“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“As a first-time Roverer, I had a wonderful experience with Radhika. I appreciated her updates, photos and videos. I know Charlie loved her sniffari walks with Radhika because she now is more calm and sniffy on our walks at home. Radhika is a pro and took exceptional care of Charlie.”
“Lindy is the best!!!! My Husky has high separation anxiety and high energy she made him comfortable and gave plenty of exercise! She is so kind and helpful! I will definitely be a repeat customer! She will be my go to dog sitter every time!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“Jocelyn was wonderful! She was great with communication right away. Our pup loved her and her house! She was so good with sending pictures and taking our dog on a walks! We are excited to book with her again!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”

“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“Priscilla and Allen are amazing. I recently moved to Cali and don’t have anyone to watch my dog. I am so glad I met these two and my dog Jacks loves them too. Plenty of pictures and updates. Great feeling knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“Annie was great! Very thorough and always checked in with us and let us know how he was doing, what’s was going on with his day and sent us lots of pics. She was exactly what who we wanted to watch our Theo and will criminal use her again for our next vacation.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”

About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I’m equally happy to adjust my routine for a senior dog or a pet who prefers a quieter day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.

“Yeji is a compassionate care giver, knowledgeable when it comes to working with cats and highly professional. She is responsive, a great communicator, and our cat loved her.

I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pet and look forward to working with her again. Thank you Yeji!”

She communicated with us every day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shannon genuinely cared about Sky and treated him like she was her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about how Sky was doing meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Shannon to watch Sky again. Highly recommend her!”
“Daria was amazing! She watched my cat for the weekend and it was so nice knowing that she was handling everything. She was always right on time and sent me pictures daily. Would definitely use her again!”

Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to walk dogs, feed pets, clean litter boxes, give basic medications, and provide companionship while they are away.

About: I’ve had many cats over my life and have dealt with all sorts of cats with different personalities, disabilities, or childhood traumas. There’s even this one cat that I’m pretty sure was autistic. For me they’re the least challenging most lovable pets to care for.

“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”
About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.
About: Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog. Flexible. I live in a wonderful dog friendly community with lots of green space, and enjoy taking dogs for walks in nearby parks. I have plenty of time to play with you dog. Please Note: Doggy Day Care in my home is for 8 hours. Every dog has its own unique personality and needs. I am sensitive and flexible to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. By knowing their specific needs, I can tailor our outings to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for both of us.

“I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!”
“DanaRene was very nice and patient with our dog. She took her time at the meet and greet making sure my dog was comfortable. They had a great walk together and I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have always had a love for animals since I came out of the womb! Throughout my life, friends and family have always asked me to watch their pets because they know how much I love to spend time with animals. I’m currently an unemployed, full time pre-med student. I am in my second year at Irvine Valley College. I spend most of my time relaxing at home or studying— which means I have plenty of time to play with or cuddle your pet! I am very dedicated to the health and safety of any animal. It is a top priority to me to ensure that every pet is fed, walked, and played with. Detailed or non detailed, if there is a pet care guide then I will read it top to bottom and stick to it!
“Shannon was fantastic! Needed my Dobie fed and walked for 2 days while I was away 6am - 8pm. After an initial meet & greet, I felt Shannon was right for the job and she exceeded expectations. In addition to providing the necessary poop & pee report, she added additional commentary and plenty of photos. Bianca seemed happy each night when I returned home. I will definitely use Shannon again when needed.”
“I would highly recommend Joseph. He’s a natural with our babies and his calm demeanor is helpful for them because our little bulldog can get feisty with other dogs while on leash. Physical strength was a big deal for us as we have a 60-lb Pit/Staffy mix, and a mini (40lb) bulldog & he walks them at the same time, with ease. We’re grateful we found Joseph!”

With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.
About: I have some valuable pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and two hamsters. Additionally, I've helped friends by looking after their cats while they were on vacation. I've also had the opportunity to witness the growth and training of my close friend's retriever. While my experience may be limited, it has given me insights into the responsibilities and joys of pet care. Currently, I find myself in the midst of preparing for my dream career as a UX/UI designer, which means I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your furry friends any day of the week. ❤️ Unconditional Love: Every tail wag, purr, or nuzzle warms my heart. I believe in giving pets the love and attention they deserve, just as if they were my own. 🚶♂️ Walks Full of Joy: For your energetic pups, I offer more than just walks; I offer adventures! We'll explore, play, and have a blast together. 🏠 Home Sweet Home: For all your pets, I provide drop-in visits right in the comfort of their own home. There's nothing like familiar surroundings to keep them relaxed and content. 🤗 Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether they're shy, outgoing, or have special requirements, I'm here to cater to them. 📸 Updates Galore: Expect regular photo and text updates during my visits, so you can see just how much fun we're having together.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover. I currently have two 3-year-old dogs—a Great Dane and a Mini Goldendoodle—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I also rescued a Lhasa Apso 13 years ago and cared for him throughout his life until he passed away two years ago. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency and caring for a dog through every stage of life. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is to make every dog or cat feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while giving their owner peace of mind. For now, I’m available on weekends since I’m in school during the day. I may be able to help a few evenings during the week as well. I care for pets like they’re my own. I have a mini golden doodle and a Great Dane and am very good at taking care of all their needs. I will do the same for every pet I get to care for.
About: I have had animals since I was eight. I have compassion and patience. I enjoy the animals company and taking care of all their needs I have an open schedule and will accomadate all the animals needs and the pet parents wants for their animals. My goal is to meet all needs I will help pet feel relaxed, calm and not sad while the owner is away. I will play with them and try to make it like a vacation for them.
About: Growing up with dogs, I have a genuine love for animals. My main job offers flexible hours and the ability to work from home, giving me ample time to watch and care for your pet. I provide undivided attention to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I work from home and live alone which gives me a chance to be able to spend time with cats and dogs at the same time. I'll watch over your pet and play with it as if it's my own. they'll be staying in my apartment with me right there at all times. we can go on short walks every few hours.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and from a young age I have been responsible for their care. I have been dog-sitting for neighbors and friends since I was a little kid. I am most experienced with large and small dog breeds. I currently have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Bowie who loves all dogs and people, and a 10-year-old Chihuahua/Wiener dog mix named Lola who also loves all dogs and people. I also have a 12-year-old Indian Ringneck parrot named Cloudy. Cloudy is kept away from dogs when out of the cage for his safety. I am also experienced with small to medium-sized birds and can pet-sit for them as well. I trained both of my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. I can care for dogs with all sorts of needs or special care; I follow instructions to a T, and all pets are treated like family in my home. I work part-time, and while my work schedule is not regular, my pet schedule does not change. I wake up at 8:30 every morning, and the first thing I do is walk and feed my dogs and my bird. If I am not home, my mom, who is just as experienced with pets as I am, will be home, and she will walk our dogs. I feed my dogs between 4:30 and 5. I try my best to have a walking schedule of every 2-3 hours. This usually looks like an 8:30 am walk, 11:30 am walk, 2:30 pm walk, 5:30 pm walk, and our last walk is usually at 8:30 pm. At 8:30 pm, depending on the dogs' mood, I will either let them go to the bathroom in the yard or take them for a walk if they have some energy left. My schedule is always open to change given your dogs' needs. All my pets get 24/7 snuggles, but I am more than capable of giving a dog their space if they just like to co-exist. My dogs are given kibble and a mix of Greek yogurt, cooked turkey, and green beans as their topper. Lola struggles with her weight, so we do usually put food up after about 30 minutes to prevent her from eating our other dogs' unfinished food. Bowie has a lot of allergies, so we usually stick to turkey, salmon, and duck-based foods for his sensitive tummy. Bowie has lots of hair, so in the evenings I usually like to brush him while I watch TV, so I am more than happy to brush your dog if that is something they are interested in. Our home is two stories, and we keep my bird Cloudy upstairs, so if there are any issues between your pet and my bird, it is not a problem if we have to keep them separated. Our backyard is more of a cement patio. We have a patch of turf for them to potty, and we have a really high fence with no gaps, so don't fret if your pet is an escape artist; I am readily equipped! Lola used to be a runner before she got chunky, so I am also experienced in safely handling dogs that like to try and slip out the front door. I do walk our dogs on non-retractable leads as I find that it instills the best walking manners. When I walk my dogs, it is usually just around my neighborhood, which is about a 15-minute loop, but I also have excellent walking trails outside my neighborhood that I can walk the dogs on if your dog would like some extra long walk and sniff time. Lastly, we do not crate our dogs, but if your dog needs to be crated, we can accommodate that. Every situation is unique, and every dog has their own needs, and I will handle them with the utmost compassion and understanding.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Emely was wonderful to work with! She sent photos every day and kept me updated throughout, which gave me peace of mind. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and made everything so easy. I would definitely work with her again!”
“As a first-time Roverer, I had a wonderful experience with Radhika. I appreciated her updates, photos and videos. I know Charlie loved her sniffari walks with Radhika because she now is more calm and sniffy on our walks at home. Radhika is a pro and took exceptional care of Charlie.”
“Wen is a great sitter and my go to sitter for Luna these days. Wen easily handles a unique and sometimes changing diet for Luna, keeps updated on Lunas happenings, and most importantly Luna is happy and excited seeing Wen.”
“Lindy is the best!!!! My Husky has high separation anxiety and high energy she made him comfortable and gave plenty of exercise! She is so kind and helpful! I will definitely be a repeat customer! She will be my go to dog sitter every time!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“We love Sondra and her family and so does our girl, Delilah! We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter that is reliable, responsive and provides such loving care to our girl. Thank you, Sondra!”
“Adrianna was great and Casper had the best time. I was going on a vacation and was able to get some great photos and updates throughout my trip. If I have to leave again for an extended period I would be happy to rebook another stay!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Priscilla and Allen are amazing. I recently moved to Cali and don’t have anyone to watch my dog. I am so glad I met these two and my dog Jacks loves them too. Plenty of pictures and updates. Great feeling knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“We are so happy we found Temi! We were going on vacation for 10 days and our original dog sitting plans fell through. We needed to quickly find a dog sitter for our rescue dog, Lucky. Our initial meeting with Temi was awesome! Her sweet and bubbly personality was the first thing we noticed. Lucky immediately felt comfortable around her. We decided to do a one- night trial run to see how Lucky would do. Everything went great so we were fully confident Lucky would be in good hands during our vacation. We got back from our vacation last week and needless to say, Lucky had a great time with Temi for 10 days. Temi sent us daily updates and pictures so we didn't have to worry at all and allowed us to focus on having fun. Temi kept Lucky active with trips to the park and beach, and pup cups at Starbucks! We will absolutely use Temi again the next time we need a sitter. You can be 100% confident your dog will love her!”
“Nicole was so wonderful with our pup! She was so consistent on updates and pictures. Our pup was truly so happy and loved during his stay. He was truly in the best care! We love Nicole!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lisa was a wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of my dogs, Milan and Dior, and kept me updated the whole time. It was clear they felt comfortable and happy with her. She was responsible, kind, and genuinely loves animals. I would definitely trust her to watch them again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I’m equally happy to adjust my routine for a senior dog or a pet who prefers a quieter day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.
“Wesley Archer enjoyed his time with Anu! She was very communicative, accommodating and sent lots of pics. He looks forward to staying with her and the family again! Thank you”
“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”
