Doggy Day Care in University Park, Irvine

“My dog was very well cared for and came home happy and tired in a good way! He got some good walks in and Kathryn is excellent with animals and takes the time to share walks, pictures, and videos. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Kristina was amazing, so patient and warm with my dog! it was our first time using Rover and she was so great at communicating! We are going on vacation soon and planing on leaving her again with Kristina and her family for a few weeks.”

“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!”

About: I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us. I have a very flexible hybrid job that allows me to adjust my schedule as needed. My husband also works hybrid. Both of us only go into office 1-2x/week but we alternate days so there is always someone at home. We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.

“Such a good experience with Ashley! She is so responsive and provided frequent updates with photos. Our doggie loved staying with her and was so excited when we dropped him off. We will definitely be using Ashley as our go to Rover sitter!”

“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care for the pets I watch. I truly see them as part of the family and always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience working with both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs. I’ve also worked with rescue dogs, and I understand that they sometimes need extra patience, compassion, and time to feel secure. We have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax and play, along with a great setup for potty breaks throughout the day. There are lots of quiet, safe places to go for walks. Pet care fits really naturally into our daily routine because we have flexible work schedules. There’s almost always someone here to give the dogs attention, care, and plenty of love. We also gave a dog who loves new friends!! If necessary we have the space to create separate areas for dogs who do best on their own. My goal is to make every dog feel at ease, whether they’re with us for a day or an extended stay. I also send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I'm the guy at parties hanging out with the dog. I have an adoring obsession with dogs but have been cursed with just bad enough allergies to not have a permanent one myself. Fortunately I've been able to live vicariously through petsitting for friends, but they can only go on so many vacations (despite my insistence)! I grew up with a lhasa Apso named Buster, two terriers named Haley and Comet, and a Chihuahua named Dodger, along with occasionally pet sitting for extended family and friends. I miss having a pooch around and would love to give yours a safe, relaxing place until you get back. I work a regular 9-5 job, Monday-Friday but work from home on Thursday and Friday. My office is about 2 miles away and I almost always come home for lunch. My weekends tend to be very flexible. I live in a very clean and safe area in Irvine that allows for nice walks with plenty of exploring. My apartment is a pretty standard 1 bedroom with pretty good space, and a second floor patio if your dog likes to chill outside and make some friends (or enemies?) with the local birds!

“Jing and James were very friendly and so was their dog Tato. Their place was nice and it was in a nice area with a park right across the street. Can't complain!”

Anat S.

“Our pup came home happy and tired, it definitely looked like she had a fun day at Doug’s! He took her out on walks and she got to hang out with other dogs. Pickup & dropoff were easy and Doug was very friendly.”

Merissa M.

“Baining was so thorough and open with the whole sitting process. She sent update videos to me and treated my pup like he was the only pup in the world. He didn’t want to leave!”

“First time rover user here! We were in such a pinch looking for a last minute sitter and we found Meagan. We’ve never left our newly adopted dog Willow with anyone she doesn’t know before. Meagan and her fiancé were so accommodating and sent so many great photos! Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!”
