About: I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats for over 15 years. I’ve also provided house and pet-sitting services, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and other care needs. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and plenty of attention. Most importantly, I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
About: I've always lived with a dog, and by always I mean since I was born. I currently have a 12 year old pitbull that I've had since he was 3 WEEKS OLD! He is now a senior citizen, which has been my favorite phase thus far. I’ve had plenty of other dogs, and I get to know each dogs personality. Just like humans, every dog is different. Age and breed have a lot to do with it as well. I know that younger dogs require more energy to burn with play and walks, and senior dogs want to be included and require us to be patient with them. 🥹 regardless dogs make me happy, and would love to be the one to help take care of your fur babies because they have needs and feelings too. I'm currently working remotely at my own schedule, so for the time being, Im pretty much available any day of the week. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need or even last minute need to look after our pets. I will respect the rules of the pet owner's home and their preferences when it comes to taking care of their pet. I may give cool aunt energy, but I will always make sure that what parents say goes.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats of all personalities. With years of experience caring for pets (including my own chic, sassy tortie), I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. Im able to take walks throughout the day and adjust to different schedules. I live in a gated apartment complex with lots of grassy areas and sidewalks for break time. There are lots of other small dogs and cats in my complex who are friendly as well.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day. Although I'm new to offering pet care professionally, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.
About: I’ve house-sat for multiple dog owners over my life and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’ve yet to meet one I couldn’t make a friend out of. Whether it’s house sitting, dog walking, or just stopping in for a quick visit, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup. I have two dogs of my own that I walk daily, play with, and spend plenty of time with, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. I treat every dog like I would my own and always make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or any other specific instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’m also respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept secure and tidy.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been known as the animal lover in my family and friend group. I’ve had more than seven dogs of my own over the years, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also the person my friends and family call when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I’ve cared for multiple dogs in my home and have experience with potty training and teaching basic commands. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them outside, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m available during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in home and a clean, secure yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks. I keep a clean environment and make sure pets are supervised and have a comfortable space to relax. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Carolyn is great! She was always on time and friendly and took good care of Clover while also working on some things with him during their walks. I especially liked how she would play fetch with him as well as rollerblade alongside him!”
About: Hey! My name is Alyson and I’m ready to get your dog snoozing and waiting for your arrival. Been pet sitting for years!! I grew up around dogs, I had a black lab and after his passing I got two dogs, a Pyrenees and a Chihuahua mix… I’ve worked with it all.😅 I’ll have your dog tired out and snoozing in no time! I am free ALL SUMMER LONG! Anytime, anywhere, I’ll take good care of your fur baby. I can do morning, afternoons, evening, everything! Like I said I’m very open. It’s all your call! Need them to go for a walk? Wanna play ball? Just want to cuddle up? I’m here for it.
“Yolanda was so good to Archie and Millie! She was communicative and sent pictures. She went above and beyond. They seemed very calm and happy in her presence. We've already booked for more walks. 🐶”
About: I love animals, and have a very large fenced in yard perfect for pets. We live in a very safe neighborhood on a Cul-De-Sac with sidewalks and very close to the Esplanade Trail, which is perfect for dog walks. I am a stay at home Mom and my husband works from home so there is almost always someone there to give your pet lots of love and attention. Your dog will always sleep in doors, and I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever special requests you might have. I am very faithful to text pictures everyday of your pooch. I have three kids 9 to 13 who are very responsible and have boundless energy to play with your pet. I have had all kinds of animals in my care for years so I have a lot of experience. For years now we have dog sat, and walked neighbors and friends dogs and cats for free so we thought we would try out Rover to make a bit of extra money. We are honest and kind and are eager to love your pet when you are not able to.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals, especially dogs, since I was 9. I love animals and have sat for various types of pets— occasionally I will also get help from my lovely boyfriend. I’m currently a student attending college and I love animals. I’m super flexible and can find time on any days needed if it is possible. If needed, I can request an extra set of hands, my boyfriend, to help at no cost to you. I have 2 dogs that I care for on a daily basis. I feed them twice a day, the same time, every day. I make sure they get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and give them baths once a week.
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
“Hayden was wonderful! He was friendly, communicative, and took great care of my dog. I really appreciated the updates and felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Hayden again!”
About: I grew up in a house that always had animals. Dogs, cats, and a stream of injured wildlife my dad brought home to nurse back to health, including a baby deer and a raccoon. We even had gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, and fish. Caring for animals has been part of daily life from the time I was born. I’ve lived with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dogs; as well as energetic breeds like Australian Shepherds, Chows, and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs and strong personalities. Family members with smaller dogs regularly relied on me for care, and for the past ten years I’ve house- and dog-sat for an elderly family friend. I’m attentive, patient, and observant, especially with animals that are nervous, aging, or need a calm presence. As a large, steady person, I’m confident handling big dogs on walks and in new situations, and I’m just as comfortable providing gentle, consistent care for smaller pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my days from home. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and regular check-ins throughout the day. This allows me to be consistent, present, and flexible with visits, walks, or overnight stays, and to give pets real attention rather than rushing through care. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the space they know. I follow their established routine closely with feeding, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and regular attention. I keep the home tidy, watch for behavior changes, and keep owners updated. With my own cats, I manage specialized diets, daily litter and cleaning, social time, and close observation of their health and behavior. I’ve cared for some of them from birth and have also supported pets through illness and end-of-life stages. That experience carries into how I care for every animal: patient, attentive, and respectful of their comfort and needs.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal friendships and family obligations, and have also owned two dogs of my own; I have a strong affection for dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently not working, which allows me to devote ample time to caring for your dog(s) and providing them with the love and attention they require while in my care. I reside in a secure apartment complex that features gated access, ensuring constant supervision for your pets during walks. Additionally, there is a spacious grassy area where they can freely run and play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Modena
Sydney has been amazing with our baby! Our dog is getting old, and needs some extra care. Sydney stayed with him each time to make sure he had all his meds, his care, even hand fed him to make sure he was good and happy. I cannot be more thankful for Sydney who cared for him more than expected.
Mia took excellent care of my dog Raiken when she came to check on him and let him out while I was at work. It’s obvious Mia is an animal lover with a lot of experience being around pets and caring for them which is so comforting as a pet owner. She is also a great communicator and very responsible. I will absolutely have Mia back again and I know Raiken can’t wait to see her! Thank you Mia!
Rylan, thank you so much for walking Bruno, he had a wonderful time! Bruno says, "Thanks for letting me stop and snuffle, that's the best part of walking!" I also appreciate that Rylan started walking Bruno a little early, since Bruno and I arrived at the park a little early. 😎👍🏻
Nao did an amazing job walking our dog, Morty. She was prompt with great communication and she was able to take our request on short notice around the holidays. Morty really liked her and we got so many cute photos of the walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nao again!
