“Krystal came ahead of the kitty sitting assignment to get orientated. She really followed our suggestions about using her visit time to not only take care of food, and other basics, but what our kitty would enjoy-outside activities, playing with paper, making tents, and his favorite toys. She sent us photos daily of their time together. We are so grateful for her care and updates.”
“I could not give higher praise to Krista and Kelsey. They are thoughtful, thorough, kind, caring, gentle, patient, reliable, communicative, and trustworthy -- everything you could want in a pet sitter and more. Each visit was so much more than just a check in; they truly go above and beyond. I have two very different cats: one is a calm adult and the other is an energetic kitten. Krista and Kelsey quickly picked up on their quirks, personalities, the way they interact with each other, and even their different play styles/preferences. They understood what each of my cats needed to feel happy and loved, and they provided exactly that. Their daily updates and adorable photos were such a joy to receive -- I genuinely looked forward to them every day. I wholeheartedly recommend Krista and Kelsey. I feel so lucky to have found them and will absolutely book with them again!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood — dogs, bunnies, horses, and even llamas. I’ve had everything from boxers to Frenchies and chihuahuas, so I’m great with all personalities, from shy pups to big goofy puppies. I genuinely treat every pet like family and focus on creating a loving, safe space while you’re away. I work remotely on an East Coast schedule, so I’m typically finished by early afternoon. This gives me availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Evenings and weekends are flexible, and I’m able to spend quality time with your dog. I care for pets in your home by following your routine — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for while also keeping your home clean and safe. I send regular photos and updates so you feel confident they’re doing great.
“Jay took good care of my cats while I was away. He asked good questions during the meet and greet and followed all my care instructions. He even found a creative way to get my shy kitty to eat her Petromalt gel! Jay responded quickly to my questions before and after the booking, and provided cute photos and videos of my cats during each visit. All was well upon my return home! Thanks Jay!!!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I started volunteering at a local animal shelter in high school back in New Jersey, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. After moving to NYC, I worked with Social Tees Animal Rescue to foster multiple dogs in my apartment — each with their own personality, needs, and quirks. I loved the challenge and joy of helping them feel safe, loved, and ready for their forever homes. Now that I’m new to Orange County, I’m eager to get involved in the local animal rescue community and am actively researching nearby shelters. In the meantime, I’m hoping to fill the dog-shaped hole in my heart by caring for pups through Rover. I grew up with yellow labs and recently said goodbye to my family dogs, Bo and Luke, in New Jersey — so I know just how special that bond is and how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I work fully from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m also very active — I’m a runner and yoga teacher — and I take multiple walks along the beach daily, so adding a dog to that routine would be a joy. Regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and quality time are never an issue with my schedule. Whether your pup needs lots of outdoor time or just some extra cuddles and attention during the day, I can easily adjust to their needs. I genuinely enjoy having a dog around and look forward to building a connection with each one I care for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or theirs, I make sure the space is completely dog-proofed — no food or harmful items within reach, trash secured, and any off-limits areas blocked off. I always do a quick sweep of the environment to remove potential hazards before the pet arrives or I begin my stay. I also take time to understand each pet’s specific needs and routines — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes or quirks around other dogs. I never leave pets unsupervised in unfamiliar environments, and I’m mindful of keeping doors securely shut, leashes clipped properly, and making sure they're never out of sight on walks. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where pets feel at ease and pet parents feel confident their animals are in caring, capable hands.
About: I bring hands-on experience caring for puppies, dogs, and cats, supporting routines, enrichment, gentle handling, and attentive care that creates calm pets and peace of mind. I work is flexible and have time to play with your pups and go on long walks. I can adjust my wake up time to cater to their routines. I have a safe space for your fur-baby roam. I will only take one rover pet at a time and have none of my own.
“Vi did an awesome job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! Every day she arrived at the scheduled time and provided excellent care which included feeding, play, petting and brushing. She sent detailed messages along with daily photos that reassured us that our cat was well and happy. If you have high expectations for a pet sitter, I'd highly recommend Vi based upon our experience.”
“Shianne took wonderful care of our cat. She was very communicative and great about sending updates. She took good care of the house and left it clean and tidy. We would definitely hire her again.”
“It was my first time using Rover when I hired Bex to look after our two large pitbulls while my family and I were away for the weekend. Bex was very helpful walking me through the process and arrived early to the “interview” (meeting our dogs beforehand). The entire weekend she kept us very informed and took lots of pictures with our pups. Our older dog, Baghera, can be a bit intimidating because he’s not as enthusiastically friendly as our younger dog, but Bex was very accommodating and loving towards both of them. When we returned, everything was as we left it and our dogs seemed extremely happy and well-cared for. I will definitely use Bex again for future trips, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 5 stars well earned !”
“I am very happy with my first experience with Rover and Trey. I will definitely be using him in the near future. Dependable and on time! Very accommodating on very short notice.”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I’m able to give. I work freelance with a flexible work schedule, so dogs are rarely left alone and become part of our daily routine. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training and routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for dogs that need it. Our home is calm, dog-friendly, and shared with our 4-year-old mini Australian Shepherd who is friendly, well-socialized, and loves other dogs. We love going on walks during the day whether it is by the beach or the bay. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. You can rest assured that your pup will be loved and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I structure my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and rest, so dogs get consistent attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. We go on regular neighborhood walks around the Balboa Peninsula, with plenty of outdoor time balanced by calm downtime at home. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and included in our daily routine. I follow each dog’s schedule closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they’re always supervised, comfortable, and safe. Dogs get regular walks, enrichment, and calm downtime, along with lots of affection and attention. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and house rules to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I provide consistent care, exercise, companionship, and any special needs such as medication, training reinforcement, or senior care. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I believe that just like us humans, our pets have feelings too. They deserve to be treated with respect, cared for, and loved. I will forever treat animals with that kindness. I have taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I would watch and care for neighbors, families, and friends' pets. I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and even helped one of our smaller dogs deliver her puppies at home three separate times. I also love cats so so much! During the week I work at a grocery store while in my final year of college. I am free to care for people's pets whenever I am available. I always make sure that my pets and my clients' pets have sanitary plates. They also eat on time, get potty breaks (if needed), have playtime, walks, and sometimes even adventures! My main goal is to be of great company to the pets as they are here for a good time, not a long time.
“Kelli was a great cat sitter who stayed with our cat for 2 nights. She sent lots of photos and updates as well as helping give him meds he needed, which was super helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Sydnie was absolutely wonderful and I fully recommend her! Our old man, Scout, requires daily subcutaneous fluid injections and we were so worried about his care while we were away on vacation, until we met Sydnie. She’s experienced and we felt fully confident in her vet training and abilities. She was so kind and gentle with Scout and we appreciate everything she did for us while we were away. Thank you Sydnie!”
About: I have taken care of small to medium size dogs for friends and family. Very patient with dogs and give them lots of love and attention! My husband and I are currently working from home and have couple of hours open everyday to walk the dog and take them to the park. I’ll make sure the dog is safe from cars, people and other dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need for the day.
About: I grew up with St Bernard’s and Labs, so big dogs are no sweat! But I’ve also had the pleasure of having small dogs and cats throughout my life, making me an excellent, versatile choice. Hairstylist by day, pet sitter also by day. And night! I make my own schedule, so I can give extra care to your sweet babies! Whilst I don’t offer boarding, I do lead with a safety first mindset. I avoid leash greets, and overall focus on preemptively stopping any issues. Your and your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities!

Vi did an awesome job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! Every day she arrived at the scheduled time and provided excellent care which included feeding, play, petting and brushing. She sent detailed messages along with daily photos that reassured us that our cat was well and happy. If you have high expectations for a pet sitter, I'd highly recommend Vi based upon our experience.
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with how things went. Jenny was super communicative and spent a lot of time helping my shy kitty feel comfortable. I had told her before the trip that she probably wouldn’t see Awahnee the entire time, but by the last day, I was getting pictures of my cat out and about and enjoying some head scratches!!!
Krista and Kelsey looked after our 16 yr old cat (Gizmo) whilst we were away for 5 days - making home visits twice a day. Communication was first class, as were the daily photos showing us how happy and content Gizmo was. This is our first time using Rover and we would have no hesitation in asking for Krista and Kelsey to look after Gizmo again.
I love Shianne!! She knows my pets, and can handle any special instructions, keeps me up to date, and sends cute pictures! She just helped me out in a pinch and she coordinated well with my son’s drop-ins which made the schedule a little unpredictable. I recommend her highly and will happily ask her to watch the furry ones any time!
Portia was great as always! This was a longer trip, and we asked that she drop by 2x a day. Good thing, since our kitten decided to pee on the blankets on the couch one day. After letting us know of the chaos, she arranged the couch so kitten wouldn't keep peeing there and washed the blankets. So in addition to great communication (and adorable photos of the kitten), she's great at handling talkative cats that like to cause trouble. We've previously booked her before now and would absolutely book her again.
Marilyn is the absolute best! I trust her wholeheartedly to watch our cats. She gives such thoughtful updates for each visit and is very responsive and responsible. She gives me peace of mind that my little ones are being well cared for and loved while I’m away. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
