About: Hi, I'm Mia! I love pups of all personalities and energy levels! I've had dogs for most of my life, and I've dog-sat for friends and family for the past 4 years. I'll be sure to treat your fur baby with the utmost kindness, respect, and compassion. I'm also comfortable with bully breeds! I'm a graduate student, so my schedule is very flexible! Usually, I keep my early mornings and evenings free, but I'm also happy to drop by in the middle of the day for potty or play time (or much needed stress relief for myself!). My schedule’s flexibility is amenable to last minute bookings and cancellations too. I love all animals, and approach each with respect, care, and patience. I am happy to send photos of your fur baby each time I stop by, take pups for a short walk around the neighborhood, or a longer walk too. Overall, I hope to be a positive addition to your pet's environment :)

About: I have had pets for as long as I could remember. Although my family started with small animals at first, when I was in high school, we got our first cat, a Scottish Fold named Cali! Now I have two dogs, Taco and Willow, and a snake, Java. I am also currently a vet student and have worked in the veterinary field for about 5 years. I have also been in the animal care industry for about 6 years. With my experience, you can rest assured that someone experienced in animal care, animal behavior, and veterinary medicine is taking wonderful care of your dog! Asides from knowing how to perform medical procedures for animals, I also love to train dogs. I’m very interested in behavioral medicine and enjoy training my own two little ones. Taco is task-trained by myself alone. Do you have a behaviorally complex or reactive dog? No worries! I have experience handling reactive and anxious dogs, even having managed to train one to be able to walk on the same side of the street as other dogs! All of my background and knowledge will help me take the best care of your family members! *Please note that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am only available past 5. On most Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free in the morning until noon. For this reason, I offer the best quality care for lower prices!* I am currently a student working part-time, so my current weekday availability is after 5:30 PM (though my weekend schedule is far more flexible). Going on walks and stopping by to care for animals is a great way for me to destress so you’ll know that I am enjoying my time with you loved ones and thus are taking the best care of them! I understand how to read animal body language very well from all of my years working in the vet industry. I know how to approach both confident and fearful animals, as I have a slightly anxious girl myself. I always use treats, attention, and toys as a way to gain their trust and strongly believe in positive reinforcement training, as well as a fear free approach. I know how to ensure that the room is dog/cat-proofed and what signs to look out for should your pet not be feeling well. Important to note that I am fear free certified!

Dorcas has gone above and beyond my expectations with taking great care of my little fur babies, Kona and Lexi. She was very responsive, attentive to details, and communicated well over the course of dog sitting for me. I even asked for a quick drop-in earlier than the scheduled time to attend to Kona who needed immediate assistance. I highly recommend Dorcas to anyone who is in need of a trusted person to take care of anyone's beloved pets and I will definitely book again with her in the future! It is comforting to know that my fur babies are in the very good trusting hands of Dorcas.

About: Hello! I’m Nicole. My family and I are work from home and big animal lovers with over 20 years of pet care experience. We've spent time and cared for dogs and cats, including my beloved Yorkie who lived happily for 18 years (2002-2021). While our heart isn't ready for my own pup, we’re eager to share my love by pets on Rover! If this if your first time booking, please message me for $20 off your first booking! 🐾 Tailored care: As a former pet owner, I understand the nerves of entrusting a sitter with your dog. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual pet (no one-size-fits-all mindset over here!) 🏡 Spacious & Enclosed Environment: Working from home ensures continuous companionship. Our 5,150 sqft lot, along with a fully enclosed backyard and gated front yard, offers a secure area for play and relaxation. 🎓 Specialized Expertise: Whether it's training lively puppies or providing gentle care for senior dogs, our experience spans all life stages. We can follow detailed instructions for your pet's schedule and needs. 🌳 Proximity to Nature: Your pets will enjoy the outdoors with two parks just a 5-minute walk away. Regular walks and playtime both indoors and outdoors 👫 Duo Caretakers: With 4 people in the household, you pet will not be short of attention and affection! I will be the primary caretakers and the ones to communicate with you and share photos daily 💤 Sleeping Arrangements: Pets are welcome to make themselves at home on the first floor, and they can even sleep on the couch if they like, while us humans are upstairs for the evening 🏡 Work from Home Advantage: I work from home 5x a week, which not only provides flexibility, but allows me to be present for your pet consistently! 📱 Instant Communication: We will send ALOT of photos of your pet and you'll receive real-time updates on your pet's activities. I'm just a message away, very responsive, and ready to share photos and keep you informed about your furry friend's day! 🏡 Safe and Secure Environment: Our home is pet-proofed. From secure gates in the front yard and backyard, to designated play areas. We have made precautions to ensure your pet's safety. We've implemented measures such as non-toxic plants and pet-friendly spaces to make our environment as comfortable and secure as possible. 🔍 Transparent Care: Trust is paramount. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and detailed reports about your pet's activities and well-being. I believe in open communication and transparency to build trust and peace of mind for both you and your furry companion. 🌿 Pet-Friendly Atmosphere: Your pet isn't just a guest; they're part of the family! They're not only allowed on furniture but encouraged to snuggle up and make themselves at home.

About: I’ve been a cat mom to two spoiled fur babies for the past two years. I’m super familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving all the cuddles (if they want them!). I treat every cat like my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available all day throughout the week to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. I only offer drop-in visits, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

11/10 pet care! I was away for a long time, but I received great, thorough, daily updates. I returned to a very happy, healthy dog and an immaculately clean apartment (which is a huge deal with my messy dog)! The level of responsibility and detail-oriented work done has me blown away. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! My name is Van and I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I used to have a dog myself, so I understand their unique needs whether it’s high energy walks, gentle strolls for seniors, or extra patience with puppies. I provide attentive, loving care and make sure every walk is fun, safe and tailored to your pup’s personality. I fit dog care/walking into my day alongside with rebuilding my baking business in a new city. I genuinely love being around dogs! Right now, it's just a side gig, but I’d love for it to become a bigger part of my routine. Getting outside, spending time with pups, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I really enjoy! It also gives me my puppy fix since I probably won't own one for awhile. I focus on making your pup feel comfortable, safe, and loved. For walks, I tailor to their energy/pace level and make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. During drop-in visits, I ensure they have food, fresh water, potty breaks and lots of affection and playtime. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of feline personalities. I grew up in a cat-loving family—my mom has three cats, and I currently live with one myself. Back in college, I lived with and cared for five cats, so I’m very familiar with the daily needs, quirks, and comforts cats require. Whether it’s feeding, playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life—I have a cat of my own, so feeding, playing, cleaning the litter box, and giving affection are part of my everyday routine. I enjoy building quiet moments into my day to bond with animals, and I’m used to adjusting my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or extended care, I’m happy to make time for your cat like I do for my own. In my home, I create a calm, cat-friendly environment with cozy resting spots, clean litter boxes, and plenty of toys and enrichment. I maintain a consistent feeding and cleaning schedule and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication, or playtime. I always take the time to bond with each cat, giving them the attention, space, or affection they need. Cleanliness, reliability, and lots of love are my top priorities.

Dorcas has gone above and beyond my expectations with taking great care of my little fur babies, Kona and Lexi. She was very responsive, attentive to details, and communicated well over the course of dog sitting for me. I even asked for a quick drop-in earlier than the scheduled time to attend to Kona who needed immediate assistance. I highly recommend Dorcas to anyone who is in need of a trusted person to take care of anyone's beloved pets and I will definitely book again with her in the future! It is comforting to know that my fur babies are in the very good trusting hands of Dorcas.

The level of professionalism exhibited by Nicole and Aaron was outstanding. They took the time to ask detailed questions about my dog's preferences, quirks, and any specific instructions I had. Communication was clear, and I felt confident that my pup was in capable hands. It was evident that Nicole and Aaron genuinely cared for animals. My dog took an instant liking to them, and I could see the positive impact on my pup's demeanor.

Pauline was so communicative and friendly, Amigo was so excited and happy after the drop in visit. We are new here in Orange County Irvine so we are happy that we found our new favorite dog walker/dog sitter so fast here. Highly recommend Pauline and will definitely book her again with Rover next time.

About: I’ve been a cat mom to two spoiled fur babies for the past two years. I’m super familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving all the cuddles (if they want them!). I treat every cat like my own and always make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available all day throughout the week to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. I only offer drop-in visits, and I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

11/10 pet care! I was away for a long time, but I received great, thorough, daily updates. I returned to a very happy, healthy dog and an immaculately clean apartment (which is a huge deal with my messy dog)! The level of responsibility and detail-oriented work done has me blown away. Highly recommend!

About: I grown up with dogs and cats and other animals since I was born. My family are animal lovers, I don’t own a dog at the moment, but I have been taking care of my 5 beloved chinchillas since 4 years ago. I believe unconditional love and dedication on caring them each day bring a healthy and long lasting happiness and friendship between human and animals. I’m working full time with tuesday through thursday working from office. I am available walking dogs or drop in on friday afternoon/early evening, weekend most of time based on advance communication. I also can walk dogs on Monday evening. I have chinchillas they are in their own cages most of the day. I do have existing pin and crate for small dog, my balcony is also open for dog to enjoy.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of feline personalities. I grew up in a cat-loving family—my mom has three cats, and I currently live with one myself. Back in college, I lived with and cared for five cats, so I’m very familiar with the daily needs, quirks, and comforts cats require. Whether it’s feeding, playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life—I have a cat of my own, so feeding, playing, cleaning the litter box, and giving affection are part of my everyday routine. I enjoy building quiet moments into my day to bond with animals, and I’m used to adjusting my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or extended care, I’m happy to make time for your cat like I do for my own. In my home, I create a calm, cat-friendly environment with cozy resting spots, clean litter boxes, and plenty of toys and enrichment. I maintain a consistent feeding and cleaning schedule and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication, or playtime. I always take the time to bond with each cat, giving them the attention, space, or affection they need. Cleanliness, reliability, and lots of love are my top priorities.

We were so fortunate to have Zi as our cat sitter for the past three months, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Zi showed great responsibility and genuine care for our cat. She made sure that all the basics were always covered: fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box. What really stood out was the extra effort she put into spending quality time with our cat. Cats can often become lonely or stressed when their owners are away for extended periods, but thanks to Zi’s attention, playfulness, and patience, our cat remained happy, healthy, and in great spirits. It gave us incredible peace of mind knowing that someone so caring and reliable was looking after her. We could see that Zi truly enjoys being with animals, and our cat quickly developed a strong bond with her. Zi is not just a pet sitter who takes care of the essentials; she goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and kind-hearted to care for your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Zi. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Esther is reliable, professional, and clearly experienced with cats — my normally shy kitty warmed up to them quickly, which says a lot! She followed all my instructions perfectly, sent me quick updates with photos, and made sure my cat was not only fed, but also given attention and affection. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in good hands when I’m away. I highly recommend it to any other cat owners looking for trustworthy and caring help!

Minghua (also goes by Alice) took amazing care of our elderly dog, Heide. We left town abruptly and she was able to do drop in visits with very little notice. Heide is 16 years old and requires daily medicine. Heide has recently refused to eat on a few occasions and wouldn’t eat while we were gone. Alice did everything she could to get Heide to eat her food - including hand feeding her. She went above and beyond with communicating that Heide wasn’t eating properly. We ended up coming home early to be with Heide. We are so thankful for the throughout communication and efforts with caring for Heide. We will definitely rehire Alice!

Lauren was able to accommodate our last minute request since the previous sitter we booked was unresponsive literally a day before our trip. She was quick to reply and aware of our situation, we greatly appreciate she making the time to take care of Pão and Koko during our trip! Lauren is an amazing pet sitter, my cat Pão is a little shy but she made her completely comfortable during the whole time! She also took care of everything else super well (even taking in packages we received when away) that we greatly appreciate, and followed all our instructions for care without missing anything. I will definitely book Lauren again since we had an awesome experience with her, and I highly recommend her as your next sitter!

Holly was so excellent with our kids. Timely and so affectionate, when helped us keep our plants alive! She made sure their water was always full and that kittybox didn’t need to be changed. We got a lot of great pictures as well. Can’t wait for our next trip and hopeful that Holly will be available again; our babies loved her! ❤️
