“Emuna had such a great time last week so I decided to booked one more time with Sonomi. She exceeded my expectation. Emuna got to play in the park, walk the neighborhood and have healthy snacks. Thank you, Sonomi.”
“Hannah and Dabin are very consistent with sending photos of Maggie throughout the day, and updating what she does. I felt very safe letting the couple take care of Maggie. Definitely will come back.”
“Hong did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Lucky and Angel! She is incredibly kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Lisa was super wonderful with my two year old pup Flour! We did a meet and greet first to get everyone comfortable ahead of the first scheduled daycare. Lisa provided a detailed summary after pick-up and provided updates and photos throughout the day. She seems very experienced with animals and I appreciated her attentiveness and care. I will definitely re-book with Lisa and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Ning was so kind and gentle with Princess. Every time Princess was with her she would always feel so calm and at peace. She was very patient with her given that princess had dementia and a lot of anxiety.”
“Kristina was amazing and very accommodating to our changing schedule, which was much appreciated. She kept in contact and sent pictures and our pup returned very happy 😊”
About: I raised and took care of family Labrador retriever for 15 yrs. I was her primary source for activity, taking her on daily walks and for swims in the lake. I would give her baths, take her regularly to the vet. As further experience dog sitting, I've walked, fed and kept company my neighbor's dog for many years when they away on vacation and business. I'm highly conscientious, very loyal, trustworthy, dependable. I am highly resourceful, extremely adept at walking safely in pedestrian urban traffic, I have a strong sense of direction, utilizing various modes of urban public transport from bicycle to bus to car sharing. I currently live with an lively cat who acts like a dog in many ways and I enjoy giving him the play, attention he needs inside. I’m currently working from home so I have flexibility to fit in breaks throughout the day. I’m generally available for day care or boarding Monday through Friday. I have a safe and spacious apartment with balcony. My apartment building has a courtyard for walking and other dogs for interaction if desired. My area is walk-friendly, with lots of smells to explore.
“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!”
“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!”
“Bandit enjoyed his daycare with Meagan and Jason. He was excited when we arrived and he came back home with a big smile. We continue to be impressed and very happy with the care that he receives with Meagan, and will not hesitate to recommend or book again in the future!”
“Amazing experience sending Tony to daycare with Morgan! Tony was so well taken care of and clearly felt comfortable right away. We loved getting updates and seeing how he was doing throughout the day. He came home happy which was all we could ask for. We’d 100% book again!”
About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)
“Rita and Echo are the best! My little pooch starts barking in excitement the minute on turn on their street. He loves spending the day with them. Thank you sooooo much!”
“Our 3-year-old golden retriever, Bella, has been staying with Rebecca occasionally throughout the years and gets so excited and happy every time we arrive to Rebecca’s home! Bella gets a full day of play with other pups with all the love and care from Rebecca and Tom. Rebecca always provides update photos throughout the stay, which we always appreciate. She provides so much care to detail - from describing the dynamics between Bella and the pups, the activities she’s engaged in throughout the day, and so many photos - which we love! Always a great stay here, and we appreciate Rebecca and Tom so much.”
“Karla and her husband were friendly, professional, and were able to meet all of our needs for our dog. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“I appreciate Joshua's quick communicating on short notice. We were able to have a nice chat when I dropped off my dogs and make sure everything was okay with his 2 dogs. My booking that day was a pretty long one and he had no problem stepping up to help out. He also took my dogs out for a run, even though I did not ask that from him because it was above and beyond. He happily met my request for extra precaution to block off/shore up the perimeter on the side of house because I was a little concerned about the gate/fence latch that had 1 fastener loose. After I picked my Huskies up late evening, they were even more calm than usual about coming home and winding down for bedtime. Whatever magic Joshua worked, it was much appreciated!”

Joanna did an excellent job caring for my elderly, medically-complex pup. I was so scared to leave her with anyone because of all her medical issues, but I had no need to be worried - Joanna was great! She and her husband are clearly responsible, attentive and caring animal lovers. When my baby needs daycare again, she will definitely be back with Joanna :)
Hanah and Dabin are the best daycare provider I have met so far. They are friendly, responsible, and punctual. They took our Peanut for walks multiple times a day and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave him. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare provider.
My husband and I were sooo nervous to leave our baby with a stranger for the first time but twinkle was so warm and welcoming. Our puppy was nervous when we left but shortly after we received photos of him looking so happy! Twinkle sent us photos throughout his stay and I could tell he was totally comfortable, happy and content with her. I am so grateful for her taking in our baby and making him so comfortable.
Sungjin and his partner took great care of my Frenchie. I received plenty of updates and photos. They follow my instructions, made sure my dog was fed and received plenty of walks! I really appreciate you guys going above and beyond taking care of Lilo! Thank you!
Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍
Bandit enjoyed his daycare with Meagan and Jason. He was excited when we arrived and he came back home with a big smile. We continue to be impressed and very happy with the care that he receives with Meagan, and will not hesitate to recommend or book again in the future!
Sofia is a wonderful dog-sitter... she took amazing care of our pup! 'Cesca was made to feel at home right away, and Sofia's dog Bo quickly became her new friend. We knew she'd be well taken care of from the time we first corresponded with Sofia to set up the play date. She was super timely and communicative, and when we met it was obvious she would be very responsible and take precautions so our active puppy wouldn't get into trouble :) We received pictures and updates during her stay that clearly showed 'Cesca was having a great time. No doubt there will be future play dates with Bo!
I have consistently had great experiences with Avancon!. From the very beginning, they made our puppy feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. Our pup can be a little shy and unsure around new people and dogs, but their patience and kindness truly made all the difference. What impressed us most was how they helped our pup gradually get used to playing with other dogs. They were thoughtful about introductions and made sure every interaction was positive and stress-free. My puppy is not only more confident but actually super excited to get there and socialize! He literally jumps out of my arms to get into their house lol We receive updates, photos, and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It is clear that he is being well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitter. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and help them grow socially and emotionally, this is the place. We are beyond grateful and will continue to be clients.
Derek did an amazing job of taking care of our super-anxious rescue pup. She usually doesn’t let anyone pet her easily but we were so glad to see how comfortable she was with Derek and his dog. He also sent timely updates with pictures/videos, gave some great feedback about our dog’s behaviour and shared some tips and tricks. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!
