“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“Wen is a fantastic sitter. She kept me updated and took great care of my dog, sending many pictures and videos. My dog came back tired too so I know she had a good time. I'd like to use Wen in the future.”
“Was a very good experience. She was very nice , gave updates during the day and really felt the care she had for my cat and providing a good experience for both me and my cat. Was my first experience using this type of service and so glad it all worked out. Would definitely recommend her and this service.”
“Thank you Doug & fam for looking after our pup 🐶! She is highly energetic and excitable but she got her energy out and was really well cared for. Got plenty of picture updates. Will definitely use for future boarding needs!”
“Lorelle was great with Adam. She administered him medications with no problems and attended to his special needs. She was very communicative and sent photos or videos regularly. I felt like Adam was in good hands with Lorelle, she is very experienced and is very kind.”
“We had such a great experience! Kiryl took amazing care of our dog for the entire week and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!”
“Junping took great care of my dog, Ripley. She’s a little shy and anxious in new places, and Junping was very patient and attentive with her. She made sure to keep Ripley company and sent me tons of photos and daily updates, which really helped me feel reassured while I was away. I really appreciated how well she cared for Ripley and would definitely book with her again!”
“My dog had the absolute best time with her. I was worried at first he might feel timid, but they made sure he had a safe heaven at their home. I got plenty of updates, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for caring for Loki!”
“Rebecca is the best! From the meet and greet to Gimli’s first stay, I could tell she was great. She communicated well, gave daily updates, and let me know when there were issues.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“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!”
“Megan did a terrific job keeping me constantly informed and sending pictures. I think Buddy had a better time being with her and her dog than he has with boring old me. I would definitely recommend Meghan to anyone.”
“My dog Apollo had a great time staying with JK! He was well entertained while I was away and when my dog’s old harness broke they even had an extra one for him to use. I would let Apollo stay with them anytime!”
“Homeira is amazing. She took in our dog who is elderly, blind and requires constant attention. Whether feedings, potty breaks(which were numerous), to making sure he was comfortable. She made him feel like he was home. We couldnt have found a better sitter for our Bruno.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and leaving Miko with anyone outside of family. We were admittedly nervous about how Miko would react to being left with people she didn’t know, but as soon as Dylan (Kaylee’s husband) opened the door, she bounded into their townhouse and would have run up the stairs if she wasn’t on a leash. All of our anxiety melted away at that moment, knowing that Miko was immediately comfortable in her “vacation home”. Kaylee sent pictures and messages every day and seeing Miko so engaged and happy made our vacation even better. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit for Miko and am very thankful that they were available to take care of her last week. We will request Kaylee and Dylan every time we need a dog sitter in the Irvine area.”
“Excellent, Youhua very attentive, and she keeps updating me about the dogs everyday so I don't have to worry at all. My first experience was fantastic! I'll continue to use this app. 👍🏻”
About: Your pet will be treated like family. ❤️ I’ve cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, including puppies, seniors, multiple pets, and dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I currently have a Pomeranian and have previously cared for multiple dogs and cats. I work from home, so I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I especially enjoy long walks, jogging, and helping dogs get the exercise they need. If your dog is high-energy or needs more than a standard walk, jogging and extended exercise are available for an additional charge. I also enjoy reinforcing basic training and good manners during walks. I have a large fenced backyard and experience volunteering at animal shelters. I’m loving, punctual, careful, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for. Need a regular walking partner for your high-energy dog? I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and exercised! 🐶 I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide consistent and reliable care. I’m especially interested in recurring dog walks and can work with your dog’s regular routine. I offer standard walks as well as longer walks, jogging, and extra exercise for an additional charge for dogs who need to burn more energy. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m careful about following your instructions, your dog’s routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’m punctual, responsible, and attentive during walks. I’ll make sure your dog is safely handled and supervised throughout the visit.
“This was the first time I left my Maltipoo, Mimi, with a sitter, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mimi stayed with Ying for 4 days, and she took such wonderful care of her. Ying was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, Ying sent regular photo and video updates, which really put my mind at ease and reassured me that Mimi was happy, safe, and well cared for. I could tell Mimi felt comfortable and loved, which meant so much to me. Ying was also very communicative, responsive, and flexible. You can tell she truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Ying to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Naoko too such great care of our little frenchie, Momo. She sent messages, pictures, and video throughout Momo's visit, keeping us at ease knowing she is happy. Thank you, Naoko. We'll be sure to bring Momo back to you next time! Momoの写真とビデオを送って下さり、毎日の様子もメッセージを頂けて安心しました。また機会があれば是非ともお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました！”
“Li and Di were awesome caring for Enzo and Waffle. We had another caregiver scheduled.... but the guy went MIA the day before our trip (speaking of stress level...). So I reached out to Li/Di last minute and they responded to me so quickly and agreed to care for our dogs. Their place is really clean and big. They also have a big yard. As soon as I walked into their place while handing over our dogs, I know they would be in good hands. Li/Di are so friendly and their kids love our dogs. Dogs came back to us healthy, happy and clean. I would highly recommend Li and Di and will have no problem booking them again for our next trip.”

We had our pup board with Ana for 5 nights and she was great! Our pup midway had a vet emergency and Ana took time out of her day to take him to the vet, which we appreciated a lot! She was super attentive with our pup and send daily updates with tons of pictures. She also asks us questions whenever she is unsure of something. She was also very flexible with our schedule, we had to drop him off very early in the am to catch our flight and then we had to pick him up super late after we landed. She was great and we would definitely book again!
Kaylee is seriously the best!! Great communication, attentive and responsible. She did such a wonderful job taking care of our little Leo while we were away on vacation for 5 days. She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and sent us so many cute pictures. We loved every single one! We could tell Leo was comfortable and having a great time! One thing I appreciated most was that I never had to reach out or ask for updates because she was already so good about keeping us in the loop. This was our first time ever boarding Leo, so I was a little nervous going into it but Kaylee made the entire experience so easy. We didn’t feel stressed or anxious at all, and I was able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing he was happy and safe. I loved that Leo got so much attention and having her dog Ripley there was also such a huge plus! Ripley is a cutie and gets along so well with Leo. Thank you so much for everything Kaylee! 😊
She and her family were wonderful with taking care of our dog. She was extremely prompt and professional with communication. She would send countless pictures through the stay. Her home is such a clean environment for your dog. She would make sure appetite and exercise were all taken care of. Would definitely recommend and re-book if needed!
Jie always does a great job. She's flexible with pickup and drop off times, which is important to us since our travel plans can change last minute. She checks in and sends pictures so we know our pet is having a good time. We'll definitely keep booking with Jie in the future.
I am very happy I chose Charlene to watch my fur baby! She is patient, kind and attentive to his needs. She created a welcoming environment for my puppy. He greatly enjoyed his stay. I received lots of pictures, videos and updates so I knew how well he was doing while I was away. If challenges came up, Charlene communicated with me so we could work together to find a solution. I will definitely book with her again!
They were wonderful with Max! They took photos of him, eased my mind, and even noticed some paw pain that we got treated upon his return with the vet. It was my mom's dog, and I am out of state, or I would definitely use them again. I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs.
We were thankful to have Nathan watch our 2 frenchies while we were out of town for 4 days. He made time for a meet and greet before leaving them which helped us to know what to expect and to be confident that they would be well taken care of. He sent photos each day and was easy to communicate with. We are happy to have found someone we can trust with our furkids while we're away!
Winnie took excellent care of our pug Coco while we were out of town. She was communicative and caring with Coco’s daily routine and sent us lots of pictures and videos during her stay, which we appreciated so much. We felt so comfortable and happy that Coco was also enjoying her own little vacation and that she also got to meet another pug friend with Chloe. We’d highly recommend Winnie to any dog parents who are looking for a Rover stay. Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in East Irvine can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Irvine. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
