About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for them through dog sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting. I personally raised and trained one of my dogs from puppyhood—teaching crate training, potty training, and fun tricks—so I understand the patience and consistency pets need. I’m a reliable, respectful sitter who treats every home and pet as if they were my own, making sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m quite flexible with my schedule, and this role is currently my main work priority. Because of that, I’m able to plan my days around each pet’s needs and routine. My goal is always to provide consistent care, attention, and genuine love to every pet I care for. At my home, your pup will enjoy a safe, fenced yard and the company of my two friendly dogs for plenty of playtime and socialization. I can also care for pets in your home if that’s what makes them most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, boarding, overnight stays, or crate care, I’m happy to help with whatever your dog needs—no task is too small or too big. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home!
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. 🐾 Health & Safety For the health and safety of all pets in my home, all dogs staying with me must be current on veterinarian-recommended vaccinations and on an active flea and tick prevention program. I understand that some dogs may be unable to receive certain vaccines or use standard flea/tick preventatives for medical reasons. If your dog has a documented medical restriction, please let me know before booking so we can discuss your veterinarian’s recommendations and determine whether I can safely accommodate your pet. All boarding guests must arrive flea- and tick-free. If fleas or ticks are discovered during your dog’s stay, I will contact you before administering any treatment. The pet parent will be responsible for the cost of any approved treatment, as well as a $100 flea cleaning fee to cover the additional cleaning and sanitizing required in my home. Any extraordinary professional pest-control expenses resulting from an active infestation may also be the pet parent’s responsibility. Please also let me know in advance about any medical conditions, medication sensitivities, vaccine reactions, allergies, or other important health information. ❤️ I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.
“This is the second time Chris has walked Bella, and she was so excited to see him that she actually peed when he arrived. It’s obvious she absolutely loves him. Chris is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Bella always comes back happy, and I feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in such good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.

“I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always been comfortable caring for animals. I’m familiar with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’m dependable, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate house sitting, daytime visits, walks, and varying pet-care routines. On weekdays, I do school drop-off in the morning and school pickup between about 3:00 and 4:00 PM, so I may be briefly unavailable during those windows.

I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Viejo
My 2 year old Aussie is a very important part of my life and it was important for me to have the right person care or her when I travel for work. Taylor was amazing with her. She felt comfotable being in her car for her dog park trips in the morning and her drop offs were timely and seemless. I will be using Taylor the next time, for certain.
David took great care of our dogs. He takes plenty of pictures and gives us regular updates. One of our dogs is very reactive on leash and David was able provide training tips and guidance to correct the behavior. He went above and beyond by feeding our dogs too. He’s a gem!
Alison always goes above and beyond for us! Not only does she take care of our pup so intentionally and well, but she also cares for our home without us even asking. Whether she brings in garbage cans or cleans up a mess on the front porch, she is truly such a gift to our pup and home! So, so thankful to have a trusted caregiver!
Saeedeh (Lili) is amazing with Jasmine! Lili loves her as if she was her own dog, and Jasmine gets so excited when she sees her. I especially appreciate Lili’s rapid and consistent communication to make plans as well as sending all the videos and pictures. It makes me feel better when I am traveling or out of town knowing that Lili is watching Jazmine and that she is being well cared for. That peace of mind is priceless.
Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Mission Viejo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
