“Igor and his family are so caring and full of love. He took great care of our Vizsla puppy who had to wear a cone for his wound on one of the leg. Will recommend and visit again when needed!”
“Bennie and Jennie were awesome! They sent me lots of updates, which I really appreciated. My cats were nervous at first, but they were so patient and helped them settle in. They had a private room that was clean and thoughtfully set up with food, water, and both a regular and robot litter box. The space even had a nice view, toys, and a climbing wall to keep them entertained. I also loved that my cats got to meet theirs, and the little gift bag they sent us home with was such a sweet touch. Overall, such a great experience—I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you both!”
“1000/10!!! Our girl had the best week while we were gone! She had play time, lovely snacks, cuddles galore long walks, and so much more!! She became part of their family pack and we can’t thank Laura enough! Ginny even attended her first puppy birthday party for Milo!!! 💛💛💛 will be bring Ginny back anytime we need a boarder”
“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!”
“Kalvin looked after my dog, Toby, for a day over Memorial Day weekend. It was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous because Toby — a 9-year-old Poodle we adopted when he was 2 — has some separation anxiety. He usually doesn’t like being left anywhere unfamiliar, unless it’s with friends or family he already knows. To my surprise, Toby took to Kalvin right away! He walked off with him like they were old friends — no hesitation at all. Kalvin was very caring and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. When I picked Toby up, I could tell he had a calm, restful, and happy day. I would definitely book with Kalvin again and highly recommend him!”
“Allison was exceptional, warm, and empathetic. Poppy bonded with her instantly, and she cared for him with genuine affection and attention. She stayed in touch with regular updates, showed great flexibility, and even took him out shopping, which was adorable. Her kindness and empathy made the entire experience feel natural, joyful, and reassuring.”
“We love Kelli! Scuba will be back again in the future for sure. Really appreciate the multi-daily pictures as well. Based on how sleepy he is after picking him up, I know he had a great time.”
“Charlene is really sweet and patient! My dog had a blast at her place, he has been exhausted for a whole day after I picked him up lol. Will definitely see Charlene again🥰🥰”
“We are SO happy to have found Tina!! She is excellent with dogs. She took such wonderful care of our babies while we were away. She sent pictures everyday and gave us updates on how they were doing. The dogs LOVED her and her sweet family. 🥰🥰🥰 We are already planning our next visit with her. Thanks Tina!”
“Tamie took excellent care of our blue heeler Maisie over an 8-day stay while we were traveling, as well as during several doggie daycare visits. Maisie has the best time staying with Tamie. We can tell that she is comfortable, relaxed, and has fun too! Tamie is kind, trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We highly recommend Tamie for any dog care!”
“Doug took wonderful care of Bowey! Bowey had a great time and he even got to meet some furry friends while he’s there. Doug was super responsive and the process from booking to pickup was a breeze. We will definitely book with him again, thank you!”
“Jazmin took excellent care of Sammy. Before the stay, she took the time to learn all about Sammy and his personality, and she made sure he felt safe and happy while we were traveling. I can’t think of a better pet sitter than Jazmin, I will definitely use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Avancon is verry patients..first time we leave our dogs with stranger so we were verry nervous but he sent pix and text us every day.1 of our dog got sick and he took him to our doc .I would recommend him highly. The price is reasonable also.”
“She’s the best caring option you could ever find in whole irvine area to take good care of your fluffy baby. She’s responsible, responsive, clean, kind and flexible and very friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Karla & Arvind provided a safe, happy home for my Pomeranian over the weekend. She was prompt to respond to questions early on and provided photos throughout the stay. Billy was happy and healthy when I came to pick him up!”

I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.

I’m so grateful to have found Lisa! We have a 7 month old blue heeler that is a lot of energy. So it was important for us that she be somewhere where she was getting stimulation and exercise while we were away for 2 weeks. She got to play with other pups and go on walks and also have alone time in a crate to sleep and regulate since she is still a puppy. Lisa is calm and loving and knowledgeable and clearly loves animals :) She kept us updated while we were away so we were never worried. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Tamie is the sweetest dog lover. She took care of my Pomeranian 7 year old who has lots of daily routines and Tamie paid so much attention and in detail to her all day and night. She kept me up to date sending pictures and my dog looked so comfortable and happy. She walked her many times and was fed human great food that I gave her instructions o how to make. I will user her services over and over. I’m lucky to have found her.
Kelly is an amazing pet sitter! She was able to accommodate for a last minute booking and was very easy to communicate with. I received lots of updates during my dog’s stay and it’s clear he got lots of love and playtime in her care. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter! :)
This is my first time using Rover and I am already in love with it because of Hong! Her and her family really took good care of my dog he even still misses them! They are very responsive, keep you updated with a lot of pictures and videos. They really listen to what you want and don’t want to do with the dog! And most importantly, they take a lot of professional and cute pictures of your dog! I will definitely rebook with them in the future! ❤️
Jax absolutely loved his stay with Laura! He felt right at home with her and you could tell she gave him the same love as her own dogs. This is miles ahead of his typical boarding experience. He had access to plenty of activities and space where he could be himself and have fun. Laura was very responsive and kept us in the loop during his stay with plenty of photos and videos. I would highly recommend, there could not have been a better first time Rover experience for us!
We are so happy we found Igor to take care of our baby Mae! Mae had a wonderful time staying with Igor and his family. We received tons of photos and videos on daily basis, and Mae got to walk in the very peaceful surrounding parks and trails a lot, which she loves. Mae also came home super clean, we truly appreciate that! Thank you Igor and Mae will definitely come back every time we go out of town!
Can't imagine a better fit for Archie to stay with than Amanda. As a puppy, he is still working on potty training and training in general - but she was patient and went above and beyond to keep him exercised and feeling loved. Archie came home, happy, healthy, and freshly bathed. She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures along the way :)
Meagan and Jason watched our senior dog for the third time, while we were away on an extended vacation. They took such great care of Bandit, and we appreciated the care and consideration during his stay—things like asking for advice to make his daily walks more successful, making sure he was dressed and dry from the rain, putting padding down on the floor to make it easier on his joints, and keeping him entertained with treat puzzles. Bandit has really warmed up to Meagan and Jason and we can tell he loves staying with them. We would absolutely recommend Meagan to anyone looking for a sitter!
Ning was absolutely fantastic, she took amazing care of my dog! She went above and beyond and really made my dog feel like he was apart of her family. I’m very particular when it comes to my furbaby, but her care, attention to detail and knowledge were amazing and left no doubt that she would do a spectacular job!
This place took such wonderful care of my dog. From start to finish, the care and attention my dog received was amazing. They made sure my dog had plenty of playtime, went on multiple walks every day, and were never left bored or ignored. What really set them apart was the communication — I received daily pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved being there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for their dog.
