“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!”
“Morgan is absolutely terrific! And her dog Attitcus is also a good playmate too! Morgan is very communicative— she provides tons of updates (both in photos and in writing) so that you know your pup is in good hands! She’s very responsive in her messages throughout the day. You’re never left wondering how your little furry is doing. She’s very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. She cares about your dog and its wellbeing in that it’s having a fun time at her place. She even dealt superbly with a surprise diarrhea situation that our puppy had. I’d highly recommend Morgan to others!”
“I will start by saying that I was nervous to leave Harley here as he is a little sensitive guy and not used to children. Jia has two adorable kids full of energy. But then I saw how absolutely gentle they were with Harley and Jia herself is an absolute delight! She really communicates and connects well with my Harley and now he looks forward to seeing Jia and the kids. She is very flexible, gives updates often, ensures he eats and gets a good walk in while also spending plenty of snuggle time with him. Jia's is becoming Harley's second home.”
“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: 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.
“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!”
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.

About: I was a Bitchon mom and he just left because of cancer. When he left, he was only 13. I have knowledge of making home cook meal, knowing all of their needs . Taking care of pet is my lovely duty ever. I’m currently work from home everyday, I have lots of time to take care of and walk your baby. I accept one dog per time, so if your furry baby needs attention or needs to stay along, my place will be good fit. Since I no longer have a dog myself, my place will be only on boarding your furry baby. It’s apartment style, and rug on floor to protect their joins when they run around.

I would love to take care of your pets! I am a retired school teacher and administrator. After retiring, I worked in the PetSmart salon as a bather and groomer for 4 years. I am available 24/7 to take care of your pets. We have a large home in Irvine with a fenced yard. I am also happy to come to your home to care for and walk your pets.
“We found an angel in Tamie! For a pup with medical issues, finding trusted care is so challenging. Then we found Tamie. Not only did she lavish love on our boy, she kept this nervous mom updated and sent along lots of photos. And on the way out, Monte ran back to give her a kiss. ❤️ She is truly a lover of dogs and we can’t wait to use her services again.”
“Maya is the sweetest most down to earth person I’ve met, I’m so happy I met her through Rover to watch my pup while I attended classes. I will be booking with her again!”

As always, thanks for taking great care of my pup. Jing, James & Tato are so sweet with her! Thanks and see you guys soon!
We loved her! & Noorie loved her more we’re sure!! Our dog went to her happily & came back happily too! She took her for a walk - and I could tell this was definitely the best decision to go with Alexis. Thank you!!
Nicole is great! Super flexible and understanding with schedules and took great care of the puppy - couldn’t ask for more!
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!
It was the first time having my pup taken care of by a non-family member. Monica was so nice to meet with me before hand, meet Ellie, and reassure me. All the pictures and updates have been awesome!
Marsha was wonderful to have London stay with! She was very attentive and communicative, sending multiple updates throughout the day!
My dog had a great time and came home very happy and relaxed. It was his first time being there and he was so well taken care of. The other dog there is super sweet and they got along well.
Geraldine was great! She sent a bunch of pictures and was super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future!
Tiffany took great care of Bumi! She has a sweet, playful dog who got along well with Bumi. He can be pretty shy and homesick, but he adjusted quickly and even felt comfortable enough to snuggle up next to her which doesn’t happen often. She gave frequent text, photo and video updates. I really appreciated her gentle, friendly approach and will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bumi!
Cindy was the best with my puppy Fin! She updated me all day, took him on multiple walks, and kept him active while I was at work!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much! Fin had the best time with you. 🐶🤍💙
This is my first time using Rover and Baining made everything easier for us start from the beginning until pick up time, send us a lot of pics and updates, which my doggie looked very comfy and relax 😊. Baining is very kind and she has an excellent customer service, very recommended. I really appreciate it, Baining, 5 ⭐️.
Jessica took very good care of Leo! Leo got along with her dog and played with each other a lot. She sent many pictures & videos of Leo! She was very communicative & proactive.
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.
Bridget and her husband are the absolute BEST dog sitters you could ask for! From start to finish, they made me feel completely at ease by sending thoughtful updates and adorable photos throughout the day. Their care and attention to detail are unmatched. Highly recommend if you want to ensure your fur babies are in good hands!!! 🤍
Alyssa responded to a last minute request to watch my dog for doggy daycare. She immediately shared photos of him and he looked happy as a clam. She was flexible with her time, and I knew my dog was well taken care of. I would book her again.
Charlene and her parents always do a great job taking care of our little dog! They are very communicative and he loves spending time with them. We've rebooked them several times and plan to do so in the future.
Tori took great care of our dog during his daycare stay with them. They were responsive when asked for an update and provided a photo.
I’m always a little nervous to leave my rescue pup places as she has separation anxiety, but she seemed to have a great time! She was there a couple of hours and had a fun time running around the backyard and soaking up some affection. McKenna was able to give her the attention she needs to keep from panicking when I’m gone and I really appreciated it! no complaints and would 100% hire again 😁
