About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, cuddles, and overnight care. Whether your dog is high-energy and ready to explore or more of a couch-nap professional, I make sure they get exactly the care and attention they need. I have been working remote full time for the past 5 years with a very flexible schedule. Looking to spend more time outside the home with furry friends. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest stay consistent so pets feel comfortable and secure.
“My wife and I were in a pinch and needed to find someone trustworthy to provide drop-in visits for our 4 month old puppy during the day. We were honestly a little nervous using Rover but Vanessa quickly put all our worries to rest. We appreciate her constant communication with us as well as her overflowing affection for our pup during her visits! She’s amazing.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to have Jennifer sit on our cats over the holiday period. She was incredibly flexible when there was a need to drop in one day earlier, and she went the extra mile many times for our cats. She took care of the house as well and followed all our instructions to the tee. She also sent us very detailed and regular updates and was always available to answer questions and flexible enough for what we needed. We would absolutely hire her back for our future trips, thank you so much!”

“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”

About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.

About: I feed my 4 years old French Bulldog Lovebug. I gave a bath to her. She likes walking and hanging out with me and my wife Eileen For daytime like feeding breakfast and dinner, take a dog for a walk for 30 minutes , give them a bath once in a while, playtime I have a fenced yard in the backyard . Play inside and outside . I have a nice place for the dog to play around inside
About: My best friend was a beautiful Pitbull which crossed over the rainbow bridge in 2021. After loosing my pup I decided to open my heart and home to taking care of your pup. Dogs leave "pawprints in your heart" which can never be replaced. I would love to help care for your pup & watch them like they are my baby as this is how I see them as they count on us to take care of them. Consider me your fur baby sitter! I’ll walk your babies around the neighborhood, park and/or take them for a car ride. I will have them next to me as much a possible. I’m a professional photographer so I work about 80% from home, you can be sure you will receive a lot of photos & videos from me. We have a huge back yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. A clean environment with cameras and double gates to keep your pup safe. Every pup is unique and I focus on their specific needs. I let them roam free and sleep in our rooms so they know they are safe with us. You may request your pup to be the only one in our home, I'm more than happy to accommodate your baby's needs. *If this is your first time with Rover please use code: JOHANC40598 to receive $20 off your booking. Please note 20% of my fee is automatically deducted to cover Rover fees. I'm a photographer and only leave for a few hours at a time, I’m home about 80% of the time, your pup will hardly ever be alone. We like to keep your pup as close to us as possible and cuddle with them. Our home is double gated with security cameras. We dedicate time to paying attention and getting to know them. When we go to your home we like to go see it and go over the rules you have and routine for your pup.
“This was Jackie's second time caring for Chubbs while my husband and I were away, and once again we are so appreciate and happy. Jackie is kind and communicates regularly. Chubbs is a senior dog, and Jackie is patient and provides the individual care Chubbs needs. Jackie is our go-to caretaker. We are very thankful to know her. ”

“I’m happy with Aileen work with the cats... I will surely keep her in mind next time! I’m really happy that there’s an App like rover ! It’s much more convenient than sending these cats to a boarding place where there’s no personal touch..”

“Stephanie was amazing as always! She is always on time, make sure my dog safe during walks+ knows how to handle a big dog, very nice and friendly with dogs. Tony immediately liked Stephanie! Highly highly recommend Stephan!”

About: What sets me apart is over 6 years of hands-on, diverse pet care experience—ranging from playful puppies to senior dogs, cats, bunnies, and reptiles like Leopard Geckos and Iguanas. I specialize in working with dogs who have separation anxiety, using calming routines, gradual desensitization, and structured care to help them feel secure and relaxed. I also have extensive experience in puppy training, including housebreaking, basic commands, and proper socialization to build confidence and good behavior from an early age. I’ve worked with a wide range of dog breeds and sizes—including large and gentle giants—and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. My involvement with my aunt’s dog rescue has deepened my understanding of dogs in transition or high-stress situations, teaching me how to provide calm, consistent care for pets adjusting to new environments. In addition to my behavioral experience, I’m passionate about animal welfare and safety. I prioritize a secure home environment—ensuring doors and windows are closed, leashes and harnesses are properly fitted, and crates are used when needed. I follow any safety instructions you provide and treat your pet like family, building trust through reliable, loving care. My ability to adapt to different species, behaviors, and needs, along with my focus on emotional well-being and routine, helps me stand out as a sitter who truly understands what it means to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable in your absence. As a college student with classes only two days a week and online coursework that I manage on my own schedule, I have the flexibility to provide consistent and personalized pet care throughout the week. I also work just a few hours Thursday through Saturday, which still leaves plenty of time for daytime or evening pet care. This flexible routine allows me to tailor my availability around each pet’s needs—whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m comfortable supporting a variety of energy levels, from relaxed companionship for senior pets to active play and exercise for high-energy dogs. My experience with pets of all ages helps me adapt easily, and I take pride in creating routines that make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I will ensure that the environment is dog- and puppy-proofed, making certain that all doors are securely closed. I will also confirm that there are no toxic plants or foods accessible to the pets. Additionally, I will ensure that harnesses and leashes are properly secured. If crating is necessary, please inform me in advance so I can accommodate this when I leave. If there are any other safety measures you would like me to implement, please let me know.
“We are so pleased with the care Haley provided for Lacey and Lulu! She spent quality time with the pups in addition to feeding and cleaning up after them. She sent some great photos and we could see how comfortable Lacey and Lulu were with Haley. We will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Aimee, and I’m a part-time design student who loves animals. From walking Bullmastiffs to Yorkshire Terriers, I’ve had two years of dogwalking/sitting experience of all ages and sizes. Because I’m currently a part-time student, I cannot entirely commit to one myself...just yet. But that gives me more of a reason to being a walker/sitter because I’ll be able to interact with dogs/cats and shower them with love as if they were my own. I’ve also experienced dog walking in Boston and New York, but I recently moved back to California in September and have been walking dogs in Orange County since then. So if you’re looking for a sitter/walker, I can assure you that I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own and give them with the best love and care they deserve!

About: I am punctual and reliable. I’ll take care of your fur baby or babies as if they were mine. I will also respect your wishes I have a full time job but I am available early mornings or afternoons. If you are not far and need me to check in during my lunch break I can totally do that! I have a large balcony where my two cats usually hang out. I also have 2 miniature poodles. They are the sweetest! They will have fun
Harbor Gateway pet parents share their Rover experiences
As others have written, one couldn't ask for a more organized, responsible and gentle caregiver. My pup had a stomach infection and so there were added needs (meds and rinse off's) that made this sit more challenging than usual and Anastasiia approached the whole thing with kindness and great capability that allowed me to go to work and not worry! Thank you!! Won't be the last time you get a call from us!

We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.

Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!

Kristine is my first hire from Rover. Honestly i am nervous leaving my furry kids just to anyone but after reading all the good reviews about Kristine i gave in and tried her. Kristine went above and beyond to take care of them, she’s very patient in winning my Carson’s trust, Carson is very protective and territorial. She made sure they potty, they were fed and walked.. she played with them too. I highly recommend Kristine to take care of your furry babies.
