Dog Boarding in Research Park, Irvine, CA

“Bennie and Jennie were absolute gems as cat sitters for our 3-year-old during our Mexico trip. Their patience helped him adjust to their home and new feline friends, as seen in the delightful updates and videos. We highly recommend them for outstanding cat care. Bennie and Jennie, your efforts in socializing our little guy with the other cats were truly remarkable. Our family is overjoyed with your exceptional service. Wishing you the very best.”

“Nika watched Louis for a whole week and went above & beyond. She made sure Louis was comfortable and sent regular updates. I am so happy with how much Nika cared for Louis. We are looking forward to next time. 🐾❤️”

“Doug was absolutely amazing! He’s incredibly kind, responsive, and sent us regular photo updates, which made us feel so at ease while we were away. His home is in a great location, and our dog seemed to love staying with him so much that we were honestly worried she wouldn’t want to come home! We would definitely love to ask Doug again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Wendi was an amazing pet sitter! Wendi and her husband treated our dog as if she was their own. Our dog went on so many adventures and Wendi would send us multiple photos a day to put our minds at ease. We also had to change our drop off date and time and Wendi was very accommodating to our change. I highly recommend!”

“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I booked with Baining! She checked in with me every day and reassured me that my dog was well taken care of. The updates and photos really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”

Noor R.

“Vi was amazing! She took great care of our pup (including bringing our pup to family/social events!) and kept us updated with super cute photos daily. Would 100% book again.”

“I'm very glad to have left my dog to Meria when our family went on a trip. Meria is so nice and kindly. She treated our dog as her own. When our dog's old injury recurred and it started bleeding, Meria immediately went to buy first aid kit to stop the bleeding. She really loves animals and took good care of it. I'm very grateful and will come back again.”

“We really appreciate Dan. Our dog, Luddy, has anxiety and trust issues and Dan knew right away how to gently (but confidently) handle him so he would feel safe, he even allowed us to bring Luddy’s bed, which was a plus. Dan was also able to help us out in a bind at the last minute; he was very patient and kind and was in touch with us at least once every day. Dan was very responsive and we really appreciate his extra efforts - separating our dog from the larger dogs and giving him time to acclimate…as well as time on the bed!”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs my whole life. I’ve looked after friend’s dogs while they’re away on vacation. I’ve also looked after my sick mother my whole life and I know what it takes to provide the best care. I’m only at work for 4 hours but my brother is home all day to look after your fur baby! Your pet would be looked after and cared for 24/7! My complex has a little dog park and I go on long walks daily. I am a big dog person and would take care of your pet like it was my own to ensure the best care!!

About: Hi, I’m the proud owner of a 5-year-old female black Lab named Harley. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and my home, and I would be truly honored to care for your dog. I’m an active person—I’m usually up around 5 a.m. and take Harley on walks 3 to 4 times a day. She’s incredibly sweet and gets along well with other dogs, children, and just about everyone she meets. Rover gives me the chance to not only be a more engaged pet owner, but also to share my love and care with others when you need a break or time away. I believe freedom and flexibility are important, but what matters most is trust—and knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own—with love, respect, and plenty of tail wags. I’m a responsible, active, and experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals. I work an early shift from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives me plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pup. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’m available and ready to help. My own dog, Harley, is a well-socialized, gentle black Lab who loves making new friends. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. With a consistent schedule, a calm home environment, and a deep respect for animals, I’d be honored to be your go-to sitter or walker. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like family from the moment they arrive. I live in a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel safe. My dog Harley is calm, friendly, and well-socialized, so she helps new dogs feel at ease. I follow your pup’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and any special care instructions—to keep them comfortable and happy. I provide multiple walks a day (typically 3–4), plus playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of affection. Safety is a top priority, and I always supervise introductions and playtime to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

“Our dog Nori stayed with Anna (Yu-ling) this weekend and seemed to have a great time with her! Anna is really friendly and communicative, she provided plenty of updates with pictures so we felt assured knowing that our dog was settling in. She was also able to meet up with us beforehand just to make sure everything was a good fit! :) Overall great experience, definitely recommend!”

“Igor and his wife are very flexible and great with communication. Jonathan was well taken care of during his stay. He got walked 3-4 times a day and he loved that so much. We received lots of photos and videos throughout the day and we are very happy to book Igor for day care as well.”

“Nicole is Amazing. She took such great care of pups! It was reassuring and relieving to know they were getting such great care!!!! I highly recommend her!”

“Lily spent four days/nights with Victoria. During this time, Victoria provided many updates on the Lily's playful antics. It was very apparent Victoria was engaged with our pup in multiple activities which Lily thoroughly enjoyed; and made for a positive home away from home experience. Thank you Victoria was taking such good care of our Lily!”

Stan J.

“Jazmin took excellent care of Sammy. Before the stay, she took the time to learn all about Sammy and his personality, and she made sure he felt safe and happy while we were traveling. I can’t think of a better pet sitter than Jazmin, I will definitely use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
