 24 year old medical assistant and animal shelter volunteer! 🐕 Long walks, quick potty breaks, or a mix—whatever fits your pup best 🎾 Regular play sessions—fetch, tug, or enrichment to burn energy and have fun 🛏️ Comfortable with crate training and sticking to your pet’s routine 🍲 Confident with fresh/raw feeding, supplements, and detailed meal prep 💊 Able to administer oral/topical meds, including for seniors 🐶 Experienced with reactive, energetic, and strong-pulling dogs 🧸 Patient with shy, anxious, or rescue pups needing extra TLC 🛁 Light grooming like brushing, ear cleaning, or wiping paws after walks 🐾 Puppy care: potty training, socializing, basic leash manners 🐕‍🦺 Senior dog care: gentle walks, joint support, and extra comfort 💪 Comfortable walking and handling large dogs (70+ lbs) 📷 I send regular photo/video updates to keep you in the loop 🧹 I keep things clean—litter, bowls, food areas, and messes 🧠 Can reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and come 🏡 Happy to water plants, bring in mail, and respect your space 📅 Flexible schedule for daytime care and drop-ins 💻 I study when I sit—just need Wi-Fi and a cozy spot! 🐾 Volunteer at a shelter—experienced with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments MY EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and officially started caring for my own in 2019. I have two corgis—Jarvis and Friday—who’ve taught me a lot about handling different personalities and needs. Jarvis is high-energy and always ready to go, so we do long walks, fetch, and tons of play until he’s finally ready for a nap (then repeat!). Friday is more low-key—she plays briefly but loves to cuddle all day, and I’m happy to give her both. She’s also dog- and people-reactive and has a nose for getting into trouble (counter-surfing, poop-eating—you name it), so I’m extra alert and used to staying ahead of chaos. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter for over a year, where I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny seniors to 70+ lb dogs full of pent-up energy. I’ve learned how to handle even the most intense or challenging pups with patience, structure, and care. Friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, observant, and truly love what I do. TL;DR : 🧑‍💼 Part-time work (2 days/week) 📚 Studying for the MCAT during my free time 🕘 Mornings and evenings usually available 🏡 Open for drop-ins and house sitting 😴 House sitting: I sleep at home but return daily 🪑 Wi-Fi + chair/table or couch/TV = I’m all set! 📅 Flexible on weekends and most weekdays I work part-time and study for the MCAT when I’m not working, so I have a flexible schedule for both drop-ins and house sitting. I don’t sleep over for house sitting, but I’ll reliably be there every morning and evening—and can hang out during the day if you’ve got Wi-Fi and a cozy spot to study. Your pets will get plenty of love, care, and company! TL;DR: 🐾 I stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and relaxed 🐶 Experienced with reactive dogs and keeping curious pups out of trouble 🚶‍♀️ Daily walks, potty breaks, and plenty of playtime 🥘 Comfortable with special diets, fresh food, and detailed feeding routines 🏠 I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and respected ❤️ Your pet will be safe, loved, and cared for like my own Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you're away. I’m very attentive—whether it’s managing reactivity on walks or keeping curious pets out of mischief. At home, my dogs follow a consistent schedule with morning and evening walks, hourly backyard potty breaks, and fetch every 1–2 hours. If your home doesn’t have a yard, I’m happy to provide more short walks as needed. I also feed my dogs fresh food with multiple supplements, so I’m confident handling complex feeding routines or special diets. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep your home tidy, secure, and respected while you’re gone.

About: I have had many of my own pets, both cats and dogs, so I understand how to care for them and their specific personalities. I currently have two cats that are extremely friendly and affectionate with both cats and dogs. I currently work from home and thus have tons of availability and time to care for your pets specific needs! This also allows me to provide them with the best care possible! I have multiple toys both automatic and manual so your pets will be entertained and happy while they stay with me! I have an entirely separate room to ensure your pet adjusts at their own pace and has their own space. I love going on walks, playing and cuddling with all pets. I will care for your pets as if they are my own while I have them! I also have multiple cat trees as well as a built in catio!

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience, walking and caring for dogs. I’ve pet sat 4 pound dogs, and even 50 pounds! I can watch multiple dogs at once if needed, or just your sweet furry baby if you prefer 1:1 attention. Grew up around dogs, I have watched 6 dogs in one sitting. I love them so much!! Cannot get enough! I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 attention. I can take them on as many or as little walks as you’d want. I personally go on walks every 2 hours or so. I have a park in my neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas. Have a patio if they just want air too! I give pets 110% of my attention. I work from home, so they will always have company. I am in a gated community, so it is very safe and pet friendly. Plenty of filtered water to go around! I am gentle and kind.
