This was our first time boarding our kitty with a sitter and we had the best experience with Xiaoying. From the beginning and until we picked up our kitty, communication with Xiaoying was fantastic. She was very prompt in answering all my questions and really put me at ease. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates and photos, which made us feel confident that our kitty was in great hands. Xiaoying also took time and care to introduce our kitty to her own beautiful cats. I want to point out that a definite plus for me was that Xiaoying’s home is immaculate and my kitty had her own room. It was obvious that Xiaoying genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make our kitty feel comfortable and at home. She was very attentive to our kitty’s needs including her water intake, bathroom habits and her diet. At one point, my kiddos were afraid our kitty wouldn’t want to come home, that she was too comfortable at Xiaoying’s. When we picked her up, our kitty was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!

Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.

Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.

We booked Marta for a 15-day stay while we were away, and we really appreciated how well she cared for Milo. When our flight was delayed, she was super flexible and had no problem extending his stay by an extra day, which was such a relief. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. She also shared helpful tips to keep our dog healthy. Overall, we’re grateful to have had her look after our pup and keep him happy and safe while we were gone!

About: I’ve raised, trained & cared for dogs for over 30 years. My friends say any dog who stays with us has hit the jackpot. My husband & I both work from home, are mega dog lovers and shower all our guest pets with love and attention. We always provide daily "pupdates" and photos so our pet parents know their fur babies are being well cared for and loved in their absence. There’s nothing like peace of mind when you have to be away from your four-legged family members. My husband and I currently work from home and will shower your fur baby with love and attention. They will be well cared in our home. Availability most days with enough notice. We have a fully fenced patio great for potty breaks, basking in the sun, or resting in the shade. Pets are always accompanied when outside for safety. Inside is always a comfortable 72 degrees. We have a 2-story home with hard-wood floors, but area rugs in most rooms make it nice and cozy for pups. We are a calm and quiet household who prefers dogs with matching energy, but we still like to play and run several times a day, followed by well-deserved naps. I’m happy to preserve your fur baby’s routine when they are in my care. I can also administer medication if needed. ** for the safety of all the pets in my care, your pet must be well-mannered, potty trained, up to date on all vaccinations, flee/tick free, and in no way contagious.

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. 🥰

Messaging Muskaan and family was the best decision I’ve ever made on Rover. My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter than would watch our two girls AND help take them to our wedding. Without hesitation, Muskaan and her family responded with excitement. They even offered to attend our wedding rehearsal. My two girls have terrible separation anxiety but I always felt that they were in the best hands. They were even treated to amazing homemade dogfood during their stay. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

About: I’ve had cats and kittens since childhood and honestly can’t remember a time when cats were not part of my family. Currently, I have two 5-year-old rescue cats, Piper and Gimli, who are very much part of my daily life. At home, we have a cat wheel that Piper enthusiastically uses several times a day, as well as a stroller the cats jump into when they want to be pushed around the house. I usually take them from room to room, talking to them and describing where we are. They enjoy having individual turns, and Gimli especially likes curling up in the stroller for naps. He also loves “Cat TV” and will sit on the ottoman staring toward the television until I turn it on for him. Both cats are very attached and tend to follow me everywhere — supervising me in the kitchen, “helping” at my desk, curling up on my lap while I relax, and sleeping on my bed each night. They are strictly indoor cats. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs. Previous cats required hydration injections, which I administered myself, along with pills and liquid medications when needed. I trim Piper’s nails regularly, although Gimli is much stronger and more sensitive about handling. He prefers affection on his own terms and enjoys relaxing high up in the cat tree, while Piper is more independent overall. I frequently care for my son’s cats as well. His family previously had two senior cats who lived to age 17 and required ongoing medication, including insulin injections for diabetes. They now have two energetic young kittens, which requires careful supervision because the family also has a Husky who is not yet trustworthy around small animals. Managing boundaries and keeping the kittens safe has become an important part of their daily routine. I also care for my former neighbor’s cat whenever she travels. Although shy with most people, she has become very comfortable with me and greets me enthusiastically when I arrive. I typically visit her two or three times a day so she has companionship, playtime, and attention in addition to basic care. In addition, I’ve cared for a friend’s cats while she was away, and her remaining cat still happily greets me whenever I visit. Animals have always seemed to trust and respond well to me. It’s very rare for one to act aggressively toward me, and I genuinely enjoy earning their comfort and confidence.

Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.

About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.

About: I’ve raised, trained & cared for dogs for over 30 years. My friends say any dog who stays with us has hit the jackpot. My husband & I both work from home, are mega dog lovers and shower all our guest pets with love and attention. We always provide daily "pupdates" and photos so our pet parents know their fur babies are being well cared for and loved in their absence. There’s nothing like peace of mind when you have to be away from your four-legged family members. My husband and I currently work from home and will shower your fur baby with love and attention. They will be well cared in our home. Availability most days with enough notice. We have a fully fenced patio great for potty breaks, basking in the sun, or resting in the shade. Pets are always accompanied when outside for safety. Inside is always a comfortable 72 degrees. We have a 2-story home with hard-wood floors, but area rugs in most rooms make it nice and cozy for pups. We are a calm and quiet household who prefers dogs with matching energy, but we still like to play and run several times a day, followed by well-deserved naps. I’m happy to preserve your fur baby’s routine when they are in my care. I can also administer medication if needed. ** for the safety of all the pets in my care, your pet must be well-mannered, potty trained, up to date on all vaccinations, flee/tick free, and in no way contagious.

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!

I took a "test drive" with Mark, leaving my dogs with him for a day. He was a great match for my 2 older dogs. He knew how to match their energy and had a very calm presence when they first met him. My pups will usually bark at people when they first met them but not at Mark. They were fine with him for a full day. He took them for a walk and they were fine for him. My "party pup" wanted more pets from Mark before we left. I definitely recommend Mark for a calm & comfortable person & place of care.

Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!

Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.

About: As an animal lover since a small age, I’ve always been the go-to neighbor and friend to care for other’s beloved pets while they’re away. It’s a bright spot in my day to share some time with furry family members. I love cats, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. We have two cats, Bartleby and Butterscotch, both rescues. I understand cats can be timid with new people and need time to feel safe to reveal themselves. I feel I’m good at communicating my intentions and seem to gain their trust quickly through finding just the right way to speak and pet them. Dogs are wonderful companions. I always hate to travel and leave our 5 year old Frenchie named Brutus behind. I had the honor of training him since he was 10 weeks old. Brutus came along right as our senior rescue dog Bill was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and needed daily medication to help treat it and eventually wearing diapers around the clock. Bill was a Yorkie-poodle mix with skin allergies and needed daily medication. I got to experience the senior dog that was slowing down and needing more care while training a high energy puppy. So I’m fully able and ready to care for dogs at any stage of their lives. I’m great at meeting them we’re they’re at and gaining their trust. I’d be more than happy to help care for your cats and dogs! I’m working part time and have time in the mornings, and after 2pm until late into the night for any help you may need. I am happy to take your dog on walks and play with them, as well as feed and spend time with any cats you may have in your home.

My pooch is a "hard walker", he pulls & and at times he has reactivity issues towards other dogs, but Jay seems to know how to handle him. They definitely have a connection! Jay also has an easy going personality & he's been trust worthy regarding the schedule. Super happy to have discovered Jay as Brady's dog walker!🐾😊

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over many years, including birds, cats, dogs, fish and others. I’m also the go-to caregiver for my son’s animals whenever needed. Friends know me as a dedicated animal lover and often reach out for help or advice in different pet and wildlife situations. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals in need and have rescued and cared for crows, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and other wildlife over the years. I'm semi-retired and do volunteer work on Mondays. The rest of the week is fairly open so I can be flexible with your requirements. Typically, I stop by in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening depending on your preference. I believe pet care should involve more than simply feeding and leaving. I take time to make cats feel comfortable, cared for, and less lonely while their owners are away. During visits, I greet and talk to the cat, refresh water with clean bowls, provide meals according to instructions, and spend quality time doing whatever the cat enjoys most — whether that’s playing, brushing, petting, or simply sitting quietly nearby. I also check and clean the litter box as needed. Visits are typically about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the cat’s personality and level of interaction. Some cats enjoy active attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. At times, I’ll sit and read quietly so they feel relaxed and accompanied. For evening visits, I can turn on small lights (or follow any specific household instructions) and turn them off during morning visits. Before leaving, I tidy up toys, make sure feeding areas are clean, return everything to its original place, and ensure the home is secure and locked. I also like to send occasional photos or updates so owners can see that their pets are safe, happy, and doing well.

About: Hi! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 I've spent over six years working professionally with animals in both veterinary hospitals and pet care facilities, so caring for pets isn't just something I enjoy, it's what I've built my career around. I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital and Wagly Pet Campus, where I gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. My background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, pet safety, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive interactions are, and I always treat every pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. In 2023, I lost my beloved cat to heart disease. He was my best friend, and losing him reminded me just how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. While nothing could ever replace him, caring for other animals has been incredibly healing for me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and being able to give them affection, exercise, and companionship is one of the most rewarding parts of my day. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always treat your dog like family, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's personality and energy level. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or just wants a caring companion while you're away, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a work-from-home mom and I schedule walks during the quiet parts of my day. I enjoy walking and being outside, and it’s so much better with a furry friend. I don’t plan to board any animals at this time in my home. This may change in the future, but not as of right now.

About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.

Seriously, she was an absolute lifesaver for our furry friend. We got so many adorable updates and photos, it really put our minds at ease. Knowing our dog was having such a good time made our trip so much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway. You won't regret choosing her services!

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!

I always worry about leaving my now 4-yr old shih tzu who is temperamental and has separation anxiety in another’s care. Saewon and her family accepted my Oslo with no hesitation. They sent me text updates, pix and videos that re-assured me my boy was in good hands. Gamsahamnida (thank you) Saewon and Ian for welcoming and taking good care of Oslo! ‘Til next time!

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. 🥰

We and our dog Cheeto absolutely love Lili. She made Cheeto feel at home while we were on vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay that made us feel at ease knowing he was safe and loved. We can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. After we got home, we mentioned that Cheeto was missing her, and she offered to see him again. We dropped him off for a couple of hours, and she even sent him home with a toy to make him happy. It was such a sweet gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again!

Another great stay with Mirna! Our 6 month old puppy was well taken care of and happy. He has tons of energy so I know it was a lot of work to keep him engaged. Mirna also accommodated our late evening arrival on a weekday!

Gina was exceptional in her care for our sweet pup while we were away. She went above and beyond to make what could be a stressful situation extremely comfortable. Kingsley came back energized, rested, and very happy. We appreciated the consistent updates and photos along with detailed notes post pickup! All I can say is Wow! Thank you!! I hope that we can book another stay very soon! Your furry loved one will be in good hands and in a safe, clean environment with kind folks and their sweet pup!! Thank you again, Gina!! -Kingsley and fam ?

Zadie and Luna loved Andrea and Ben! We did a meet and greet beforehand, so when it came to drop off day for boarding, the girls were very excited when we showed up at their house. When I picked them up, I don’t think they wanted to leave! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10 would book again.

Ellie recently cared for our two dogs while we were away for several days. From the moment we dropped them off, it was evident that Ellie takes her job as a caregiver very seriously. She has a nice set up for both dogs, with beds, crates, and a fenced outdoor area for play. She adhered to the general schedule we provided, and offered a balanced diet, exercise and walk routines, lots of cuddles, and a comfortable area for them to rest. This is the first time we've ever had our dogs come home more well behaved than when we left. Ellie clearly loves the dogs in her care; she's warm, patient, and genuinely affectionate. She goes out of her way to create a positive and nurturing environment, and even offered some great suggestions for later, when she noticed Max didn't really care for his food. We also received multiple daily updates, both photo and video, and loved seeing what they were up to throughout the day. It was very reassuring. Our younger dog is anxious and not well socialized; she had a rough upbringing before she came to us and we've never boarded her because we didn't know if she would be comfortable. She did so well, and we feel like we can travel occasionally again, knowing that our dogs will be safe, happy, and well cared for with Ellie and her family.

Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.

Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!

Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.

Shelley was nothing but professional and very accommodating to our schedule and pup's special requests such as doing a meet and greet, and updating us on how our pup was doing during the whole stay with texts, photos, and videos. Our trip had several last-minute changes and without any hesitation, she was flexible with us and we could go on our trip without any worries. I highly recommend Shelley and her two dogs to anyone looking for a dog sitter/boarding!!
