“Wen and her husband did a great job watching our golden retriever Nori while we were out of town. We had issues finding someone who could accommodate boarding our dog last-minute on a holiday, but Wen made the process easy. Nori was having some stomach issues before we left, so she sent us multiple videos during walks since we were concerned. Wen even went above and beyond and washed her favorite stuffy and bandana. Would recommend and definitely book again!”
“Benison and Jennie are absolutely awesome and well suited sitters for Artemis. My cat Artemis became really attached to their outgoing kitten Kevin during his stay even though he’s been standoffish with other cats in the past. I’ll definitely bring him back to be under superb care and see his little buddy when I take another trip again. Highly rec!”
“Doug, thank you so much for taking Maximus into your loving home. I was at ease knowing that Maximus is with you. Maximus was well taken care by Doug. After two days, Maximus came back home happier and I would have Doug as my sitter again.”
“Couldn’t have asked for better care—Cie kept our pup happy, safe, and pampered. Total pro, super responsive, sent us many pictures showing him having a ball. Cie is the only dog sitter we will use.”
“We had a wonderful experience! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy looked like he was having an absolute blast and came home happily exhausted from all the fun. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed spending time with them and Evan. We would absolutely book with them again in the future. Thank you both (and thank you, Evan!) for taking such great care of our pup!”
“Connie is amazing! It was Cocoa’s first visit with a sitter and Connie did an amazing job with making us feel at ease. We scheduled a 2 hour visit and Connie sent a ton of pictures of them playing and cuddling. I highly recommend Connie!! ‘”
“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”
“Xiaoying was so great with our cat. She was so patient and did everything to make her as comfortable as possible. We are so thankful and grateful for all she did while we vacationed.”
“Trena and Leo were absolutely amazing!!! They watched our golden retriever puppy for the weekend and did drop in visits for our cat! She was very responsive and sent many photos and videos! We didn’t have to worry once about them, they were in such good hands! We will absolutely book with her again and couldn’t recommend her more!!!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care [Pet Sitter’s Rommuel provided for my dog, Halo. From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. Halo was well fed and walked a few times daily. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. Rommuel went above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“This was our second time boarding our Golden Retriever with Emely! She took great care of him for 4 days and he came back happy and healthy! Emely sent regular pictures and updates, which made us feel at ease! We would definitely book with Emely again!”
“Kari is THE BEST!!! I wouldn’t trust my baby with anyone other than Kari. She takes great care of Buck like her own and genuinely cares for him. Towards closer to the end of buck’s stay, he had a medical emergency. Not anyone’s fault-might have been a pre-existing condition that we didn’t know about. The amount of care and concern Kari showed was overwhelming. She was even willing to take him to emergency herself but since buck is heavy, she couldn’t do it on her own. She had to ask her husband to come home early from work just to make sure buck is taken to emergency as soon as possible. And it didn’t end there…. Kari constantly checks in on buck even as of today. Thank you so much Kari. I didn’t know what to do without you. You are amazing! We appreciate you so much.”
“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“Our dog Ladybug had such a great time with Bingjie and Raymond that we've already booked another stay. Bingjie and Raymond are kind-hearted, caring and hard-working and their compassion for dogs really shows. The photos showed that Ladybug had plenty of walks and affection. Bingjie and Raymond devoted a lot of attention to cleaning her goopy eyes every day. I would absolutely recommend them to family and friends. Thanks for your care Bingjie and Raymond!”
About: I’m a dog lover and a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. Caring for dogs is a part of my everyday life, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience they need. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, outings, and lots of cuddles! I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and happy to follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pup and give them the attention they deserve. My weekends are flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles while keeping your dog’s regular routine as consistent as possible. I have a fenced front yard where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also have two dogs of my own, so my home is very dog-friendly. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. If your dog is crate-trained or needs their own space, I can easily accommodate that as well. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re in my care.
“I cannot say how wonderful this experience was. Communication was excellent. Multiple pictures sent without asking. I think my dog liked it there better than Home. I cannot recommend this Rover more. I will definitely use them again and I suggest you do as well.! if I could give six stars, I would”
“I was so impressed with the level of care Heather provided for our senior dog. Caring for my dog takes extra effort due to his health conditions and she was more than willing to go above and beyond to meet all of his needs and more! She communicates frequently and it made me feel at ease while away on our trip. She even sent messages every time she administered his medication so I knew he got each dose. Heather was amazing and I will be definitely be reaching out to her for all my future doggy sitting needs!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Irvine
I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Buddy received! This was our first time booking with them on Rover, and the lovely daily photos and updates gave me such peace of mind. They even checked in about his gassy belly, which showed how attentive they were to his comfort. 🐾 Those thoughtful little details mean so much. Thank you for looking after my sweet boy with such kindness! I would happily book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.
Yanping was an excellent dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated daily with photos of Leo, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring knowing he was in such good hands throughout our trip. I highly recommend Yanping to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again for all our future trips.
I booked a last-minute three-day weekend stay for our Vizsla, and everything went perfectly! Junping's home was beautiful, newer, and very dog-friendly. I received photos and updates throughout the weekend. Our Vizsla clearly had a great time and was very well cared for. Highly recommend!
Trena and Leo were absolutely amazing!!! They watched our golden retriever puppy for the weekend and did drop in visits for our cat! She was very responsive and sent many photos and videos! We didn’t have to worry once about them, they were in such good hands! We will absolutely book with her again and couldn’t recommend her more!!!
Temi, was our favorite Rover sitter we’ve ever used! She took our dog on errands and seemed to genuinely have fun sitting and hanging out with her. We got lots of cute updates and photos. Our dog even wanted to say bye when we picked her up. Will absolutely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Irvine home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your East Irvine.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your East Irvine sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
