“Michelle was great with our babies. She took the time to come and meet them ahead of time which we so appreciated. She was immediately comfortable with our pups and that”


“We've booked Katie for house sitting and already have another upcoming booking with her. She's knowledgeable, kept our house clean, and was easy to communicate with. Katie provided excellent care for our high-energy puppy and showed great affection for our senior dog. We appreciated all the updates with photos and videos, which kept us reassured and worry-free. We were initially concerned about finding someone who could handle our puppy's playful nature, quirks, and challenging behaviors, but Katie quickly eased our worries. Both dogs seem happy and well cared for, and we're grateful to have found someone patient and understanding of our dog’s unique needs. Looking forward to our next booking! Thanks again!”


“Moriah was an amazing dog sitter for our pup Peaches! She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and made sure Peaches felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated all the photo updates. On top of taking great care of Peaches, Moriah also took wonderful care of our home. She’s responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. We’d absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch Peaches again in the future!”

About: Hello my names Angelica I’m an Experienced pet sitter and Dog Walker. I have taken care of all breeds of dogs from small Pomeranians to XL Dobermans and Mastiffs as well as cats of all kinds. I offer dog walking, sitting ,and overnight care in a pet friendly home with plenty of beach outings as well as hikes and indoor comfort. I love to keep them all happy healthy and active so they can enjoy their staycation. If they are more on the calm side I provide an environment that’s soft and comforting. Pets can stay in their own bed or cuddle with me based off of their needs I love very affectionate and playful but if they are more chill I will just let them do their own thing with activities if they choose to participate. Extra Care: I specialize in pets with special needs separation anxiety, seizures ,behavioral ,dietary needs, elderly and if they need more support. Outings Include: -Dog Friendly Hikes -Beach Days -Dog Parks -Mini Trails -Park Walks -Nature Walks Fun Activities: -Fetch -Playing with Dog Toys -Sprinkler (if they like getting wet) -Hide and Seek (with dog treats) - Making frozen treats together mainly yogurt ,and other pet friendly ingredients Extra Services Provided: -Pick up and drop off -Dog washing and drying -Brushing -Paw balm I do let care as a side or full time depending on my clientele. I’m at home a lot of the time if I’m not at the school or gym and when I go out I bring them with me since I’m mainly going on hikes or the beach so it’s always a fun and safe with me they are all pet friendly places. When I go to school it’s mainly online so I’m just there and when I go in person depending on my class schedule I go to class then go back home. I have an apartment in Irvine it’s pet friendly there’s a lot of trails and places to go near. I let the dogs and cats sleep inside in the room with me or in the living room whenever they feel most comfortable.

“Bennie and Jennie did another wonderful job taking care of Freddie . He is happy to see me when I get home but a bit mopey because he misses them . He enjoys their care and attention. He was fed brushed and played with all the things he needs to keep my baby healthy and safe . I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel knowing they are in my house taking care of Freddie . They are respectful trust worthy and leave my house cleaner than when I left without my having to ask. It’s such a relief knowing I can plan a trip and if they are available I don’t have to worry about anything at home. Highly recommend these sweet caretakers if you need a babysitter .”


“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”



“Jess and Dan were fantastic. They were so communicative and sent lots of great updates with photos and videos. House was also cleaned and kept tidy! Thank you!!”


“Darren was accommodating, easy to communicate with, and great with our puppy, Odin. We did a meet and greet to plan for overnight house sitting and then that same day we had a change of plans and needed a dog sitter for a few hours ASAP. Darren came to the rescue and was able to help us out. From the pictures our puppy seemed to really enjoy his company. Odin was also really calm when we got home. Super grateful. Thanks Darren!”


About: I just love animals and I think it's so cool that we can form friendships with no language commonality at all. I have cared for old dogs, puppies, sick dogs, deaf dogs, hyper dogs, service dogs, dogs that could use more training, dogs who like to hike, and dogs that would rather sit in my tote bag. I love them all, and I will love and care for yours like it's my own. I choose my own work schedule for the most part, which means I have ample time to be with your pet! I am available most every day! I go on so many walks, and it's even better to have a dog that I can take with me. I am happy to stay at your place, or bring your dog home with me. I have a pet-friendly apartment with access to a fenced-in yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but certainly don't require that.

About: I have many years of experience with all breeds and ages including Senior dogs and puppies and also with administering medications and post surgical care I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker. I have availability for daily afternoon dog walks and for overnight stays with your pets My priority at each client’s home is the safety and comfort of your pet, I keep them on their daily feeding, walking and sleeping routine

“Roxy is a gem! My dogs are always so relaxed staying with her. She is great at keeping in touch and sending photos multiple times a day. I am very confident in her abilities and care. Til next time!”


“Alice is the best! She treated our dog like her own and gave us such a sense of relief knowing our pet was in good hands while we were away. She sent frequent pictures throughout the day of what they were up to. I would have Alice pet sit for us again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi, I’m Thomas! From playful pups to wise old seniors, I’ve had the joy of working with them all-and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or time on the couch watching TV, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and needs and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each one special. I currently work from home (aside from the occasional sales call or business trip) so I have plenty of time for walks on the Back Bay, bathroom breaks, and pets on the couch! I love having dogs around, and routinely watch my brother and sister-in-law’s Bernedoodle, Olive. I have no problem having your pup on my couch, and I’m also happy to hang at your home too!

“Mia was the best house sitter! She took care of both my dog and cat and they loved her! She kept us updated throughout the day and we didn’t have a single worry with her around!”


“Brandon was terrific with our pups and taking care of our house. He did everything that was requested and beyond! The pups loved him too! Thank you Brandon!”


“Pilar was a perfect caregiver for our Basset Hound! She has a calm energy (unlike our puppy) so they balanced each other well. She kept in good touch with us and Shorty seemed to have a great time. We managed to snag her over Christmas, but you better call early Because she will most likely be already booked 🙂”


“Abbie was amazing! She gave full reports of the boys feeding and walking schedules and sent so many pictures. She’s really detailed oriented and very communicative. The boys also looked like they loved her.”


“My two large dogs seemed to love their time with Doug! We came home to a clean and orderly home after being away for a few days and appreciated the peace of mind.”


“Gianna is one of the best pet sitters I have come across on Rover. Not only was she extremely attentive to our pets but she also had amazing communication with us throughout. Unfortunately, our dog had some late night anxiety due to a storm and Gianna reached out to me immediately to figure out the best way to navigate this and also provided me with updates throughout the night and next day! I can tell she really cared for our pets and took care of them like her own. I cannot speak highly enough about her and we can't wait to book with her again!”

9. Brayli D.
“Brayli would come to our home daily while we were working and take care of our puppy during the first several months after we adopted him. She assisted in potty training him which required him to be taken out frequently by leash. She did walks, feeding time, play and cuddles! She was also great with our older dog and did the same for him when my husband would leave him home from work. She truly loves our dogs and has always taken great care of them. Brayli is very trustworthy and dependable and is someone you want taking care of your pets!”
