“This is the second time we have used Hector to care for our fur babies. As always he was so kind and loving. Above all he was very communicative and kept us in the loop throughout their entire stay. I love being updated on their walks and the “ and now we r napping and watching the news” messages. Thank you again hector. We appreciate you :)”

“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”


“Ashley was so accommodating last minute for help to watch my German Shepherd. She came out happy and smelled so good!! Her kids even got To love on my dog. I would recommend Ashley anytime.”

About: Have had animals my whole life and grew up on a ranch and currently I am a dog mom to a super big friendly 110 pound Anatolian Shepherd. I am great with reactive dogs and larger breeds as well as small breeds. As a new mom, I am currently trying to walk as much as possible, and would love to take all of your furbabies on walks. I am available weekdays and weekends and have an extremely flexible schedule, it would be my pleasure to treat your fur baby to some fresh California air! I live in a large three-story loft that has plenty of roaming space with my super friendly dog named blue. We have immediate outdoor access for potty time.
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!
“Rebecca hosted doggy day care for our 2-year old golden retriever, Bella, and Bella had the best day! She made new friends and was exhausted when she got home. Rebecca is INCREDIBLE at providing updates, I heard from her every 2-3 hours which put me so much at ease, and it was great to see how much fun Bella was having! Rebecca, thank you so much for your attentive care, we will definitely have Bella come back!”

About: I am reliable dependable and love animals so much you will never have to worry because I treat animals like they were my own kids. I have experience with animals for 10 years and I used to work as a groomer so I know how to handle dogs and cats in a safe and calm manner. Animals are my passion and my reason for living they make everyday a brighter one for me. I know that working with pets is my dream come true. I always treat each pet like my own. I work around the pets needs first before mine. I will be there for the pet every minute. Does not apply at the moment but future reference i will update when i am able to sit dogs or cats at my home again thanks

“My dog Birdie loves Leilani! She gets so excited to pull up to her home on daycare days! I can tell she is made to feel comfortable and at home on days that I work all day. :-)”

“Derek took exceptional care of my pup. She got to go for walks and play. She was happy and content when she came back home. Communication is excellent. Derek is also very accommodating to scheduling and care needs. Best care we’ve had for my pup. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. Whenever I am needs, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes. As long as you give me some ample time, I will make my schedule work for you! I live with my dog in my apartment but my husband and I always make sure to take her out for walks, play with her, and take her to the dog park to help keep her fit. For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.
“Karla was great with our little Harley. Luckily we were able to get Karla to watch Harley last minute due to an emergency. Will use her again if we’re ever down in OC.”

“Nancy and Richard were great sitters. They took the time to learn about Luna and understand she’s still a puppy. She was completely comfortable with them. Will keep them as favorites!”


“Samantha did a great job dog sitting for our mini Aussie at her home. She took Lila on frequent walks and sent pictures throughout the day to let us know our girl was doing great. Samantha was flexible with hours and worked with us to schedule drop offs and pick ups that worked for both of us. Could tell Samantha was very affectionate and provided ample attention. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a person to care for their precious dog.”

“I have consistently had great experiences with Avancon!. From the very beginning, they made our puppy feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. Our pup can be a little shy and unsure around new people and dogs, but their patience and kindness truly made all the difference. What impressed us most was how they helped our pup gradually get used to playing with other dogs. They were thoughtful about introductions and made sure every interaction was positive and stress-free. My puppy is not only more confident but actually super excited to get there and socialize! He literally jumps out of my arms to get into their house lol We receive updates, photos, and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It is clear that he is being well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitter. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and help them grow socially and emotionally, this is the place. We are beyond grateful and will continue to be clients.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets of all kinds—from playful dogs to cats, rabbits to birds of all kinds, other small animals and fish. I make sure each one feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to give every pet the same affection and attention they’d get at home. I am an older adult, retired registered nurse, animal lover who has an open schedule and a big heart ready to dedicate to pet sitting Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of my pet care. I’m dedicated to providing a secure and nurturing environment, whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine. I follow all care instructions carefully, respect your home and privacy, and create a calm space where pets can feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: Dogs have always been a part to my life since I was little. My current boy is a sweet and gentle rescue from Korea. I live in a spacious townhome with a backyard so your dog will have plenty of attention and space to run around. Finding the right person is the most important part, so from walking to pet sitting, I am a patient, compassionate, and knowledgable choice. If you have specific instructions for your dog, I always make it my priority to review carefully and follow precisely. Expect lots of photo and video updates when you book with me😊 Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and love being able to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship. I only take one Rover client at a time (alongside my dog Prince), so your pup will get lots of care and undivided attention. Prince is very friendly and social, so your dog will have a sweet, playful buddy to keep them company too. I live in a spacious townhome with a fenced patio for safe outdoor breaks. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, secure space where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow your care instructions closely and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. If your dog has medications, supplements, or any special requirements, I’m extremely detail oriented and happy to accommodate. I set timers and stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind while you’re away.
Eastside dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Nancy and Rick! We dropped Freddie off early in the morning and picked him up mid-afternoon, and he came home so happy (and tired, which says everything 😅). They sent photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Freddie is still a high-energy puppy, and they were so patient and sweet with him — walks and all. We’re very grateful and glad that we found someone we can trust with our pup. We’d definitely book with them again in the future!

Derek did an amazing job of taking care of our super-anxious rescue pup. She usually doesn’t let anyone pet her easily but we were so glad to see how comfortable she was with Derek and his dog. He also sent timely updates with pictures/videos, gave some great feedback about our dog’s behaviour and shared some tips and tricks. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!

Yeting is an excellent dog sitter. She did an excellent job with my dog. She made my dog feel loved and less anxious. She made sure he had a good time throughout the day. I was grateful for her time and attention to my dog. I highly recommend that anyone have her! I am extremely fortunate that I chose her.

Our 3-year-old golden retriever, Bella, has been staying with Rebecca occasionally throughout the years and gets so excited and happy every time we arrive to Rebecca’s home! Bella gets a full day of play with other pups with all the love and care from Rebecca and Tom. Rebecca always provides update photos throughout the stay, which we always appreciate. She provides so much care to detail - from describing the dynamics between Bella and the pups, the activities she’s engaged in throughout the day, and so many photos - which we love! Always a great stay here, and we appreciate Rebecca and Tom so much.

Erik is fantastic!! He helped me out in a pinch when my dog with terrible separation anxiety also had a cough and couldn’t be around other dogs. He is very responsive and flexible, and a chill human that clearly helps my doggo chill out. I am so grateful to have someone reliable and responsive who gives me peace of mind while I work some long days. Will definitely book again with him soon! Also, his children are adorable and so kind to my little fur baby :).

Tobi had a great time with Marisela for doggy day care. He felt comfortable right away with her and had a great time meeting and interacting with her dog. Tobi got to go to the park and have a lot of fun with Marisela and her pup. Marisela was very proactive about asking questions regardinf how to care for Tobi. She was great at communicating and sent pictures of Tobi throughout his stay. Thank you, Marisela, for taking great care of Tobi.
