Dog Sitters in Mission Viejo, CA

Unfortunately my dog died a few days before their stay. They took excellent care of my home and even fixed my dishwasher

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

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.

Rumee and Moses were fantastic! They lovingly cared for our 7 month old, high energy puppy and left the house very clean. They were great communicators prior to and throughout the stay. We would love to have them stay again!

They were wonderful with lola

Adrienne is just the best and Buddy and my cleaning lady and my neighbors all give her the highest rating!

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!

Heather was reliable, communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. After an initial meet and greet over Zoom, I knew right away that our dog and our home would be in good hands. She is a mature and responsible professional who was pleasant to deal with all around. She left the place very clean, she met us at the time we agreed upon, and she was patient and understanding with our dog who wasn’t on his best behavior when they first met. I highly recommend Heather as a sitter and would love to have her again.

Gaby was so great for us and Princesa! Princesa took on her right away. Her daily photos and text mesages showed us how calm our cat was. Upon arrival, Princesa was happy and affectionate. She did not miss us at all!

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.

Dana was an amazing sitter for my dog Gypsy. She sent me many photos during her stay and it was clear my pup had the best time. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone in need of a good sitter. I hope to have her sit again any time!

I’m so thankful to have had Brian stay with my dog while I was away, he is an ideal sitter! He is so nice and kind, very self sufficient, and took great care of my apartment and pet. He was super easy to communicate with and I came home to a happy dog and clean home. I hope he’s able to come back again! Thanks Brian ❤️
