Nemo was so comfortable and I could tell she had a great time hanging out with other cats! At the end of Nemo's stay, Xiaoying gave us a cute photo of Nemo to remember her time here. So sweet!!! 🥹 I will most definitely rebook in the future and can't recommend Xiaoying enough!”

“Nikki has helped us multiple times now, and every single experience has been exceptional. She takes such loving, attentive care of our cat that he is genuinely happy and relaxed when we return. This time we were away for a full month, and it was obvious that he was truly adored and spoiled with fun and special treats 🐱💛 It gives us complete peace of mind knowing Nikki is with him. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly does this from the heart. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for truly excellent pet care. ✨”
“My fur babies loved Tracy so much 🥹 One of my cats is usually a little reserved when meeting new people but she warmed up to Tracy the very first time they met. Tracy has a very calm and welcoming presence, I think any shy cat would feel comfortable around her. I wasn’t worried when I was away because Tracy regularly updated me with photos and videos. Will definitely be booking her the next time I need someone to watch my cats.”

“Caroline was absolutely wonderful! She arrived on time, was completely reliable, and followed my detailed directions with care. She sent me plenty of photos and updates, always responded quickly to my texts, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she was so kind and attentive to my special-needs elderly cat, making sure he was comfortable and cared for, while also giving my younger ragdoll lots of love and attention. I truly appreciated her thoughtful care and hope she’ll be available to help us again in the future!”

Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.”

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

About: Hi there! I have had years of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. Personally, I have had 16 hamsters, 12 exotic fish, 7 turtles, 7 frogs, 5 Guinea pigs, 4 chicks, 4 cats and 1 bunny. I have pet-sat many animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, and I love animals with all my heart. I am very commasionate, hard worker and easy to communicate with. I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to your needs. I enjoy making animals apart of my daily routine! I have a cat that is strictly indoors with safety netting on the window. Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)
“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.
About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.

“Chris clearly cares so much about the safety and happiness of your dog AND carries a hefty amount of dog expertise. From his thorough questioning to understand my dog prior to him staying with Chris to the communication/updates throughout the stay, it was clear that Chris is someone who will go above and beyond. My dog clearly had so much fun staying with Chris and his two German shepherds, and we will absolutely be returning!”
“Robin is fantastic! She’s reliable, communicative, flexible and so very kind and compassionate! She took such great care of our fur baby. I highly recommend her! We will definitely be repeat clients :)”

Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding, patience, and genuine love to every walk. For the past two years, I’ve been professionally dog walking—and I can confidently say I’ve never loved a job more. Dogs aren’t just part of my work, they’re truly my passion. I have a special place in my heart for pit bull breeds and am a strong advocate for them, but my care and dedication extend to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs exercise, structure, or just a little extra love, I treat every dog as if they were my own—reliable, attentive, and always with their safety and happiness as my top priority. I currently own my own dog walking business but I am always looking for new fur friends to walk and spend time with! A tired dog is a happy dog! I am happy to walk, refresh water, feed if needed and get your dog out and moving to get any extra energy out! I'm very attentive to the dogs I walk making sure they stay safe in my care.
About: I have cared for many pets over the last 8+ years. I have been working at a local dog daycare for a year and a half. At the daycare, I work specifically with shy/senior dogs, and am passionate about making sure they get extra love. I love walking dogs, playing fetch with them, and especially cuddling with them. I am a grad student currently on summer break. I have an internship that I attend a couple of days a week, but am overall flexible schedule-wise. I have a fenced in yard with lots of grass/space for dogs to run around, play in the sprinklers (if they like water, of course), and lay in the sun. I love wrapping pups up in comfy blankets for bedtime.
About: I have helped care for pets for friends and families for several years, I enjoy doing it on my free time, I can come to play with them to get energy out, walk them outside for fresh air, or just relax with them in the house. Let me care for your fur baby while you are away! I have free time outside of work on Friday afternoons and weekends. I would like a few days notice but I am usually around on weekends to be available for pet care. No overnight stays. In my clients home I will work with whatever environment they prefer and follow the rules, let me know what makes your pet most comfortable and happy while I am there, happy to do it!
About: I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2011. I’ve been an rvt for 7 years and love what i do. I’ve been in an animal hospital for over 10 years I work full time with a toddler but looking to fill some days on the side to help a family take care of there pets I take care of them as if they are my own. Respect everyone how they should be treated with love and compassion. I am loyal I work full time in the veterinary field but need some extra pay to help pay for childcare have experience with all dogs and cats Since i have a dog that’s picky with other dogs i would prefer to sit in your home unless my dog was comfortable with it she has stayed before at my parents house with their dogs I have an open work schedule, therefore daily visits and weekend visits are what I offer! I can do overnight visits if necessary, if your animal requires someone to stay at night. I currently can’t take pets in my own home. I can stay overnight in your home if needed. This will include play time and giving them all the extra love while you are away! Walk, feed, sleep repeat .she loves walks and sniffing everything. She will pee multiple times as she is older and needs more frequent walks so less accidents happen I have a small patio and lots of yard space to walk my dog. She goes out plenty of times during the day and just loves being with someone or anybody who gives attention
“Laura took good care of our Coco while we were away for a week - walked and played with her, gave her food and medicine, also willing to get our mail and kept us up to date. Felt like our girl was in good hands!!”

“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with someone other than family, so we were naturally a little nervous. Lili was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She kept us updated with so many photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and the best care. We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust. We highly recommend Lili and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was the first time we left our puppies overbite. Ellie took wonderful care of Mimi just maybe even better than if she was home! I am very confident of Ellie's care for Mimi. Great communications as well! Thank you.”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“Highly recommend!!! My two boys were very well loved and taken care of during their stay with Sondra and Kirk. They have a nice spacious space for the dogs and are wonderful people themselves!”
“SaeWon was so kind and caring towards my sweet pup, Ava. I always get nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for boarding but SaeWon kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and videos of Ava while I was gone. She also sent me updates on her and it gave me lots of ease knowing my dog was taken care of. SaeWon’s sons also helpedcare for the dogs and I can tell the sons are wonderful with dogs!! I highly recommend SaeWon and her family’s services. Thank you for everything, SaeWon!”
“Wen was absolutely wonderful with our mini Bichon Frise, Tory, who stayed with her for four nights. She kept us updated every day with plenty of photos and responded promptly to all our questions. Tory came home happy and well cared for. We’re so glad to have found such a reliable sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Lee was absolutely wonderful!! Our pup had the best time, was so well taken care of and we got wonderful updates throughout our trip. We felt so lucky to have Lee watch Griffin and never had to worry about him. Would highly recommend Lee!! Thank you Lee for taking such great care of our pup!!”
“Emely was able to accommodate us last-minute and was quick to respond, provided multiple updates, and was so sweet with our dog. We know Penny had an absolute blast and already have plans to book Emely again!”
“Our dogs were so well taken care of by Claudia while we were away. She was great with giving daily updates and photos throughout their stay. Not only did she do their daily walks but she also brought them to the park for playtime and socialization. We will definitely keep Claudia in mind the next time we need quality care for our dogs.”
“Radhika was very attentive and in tune with my dog’s needs. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and is incredibly knowledgeable about behavior and care. She also sends lots of updates and pictures, so you never have to worry! Highly recommend.”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Pili was really great! From taking great care of our dogs, to being flexible with timing, to communicating and sending tons of pictures, everything was awesome. I would highly recommend Pili if you ever need someone to watch your pups!”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
“Gina kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. We looked forward to getting them everyday! She was flexible with pick up and drop off. Hazel has a great time and we will definitely be booking with Gina again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Temi was amazing! Our pup had a little vacation of his own while staying with her. She kept us totally in the loop with sweet updates, photos, and videos that made us smile and feel so at ease. It was clear he was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime—which made being away so much easier. We could tell he felt right at home with her. Can’t recommend Temi enough—she’s a total gem and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“2nd stay for the pup w/ Allison, and it was even better than the last! She sent consistent photos & updates - we were surprised (& happy) to hear that Zen also got along w/ her cat, Kenya! ☺️ Allison will definitely be a go-to sitter in the future!”
