About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.

About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.
“We had Jennifer pop in to watch our cat every day for 2 weeks. She was so sweet with Foo and took great care of him. Was so nice knowing our cat was in great hands while we were on vacation. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!

About: I have grown up in a household with at least 3 dogs my entire life. With busy parents I have been in charge of feeding, washing, and taking care of all of the duties to keep them safe and also enjoying life. I have had experience with aggression, calmness, and everything in between and am well aware of any differences in personality that other individuals may have not had experience with. I am a recently graduated college student that just moved into the area, looking for fun ways to keep me active this summer/fall while having fun on walks, playtime, and sitting. I have grown up around countless pets and absolutely adore any time with them. Safety first! Whether at my place or yours, I make sure everything is secure and pet-proofed. Trust is key, so I always follow your instructions to a T, keeping you updated with pics and messages if that is preferred l. The environment is all about fun and comfort, with plenty of toys, cozy spots, and lots of love to make your pets feel right at home!
“Eileen was amazing!! She cared for our kitten (1.5 years) everyday for a week over the holidays. He had never been left alone for this long before so we were a little nervous to leave him. He is usually shy around strangers but he warmed right up to her; she gave him so much love & attention, and sent us daily updates with photos & videos to show us how well he was doing. Will definitely re-book with a Eileen in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: My husband, Gunner and I have been pet sitting for about 11 years together. We love to make furry friends and are looking for an extra stream of income as we do work full time. We cannot have pets due to our rental situation, so pet sitting is a great solution. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend. We are available after 4pm M-F and free weekends, every other Friday all day. Michela can let pups out her lunch for a quick walk if in the Dana Point/SJC area. Currently cannot house animals at our home due to rental rules, but we are available to sit your pet in the comfort of your own home. Typical day would be getting up, letting dogs out for morning potty and depending on pet’s feeding schedule feed them and wait a little before taking them on a 30 minute to hour walk. At least 3 walks a day, this all depends on the dog’s agility and ability of course.
“Christina is great. She responded to my last minute request and was right on time the next morning. My cat is very timid, but she responded extremely well to Christina. Thanks again!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals, and I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My home has always been a comfortable, pet-friendly place. Today, I share my home with my own pets: a soft coated Wheaten Terrier and a ginger cat. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals, and I take pride in providing attentive, loving care while following your instructions closely—so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m lucky to have great walking trails near my house, and I often take my dog on long walks down to the beach. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their energy level and routine. My goal is always to build a calm, trusting bond so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m a consultant with a very flexible schedule, and since I work from home most days, I’m around to give your pet plenty of attention and care. My home is very pet-friendly—I allow pets on the furniture and in bed with me—but I'm also happy to follow whatever rules you have for your pet during their stay. I want them to feel at home while keeping consistency with your preferences and routine.
“The only sitter I'll trust with my dogs! She goes above and beyond with making sure I have peace of mind while I'm on vacation, and that my dogs are well taken care of. She also handles large dogs very well which was a major factor for me when choosing her as my sitter. Will definitely be booking with her for my next upcoming trips!”
“Victoria is amazing and so sweet! Really fast and great communication. She took great care of my two dogs and I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need someone to drop in and check on them :) I highly recommend Victoria!!”

About: I grew up always having pets, at one point I had 7 at once! Dogs, cats, rabbits, and gerbils. I’m a huge pet lover and look forward to watching your fur babies for you 💕 I have a very flexible schedule and can work either part time or full time. Willing to help as many pet families as I can! I treat my pets like they’re my babies. They are so deserving and deserve to be spoiled. They sleep on the couch and in the bed!

Dana Point cat parents share their Rover experiences
I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!
Selina was amazing with my special-needs cat. She followed instructions perfectly, was gentle and patient, and sent regular updates that made me feel at ease. I could tell my cat felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter! Thank you Selina!!!
