“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Really appreciate Tina being able to watch our dog on short notice. Provided lots of updates and pictures and ensure our dog got all the walks she needed. Tina was very observant and kept close eye on our dog's bathroom frequency, which we much appreciated as our dog can be hesitant to go when traveling and in new places. Tina was very professional and also very prompt with all communications, both during booking and during the stay.”
“Best dog sitter ever!!! I truly mean it. Cie really loves pets. We consider ourselves very picky when is about our pets, especially since they are all rescues. Let me tell you something: Cie can have our fur babies closed eyes any time!!! She has been saving us, we explain we were going throug something and she has been the nicest person EVER, she always makes sure you have updates on your pets, she sends photos all the time, she is always keeping and eye on any question you have or you want to see your baby, and if that would not be enough, she goes the extra mile: she spoil your babies a lot, she washes the toys every day, she brushes their hair (we have a cocker spaniel iykyk) and they have a lot of treats. I can't imagine leaving my babies with anyone else. So glad we found her. I can recommend Cie with my life.”
“We just boarded our Bengal cat with Bennie and Jennie for the 3rd time and they always take such great care of her! Their cats Kuma, Koya, and Kevin are the sweetest and so friendly to our super sassy girl. We love all the photos and videos they send us while we’re on vacation and love that we can relax when we’re away because we know she’s in great hands. Thank you Bennie & Jennie!!”
“Leaving our 8 month old frenchie with Doug was so helpful. It was comforting to receive some photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book with Doug again!”
“Wen is the best! Bernie stayed with her overnight and she sent us a ton of photos and updates throughout the weekend. She is always so thoughtful and takes wonderful care of our Bern.”
“Junping watched our 14 year old Boston Terrier for three days and she was amazing! She sent many pictures and videos and made sure he was walked plenty. I can say that we have found our new “go to” dog sitter for when we leave town. Thank you very much!!”
“Katie continues to be the best dog sitter for our Tilly Girl. She’s always so caring in understanding Tilly’s routine, sends the cutest photos as updates, and make sure Tilly is as comfortable as possible while we’re gone. I can’t recommend Katie enough.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“Excellent Host to our babies. We received regular photos and updates and we felt totally at ease know that our girls were very well taken care of. The entire family was so caring to our girls that we genuinely think that our girls are missing their host family. Our immense gratitude goes out to Mika and her entire family for hosting with such love and care.”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Rommel is wonderful. Our dog had a good time boarding at his place. He sent me daily video updates of our dog. Everything went smoothly. Because of him taking such a good care of our dog, we got to spend the long weekend enjoying our time.”
“Kiril and Volha did an amazing job with boarding our Husky! We were away on vacation for about 2.5 weeks and they took very good care of our dog. They were very attentive to his needs and they checked in with us on occasion to make sure we knew everything was going well. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to board their dog and we will be a repeat customer in the future!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Thank you Ms. Afra for taking care of our dog with your care! She updated us with many pictures and details how our dog was doing! We are so grateful for your host! Thank you so much!”
“Kun is wonderful! It is always scary leaving your furry family members behind when traveling. It's hard to know who to trust. Kun took such good care of our fur babies, kept us updated with messages and video, and was such a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough ❤️”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“We left our two cats with Xiaoying for almost three weeks over the Christmas break, and it truly felt like a mini-vacation for them as well. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a wonderful time at her place — they barely wanted to leave when it was time to go home! Their coats were soft and silky, a clear sign they were relaxed, happy, and very well cared for. As always, Xiaoying sent us daily updates and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re certain our cats will be looking forward to their next stay with her!”
“Kaylee and her husband Dylan took amazing care of my dog for a week while I was out of town, and was extremely accommodating of a last minute booking. She took note of little details and sent frequent updates. My dog Biscotti clearly warmed to them very quickly, and she got lots of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles during her stay. Couldn’t recommend Kaylee more. Thanks very much Kaylee and Dylan!”

“Super friendly! Punctual. Minky loved Lisa being around so much that he complained why she isn’t visiting anymore after we returned from vacation. Thank you lisa for taking such a good care of our kitty!! Highly recommend.”
“Regi was super attentive to my fur babies and always communicated with me! She has true passion and love for pets and cares for them like her own. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Greta perfectly executed on requested tasks, and always provided pics. IN ADDITION, she went above and beyond with two random apartment issues — ants and misadressed mail. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her in the future.”
“We left Oelun in charge of our kitties while we were out of town for a week and she did a stellar job! Great communication, friendly and easygoing, punctual, responsible and organized. And I got the sense that our cats were happy with the service, too. Thanks Oelun!”
“I needed someone to play with my super energetic cat (Skooma) while I have to be away. Skooma loves her and follows her around during her visits. My old, grouchy cat (Bidoof) usually hides when people come in but she seems to stay visible when Victoria is around which is an amazing thing for Bidoof. We love Victoria! She is super nice and accommodating, even when I needed to add a last minute day to her visiting schedule. 💖”
About: As a cat lover, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. For the past two years, I've cared for my friends' cats during vacations and busy schedules, making sure they were well fed, had fresh water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention at their own pace. Whether a cat enjoys playing with toys, receiving gentle pets, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I respect their individual preferences and always prioritize their comfort. I understand how important it is to know your cat is in caring hands while you're away. I'll provide dependable drop-in visits, follow your care instructions carefully, and send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your feline friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“We can't recommend Zi enough! She took wonderful care of Jinx for 10 days, following all our feeding and care instructions perfectly. Her detailed logs of Jinx's meals and litter box (with photo proof!) were so reassuring. Plus, we adored all the pictures she sent of Jinx playing when she decided to show herself! It's such a relief knowing Jinx is in such good hands with Zi when we're away.”
“Kayla is a very delightful young lady. She took very good care of my babies. I would highly recommend her to anybody. She was efficient on time and just the total delight. She was a total package. She knew her stuff and she was very professional highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Corey has taken care of our two cats multiple times, and we have already booked her again! We were gone for a long trip and Corey provided detailed notes and many pictures each check-in, and was communicative throughout the booking. She went above and beyond, brought her own cat toy and even cleaned up the cats litter area when they made a mess. My cats are very shy but by the first few days of the booking they felt comfortable with Corey. Thank you Corey!!”
“Cie did an amazing job with our two cats and chinchilla. She even bought a toothbrush to give our chinchilla scratches, which he absolutely loved! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on with the animals in the house. I can highly recommend her to take amazing care of any pet.”
“Alvina is truly the best there is and cares for our boy like her own. We trust her with him no questions asked. She’s taken extra special care of our sweet Todd through health scares & makes sure we’re updated on how he’s doing. We cannot thank Alvina enough!”
“Kiryl, Thank you so much for caring for my pal Pearl, sending photos, feeding and sitting with her. Gave me such peace and calm knowing you showed up as scheduled. I felt so much comfort knowing you are in the complex too.”
“She did such a great job with our two dogs. The home visit went well and the dogs were very happy when we got home after her first visit. Looking forward to her next drop in!”
About: Purrs, cuddles & chaos welcome! I had my soul cat for 20 years before he passed in March of 2026. These days I’m owned by two kittens who keep me on my toes-so I know both ends of the spectrum: the deep, steady bond of an old cat and the chaos of raising babies who think 3am is playtime. Whatever stage your cat is in, I’ve probably lived it. Every visit, I tailor playtime to your cat’s actual personality (not every cat wants a laser pointer chase). I’m also incredibly detailed. You’ll get thorough updates after every visit, so you always know exactly how your cat is doing, down to whether they ate, used the litter box, or just wanted to sit on my lap and judge me.

Afra was also very thorough with sending lots of photo updates and quickly replying to any message I sent. Thank you for being the best dog sitter!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and caring for them comes naturally to us. We especially enjoy looking after small and medium-sized companion breeds such as Toy Poodles, Maltipoos, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. Every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and a calm, clean environment. We follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized so each dog receives personalized care and a relaxed home environment. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Fresh water is always available, feeding instructions are carefully followed, and I can administer medications if needed. I send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
“Repeat customer here. I came back to Junping because she really cares for pets like it’s her own. She’s very caring and now my dog gets excited when he knows he’s going to see her. Her kids are also very loving and caring towards JB. Makes him feel like he’s at home!”
“Echo and Rita are the kindest and most conscientious pet sitters I have ever had. Their dedication goes far beyond what you can imagine. Their devotion toward my Maltese left me with feeling that I could entrust a newborn baby with them. They were, honestly, that good. Your precious pet is in capable & loving hands with Echo. Thank you sooooo much!”

About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and companionship. I am very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I work remotely, which allows me to be home most of the day and easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. This means I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to closely monitor pets and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide calm, attentive care.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a very important part of my life. Spending time with dogs, playing with them, preparing their food and water, and paying attention to their daily routines comes naturally to me because I truly love and understand them. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs extra patience, I will treat them with kindness, attention, and love just like they are my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will do my best to give both you and your dog a stress-free and reassuring experience. Pets are like family to me — they are like my babies. I always try to follow their normal routine and take the best care of them so they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I pay attention to what they need and let them be themselves while giving them lots of love, patience, and care. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I always care for pets according to the owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and care. I take my responsibilities seriously and always do my best to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while they are in my care.
“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”

About: 7 years of hands-on daily dog care with my own dog, plus regular pet sitting for neighbors and friends: feedings, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Between classes, I’ve got a flexible schedule that works great for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I know how much routine matters to dogs, so I keep things consistent and send you photo/video updates every visit. Hi there! I’m Addyson a college student and dog mom of 7 years. Along the way I’ve become the go-to sitter for my neighbors and friends, covering everything from quick walks to full weeks of vacation coverage. Being a student keeps me flexible and full of energy, and honestly, dogs are my favorite study break. I light up around them and I treat every dog I watch like my own. I split my time between Frisco, TX and Orange County, CA, so I’m able to offer care in both spots. Whichever coast your pup is on, expect photo updates, a consistent routine, and a whole lot of love. Can’t wait to meet your dog — let’s set up a Meet & Greet! 🐶 When I’m caring for your pet in your home, your space and your pet’s safety are my top priorities. I stick to your exact routine, feeding times, walks, favorite toys, all of it, so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always double-check gates, doors, and locks before letting your dog out and make sure your home is just as secure when I leave as it was when I arrived. I keep things low-key and private while I’m there, no visitors, no broadcasting that your house is empty, and I send photo and video updates throughout every visit so you always know how things are going. If anything ever comes up, I make sure I have your vet’s info on hand and respond quickly. Whether I’m in Frisco or Orange County, you get the same level of care and attention in every home I step into.
“i could not be happier with greta's care for my pup. not only did i reach out to her last minute, to which she responded so graciously, she was so kind, warm, conscientious, and communicative. i received a steady stream of photos, videos, and updates while i was away, she left notes when necessary, and even made sure to check that i arrived home safely in time for my pet's next walk. i wasn't able to meet greta in advance (my fault, not hers!) but she took my instructions in stride and did such a wonderful job. i will 1000% request her services the next time i travel, and i highly recommend her skills to anyone who needs a caretaker for their pet.”
“Elena was able to quickly respond to our request to walk our dog and help walk our dog the next day. She provided great communication and professionalism. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home. My approach is observant, patient, and detail-oriented, especially for shy, senior, or medically managed pets! During each visit, I make sure your pet is comfortable, their space stays clean, and their normal routine is respected. I’m attentive to subtle behavior changes, potty/litter box habits, appetite, and overall demeanor, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. I provide thorough rover updates with photos, notes on eating, litter box use, and mood, so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is well cared for. I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet!

Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else. I am able to tailor my service according to the needs of you and your pet. Your Privacy: I understand the need for privacy and care when it comes to your home. I have no issue with remaining in designated areas or with cameras around common spaces. I will accommodate your comfort.
About: I grew up in a house of Akitas and a Shih Tzu — four pounds of opinion and eighty pounds of stubborn under one roof. I’m also the friend people hand the leash to: the Frenchie who overheats, the Corgi with short legs and long ambitions, the Husky and the Aussie who need a walk that actually burns something. Twenty years around dogs has taught me the ones people call “difficult” are usually just misunderstood. I know how to read the buildup before a reaction and create space instead of yanking. I’m comfortable with medication schedules too — that’s just part of a routine. Your dog gets someone who’s calm when things get loud, and you get honest updates about how it actually went. tl;dr Paws what you’re doing —and hire me :) Dogs are already part of my daily routine, so adding yours doesn’t mean rearranging anything. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible, which puts me right where most owners need someone — early mornings before the day starts, and midday, when your dog has been alone for hours and is doing that thing by the door. Those are my hours, they’re consistent, and I’m not squeezing you into a gap and hoping it holds. Book me for a regular slot and it becomes part of the rhythm for both of us. Same time, same reliability, every week. I work in your home only, and I leave it exactly as I found it. Walks follow the routine you’ve already set — your gear, your rules, your route, and I want to hear about triggers up front if your dog is reactive. Drop-ins mean potty, fresh water, food or meds on schedule, and real time on the floor with them. Every visit ends with locks checked and a message telling you honestly how it went, photo included.
“Summer was amazing! Summer, walked my dog for an hour each day over the course of a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention provided. Summer was communicative, and treated my dog with genuine kindness. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!
“Sonomi has been walking my dog while I’ve been out of town, and she’s been a gem. He’s my furbaby, a BIG furbaby, and I’m so grateful that he’s in great hands. Thank you Sonomi!”
“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.
“Cie is an absolute gem!! Not only does my dog Lucy love her, but so does my super skittish cat Cooper. Cie has gone above and beyond making friends with Cooper and giving him some extra love every time she takes Lucy for a walk! She's great with dogs and cats!! She has even checked on him when I'm gone for the weekend making sure he's fed and comfy and giving him lots of attention.”
About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was a kid, especially cats. I grew up with my grandmother’s cat and learned early on how to be patient and attentive to their needs. I’ve also been around dogs through family members, including breeds like Huskies, so I understand different energy levels and personalities. More recently, I cared for my neighbor’s Ragdoll cat for a full summer, making sure they were well fed, engaged, and comfortable every day. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. *I would love to share photos and messages to keep the owners updated if required Currently I’m working part-time, so I’ll be available most of the time at both day and night times over the weekdays and weekends. Pets’ safety is always my priority. I live in a gated apartment that has two dog parks. There are also plenty of dog waste bag stations and trash cans around the apartment. I’m a very active person and go to the gym four times a week for strength training. I also love hiking and walking, so I genuinely enjoy taking dogs out for walks.
About: While I am new to pet sitting professionally, I have many years of experience caring for my own pets, including senior animals with special needs. I am comfortable administering pills and subcutaneous (sub-Q) fluids when directed by the owner or veterinarian. I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that pets need, and I will care for your furry family member as if they were my own. As a part-time employee, I have flexible morning and early afternoon availability to give your pet the care, exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I'll treat your furry family member like my own. For added reassurance, I currently hold a full Irvine Police Department clearance. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I prioritize safety by following all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I ensure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship during each visit. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates secure, and provide reliable communication and updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.
About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

About: Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and caring for them comes naturally to us. We especially enjoy looking after small and medium-sized companion breeds such as Toy Poodles, Maltipoos, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. Every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and a calm, clean environment. We follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized so each dog receives personalized care and a relaxed home environment. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Fresh water is always available, feeding instructions are carefully followed, and I can administer medications if needed. I send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Really appreciate Tina being able to watch our dog on short notice. Provided lots of updates and pictures and ensure our dog got all the walks she needed. Tina was very observant and kept close eye on our dog's bathroom frequency, which we much appreciated as our dog can be hesitant to go when traveling and in new places. Tina was very professional and also very prompt with all communications, both during booking and during the stay.”

Can’t recommend Temi enough—she’s a total gem and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“We had to change our trip plans last minute due to COVID and David went above and beyond helping us to rebook our trip and get refunded for the lost days. I know my dog was totally pampered while she was with David. My dog looked so happy in the daily photos we received. Also my dog tends to get nervous and will lick herself raw. When we dropped Lucy off she had one spot, because she could tell the trip was coming. When we picked her up the spot was completely healed and there were no new spots!! This means I know they we giving her lots of extra love and attention while we were gone. I would 100% recommend David and his family.”
