About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. After sharing 14 wonderful years with my French Bulldog, Bijoux, I found Rover to be a special way to continue caring for dogs—even when I didn’t have one of my own. I have open availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. During your pet’s stay, I am home full-time and provide attentive, one-on-one companionship. I never double-book or care for multiple pets at the same time, ensuring your pet receives my full focus and care. I live with my partner in a townhome, and he is also an educator who shares my love for dogs. Together, we provide a caring, calm environment where your fur baby will receive plenty of extra love and attention. A meet-and-greet will always be scheduled before any service to get to know you and your pet. This gives us time to connect, discuss important details about your pet’s needs and routine, and ensure that my services are the right fit for both you and your pup. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to share detailed instructions when leaving your dog in someone else’s care, so please feel free to tell me anything that will help me provide the best possible experience—whether it’s medical needs, preferences, routines, or special quirks. My goal is to offer consistent, loving care that mirrors what your pet receives at home.

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.

“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!”

“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”

“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”

About: I have taken my daughter’s and friends dogs out for walks, I enjoy interacting with dogs have watched my daughter’s dog for overnight for few nights. I take walks couple times every day and I’m retired so enjoy interacting with animals. I have large backyard and enjoy gardening and nature. Play with them, feed them and take for long walk with them. Cuddle them. Talk to them I also have big backyard so if needed can care for them there
“Julie was great! My complex is kind of hard to get to but she followed the instructions I gave and took great care of my dog Peach. She even brought packages in that were left at my door.”


“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.”

“Jennifer was so great with our two crazy pups. She knows what she’s doing with high energy pups and helped me feel at ease knowing they were in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.”


“Brie was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to meet with my Dog before her first walk and get the lay of the land at our house, she sent me photos every time she was walking the dog and a full report of how my pup was doing and had done on the walk. She was so thoughtful and attentive- she even noticed our pup needed a bit of ice in her water bowl to cool down after the walk and provided her with some! We will definitely be booking future walks with Brie!”

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for pets, from giant breeds to bunnies. My heart belongs to rescues; I currently have two lab mixes rescued from LA County. I’m deeply comfortable with large, energetic dogs and sensitive strays, providing the patient, reliable care every good boy or good girl deserves. As a small business owner, I dedicate my full attention to supporting professionals who work full-time. I offer reliable morning, midday, and late afternoon visits to ensure your furbabies get the exercise, potty breaks, and love they need while you are at the office. My schedule is consistent, allowing for a dependable routine that both you and your pets can count on every day. I prioritize safety above all else, especially for large breeds and rescues. My experience with LA County rescue dogs means I am highly skilled at reading body language and managing leash reactivity or anxiety. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and ensure all pets are secured and comfortable before I leave. You can trust that your furbabies are in capable, vigilant, and loving hands.
About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
“Yutong has been our regular dog walker this summer and is very communicative and timely! Our pup Wesley loves his walks with her. She is detailed in describing how the walk went and for an additional bonus takes very cute pictures of our goofy guy!”

“Awesome reliable dog sitter. Carol is very flexible and accommodating. This is my second time using her services and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter on SSI.”

About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)

About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.

Molly was such a trooper with my confusing apartment building. I have a senior pug and a very energetic pug so it can be difficult to manage both but she handled everything so well! my doggies had so much fun & she even gave them a treat and refilled their water. Thank you Molly!!!!

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.

Bridget has been nothing short of amazing! She goes above and beyond to communicate, take pictures, takes Mr. Bear on different / long walk routes to keep things interesting, and truly treats Bear as if he’s her own. Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my canine son 💓

Sahba was so great with my large breed dog with special needs. He was great with coordinating time and taking extra care to make sure my boy was comfortable. His calm demeanor and lovely energy were well received and very appreciated. Definitely recommend him for anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.

We had a wonderful experience! She did an excellent job walking my dog, Vivi. Vivi absolutely loves her and was always so happy to see her. She was reliable, caring, and clearly treated Vivi with lots of love and attention. I felt very comfortable knowing Vivi was in great hands. Highly recommend!
I’m so glad I found Brie, she’s amazing!!❤️ I was so nervous leaving my rescue pitbull baby who’s reactive and a runner if she gets out. Brie was so attentive to all of my concerns and made me feel so comfortable. She was so accommodating to my strange requests and consistently sent updates, and the cutest photos! I was able to turn off my helicopter mom brain while I was away, it was wonderful 😭🥰 Thanks again!!
