“Melanie was amazing! She took such great care of our wild, spunky Frenchie and made us feel totally at ease. She sent us updates throughout his stay and spoiled him with so many toys and lots of love! We’re so thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Vi was great with my pet - she provided updates and communicated a lot around my schedule. My dog seemed to be having a great time and reacted well to her despite often being anxious when I’m not around.”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Katrina has taken care of my elderly dog for two weeks while I was on an Asia trip. She was the best person for my dog to look after - kept up with the consistent communication, checked up on his health, and gave him the best walks. When I picked up my dog, he looked SO happy and even looked better!! My dog currently misses her after we left so I need to book her again soon!! 😂”
“Armida took excellent care of our Bobo and Bingo, they loved being with her family and their dog. We received regular updates on their feedings and exercises with daily photos. We were nervous and worried about leaving them for over three weeks, but they seemed happy and comfortable every day. They even looked more confident when we picked them up. We're so lucky to have such a wonderful dog sitter nearby!!”
“My dog had the absolute best time with her. I was worried at first he might feel timid, but they made sure he had a safe heaven at their home. I got plenty of updates, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for caring for Loki!”
“Chewie stayed with Jerilee over Thanksgiving 2022. We were thankful to find a great sitter available over the holidays! She was very attentive, responsive and sent me daily updates to ensure we knew how the day went. Jerilee is a great find and we would definitely board with her again!”
“Our pup, Daisy, can be slow to warm up to new places, especially when she realizes we’re leaving her behind. I loved Patricia’s set up to make sure dogs are isolated as a new one is introduced. By the time we picked Daisy up, it was clear she had a marvelous time! She really really did not want to leave!! We’ll definitely be back and appreciate Patricia’s kindness and flexibility”
“Al did an amazing job caring for our Grace! She is a very needy gal and separation is hard for her, but she clearly felt very loved and secure with Al! We feel very lucky to have found such a caring home for our fur baby, for those times we need to go out of town . Thank you ! ”
“We had a great experience with Danielle. Panda had a blast and Danielle sent regular updates with plenty of pictures. Panda will definitely be back. Thank you, Danielle!”
“Kristina was great! She watched our little Frenchie for four nights and sent us regular updates. Our girl is nine and can overheat and moves slowly, but Kristina was constantly reassuring us that she was keeping a close eye and understood how important it was to give her the care and attention she needed. When we picked her up you could tell she had a great time and was very comfortable. We would definitely use Kristina again!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of meticulous, individualized care and real experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I’m attentive to the little details that help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also love getting dogs outside for plenty of enrichment, whether that’s exploring the Back Bay, enjoying nature, going on walks, or simply having a fun adventure at their own pace. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, attentive environment and feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I work full time from home in OC, California. I have a fairly good size apartment and a large patio (almost small yard size) with access to lots of walking trails immediately behind my home. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own Juno boy. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to pet care, and safety is always my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, quirks, and comfort level so I can provide truly individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. In my home, I have a crate-trained dog and several separate rooms, along with gates that allow me to safely manage different spaces. This means I can comfortably accommodate more sensitive, shy, reactive, or simply more independent dogs who may need their own space or gradual introductions. I’m very mindful of interactions between pets and never assume that every dog wants the same level of socialization. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’m attentive to their environment, behavior, and wellbeing throughout the day. I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is not only getting plenty of love and attention, but is being cared for thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family dogs and cats of all kinda since I was a young child. I am responsible, clean, and absolutely love animals. I would love to help you out in walking, playing, feeding, and taking great care of your animals! I work from home on Fridays so I am the perfect long weekend sitter! I am available for walks/check-ins on Mon-Thurs after 5pm. Your dog will be my best buddy while I am caring for them! They will get all the attention and activity they need. Play-time, cuddles, walks, anything they need!
About: I am new to Rover but began pet sitting for neighbors at 16 years old. I have experience with both small and large dogs, including my own 90 lb lab who I trained from an 8 week old puppy into adulthood. You can feel at complete ease knowing your dog will be well cared for in a very loving, comfortable, and clean home while you are away. We have a big, fully fenced-in back yard, as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. I am home all day and am able to accommodate anything your dog needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate both daytime care as well as multi-night overnight boarding with full availability with advanced notice. We have a fully-fenced in back yard as well as a clean home for your dog to feel comfortable while you are away. We also have a very friendly 2.5 year old male English Lab to be a playmate and keep your dog company.
About: I have had pets all my life all kinds of pets, dogs cats, rabbits and love all animals. I do understand the Care that pets need as well as the love when their family is away. I am a retired energetic person . I have a five year-old Maltese of my own who loves to play with other pets and loves exercise. I have had German Shepherd so I’m familiar with all sizes of dogs and that needs depend depending on their age. I am extremely dependable and reliable. I live in a beautiful area with many walking trails for great activities for the pups. I also have a Home that is safe for all kinds of animals in a loving atmosphere.
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and I am very comfortable around all types. I have volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society as an Adoption Counselor while in college, so I have undergone behavior training for many aspects of dog care. I am familiar with walking dogs on leases, with harnesses, using commands, as well as resource guarding, jumpy/mouthy/mounting behavior, shy/fearfulness, and escape artists. I only use positive reinforcement for training. I have an educational background in genetics and public health, and I am involved in my local religious community as well. I’ve lived in OC for about 3 years now, having moved from the Midwest. In my spare time I’m learning to crochet, and I love playing with my dog Pax, a chihuahua/pomeranian mix whom I’ve recently adopted. I work from home, so am around most of the day, and have a small fenced in patio for potty breaks between walks. I’m a fan of the local dog parks, and will bring your dog there with your permission. I work from home, so my dog gets a minimum of 3 walks around the neighborhood and we often go to a local dog park too after work. I’m rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. My fenced in patio is open for potty breaks, but I usually do a minimum of 3 walks per day around my neighborhood. I’m also happy to bring them to dog parks for socialization. Since I have a dog myself, there will also be plenty of socialization at home.
“Kaiwen was very flexible and helpful the whole way. Barney greeted him and didn’t even look back. He was clearly happy to be with him. Kaiwen kept in touch sending updates and photos. And when we had flight delays, Kaiwen let us extend one night. Barney came home a happy dog. Thank you Kaiwen!”

Nathan and Paula could not have been better! Dusty had the best time getting tons of exercise, playing with doggy friends and being loved by their family, neighbors and mailman! We got the best updates daily along with pictures that made us smile and feel so at ease, knowing she was in a loving and trusting home. I can’t wait for Dusty to go back the next time we’re out of town.
Jessica was INCREDIBLE as a sitter for our pup! She regularly sent us updates and photos which were much appreciated. Our dog was happy, healthy, & living the dream with her. We would definitely book again and we know our pup would be in safe hands with her. Thank you so much Jessica!
Mykah is so sweet, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Zero in her care! He was calm and content when we picked him up, which made us so happy! ❤️ Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! If it weren’t for you, Zero would’ve had to stay home in Utah. You made it possible for us to enjoy a day at Disneyland and have Zero here to enjoy the beach with us all week! We’re so grateful!! 🥰🐾
Jeff and his lovely wife Cara took great care of my Maltopoo for over two weeks. I am grateful for the love and care she got, and all the fun photos I received while away on my trip. It made me happy to see my dog was on vacay just like I was far away. Thank you Jeff and Cara for such a great stay!
Melissa and her family are incredible!. We've always had positive experiences with all rover.com sitters but Melissa is something else entirely. She is the warmest, most down to earth, glad-hearted sitter we've ever encountered. Her and her beautiful family showed our Milo more love than he could have hoped for, kept us updated during our travels with continuous photos and updates on our golden boy, giving us incredible peace of mind. They really took care of our boy and we COULD NOT be happier with the entire experience. We are new to Newport beach but we have now found our dog sitter! Give Melissa a message when you need sitting - you will love her and know that your furry family member is in the best of hands. Could not recommend her enough!
Shannon and her family were 11/10! They watched Gigi at their home for 4 days while we were traveling for a wedding and took such great care of her! They have a huge fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in and a lot of room indoors as well. I received many photo updates of Gigi during my time away and will definitely be going to Shannon for any future travel :)
My dog seemed to love Eileen and her husband! I got tons of fun photos and videos during my long trip, and it really helped me feel at ease that my dog was getting love and attention. They also were very helpful in spending time to show me the specific walking routes and parks they would take her. Would definitely book again.
Amerys did a great job overnight boarding my 3 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback for a long weekend. She was super fast communicating a last minute booking and accommodating of my dog who was in her heat cycle. She provided daily morning and evening updates on how she was doing, her eating habits and even potty details which was super helpful. Her place was welcoming and safe and my pup got along with her cats and dog.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Newport Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Newport Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Newport Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport Beach. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Newport Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
