Repeat customer, they did an amazing job just like the first time! Many pictures, cute messages, and even gave us a sweet little photo of his stay to keep. They made him feel at home and he was a happy little camper when he came back. Thank you both so much!!!

About: I am a stay at home mom with a great lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my home and family, and providing attentive, nurturing care comes naturally to me. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I am comfortable caring for young dogs, older dogs, and those who require special routines or medications. I am patient, observant, and gentle, and I focus on creating a peaceful, structured environment where dogs feel safe and relaxed. I believe in balancing activity with rest, offering appropriate play, outdoor time, and quiet moments based on each dog's individual needs. Because I am home full time, I am able to give dogs consistent supervision and adjust care as needed throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care that closely resembles a home with family setting. I am home throughout the day, which allows me to provide dogs with consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is very flexible, pets are not left alone for long periods and are closely monitored in a calm home environment. I am happy to accommodate a wide range of drop off and pick up times. When needed, trusted family members are nearby to help ensure continuity of care. My priority is making sure your dog always feels secure, attended to, and comfortable. My home includes a secure, enclosed yard that allows dogs to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely. There is ample room for movement, rest, and supervised play. follow each dog's feeding schedule exactly as requested and make sure clean water is available at all times. I take routines seriously and am very attentive to any specific instructions so your dog's daily habits and comfort are maintained while in my care.

Connie has been caring for my senior spaniel for 2 years now. She is warm and kind and gentle, and my shy gal took to her right away. Connie sends lots of photos and it’s clear that my little gal is living her best life while I’m gone. I am so grateful for the peace of mind Connie provides and will continue to book her whenever I’m traveling.

Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛

Ning was amazing with Luna! It was my first time leaving my 6 month old puppy for a weekend and she sent lots of picture & video updates so I could feel connected to Luna and see how she was adjusting in a new environment. Ning paid attention to Luna’s body language and made her feel comfortable at her own pace, and I could tell Luna had a great time. I will definitely be booking again!

They sent us lots of photos while we were away, and are super helpful with coordinating dropoffs and pickups around the complexities of travel.

Deborah was the best person we could’ve found to take care of our dog Chelsea. She was very nice and caring towards her, al her experience fostering dogs really showed up. Normally Chelsea doesn’t open up to strangers but she was very happy and confident with Deborah. Everyday we received picture or video updates she looked like she was having the best time. I would 100% recommend Deborah if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your fur baby. ❤️

She sent me cute pics of my pup throughout the weekend at the beach, playing with other new dog friends, and getting lots of love and attention. It made our family vacation so much better having peace of mind knowing our dog was being well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Nicole the next time we are in the Newport Beach area!

Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!

We are so lucky to find Tina for our puppy Mae! This is our first time to use Rover and are extremely nervous. I read so many reviews before we decided on Tina and it turned out to be the best decision for our fur baby! Tina and family took really good cares of Mae, kept me updated on how Mae was doing on daily basis with photos and videos. Tine really gave us a peace of mind while we were away and we definitely will send Mae to Tina every time we travel. Thank you Tina and your beautiful girls!!

We couldn't be happier with the care Lily receives with Jackie! Over the past year, Jackie's hosted Lily for multiple overnight staycations, and Lily has enjoyed every single one. It's become a home away from home for her. From the very first stay, Jackie kept us completely at ease with multiple updates throughout the day that let us know exactly how Lily was doing. It makes being away so much easier knowing we're always in the loop. Jackie goes out of her way to encourage Lily to socialize and play with the other dogs in her care. Lily always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly having had a wonderful time.

Connie earned my trust years ago. I have left my dog Yolanda with her probably 15 times. Connie seems to be super sensitive to the feelings of my dog, as shown over and over in the photos of Yolanda that she has sent daily during all of my dog's stays with her. Yolanda is not well and takes roughly 10 pills each day so I need to have someone who I can rely on during the times when I am away and that person is Connie. I don't take a trip unless I know Yolanda can stay with Connie.

I cannot recommend Dariya highly enough! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety so if you’re nervous about leaving your fur babies and looking for a trustworthy, patient, attentive, and responsible home/pet sitter then I can guarantee you that she is the one to book. Dariya will put your mind at peace and that’s priceless! Dariya took the time to understand our dog’s quirks and routines. Like I said, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She absolutely found a repeat client with us! Any new client would be lucky to have her watch their home and pets!
