“I cannot say enough great things about Amisha! Sweet, reliable, communicates well, sends great photos…the list goes on! I will definitely have her care for my babies again!”
“Leah took such good care of Petunia during my trip abroad. I felt I did not need to worry at all, especially since Leah gave appropriately detailed summaries of her check ins. She didn't miss anything, and has gone above and beyond with every visit. I can tell she truly cares about Petunia's well being, and that gives me great comfort as well. Thank you so much, Leah!”
About: Thanks for visiting my profile. I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that your pets are family. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and all those little details that keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. You will receive clear communication, updates, and plenty of photos. I've got experience walking dogs, overnight stays and administering medication. I have two dogs and a cat myself, and I consider my animals family. I will treat yours the same! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, and visits throughout the day. This ensures I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Ensuring your pet's safety is a top priority. I promise to make sure your furry loved one(s) are always in a safe environment. I also have experience administering medication if needed.
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.

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.

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.

Dana Point pet 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!
Huiwen was great! Communication went very well. She was flexible, she spent some time with our little puppy, I felt nervous leaving him for the first time. But she made me feel very comfortable. She took great care of our little guy and we will definitely be booking to use her services again.
Helena was amazing! She showed up right on time, kept us updated with sweet pictures and check-ins, took Bean on a fun walk, and gave him so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Looking forward to having her watch Bean again.
Isabelle was the best! We rarely ever leave our dogs - they are very attached to us. Both our babies instantly took a liking to Isabelle at the meet and greet. She learned their individual routines quickly and efficiently and made them feel so comfortable. She was the sweetest and provided us with multiple updates and photos a day ♥️! Couldn’t thank her enough!
