“Eric & Allison treated our pup Kaiya so well! They were able to accommodate us on short notice & we received a bunch of updates, which was much appreciated. Was cute seeing Moose be a gentleman showing Kaiya the neighborhood on their walk & bringing her out to our car for pick up🥹😂 Highly recommend & looking forward to the next time they can watch our girl!”


“First time using Rover in Dana Point. When I picked up my dogs they were coming back from their walk with Matthew and both dogs were very happy with their tongues out and tails wagging. Pictures also showed both dogs playing with dog toys and happy. I will for sure ask him to sit my dogs again! Very pleased 😃”


“Doreen was fantastic! I will definitely be booking with her again. Odie was immediately comfortable in Doreen’s home, and her dog, Cloe, was really sweet and a great companion for Odie. Odie was POOPED when I picked him up, so I can tell that Doreen did an amazing job exercising him, playing with him, and cuddling with him while I was at work. Additinally, I found Doreen to be very personable, friendly, and she made me feel welcome and comfortable during the drop off! Do yourself (and your dog) a favor, and book Doreen for your pups next Rover stay.”

“Highly recommend! Thank you for making it possible for us to bring our boy with us on vacation and enjoy the amenities of the hotel and snuggle our pup at night! I really appreciate the pictures that you sent throughout the day.”


About: I’ve fostered, raised, and trained dogs of every kind since I was 12. I have experience ranging from aggressive “working” breeds to loyal family pets. I’ve led my personal dogs through obedience & agility course training at young ages, and I’ve taken care of them in senior stages with physical therapy and supplement regimes. I work a fully remote job from home and can be very attentive to your dog throughout the day. I’m available for overnight boarding 7 days a week Daily walks, treats, cuddle time and training (if needed) are provided. I go to my local park daily around 12-1pm. Morning and evening walks after meals, everyday.

About: I have had a dog of my own consistently since I was 25 years old. My husband had his own dog before we met as well. We love dogs and enjoy their company and believe in the pack mentality. We have 3 kids- all daughters- (16, 12, and 10) who also love dogs. They are amazing animals that give so much and we appreciate and acknowledge this. Because we already have a dog, I am doing walks, feedings, baths, etc. It's more fun for our dog to have friends as well. I work from home and my dog, Arthur, is home with me all day. We go on morning walks, mid-day walks, and evening walks together. I feed the pups, walk them, love with them, and treat them as our own. My own pup, Arthur, loves having friends in the house so it works out wonderfully.

“Diana and Emily watched our dogs, Yoshi and Stitch, for an all-day doggy daycare while we went to the zoo. Diana and Emily were flexible, communicative, and our dogs had a great time. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Diana and Emily to anyone looking for sitters that will care for your dogs the way you do.”


About: As a vet’s son I’ve been around animals my whole life. My main concern is keeping your pet safe and having fun. 😊 If your pet has any issues let me know so I can get you a second opinion from my dad. I work for an online veterinary telehealth platform so I’m constantly in communication with veterinarians and pet owners. The job of pet sitting seemed to find me and fit very naturally into my life. I’m consistently invited back to watch people’s pets and homes. I love my community and it’s nice helping people save some money on boarding costs. Everything is pet safe. Yard is completely gated and within a gated community. During the week, I usually take dogs in to my private office (in Dana Point) with me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was young. I am also a nanny who dogs sits my family’s dogs on a regular basis! I have done so with all my nanny families over the last 4 years in their home and in my own home for weeks at a time! I currently work a nanny job in the early morning for school drop offs plus a part time restaurant job a few days of the week so most of my time is free!

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/ella19101 My profile link offers pet parents a $20 off their first booking with Rover. And if they find another sitter, you’ll get a $10 referral bonus. I've had my German Shephard girl, Ava, for 15 years since she was a pup. We have opened pet sitting business when lived in LA area (petsdigthis.c0m). When we moved to Orange County, Capistrano beach area I had to concentrate on my girl as she slowed down and we took little break from taking care of other doggies and concentrated more on senior life with my girl, as she needed more one on one attention. Ava's wish for me to continue my passion of hiking and walking with other doggies while I am also hiking/walking with Ava spiritually, which I've been since her passing in November of 2022. She taught me what dogs want, love, and enjoy. The hiking, the walking and occasional treats (if appropriate) are included in all our dog sitting services. Please join us on fun walks or hikes in Dana Point, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano area. More about me and my hikes: petsdigthis com I am a healthcare professional who works from home full-time. I like to take long breaks to get away from the desk, work and the laptop. I go every morning on a walk to my baby's favorite beach spot in Capo. Beach. Maybe your doggy would be interested to join. Also on wknd I go for long hikes/walks in the area with my husband and would like to invite your baby. Hikes and walks can range between 3-6 miles based on energy level of your pup to accommodate. Drop-in visits | All visits include walks. We currently fostering a cat in his twilight years, 14 year old Harry, in our home, who is retired and usually sleeping most of the day. Message me please for more details or any questions you may have.

About: Hi! I’m Sophie Jane, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience. I grew up in a home with three cats and three dogs, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I have cared for all ages and sizes, as well as a variety of breeds. I am able to cater to the specific needs of your pet, whether that be a special diet, administering oral medications, or lots of excercise. My husband and I have a friendly Samoyed named Gus, and a cat (who mostly keeps to himself). Gus is always excited to play with new friends, and he enjoys sharing his toys. I work from home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. My husband is in the military so it will be primarily me taking care of your pooch. He is a dog lover just like me, so when he is home your pup will be getting extra pets and love! I want you to feel at ease knowing your baby is taken care of and supervised while you are away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the attention they deserve. I understand the importance of a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and stress free. Although I do not have a yard, I have a balcony with a nice sea breeze and the area I live in is very walkable and pet friendly. There are also a few dog parks near by if your dog has a lot of energy to burn off! We’ve got a bucket full of toys that Gus loves to share. We’ve also got some treats if you are okay with those! Whether your pup sleeps in a crate, on the bed or a couch, we’ll make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I’ll be here all day to let them out on potty breaks and make sure their bellies are full! Let me know if you have specific needs or accommodations.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life - from childhood and through adulthood. I have fostered dogs for various rescue agencies. I have always had several dogs in our family and couldn’t imagine life without them! I homeschool my daughters so i am home a lot. We have three very friendly dogs in our home. We also have two adorable Guinea pigs. I have experience with dogs of all ages as i have fostered puppies and have had senior dogs of my own. As we do have kids in our house, i would only be comfortable being in in dogs who aren’t hesitant around kids. My daughters are extremely respectful and loving towards all animals and i always encourage clear boundaries with them and animals. I homeschool my daughters and my husband works from home so someone will always be home! We can provide constant access to our yard for potty breaks. I have a fully fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I can also crate your dog if they’re more comfortable!

About: I have a deep love for dogs and have spent years caring for them, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. As a Rover sitter, I’m excited to offer personalized care for your pet, whether it’s a fun walk, playtime with my dog Maverick, or just some quality cuddles while you're away. I'm an airline pilot that has a lot of time off work and looking to fill my days with activities with my dog and why not add another furry friend to our fun days. Me and my husband have a house with a beautiful large park right next to us where we play with our puppy Maverick all the time. We spend a lot of time outside on walks and hikes. You pup will get plenty of excersise with us.

About: Hi there, I'm Hannah! I have an adorable, friendly 5 year old pug, Bosco, and I live with my husband in our home in Dana Point. I have always loved dogs from a young age, and volunteer with Muttville. My husband and I work from home everyday, so your dog is always under supervision. We have a nice backyard, plenty of space for them to run around and play. We live in a neighborhood with several parks and a fenced in dog park. Before booking, I’d love to schedule some time for a quick meet and greet at our home to make sure it’s a good fit. I have flexibility to dog sit during the week or weekends as I work from home. I enjoy getting outside with my dog daily and exploring new neighborhoods. I live in a single family home in Dana Point with a fenced-in back yard. There is plenty of room inside and outside of our home for dogs to roam in a safe environment.

Dana Point dog parents share their Rover experiences
Diana was beyond amazing and our pup enjoyed going daily for a week of daycare. Their home is wonderful and the backyard is most ideal. We felt beyond comfortable and the environment was enriching for our girl. The pics and vids were deeply appreciated. Thank you massively!

First time using Rover in Dana Point. When I picked up my dogs they were coming back from their walk with Matthew and both dogs were very happy with their tongues out and tails wagging. Pictures also showed both dogs playing with dog toys and happy. I will for sure ask him to sit my dogs again! Very pleased 😃

Doreen provided next-level care for my Scarlet. It is clear that she is all-in for the doggies! Doreen communicates beautifully— before, during, and after the scheduled sitting, Doreen’s outreach and updates were above and beyond. Her space is fully equipped and secure, plus she is a QUALITY human being, to say the very least!! Also important to note that I came from out of town— Doreen provided me with such calm assurance and confidence that Scarlet would be in the most caring hands! I highly recommend her for any of your sitting needs!! Thank you, Doreen, to the moon and beyond <3

Lauren and Evan were wonderful with my toy poodle, Zorro! They were extremely responsive and flexible, and attended to his specific medical and behavioral needs. Zorro felt very comfortable and was very calm when I picked him up. I will definitely ask Lauren to watch Zorro again when I’m back in Dana Point.
