“Deborah was the best person we could’ve found to take care of our dog Chelsea. She was very nice and caring towards her, al her experience fostering dogs really showed up. Normally Chelsea doesn’t open up to strangers but she was very happy and confident with Deborah. Everyday we received picture or video updates she looked like she was having the best time. I would 100% recommend Deborah if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your fur baby. ❤️”
“Ryan sends out lots of photos and video updates and he truly cared for our pup while we had to be away, and accepted our request last minute — very responsive, responsible host. Thank you!!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Wendi was an actual dream. She set up the meet and greet and was able to come through at the last minute when someone else bailed. She worked with my dogs unique personality, sent me lots of pictures and let me know what was going on with him. I felt like my dog was safe with her, and LOVED! Really I can’t be happier with the experience.”
“We had such a great experience! Kiryl took amazing care of our dog for the entire week and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!”
“Once again had an amazing experience with Bennie & Jennie. Received lots of photo and text updates so we knew how both of our cats were doing during our short weekend trip. Even with one of our cats taking a while to get comfortable being away from us, we knew they were both well taken care of during their stay.”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Kalvin was absolutely amazing with Dexter! He took care of him for a couple of days and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. He was super responsive, kept me updated with texts and pictures, and it was clear Dexter was happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful and would 100% trust him again. Highly recommend!”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“We have used Patricia several times and she always provides the best service! She treats our dog, Penelope, like her own and shares lots of updates (photos & videos). Penelope loves her time with Patty and her dog, which leaves us at ease when we travel.”

“Bennie & Jennie are sooo amazing! Once again, I rebooked them to watch over my cat because of a work trip. They made sure she was well cared for and even celebrated her first birthday with a (cat food) cake and candle 🥹. She's definitely getting more comfortable with their cats so I'm glad she had cat friends to celebrate her birthday. 10/10!”
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your furry family member! I am deeply passionate about pets and through Rover I am excited to open my home and heart to your dog. Nothing brightens my day more than the companionship of a happy pup. As a devoted dog owner myself, I truly adore providing the security, boundless affection, and dedicated attention that every pet deserves. I am committed to being as accommodating and flexible as possible to ensure your family receives the absolute best of care. I bring responsibility, open communication and a genuine love for animals. I will ensure your fur baby is treated like a member of my own family! I am flexible on the time of day or night for your pet's day care or overnight needs. I can also arrange for pick-up and drop-off of your pet. Your pet will feel at home here! I follow strict instructions and I am flexible to your pet's needs. I have a block fenced back yard and I also allow small dogs on furniture if you wish.
“Alyssa was amazing with my sweet grandpa kitty. Very responsive and sent many updates spending quality time with my 16 year old kitty. Will definitely be using here again!”
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!
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.
“We’re so grateful to Irina for taking such wonderful care of our two cats while we were away! From the start, she was kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She made sure our cats were well-fed, comfortable, and got the attention they needed. One of the things we appreciated most was that she sent us pictures and a little report after each visit — it gave us real peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties — and a tidy home too! We highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Super grateful Irene was able to watch my fur king - 2 year old Ragamuffin Tyler 😊 we discussed all essentials prior to my work related trip and she followed up with me, gave me updates and took thorough and thoughtful care of my cat! I would book with her again. You’re in good hands with Irene!”
“Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life. I grew up with a cat and had one of my own in my 20s. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely loving toward all animals, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“We are so grateful to Corey for taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Corey gave us detailed visit notes each day and pictures which helped us know they were taken care of and safe. She even took the time to let my scaredy-cats smell her and get acquainted. She is communicative and comes on time to the scheduled times. Thank you, Corey!”
“Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!”
About: I have 5cats at home and they are angels. The oldest one is 12yo and the youngest one is 3yo. They bring me so much joys and happiness. Me and my family we rescued from shelter and pet smart. I love them and now one of them have cancer and I want to make some money for my cat’s chemo treatment:(
About: I’ve been taking care of stray cats since I was in Korea and have been fostering/rescuing them since 20. I have adopted my two cats during covid since they had no where to go at that time. I have expert knowledge about cats. I can clip their nails, take a shower, give them medicine pills, and give them flea medicine on their back head.
“Ryan did an amazing job with my dog Koda! I could tell Koda had a great time on his walk and felt comfortable with Ryan right away. He was super responsive and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Ryan clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. He quickly understood and followed Koda’s walking routine and handled his occasional reactivity around other dogs with confidence and ease. I’ll definitely be booking Ryan again.”
About: I have two cats of my own - Carl (a 4 yr old orange cat) and Haru (3.5 year old tuxedo)! Aside from bringing copious amounts of happiness, adopting Carl and Haru has allowed me to gain exposure to various areas of cat care, ranging from basic care like playing, preparing foods, brushing teeth, trimming nails, and cleaning out the litter boxes, to administering medication when needed. I've also taken care of other acquaintances' multiple cats before, taking careful notice of specific feeding or other care instructions.

About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:)
“Deborah has been wonderful at taking care of Harry! She asked lots of questions and was super sweet and loving! I am very protective of him and don’t leave him with any one if I can help it! But as I had a grand baby on the way - I needed help and Deborah was amazing! We will see her again!”
“Ryan, Marianna, and Remy (their cute Labradoodle) did a fantastic job taking care of our Bernadoodle Lani, and agreed to do so on very short notice. We know Lani had a fun time with them because they sent multiple pictures and videos, which we greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Lots of play time and 2 walks, and Lani was a happy dog! We will certainly use them again the next time we need daycare for her.”
“My dog Kermit stayed with Mia and absolutely loved it. He had the best time and was cared for exceptionally :) Mia sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay and that really gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Mia!”
“Emuna had such a great time last week so I decided to booked one more time with Sonomi. She exceeded my expectation. Emuna got to play in the park, walk the neighborhood and have healthy snacks. Thank you, Sonomi.”
“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home dog mom to my 2.5-year-old golden retriever, Goose, who loves meeting new friends. I can offer your pet constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I’ve raised Goose since he was 12 weeks old, have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience, and grew up with cats. I can administer medications, follow detailed care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—I already spend my days walking, playing with, and caring for Goose. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, mid-day walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a quick cuddle, a mental-stimulating game, or an extra walk to burn energy, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. Dogs have access to a secure balcony for fresh air and are allowed on the bed for snuggles, but not on other furniture. We follow a no human-food policy to keep pets safe. I stick closely to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and confident in their surroundings. Goose is extremely friendly with other dogs and fascinated (but gentle) with cats; if needed, I can separate spaces to keep everyone relaxed.
“My two dogs had a wonderful time staying at Hanah and Dabin’s beautiful apartment. They were very accommodating and kind, especially since one of my dogs recently had surgery. Also, both of my dogs are needy and suffer from separation anxiety, so they can be a lot to handle. Hanah and Dabin were very communicative and kept me updated with photos, which put me at ease while I was away. I felt safe leaving my dogs with them. Thank you, Hanah and Dabin! I look forward to the next time.”
About: I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. Whether it’s giving medication, going on long walks, or offering calm companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m flexible throughout the week and prioritize pet needs—whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings. I make sure every pet gets attention, exercise, and comfort as part of my daily rhythm Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I follow any instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and always ensure they’re safe, hydrated, and happy. I understand how important trust is and treat every home with the same respect I’d want for mine.
“Rose was very shy at first but im so happy she warmed up to you! Thank you for your patience with her. She was very tired (which means happy to me lol) and wanted to run back when i picked her up! Thank you again!”
“Ning is very sweet and sends you multiple updates per day of your pup! She’s very caring and I can tell my dog had a great time staying with her! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Melanie was great! She was super communicative and easy to book with. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. I could tell my two dogs were well taken care of, they were very comfortable and happy! Will definitely book again!”
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.
“very sweet and welcoming. they were bilingual and very understanding regarding pick up time. we needed a last minute booking that same day and they provided quick responses and great pricing. would definitely recommend.”
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.

About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.
About: Hi all! My name is Charlotte and I just graduated from UCSD. I am born and raised in Newport Beach and have a love for dogs and walking around our beautiful home. I have had multiple dogs growing up and have loved taking care of friends dogs recently! I absolutely adore spending time with them and being outside in general. Let me know if you need any assistance, I'd be more than happy to help. I am available almost every week day for walking and available weekends for house sitting! Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to chat and discuss more specifics. I make sure they always have someone around them to hang out with and give them attention, whether that's walks or just keeping them company. I prioritize sticking to their routine and making sure they have plenty of time to go outside, do their business, and get their energy out!
About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.
About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.
About: I have experience pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors, friends, and family, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I have cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away :) I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets. Since I am available throughout all weekdays and weekends, I can accommodate a variety of schedules, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Every pet has unique needs and routines, so I will follow all care instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I will provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and supervised care. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos :)
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 !
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.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer.

About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:)
“Polina was amazing with Lola yesterday! It was pouring rain, and Lola absolutely hates going out when it’s wet, but Polina was so patient, kind, and understanding the whole time. She took the extra care to make sure Lola felt comfortable and never rushed her. I really appreciated her calm, gentle approach and the updates she shared. I’d definitely hire Polina again….highly recommend!”
“Amanda is amazing!!! She came in the pouring rain to walk my baby. She took the time to allow Maggie to warm up to her. My baby does not let anyone outside the family touch her, but somehow Amanda was able to pet her on the first day. Amanda is RELIABLE and responsible. She shown up on time. She’s responsive and trustworthy. You can tell that she loves dogs and is kindhearted. I’m so fortunate to have found her!!!”
“Irina was quick to respond to my request for service and she even came over to do a meet and greet before the first day. She sent me pictures and videos and even accommodated adding an extra time slot during my weekend trip!”
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.
“I have been hiring Julie as my dog walker. She quickly has become a best friend to my dog. She’s really easy to work with and communicate. I don’t know how she does it but she is capable of taking best picture for my dog! I am paying for the dog walking but getting nice pictures as a bonus!”

“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”

Thank you Allison and Moose!”
“Gracie was great from start to finish. She made sure our dogs got along prior to the boarding to eliminate any surprises. She updated us either their status periodically along with pictures. Will definitely use her again.”
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
