“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”

“I felt so confident leaving my dog with this sitter. From the very first message, she was so kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in my pup’s needs. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable the entire time , her tail was wagging in every photo and video I received! I’m normally a bit anxious when I have to leave her, but this experience truly put me at ease. I could tell she was not only cared for, but also loved like one of their own. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, playful, and clearly had the best time. Thank you so much for treating her with so much love and patience. It means the world to find someone I can truly trust with my little girl. We’ll definitely be booking again soon! 🐾❤️”


“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍”

“Lisa was great with our 4.5 month old puppy! She took him on multiple walks and sent us photo updates throughout the day. We would book again next time we need dog sitting.”

About: Local TCU student home for the summer who loves animals and is looking for a fun, flexible side gig. I’m responsible, easygoing, and happy to hang out with dogs and treat them like my own. I’m currently home for the summer working a part-time job and looking to fill the gaps with pet care. I already take care of my energetic Duck Tolling Retriever, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, and general care. Attention to your pet, routines, and instructions are my top priority! I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. My own dog is always on the move, so I’m used to staying aware of things like open doors and food left out.
“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”

“Melanie was great! She was super communicative and easy to book with. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. I could tell my two dogs were well taken care of, they were very comfortable and happy! Will definitely book again!”

“Kristina was amazing and very accommodating to our changing schedule, which was much appreciated. She kept in contact and sent pictures and our pup returned very happy 😊”

“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”

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 have grown up with dogs as my best friends and frequently foster for local rescues. 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! 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! Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any questions.

“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”

“Amazing experience sending Tony to daycare with Morgan! Tony was so well taken care of and clearly felt comfortable right away. We loved getting updates and seeing how he was doing throughout the day. He came home happy which was all we could ask for. We’d 100% book again!”

“Kellie is such a sweetheart and was amazing with our puppy. She sent cute photos and videos throughout the stay showing their time together and was super understanding of his clinginess— we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Parenda is very nice and has taken great care of Riley the two times she has watched him. He came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend and will ask her to pet sit again!”

Uc Irvine dog parents share their Rover experiences
Deborah was so great! We did a meet and greet with my dog Bentley prior to daycare - her house is lovely and she made sure Bentley was very comfortable! She gave us many updates while he was there. I highly recommend using Deborah and have already booked her out for our summer travels!

Kat and her pup have such a calm and kind energy. She has an adorable house with a great yard. I’m particular when it comes to my senior dog but I had peace of mind with her. My mom’s puppy joined as well and we got updates and pictures all night. Very grateful to have found her and I’ll certainly be booking again!

Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍

Bandit enjoyed his daycare with Meagan and Jason. He was excited when we arrived and he came back home with a big smile. We continue to be impressed and very happy with the care that he receives with Meagan, and will not hesitate to recommend or book again in the future!

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!

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!!
