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.

I am patient with shy or anxious pets and can also support households where Spanish communication is preferred. I take pride in being dependable and treating every pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week depending on your needs. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins, and I’m happy to work around routines to make sure your pet stays comfortable and cared for. I make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their home environment by following their normal routines and respecting their space. I focus on gentle, attentive care and clear communication with owners to ensure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

Tessa is an amazing addition to our weekly routine. She is very communicative and reliable. My dog is very shy and slow to warm, but he has been easily won over by Tessa’s care and consistency. I do not have to worry if my dog is safe or able to go outside, due to Tessa’s drop-in services.

About: Always been a dog lover all my life. After pandemic I have experience with dog rescues and transporting animals out of shelters to their fosters and rescue base. I have also taken them to vet appointments and dog/cat sat and baby sat for over 10 years. I work full time and weekends I stay home. When it comes to animals as soon as I see them wake up I take them out. I try to take dogs out 4 or more times a day.

She is a patient and gentle cat sitter with a solid understanding of pet care. She is also willing to handle more complex requests when caring for cats. I was concerned about my cat’s dental health, as I had not been able to check my cat’s back teeth myself, but she was able to handle it well. Going forward, if my cat shows any minor discomfort, it is reassuring to know that I may be able to seek her advice and get helpful reference information before deciding whether a vet visit is necessary. very nice experience

About: Pet care based in Orange County 🤍 Experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and pets that need a little extra structure. Happy to follow your pet’s routine walks, feeding, meds, playtime, or anything that helps them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. You’ll get always get regular updates and photos, and I’m always easy to reach if you have questions. A great fit for pet parents who want someone dependable, caring, and animal loving 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I have a dog of my own, so walks, playtime, and structured care are already part of my day. Morning walks are a must to let out energy, followed by afternoon and evening walks as well. Between walks, there’s lots of time for play, feeding, and one-on-one attention to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because this is already my normal routine, giving consistent care throughout the day comes naturally! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety always comes first. I follow any instructions you leave closely, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medications, and house rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s using specific harnesses, keeping doors and gates secure, or sticking to a familiar routine, everything is done with your pet’s safety and comfort in mind. Clear communication is important, so updates and questions are always welcomed.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life, I’ve got baby pictures to present time with my pets. I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats! It’s a farmhouse but we love it :) One of those dogs is my baby named Bella, she’s a super energetic and cuddly black Yorkie mix who’s 6 years old now. Growing up I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian but didn’t realize how expensive it would be so I never fully went to be a doctor but I do still have experience working in animal hospitals. I know the basic wants and needs for your pets and will be more than happy to give them that🤗 I work 10-5 Monday through Friday, off on the weekends so if you ever need me in those gaps I have, give me a holler! I live in a very spacious home but unfortunately am not allowed to have any more pets than the ones we have now, but we do always have at least one person at home to watch the babies and always have our back door gates closed as well as our front door.

Yichen was the first sitter I booked on Rover, and she completely exceeded my expectations. I feel really lucky to have found her right away. She took such thoughtful and attentive care of my cat — not just feeding, but also spending time playing and keeping him company. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. My cat was happy and relaxed the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I would absolutely book Yichen again!

Mable is the cat whisperer! I am so please with Mable and am happy to have found a trustworthy person who can check in on my very shy sensitive senior cat when I’m away. My cat actually came out to say hi to her and even ate in front of her (which is extremely rare). Mable provided a detailed report and many photos of my cat when I was away which was sooo sweet and unexpected. I highly recommend Mable and I will definitely be booking with her again.
