“Megan was great with my two pups and always made sure that we had great photos! She is a great communicator and made me feel extremely comfortable. We will definitely be seeing Megan again!”
“My dog was very well cared for and came home happy and tired in a good way! He got some good walks in and Kathryn is excellent with animals and takes the time to share walks, pictures, and videos. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Derek took exceptional care of my pup. She got to go for walks and play. She was happy and content when she came back home. Communication is excellent. Derek is also very accommodating to scheduling and care needs. Best care we’ve had for my pup. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”
“I will start by saying that I was nervous to leave Harley here as he is a little sensitive guy and not used to children. Jia has two adorable kids full of energy. But then I saw how absolutely gentle they were with Harley and Jia herself is an absolute delight! She really communicates and connects well with my Harley and now he looks forward to seeing Jia and the kids. She is very flexible, gives updates often, ensures he eats and gets a good walk in while also spending plenty of snuggle time with him. Jia's is becoming Harley's second home.”
“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”
“Our pup came home happy and tired, it definitely looked like she had a fun day at Doug’s! He took her out on walks and she got to hang out with other dogs. Pickup & dropoff were easy and Doug was very friendly.”
About: I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us. I have a very flexible hybrid job that allows me to adjust my schedule as needed. My husband also works hybrid. Both of us only go into office 1-2x/week but we alternate days so there is always someone at home. We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.
About: I grew up in western Michigan with beagles, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I love all animals but big dogs are my favorite. I have a senior rescue cat and have fostered many dogs. I would love to take care of your pets! I am a retired school teacher and administrator. 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 fenced yard. I am also happy to come to your home to care for and walk your pets.
“Such a good experience with Ashley! She is so responsive and provided frequent updates with photos. Our doggie loved staying with her and was so excited when we dropped him off. We will definitely be using Ashley as our go to Rover sitter!”
About: Hello there, our experience comes from owning both a Labrador Retriever and Jack Russell terrier for over 20 years. Both are no longer with us, however, our household is now the go-to spot whenever our friends and family are in need! Our home is very pet-friendly with a huge bottom floor where dogs are free to roam around and a spacious backyard. I am a business owner and my girlfriend works from home, so we both work 100% remotely with no kids and are able to give your pet the full love and attention they deserve. This includes a spacious backyard in our home as well as frequent walks and potty breaks in a very pet-friendly neighborhood with a huge expansive park. We have a home that is over 2,000 square feet with a spacious backyard that is fully fenced. Feeding schedule and types of food/snacks will be followed per owner's request. Walks and potty breaks will be accommodated as frequently as possible.
