“Rachel is amazing and wonderful. So glad we found her to check in on our 3 dogs. All our dogs are comfortable with her and enjoy her company. She is detail oriented and makes sure our dogs are well taken care of. She takes pictures and videos of them when she drops in for a visit. She is also super flexible and understanding when we have change of plans. Pick Rachel as your go to Rover person!”

“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”
About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
About: I recently spent 7 years in Laguna Beach taking care of two beautiful dogs, Bear & Blue. This experience has changed my career path and priorities in life. I am currently expanding my love for dogs into a daycare business. Hoping to use this platform to contribute to taking care of God's Angels! I do have an active lifestyle, but I am currently looking for part-time work with dogs. I am available in the mornings, late afternoons and weekends. My pets are kept inside while we are home. Definitely enjoy the opportunity to go for long walks and get plenty of exercise. Pet Safety on a leash and water breaks is essential for a healthy dog.
“Avery took great care of our two cats while we were away. She spent a lot of time with our cats and they loved her. I would highly recommend Avery and we will be sure to book her again for our next trip.”
“Aarthi is now my go to dog sitter! She's awesome! Comminkcation was great...she kept me up to date while taking care of them. My dogs love her! She went above and beyond expectations! Highly recommend!”
“I’m very happy to have found Katelyn for occasional check ins. She is very friendly, reliable and punctual. She did everything exactly how I explained. Her experience as an RVT really gave us peace of mind since we have a diabetic dog thats needs insulin injections and medication. I definitely recommend her; especially if you have dogs with special needs.”
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs including my own husky and several senior pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.
About: My name is Lauren I live in Trabuco Canyon, Ca. I love all animals and I have had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a bunny in my life. I have grown up with many types of animals and all types of dogs big and small and very comfortable with either. My fur babies are my life and i will treat your fur babies as I would my own. I also worked at a vet office for many years so I have a lot of experience with all different breeds. And I am very comfortable administrating meditations to sick pups. I am a responsible animal owner who always has the best interest in mind for the pet, and make it a priority that the pet is safe and happy at all times. I do work full time as dental assistant during the week! But have a lot of free time on the weekends to do drop in or walks! My personal pets are my world and my life revolves around them. I incorporate the same love and attention to all pets and animals I care for.
“Ashley is the most loving, and accommodating sitter I could ever ask for. She took care of our cat every day for almost three weeks. She was very kind to buy cat treats and toys on top of the routine tasks, our cat loves her!”
“Erica is so wonderful with our little kitty. I selected the wrong dates and didn't realize until we were on our trip. Erica quickly made the adjustments and rushed over to take care of our fur baby. She's incredible!”
About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student, however, with summer coming up, my schedule is completely open! I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!
“Kylie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. Sweet, punctual, responsive and overall easy to communicate/work with. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again when I need someone to care for my orange boys.”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over many years, including birds, cats, dogs, fish and others. I’m also the go-to caregiver for my son’s animals whenever needed. Friends know me as a dedicated animal lover and often reach out for help or advice in different pet and wildlife situations. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals in need and have rescued and cared for crows, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and other wildlife over the years. I'm semi-retired and do volunteer work on Mondays. The rest of the week is fairly open so I can be flexible with your requirements. Typically, I stop by in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening depending on your preference. I believe pet care should involve more than simply feeding and leaving. I take time to make cats feel comfortable, cared for, and less lonely while their owners are away. During visits, I greet and talk to the cat, refresh water with clean bowls, provide meals according to instructions, and spend quality time doing whatever the cat enjoys most — whether that’s playing, brushing, petting, or simply sitting quietly nearby. I also check and clean the litter box as needed. Visits are typically about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the cat’s personality and level of interaction. Some cats enjoy active attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. At times, I’ll sit and read quietly so they feel relaxed and accompanied. For evening visits, I can turn on small lights (or follow any specific household instructions) and turn them off during morning visits. Before leaving, I tidy up toys, make sure feeding areas are clean, return everything to its original place, and ensure the home is secure and locked. I also like to send occasional photos or updates so owners can see that their pets are safe, happy, and doing well.

Portola Hills cat parents share their Rover experiences
Aarthi took amazing care of our cat, Tater Tot, while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. It was clear that Tater Tot was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Aarthi was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, treating Tater like one of her own. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
Highly recommend! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I loved receiving updates and photos, and I could tell my Lou was in great hands. Would definitely book again!
My cats were well taken care of by Mya. As they are my babies, I would only have someone take care of them who would make sure to follow the feed/ water directions thoroughly, give them love and attention, as well as clean the litter thoroughly every visit. I plan on using her for house sitting through Rover in March with my shepherd included in the bargain.
Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.
