About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from a very young age. I grew up with a Labrador retriever and am the biggest dog lover there is! I now have a golden retriever with lots of energy and a miniature pinscher dachshund mix who is blind. I can care for your baby of any size, age and energy level. I am currently a student at UCI and have class two days a week, so I’m quite flexible with my schedule and availability. I live down the street from a big open park that I love to walk to. I live in a gated apartment complex that has dog areas, but also live close to many community parks. I am very accommodating to any request you may have.
“Carmen was absolutely amazing! Very caring and punctual. We were just in town for the weekend, wishing we lived closer so Nala could visit again. Next time we’re in the area we will rebook!”

“Lisa was super wonderful with my two year old pup Flour! We did a meet and greet first to get everyone comfortable ahead of the first scheduled daycare. Lisa provided a detailed summary after pick-up and provided updates and photos throughout the day. She seems very experienced with animals and I appreciated her attentiveness and care. I will definitely re-book with Lisa and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Hong did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Lucky and Angel! She is incredibly kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals.

We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Kelli is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our puppy, making him feel comfortable and loved as if he were part of her own family l.

“I have consistently had great experiences with Avancon!. From the very beginning, they made our puppy feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. Our pup can be a little shy and unsure around new people and dogs, but their patience and kindness truly made all the difference. What impressed us most was how they helped our pup gradually get used to playing with other dogs. They were thoughtful about introductions and made sure every interaction was positive and stress-free. My puppy is not only more confident but actually super excited to get there and socialize! He literally jumps out of my arms to get into their house lol We receive updates, photos, and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It is clear that he is being well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitter. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and help them grow socially and emotionally, this is the place. We are beyond grateful and will continue to be clients.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. Our sitter was incredibly attentive, patient, and treated him like part of the family. We got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but I feel completely confident with this sitter and will definitely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”

“I have a rescue dog, Audrey, with really bad separation anxiety. She howls, cries, and barks when I’m not around. Morgan is amazing!! Super friendly. Great communication. Amazing with pets!! This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”

“Xiaoyu was extremely accommodating and was able to take my pup under short notice. She communicated with me the entire time and proactively sent me pics and updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend! 😊”

“My puppy was really living her best life with Dan, and I could tell from the pictures. She got to play with other dogs and splash in the pool. When she's happy her ears fold down, and I got the sweetest pic of her sitting super calm with her ears folded down. A dead giveaway for her! Can't wait to send her again”

San Joaquin Marsh dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sofia is a wonderful dog-sitter... she took amazing care of our pup! 'Cesca was made to feel at home right away, and Sofia's dog Bo quickly became her new friend. We knew she'd be well taken care of from the time we first corresponded with Sofia to set up the play date. She was super timely and communicative, and when we met it was obvious she would be very responsible and take precautions so our active puppy wouldn't get into trouble :) We received pictures and updates during her stay that clearly showed 'Cesca was having a great time. No doubt there will be future play dates with Bo!

Lisa was super wonderful with my two year old pup Flour! We did a meet and greet first to get everyone comfortable ahead of the first scheduled daycare. Lisa provided a detailed summary after pick-up and provided updates and photos throughout the day. She seems very experienced with animals and I appreciated her attentiveness and care. I will definitely re-book with Lisa and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Derek did an amazing job of taking care of our super-anxious rescue pup. She usually doesn’t let anyone pet her easily but we were so glad to see how comfortable she was with Derek and his dog. He also sent timely updates with pictures/videos, gave some great feedback about our dog’s behaviour and shared some tips and tricks. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!

Alexandra is a lovely lady and a wonderful dog sitter! Her communication and responsiveness is exactly what you want as a pet parent. Our pup took to her instantly and had no hesitation as they walked away from us to begin their ‘play date’. Alexandra’s pup Loki was very welcoming as well, and the two of them played like besties right away. I greatly appreciated all of Alexandra’s texts, videos and pics which completely reassured me that Cesca was in great care and having a terrific time. Both pups had such happy faces… that says it all!!

Karla and Armen(sp) were great! It was Tony’s first visit and they did everything to put me ,the anxious fur mom at peace. lol Zara is sweet and easy to get along with. I’m super thankful to have found them and we hope to visit with them again soon:). They are a new addition to our rover family:)
Meagan and Jason were very accommodating to our senior pup Bandit’s needs during his daycare visit. We had a nice meet and greet prior, they asked all the right questions and had a friendly and relaxed vibe. We appreciated all the updates during his stay, and we know Bandit was in great hands. Will not hesitate to book again 🙂

Baining was a fantastic doggy day care sitter. My wife and I needed a sitter for the day while we hosted an event at our home. Baining was very attentive and remained in consistent contact with me throughout the day. She took our two pugs on walks. She asked questions if something was not clear. She also took lots of pictures and videos of our dogs. I highly recommend her if you are looking for top notch and quality care.

Audrey is very kind and took such great care of my dog. I was able to be away with complete peace of mind. She’s friendly, communicative, and did an excellent job keeping me updated with photos. Her dog Bumi is also very sweet and got along great with my dog. I’ll definitely book with her again.
