“My dog had the absolute best time with her. I was worried at first he might feel timid, but they made sure he had a safe heaven at their home. I got plenty of updates, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for caring for Loki!”
“Connie was awesome, she sent a lot of pictures of Nacho during the stay and the communication was great all the time. Nacho had a great time with Connie and I highly recommend her! I’ll book again for sure!”
“Jesslyn was very attentive and caring to Ella. We appreciated her frequent updates and good communication. We were reassured that Ella was left in great hands.”
“We had never left Coco with anyone, this was her first and we were very worried but from the interview to meet us, Coco's response with Patricia was excellent, so it gave us confidence to try to do this. The attention he gave to our Baby was excellent at all times, he let us know the behavior with photos and messages to be calm. We recommend it.”
“Chungin accommodated us for a very last minute booking and took such wonderful care of Bailey. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day and helped put our mind at ease. Looking forward to booking again!”
“Ana is really experienced with dogs and it shows. I felt comfortable knowing Copper was in great care with her. She is very understanding and took care of Copper well. It looked like he had a great time too. Thank you Ana and her family.”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Zohreh was so amazing! She is so kind, patient, and understanding. Very communicative, appreciated all of the updates and pictures! My dogs were really happy, will definitely book again.”
“Roscoe and I are so lucky we found Sarah and Noah! They were wonderful, communicative, and friendly. Most of all, they have excellent experience with senior dogs who may need a bit more patience and TLC. I felt confident that Roscoe was being lovingly cared for during his overnight stay. We can't wait to hang out with them again!”
“Charlene and her mom showed Trixie a lot of care and we could tell Trixie enjoyed being with them since Trixie was wagging her tail so much around them at pick up. They sent photos and videos every day so we could see how comfortable she was the whole weekend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 20 years. We were a dog foster family for a year until we failed completely and adopted our dog. Recently trained puppy last year. Our dog is super friendly. Your dog must be good with children. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love. I take my own dog to the park often, so I’m used to making exercise and outdoor time part of our daily routine. Boarding dogs will have opportunities for walks, play, and potty breaks as needed based on their individual routine and energy level. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable, active, and happy while they’re staying with us, while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. When your pet stays in my home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they are part of our family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout their stay. I’ll take your dog on daily walks and give them plenty of time to enjoy our yard, where they can safely roam, explore, and play. I also have a friendly pet of my own who can be a fun playmate for dogs who enjoy companionship. My kids absolutely love animals and enjoy helping care for dogs, so your pet will have lots of loving attention and interaction. I’ll also make sure each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs are respected. My goal is for every pet who stays with us to have a happy, fun, and comfortable home-away-from-home experience while you’re away!
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
“Melanie was amazing! She took such great care of our wild, spunky Frenchie and made us feel totally at ease. She sent us updates throughout his stay and spoiled him with so many toys and lots of love! We’re so thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Milo! While we were away for three days, Cie made us feel completely at ease with regular updates, photos, and videos. It was such a relief knowing Milo was not only well cared for, but also genuinely enjoying himself. She worked her magic to help Milo get along beautifully with Hari and Megan, which made the whole experience even more special. She also shared some helpful tips and recommendations for leash pulling and other little concerns she noticed. I highly recommend Cie and will definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Cal & Susie were super great taking care of Hubble on multiple visits. Our dog loves being around people, and it's clear their family looked after him as if Hubble was their own. They sent us lots of photos while we were away, and are super helpful with coordinating dropoffs and pickups around the complexities of travel.”
“Debborah was an amazing dog sitter to my fur baby Disco. I liked our communication and I liked receiving pictures of Disco. My dog enjoyed playing with all the dog toys that were available. I’m sure Disco enjoyed the companionship of Debborah’s sweet little dog “Snoop”. Thank you so much Debborah for Disco’s parting gift! You are very thoughtful and I really appreciate you taking care of Disco.”
“We are so happy to have found Nathan and Paula as pet sitters! They took such great care of our dog. We will definitely be looking them up again the next time we need a pet sitter. It's such peace of mind knowing our dog is well taken care while we are out of town and unable to take her with us.”
“KJ did an amazing job boarding my 12 year old dog, Morty, for 2 nights. He’s usually a very anxious dog but she made sure he was calm and happy. She took him for frequent walks and sent lots of photos and videos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again”
“Rommel looked after our dog for the second time, and once again Oscar had a fantastic time. He came back home happy and well cared for. Rommel kept us updated every day with videos, which gave us great peace of mind. He also provided pick-up and drop-off service, making everything so convenient. Overall, the service was excellent, very flexible with timings, and highly professional. Thank you to Rommel and his family for taking such great care of Oscar while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!”

I’m so thankful to Hanah and Dabin for taking such great care of Zoom! I was really worried about leaving him, but their photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. I’m sure Zoom had a wonderful time staying with them. He got to play with Evan and the other dogs, and even went on a fun trip to the dog park! I would absolutely book with Hanah and Dabin again the next time I need a sitter for Zoom. Highly recommend them!
Hyo yi was so great. I book boarding after my puppy had surgery and she was so kind and caring sending updates everyday. Then I booked a week with her and was at peace knowing my puppy was in good hands while I had to travel for work. She has a cat and it was good training to get my puppy comfortable around cats too.
Laura was amazing and we are so happy she was able to watch our puppies! This was our first time boarding so we weren’t sure how it worked or what to expect. She was very kind and made our dogs feel welcomed, and sent us many pictures and videos with updates on how they were doing. Our puppies were very well taken care of and it is obvious from the pictures and videos that they had a great time! From a dog adventure day to special doggy bandanas Laura went above and beyond while taking care of our boys! We will definitely be utilizing her services in the future! Thank you so much again Laura!
Connie was a fantastic sitter. This was my first time boarding my pup and that along with her recovering from surgery…I was very nervous with leaving her for an extended amount of time. Connie did everything to give me reassurance. She provided ample updates and photos, and also had the experience to take care of my dog and some of her specific needs. Maggie had a wonderful time
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Sitter! Highly Recommend! Kristina was absolutely amazing! This was my first time having her watch Alec, and I can confidently say it won't be the last. She provided exceptional 5-star care, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Kristina was incredibly reliable, responsive, and attentive. She sent daily updates with plenty of adorable photos, and it was clear how happy and comfortable Alec was in her care. I especially loved seeing how much he enjoyed his walks and how wonderfully he got along with her pup, Kaya! What really stood out was her attention to detail. She made sure Alec received his daily supplements with his meals and kept me informed about everything, including how he slept the night before, his appetite, bathroom breaks, and daily activities. Those thoughtful updates gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. It's not always easy trusting someone new with your fur baby, but Kristina quickly earned my complete confidence. She truly went above and beyond, and I felt like Alec was being treated as part of her family. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter. Alec and I will absolutely be repeat customers! Thank you, Kristina (and Kaya!), for such a wonderful experience! 🐾❤️
Lily was wonderful with our dog, Betty! She walked her a lot, which is her favorite thing to do, and took her to the dog park. She sent pictures and updates which we appreciated so much! We felt very confidant she was in good care and we didn’t worry at all. We were visiting Irvine and needed a dog sitter for a week. I would definitely use Lily again if we are back!She also gave her medicine twice a day.
I was a bit nervous using Rover for the first time for our girl and Kelli was excellent. Upon communication leading up and drop off, I knew Lola would be so loved. Kelli was great at sending updates and photos throughout the stay. Lola was happy to stay with another friend and to get multiple walks each day. We’ve already rebooked with Kelli for our next trip!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Irvine home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Irvine.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Irvine sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
