About: 🐾 Howdy Hey! Hi! I’m a UCI student, certified EMT, and cat mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your cat. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I know cats are not “low-maintenance” pets — they have routines, preferences, boundaries, and emotional needs just like dogs do. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, anxious, senior, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel safe, respected, and comfortable. 🐱 My Cat Care Philosophy I believe cats deserve enrichment, stimulation, and individualized attention — not just food, water, and a clean litter box. Cats deserve to live their best lives too, and I love creating a calm, engaging environment that supports their natural instincts. Depending on your cat’s personality and comfort level, care may include: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box maintenance • Playtime with wand toys, toy mice, tunnels, or your cat’s favorite toys • Treat puzzles or simple enrichment activities • Scratching opportunities • Cozy resting spots and calm companionship • Brushing, if your cat enjoys it • Medication support, if instructions are provided • Regular photo updates so you know how your cat is doing I also offer safe indoor bird-watching enrichment. I have a bird-feeding area outside where cats can enjoy “cat TV” from a secure indoor window view. Cats remain fully indoors and safe at all times — this is visual enrichment only, with no outdoor access or contact with wildlife. 🏡 Cat Boarding in My Home For boarding, I aim to create a calm, safe, home-based environment where your cat can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. I keep care intentionally limited so each pet gets focused attention and is not treated like just another booking. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not force cat-to-cat interactions. Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. I can provide a separated space with their own food, water, litter box, cozy resting area, toys, and enrichment. If your cat needs time to decompress, hide, observe, or slowly adjust, I completely respect that. I understand that some cats are social and curious, while others need quiet, patience, and personal space. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while you’re away. 🧼 Cleanliness & Safety I take cleanliness seriously, especially when caring for cats. Litter boxes, food areas, water bowls, surfaces, and shared items are cleaned regularly. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being. My EMT background has made me detail-oriented, calm, and observant, which helps me notice when something seems off and communicate clearly with owners. Before boarding or visits, I like to know about your cat’s: • Feeding schedule • Litter box habits • Medical needs or medications • Favorite toys and enrichment • Hiding spots or comfort items • Personality and handling preferences • Stress triggers • Behavior around other cats The more I know about your cat’s routine, the better I can care for them. 🌿 Outdoor / Catio Policy For safety, I do not provide outdoor roaming, balcony access, or unsupervised outdoor time. Boarding cats will remain indoors in a secure environment. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine if they have a fully enclosed, secure catio at home. Catio time must be discussed ahead of time and will only be provided if it is safe, enclosed, and owner-approved. 💬 Communication You can expect clear communication, thoughtful questions, and regular photo updates. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, enriched, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for trusting me with your cat. I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. As a UCI student and certified EMT, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day (or night). Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible while their owner is away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, bathroom or litter box maintenance, enrichment, and companionship tailored to each pet's personality and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. Before each booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. As a certified EMT, I'm attentive, calm under pressure, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I understand that dogs and cats thrive when their routines are respected, and I work to create a safe, positive, and low-stress experience while you're away. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Irene is fantastic. She was very patient with our large 95 lb dog, who is gentle but shy with new people. She formed a nice bond with her, and was extremely reliable and always communicated and verified the drop-ins, as they changed every week over our 10 week period. Irene takes great pictures and provides excellent reports. She does not hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern during her drop ins. We are looking forward to having Irene visit our girl again.

About: I’ve had two dogs while going to school! I got them both when they were babies and played, took care of them, and treated them well. I am working part-time remotely so I have a lot of time and flexibility to take care of your pets! I also have a car so I can go pretty much anywhere if needed. I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night !

Devenee was so wonderful and she was able to win my cat over very quickly despite my cat being super shy to new people. The photos she sent of my cat are some of my favorites of her now. I'll be rebooking with her for future travels as long as she is available to watch my cat.

I’m currently going to school full-time, so I’m free Mondays & Wednesdays before 11 AM and after 7 PM, Tuesdays & Thursdays before 1 PM and after 4 PM, and any time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Jennie and Bennie are now like family to us. Not only did they take amazing care of our four cats, but they were kind enough to put our trash and recyclables out and bring in our packages that were delivered. They always sent photo and video updates on each visit as well. Our cats are slow to trust, but Jennie and Bennie were incredible and our cats trusted them rather quickly and enjoyed eating when they visited. We highly recommend them! True professionals and animal lovers. Leo, King, Zara, and Hope love Jennie and Bennie!

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.

Yung is reliable and professional. She is quick to respond to messages which is very reassuring when it comes to our fur baby. I was able to book her to help us out last minute and she was very communicative about the details of her visits including lots of photos. She also has amazing independent judgment because I forgot to tell her not to leave toys out for our dog who likes to eat toys and she knew to put things back before she left. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!

About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!

Rachel is a professional, caring, trustworthy, attentive and uber-responsible pet sitter. She is also personable, calm, compassionate and reliable. She took excellent care of our cat, Remy, who is older and quite shy and nervous around strangers. Rachel followed all feeding and medication instructions and sent us photos, as well as videos. She didn't rush the visits, always showing up on time, and my husband and I sincerely appreciated her detailed updates and notes. If you want peace of mind when you can't be home with your pet then call Rachel. We can't write enough good things or recommend her enough. We certainly understand why she has earned the great reviews and has so many repeat and loyal clients.
