“Hanah and Dabin are the best daycare provider I have met so far. They are friendly, responsible, and punctual. They took our Peanut for walks multiple times a day and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave him. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare provider.”

“I appreciate Joshua's quick communicating on short notice. We were able to have a nice chat when I dropped off my dogs and make sure everything was okay with his 2 dogs. My booking that day was a pretty long one and he had no problem stepping up to help out. He also took my dogs out for a run, even though I did not ask that from him because it was above and beyond. He happily met my request for extra precaution to block off/shore up the perimeter on the side of house because I was a little concerned about the gate/fence latch that had 1 fastener loose. After I picked my Huskies up late evening, they were even more calm than usual about coming home and winding down for bedtime. Whatever magic Joshua worked, it was much appreciated!”

About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a very important part of my life. Spending time with dogs, playing with them, preparing their food and water, and paying attention to their daily routines comes naturally to me because I truly love and understand them. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs extra patience, I will treat them with kindness, attention, and love just like they are my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will do my best to give both you and your dog a stress-free and reassuring experience. Pets are like family to me — they are like my babies. I always try to follow their normal routine and take the best care of them so they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I pay attention to what they need and let them be themselves while giving them lots of love, patience, and care. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I always care for pets according to the owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and care. I take my responsibilities seriously and always do my best to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while they are in my care.
“Ning is very sweet and sends you multiple updates per day of your pup! She’s very caring and I can tell my dog had a great time staying with her! Would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and companionship. I am very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I work remotely, which allows me to be home most of the day and easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. This means I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to closely monitor pets and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide calm, attentive care.
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.
“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!”

“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 ?”

“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: I raised and took care of family Labrador retriever for 15 yrs. I was her primary source for activity, taking her on daily walks and for swims in the lake. I would give her baths, take her regularly to the vet. As further experience dog sitting, I've walked, fed and kept company my neighbor's dog for many years when they away on vacation and business. I'm highly conscientious, very loyal, trustworthy, dependable. I am highly resourceful, extremely adept at walking safely in pedestrian urban traffic, I have a strong sense of direction, utilizing various modes of urban public transport from bicycle to bus to car sharing. I currently live with an lively cat who acts like a dog in many ways and I enjoy giving him the play, attention he needs inside. I’m currently working from home so I have flexibility to fit in breaks throughout the day. I’m generally available for day care or boarding Monday through Friday. I have a safe and spacious apartment with balcony. My apartment building has a courtyard for walking and other dogs for interaction if desired. My area is walk-friendly, with lots of smells to explore.
“Echo and Rita are amazing! I usually feel guilty and anxious leaving my dog in someone else’s care, but Echo and Rita updated me with lots of photos and videos, and I felt comforted knowing he’s having a good time. They cared about him by asking me about his health conditions and making sure to follow my care instructions. Thank you both, and I will definitely continue to use Echo and Rita???”

“Rebecca was fantastic! She took excellent care of our shy, one-year-old Golden, making him feel right at home. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy our day. She is a professional, friendly, and top-notch pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will be back for sure. A++!”

“Happy to have Neha take care of Hope today! She was super fast to reply and accept the request, probably the fastest I’ve ever experienced on Rover lol. She sent us a bunch pictures throughout the day. Including napping photos lol, which means Hope felt right at home. Neha lives in a lovely area in Irvine so you’ll instantly feel secure for the environment for your dog too. Will definitely book with Neha again if we’re in the area!”

“I have a rescue dog, Audrey, with really bad separation anxiety. She howls, cries, and barks when I’m not around. Morgan is amazing!! Super friendly. Great communication. Amazing with pets!! This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”

Joanna did an excellent job caring for my elderly, medically-complex pup. I was so scared to leave her with anyone because of all her medical issues, but I had no need to be worried - Joanna was great! She and her husband are clearly responsible, attentive and caring animal lovers. When my baby needs daycare again, she will definitely be back with Joanna :)

Sungjin and his partner took great care of my Frenchie. I received plenty of updates and photos. They follow my instructions, made sure my dog was fed and received plenty of walks! I really appreciate you guys going above and beyond taking care of Lilo! Thank you!

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!

Derek did an amazing job of taking care of our super-anxious rescue pup. She usually doesn’t let anyone pet her easily but we were so glad to see how comfortable she was with Derek and his dog. He also sent timely updates with pictures/videos, gave some great feedback about our dog’s behaviour and shared some tips and tricks. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pup!

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!!

Karla and Armen(sp) were great! It was Tony’s first visit and they did everything to put me ,the anxious fur mom at peace. lol Zara is sweet and easy to get along with. I’m super thankful to have found them and we hope to visit with them again soon:). They are a new addition to our rover family:)
