“Christine was fantastic, my cat loved having her! She communicated often with me and was able to feed Casper wet food and clean it up daily. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Bailey took care of our senior kitty for 10 days and she was wonderful! Communication came daily with photos and update of her visit. We will book her again on our next trip!”
“I hired Cindy for 2 drop-in visits for my 2 dogs: a 14 y.o. & a 2 y.o. lab mix, both of whom are edgy around strangers. Cindy was on-time with all visits (including a meet-and-greet prior), communicated clearly in person and by text, and followed the instructions. She also provided pictures & brief updates at each check-in. Despite my senior dog being a cranky, old fart around strangers, Cindy improvised well when Ms. Crankypants barked at her and wouldn't cooperate about eating in her designated area, ensuring that the dogs remained safely separated during feeds. Cindy also scooped the poop, so I didn't have to when I got home. I recommend Cindy and plan to call on her again myself.”
“Cie did an amazing job with our two cats and chinchilla. She even bought a toothbrush to give our chinchilla scratches, which he absolutely loved! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on with the animals in the house. I can highly recommend her to take amazing care of any pet.”
“I was impressed with Genevieve with our first meet and greet. You can tell she loves animals. Her daily visits to our 3 small animals were great - everything we asked was completed and done with attention to detail. Would definitely book again!”
“We were SO glad we found Erica to watch our pets while we were away. During the meet and greet we knew she would be perfect - her calm, kind, and loving demeanor was perfect for our pets. She sent pictures and updates every day, and went above and beyond to make sure our home and everything in it was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter.”

About: I’d love to be your pet sitter! 🐱🐶 Get $20 off your first Rover booking after signing up, using my code KAYLEW83010. 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 home located in Great Park, Irvine with a fenced front yard for your pups to play and rest. I live with my husband with no dogs, cats, or kids and only board a few 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, Irvine. 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. After-hour dog park play sessions can be arranged if your dogs love to run around and play fetching. There are currently no kids, no dogs, and no cats in my home.
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for more than 30 years, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, day walks, playtime, training basics, and administering medications. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high-energy pups, gentle seniors, and rescue dogs who need extra patience. I know every dog is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. I am currently not working, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available throughout the week. Whether your pet needs mooning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle time, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for. I know how important peace of mind is, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages. Per parents can always reach me, and I follow instructions carefully- whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines.
“Robert went above and beyond taking care of our cats. When our apartment became over run by ants while we were gone, he was incredibly helpful in cleaning them out, getting them off our food, and ensuring the apartment stayed clean for our cats while we were gone. He also offered to come by an additional time to make sure our cats were ok and the ants were gone. None of this was expected or under the responsibilities of a Rover sitter, but it made our time away so much better knowing our home and cats were well taken care of. Thank you Robert!”

“Yichen has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process! She took care of my kitty, sent me detailed updates keeping me reassured while I was away. She is extremely thoughtful and kind, and very communicative!! Highly recommended and I will definitely being booking with her again! 😊”
“Twinkle is an amazing pet sitter. We werent sure at first leaving our babies at home so long, and we kept having second thoughts. I am so glad we decided to go on vacation and try using Rover! Not only did Twinkle send us lots of photos of our pets happy and healthy, but she kept us informed of anything out of the ordinary with them or our home. She is a real treasure and I am grateful she was able to do consistent drop ins every day. Highly recommend!”
“San did a wonderful job caring for my furbabies for four days. San has a calm and gently demeanor which put my shyest cat at ease, who appeared for his photoshoot update that I received daily from San. She played with them, fed them on schedule, and cleaned up behind them. She even left a sweet note. I will definitely book San again!”
About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.
“Ya-Chu was great! We needed a last minute drop in visit for our dog Scout and she was very communicative as well as sent photos throughout the visit. Communication all together was great! We would love to have them look after our animals again in the future.”
Northwood Point pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angela has done a great job taking care of my two kitties! Great communication, accommodating my last minute modification. Jojo got acquainted with her pretty quick and started to ask for petting. Captain has always been shy but stopped hidding deeply in the closet pretty quick too.
Erin was absolutely wonderful with our cats. This was the fourth time we’ve booked her, and she continues to be consistently reliable and caring. She took great care of them, followed all instructions, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Her updates were thoughtful, and the extra touch of leaving a handwritten card when we returned was incredibly kind and unexpected. It was clear our fur babies were comfortable, well cared for, and loved. We would not hesitate to book Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.
Bailey was very patient with my shy kitty. Finn took a couple days to warm up to her, but once he did, they were good friends. She gave me detailed updates, followed my suggestions, and even asked for other tips when he was continuing to hide on day 2. She followed all the instructions and even brought in a package that arrived early while I was away. She did a great job of caring for Finn.
Ziqi was super responsive from the moment that we contacted her and the duration of her visits. Providing great information and lovely pictures of our kitties. The cats enjoyed being around her and we felt that they were in great hands. She was punctual, responsible and gave detailed information and our cats behavior, eating habits, and litter box usage. We felt very safe with her caring for our cats and would definitely use her again.
Cie did an amazing job with our two cats and chinchilla. She even bought a toothbrush to give our chinchilla scratches, which he absolutely loved! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on with the animals in the house. I can highly recommend her to take amazing care of any pet.
Twinkle is an amazing pet sitter. We werent sure at first leaving our babies at home so long, and we kept having second thoughts. I am so glad we decided to go on vacation and try using Rover! Not only did Twinkle send us lots of photos of our pets happy and healthy, but she kept us informed of anything out of the ordinary with them or our home.

Genevieve was excellent! She did an amazing job watching our two kitties while we were away. She sent tons of photos and was very quick to respond if we had any questions. Both of my cats warmed up to her very quickly and she even sent extra photos because we were missing them. I could not recommend her enough. ❤️
We booked Esther rather last minute for the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was a positive experience all the way around. I was impressed with Esther's communication right away. My account still had my prior address, but instead of immediately rejecting the request, she followed up to confirm the address and explain the one on my profile was out of her service area. When Esther stopped by to get the key, she was very attentive and took notes on my cats needs. When she dropped in, she sent good updates and photos so I knew what was happening. My cat is shy but she did come to interact with Esther, so that says a lot about her quality of care. I will definitely rebook with Esther the next time we need a cat sitter!
Maia is communicative, friendly, and detailed. She scheduled a meet and greet with me and my cats to make sure she understood all of their needs and where things were. She gave them treats and sent lots of pics of them playing and hanging around. I would definitely have Maia watch them again!
I hired Cindy for 2 drop-in visits for my 2 dogs: a 14 y.o. & a 2 y.o. lab mix, both of whom are edgy around strangers. Cindy was on-time with all visits (including a meet-and-greet prior), communicated clearly in person and by text, and followed the instructions. She also provided pictures & brief updates at each check-in. Despite my senior dog being a cranky, old fart around strangers, Cindy improvised well when Ms. Crankypants barked at her and wouldn't cooperate about eating in her designated area, ensuring that the dogs remained safely separated during feeds. Cindy also scooped the poop, so I didn't have to when I got home. I recommend Cindy and plan to call on her again myself.
Absolutely amazing experience! My dog is 15, blind, has, dietary issues and has no teeth. Mai came and met us before the visit and she was amazing at the visits. My dog is normally high strung and she got him to relax and even sleep before she left. We will come back to Mai every time we need a visit. Don't hesitate to book her, you won't regret it!
We are so grateful to have found Christine! This week was our first time having someone outside our family watch our young golden retriever, and we were totally at ease thanks to Christine. She was so sweet with our pup, sent us tons of photo and video updates, and even asked questions about what rules we enforce with our dog to maintain consistency with our training. Your furry friend will be in good hands with her!
We’re so grateful for Yuwei and the amazing care she gives our cats! She comes by twice a day to feed them, clean the litter, and spend time playing with them, and we can always tell our cats are so much happier and more relaxed because of her visits. Yuwei is reliable, caring, and really takes the time to get to know each cat’s personality. She sends us little updates, which we always look forward to. It’s such a relief knowing our cats are in such good hands whenever we’re away. We highly recommend Yuwei to anyone looking for a responsible and loving cat sitter!
