“We've booked Katie for house sitting and already have another upcoming booking with her. She's knowledgeable, kept our house clean, and was easy to communicate with. Katie provided excellent care for our high-energy puppy and showed great affection for our senior dog. We appreciated all the updates with photos and videos, which kept us reassured and worry-free. We were initially concerned about finding someone who could handle our puppy's playful nature, quirks, and challenging behaviors, but Katie quickly eased our worries. Both dogs seem happy and well cared for, and we're grateful to have found someone patient and understanding of our dog’s unique needs. Looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again!”
“Bennie and Jennie did another wonderful job taking care of Freddie . He is happy to see me when I get home but a bit mopey because he misses them . He enjoys their care and attention. He was fed brushed and played with all the things he needs to keep my baby healthy and safe . I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel knowing they are in my house taking care of Freddie . They are respectful trust worthy and leave my house cleaner than when I left without my having to ask. It’s such a relief knowing I can plan a trip and if they are available I don’t have to worry about anything at home. Highly recommend these sweet caretakers if you need a babysitter .”

Thank you Ana!!!🌺❤️ You are truly an amazing person!!”
“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”
“You can tell instantly that Kimberly is a dog lover the moment you meet her. When she met Jordan for the first time, she was very calm and caring. Jordan was very quick to warm up to Kimberly right away. We knew Jordan was in good hands. Kimberly was very personable and friendly. We felt extremely comfortable with her and will definitely call her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always brought me joy. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with their pets by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love along the way. At home, I have two sweet cats, one a rescued stray and the other was the runt of his litter, who’ve taught me patience, compassion, and how every animal deserves special care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs gentle attention, or a shy kitty who warms up slowly, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Because I work part-time, I have lots of extra time to spend with furry friends. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I also keep my calendar updated so pet parents can book with confidence. If you ever need last minute care, feel free to reach out I’ll always do my best to help. My home is cozy and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and rest. I also share it with my two sweet cats, who are very gentle and welcoming with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I can easily separate them to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I believe in treating pets like family. I’ll provide them with lots of cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and frequent potty breaks to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy.
About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!
“Amyra and James were absolutely incredible! It's so reassuring to know that your pups are in such good hands while you are away. The fact that they stayed longer to accommodate our delay really shows their dedication and passion for what they do; they went above and beyond. We got regular updates and pictures and we came home to happy pups. They were on point and very attentive of our babies' needs. I highly recommend them!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenna! A lifelong animal lover, dependable caregiver, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the trail. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life – from goofy labs to spunky chihuahuas and even a couple of pigs in-between. I know that pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. Whether I’m going for walks, doling out belly rubs, or just being a calming presence while you’re away, I treat every lil lady or fella in my care like they’re my own. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always keep your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priority. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, give meds if needed, and send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I work a 9-5 schedule that allows me to prioritize morning walks or cozy evenings in with a furry friend. Weekends Friday after 5 to Sunday evening I'm available for whatever your pet may need. I care for clients’ pets the same way I’d care for my own - with patience, attention, and lots of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on familiar walking routes, or giving extra snuggles while they're missing you. I also make communication a priority - I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident that your pet is not just looked after, but genuinely cared for.

“Julia is a gem and a lovely person. She has a friendly energy and Pepsi felt at ease with her. He usually goes on hunger strike when we leave him but not with Julia!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the joy of caring for my beloved Bichon Frise for over ten years. I raised her from adulthood through her senior years, and was by her side through several surgeries and recovery periods. She was family, and I gave her all the love and attention she deserved every single day. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs when they traveled, and genuinely enjoy spending time walking, playing, and bonding with pups of all personalities. Dogs bring me so much happiness, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I’m currently fully available and happy to work with your schedule! Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I can be flexible and adjust to your pet’s needs. Weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings—I’m here to help whenever you need. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friend. I’ll do my best to make it easy and stress-free! At the moment, I provide in-home pet care only, which means I’ll come to your home to walk, feed, play with, or check on your pet. I do not offer boarding or pet stays at my own place. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays at your place, I’m happy to help and flexible with scheduling.

Raven can be handful when she misses her family, but we knew that she would be all right because Hyojean remains calm and friendly even when Raven gets a little wild.

East Irvine pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alice dog sat for us and her communication was wonderful. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures! She even checked to make sure we had gotten home ok and on time, or if she should return to check on our pets:) Alice is eager to be helpful and she is very kind.
So I normally don’t leave reviews but Chienju did an amazing job with our two fur babies! She house Sat and dog sat for us and I’m pretty sure both my pups got sad when she left lol All they did was wait by the stairs (I think they thought she would be back) to see if she’d return! She updated us constantly and shared some adorable pictures of our babies while we were away. She also kept our home as clean as we left it and was just overall very respectful of our home and our instructions for our dogs. I would highly recommend her if you need a sitter! I will for sure use her again in the future. Thanks again Chienju and I’m pretty sure our pups are sad you don’t live with us lol 🤣
Laura was absolutely incredible with our two large dogs! She has a warm and engaging way about her that our dogs immediately took to. Laura followed instructions regarding exercise, feedings, medicine administration, and spending time and caring for our dogs while we were out of town overnight. Laura feels it is important to not only keeps the dogs safe but enrich their lives in a variety of ways. We were so impressed by her energy and dedication and are so very thankful. I think our dogs really miss her now and we can’t wait for another opportunity to have her again!
Yarira is a super sweetheart. So attentive and gentile. We needed help with our new puppy and Yarira listened to our instructions and followed them to a T. She sent us pictures often reassuring us that our new fur baby was happy and doing well. So happy to have found her!
Ace was the perfect pet sitter for our toy poodle and tabby cat! They are incredibly friendly, sweet, and pairing to our pets! If you’re looking for someone who is experienced in taking of animals and enjoys doing it, contact Ace! I will definitely hire them again in the future!
Angelica was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs and two cats over the weekend and went above and beyond. She sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind, and even handled an unexpected situation by following all emergency protocols perfectly. I felt completely confident leaving my pets in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!
Holly came bright and early to take care of our little girl Luna. Holly has an excellent touch with dogs and assured us that Luna was going to have a great time while we were away for the morning. Thank you Holly for taking great care of Luna and making sure her needs were met. We will definitely book again soon!
I had such a great experience with Jessica as a dog sitter for my dog, Tuffy! She followed all of the care instructions, including wiping Tuffy's eyes, administering medication, and keeping to her specific feeding and walking schedule. I really appreciated how accommodating she was to Tuffy’s routine and her needs. Her communication was excellent — she was very responsive and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she was caring for Tuffy in the best way possible. Jessica kept me updated frequently with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Tuffy looked happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I returned — it was clear she was in good hands and liked Jessica very much. She was also incredibly trustworthy and respectful. I appreciated that she asked for permission in advance if she needed to be out for a certain period of time. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book her again!
Kassie watched my pup King for three nights while I was away on a work trip, and I couldn't be more grateful for her care. She was communicative throughout, sending regular updates and sweet photos that put me at ease. King was dealing with some stomach issues at the time, which required a bit of extra TLC, and Kassie handled it all with diligence and care. She was receptive to all the notes and guidance I provided and was prompt in asking thoughtful questions whenever she wasn’t sure about something. King seemed to really like her energy and trust her, which says a lot. I’d be happy to book Kassie again for both short- and long-term care!
My dog Sophie is a very particular animal with special requests and needs. Maryam took such great care of her and my dog did so well while I was gone. I didn’t have any worry at all and was able to enjoy my work trip. Thanks again Maryam. Sophie will definitely see you again!
Marketta watched our 80lb Lab for the first time and we are impressed with her. She is very calm and handles pet routine really well. She had the lab at our house and she maintained the house well (no issues) and kept it clean We will use her again and recommend her highly !
