About: Hi! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 I've spent over six years working professionally with animals in both veterinary hospitals and pet care facilities, so caring for pets isn't just something I enjoy, it's what I've built my career around. I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital and Wagly Pet Campus, where I gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. My background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, pet safety, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive interactions are, and I always treat every pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. In 2023, I lost my beloved cat to heart disease. He was my best friend, and losing him reminded me just how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. While nothing could ever replace him, caring for other animals has been incredibly healing for me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and being able to give them affection, exercise, and companionship is one of the most rewarding parts of my day. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always treat your dog like family, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's personality and energy level. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or just wants a caring companion while you're away, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a work-from-home mom and I schedule walks during the quiet parts of my day. I enjoy walking and being outside, and it’s so much better with a furry friend. I don’t plan to board any animals at this time in my home. This may change in the future, but not as of right now.

About: Hi! I’m Jing — CPA and also a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a dog and a cat. I’ve had my dachshund for over three years, and I also cared for my cat for two years, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, personalities, and routines of both species. With dogs, I’m patient and attentive, especially with small breeds like dachshunds that need extra back support and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with walks, enrichment, feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on behavior. With cats, I understand how to read their body language, keep their environment calm, and follow their preferred pace — whether they want cuddles or space. I’m experienced with litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping shy cats feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m fully working remotely with flexible schedules. So I will give your pet enough attention and play time. Can’t wait to make some quality memories for your baby! I live in apartment with dog park nearby. Easy to go out for walk and have sunbath on the balcony as well. I am experienced with meal prep and necessary medical needs. Please just let me know!

About: My whole life I’ve always had a passion for animals and taking care of them would be a dream to me. Pets light up my world and inspire me with their unique personalities. I am available to work around schedules and am free to work whenever as of now. Preferably any time after 10 am will work best for me. I am also available on weekends. I always show animals love and affection and make sure their needs are met. I am good at knowing what they need and picking up on their signs.

“Jasmin is wonderful. She watched my dog Malbec while I was on a weeklong trip. She sent us updates and great pictures every day being so easy to coordinate with as well. Thank you so much for sharing some love to our furry baby those Xmas days.”

About: I have a veterinary background with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree earned in another country, and I currently work as a Kennel Technician / Animal Care staff member at a veterinary clinic, with 3 years of hands-on experience. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and ferrets. My daily responsibilities include feeding, walking, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and providing comfort and care to hospitalized animals. I also have experience administering medications safely under veterinary supervision. My clinical background helps me understand animal behavior, health needs, and stress signals, allowing me to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic as a Kennel Technician, and I am available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I regularly book walks and visits on my days off and keep my weekend schedule organized to provide consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, calm handling, and a low-stress environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain routines to keep pets comfortable and secure during care. With my veterinary clinic background and experience as a Kennel Technician, I am confident handling pets of all temperaments, including those needing extra patience or medical care, and can administer medications when instructed.

About: Hi! I recently rejoined Rover after settling into the OC area over the past couple of years. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, with a 2.5-year-old pup, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I’ve spent the past few years taking care of friends’ dogs, but had to step away because work had me traveling constantly. Now that I’m no longer traveling for work, I’m excited to get back to something I’ve always enjoyed — spending time with dogs and helping other pet parents out. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have always loved having dogs around. I’m the type who will happily play with them, teach them a few tricks, or take them on a nice long walk. I also love getting my steps in, so keeping your dog active is a win-win! If your pup loves walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, I’d love to meet them! I’m available for dog walking and dog sitting Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I have a flexible schedule during those hours and can provide plenty of time, attention, playtime, and exercise for your pup. I take dogs’ safety and health absolutely the priority. I’m happy to work with clients for their individual needs on it. If clients do have certain safety concerns, please communicate so their dogs can be in the best preferred environment as much as possible.

“Great experience with Jessica; she was on time, a good communicator and very good with my big somewhat unruly dog! I explained his idiosyncrasies and she was able to handle them. I'll be calling her back to help out soon!”

About: A lifelong animal lover and your new reliable pet sitter. Im available for drop in care/walks, overnights and dog park trips. I am comfortable providing medications and working within strict dietary guidelines. I have a 13 year old terrier mutt named Jack, he's the sweetest boy and will stay with my adult son when I'm tending to the overnight care of your pet(s). My hobbies include reading, yoga, spending time with my family and learning how to sew! I currently work part time as a yoga instructor. Most of my classes are in the evening. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of your pets care! When I arrive into your home, I immediately greet the pet(s), having them sniff me and gauge if they want any pets. I'll spend time with the pets if they are ready/willing. From there I'll tend to water, litter box and come back to direct cuddles and play. If your pet is very cuddly, I'll spend as much time as they need during an overnight stay cuddling and giving pets.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud Doberman mom, caring for dogs is something that is genuinely personal and meaningful to me. I have 6 years of experience dog walking and dog sitting, along with years of experience caring for dogs in my own family. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s small dogs, and now I have firsthand experience caring for my own large dog. Because of this, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, needs, and comfort level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care because I experience that same feeling whenever I entrust someone with my own dog. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their dog is being treated with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to keep them comfortable while you’re away, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and love being able to make time for pets! My availability can change from week to week depending on my work schedule, but my weekdays are typically very open, especially during the daytime. Feel free to reach out! My typical availability: * Monday: Available after 11 AM * Tuesday–Friday: Typically very flexible, with the most availability during the daytime * Weekends: Usually available during the day; evening availability varies depending on my work schedule * Evenings: Often available during the week, with weekend evenings depending on work I’m currently in school for nursing, so I set aside time for studying, and I also work part-time at a brewery with a schedule that varies each week. Because of this, advance notice is always appreciated! It helps me plan around school and work and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows, so please feel free to reach out even if you need someone on shorter notice. I’m always happy to see if I can make it work! I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime house sitting. I’m also willing to travel throughout Orange County to care for your pets. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care because I feel the same way with my own dog, Jade. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable knowing their baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. How my care for your pet is unique: * Getting to know them: I love learning about your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. * Following their routine: I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, treats, playtime, and any special care they may need. * Respecting their personality: Every pet is different. Some are ready to be best friends right away, while others need a little time to warm up. I’m patient and let each pet get comfortable with me at their own pace. * Prioritizing safety: I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could potentially put your pet at risk. I never want to take unnecessary chances with their safety. * Respecting your home: When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their things organized, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. * Keeping you informed: Communication is really important to me. In my previous dog-walking and sitting experience, I’ve made a habit of leaving a printed visit summary after each visit. I fill out the appropriate details, including whether your pet ate, potty details, treats given, the duration of the walk, and an overall description of how the visit went. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can see your pet while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals—not simply someone stopping by to check a box. I know how reassuring it is to receive those little updates when you’re away from your pet, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety always come first.

“Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

Tanya R.

“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I previously fostered dogs, which gave me experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and needs. I’m a dog mom to two pups, Bailey and Baby, who truly are my whole world! I work full-time, but my love for animals is what brought me back to Rover. I wanted to spend more of my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets because I feel the exact same way about mine. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or a stay in my home, I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work hybrid which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. I love spending my free time with animals and already make daily walks, exercise, and playtime a priority with my own dogs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding stays depending on my schedule. I’m always happy to communicate with pet parents to make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I live in an apartment with my two dogs, Bailey, an energetic and playful Golden Retriever, and Baby, a tiny Chihuahua. I only accept one guest dog at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. I prefer to arrange a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat their space with the same respect and care as my own.

About: My journey as a pet caretaker began in childhood, I was the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they needed someone to care for their dogs. My approach is grounded in understanding each dog’s unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes, sharing the joy of exploring nature together. However, I recognize that not all dogs are hikers, so I adapt our activities to their comfort and capability. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I am committed to providing them with the extra care they deserve. As a dedicated pet sitter and part-time student who genuinely loves spending time with animals, my flexible schedule allows me to provide pet care services tailored to meet the needs of your beloved pets. I organize my schedule to ensure your pets receive consistent, loving attention. Whether it's a quick drop-in during a study break or an extended weekend of boarding, I am committed to offering top-notch care. I have a fenced side and back yard. A door is attached at the end of side yard and can not easily be jumped if you have a jumper. I have turf grass and some real grass at a park less than a 2 minute walk. I have patio furniture that has been used to catch some sun rays and relax - definitely dog friendly. Big tile living room to play and couches to jump on. Your pets become a part of my family in a safe and nurturing environment while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Sharon and I would like to offer my services. Need extra paws with the walking? Need someone just to check in on them? Look no further. I have been caring for my own puppers for over twelve years and so I know the dos and don'ts. Your puppers (or cats) will be well loved and provided for in your absents. I also have two cats, Fishy (two year old) and Marshmallow (12 year old, who is my fiancee's cat). I work from home and I am available to make trips over to your home to keep an eye on your furry family member throughout the day. My fur babies are spoiled. I walk Kahuna throughout the day. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. My cat does her own thing until she wants to be feed, which she also is fed twice a day.

About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. Our dog was also VERY food motivated and would try to eat anything vaguely edible in the house. Because of this, we are still in the habit of keeping all foods out of pet-reach, including in the kitchen, purses/bags, and trash cans. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. Additionally, I live with my pet-loving parents, who both work from home. This means that there’s rarely an occasion where your pup will be left by themself! I have a 2 story pet-free home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available. I only host 1 client at a time in my home (1 or 2 dogs from the same household). This means your pets will get my full attention, and there won’t be any issues with reactive 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)
