About: I used to raise a corgi and have 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I often help friends with walking, feeding, and checking in on their pets, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. I always pay close attention to their safety, routines, and comfort. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walks and drop in visits. I always plan my day so your pet can get consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine steady. I pay attention to safety, make sure doors stay securely closed, and give updates with photos during every visit so you can feel confident and informed.

About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine! Caring for your fur baby’s will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur baby’s needs!

“Rachel is awesome with our doodle! She is responsible and a great communicator. We trusted her right away and our dog adores her! Highly recommended!”

“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!”

“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was young, I love animals! I have my own furry pet, and I consider him family :) I’m a full-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can provide your pet with dependable, attentive care! I have a social friendly 20lb dog that can keep your fur baby company, if requested! I live in an apartment with its own bark park but I know many safe nature routes, parks, and paved streets for any requested longer walks. I take my own fur baby on them often! :)

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love spending time with them! I have a dog back home in Asia thats 12 years old, and I’ve also helped care for my roommate’s dog on many occasions. From feeding and walks to playtime and keeping them company, I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a very active and energetic person, so if your dog loves to play, we’ll probably become best friends! Whether it’s playing fetch, going on walks, or simply running around together, I’ll happily match their energy (sometimes I joke that I become a dog too! 😄). For more relaxed or senior dogs, I’m just as happy to slow things down and give them gentle attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable cleaning up accidents, giving fresh food and water, administering basic care, and keeping your home clean and tidy. I’ll treat your dog like family and send plenty of photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m just very bored when I don’t have work. Wish to have a pet to play with and take care of them to kill time. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I always respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and organized. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

“Ricki was great! 5 stars all the way! Very professional and knowledgeable! My dogs loved her and u can tell she’s had great experience walking large and smaller dogs. I’d totally have Ricki come back!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every pet. 🐾 As both a mother and a pet mom, caring for others is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of trust, patience, safety, routines, and attention to detail. Your pet will be cared for like part of my own family with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive to your pup’s needs throughout the day. 🐾 Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention while your pup is boarding with me. I have a cozy, secure space and two small furry friends of my own who are friendly and enjoy the company of other pets. 🐾 I also have young adult kids who are animal lovers, so your little critter will have plenty of extra love, attention, and helping hands during their stay. Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet frequently. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m reliable and detail oriented, and will make sure to follow care instructions precisely. I will keep your home safe and clean for your pets while you are away.

About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“My dog liked Courtney very much! highly recommend her taking care of your pup”

About: I have lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been responsible for caring for both my own family dogs and neighborhood fur babies for well over a decade. I currently have an 8 year old German shepherd and have owned a wide variety of dogs over the years. I am comfortable carding for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have successfully potty trained puppies and cared for senior pups. I love and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and feel safe with any breed your fur baby may be!! I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to make my own schedule to spend time with your fur baby. Let me know your pets daily schedule and I will be happy to help! I can walk your pets, cuddle with them, or crate them! I have experience walking both small and large dogs. I am comfortable in homes with dogs and cats.

About: I have grown up with dogs as my best friends. There is nothing I love more than cuddling and playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have had a golden doodle for 12 years, taught her to be a therapy dog, and compete in dog shows. I typically pet sit dogs at least once a month for my friends because they know how much I love them! I also frequently volunteer to foster dogs to help them get ready to be adopted. My boyfriend and I both work from home so we will be with your dogs all day. We have one 20 pound male neutered poodle. I am a runner and very active so if your dogs would like to run I am always looking for running buddies! Pets are my best friends and your best friend would be in amazing hands with me!
