Reinaldo is awesome! He is very prompt at responding to messages. This was our first time leaving our puppy in someone else's care, and we weren't sure how she would react to new dogs and a young child, as she hadn't yet had much exposure to these things. Reinaldo reassured us it would be fine, and sure enough, it was! Even though we just did a short day care, he sent us some update photos and a video, which we really appreciated. We have now found someone who we can trust and can confidently handle our puppy. We are so glad we won't have to worry about boarding our pup while we are away, as we know she will be in Reinaldo's wonderful care.

About: 😃Hey pet parents! Need a doggie-free weekday or vacation? I get it - you want a dependable, caring, and honest sitter to care for your pup. So do I. Hi, I’m Annie. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog sitting. I’ve spent 14 amazing years with my sweet dog Minnie, and I’m excited to share that same love and attention with your pups! I understand just how much their wellbeing means to you. So, whether your dog loves belly rubs or cozy nap spots, they’ll feel right at home here. From daycare to overnight boarding, I’ll happily keep you connected to your pup with cute photos and a quick update —so you can relax and enjoy your time away with peace of mind. ♥️If your pups like to be the center of attention, I totally understand! I offer private stays for one furry family at a time (up to 3 dogs)—just give me a heads-up. Stays just need to be 5 days or more. 🚕Pressed for time? Add my convenient pick-up and drop-off service to your pup’s stay. I’ll handle their transportation so you can focus on what you need to do. This can be reserved as one way or for pickup and drop off. ✅Please read my booking and cancelation policies before reserving your spot! I’m happy to answer any questions. Thank you! 😊 ⏰ Daycare Policy-Your pup can enjoy up to 8 hours of play, rest, and happy adventures during daycare. Core daycare hours are between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Additional hours outside and within this window are available at an hourly rate of $18, day care exceeding 10 hours, please select boarding rate. 🛌Boarding Policy-A boarding day is a 24-hour period. Your drop-off time will be your pick-up time. I offer a 1-hour grace period for pick-up. After that, a drop-in visit and hourly fee will apply. 🌿Helpful Boarding Tip: If you know in advance that you’ll need extra time for pick-up, I recommend adding extended care hours when booking to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience! ✨ All drop-offs and pick-ups will take place in the driveway unless otherwise specified, and meet-and-greets for boarding will be held on the front patio. Meet-and-greets for dog walking, can be held at the park. ✨ Your Pet’s Reservation Time and preparation is carefully arranged in advance, and all behind-the-scenes work is completed before and afterward so every stay runs smoothly and comfortably. The cancellation policies help honor this commitment and respect everyone’s time and resources. Thank you for your understanding! 🛑Cancellation Policy • Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking & Doggy Day Care: Cancel by 12:00pm, 3 days before your booking (sitter’s local time) for a full refund. Cancellations after this deadline are non-refundable. • Boarding: Cancel by 12:00pm, 7 days before your stay (sitter’s local time) for a full refund. Cancellations after this deadline are non-refundable. (All times are based on the sitter’s local time.) 🗣️Languages available: English, Mandarin and Minnan 🏡Our single-family house comes with fenced sides and backyard areas for safe play. Plus, two parks are just around the corner—awesome spots for daily walks! Inside, your pups can snooze wherever they feel at ease. Of course, if they have a favorite bed or crate, you’re welcome to bring it along. 🚨For extra peace of mind and extra eyes, we have a home security system indoors and out. Our front entrance is secure for pick-ups and drop-offs, featuring a two-layer setup with a metal wired screen gate and the main door. 🏥 I care deeply about your pup’s wellbeing and are prepared with American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid class know-how to handle minor health situations. I’m also experienced with giving eye drops, topical medications, oral medications and injections. 🧻I’ll do a quick freshen-up with your pup when coming in to the house and a health check for pups when needed. To keep pesky fleas away, we kindly ask all pups staying with us for boarding or daycare be on flea prevention at all times. If treatment is needed during their stay, we offer Frontline Plus for $18 per dose or a Seresto collar for $55. 🐶 Meet-and-greets are a must before first bookings. For boarding, daycare and dog walking services, we can set up a quick 15 min meet-and-greet and go from there! All meet-and-greet are at no cost to you. So please reach out before your first booking! 🤙🏽 Thanks for making this far! I’m looking forward to our meet-and-greet! See you both soon! Minnie’s mom, Annie How Rover fits into my routine: Working from home as an artist gives me the flexibility to alternate between my projects and Rover. I’m here to making sure your pup feels happy whenever they’re with me! First-time booking? Let’s chat and set up a meet and greets! It’s free! Safety: During walks and outdoor adventures, pets are always leashed. Our side gates remain locked, and our home is fully secured with an indoor and outdoor security system. The front entrance features a two-layer setup with a wired screen door and main door, providing a safe and controlled space for pick-ups and drop-offs. For extra peace of mind, we’ve completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to confidently handle minor incidents. Trust: Let’s schedule a quick Meet & Greet before your booking! A short 15-minute meetup helps us connect in person, make sure we’re a great fit, and ensure all parties, including your pup feels comfortable with the arrangements. It will make your pup’s first day easier and less of a shock. During this time, we can go over important details—like backup contacts (in case I can’t reach you), your veterinarian’s information, and any medical or medication needs. Care routine and environment : Let’s help your pet feel right at home! Please bring along their favorite toys, treats, or any other comfort items they love. For overnight stays, it’s especially helpful to include their own bed or crate, along with their food and water bowls—familiar scents and belongings make settling in much easier. And don’t forget their leash, so we can enjoy plenty of outdoor time together! I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and at ease by keeping their feeding, walking, and sleeping routine consistent with what they’re used to. I’ll also clean and refresh their water bowls twice a day to ensure they always have fresh water available. Plus, I’ll provide regular potty breaks and outdoor time to help them stay relaxed, happy, and comfortable throughout their stay. Updates: Staying connected is important! During your pup’s stay or walk, I’ll send photos and quick updates so you can see how they’re doing or settling in.

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!

If I didn't know that I would bore you, I’d write a whole essay about our AMAZING experience with Mike and Donna. In a few words, they are the best pup sitters in the world. They pay attention to every detail and they cared for our dogs, as if they were their own in the best possible way.

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet care. I have been a dog walker/sitter for 5+ years...mainly for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids." I grew up in a household of furry friends ranging from rescue dogs, cats, turtles, fish, hamsters, and birds. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. I currently work from home and have been married for almost 25 years. I have 2 amazing teenagers (a boy and a girl) who are busy playing high school and club sports. We are a very busy household. We have 1 dog named Stella (Border Collie) and a Cockatiel named Opie. We live in a 4 bedroom house with a backyard and pool with plenty of space for them to romp and play! We can't wait to meet you and your pets :) I currently work from home, but have a very flexible schedule allowing plenty of time to care for your pets. I will work my schedule around yours. I typically care for pets outside of my home for dog walking services or home visits. I follow the direction of the pet owners. Under special circumstances, I will care for pets in my own home on a case by case basis. My yard is fenced in, I have a 13 year old, sweet, and lovable Border Collie (Stella) and a young Cockatiel named Opie. Our home is all tile floors and they have the freedom to roam the house and furniture depending on what is allowed in their own home of course.

Sharon was a life saver! We decided to go to Disneyland on Thanksgiving and did not want to leave our sweet dog home alone for so long! I reached out to Sharon the night before and she agreed to take care of Shirley for us. We had such a great time and were able to relax knowing Shirley was being taken care of! Sharon kept us updated and sent pictures which was so reassuring!

Zachary's expertise in dog behavior and training was evident, and their home was perfectly set up for a large, relaxed dog like ours.
