About: American Red Cross–certified in Pet First Aid. NAVC Pet Nutrition Coach Certified. Dedicated to protecting and caring for animals for a lifetime, with love and dedication. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine: morning walks and feeding, midday check-ins, evening play and dinner, plus weekly grooming and weekend park time for bonding and exercise. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog or a separate room. if needed
About: I have grown up with small and big dogs, so I feel comfortable with all breeds. I have spent years volunteering at a shelter socializing and training dogs. I own a Doberman which has required me to become a skilled handler. Training and exercise are very important to me for dogs to receive, I strive to fulfill their needs! Working early mornings allows me to have the rest of the day to devote to the dogs I am caring for. I am an active person so daily long walks, adventures, and time outside is important to me I only take on the responsibility of one dog at a time to ensure that they get my full attention and care. It is important to me that they are prioritized and enriched from their activities with me
“Ashlee is the best again, I booked last minute and she accepted, very convenient, super nice, our sleepy boy love her! Thank you so much for taking care of him, you’re the best !!!”
About: 20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members. I’m self-employed so I’ll have plenty of time to play, care for, walk, and train your pup if needed! I’m available for your doggy day care and boarding needs! ‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.
About: I’ve been with dogs all my life. I help exercise, play, and babysit dogs for day and sometimes weeks. I am a huge dog lover and will always put dogs first. I am currently working full-time remotely, so I am fully available almost every day with the exception of traveling for work or personal! I am ready to meet so many new canine friends & help in anyways I can to my human friends! I currently live in a condo in Costa Mesa with two large parks near my house so I walk dogs about 2 to 3 times per day and have plenty of playtime inside our condo and when we are watching a dog we never really leave so know that your dog will always be accompanied by me.
“Yichen has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process! She took care of my kitty, sent me detailed updates keeping me reassured while I was away. She is extremely thoughtful and kind, and very communicative!! Highly recommended and I will definitely being booking with her again! 😊”
“Kristen was fantastic for taking care of our cat while we were away for a few days. She was super responsive when we reached out for questions or updates and also was very flexible when we had some adjustments to the times she was scheduled to come by. We were so happy to see our little guy being taken care of so well when we were out!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and continued to have them into my college years as well. I love animals and only want to provide a comforting service so owners know their fur babies are taken care of. I work remotely, so given proper notice I can generally stop by anytime for either drop in or overnight care. My schedule is extremely flexible and I get that life is crazy so I can easily lend a hand. My pets are my kids, they’re my first and last thought throughout my day and I want that same level of attention to be given to any pet I’m taking care of.
“Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. I’ve grown up with dogs, babysat for families, and handled many large breeds with confidence and patience. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to giving your pet the same love and care they’re used to at home. I currently work Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM. I work from home 80% so I am in the area. My entire Friday and Sundays are open and have some limited availability on Saturdays. If you need night droppings I can manage something Monday through Thursday. I’m big on routines and I know how much they matter for happy, confident pets. Your dogs are only with us for a short time, so why not make every day enjoyable? Whatever rules, routines, or quirks your pups live by, I’ll follow them to a T while keeping things fun, loving, and stress-free.
About: I have owned and trained my dogs my whole life, so I've been through it all and have seen it all, crazy pups to the senior years and all in between. I do not bring my dog with me on walks/visits /stays because he's all about playing all the time and many dogs are not interested. I work from home so I am able to adjust my schedule for walks/visits/stays. My girlfriend is with my dog when I do stayovers. Because I am a dog owner, Im used to dogs always being part of my daily routine. For overnight stays we will just go over whatever you and your dog's needs are regarding feeding, meds, walks, amount of time in home etc.
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)
“Yung is reliable and professional. She is quick to respond to messages which is very reassuring when it comes to our fur baby. I was able to book her to help us out last minute and she was very communicative about the details of her visits including lots of photos. She also has amazing independent judgment because I forgot to tell her not to leave toys out for our dog who likes to eat toys and she knew to put things back before she left. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. A close friend of mine trusts me to take care of her 2 dogs and 2 cats whenever she is out of town or goes on long trips. She trusts me and knows they are in good hands. I routinely watch over my roommates 2 cats due to working from home 4/5 days of the week. I would love to be given the opportunity to take care of your precious pets! I work from home 3/4 days of the week so I am fairly flexible Friday-Tuesday to go where I need to throughout the day. Some Thursdays, I work in office during the morning/afternoon. I don’t have too many personal obligations, so it would be easy for me to watch over your pets for the majority of the week! Although I do not offer my own home services. I would treat your personal space with the utmost respect and adhere to any rules that you would require as you are trusting me with your home and with your pets.
Sandpointe pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amelia was amazing with our kitten and very communicative. Loved that she actively played with our cat every visit, especially considering the little one is now a senior kitten. The pictures were adorable (greeting boop!) and provided fun updates on how active and/or sassy our cat was each visit. Very much appreciated her watching our small one. Would absolutely recommend her and book her again!

Sabrina is truly the best pet sitter. She is so organized, professional, trustworthy, and caring. I feel fully at ease when I am out of town thanks to her. She goes above and beyond sending detailed reports each day, takes care of my hermit crabs in addition to my cats, and even cleaned up a hairball for me while I was gone. I can’t recommend her enough!
This was our first time leaving our cats for an extended trip, and Mable made us feel completely at ease from day one. Her detailed visit reports and photo updates were incredible - we could tell how much time and care she put into every visit. She played with their favorite toys, brushed them, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. Finding someone you trust with your pets is everything, and Mable is absolutely that person for us. We are beyond grateful!
Lauren is always responsive and helpful, and follows requests to a tee. We were incredibly relieved that she was available to help us on short notice; we were a bit more busy than usual and booking ahead slipped our mind. Having her help lets us travel with one less thing to worry about.
Anna did an amazing job caring for our Fluffy Bear. Fluffy is very shy and usually stays hidden but Anna was patient and made the effort to spend time with her anyway. On one visit, Fluffy even came out far enough to lick Anna’s hand which says everything. My wife and I were so happy with the care Anna provided and felt completely at ease while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.
Kristen has been absolutely amazing! My cat is my baby and I was definitely nervous leaving him the first time but she has been extremely attentive, sends pictures every day, and is very responsive whenever I have sent her questions. Definitely gives peace of mind when I am out of town!
Marcelle is kind, patient, punctual and a great communicator. She follows through with directions and provides thorough details at each visit. She has terrific skills with elder dogs and puppies. We are always pleased to have her return to our home to care for our dog when available.
Kayla has been the best dog sitter I’ve found on Rover after a long trial and error period! She’s been taking care of our 5yr old corgi and 3 month old frenchie. She has been coming by every day for the last few weeks. Her attention to detail has been outstanding. The dogs enjoy her calm energy and friendly demeanor. I know our pups are in good hands with Kayla! I would recommend her in a heartbeat 💗
Alexsys did a fantastic job taking care of our pets! She gave them the perfect amount of attention, ensured they were well tended to and provided us with detailed updates throughout our time away, alleviating any anxiety we may have had about leaving our pets while on vacation.
Irene is fantastic. Very professional, communicates extremely well, and is great with our dog. Our pup is in a shy phase, and Irene has been extremely patient with her as they get to know each other. She knows how to properly establish a relationship with dogs. She always sends detailed reports, and makes sure our dog is comfortable and has her food and water taken care of. Looking forward to continuing on with Irene.
Elizabeth did an excellent job watching my cats while I was on vacation. She took my booking on short notice and was able to completely accommodate my requests. She sent me lots of update photos and videos that kept me connected to my cats while I was away. I will hire her again for my next trip!
