“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”

“Connie is amazing! It was Cocoa’s first visit with a sitter and Connie did an amazing job with making us feel at ease. We scheduled a 2 hour visit and Connie sent a ton of pictures of them playing and cuddling. I highly recommend Connie!! ‘”

“We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful cat sitter. 😻 They take amazing care of Chloe every time, making sure she’s fed, comfortable, and loved. The daily updates and photos mean so much, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s safe and happy while I’m away. Truly couldn’t recommend them more! 💖🐾”

“Jesslyn was a wonderful dog sitter. Our corgi had the best weekend and we received the cutest pictures and updates. She came back extremely happy and well cared for, and Jesslyn was amazing at keeping in contact before and during her stay. I can't recommend Jesslyn enough!!”
“Doug took care of our dogs as if they were his own. He frequently communicated their status and shared photos of them during their stay. He is very accommodating of any special needs. We highly recommend Doug and plan to request him next time we need pet sitting.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”

“Nuri had a blast with Charlene during his two week stay!! We got adorable photos and videos of him everyday which made us feel relieved and less guilty while enjoying our vacation ? she’s a great communicator and could tell she took a great care of our baby! Thank you so much!! We’ll definitely return to Charlene if needed ??”

About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“It was my first time being away from my dog and Wonton's first time with a sitter. Patricia did a great job answering my questions and addressing my concerns. I was able to get daily picture updates during his stay with her and it seemed like he really enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend Patricia”

“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”


“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”


“Chungin was Fantastic! My dog loved her staying with Chungin. She sent a lot of photos of my dog to us and gave us updates so often. That made us feel so comfortable therefore we could enjoy our trip without worrying about our puppy. I could see that my dog was enjoying her time with Chungin and her dog Bomi. Chungin is awesome, I really appreciated her care and love to my puppy.”

“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Emily! We are a loving family of four, my husband, our 10-year-old son, myself, and our very active 13-month-old Shiba Inu, Nala. As dog owners ourselves, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dog while you’re away. After recently searching for a sitter for Nala, I realized how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and cared for in our home as if they were my own. After spending 25+ years in the telecom industry, I am now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for the pets I welcome into our home. Your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day, with their safety, comfort, and happiness always being my top priorities. We are located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Irvine with several nearby parks and walking trails. Nala enjoys four walks a day, and I am happy to provide the same level of activity for your pup based on their needs, energy level, and routine. We also have a spacious home with a secure, fenced grassy backyard that offers both sunny and shaded areas for dogs to relax, explore, bird watch, or simply enjoy outdoor time. I understand every dog has different routines and comfort levels, so I do my best to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Nala sleeps in a crate at night, but I am happy to accommodate your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or out in the open. We treat pets like family in our home, so dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and in the spaces they’re used to enjoying if that aligns with your preferences and home rules. I am also happy to follow your dog’s specific care routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, sleep preferences, and any special instructions that help them feel comfortable and secure. I know being away from your pup can be hard, so I’m happy to send regular photo and update check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. To ensure personalized attention and a calm environment, I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of one-on-one love and care while staying with us. I do ask that dogs are comfortable around children and other dogs, and are reasonably house-trained and comfortable spending short periods indoors when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family!

Lily was professional and personable! She communicated often about my two dogs and put me at ease while being away from them, taking them on walks, to the dog park, and sending photo updates each day. I can’t say enough about her care, I will be a returning customer!

My pup had an incredible stay with Kristina!! Kristina was the absolute best! She took such great care of my Playa and kept me updated throughout the stay. Playa can be finicky with food and going on walks, but she was completely comfortable with Kristina, and loved playing with Kaya. I highly recommend Kristina and will definitely book with her again.

Katie was so amazing at taking care of my baby Vader. This was my first time having a pet sitter take care of my dog and it went amazing. Katie and her partner really care about dogs and making them feel comfortable and at home. Their dog Coupon is also a sweet dog that Vader was easily able to get along with and have a friend. I was also sent pictures of Vader everyday, it was very comforting to see cute photos of him while away. Vader seemed to have a vacation as well, I can tell he had lots of fun and attention. Thank you Katie!!

Alexandra was excellent and caring. She communicated daily with me about how my baby was doing and asked me questions if she had any concerns. She also sent me pictures and video of my baby daily . I could see that he was safe and having a great time with her family. I will definitely rebook with Alexandra in the future

I am so happy that I found Laura through Rover - she was an excellent sitter. It's clear she loves dogs and she loved my dog too. She sent lots of pix and videos and I really appreciated that - as well as the pickup and deliver service. My dog had so much fun there! Thank you SO much! I won't hesitate to use Laura again!

Nicole provided great boarding service for our 90 lbs pit bull! She made our dog feel right at home during his day. She was attentive, kind to our dog and was proactive on sending us updates. She gave us peace of mind when our dog was not with us and made the process very simple. Nicole was also very easy to communicate with and overall provided the best care for our dog. Highly recommend!

We took Teddy, our 14 month old Shepherd-mix rescue, to stay with Natalie during our trip to Newport Coast. It was an amazing experience for us all, as Natalie took great care of Teddy with plenty of walks at the park right next to her house! She provided morning and evening updates with plenty of photos as well, and was most accommodating as we “borrowed Teddy” for some daily family fun! Most importantly, as new pet owners, we were comforted in seeing how much Teddy loves Natalie, leaping through her front door upon return from our six day trips. We look forward to using Rover to hopefully have Natalie watch Teddy again next summer! ☺️

We had a wonderful experience! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy looked like he was having an absolute blast and came home happily exhausted from all the fun. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed spending time with them and Evan. We would absolutely book with them again in the future. Thank you both (and thank you, Evan!) for taking such great care of our pup!
