“We hired Jasmine to house/pet sit while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and cat. She is very reliable and attentive, providing consistent communication with photos and video updates. She even went above and beyond by sweeping our floors! Our dogs are very high energy and Jasmine provided them with more than enough playtime. She clearly loves animals! Our dogs were well cared for and happy they got to have her very cute dogs as playmates! I feel she is someone we can trust with our animals and we already hired her for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Jasmine!!”


“Robert was absolutely amazing with our little autumn while we were on a cruise. It was our first time leaving our fur baby behind and she loved Robert so much. She had the best time and didn’t want him to leave. We would a million times recommend him to love your fur babies and we will definitely have him again!!!”

“We’ve used Katie a few times now to watch our pup and we can’t say enough good things. She’s attentive, kind, a great communicator, and responsible. We are so happy we found Katie and can go on trips knowing our sweet girl is in good hands. Katie helps administer meds to our pup and is very intuitive with knowing what our dog needs. Thank you Katie for taking the best care of our girl!”

“Everything from meet and greet to booking was great with Christian. He kept up with fur baby photos and kept the house spotless for a smooth return from vacation. I will definitely be booking with him again 👌🏽🙂”

“Esther was awesome! Petsitting 2 cattle dogs at the last minute was challenging, but she worked with me and my pets and got them in a routine within a day! She kept me informed every step of the way and never hesitated to answer my texts. I've already asked her how to contact her for future pet sitting. Raider, Sloane and I are grateful to Esther for everything. Thank you! ♥️”

About: I’ve raised animals all my life. I grew up on a farm, where we cared for cattle, chickens, and had plenty of cats and dogs. I have two senior pets now and have raised them from puppy/kittenhood. I have experience on house training puppies as well as light obedience training. My schedule is currently wide open! I am looking for full time employment, so things will eventually change. I will update things when the time comes! I’m happy to give pets medications and lots of cuddles and play time. I can send in regular updates, if requested. I’m good for short walks or long walks!
“Irene was amazing. She kept us updated, asked great questions, and even was understanding when there was some confusion with the sitter right before her. The animals were very well taken care of while she was here!”

“She was amazing! You would be lucky to have her as your sitter. She sent me videos and pictures everyday. She is a lovely, caring and thoughtful lady. She even brought her daughter and husband over to walk and play with them too! I will definitely ask her to watch my 3 pups again:)”


“You can tell instantly that Kimberly is a dog lover the moment you meet her. When she met Jordan for the first time, she was very calm and caring. Jordan was very quick to warm up to Kimberly right away. We knew Jordan was in good hands. Kimberly was very personable and friendly. We felt extremely comfortable with her and will definitely call her again!”

“Kayla was amazing, We went out of town and she did a sleep over and stayed with our fur babies. She took care of them and sent lots of video and pictures. I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting and overnights.”

“It was our first time using rover ever and we loved how well Joey took care of our two dogs and house! We have a reactive 2 years old Australian Shepard that doesnt warm up to others usually very well but he reacted very well with Joey. She kept us updated on how they were doing numerous times with pictures and great communication. We will definitely be using Joey again as a dog and house sitter! Our dogs loved her”

“Donna did awesome job taking care of our puppy Penny. She is very punctual and experienced in taking care of puppy. We are rebooking for the future dates. Thank you Donna!”


“Wow! What an incredible sitter Hong was. This is the first time I have ever been away from my fur babies and not worried once. She was so communicative the entire time and I came back to happy dogs and a pristine house. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you again Hong. ❤️”

About: Hi, I'm Kaylee. I've been caring for dogs, cats, and other exotic pets for over 12 years.I’ve rescued multiple stray dogs that turned into my family members. Learned from professional dog trainers and dog psychologist, I closely observe dogs’ body languages to recognize signs of stress and discomfort. I live in a clean and welcoming, dog-proof townhouse located in Great Park, Irvine with a fenced front yard for your pups to play and sunbathe. I live with my husband with a sweet and gentle small dog Ripley. We have no cats and no kids and only board one or two dogs at a time, so your pup will receive lots of attention and personalized care. I follow owners' instructions carefully and try my best to stick to your pets' daily routine and provide a calm stay for them. I work from home and can keep your pup company. I normally offer three walks a day ranging from 20 min to 40 min each walk, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening, and potty breaks depending on your pup's needs. If you pup requires more exercise, feel free to ask and I’ll try my best to accommodate to that. I live in a two-story townhouse with a fenced front yard in Great Park. I also have access to a number of trails and two dog parks nearby my home. I don't take dogs to dog parks to interact with other stranger dogs for safety reasons. Dog park play time can be arranged if your dogs love to run around and play fetching 🎾. There are no kids and cats in my home.

Mitchell was great with our dogs, and helped us out with our last-minute booking. He was timely and really cared for the dogs. He gave them an extra walk and lots of attention and wore them out in the best way. We will definitely call on Mitchell again in the future.

All I can say is WE LOVE SARAH ! She is an amazing pet and house sitter ! She sent us photos several times a day and kept us updated ! Our house was spotless when we got home too !! Totally reliable, responsible, and trustworthy ! The sweetest gal ! Will have her back for sure ! Thank you Sarah !!!!!!!

She was amazing! You would be lucky to have her as your sitter. She sent me videos and pictures everyday. She is a lovely, caring and thoughtful lady. She even brought her daughter and husband over to walk and play with them too! I will definitely ask her to watch my 3 pups again:)

Christian was amazing! I had never used an outside service before and wasnt sure what to expect but Christian went above and beyond for my dogs. He sent multiple pictures/videos for updates each day, allowed the dogs to smother him in attention, and made the entire process stress free and seamless. The dogs absolutely loved him and I wouldnt hesitate to rebook him. Couldnt imagine anyone better!

Genevieve took care of my pets for two weeks while I was vacationing out of the country. I was nervous about using Rover for such a long trip as my only previous Rover experience was for a long weekend getaway probably over 6 years ago. However Genevieve was an extremely wonderful sitter. I could tell she really cares about animals. She treated my dog Yugi with trips to the park and playtime with her own dogs (only after ensuring my dog would be friendly with others), as well as peanut butter snacks and plenty of cuddles. In her update pictures and videos I could tell he was getting along more than fine and enjoying Genevieve‘s care! The two weeks was over in a flash but she really helped us not to worry about our pets so that we could enjoy our trip!
