I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Cienya took care of Maemae for a long weekend, and as a bonus, gave her a new best friend. Mae and Cienyas little dog played all weekend. Cienya was thoughtful and conscientious in her care of Maemae even in the midst of miscommunication she put maemaes care at the forefront.”

“Robert and Maria were wonderful! We felt so comfortable as soon as we met them and our dog had great fun and was extremely well cared for. We received pictures, texts and videos while she was in their care. Would definitely use them again!!”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“Steph is the absolute best. She takes fabulous care of our husky, Mika, and gives us total peace-of-mind while we are away. Lot of walks, activities and attention. Mika feels right at home with her. A+++.”
“Claudia did a wonderful job with my dog Rosa. Rosa is very important to me. I got picture updates every day and know Rosa was being well cared for. Rosa is a high energy dog and loves to run and go for walks. Rosa was so happy to see me when I picked her up. She had such a great time. You can tell Claudia has a way with dogs and feel very comfortable leaving your dog with her. I highly recommend Claudia and will continue to use her whenever I need a dog sitter. Rosa also loved Wally.”
“Leslie cared for our pup for a week and it went great! We were super happy with her and our dog really liked her as well. We recommend Leslie and would definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
“We have had our pup stay with Daniela and her family twice now and couldn’t be happier with the level of care and love she shows him! We love getting the daily updates and photos of the activities they do together and always feel so secure that he is in good hands. She really goes above and beyond and our pup is like our baby to us so it means a lot to know he is loved while we are away. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!”
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I'll follow your care instructions closely and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a goofy one-year-old cocker spaniel named Gus and take him for daily walks, play fetch, and give him lots of treats. I work full time but work from home on Tuesdays and am able to fit pet care into my work schedule. My weekends are usually free for dog time. We have a fenced in patio that dogs love to explore and bask in the sunlight on the couch. My dog, Gus, is friendly and enjoys playing with others.
“Amisha was reliable, friendly, and my kitty LOVED her! She followed all of my instructions carefully and precisely, and had no problem giving medication. Thank you, Amisha, for allowing me to be relaxed while I was away because I knew Sophie was in such good hands.”
About: We don’t currently have any pet because of renting. However we both grew up with dogs and have had plenty of experience dog sitting our friends’ and family’s doodles. The most rewarding moments come from seeing their genuine smiles after a good exercise or meal! We work from home so we spend week day 9-5 at home office, with regular breaks outdoors which allow us to board and or walk your dogs. We prefer caring for pets in our home. We like to pet proof the home to be void of potential toxins or physical danger. We live a very routined lifestyle so will find it very easy to fit your dog’s routine into our life style.
“Emelia took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away. She came by to feed them, but also took the initiative to bring a brush and a toy so that she could engage with them. In the pictures she sent, they appeared very comfortable and happy. She was successful at getting even my most distrustful kitty to play with the feather-on-a-string, When I returned home, the kitties looked content and everything in the kitty room was super clean. I highly recommend her and hope that I can use her services again in the future.”
About: Animals tend to be very fond of me. I enjoy playing with active pets and I always take their comfort level seriously. I also am extremely tidy and do my best to keep things as they were when I arrived. I work three days a week, eight hours, Monday through Wednesday until 2pm. Besides that my schedule is pretty flexible. I can always bounce around too Something I never forget to do is keep everything locked and for the most part the animal will not be out of my sight unless I have to work, which will be communicated prior to the visit.
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I also work with horses. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, extra scratches, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve.
“Jessica was so sweet and loving and took such great care of my 5 year-old cat. She was a great communicator while we were on vacation, and we feel lucky to have found her. Thank you, Jessica!”
“We are so thrilled to have found Kari. She was the absolute perfect person to care for our kitty who was recovering from post-surgery complications. We were nervous to leave Simba after everything that happened to him recently, but Kari assuaged all of our fears. Kari took such great care of him, following his annoyingly strict medicine and food schedule. She watched for any litterbox issues. She stayed in constant contact with us and sent so many photos showing us how happy Simba was to have her there. Kari also left our house in immaculate condition and brought in packages. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing sitter and can't wait for her to care for Simba in the future! Thank you, Kari!”
“We had Jennifer pop in to watch our cat every day for 2 weeks. She was so sweet with Foo and took great care of him. Was so nice knowing our cat was in great hands while we were on vacation. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Cheryl was great watching our needy/attention loving cat over the weekend! You can tell she really cares about each and every animal she looks after, and will do everything to make sure your pet is taken care of while you're away. She gave great updates and the cutest pictures! I am usually a nervous wreck when we have to leave our cat, but I was able to relax this time because we trusted in Cheryl's quality of care so much!”
About: My whole life I’ve always had at least one cat in my household. At the moment, I have a 16 year old tortoiseshell (pictured in profile) who I love and adore :) I’ve dealt with almost everything a typical cat-owner would go through such as cleaning litter boxes, dealing with UTI infections, administering medication, and of course can’t forget about the zoomies.
About: I‘ve grown up with cats my whole life. I‘ve had cats that are aloof and independent, I’ve had cats that love all of the attention, and I’ve had the in between cats too. I’m happy to take care of your cat as if they were my own.
“Eileen was amazing!! She cared for our kitten (1.5 years) everyday for a week over the holidays. He had never been left alone for this long before so we were a little nervous to leave him. He is usually shy around strangers but he warmed right up to her; she gave him so much love & attention, and sent us daily updates with photos & videos to show us how well he was doing. Will definitely re-book with a Eileen in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Doreen was warm and welcoming when we arrived. She kept us update with many pictures of our precious boy so we knew he was having fun. We were a little early and Doreen accommodated us! We will definitely use her again when we are back in the area.”
“Diana and Emily watched our dogs, Yoshi and Stitch, for an all-day doggy daycare while we went to the zoo. Diana and Emily were flexible, communicative, and our dogs had a great time.

About: I have two well behaved, social, friendly dogs named Finn and Nika whom I adopted six years ago. I have always had dogs and cats making my house a home! They bring such fun times and without them, life wouldn't be so wonderful! I've had several different breeds as part of my family including a Collie mix, a German Shepherd Akita mix, Pointers, Maltese mixes, Shepherd mixes and an Airedale. I love cats as well. I've had an orange tabby, a Siamese mix, some domestic short and long hairs, and one lucky black cat. I never imagined how much fun and happiness would be added to our home by getting Finn and Nika. Every waking hours is elevated with their endless enthusiasm. Sure it's a lot of work but it's worth it for the amount of unconditional love I get in return. I love to share their fun outgoing personalities with everyone we meet. I get such pleasure seeing what joy they bring to others! They come along with me everywhere. They love to meet new people and play with dogs of any size or breed. Please feel free to contact me and let's see if I'm a good fit for you and your best friend(s). I am home full time seven days a week and spend hours playing, caring, going on adventures and loving my dogs until the sun goes down. I offer drop-in house visits at your home that will include feeding your dog, taking him/her out to to pee/poop, 1 hour of fun play time interaction and then some wind down cuddle time. We can also go on a walk if that is what your dog wants to do but I find that play time is way more fun of an activity than walking.
About: Hi my name is Rachel and my family has owned dogs since I was 3 years old. I am living in Dana Point and I have a 15 year old Aussie mix named Nya. She is the most gentle, submissive pup who gets along with every dog. I am not currently working so my week days and weekends are very free. I graduated with an animal science degree and I have been pet sitting for my neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have been apart of 4-H and FFA throughout middle school and high school. I absolutely love all kinds of dogs and I have been comfortable with any situation I’ve been in involving dogs. In high school I worked at a Veternarian Hospital. Your dog/dogs will be in good hands if you decide to hire me! I am not currently working, so my week days and weekends are very free. I am home most of the day and go on walks multiple times a day. I always make sure Nya gets a daily walk and lots of love and cuddles. I make sure my home is a safe space for your dog and I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front patio.
“Eric & Allison treated our pup Kaiya so well! They were able to accommodate us on short notice & we received a bunch of updates, which was much appreciated. Was cute seeing Moose be a gentleman showing Kaiya the neighborhood on their walk & bringing her out to our car for pick up🥹😂 Highly recommend & looking forward to the next time they can watch our girl!”
“Mariia is a great sitter! She was well attentive to my dog Coco’s needs and sent me pics of my dog during her stay. I felt very comfortable with Mariia taking care of Coco because I can see she takes good care of her dogs and other dogs as well. Looking forward to rebook another stay for my dog.”
About: My family loves having animals in our home, I have always owned a dog. My beloved childhood dog Teddy that lived to be 18 years old.. now I have a six year old seventy five pound sheepadoodle who is a big loving ball of fluff. We often watch family animals when they need help. I am also an avid walker and walk my dog 4 miles a day so your dog would definitely get adequate exercise. We have always been a dog loving family and love having them in our home. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home the majority of the day. Your pet will get all of the love and attention. I go for a four mile walk every morning with my dog and 1.5 year old, so I would take your dog too unless otherwise specified. I have full availability unless we are out of town. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I go for multiple walks a day and have no problem walking two dogs. If your dog needs a crate I can crate them as well as long as you bring their belongings. With that said your dog must be good with other dogs as well as small children, it is a non negotiable. I have 1.5 and 4 year old kids which means you must know for sure that your dog is comfortable around small children.

About: For 18+ years, I have cared for dogs--not only the family dogs (rescues included), but for others who have needed help with walking or overnight stays. I am retired, so my time is very flexible. I can easily flex my schedule as needed. I have great experience walking dogs in Laguna Beach. I give each dog the personal attention they need as I can easily fit care in throughout my week. I am happy to walk your dog in the Laguna Beach neighborhood. I have a nice area in my yard for dogs that is fenced in where I can throw balls or frisbees or a toy of choice, if you prefer for me to watch them at my house during the walk or playtime.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.

“Kelsey is a one of a kind dog-sitter. From the start, her communication was consistent and friendly. My dog, Birdy, took an immediate liking to her and I felt totally relaxed as Kelsey’s care for her was as if Birdy was her own. Throughout their time together, Kelsey updated me with videos and pictures and took extra care in assuring my home was safely locked up and secure before she left. Kelsey went above and beyond and I will be thrilled to use her expertise again soon. Thank you!!!”

I moved to Dana Point last year and am building my clientele here now. I can’t wait to meet your doggo! I am an elementary school teacher, so I am gone 7/8 hours during the week. I make sure that your dog gets a walk before I leave, and all the care and exercise after work. During the summer, I am free all day! My roommate has a dog, and he has become my best friend. I let him out often, as my roommate is gone at work all day. It so important to me to give dogs exercise, proper water and food, and socialize them with other dogs. It is also important to me to leave the house cleaner than I found it when I do dogsit. My aunt often jokes that when I dogsit, it’s like a maid came as well!
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I’m currently in nursing school. I’ve had dogs my whole life, ranging in all sizes (15 lbs-80 lbs). While I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve also been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for neighbors, family friends, etc. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and will always treat your animals like they were my own. I adore my own dogs and they are my whole life. I understand leaving your animals in the care of someone else can be scary and can cause anxiety for both humans and pets so I am always upfront and communicate to keep you updated. I would love to be able to take one stressor off your plate by taking good care of your animals! I’m currently in school for nursing and I do have some full days, but I am always flexible to work around my schedule. I know it in advance as well and can be upfront to see if it would be a good fit. I’m comfortable just stopping in, staying at your place, truly whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Im very used to having a lot on my plate and having a schedule so I can always make one work. I am not able to board animals but I can stay at your house, do multiple drop ins throughout the day, etc. I’m flexible! I will always update you when I get there and when I’m leaving so you know the care your animal is getting!
About: Hi my name is Rachel and my family has owned dogs since I was 3 years old. I am living in Dana Point and I have a 15 year old Aussie mix named Nya. She is the most gentle, submissive pup who gets along with every dog. I am not currently working so my week days and weekends are very free. I graduated with an animal science degree and I have been pet sitting for my neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have been apart of 4-H and FFA throughout middle school and high school. I absolutely love all kinds of dogs and I have been comfortable with any situation I’ve been in involving dogs. In high school I worked at a Veternarian Hospital. Your dog/dogs will be in good hands if you decide to hire me! I am not currently working, so my week days and weekends are very free. I am home most of the day and go on walks multiple times a day. I always make sure Nya gets a daily walk and lots of love and cuddles. I make sure my home is a safe space for your dog and I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front patio.

“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Kelly was professional and communicative the entirety of our dogs stay. He stayed with Kelly for three weeks and she provided regular updates with photos and took our dog for regular runs! Thankful for her support and providing a safe place for our dog to stay. Will absolutely be using Kelly’s services again!”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“Robert and Maria were wonderful! We felt so comfortable as soon as we met them and our dog had great fun and was extremely well cared for. We received pictures, texts and videos while she was in their care. Would definitely use them again!!”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“Steph is the absolute best. She takes fabulous care of our husky, Mika, and gives us total peace-of-mind while we are away. Lot of walks, activities and attention. Mika feels right at home with her. A+++.”
“Claudia did a wonderful job with my dog Rosa. Rosa is very important to me. I got picture updates every day and know Rosa was being well cared for. Rosa is a high energy dog and loves to run and go for walks. Rosa was so happy to see me when I picked her up. She had such a great time. You can tell Claudia has a way with dogs and feel very comfortable leaving your dog with her. I highly recommend Claudia and will continue to use her whenever I need a dog sitter. Rosa also loved Wally.”
“Leslie cared for our pup for a week and it went great! We were super happy with her and our dog really liked her as well. We recommend Leslie and would definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
“We have had our pup stay with Daniela and her family twice now and couldn’t be happier with the level of care and love she shows him! We love getting the daily updates and photos of the activities they do together and always feel so secure that he is in good hands. She really goes above and beyond and our pup is like our baby to us so it means a lot to know he is loved while we are away. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!”
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”
“Eric and Alli and crew are great. Moose is the sweetest dog and our fur baby seemed to fit right in with the pack. I rarely leave my baby with anyone so really appreciated all the photos and videos of the weekend walks and adventures. Thank you, Alli and Eric!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“I absolutely loved having my dog stay with Jenn and Ian! They were very communicative and quick to respond with any of my questions or concerns. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone I know.”
“Anne is the best sitter ever! She was so caring with snowflake, my dog literally loves her and her dogs can trust her with my closed eyes, and I’m so glad I found her!! She’s clearly passionate by dogs.”
About: 🏡 Dog Boarding on a 2-acre farm 🤎 Where tails wag & hearts stay happy 📍 OC (located on Ortega Hwy ⛰️) 🚕 Pick Up & Drop Off complimentary south OC! Please Note: I’m located off the San Juan Capistrano Ortega Hwy Mountain residing at a farm at the top. My second address is listed in San Clemente as most my life consists in so cal it makes it easier to cater to this area as most all my clients prefer a pick up/drop off method thru their home to save them from the long drive! I’m happy to meet you at the listed address, your home, base of mountain, as well as at my residence at the farm on the mountain :) Hi there!! I am excited to extend my services to Rover! I am new to this platform as I am expanding my clientele! I will be creating a cute boutique homey play yard. I work from home and enjoy the company of having to care for your animals alongside my farm animals :) Dogs have a fenced in yard separate from my farm but still can have fun site seeing farm animals! I have an Rv business alongside dog boarding and manage my time according to your animals needs! As I am home most days I have days where I do run out to deliver an Rv or watch my kids sports but am always around to treat your pets as if they are my own! I provide a safe space for all dogs! I have a fenced in farm! I do have a separate fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run and play that is for dogs only that does connect to the house so they have access to an inside area as they please. I have XXL boarding crate homes that I do have them sleep in at night with their own beds and blankeys as well as feed them in there so they have their own space to safely eat away from other dogs. I will treat them as my own and adjust per dog as needed for their comfort and happiness!
“Rad is great! She sent lots of updates and took great care of our dog. I could tell our lab was very happy and well taken care of. Huge plus she’s also a trainer because she’s very knowledgeable about different aspects of dog care.”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 year old lab with Priscilla and she was great! She provided lots of pictures, videos, and updates. You could tell our dog was well cared for and having a great time! Highly recommend Priscilla!”
