About: As a loving & caring pup mother, I understand what & how my pup is communicating with my family all the time. I will take care of your loved ones as my own! I work part time and from home. I take care of my own pup and takes him on a walk 3 times a day. I will follow similar routine for day care & boarding pets My pup is my forever baby and all my family members treat him that way. I will treat other pets same way. I follow time table for giving food and walks. I encourage positive reinforcement by giving treats and toys. I ensure all pets have access to clean water all the time

“Reinaldo is awesome! He is very prompt at responding to messages. This was our first time leaving our puppy in someone else's care, and we weren't sure how she would react to new dogs and a young child, as she hadn't yet had much exposure to these things. Reinaldo reassured us it would be fine, and sure enough, it was! Even though we just did a short day care, he sent us some update photos and a video, which we really appreciated. We have now found someone who we can trust and can confidently handle our puppy. We are so glad we won't have to worry about boarding our pup while we are away, as we know she will be in Reinaldo's wonderful care.”


“We had to find a sitter on short notice for Hana and we were happy to find Evelyn! With speedy communication, we could book doggy day care right away. She kept us updated with amazing pictures and videos of Hana, we could clearly see that Hana was having a blast! Hana had so much fun running and playing around in the backyard. Evelyn even messaged me about Hana's potty schedule&stool appearance and water break. When we went to pick up my fur baby, she was very happy and tired, which is a good sign of having a fun day. I will definitely use Evelyn again in the future! I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your furry friends. Thank you so much again! :)”


About: I was born in the UK and have had dogs my whole life—growing up on a big country property, we always had furry companions! My childhood was spent with a Corgi and later an Irish Setter. Since moving here in my 30's, we’ve had many wonderful rescue dogs, including a particularly mischievous Beagle! We’re dedicated dog parents (note: my husband (background checked too) is also available when needed) who love training our pups but also spoiling them with love. Senior dogs hold a special place in our hearts (our current pup is a senior), but we also adore the energy and antics of younger dogs. Having recently used ROVER for our own dogs, we completely understand the hesitation of leaving your pets with someone new. But rest assured—we’ll treat your dogs like family, with plenty of love, cuddles, walks, and affection. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! We specialize in the small dog variety!! We work from home every day, with our dogs always nearby as we go about our day. We rarely go out in the evenings, and our pups sleep in our room at night. We truly love spending time at home with our furry companions! We have a fenced back patio and a doggy door, making it easy for pups to come and go. We love going on walks and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. We want your dog to feel completely comfortable—whether that means using their own bedding or a crate if you prefer. We also understand that routines are important and are happy to follow your dog's schedule!


About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!

I am now offering my services for drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and boarding to others in need of assistance. When your pet is in my care, I will give you daily pictures and videos to reassure you that your furry friend is safe and not alone. I have experience assisting elderly dogs with additional daily needs, such as diaper changing and catering to those that are deaf or have some anxiety. Direct link is https://www.rover.com/sit/alexap04725 I look forward to being part of your pet care team to ensure your animal remains safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Chat soon! I work from home primarily, so I am available to assist families with boarding, doggy daycare, and drop-in visits to support your pet care needs.

Boarding & Doggy daycare: Your pet will be in a relaxed environment that will feel close to their home away from home. I will ensure you receive photos of their stay to give you peace of mind that they are safe, secure, and in good spirits! For the drop-in visits, I understand the importance of caring for the client's home and animal. I am a homeowner as well, and entering with caution and securing your home upon exit are always top of mind. I had an albino leopard gecko for years, so if care is needed for a reptile, I am fully aware of their needs and am capable of assisting you. There will be relaxing walks with safety coming first for your pet. I know some dogs enjoy socializing, but some are adverse to the interactions, and I always remain aware and alert to any tension that might arise and may pose a danger. *Pet CPR Certified 2025-2027

“Venus did a great job watching my pup for me. She kept me updated with pictures, and handled his strong pulling on the leash very well. I’d definitely leave my dog with her again!”


“Very accommodating and nice sitter experience! My dog can be pretty shy at first, and it was great to see Julian not mind at all and work together to make my dog feel comfortable throughout his stay. Would book again!”


“Donna and Mike were so loving and caring for my dog Sedona! She is a puppy and was on her first heat cycle, and Donna and Mike were so caring and knew their way around doggy diapers and gave me tips on how to use doggy diapers more efficiently. They sent me photos throughout the day, and were reliable and communicative. Sedona had a great time with them!”



“Amanda, I was very impressed with you at our meet and greet and appreciated the questions you asked and notes you took regarding George’s needs. Thank you for helping me feel more comfortable and confident that he would be in good hands. You did such a great job for George’s 1st daycare stay and we really appreciate you working with him through his separation anxiety!”


About: Use to take care of apartment with three huskies including my own :) have owned 5 dogs in my lifetime till they passed away! I also owned two cats that get along with my dog! I am almost available daily if i don’t have a job on hand! My husky runs 3 times a day and loves it. I also take care of two cats at home I treat all pets like they are my own! I have never met a dog or cat that doesn’t like it, especially cats! They love me

About: I grew up in a lively household with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the last 15 years, I’ve pet sat for nearly everyone in my life- friends, family, neighbors, you name it. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, medication for seniors, or playtime with energetic pups, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I care for. This path felt inevitable. So here I am I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to offer walks, check-ins, or boarding throughout the day. I take regular strolls to the park and around the lake, so I’d love a furry friend to join me! Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday play session, or a relaxing evening cuddle, I’m home and available to give your pet the attention they deserve. I have a fully fenced-in, sun-filled patio with a large, comfy outdoor couch- perfect for lounging in the fresh air, surrounded by birds and plants. Inside, pets can relax on a spacious, pet-friendly couch and feel right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and can create a calm, secure environment tailored to their comfort, whether they’re staying the day or overnight.

“Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!”


About: Hello, I’m Michelle! I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist with a deep love for animals. I live in a cozy, dog-friendly three-story townhome with a small patio in Mission Viejo, along with my husband, our two young daughters (ages 2 and 4), and our playful 1-year-old Bernedoodle, Winnie. I handle all pet care personally and do not share responsibility with anyone else. While my children are present in the home, they are never involved in the care of pets—I personally oversee all feeding, walking, and playtime. Before having kids, I was a proud dog mom to three amazing pups—a Great Dane, a Miniature American Eskimo, and a Black Lab—so I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs, including senior care. We don’t have a yard, but we go on multiple daily walks around our peaceful neighborhood, and our pup Winnie loves having a doggy companion to lounge or play with on the patio. We’re not looking to add another permanent dog to our family, but we love offering a safe, loving, and fun environment for friendly, well-behaved pups. If your dog enjoys companionship, cozy naptime, and the occasional toddler giggle, I’d be happy to host them! I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist, and I typically take clients on the weekends when my husband is home with our girls. I’m home all week during the weekdays, which allows me to be fully present with your pup and provide consistent care and attention. I walk our dog throughout the day while my husband is at work. He’s usually home by 3 PM and loves taking our dog for morning and afternoon walks before and after work. Pets are naturally part of our daily rhythm—with multiple walks, time on the patio, and lots of love and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of our family. 🏡 Safety & Home Setup We live in a clean, pet-friendly 3-story townhome with plenty of space for your pup to feel at home! Dogs will have access to both the first and second floors, including a cozy upstairs balcony/patio and a secure concrete patio on the first floor. While we don’t have a backyard, your dog will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of attention. Please note: • Dogs must be fully house-trained • Dogs must be comfortable in a multi-level home and safe around stairs and balconies • No yard access means dogs should be leash-trained and used to outdoor potty breaks • We keep all balcony doors secure and supervised when dogs are outside • We do not accept pets with destructive or escape-prone behaviors for safety reasons We’re committed to providing a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Let us know if your pup has any routines or preferences—we’re happy to accommodate!.

“Zuri loves Stephanie! Would 100% recommend. She loves other pups like her own. I get pictures throughout the day. Zuri can not wait to go back. Wish we lived closer to se her more often. If you’re in her area, you won’t be disappointed with her quality care.”


About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Currently home for the summer and awaiting my last year in university - I’ve got no other summer plans than spending time with the local pups! I can pet sit for a few days with no other responsibilities to pull me away from your precious pets. At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

About: I have 12 years of experience providing attentive and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and administer medications to their pets. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs. My approach is gentle, patient, and focused on creating a safe and happy environment for every pet I look after. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including early morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Whether weekdays or weekends, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for as part of my regular routine. I provide a calm and secure environment with a gated patio for safe outdoor time and plenty of space to relax indoors. I follow each pet’s routine closely and can easily separate or crate pets if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their comfort, respect their space, and ensure they feel safe and loved. Pet safety and trust are always my top priorities.

Shelley C.

“Shelley is a true dog lover! Her fur baby Capri gets the best love and the she gave equally as much love to both of my dogs when they stayed with her! They have done long and short stays at Shelley's house. The only thing I am always disappointed by is how they are not super excited to see me upon my return because they are so relaxed n their own vacation! This is my first choice versus a stressful stay at a kennel. A+ service full of love and attention!!!!”

Shui Y.
“Shui and her husband became my dog Kupo’s favorite humans after the very first time they watched him. She is incredibly responsible and reliable! When we sent Kupo to stay with her, Kupo was in a special training program. Shui not only took excellent care of Kupo for several weeks, but she also maintained his training practices consistently. Thanks to her dedication, Kupo came back to us even better behaved than before. And she always maintains excellent communication with us during Kupo’s stay, sending lovely pictures and videos all the time! Shui now owns an adorable and well-behaved puppy named Bao, who will be a wonderful companion for any dogs staying at her place. Whether it’s going on long walks, administering diet/medications, or simply providing loving companionship, Shui always puts the dog’s needs first. I have full confidence in Shui as a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive caregiver. Any dog would be lucky to spend time in her house, and any dog owners would feel completely at ease knowing their beloved companion is in such great hands.”


Donna R.

“I have a high energy Mini Aussie, and Debbie was so sweet and understanding with him. Debbie was communicative and quick to respond. Highly recommend!!”

Yogi had a great time staying and playing with Ella! Ella took really good care of Yogi, and he was very fond of her! She was very communicative throughout the day and sent some cute pictures of Yogi. She walked him twice and let him relax in her pool.
