About: I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us. I have a very flexible hybrid job that allows me to adjust my schedule as needed. My husband also works hybrid. Both of us only go into office 1-2x/week but we alternate days so there is always someone at home. We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.

About: I have taken care of friends' and familys' dogs for over 10 years, and have always had a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels - from playful puppies who need structure and stimulation to senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive touch. I have trained my own dog to sit, stay, walk off leash, shake, and even to smile! I’ve cared for dogs with a range of needs, including medication administration, anxiety, and leash reactivity. I’m also an avid runner and love including high-energy dogs in my workouts (with your permission, of course!). Whether your pet needs active playtime or a calm, cozy environment, I adjust my approach to fit their unique needs. I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a stress-free experience, both for you and your pet :) I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs! I’m also a runner and love bringing high-energy pups along for safe, fun runs. Whether your pet prefers morning walks, evening strolls, or anything in between, I’m happy to make it work. Just let me know what your pet loves, and I’ll be there! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll follow their usual routine and am happy to accommodate any special needs, like anxiety, senior care, or training reinforcement. If they’re staying with me, they’ll get a true home away from home. My own dog is a rescue, and I’ve done everything to make him feel secure, loved, and supported, and I’ll treat your pup the same way. He’s super friendly and ranges from total couch potato to full-on zoomies. He also loves welcoming new buddies into our home. With my flexible grad school schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, activity, and a front-row seat to whatever show I’m currently binging - whatever they need most! When I’m in your home, I’ll treat your space and routines with care and respect. You’ll get regular updates and cute pics so you can relax knowing your pet’s in great hands!

“Talia is very responsible! My dog getting stressed when seeing people he is not familiar with, but Talia is so nice and patient to him and has taken him good care!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and truly love spending time with them. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. While I don’t have professional training experience, I’m confident in providing everyday care, attention, and lots of affection to keep your pup comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available anytime after 12 PM on weekdays, and I’m completely free on Thursdays and weekends. Whether it’s a midday walk or weekend sitting, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel at ease. In my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I stick to feeding schedules, keep a close eye on them during walks or outdoor time, and give them plenty of attention and care. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated along the way.

“Rachael was very easy to get a hold of. She is responsive and always willing to help make any time work for walks with my puppy. She takes great care of my 7 month old pup and goes the extra mile when updating me. Thank you Rachael !”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old—both my own and those of friends and family. I grew up with a high-energy Jack Russell mix, so I’m no stranger to playful pups who love to move. I genuinely love all animals and have a deep appreciation for their unique personalities. I’m a recent graduate from UC Irvine and currently have a flexible schedule as I search for full-time opportunities. That means I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat—and I’d love to spend it keeping your pet happy and active! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during every walk or visit. Whether at home or in a nearby park, I always make sure your pet is having fun while staying safe. I also enjoy learning about pet behavior and regularly watch dog training and grooming videos to stay informed. I’ve been around both energetic and fluffy pets all my life!

About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 12. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of and love their animals! I love all pets in all sizes and am confident I can take care of them with a loving hand! I am currently a college student, but have no outside job other than that! I can work weekends and have off periods to stop by during the weekdays! I will be sure to care of all pets according to instructions! I am trustworthy to care for and watch all pets and will provide dog sitting and dog walking services, as well as drop in visits!

“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”

“Jacqueline is amazing. Very communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. I am a new Rover user and was nervous about having someone come walk my dog, but Jacqueline has made the process wonderful. Would recommend her to anyone! My dog is always so excited to see her!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care for the pets I watch. I truly see them as part of the family and always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience working with both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs. I’ve also worked with rescue dogs, and I understand that they sometimes need extra patience, compassion, and time to feel secure. We have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax and play, along with a great setup for potty breaks throughout the day. There are lots of quiet, safe places to go for walks. Pet care fits really naturally into our daily routine because we have flexible work schedules. There’s almost always someone here to give the dogs attention, care, and plenty of love. We also gave a dog who loves new friends!! If necessary we have the space to create separate areas for dogs who do best on their own. My goal is to make every dog feel at ease, whether they’re with us for a day or an extended stay. I also send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I cared for my family dogs when I was a kid that sparked my interest in animals. I then went on to house sit for my neighbors' cats when I got older for a little over 2 years. Now I own my own dog that I walk, feed, groom on my own. I love meeting new dogs, thanks to him and would love to care for your sweet fur baby. I currently have a very flexible full-time schedule that allows me to work from home when I need to. Therefore I can be available for some week-day walks, but always available for weekend walks and with advance notice available as well for day and night sitting. I have a patio with lots of toys that my dog enjoys and a really plush walking path I take him on that leads to a private dog park for the dogs to run around and play fetch!

About: I grew up in western Michigan with beagles, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I love all animals but big dogs are my favorite. I have a senior rescue cat and have fostered many dogs. I would love to take care of your pets! I am a retired school teacher and administrator. After retiring, I worked in the PetSmart salon as a bather and groomer for 4 years. I am available 24/7 to take care of your pets. We have a large home in Irvine with a fenced yard. I am also happy to come to your home to care for and walk your pets.

About: I enjoy caring for animals to make the travel experience as zen as possible for everyone involved. My experience has been with dogs from puppy to senior with varying physical and cognitive abilities, although I'm comfortable with larger dogs I prefer under 80 lbs unless they are lower energy. I also have experience with kittens to larger cats. * Even if your animal isn't listed feel free to reach out I am always glad to learn. As a long term traveler and wellness practitioner, I work mostly online which grants me the opportunity to work with families and fur babies as needed. I am empathetic and creative when dealing with both people and animals. Which means, I tailor my approach to individual needs to fulfill the necessary requirements
