About: Growing up with our family dog Lucy, who lived until she was 19, has given me plenty of practical understanding of dog care. I frequently help look after friends' dogs, providing reliable walks, playtime, and regular feeding. With my flexible schedule, I look forward to offering attentive, dependable, in-home care to give your dog the best experience. My two children are in school during the day, and I am studying full-time at the moment. This makes my routine flexible, and pet care can fit in easily. I can accommodate mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules and walks in an unhurried way. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your exact feeding, health and care guidelines to keep your pets safe and happy in their familiar environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect, always ensuring doors and gates are secure. You can expect clear communication and photo updates with every visit.
“I have been hiring Julie as my dog walker. She quickly has become a best friend to my dog. She’s really easy to work with and communicate. I don’t know how she does it but she is capable of taking best picture for my dog! I am paying for the dog walking but getting nice pictures as a bonus!”
“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life (and that's a long time). I have been fostering puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for the last several years. I am now a newly empty nest Mom with a very quiet house. In all my years having family pets, like you are now, I always found a private sitter to care for my animals while I was away. I believe pets are not meant to be boarded if it can be avoided. I am a newly empty nest, stay at home Mom with lots of time, energy and space to care for puppies/dogs and kittens/cats. We have a large, two story home with a fully fenced back yard and side pet door that leads to a fully enclosed run. While in my care your pet(s) will be cared for with love, kindness and consistency from your home to ours. A seamless "vacation" at home.
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place except to work out or for special occasions. (This will be communicated to you before booking.) We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
“Camille was fantastic with our golden! She was communicative, reliable, and great to work with. She took excellent care of our pup on his walk and he was tuckered out and happy. She was attentive to his needs and was very friendly. We are very happy to have found her. I would recommend without hesitation.”
About: I am a lover of all animals and am lucky enough to currently have two dogs and a cat! I have always been surrounded by animals- horses, dogs, cats, bunnies and currently have two young and active border collies, Bootsy and Booker that are my world and so much fun!. One thing my animals love is consistency and a regular schedule of doing things and I understand that they need that in order to feel comfortable and safe- especially while their humans are away! I am both comfortable with big dogs with lots of energy or mellow little pups who just need some cuddles. Administering medication via pill or liquid form is no problem as I have lots of experience with pet meds. Your furry friends will be in very responsible and loving hands while you are gone! I work from home and own my own candle company so I am super flexible with my schedule. I can do weekdays or weekends- even last minute is usually no problem! Long term stays are also possible. I would love to set up a Meet & Greet so I can get to know you, your animals and what you expect during my stay. Being a neat person, I will always leave your home clean and I have no problem watering plants as well. Currently, I don't offer boarding at my house, but would be happy to come to your house and stay overnight or drop in for play time while you are away- whatever your current situation calls for. I am a detail oriented person and find the little things important for pets- whether it be walking the same walk they do day in and day out, or adding just the right amount of warm chicken stock to their food. I totally get it and am happy to be there for your animals and you!
About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!
About: Residing in Newport Beach with my 90-year-old grandmother, whom I assist with daily tasks and appointments, has deepened my understanding of care and companionship, traits I bring to every interaction with your pets. My commitment to excellence, combined great communication skills to my clients and ten years of personal experiences, makes me an ideal choice for anyone seeking a dedicated, caring, and skilled caregiver for their dog. As an MBA student at UCI with classes exclusively on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, my flexible schedule allows me to integrate pet care into my routine, prioritizing their needs with care. My priority is to ensure the pets feel safe, loved, and engaged, maintaining their routine in a way that minimizes their stress and maximizes their comfort. Here’s how I achieve this: From sending adorable updates with photos and messages, sticking to their usual routines, to ensuring your home is secure and everything’s tidy, I’ve got it all covered. I’m all about the fun, —whether that’s cuddle time during a movie or getting our steps on walks I want to make sure they are happy and comfortable with me. Plus, I’m totally on board for overnight stays, making sure your pet does not feel lonely. I provide care, trust to both client and pets, companionship, and a whole lot of fun, just like they’d get at home.
About: If you asked anyone who knows me, they’d probably tell you my life revolves around dogs. I grew up with two Old English Sheepdogs and a Yorkie, and these days you’ll usually find me with my six-year-old Poodle, Brady. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or sticking to your dog’s routine, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and keep you updated every step of the way! I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible and am happy to work around your dog’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I know every dog has their own routine, and I think it’s important to stick to what they’re used to. Whether that’s feeding, fresh water, a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to what your dog needs. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own.
About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”
About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for and walking dogs for over 15 years and truly love animals of all sizes and personalities. I have experience with dogs ranging from tiny 3-pound pups to larger 50+ pound dogs, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once or providing dedicated one-on-one attention for pets who prefer a calmer environment. I grew up around dogs and have extensive pet sitting experience, & can administer necessary medication if needed. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. Since I work from home full-time, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day. I can accommodate your dog’s routine, whether they enjoy frequent walks, outdoor time, play sessions, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I personally enjoy going on walks often and live near a park with grassy areas perfect for exercise and fresh air. I also have a private patio for pets who enjoy lounging outside safely. I live in a safe, gated, pet-friendly community and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I pride myself on being attentive, gentle, patient, and reliable, and I treat every pet like family. Plenty of filtered water, cuddles, and care included! I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 attention. I can take them on as many or as little walks as you’d want. I personally go on walks every 2 hours or so. I have a park in my neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas. Have a patio if they just want air too! I give pets 110% of my attention. I work from home, so they will always have company. I am in a gated community, so it is very safe and pet friendly. Plenty of filtered water to go around! I am gentle and kind.
About: Hello! And welcome to my page! I go by CeCe! I am grown and raised in beautiful sunny Santa Barbara! I now reside in the lovely sunny Orange County! I’ve been around animals all my life. From my mom having the best border collie when I was a baby, to us having two cats, a bunny, and at least one parakeet in an apartment that i grew up in during most of my childhood to teen years. It was even my dream to get a job working at my local zoo as an actor, which eventually came true. All so I could be surrounded by animals, and say I worked with Dinosaurs too (I even acted with them)! When I moved out of my childhood home I unfortunately could only find affordable places to live that didn’t allow animals. That’s how I got into dog sitting! I loved being around animals and helping others take care of their fluffy family members. I now live with my significant other whose family cat is king of the house. I still enjoy walking dogs and house sitting. I do, unfortunately, work a 9 to 5 office job Monday to Friday (actually 8 to 4) to pay the bills. Because of this my rates reflect that. I wish I could pet sit all the time but for now this is my second job. I will treat your house as my own with a cleanly manner. I have my own form of transportation in the form of a vehicle with four wheels so any adventurous pups I am able to accommodate! I work an 8hr office job Monday to Friday. Sometimes a Saturday or Sunday if I happened to miss a day during the week due to life. It is adjustable and willing to accommodate with enough prior notice. Any lunch drop ins will need to be discussed. Because of previous experiences drop ins will need to be agreed upon by both parties and throughly planned. I am uncomfortable with cameras inside the home that are not made aware of during meet and greet. I am okay with cameras outside the home and understand the safety concerns of having them. I do not abide by using them to track movements of caregivers. I have an office job Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to make up hours on a weekend day because of other adult responsibilities during the week coinciding with other adult responsibilities such as work. I typically work 8hrs with a lunch break that can be up to an hour. I also have a partner and a home to help run. I have errands to take care of after work and on days off, like weekends. That being said I will do everything in my power to put your pet first, but I will not ignore my health.
About: After years and years of begging, I was finally blessed with my first dog, Max! I can proudly say I have personally raised my own puppy from 8 weeks all the way to 6 years and counting! All 120lbs of cuddles, walking, feeding, and medicating have given me the necessary experience to care for your own pup! From my experiences, I've learned how important it is to maintain routines and keep our furry pets as stress free as possible. I've gotten extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and reactivity, so no matter the pup, I'll do my best to adopt to your fur baby's personality! 🐶🩷 My priority in caring for your animals is making sure they feel loved and cared for duing your absence! That could include anything from walks, playing a good game of fetch, cuddles, or just spending some time together throughout the day. As for you, I also realize how easy it is to miss a fur baby (mine is currently over 600 miles away 😓) and will always be sure to keep you updated and provide as many updates as possible (complete transparancy is the key!) I am avaliable nearly every weekend, and thanks to my current class schedule, also avaliable to make multiple drop-in visits during the week. Monday: 7-11am,8-10pm Tuesday: 11am-10pm Wednesday: 7-2pm, 5-10pm Tuesday: 11am-10pm Friday: 10-2pm, 5-10pm Sat/Sun: 7-10pm! I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, care, and integrity. During a Meet & Greet, we will go over your exact routing, dietary instructions, and home entry protocols so I can match your pet's normal routine precisely! On walks, I maintain high situational awareness to steer clear of off-leash dogs, busy traffic, or wildlife.(I'm very accustomed to a distracted dog haha!) I adhere closely to your privacy, home access rules, and camera disclosures. I also keep all business communication secured directly on the platform!

So happy we found Jordan to help look after our dog Finn! She’s so lovely, gave great updates of Finn throughout the day and he came back to us exhausted thanks to the long walks he had! Will defo recommend to other people and will 100% use again! Thanks so much Jordan ♥️
Caroline was extremely communicative before we met as we were setting up our walk! We appreciated her thoughtful questions about our dogs in advance of the walk. We treated this first time as a meet and greet and walked the neighborhood together. Caroline did a nice job with both our dogs - who are big pups - and they immediately took to her! She was very observant and asked really thoughtful questions about our dogs, their tendencies, and their behaviors while we walked through the neighborhood and also was proactive and comprehensive in asking about other dogs (and owners) in our community. We're looking forward to working with Caroline in the future!
Miranda was very sweet and gentle with my timid pup. She took time to introduce herself to her, allowed Belka to get comfortable with her at her own pace, and made sure she had received a thorough understanding of her specific needs and quirks before taking my Belka as her client. Thank you for taking care such good care of her!!
We feel so lucky to have found her! She is truly meant to be a dog walker. You can feel her passion and kindness immediately. She took such great care of Laidy and made sure she got a proper run and lots of love. She’s responsible, communicative, and genuinely cares. We absolutely trust her and would book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
Polina is a dream come true! I needed a dog walker last minute and she responded to my request immediately and was able to come over the next day for a meet and greet. Oliver, our Frenchie, goes nuts when people come to the door, especially strangers. But Polina seemed to be a dog whisperer, as Oliver barked only a couple of times, and she immediately knelt down and snuggled him. He absolutely adored her! We spent 20 minutes chatting about his specific needs and habits during his walks, and I hired her on the spot to take him for his 30 minute walk. I received a video during the walk, and upon return, she talked with me about how the walk went and mutually agreed she would be our dog walker for all future walks. I can't find the words for how comforted I was knowing Oliver adored her and trusted her. She told me that this job (she does this full time - including pet sitting) is a dream come true for her as she is an avid animal lover but can't have animals where she lives. I highly recommend Polina to care for your pets. Don't hesitate...she's the real deal!!
Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Newport Coast. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

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.
