“Oxana is so wonderful! My Dexter is a senior dog who requires special care and she did such a wonderful job of caring for him while I was out of town for the day. I also appreciated her flexibility in extending by an hour and her frequent updates! Will be rebooking ❤️”

“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”

With updated photos of my baby through out the day. :) Alex is very kind and you can tell she loves animals. Anytime, I texted for an update, she always responded. I will definitely be using her again when I'm in the area. Sassy had a blast!”

About: It all started with my cousin purchasing her first corgi, Aspen! She then got Jasper and they had 3 corgis! Yes, I did dog sit all 5 of them haha! But it also made me fall in love with furry pets! I’ve been Dogsitting and walking on and off for about 4 years now. I’ve taken care of baby puppies to 10 year old dogs! I have a full time job but will gladly take as much breaks as needed to walk and play with the animals! Their potty break is my break as well haha I am a single female with no children! I live in an apartment complex with ample amount of space for dogs to run around and cats to roam around as well in the apartment
13. Neha S.
“Happy to have Neha take care of Hope today! She was super fast to reply and accept the request, probably the fastest I’ve ever experienced on Rover lol. She sent us a bunch pictures throughout the day. Including napping photos lol, which means Hope felt right at home. Neha lives in a lovely area in Irvine so you’ll instantly feel secure for the environment for your dog too. Will definitely book with Neha again if we’re in the area!”

I got to know Felice since then and she’s been so sweet and reliable. She gets back to me quickly too. I highly recommended her.”
