About: I have been taking care of puppies and adult dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew up with 3 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and 1 Welsh Springer Spaniel. I now have my own sweet 6-month old Cavalier. I am reliable, patient, and familiar with training, feeding, playtime, daytime routines and needs. I am a Speech Pathologist who is off for the summer! I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week to care for your fur friends. I live in Balboa Village and am familiar walking my own puppy throughout the peninsula! I am a quick learner and will adjust to your animals feeding/play/walking needs!

“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”

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!

About: Hi, I’m Sonya – your dog’s next favorite walking buddy (and so much more)! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I know that every pet has their own personality – and I treat each one like family. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, slow sniff sessions, or just a cuddle and potty break, I’m here to meet their unique needs with love and reliability. In addition to dog walking, I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or medication, and home sitting for those times you’re away and want to make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their people.

I build my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure I have plenty of time and flexibility to give each one the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I plan my days to prioritize consistency and reliability for my clients and their pets. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy – it never feels like “work,” just something I genuinely love being part of every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their pets with the same respect and love I would give my own. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, walk preferences, or favorite toys—and always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety. I take time to bond with them, keep their environment tidy, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible to reduce stress while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home.

About: A few years ago, my neighbor asked if I could watch her two labs while she was on vacation. Ever since then, I've taken care of chihuahuas, schnauzers, and even pit bulls whenever a friend needs a helping hand. I also have 4 chihuhuas and a cat of my own that I love like my own children. I most often pet sit for dogs, but I've also taken care of cats, lizards, turtles, and bunnies. I'm a quick learner and am open to anything! I'm a student at the University of Calfornia, Irvine, but I am currently free almost any day of the week until the end of September (when classes start). After September, I will be available Monday, Wednesday, some Fridays, and most weekends. My schedule is pretty flexible, though, so I'm willing to make things work. I love to spoil my pets, and I'd love to spoil yours too! If that fits your dog's needs, of course. I'm available by text and can give picture updates!

“Carol walked our dog twice a week for several months and was always prompt and professional! Penny loved her walks with Carol and we will miss her as our dog walker.”

About: Hello! My name is Genevieve and I’m a 24 year old medical assistant and animal shelter volunteer! 🐕 Long walks, quick potty breaks, or a mix—whatever fits your pup best 🎾 Regular play sessions—fetch, tug, or enrichment to burn energy and have fun 🛏️ Comfortable with crate training and sticking to your pet’s routine 🍲 Confident with fresh/raw feeding, supplements, and detailed meal prep 💊 Able to administer oral/topical meds, including for seniors 🐶 Experienced with reactive, energetic, and strong-pulling dogs 🧸 Patient with shy, anxious, or rescue pups needing extra TLC 🛁 Light grooming like brushing, ear cleaning, or wiping paws after walks 🐾 Puppy care: potty training, socializing, basic leash manners 🐕‍🦺 Senior dog care: gentle walks, joint support, and extra comfort 💪 Comfortable walking and handling large dogs (70+ lbs) 📷 I send regular photo/video updates to keep you in the loop 🧹 I keep things clean—litter, bowls, food areas, and messes 🧠 Can reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and come 🏡 Happy to water plants, bring in mail, and respect your space 📅 Flexible schedule for daytime care and drop-ins 💻 I study when I sit—just need Wi-Fi and a cozy spot! 🐾 Volunteer at a shelter—experienced with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments MY EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and officially started caring for my own in 2019. I have two corgis—Jarvis and Friday—who’ve taught me a lot about handling different personalities and needs. Jarvis is high-energy and always ready to go, so we do long walks, fetch, and tons of play until he’s finally ready for a nap (then repeat!). Friday is more low-key—she plays briefly but loves to cuddle all day, and I’m happy to give her both. She’s also dog- and people-reactive and has a nose for getting into trouble (counter-surfing, poop-eating—you name it), so I’m extra alert and used to staying ahead of chaos. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter for over a year, where I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny seniors to 70+ lb dogs full of pent-up energy. I’ve learned how to handle even the most intense or challenging pups with patience, structure, and care. Friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, observant, and truly love what I do.

I don’t sleep over for house sitting, but I’ll reliably be there every morning and evening—and can hang out during the day if you’ve got Wi-Fi and a cozy spot to study. Your pets will get plenty of love, care, and company! TL;DR: 🐾 I stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and relaxed 🐶 Experienced with reactive dogs and keeping curious pups out of trouble 🚶‍♀️ Daily walks, potty breaks, and plenty of playtime 🥘 Comfortable with special diets, fresh food, and detailed feeding routines 🏠 I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and respected ❤️ Your pet will be safe, loved, and cared for like my own Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you're away. I’m very attentive—whether it’s managing reactivity on walks or keeping curious pets out of mischief. At home, my dogs follow a consistent schedule with morning and evening walks, hourly backyard potty breaks, and fetch every 1–2 hours. If your home doesn’t have a yard, I’m happy to provide more short walks as needed. I also feed my dogs fresh food with multiple supplements, so I’m confident handling complex feeding routines or special diets. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep your home tidy, secure, and respected while you’re gone.

“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience, walking and caring for dogs. I’ve pet sat 4 pound dogs, and even 50 pounds! I can watch multiple dogs at once if needed, or just your sweet furry baby if you prefer 1:1 attention. Grew up around dogs, I have watched 6 dogs in one sitting. I love them so much!! Cannot get enough! I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 attention. I can take them on as many or as little walks as you’d want. I personally go on walks every 2 hours or so. I have a park in my neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas. Have a patio if they just want air too! I give pets 110% of my attention. I work from home, so they will always have company. I am in a gated community, so it is very safe and pet friendly. Plenty of filtered water to go around! I am gentle and kind.

About: I have had a dog since I was in 3rd grade and absolutely love them! I have been caring for dogs of all ages for years and have gained trust with all my clients! I have a flexible schedule so I can be there when you need it most. As a college student, I am readily available most nights and weekends! I care for your pet in your home, where your dog feels most safe. I don’t bring the dog to my own home because new environments can cause reactions from dogs and I want them to be happy and safe!

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate dog walker who truly cares about the well-being, safety, and happiness of every dog in my care. What sets me apart is a combination of my love for animals, responsibility, and attention to detail. I raised a sweet golden retriever for 14 years. I have a 7 year old golden, Gia, who is a trained service animal. She's intelligent, sweet, and one of a kind. I was an end of life companion to a loving senior dog, Romeo, the last two years of his life. I assisted with the healing of his cancer through undivided attention, and medical care for his special needs. I am truly dedicated to caring for animals through my love and devotion. I genuinely understand their personality and needs and treat all animals as my own. I've walked dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Communication is a priority. I keep pet owners informed, take photos, and leave all necessary updates. I look forward to working with your pet! I have a l flexible schedule. I am organized and can schedule times that best fit with the needs of my client base. I am open during the weekdays as well as weekends. I am open to caring for pets in my home, as well as pick ups for daily walks. I will speak with each client to organize what mutually works best.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid for my neighbors. I grew up with two cats, basically at all times, and was responsible for them, cleaning, brushing, and feeding them. I also frequently take care of my sister's dog for longer periods and have cared for multiple friends' dogs. Most of my dog-sitting experiences consist of the animal staying with me at my home and I walk, feed, and play with them. I have also done the opposite with both cats and dogs where I will visit the owner's house to care for the animals. Finally, I have taken care of both small and large dogs, giving me experience and skills with a range of pets. Currently, I am home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule, but in the past and most commonly I will visit an owner's home once in the morning and once at night to feed and walk the animal, but for dogs could also definitely do a mid-day walk, short or long. I LOVE going on long walks and hikes with dogs too!! In my home, I ensure the door is always closed unless the dog is leashed and we are going on a walk. I also have a small patio out front that is gated, which functions as a secondary safety door in case anything were to happen. At a client's home, I do a similar thing and ensure the door is always closed unless the dog is leashed and we go for a walk. I also would never invite anyone else over to a client's home and always am sure to give all my focus and attention to the animal I am caring for to make sure they are safe and happy.

About: Hey there- I'm Adam. I've had the absolute pleasure of living with and taking care of pets for the last several years in LA and OC. Most recently, my experience has included dog sitting an adorable 80lb Instagram celebrity pooch (ask me about it!) during his owner's vacations abroad. What sets me apart is my attention to the highest quality care and ensuring owners feel at ease while away from their pets. I do this through proactive communication, paying close attention to detail and being somebody you can rely on. My job is to not only make your pet feel comfortable, but also their owner! I'd love to get the chance to help you however I can. I work a full-time day job as a Senior Marketing Manager in Irvine from 9am-6pm. My open windows during weekdays generally range from 7-8:30am, 12:00-1:00pm or 7:00-9:00pm. My schedule is more flexible on the weekends when I'm in town. I bring a warm, fun and friendly attitude around pets that I take care of. At the same time, knowing that every pet has their own unique personality, I make sure to respect their needs and moods- whether they're introverted and like to keep to themselves, more playful/ energetic or just need some pets and cuddles! I'm also comfortable with individual needs (e.g. particular diets, medications needed, types of physical activity needed, etc.). All I ask is for full transparency by the owner of any needs I should be aware of to make sure your pet is given the best care possible :)

About: I provide personalized care for every stage of a dog's life, with a particular passion for senior care. I understand the unique needs of senior dogs – from administering medication to offering gentle exercise and tailored comfort to keep them feeling their best. Whether it's managing prescriptions, specialized diets, or simply providing extra attention, I'm here to ensure both you and your pup have peace of mind while you're away. I also bring flexibility to my pet-sitting services, as I work from home. I can provide your dog with playtime, walks, or cuddles while you're busy, ensuring your furry friend has a great time while you're away from home. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I enjoy taking frequent walk and play breaks with the pets, which helps both me and the animals stay active and engaged. These breaks provide an opportunity for quality time, exercise, and bonding, ensuring the pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a playful game, I make sure to integrate these moments into my schedule, keeping your pet stimulated and content while I work. In your home, I maintain the same level of care as you provide by respecting your pet’s routine and space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, ensuring their daily habits are kept as normal as possible, from feeding times to play sessions. If your pet has special needs, such as medication or medical care, I’m experienced in handling that with great attention to detail and love. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy.
