“Taylor is so sweet. My little guy loved her! Showed up on time and took him on a nice long walk. Also made sure he drank some water before she left. Will definitely have her walk Teddy again! :)”

“I feel so lucky to have come across Brooke on rover. She is amazing! Shows up on time, and takes great care of my dog. You can tell she loves animals and she treats my dog like she would her own! I Highly recommend Brooke!”
“Marcelle is wonderful! She took special care of our timid dog Winnie. I loved that she was very communicative through the whole process and she made time to see our house and meet Winnie in advance of the scheduled walk. She has a kind heart and we will definitely book her again!”
“Irina was quick to respond to my request for service and she even came over to do a meet and greet before the first day. She sent me pictures and videos and even accommodated adding an extra time slot during my weekend trip!”

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and cats! I started my first dog-walking business when I was 8, helping neighbors keep their pups happy and exercised, and since then friends and family have trusted me with their pets for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m a proud cat owner too, so I love all kinds of pets! Every animal is unique, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your dog or cat feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pet and show them the care and attention they deserve—let’s make sure they have a great time while you’re out! I work from my phone, so I am very flexible! I work mainly on social media, and I make my own schedule, so I can truly ensure to be present with the animals I am caring for. I won’t offer care in my home at this time, but for my cat I feed her in the morning and evening and clean her litter box daily For dogs that I walk or pet sit, I get very clear with the owner of what the expect of me. I walk them on schedule and feed them on schedule. I pick up their poop and throw it away accordingly! I love to go to parks and play fetch. I need to know emergency contact info. I love to play with the dogs with their favorite toys!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 16 years, from playful puppies to older cats who just want some quiet company. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for them. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because animals are such a big part of my life. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of free time to devote to your pets, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give them my full attention and care, making sure they feel loved and never rushed! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I keep a calm and cozy environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I’m careful on walks, always keep leashes secure, and pay close attention to their comfort and mood. Building trust with pets (and their people!) means everything to me, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at ease.
“Rachel was wonderful with our 2 rescue puppies while we were gone, especially with our little guy who has separation anxiety. She was prompt, followed dog care instructions, sent us very cute photos & communicated well. Appreciate her attention to details & will def be using her again!”

About: I grew up in western Michigan with beagles, bunnies, horses, and guinea pigs. I love all animals but big dogs are my favorite. I would love to take care of your pets! I am a retired school teacher and administrator so I am at home all day. After retiring, I worked in the PetSmart salon as a bather and groomer for 4 years. I am available 24/7 to take care of your pets. We have a large home in Irvine with a huge fenced backyard. There’s lots of room for dogs to run around and play. We have a pool so if your dog is a swimmer, they can play in the pool. Dogs are supervised at all times.
About: @ pawfect.adventures_ Ask me how you could save $$ on your booking! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Before moving to California last year, I’ve spent 5 years helping foster animals — so I’m super comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have a pup of my own and have always been surrounded by furry friends, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone who’ll treat your pets like family. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a good game of fetch, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at home while you're away. A little extra love: I offer 45 minute dog walks to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve — no rush, no shortcuts! Looking forward to meeting your four-legged best friend soon! 🐶🐱💚 My schedule is flexible! I can try to accommodate the times and days you need for me to watch your fur babies 🐾 💗 please reach out for any questions :) I unfortunately do not offer boarding in my own home, however I do drop in visits and walks! Your best friend will be cared for and loved!
About: I enjoy spending time with cats and dogs, here’s my pet sitting experience so far: - Taken care of a high energy 2 year old female Doberman on numerous occasions (even during heat and post spay surgery) - A Senior German Shepherd who also happens to be a service dog - Three lovely rescue kittens (I also helped their mother build them their beautiful cat tree) - A three year old playful labradoodle I’m currently pursuing my master’s at UC Irvine, and outside of classes and studying, I have plenty of time to care for your furry loved one! I’ll make sure they get the attention, playtime, and care they need while fitting seamlessly into your daily routine. Most pets prefer a set and predictable routing, so it is important to me that I am able to provide the same routine for your pet while you're away. I will walk/feed your loved one at the same time that you normally do.
“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”

About: I'm an active foster volunteer at both Pasadena Humane and the Irvine Animal Shelter, with hands-on experience fostering and caring for animals of all kinds. I also have two Ragdolls back in my home county and love spending time with my friends' adorable dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care-like they're my own! As an active volunteer at Pasadena Humane and the Irvine Animal Shelter, I regularly spend time caring for animals-feeding, walking, playing, and providing comfort. I also love visiting friends with pets and spending time with their cats and dogs. Since I'm a student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to plan my week around pet care and make sure each animal gets the time and attention they need. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet's routine, keep the environment calm and secure, and build trust through gentle, attentive care. I'm also happy to share regular updates to keep you informed and at ease.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and horses. I understand the needs of pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to wise seniors, and I know how to adapt my care to each one. I’m comfortable with training basics, administering medications, and giving extra attention to pets with special needs. Most importantly, I bring genuine patience, love, and an intuitive understanding of animals’ moods and personalities, creating a safe, happy space where every pet feels truly cared for. I have open availability while exploring job opportunities and am flexible for both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to provide services in the Newport and Laguna Beach neighborhoods and am excited to connect with new clients. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care they need—so they feel secure and at ease. I give plenty of attention and affection, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they get exercise and mental stimulation appropriate to their age and personality. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle on the couch, interactive play, or simply being present, my goal is to make every pet feel happy, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. My first dog’s name was Spike and he was a cute little rescue pup. I don’t have my own dog at the moment but I have been dog and cat sitting for all my friends and family for past 4 years. I love taking long walks so I can be a perfect match for an active dog but also I’m great at rubbing bellies of couch potatoes. I’m currently between jobs so I have a lot of free time during the week days and sometimes on weekends. I’m flexible and open to work. I don’t have a yard but I have a balcony where bigger dog can hang out. The dogs can stay in my apartment, I have a big park just around the corner where I can take the dog for a walk couple times a day.
“Stephen is great! My dogs don’t always like everyone but both are very comfortable with Stephen and he has a lot of energy to keep up with them! I have herding dogs so it was important that I found someone who understood how smart (and mischievous) they can be. 😆 I’m so glad I found him to help take care of my dogs.”
