“Caroline watched Indy over the Thanksgiving holiday and we could not be happier with how well she treated our pup and our home. She was super responsive, sent photos and updates every day, and we will absolutely book her again in the future. Thanks Caroline!”
“Alison did great with our dog Lola! She took her on long walks, sent us pictures throughout the day, and we even came home to a clean house, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Alison to watch over your pets”
“Tiffany was very responsive. Very friendly and comfortable with our 65lbs dog. Went on an hour walk morning and afternoon and seemed to genuinely enjoy our dog. She’s now on our short list of go-to dog sitters. Thank you Tiffany!”
“Emma was amazing! We already can’t wait to use her again. My girls are pretty shy but they warmed up so fast with her! She made them feel really comfortable and I can tell made them feel so loved. She sent a lot of updates and even washed the sheets and took out the trash before she left, she went above & beyond! Thank you Emma!”
“Viktoriia was such an amazing pet sitter for us over the holidays. She took great care of our 3 cats and dog while we were away for 6 days. Super reliable, responsive, and sent lots of updates and photos. Most importantly, all our pets loved her and she spent so much quality time with them. We are so lucky to have found her!! Thank you Viktoriia!!”
About: Hi! I'm a vet tech student at Cal Poly with full availability over the summer and tons of hands on experience with a variety of animals, big and small. I have a dog of my own and many other patients and clients I have loved and cared for like my own. I am trained in basic animal care and medicine, plus previous pet-sitting experience so I am well equiped for whatever needs your pet may have. I'm located in Orange County and able to drive. I have a very flexible schedule, full availability, and am always happy to make extra time to spend with your fur babies, I can't wait to meet them! My knowledge and experience in both pet-sitting and animal healthcare make me a trustworthy candidate to ensure your pet's safety and well-being. I am a very organized and detail oriented person, and I have prior experience in house-sitting and pet sitting. I'm happy to follow whatever directions you may leave, your pet is my first priority ❤️
“Jenae was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of our dog, Pootie, for five days and treated her like her own. She was attentive to Pootie’s needs, kept us updated with sweet photos and notes, and made sure she was happy and well-loved the entire time. On top of that, Jenae was so respectful and considerate of our home — everything was spotless when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
“We LOVE LAURA!!!!!!!! We have spoiled funny fur babies that we love soooo much. I get so anxious about leaving them and Laura shared with me daily all day with pics and updates. She takes the time to truly love on all her pups and I was able to relax completely the entire trip!!!!! I’m so grateful to know her now!!! I’m soooo grateful!! Thank you Laura We will see you again soon❤️❤️”
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
“I highly recommend Janet! She watched my home and 4 dogs while we were away for 3 days for my son’s wedding. She is incredibly reliable, professional, and went above and beyond to take care of everything. She will now be my go-to sitter. Thank you Janet!!”
“Great communication ahead of arrival and great with our dogs so we can break away and get some dinner for a date night. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Hoai plays calming music for her and makes suggestions to help. Thanks Hoai!”
“We completely trust Kaitlyn to care for our special-needs Ragdoll. She is consistent and detailed about giving our cat his medications, and she gives him extra attention and love, which gives us peace of mind whenever we’re out of town. When we return home, it’s clear that both our cat and our home have been well cared for.”
“Kaitlin was wonderful and is a great communicator! She sent us a picture of the dogs while we were gone which we really appreciated! Looking forward to our next booking and will continue to book with her in the future. :)”
About: Hi! I'm Faith, and I offer loving, dependable pet sitting for dogs and other pets. With 10 years of experience caring for and walking animals, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping routines consistent—so your pet feels calm, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm attentive, responsible, and always make sure you're kept updated during each visit. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am not currently working and have a flexible schedule. My plan is to start veterinary assistant program which allows me to continue learning about animal health and care while remaining available for pet sitting. I have a secured fenced yard and care for my senior cat, who requires specialized food and subcutaneous fluids twice weekly. Managing his medical needs has given me valuable experience with attentive, consistent care and reinforced the importance of patience, observation, and following detailed instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are in capable hands.
Galivan pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have had Kaitlyn watch our very aloof Rhodesian Ridgeback and two cats twice now and she has been amazing with them. Our dog is slow to warm up and she handled her with such love and was able to make friends with her by the end of the stay. She was very capable with waking our 95lb dog as well. The cats all loved her too! One of our cats is very skittish and even she loved Kaitlyn. Our home was well cared for as well. She communicated any issues (our house is old lol and there’s always something) and gave us pet updates. I would highly recommend hiring Kaitlyn.
Caroline was very attentive to our puppy and helped ease our minds as new dog parents so we could step out and enjoy an evening to ourselves. She kept Aero busy with toy playtime and sent us constant updates which we appreciated. We came home to a happy relaxed puppy which is all we could hope for! Will definitely use Caroline’s sitting services again. Thank you!
Chelsea was wonderful!! Had some last minute changes and she was super flexible. She sent tons of updates and was able to easily handle 3 dogs for the weekend. It is obvious she gave them lots of attention as they were worn out when we get back, would book her again!!
Robert took incredible care of our home and our 4 dogs, 2 cats, turtle, and gecko. The house looked just as we left it and he updated us with photos while we were gone. I felt so comfortable while away which says a lot. I would definitely use Robert again! Highly recommend!
Nikki was absolutely amazing with our dog Otto! From the meet and greet she came over and met him and learned his schedule to a tee! She took him on so many long walks and adventures, and went above and beyond to make sure he had a great time and get a ton of love while we were away! She even sewed one of his toys he had ripped up. You can tell she truly loves animals, and did the best job with our boy, who loves getting a lot of exercise! We felt like he was in the best hands and she kept us updated the entire time with so many pictures and videos, which was so very nice. Nikki is the absolute best!
Thank you to Laura for making sure our Bailey girl was well taken care of! Laura is wonderful! She constantly communicated with messages and photos, which was so greatly appreciated and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Laura was so patient with Bailey, spent a lot of one on one time with her and was really attentive to her needs. Will definitely be calling upon Laura again in the future!
Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.
