“Regi did a wonderful job sitting with our fur babies who get separation anxiety. Very professional and prompt. We especially appreciated the photo updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend Regi.”

“Brittany was so kind and great with our puppy! She was really good at taking her out every few hours to try and avoid any potty accidents and was so friendly when we did our meet & greet with her! Our other dogs loved playing with her during our meet & greet.”

“We recently adopted our dog and were concerned about leaving her all day. Kayla made us feel at ease. Kayla has a calm energy and our pup loved her! She sent us pictures and videos so we knew everything was good. We highly recommend Kayla.”

About: Hello! My name is Brianna. I love all dogs and cats. I have become the de facto pet-sitter among all my friends and family over the last 4 years. I thought I would continue my love of pets on Rover! I've taken care of animals of all sizes; from under 10 lbs. small dogs and cats all the way to 60 lbs. German Shepard mixes! I'm am currently on summer break, so pet care fits right into my schedule. I am available for dog walking or house sitting most mornings, days and evenings! I will strive to create a familiar and stable routine for your pet filled with love and care; while also respecting your home. I am of the firm belief that if the animal should let you, you have to pet them. So rest assured that any pet of any size will be showered with affection.
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.

“Hong was wonderful with our puppy. She kept us up to date with frequent pictures and was so kind and loving to him. He really enjoyed having her care for him and was extremely happy the whole time. I highly recommend her if you are looking for the best care for your pet.”

“We hired Jasmine to house/pet sit while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and cat. She is very reliable and attentive, providing consistent communication with photos and video updates. She even went above and beyond by sweeping our floors! Our dogs are very high energy and Jasmine provided them with more than enough playtime. She clearly loves animals! Our dogs were well cared for and happy they got to have her very cute dogs as playmates! I feel she is someone we can trust with our animals and we already hired her for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Jasmine!!”


About: I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
“So happy Amyra was able to watch my dogs again, especially over the holidays it’s hard to find a sitter. She was great with communication and sent multiple updates daily! Left the house clean and with the happiest dogs!”


About: For five years, I’ve provided dedicated care for friends’ dogs and cats, handling feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure every pet feels safe and loved. Since I work part-time and is a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I can make sure your pet doesn’t lose their routine you’ve established. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their existing routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Photo & text updates, light house work(bringing in mail/ watering plants), routine maintenance(feeding/walking/sleeping schedule will be maintained)
“We’ve used Katie a few times now to watch our pup and we can’t say enough good things. She’s attentive, kind, a great communicator, and responsible. We are so happy we found Katie and can go on trips knowing our sweet girl is in good hands. Katie helps administer meds to our pup and is very intuitive with knowing what our dog needs. Thank you Katie for taking the best care of our girl!”


About: I grew up around dogs, I currently have one of my own. I consistently walk neighbors, dogs, and overnight them if needed. I know how to deal with senior dogs, adults and puppies. I know how to administer medication and I know how to train the little ones. I volunteered an animal shelter, so I work with all different types of personalities and no task is too big! I am currently on summer break and available all day! I do have work here and there but shifts are no more then 4-6 hours long. I will not be putting pets in my own home, but preferably if I am staying in your home, I would like detailed instructions on how you take care of your fur baby just to make the whole entire experience smoother for them and for me.
“We were so happy that Donna could come and dog sit/house sit for our little Lina while we were out of town. Donna immediately formed a tight bond with our dog and provided the best care! We will definitely use her service again! She is such a warm and kind person, very professional and Lina loves her! Thank you Mike and Donna!”

“Julia was absolutely amazing for our trip! She provided excellent care for our pup , provided regular updates and pictures, and made sure our home was also looked after during our trip. She was always super responsive and kept me informed about any updates or questions. I looked forward to getting each of her pictures and updates. Not only did she take such good care of our pup but she also took excellent care of our home. Everything was clean and tidy Upon Our return. She even washed her sheets and towels and even remade the bed! She also wrote us a sweet note and d an awesome pic of our pup! I am super impressed by everything that Julia did and we will absolutely be requesting her for all of our future pet sitting needs! I cannot thank you enough Julia.”

“Sahba absolutely came to our rescue when a previously booked sitter canceled on us at the very last minute. Despite the short notice, he arrived promptly and immediately put our minds at ease. He watched our home for several nights and took wonderful care of our two cats and our high-strung little dog. Anyone with a nervous pup knows how important the right energy is, and Sahba handled her perfectly. We really appreciated his communication throughout the stay; he sent regular updates and photos, which allowed us to actually relax knowing everyone was in good hands. We highly recommend Sahba for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be calling him again!”

“Irene did an amazing job caring for my pups while I was away for a wedding. She sent updates and pictures while allowed me to feel confident they were in good hands and enjoy my time away worry free. She definitely went the extra mile, I highly recommend!”

About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
East Irvine pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Julia and would absolutely book with her again! She was proactive, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog while we were away. She sent multiple photo updates each day and even commented on some of our dog’s little quirks, which let us know she was truly spending quality time with her and not just stopping in. She was always on time, kept our home very clean, and even checked to see if we needed more of our dog’s food thawed. We also appreciated that she told us not to worry about responding right away so we could enjoy our vacation. She gave us complete peace of mind, and we highly recommend her!

Anahid was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful dog sitter.

Hong was great! I had a last minute booking request and I have never used her before so I was a bit nervous. She also doesn’t speak English so I wasn’t sure if it’ll go well. However, she used a Translation app and communication was not a problem at all. She made sure I was always up to date with how Roux was doing and made me feel so comfortable. I always felt like I knew what Roux was doing. I highly recommend her!

I cannot say enough about Brittany. Our dog is not the most easiest to warm up to but she won him over in a very short amount of time. She took an amazing care of him, kept us updated and showed so much love and kindness to our Doggy.. I highly highly recommend her!!

We hired Jasmine to house/pet sit while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and cat. She is very reliable and attentive, providing consistent communication with photos and video updates. She even went above and beyond by sweeping our floors! Our dogs are very high energy and Jasmine provided them with more than enough playtime. She clearly loves animals! Our dogs were well cared for and happy they got to have her very cute dogs as playmates! I feel she is someone we can trust with our animals and we already hired her for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Jasmine!!
