Exceptional Pet Care, Thoughtfully Personalized
Boutique, home-based care for dogs and cats in Eastside Costa Mesa, welcoming clients across Orange County. Your pet deserves nothing less than attentive, individualized care.
Why Families Choose Us
Every detail is intentional — from the environment to the communication. Here's what sets Newport Mesa Paw Care apart.
Personalized care, with thoughtful socialization
I keep my group intentionally small — typically 2–3 pets at a time — so each dog receives individualized attention in a calm, well-matched environment. Most dogs thrive with gentle companionship, but private, single-pet stays are also available upon request for those who need it.
Personalized routines
Every pet has their own rhythm. I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort cues to maintain the consistency they thrive on — from feeding schedules to favorite nap spots.
Attentive, home-based care
With a home-based routine, your pet is surrounded by consistent attention, companionship, and gentle supervision throughout the day — creating a calm, comfortable environment where they can truly relax. Care is primarily provided by me, with occasional support from trusted family members who follow the same standards.
Experienced with senior, anxious & special-needs pets
I'm experienced in caring for pets who need extra attention — from seniors to anxious dogs and those with specific routines or medications. With a calm, patient approach, I focus on helping each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease.
Thoughtful Communication & Updates
Regular photo updates, detailed check-ins, and responsive messaging so you always feel connected and at ease. I typically respond in under 30 minutes.
Thoughtful extra touches
When it makes sense for your pet, I love adding small, thoughtful touches — like light grooming, freshening up, or the occasional homemade treat. Everything is tailored to each pet's needs and simply part of the personalized care I enjoy providing.
Tailored Care for Every Need
From overnight boarding to afternoon walks, every service is designed with the same philosophy: attentive, personalized, and genuinely caring.
Boarding
Overnight stays in a calm, home-based environment with a small, well-matched group — allowing for individualized attention, daily walks, and a comfortable, low-stress experience. Private, single-pet stays are also available upon request.
Doggy Day Care
A full day of play, rest, and companionship in a supervised home setting — with walks, enrichment, and attentive, personalized care.
Dog Walking
Walks tailored to your dog's routine, energy level, and preferences — from relaxed neighborhood strolls to active outings at parks, beaches, or trails.
Drop-In Visits
Check-ins at your home for feeding, potty breaks, medication, and a comforting presence — for both dogs and cats.
House Sitting
Overnight care in your home, maintaining your pet's routine and environment for maximum comfort. Available for both dogs and cats.
Meet Vi
With over six years of dedicated pet care experience and a genuine love for dogs and cats, I founded Newport Mesa Paw Care to offer something more personal — thoughtful, home-based care designed around each pet’s unique needs.
I keep my care intentionally small so every pet receives individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My approach is rooted in understanding each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort cues, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
I have experience caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and supporting dogs with anxiety or more sensitive temperaments. Above all, my goal is to create a space where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely looked after while you’re away.
Trusted by Families Across Newport Mesa
With 100+ five-star reviews and a 5.0 rating, our clients consistently share the same experience: attentive care, thoughtful communication, and genuine love for their pets.
“When we planned our 3-week trip to Southeast Asia, we were most worried about who would care for our pup, Riley. All of our concerns disappeared after Vi's first-day update — Riley seemed comfortable, safe, and happy. Through the weeks, Riley was so well cared for — multiple walks a day, playdates with other dogs, homemade pet-friendly food, trips to the beach, hikes, baths. Vi and her partner even repaired Riley's favorite toy and washed her blanket! Honestly, we wondered if Riley would want to come home. Needless to say, if you board your pet with Vi, you may never live up to the standards your pet will have for you after.”

“Vi was by far the best pet sitter I've ever experienced and was very attentive to my sweet indoor kitty. She sent 10-15 pictures every day on her visit and provided very thorough updates which was so helpful as my kitty can get separation anxiety while I'm away and my kitty was so happy and playful in the pictures! I would highly recommend Vi, she is the best and has the sweetest personality!”

Drop-In Visits · Jan 2026
“Vi is awesome! She is very sweet with our very old kitty and our two pups. We were on a trip when our kitty got sick and Vi managed the situation perfectly. She treated him with loving care until we returned home (he's okay). She is thorough and pays attention to detail. The best part about her is that our pets love her.”

“Vi was amazing! My dog was so well cared for while we were away. Daily updates and photos, plus extra care including brushing her hair, extra toys and fresh blankets, multiple walks per day (in between scattered rain!), and loving TLC for my high maintenance dog! I've already booked Vi for my next trip!”

“Vi always takes such good care of my boy! It's so hard to leave my dog behind when I go on trips, but I trust Vi 100% knowing that she's giving him lots of love while I'm gone. Book her, you won't regret it.”

Dog Walking · Dec 2025
“Vi was wonderful! She was kind enough to take us as a last minute booking for our 10 year old Kai Ken while we were on vacation and our original sitter had to cancel. Even though it was a very short stay, she took our girl on a nice walk and kept us updated. Our girl ended up having an upset stomach during her stay and Vi handled it with such grace! This was the first time we've ever left our girl with a stranger in 10 years and Vi made it such a stress-free experience for us.”
