“Nicole and Aaron outdid themselves today! As usual, the pictures and video were wonderful. And they did a great job wearing my puppy out! Not only are they outstanding with my pup, the whole family are wonderful, wonderful people! 🙏🐾🐾”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.
About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
“Kun, “JK”, took great care of our energetic yellow Labrador, Lucy. We first arranged for a Meet and Greet to ensure that Lucy and JK got along well and they hit it off the second we got out of the car! JK asked to take the leash from me so that she could take control of Lucy on a short walk around the block. JK was very thorough and asked good questions about how Lucy would react if encountering other dogs or kids in public and also wanted to know if she had any other particular needs. I felt much more comfortable leaving Lucy with JK for daycare knowing that she would do her best to care for our girl as well as we would at home. JK took many pictures and videos throughout the day to provide periodic updates and was super responsive to any messages, too. I highly recommend her services.”
“Youhua and her family hosted my 4 years corgi very amazing. She had a great time playing with my dog and kept it reasonably active. Also, she shared many warm pictures of my dog.”
“Kristina was amazing, so patient and warm with my dog! it was our first time using Rover and she was so great at communicating! We are going on vacation soon and planing on leaving her again with Kristina and her family for a few weeks.”
About: I'm the guy at parties hanging out with the dog. I have an adoring obsession with dogs but have been cursed with just bad enough allergies to not have a permanent one myself. Fortunately I've been able to live vicariously through petsitting for friends, but they can only go on so many vacations (despite my insistence)! I grew up with a lhasa Apso named Buster, two terriers named Haley and Comet, and a Chihuahua named Dodger, along with occasionally pet sitting for extended family and friends. I miss having a pooch around and would love to give yours a safe, relaxing place until you get back. I work a full-time job from home and my weekends are pretty flexible. I have some hobbies I like to do on the weekends, but am rarely gone for more than 3 hours and are low commitment so I can skip them if need be. I live in a very clean and safe area in Irvine that allows for nice walks with plenty of exploring. My apartment is a pretty standard 2 bedroom with decent space.
“We left our dog with Kaylee for the day. She took great care of her, made sure she got a nice walk in the park, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. We’re really happy with the experience.”
“I had a great experience with Mika! She took excellent care of my dog, Louis. He was happy and well looked after, and I appreciated the regular updates and responsiveness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies who need playtime and structure, to senior pets who deserve gentle patience and extra care. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort zone, so I always take the time to learn their quirks, signals, and favorite things. Whether it’s early morning walks, medication reminders, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I treat every furry friend like my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attentive communication and genuine love for animals — I send regular photo updates, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs special care (puppy training, senior support, or daily medication), I have hands-on experience and will ensure they get personalized attention. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether it’s quick potty breaks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps together. Evenings are for longer walks, cuddles, and winding down before bedtime. On weekends, I love taking dogs on local trail walks or to pet-friendly parks for some extra fun and stimulation. Every day, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I keep food, cleaning supplies, and other items safely out of reach, and ensure constant supervision during playtime or outdoor breaks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines and walking routes to any special care details. I take extra steps to keep doors and gates secure, and I never bring unfamiliar pets without your approval. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are key. You’ll always receive photo or video updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every stay or visit feel safe, familiar, and full of love — just like home.
“Hanah is wonderful & took such good care of my boy, Bruce. She’s a very good communicator & would send updates through out the day. Bruce got along with Evan & had such a good day. I was so happy with her care, I already booked additional days with them. They took the stress out of my day by caring so well for my boy. Very happy with Rover for helping me to find them.”
About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a fresh puppy and I was still just a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run completely remote from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already secure with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.
“Olga was very attentive and caring, especially with last minute needs. She takes instructions well kiba seemed really happy. She also kept me up to date with everything and sent a lot of photos”
About: 🌿 Premium Private Boarding — One Pet at a Time 🌿 I offer exclusive, one-on-one boarding so your pet receives personalized attention in a calm, home-like environment. No rotating dogs, no overcrowding, just intentional, loving care. Hi! I’m Erica, a lifelong animal lover and experienced Rover sitter with years of happy repeat clients who’ve become true friends (both human and furry). Animals have always been my absolute passion, and caring for pets is something I take very personally. 👉 I'm fully insured through Pet Care Insurance, which also covers your pet while they're in my care - adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. • My Home & Family 🏡 I live with my loving husband, two daycare-age kids, and my 16-year-old cat, Samantha. I’ve also loved and cared for pets well into their senior years, including my sweet Bailey and Jake, who both lived long, full lives and remain forever in my heart. Because I have young children, I only accept pets who are comfortable around kids. My toddlers are high-energy, and I prioritize everyone’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind. For boarding requests, meet & greets are required so we can ensure it’s a great fit for everyone before booking. • Premium, One-Pet-at-a-Time Boarding 🐾 When I offer boarding, I provide exclusive, one-pet-at-a-time care. I do not board multiple pets from different families at once. This allows me to give your pet my full attention, reduce stress, and create a calm, home-like environment, especially ideal for seniors, anxious pets, or dogs who thrive on individualized care. If your pet is staying with me, I intentionally clear my schedule and remain home with them as much as possible. Your pet isn’t just another booking, they’re my priority. • Walks, Drop-Ins & Visits 🦮🐱 I offer walks and drop-ins and thoughtfully schedule my day around the pets in my care. I respect your pet’s routine and take the time needed during each visit to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. • Communication & Care 📝 I believe great pet care starts with communication. I welcome any details about your pet’s routines, quirks, preferences, medications, or dietary needs…the more information, the better. I’m always happy to review written instructions and refer back to them as needed. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away.
“Mariela & Dalton are cool vibe dog people. This really helped my two pups settle in quickly and relax. Communication was spot on! Thanks for taking great care with the girls.”
“Mickey is a wonderful dogsitter! She agreed to have a meet and greet with me to answer all my questions and brought her dog Oreo to meet my puppy Daisy. On the day I dropped off Daisy, she was very attentive to her first day in a new home and gave Daisy lots of attention. She also provided many photos and videos to show me my puppy was having a wonderful time with all the other dogs! At the end of the day I picked up a very happy puppy and feel very comfortable to have her as a long term dogsitter. thank you Mickey! :)”
“Wen was absolutely amazing with Peanut. She provided frequent updates and photos, and I’ve honestly never seen him look so happy and relaxed while away from us. Her home is beautiful, spacious, and such a calm environment. Peanut is an anxious, skittish dog, but he just looked so happy with Wen. He especially loved spending time with her child, which made the experience even more special. You can really tell how gentle, attentive, and caring she is. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their dog.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs, including my own pup of 14 years. Caring for a dog through every stage of life—from puppyhood to senior care—has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I also provide regular updates and plenty of love to help both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m currently home for the summer before starting dental school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. This means I can provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, ensuring pets receive the care and supervision they need while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and close attention to their individual needs while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.

My husband and I were sooo nervous to leave our baby with a stranger for the first time but twinkle was so warm and welcoming. Our puppy was nervous when we left but shortly after we received photos of him looking so happy! Twinkle sent us photos throughout his stay and I could tell he was totally comfortable, happy and content with her. I am so grateful for her taking in our baby and making him so comfortable.
Dalton and Mariela were fantastic. I needed a last-minute dog sitter because of work, and they were kind, responsive, and quick to help. They took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos, and always replied quickly, which gave me peace of mind. He clearly had a great time and was very well cared for. I really appreciated their help and would absolutely recommend them. I’ll definitely use them again in the future.
Denney was great! He watched my dog Bongo while I was working late so I didn’t have to stress about walking or feeding him when I got back. Bongo also seemed very excited to go back to see Denney for his second daycare session. I will definitely book with him again!
Jennifer and David took great care of Olly during his 10 days of daycare! Olly has pretty bad separation anxiety, so I’m usually nervous leaving him, but they made him feel really comfortable and cared for. By the end, he was excited to see them, which says a lot. Super grateful for them and would definitely trust them with Olly again!
Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍
I have consistently had great experiences with Avancon!. From the very beginning, they made our puppy feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. Our pup can be a little shy and unsure around new people and dogs, but their patience and kindness truly made all the difference. What impressed us most was how they helped our pup gradually get used to playing with other dogs. They were thoughtful about introductions and made sure every interaction was positive and stress-free. My puppy is not only more confident but actually super excited to get there and socialize! He literally jumps out of my arms to get into their house lol We receive updates, photos, and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It is clear that he is being well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitter. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and help them grow socially and emotionally, this is the place. We are beyond grateful and will continue to be clients.
