Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!

This is our second time having Irina take care of our cat and both my cat and we love her so much! She not only followed our instructions feeding my cat and playing with him but she also cleaned up his food bowl and left our kitchen clean. Will definitely have her come again.

She was so thorough, thoughtful, and considerate of everything I asked. I was left with so many pictures, accommodation and care when it came to my two girls. I definitely would rebook with her based off of this experience and it gave me such a peace of mind being away from my cats for so long. seriously appreciated!!

This is our second time booking with Bennie and Jennie and we are again 100% satisfied! Lots of pictures and videos and very detailed summary report of all of our kitties and their behavior. Jennie is very flexible and able to adapt to different instructions in case things need to be changed during our absence. We even got 3 polaroids of our kitties at the end of the catsitting! I highly recommend Bennie and Jennie for all your catsitting needs :)

About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!

Irene is fantastic. Very professional, communicates extremely well, and is great with our dog. Our pup is in a shy phase, and Irene has been extremely patient with her as they get to know each other. She knows how to properly establish a relationship with dogs. She always sends detailed reports, and makes sure our dog is comfortable and has her food and water taken care of. Looking forward to continuing on with Irene.

Julie is the best!! I booked with a few other sitters before and I can confidently say that Julie is by far the most reliable and caring one. My dog was happy and tired when we came home - Julie took him on multiple walks and his favorite park. His breakfast and dinner schedules were perfectly on time and I appreciated the many photo updates I received throughout the day. Will definitely book with Julie again!

About: I grew up with many pets and regularly walk my own dogs. I have also had experience taking care of a dog with no bladder control, constant urinary tract infections, and the need to be manually expressed. I am very comfortable taking care of both big and small dogs. I not only have experience with dogs but have also housesitted for a household with five cats. I’m currently attending University of California, Irvine while also working in a research lab, so I’m used to balancing a structured schedule and staying organized. I’m also very active as a member of the triathlon team at UCI, which means I already spend a lot of time outdoors and love going on morning and evening walks or runs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and quality attention into my day feels very natural for me. While walking your dog, I will carry water and a small bowl and ensure your pet's comfort. For housesitting, I can easily take instructions and provide a safe environment for your pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of my family cats and dog since I was 10 years old. We had 5cats and 2 doodles (one golden doodle one sheepdog doodle). I love them! I love playing with them and make them feel happy. I’m currently in summer and I’m really free!! I would like to adjust my daily schedule based on the pet’s need. I do not have any other plans like traveling, so it will be the perfect time to take care of pets. I have a house with fenced yard with pool. We have enough treats for pets also can provide a peaceful and joyful environment for the pets.

Uc Irvine, irvine, CA, 92697

About: I have decades of hands-on experience in caring for dogs and cats, including fostering pets for a local animal shelter in the San Francisco Bay Area. In March 2026, I relocated to Irvine for a job with UC Irvine. I have worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including seniors, puppies, and pets that require extra patience or structure. Additionally, I am certified in Pet CPR, so safety and preparedness are always my top priorities. I particularly enjoy caring for large dogs, such as German Shepherds and Rottweilers, and I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I work full time at UC Irvine, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I moved to Orange County in March 2026 and am still getting settled in Irvine, so I spend most of my time close to home when I’m not working. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have time during the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company. I’ve always loved animals, and since I don’t have a big social circle here yet, I genuinely have the time and attention to give. My home in Long Beach is very small, so it is not a good fit for boarding pets. I am happy to stay in your home instead, where your animals can remain in their own familiar space and routine. Tuesday through Friday, I am usually at UC Irvine during regular business hours. Depending on your comfort level and your dog’s training, I may be able to bring your dog with me. I can also return during the day for walks, feeding, check-ins, medication, or just to spend time with your pet. I want pet owners to feel fully comfortable with whatever arrangement we make. I will follow your instructions closely and respect your home, your pet’s routine, and your comfort level.

Lauren is truly the best! She cared for my babies for almost two years and was always so attentive, sending photos and updates that meant so much to me. Bailey and Miyagi absolutely adored her. I’m so sad that I’m moving away. It honestly made me cry because Lauren became like family to my babies. This feels like the hardest goodbye. I’m even nervous about finding someone new because she was just that amazing. Thank you for EVERYTHING Lauren! I hope we cross paths someday! Book with her! She’s absolutely the best in town!

This is the second time Elicia has taken care of our 17 year old, and I hope she never retires! She is someone I can trust completely; we were on a cruise so we didn't have service a lot of the time and knowing she was in charge back home made it so much easier to relax and enjoy myself, because I didn't have to worry!
