“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.”

“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”

“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”

“Yoshiko was great with Peanut and gave us plenty of updates throughout his stay! It was our first time hiring a sitter and had a lot of nerves but she was so sweet and Peanut loved her :-)”

About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds for several years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic care, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daily visits, walks, and boarding, including weekends and evenings. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet gets the time, exercise, and care they need based on their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure, and calm environment, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to behavior, feeding schedules, and routines to ensure consistency. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, supervised, and well cared for at all times.
“Laura was so flexible and accommodated my schedule last minute. Her entire family was so friendly and gave my puppy extra cuddles. Thank you so much for the attention you gave my Annie.”

“Monica is the absolute best! She is perfect with pets and just as great with people too :) she takes amazing care of our corgis every time. They love her and we are so happy they have such a safe and cozy space to share with Monica while we are away 💕🐾”

“This is the second time we have used Hector to care for our fur babies. As always he was so kind and loving. Above all he was very communicative and kept us in the loop throughout their entire stay. I love being updated on their walks and the “ and now we r napping and watching the news” messages. Thank you again hector. We appreciate you :)”

“Jennifer and the entire family was exactly what my puppy Emma needed. Jennifer and her entire family took such good care of her. I got updates and pics throughout the day. Emma was tired when she got home, so I know she had a lot of fun. We are so grateful to have found Jennifer and we will be back often!”


“Ashley is seriously the best. Having a border collie means lots of care and attention. Ashley knows that and always handles her like the professional that she is. We really really appreciate her !! Ashley is the best sitter and great person in general, no one can compare. Thank you Ashley for everything!”

“My dog Birdie loves Leilani! She gets so excited to pull up to her home on daycare days! I can tell she is made to feel comfortable and at home on days that I work all day. :-)”

“I have a rescue dog, Audrey, with really bad separation anxiety. She howls, cries, and barks when I’m not around. Morgan is amazing!! Super friendly. Great communication. Amazing with pets!! This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”

“Bailey was awesome! She was very kind and assuring that my little dog, JJ, would be in good hands. She definitely put me at ease and stayed in touch to let me know JJ was ok. I highly recommend Bailey if you need someone reliable and especially someone who obviously loves dogs!”

“Bella loves her stays with Rebecca and Dan! She had a full day of playtime with other dogs and came home tired. Rebecca is great at sending updates and photos of my Bella girl. Thank you for another great stay!”

About: I'm ready for hot girl walks for the time and I hope your pup is too. I've grown up and raised dogs of my own, but being in California for school meant leaving him (Butter) behind temporarily. My heart is empty and open to welcome and love yours. I am a second year PA student so most of my schedule is made by me, which will allow me to be flexible and have ample time to feed, walk, and play with your best friend! I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a safe, cozy, and fun environment. I follow routines, keep things pet-safe, and make sure each pet gets the attention and playtime they need. You’ll also get updates along the way and as many additional ones you'd like!
About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. Whenever I am needs, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes. As long as you give me some ample time, I will make my schedule work for you! I live with my dog in my apartment but my husband and I always make sure to take her out for walks, play with her, and take her to the dog park to help keep her fit. For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.
Mid-City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ning was an absolute find. We came from out of town with a newly adopted one year-old shelter pup. He is high energy and it has not learned a lot of manners, yet. With an open, loving heart, she took him in for the day, so we could attend to graduation. She was incredibly communicative, sent us pictures and videos throughout the day. She also let us know that Stanley was social with other dogs and didn’t have any major issues. That made us feel a lot better considering we’re just getting to know him ourselves. She’s a top notch, professional. You will not be disappointed.

We chose Monica because it was clear from the start how much she cares about the dogs she watches. She took the time to learn about Tony’s personality and needs so she could make sure he’d be comfortable in her home and around other dogs. Tony had a great stay and came home happy and tired. We especially appreciated the positive socialization opportunities he had while he was there. We’d definitely book with Monica again!

Thank you, Kristi! You ARE the best PET sitter indeed! We love your lil furboo Penny too. 🐶 Simba & I are missing her already! We appreciate your sweet demeanor & true flexibility for folks going to Disneyland. Here's a little something extra for you online. 😊 We will definitely look you up next time we're in town to take care of our family furboo, Simba! Thanks again!!

There is something very special about people who love dogs, and hand Marisela met our dog Zoe with a treat in hand. When we had forgotten that we had booked her overnight, she reminded us and it helped us with our TinyFest event so much as we were main coordinators. She sent us pictures and video of our dog in her happy state, even though she has a lot of separation anxiety, and Marisela was perfect at giving her a wonderful safe place to be. We would book her again anytime can’t wait till next year.

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!

Erik is fantastic!! He helped me out in a pinch when my dog with terrible separation anxiety also had a cough and couldn’t be around other dogs. He is very responsive and flexible, and a chill human that clearly helps my doggo chill out. I am so grateful to have someone reliable and responsive who gives me peace of mind while I work some long days. Will definitely book again with him soon! Also, his children are adorable and so kind to my little fur baby :).

Liana was the perfect sitter for our Stevie girl. Since she already has a sweet pup of her own, we didn’t worry at all because we knew she would know how to take care of our dog in terms of feeding, heat sensitivity, bathroom breaks etc. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
