About Me

Hi, I’m Mandi, the owner of South Coast Trusted Pet Care. I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering medications, including injections, and providing thoughtful, attentive care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

When I’m not caring for animals, I’m working as an artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate the time and attention your pets deserve. Caring for animals has always brought me joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

My own dog, Dexter, a papillon, lived to the age of 19. Through him, I gained firsthand experience with the unique needs and challenges of senior pets, and I understand how important it is to have a trusted caregiver who truly gets it.

I’m based in San Juan Capistrano and proudly serve South Orange County, including San Clemente, Newport Beach, Laguna Hills, and the surrounding areas. My goal is to provide reliable, professional, and compassionate care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home to care for your pets. That’s why I’ve completed a background check through Rover for added peace of mind.

Client Testimonials

My dog can be quite shy, and Mandi greeted her with kindness and patience. I really appreciated it. I look forward to booking Mandi again soon!

Nathalie R.

Mandi is fantastic. She was watching Dexter for the second time and I could really see him connecting to her. He is normally very shy. Communication is easy and we found our cat and apartment in good health and cleaned up. Thank you! 😊

Stefanie V.

Mandi was great. The boys seemed very content. My dog requiring shots was not apprehensive after which speaks positively. Would definitely recommend.

Debbie J.

Mandi was so great! We appreciated her booking at the last minute with us.

Courtney G.

I have been lucky enough to have had Mandi care for a variety of pets over the years. She has taken care of my dog, my 2 cats and my pet fish. She has walked, fed, given medication, bathed and provided loving companionship to my pets. I would 100% recommend Mandi to care for your pet. I feel she cared for my pets just as much as I did/do. Extremely reliable, trustworthy and genuine. A++++
