“Awesome Family! Truly cared for our Nala and allowed her to have so much fun! Very personable and was very welcoming! Highly recommend her service! Nala definitely had so much fun and are so grateful!”
“Diymond and Dante kept us updated on our boy by sending pictures and just update texts to ease our hearts. I’m a bit of a helicopter dog mom but with their check-ins I had no room to worry. Thank you both for loving on our Sunny and treating him as one of your own. And a special thank you to Rizz and Henny (their dogs) for sharing your space lol!”
“Very nice and attentive. My 7 month old Leo was great around her 5 year old and other friendly pets. I’d highly recommend and would love to have him come over again!”
“Brittanie took wonderful care of our golden retriever. She and her family was a great fit for our fur baby, since they had a golden of their own. We enjoyed the daily updates that she provided us during our time away from Claire. Look forward to booking with her again.”
“Mikalyn and crew did a great job for us....they were warm and welcoming and our two girls seemed to enjoy their stay with them. This was almost a last minute booking and they went above and beyone to assist us. We will be using them again in the future when our needs arise for great sitters for our fur kids. Dominic and Ana”
“Jennifer took great care of our 6 month old pup. She sent pictures and videos while we were away. Communication was great. Our dog was nervous at first, but when we picked him up, it was clear he had a good time!”
“Jean (Charles) and his wife are absolutely amazing with Luna! She is always so excited to stay with them, and I peace of mind knowing she’s getting the absolute best care possible.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Having never left my "high maintenance" fur baby before, I was extremely anxious. We met Randi for a "meet & greet"; I definitely felt comfortable that my Gracie would be safe, & Randi would take care of her. On the day of my trip, I arrived @ Randi's with my baby, her bed, blanket, bones, her pre-cooked meals, bottled water, anxiety drops, bowls, her brush, and a 1.5 page history. Randi handled it like a pro! She sent me pictures & assured me Gracie was OK which really helped me not to worry so I could enjoy my trip. I feel much better about taking my next trip.”
“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I couldn’t ask for the most perfect person to watch my Roman. Rom is a lot to deal with sometimes and requires lots of patience and she was that and more. Bri would send lots of updates and pictures during our time away from Roman and which was much appreciated!! She was very easy to communicate with as she well.”
“Karen and family were truly wonderful to my little girl. Her warmth and kindness were immediately apparent. Our dogs got along great and she kept me updated with pictures and videos at least once each day. My girl quickly learned how to use the doggy door and avail herself of the spacious, fenced yard, which was a luxury that I know she thoroughly enjoyed. I would absolutely use Karen’s services again without hesitation and look forward to doing so.”

Our cats are scared of people and hide, but she tried to find them and take pictures for us every time she went, and gave us updates. Thanks Miriah!”

She loves animals and it shows! I will be sure to use Susan again the next time I need a pet sitter as my kitties were in good hands!”
“Peyton was so good with our cats. She was always on time, flexible and quick to respond on semi-short notice for pet sitting on the holiday weekend! She offered to come over ahead of the scheduled times so that she could meet me and the cats, which was super nice and it made me feel more comfortable!! She sent lots of photos and even scooped the litter box, fed our fish and brought out packages in while we were out. I highly recommend Peyton!!”

“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”
“Ashley was a great and reliable pet sitter for my 2 cats! It was my first trip away from them but she provided thorough updates everyday and made me feel confident that they were in good hands.”
“Sandra is a very good caretaker. She provided consistent updates for my cats over a ten day period and has been excellent in her follow up and communication. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Alex is the kind of person who goes above and beyond. We always hope he’s the one available when we’re out of town because our grumpy cat is so happy to see him! We trust Alex to drop in every day and he always sends us pics. It’s wonderful to have a person who gives us peace of mind about our pet while we’re away. Above and beyond, Alex saw we had some deliveries and brought them inside for us because it was raining! I mean, what a completely decent human. No hesitation, we’ll book again.”

“Susan was amazing with our dog. She constantly sent pictures and was consistent with providing us feedback. She made us feel great and no worries at all. Not everyone can keep up with husky energy! Susan was wonderful!”
“Ms. Vely rocks! This was Coco's first full Day with Ms. Vely, so when she took command right away I was glad for that since she was a fresh face for my Coco to get used to over a long period of time. She is so wonderful and kind with doggies, I had no doubt she'd get my boy out of his shell. She updated us with photos and short videos throughout her time with Coco to show our little man was doing just awesome..... And the tongue hanging out the side of his mouth with a big toothy grin showed that she sure did get him out of his shell! Coco was even a gentleman doggie and made sure to follow her inside after every jaunt outside! Glad to have found Ms. Vely and glad to have her watch him again! You cannot go wrong with Ms. Vely!”

“Deanna was incredibly helpful and took amazing care of our dog, Mabel. We had a visitor in town and wanted to do some day trip-type activities, so we dropped Mabel off for daycare with Deanna a few days throughout the week. Each day, our pup came home tired, but extremely happy. You could tell she enjoyed being with Deanna and her pups. Highly recommend her care!!!”

“Had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She was very responsive to messages. My fur kid is a rescue who had been abused - she can be a little skittish and nervous around new people, and in new environments. She seemed to take to Kayla immediately. I got a photo of her snuggling with her on the couch which made my day :) Have booked her for another daycare visit, and dog-sitting for a week long trip we are taking.”

About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates.” **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $25 (under 25 lbs), $35 (25-40 lbs) Nail grind: $15 (small-med dogs), $20 (large dogs) 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
About: I have had a dog since I was 5, she is currently 15. I care for her greatly and will do anything to keep her happy and healthy. I would do the same for anyone else's pet while their owner is away. I am available while I am home from college all the time. I am willing to take care of an animal to the best of my abilities any time of the day. I follow the instructions given by the owner very well so the change does not harm the animal. I have a fenced in backyard and one medium sized female dog. If boarding at my home, the dog(s) would need to be good with female dogs. I will ensure the dog is very well taken care of while in my care.
About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all.

I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, so I genuinely understand what it means to care for them as part of the family. My professional background further strengthens this passion: I've worked as a kennel technician, a vet assistant, and I'm currently a vet tech. Plus, I have experience pet sitting, so I'm comfortable stepping into that role. This means I'm not just a dog lover, but also skilled in understanding canine behavior, providing proper care, and recognizing any health needs. Your dog's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. Working in the vet industry as a vet tech allows me to spend 4-5 days a week surrounded by adorable dogs and cats. And when I’m at home, I take great care of my own fur babies too. It's clear that my love and passion for animals shines through in everything I do! Your pets' safety and well-being will always be my top priority. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, the focus is on maintaining their familiar routine and environment as much as possible. I'll come to your home for scheduled visits or overnight stays, making sure your dogs and cats stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. This minimizes stress for them. I also take care of other household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house looks lived-in for security. Again, my vet tech experience means I'm adept at spotting any health concerns, administering medications, and providing a high level of observant, compassionate care. In both scenarios, regular communication with you, including updates and photos, is a priority so you always know your furry family members are happy and well cared for.
About: Over the past four years, I've gained extensive experience in caring for dogs. I've successfully rescued and trained Harley and temporarily fostered Snoop until finding him a loving home. It's rare for me to only have one dog in my household, as I'm often looking after a friend's dog when I'm not caring for a Rover dog. Harley and I thoroughly enjoy making new friends, especially when they're furry and four-legged. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to welcome new furry friends into my life. I am excited to offer my services for pet sitting, whether it's for dogs or cats. Your pets will receive all the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect with you and ensure that your pets have a fantastic experience. Let’s create some wonderful moments together—we'll have a great time! I have a spacious, fenced-in back patio that offers an inviting environment for dogs to move around freely and engage in playful activities. This area is perfect for them to stretch their legs, chase after toys, or simply relax in the sun. Additionally, there's a large fenced yard located nearby (you can check out the picture in the gallery), along with plenty of open green spaces that are ideal for enjoyable walks and playtime. I understand that each dog has its own preferences, whether they enjoy leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or prefer to stay close to home. I am committed to following your instructions and ensuring that your dog's needs are met. Under my attentive supervision, your furry friend will have the freedom to be active, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. For overnight stays, your dog will be accommodated in my cozy second bedroom, which is thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable daybed, a play mat, soft blankets, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained (picture in gallery) If you need any additional items or specific arrangements to make your pup feel at home, please don't hesitate to ask—I have various supplies available to ensure a delightful stay for your furry companion.

About: Owning a variety of pets myself, I am capable of caring for a number of different pets! If left a list of instructions, I am not close-minded to new experiences. I currently have 1 dog, a hedgehog, and recently had one bearded dragon, and have had other pets in the past. I am extremely responsible, and will be available for daily walks, drop-ins, and overnights at the owner's. I am also comfortable teaching basic leash training with positive reinforcement. My other job occupies 8 hours of my day; however, I keep an excellent line of communication and can adjust to accommodate my clients. I am flexible with my services and payments (I accept cash, Venmo, or Apple Pay). Please connect for further questions! With my services, your fur-babies will be treated as family members to ensure their maximum comfort! It would be an honor to connect with you and get to love on your pets! I work in Costa Mesa Monday- Friday in the early mornings until 1pm. After work I am free to care for your pets! A typical afternoon for my dog includes a long walk around town, a nature park, and the beach. We have play time in the dog park where we burn out zoomies and work on obedience and performance skills. By night time my boys are ready for cuddles and their bedtime snack. Though this is my routine, I am very flexible and eager to adapt to the best routine for your pets while under my care! ◡̈ At the moment, I do NOT accept paw-cations (when a pup sleeps over in my home) because my dog is going through obedience/ reaction training. In no way will I risk the safety/ comfort of another family's pet during my services. During drop-ins and overnight stays, your pets will be loved as if they were my own! My personal fur-babies are treated as my "children"; this is behavior is a guarantee while I tend to others' pets as well. My intent is to replicate (as closely as possible) the owner's behavior, so that minimum stress is brought upon pets!
About: Grew up with dogs (dachshunds, German Shepard, mutts) . Have 3 grand dogs (Quinn & Archie, Jack Russells, Maggie tree hound), who I love spending time with back in Massachusetts. Unfortunately we recently lost Quinn due to age and illness. I know he is waiting at the Rainbow bridge for us along with Sasha, Truffles, Harry, Solo, Skippy, Maestra, Toi, Chichi, Heathcliff and the other birds, turtle, goldfish that I loved in the past. I miss being with them and would love to spend time with dogs again. For past 24 years have been mother to several cats who are my furry children. I understand that dogs are not just our pets, but family members that you love like children. I am also available for cat sitting, including feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning litter boxes.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, including training my own four dogs in potty training and basic obedience. Working from home half of the month allows me to provide constant care and attention. My patience and genuine love for animals ensure they receive the utmost care and companionship while under my watch. Whether it's puppies needing training or seniors requiring extra care, I'm equipped to handle various needs with dedication and expertise. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's woven into the fabric of my day because I adore my four furry friends. Every morning starts with wagging tails and wet noses, as I feed them, take them for walks, and shower them with cuddles. Throughout the day, there are endless games of fetch, belly rubs, and treats to keep their tails wagging and their hearts happy. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. As a hybrid employee balancing work and pet care, I dedicate 40 hours a week to my job, but my furry friends are always a priority. Fortunately, I'm home every weekend and spend two full weeks each month at home, providing ample time for attentive care and companionship. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, your pets will receive the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. For boarding, your pet will become a part of our family, enjoying cozy accommodations, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. During dog walks, your furry friend will explore the neighborhood, stretch their legs, and receive personalized care tailored to their needs. With in-home check-ins, your pet will receive visits filled with playtime, feeding, and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

“Awesome Family! Truly cared for our Nala and allowed her to have so much fun! Very personable and was very welcoming! Highly recommend her service! Nala definitely had so much fun and are so grateful!”
“Diymond and Dante kept us updated on our boy by sending pictures and just update texts to ease our hearts. I’m a bit of a helicopter dog mom but with their check-ins I had no room to worry. Thank you both for loving on our Sunny and treating him as one of your own. And a special thank you to Rizz and Henny (their dogs) for sharing your space lol!”
“Very nice and attentive. My 7 month old Leo was great around her 5 year old and other friendly pets. I’d highly recommend and would love to have him come over again!”
“Brittanie took wonderful care of our golden retriever. She and her family was a great fit for our fur baby, since they had a golden of their own. We enjoyed the daily updates that she provided us during our time away from Claire. Look forward to booking with her again.”
“Mikalyn and crew did a great job for us....they were warm and welcoming and our two girls seemed to enjoy their stay with them. This was almost a last minute booking and they went above and beyone to assist us. We will be using them again in the future when our needs arise for great sitters for our fur kids. Dominic and Ana”
“Jennifer took great care of our 6 month old pup. She sent pictures and videos while we were away. Communication was great. Our dog was nervous at first, but when we picked him up, it was clear he had a good time!”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Having never left my "high maintenance" fur baby before, I was extremely anxious. We met Randi for a "meet & greet"; I definitely felt comfortable that my Gracie would be safe, & Randi would take care of her. On the day of my trip, I arrived @ Randi's with my baby, her bed, blanket, bones, her pre-cooked meals, bottled water, anxiety drops, bowls, her brush, and a 1.5 page history. Randi handled it like a pro! She sent me pictures & assured me Gracie was OK which really helped me not to worry so I could enjoy my trip. I feel much better about taking my next trip.”
“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Karen and family were truly wonderful to my little girl. Her warmth and kindness were immediately apparent. Our dogs got along great and she kept me updated with pictures and videos at least once each day. My girl quickly learned how to use the doggy door and avail herself of the spacious, fenced yard, which was a luxury that I know she thoroughly enjoyed. I would absolutely use Karen’s services again without hesitation and look forward to doing so.”
“Deanna is amazing. I hope she is.available whenever I need to board Ricky. She welcomed him into her home and he was one of the family during his stay. I appreciated the pictures and daily updates while I was away and had a good feeling knowing he was well taken care of and in good hands. I appreciated Deanna's patience with me and my schedule and I know Ricky enjoyed her large yard and the companionship of her dog Nekko.”
“Always an incredible experience with Matt and Nicole, very communicative, lots of pictures and updates. So thankful to have found them, we will always use them for our girls.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“Angie was delightful to work with. She responded quickly, communicated well, and was very comfortable with our 10 pound poodle and her quirks. Price was very fair. She is definitely our go-to person in the future.”
“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”
