“Hannah and Dabin are very consistent with sending photos of Maggie throughout the day, and updating what she does. I felt very safe letting the couple take care of Maggie. Definitely will come back.”

“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! 🐾❤️”

“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!”


“Hong did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Lucky and Angel! She is incredibly kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Emuna had such a great time last week so I decided to booked one more time with Sonomi. She exceeded my expectation. Emuna got to play in the park, walk the neighborhood and have healthy snacks. Thank you, Sonomi.”

“First time leaving my pup with Lisa and she was amazing. We have a high energy border collie and Lisa took her on a LONG walk and she was so happy!! Lisa was prompt with her updates and shared photos of her stay as well. Would 100% recommend!”

“My dog Kermit stayed with Mia and absolutely loved it. He had the best time and was cared for exceptionally :) Mia sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay and that really gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Mia!”

“Ning was so kind and gentle with Princess. Every time Princess was with her she would always feel so calm and at peace. She was very patient with her given that princess had dementia and a lot of anxiety.”

About: I’m a full-time work-from-home dog mom to my 2.5-year-old golden retriever, Goose, who loves meeting new friends. I can offer your pet constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I’ve raised Goose since he was 12 weeks old, have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience, and grew up with cats. I can administer medications, follow detailed care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—I already spend my days walking, playing with, and caring for Goose. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, mid-day walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a quick cuddle, a mental-stimulating game, or an extra walk to burn energy, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. Dogs have access to a secure balcony for fresh air and are allowed on the bed for snuggles, but not on other furniture. We follow a no human-food policy to keep pets safe. I stick closely to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and confident in their surroundings. Goose is extremely friendly with other dogs and fascinated (but gentle) with cats; if needed, I can separate spaces to keep everyone relaxed.
About: I've been around dogs & pets all my life - small, medium, large - dogs, cats, bunnies, birds! I love them all and recognize they & their owners need reassurance, cuddles and exercise when you are not there to care for them! I go above and beyond for them! My schedule is open all day and I love taking care of fur babies every day. I enjoy this so much that is does not feel like a job. I am happy to come to your home or office. I am comfortable feeding, giving medicine, going for walks, jogs, toy playing or just snuggles and love.
“Kristina was amazing with my dog! I was visiting from out of town and was able to book her easily the night before I needed her services. Leo immediately loved her and when I picked him up I knew he had a good day. She took him on a walk and let him play outside for 3 hours and he loved every bit of it. I'd recommend her to anyone! I only wish I'd found her in AZ because I book her 3 times a week she's that amazing. Thank you Kristina for taking such great care of my furry big baby ?”

“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!”


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.

“Dani was super sweet, our sitter had backed out last minute and we were scrambling to find a replacement. I contacted her and she responded to messgae super fast. My boy apparently had the time of his life because as soon as he got into the car he passed out lol. I would definitely use Dani again!”

“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!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. Our sitter was incredibly attentive, patient, and treated him like part of the family. We got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but I feel completely confident with this sitter and will definitely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”

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! :)
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!!
