Pet Sitters in Laguna Beach, CA

Delaney

Delaney did a wonderful job watching our pups over the weekend. Dogs were happy and the house was tidy when we returned. We would definitely book with her again!

shannon

Shannon was a great caretaker for our animals and home. She was communicative and self sufficient. We are happy to recommend her!

Susan

Susan took care of my pets and house like they were her own and provided regular updates on how my cats were doing.

Anthony

Anthony has looked after our dog and cat a few times now and we have nothing but amazing things to say about the care he give to our fur babies when we are away! As our dog is on daily medication, Anthony had to administer this to him and was very confident at doing that. We highly recommend Anthony for anyone in need of a loving and responsible housesitter and look forward to having him back in the future!

Gregg

Gregg was the best. He took great care of my house as well as my baby Lola. My bed was freshly made which was very comforting after a long trip I would definitely recommend Gregg to anyone who would like a stress free trip. He sent me pictures of my baby which I found to be relaxing. Thank you Gregg

Nicholas

Overall, Hea did a sufficient job caring for our cat and home. Kitty seemed healthy and content, and the house was in good condition. However, this experience helped us refine our preferences for future sits. Hea shares a profile with Nicholas, but it appears she is the one handling the sits. Despite our inquiries, the details of their shared profile and arrangement remained unclear. In terms of organization, she had some mix-ups with dates and arrival times during pre-visit communication that required clarification, which she attributed to managing multiple sits and tracking many details. Although we provided the welcome guide in advance at her request, she still asked us to write down instructions for the cat’s medications and asked questions covered in the guide, later mentioning that she hadn’t yet reviewed it upon arrival. For reliability, Hea honored her travel commitments, but communication about the cat was inconsistent. Updates were irregular, sometimes necessitating us initiating them, and were fairly general (e.g., "doing well, ate well, spending time outside"). While she had assured us she was familiar with sending regular updates, in hindsight, we should have been more specific about our expectations. She also experienced an issue with her phone charger, which required her to switch to another phone and may have contributed to the lapses in communication. Regarding self-sufficiency, Hea requested to arrive the night before, which is common for some sits, and needed assistance with travel logistics. Per her request, we provided rides to and from the train station, helped with how to purchase a ticket, and assisted with her luggage. Despite volunteering for a sit far from her home, she expressed concerns about the cost and logistical challenges of public transportation, which we tried to accommodate by offering additional assistance, including a trip to the grocery store. On the plus side, Hea left our home in good condition—counters were clean, the trash was taken out, and the dishwasher was run. She was respectful of our space and kept everything tidy. For pet care, Kitty appeared happy and healthy upon our return, and Hea mentioned spending a lot of time at home, which likely helped our cat feel less lonely. She explained that she preferred to defer to the cat's wishes rather than initiate interaction, despite our guidance to engage more directly with her. Overall, Hea took good care of our home and cat, and we were satisfied with the sit. For future homeowners, we recommend being clear about your expectations for communication, updates, and any assistance with travel arrangements or transportation.

KAMARI

Kamari is the Best!! If you are looking for an amazing sitter, look no further. She is kind, caring, professional and an absolute sweetheart. She took great care of our little Linus. Kept us updated and left our house in excellent condition. She got along great with our neighbors who all loved her. You are lucky to have her as a sitter - we will definitely ask her to sit for us again :)

Shelly

Shelly truly became an integral part of my family during her time sitting for us. My dogs grew to love her, and after our return, my son grew to love her too. She was on schedule with the dogs’ care, plants all still alive, turtles doing well. House was clean and tidy inside. We would welcome her back anytime for another sit in the future. Very grateful to have found Shelly. We had complete peace of mind with her taking care of our fur babies and home! She is an absolute gem… you won’t find better!

Natasha

Natasha s'est très bien occupée de mes animaux ! Elle m'envoyait des photos régulièrement. La communication était facile et régulière. Tout s'est très bien passé ! Je la recommande sans problème ! 👍 Natasha took very good care of my animals! She sent me photos regularly. Communication was easy and regular. Everything went very well! I recommend it without problem!

Janessa

Rocky is a formerly feral cat and as I suspected, he was cautious and would not let Janessa near him. He didn’t run out of the house (he has a cat door) as he did with a prior sitter, but stayed in the same room with Janessa. He trusted her and stayed in the house most of the time during the sit. The last prior sit he stayed outside the whole time. Janessa was quick to respond to any questions we had and she needed very little further assistance from us during the sit. We were able to enjoy our honeymoon thanks to Janessa’s handling of Rocky. Janessa washed linens she used and left the house clean and in order.

Natalie

Natalie was great! She came over early to meet Hester and see me in person. Hester took to her immediately! I left town comfortable that all would be well. I returned to a well kept house and a happy pup. I would love to have Natalie sit again

Lillian

Lilian is a gem! It’s her second visit at my house and she’s awesome. I would highly recommend her!

Alexis

We had a great time taking care of Wienston and Bean! They are the cutest dogs and really well trained. 
Alexis and his family made everything super easy for us, keeping a fluent communication and giving clear instructions. 
The house is absolutely beautiful and cosy!
We enjoyed every minute playing with Wienston and Bean, we are looking forward to pets sitting them again!

Tina

This was a very nice sit. Arthur is gorgeous and very affectionate and I really enjoyed his company. Communication with Tina was great, and the welcome guide and instructions very clear and thorough.
Tina's house is very comfortable and surprisingly quiet for London. It's conveniently located for trains to Clapham Junction, from where you can get to a variety of attractions in London. About half an hour's walk away is Crystal Palace which has a lovely park and loads of fascinating history, plus nice shops and cafes. There's a great museum and food market on Sundays.
There's a nice wooded park across the road from Tina's house and fantastic views across London.
I'm looking forward to coming back at the end of the month to see little Arthur again.

Bryan

Bryan and Vallee were so welcoming and great at communicating giving helpful notes about caring for the pets. I really enjoyed my couple of days looking after Brisket, John and the four cats. 

All the furries were very friendly (although it took Thomas a little longer to feel comfortable with a stranger but come the evening sat on my lap for cuddles and strokes). It was good to get to know each of their individual characters during the course of the couple of days. They are both amazing dogs and a pleasure to look after and John to walk. 

The house is spacious and nicely decorated. I also enjoyed being able to walk and run in the surrounding parkland.  There’s an amazing network of trails which links up to the Bayou. The location is great too for the Museum District and Montrose, Houston Heights. 

Thank you so much Bryan and Vallee. I would highly recommend this Housesit.
