“Abby was great! She was very punctual with the times we discussed for her to stop by for my cats. She stayed the full time and sent great photos of them playing and being pet. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!”

About: I have one dog of my own she is 5 years old. I love animals! I'm very sensitive when it comes to animals so I try my absolute best to meet their needs/wants ! I spoil my dog and I treat her just like family. I can only do Friday nights and all day Saturdays. I can pop in on weekday evenings after 5 on Wednesdays. I have a full time job right now but would like to make a little extra money to spoil my baby some more ! I don't have any professional experience with animals though, but this would be a great opportunity to help other fur parents and get to know more dogs and potentially have more dog friends for my dog! Thank you for taking the time to read this ! I also will help take care of cats too! I work full time, so right now I can only do Wednesdays after 5pm and then Friday evenings after 5 and any time on Saturdays. My dog has a fenced in yard, she is with another dog when being let out. I am cautious when it comes to dogs needs. My dog is food aggressive so I have taken time to figure things out with that to make sure it's more comfortable and peaceful.

“Very professional, we had a great meet and greet. Look forward to working with Katherine again.”

“Jocelyn was reliable and communicative. I will definitely seek her services again. This was my first time using Rover and she eased my reservations. I will never rely on a neighbor to take care of my cats again. One of my cats is slow to warm up to people, but by the second day there was photo proof that she was out from under the bed and happily engaged with Jocelyn. My heart was so happy, and it helped me enjoy my vacation worry free.”

About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, and I’ve spent over a year working hands-on at a professional dog daycare and boarding facility here in Orange. That means I’m used to caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors. I’m currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits only. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a structured walk, or just some loving company while you’re away, I bring the same reliability and safety focus I use at the daycare. I also love adding enrichment — things like sniff-walks, interactive games, or even “report card” style updates so you know how their day went. I’m currently working a part-time job and my hours differ week to week. Some days it’s 7 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. and other days it’ll be from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m! Mondays are my busiest day of the week, so I can’t fit much into that day, but you can always still message me and I can see what I can do! In a client’s home, I always follow your pup’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits, that might include letting them out for a potty break, refreshing food and water, giving medications if needed, and spending quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I make sure to leave everything tidy and send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safety and fun. I use secure leashes/harnesses, keep a close eye on the environment, and adjust the pace to match your dog’s age and energy level — whether that’s a brisk stroll or a relaxed sniff walk. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind.

“Beth made me very comfortable leaving my kitties alone. She kept me well informed about them and I appreciate that.”

About: Being raised with and caring for pets and being a proud pet parent of 3, I understand the importance of leaving your pets with a trusted and caring person. With 10 years of experience pet sitting and house sitting, I offer the same love, attention, and care they would get at home. I work full-time, however, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to adjust my days as needed. I like to spend my free time at home meaning when watching your pet and/or house sitting, I would be spending my time there. I do my very best to maintain a normal schedule for your pet as possible to minimize stress while you are away. When I am in your home I would care for it as my own as well as your pet(s)!

“Charne was awesome. First time using Rover so I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my two dogs and being in my home but immediately after meeting Charne ,all of those feelings went away! She constantly kept me updated and sent me pictures so that I could see that my babies were ok. She was on time everyday and spent extra time with my Hank and Daisy. She was truly dedicated in providing and caring for both of my pets! I highly recommend Charne and will definitely be using her again whenever I’m away from home!!!”

“Kaitlyn was great! Reliable, very good with the dogs, and respectful. She did everything we needed and more! We'll definitely be asking her to come back again.”

“Amanda and her partner, Jonathan, were great. They are reliable. They were flexible when we had a few changes and even agreed to an additional visit which we didn’t end up needed. They responded immediately to texts. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.”

I currently am reitired from the corporate world, so I am home all day and night. Also looking to foster some animal's in need and volunteer at the shelter. Caring for an animal starts with respect, they need love and attention to feel safe in their environment no matter where they are. Always respect their boundaries.

“Kelly P. arrived on time, contacted me when Sophie's food bowl and food were not on the counter as planned, and proceeded to feed Sophie after I gave her instructions on where everything was. She interacted well with Sophie and provided time in the yard for a potty break before leaving. I recommend her highly.”

“Mary Alice was great. She asked the correct questions in the initial visit, which made it clear that she really knew what she was doing- and one of my very shy cats immediately sniffed her and let Mary Alice pet her. The house was actually cleaner when I got home than I'd left it! I was able to be gone and not constantly terrified for my two little voids, both of whom are quite old. Would definitely book again.”

She was also so so patient with my shy cat, making sure to leave him treats and slowly approaching him while respecting his space. I would recommend her services to anyone and will definitely work with her again!”
