“I found them the day before, and Bernard and Hung were wonderful with Milo, our 6-month-old puppy, over the Fourth of July. Despite the short notice, they were very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, making the busy holiday much easier. They kept us updated with prompt communication and plenty of pictures, giving us peace of mind. Milo was clearly well cared for. We appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and communication, and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking caring, reliable sitters.”
“Claudia was a great sitter for Rocky. He stayed with her for 3 nights. I got plenty of photos and videos. She was a great communicator. Rocky had accidents in her house, and she dealt with it really well - even asked if she can put a diaper on him. I appreciated her understanding and kindness. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Nicko and Nola got excited this time when we arrived at Natalia's home. It's so wonderful to know that we have a safe place and trusted sitter so that our fur babies to have their own vacation while we are away. Thank you, as always Natalia for taking such good care of them and for keeping in touch with us throughout the boarding.”
“Jess and her family took great care of Louie. I had no worries about him while I was away. Loved the photo updates and he seemed to get along really well with Mookie. Thank you so much for your care and attention to my dog.”
“Wow, was this a great experience! Dubele and her daughter, Van were incredibly communicative, kind, and patient with me from first contact all the way to picking my cats up at the end of the booking. They sent daily photos and provided updates as often as I asked (and even when I didn’t!). Overall, I cannot recommend Dubele enough as a petsitter. My cats, who are terrified of new people, were curled up on her lap by day 2! I will definitely be using their services again anytime my cats need overnight boarding.”
“Madison was an excellent caregiver to our dog, Buddy. She communicated often and sent updates with pictures. Buddy had a wonderful time with her family and other pets. Top notch!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yvette was an amazing host for our little Juno! She kept us up to date on all that was going on (walks, naps, etc!) while we spent 3 days at Disneyland. We had never boarded a dog before and were nervous about having someone we did not know watch our puppy, but Yvette immediately put us at ease and Juno had the “Doggy Vacation” of her lifetime! Thanks again Yvette! We will definitely call you again if we are in the area!!!”
“cannot recommend them enough!! They took such incredible care of my baby Noori during my wedding weekend, and honestly went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did they watch her with so much love and patience, they even brought her to my wedding exactly when I needed her and handled everything so calmly and kindly. During such a stressful time, knowing Noori was safe, happy, and loved meant everything to me. They were so professional, thoughtful, and truly kind souls. My family and I are forever grateful. Noori absolutely adored them too 🥹🐾 If you need someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, they are the BEST. Thank you for being part of such a special moment in our lives 🤍✨”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large. I currently work part time and am able to do dog walks when needed. I also can board dogs at my home and walk them before and after shifts. I have a fenced yard where dogs can room for a potty break. I have experience with senior dogs and am able to administer medication. I love all dogs and have experience with small, delicate dogs.
“Julie and Justin took such great care of our dog, Mia, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. They kept us updated, sent photos, and made sure Mia was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Mia can be a little shy at first, but she quickly warmed up to them, which says a lot. It was clear that they treated her like part of the family and genuinely cared about her well-being. We’re so grateful for their kindness and attention, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, Julie and Justin, for taking such wonderful care of Mia!”
“Aidee did an amazing job with Olaf. We were gone for a week and half for our honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday. It was nice seeing his photos and knowing he was happy and safe. She listened to my concerns and put them at ease. The first day he wasn't eating much so she sat with him so he'd be more comfortable. I really appreciate knowing that he was with someone who cares and is attentive.”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Anne & Jason did an excellent job caring for our 5 pound dog. They were so good to send me daily pictures and promptly answer any questions I had. We will definitely be using them again and have already booked them for our next trip.”
“They took such great care of Zero while we were enjoying our time at Disney. He loved playing with their dog, and she was constantly sending pictures and videos of him. We would definitely use them again if we come back to Anaheim! Thank you!! 🫶”

About: I’ve had doggies all my life. I currently have a 4 year old miniature Aussie who is extremely spoiled and loved. His name is Dusty. He’s very friendly and welcoming. Also have our yellow dilute Australian Shepherd. He’s a rescue and hes already sooooo loved. He’s more on the shy side. I've had a lot of experience dog sitting for friends. I absolutely love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. I was responsible for grooming and caring for a large black lab throughout the last 6 years. I also have had some experience with puppies, senior dogs and providing medication to pups if needed. I work from home from 5am to 1:30pm, Monday through Friday. This gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with my little Aussies and your little ball of fur! I would be able to care for pets overnight, take them on morning and evening walks and spend time playing with them. I'm available during the day also on weekends. In my client's home I would provide attentive care to the pets and spend a lot of playing with them. My home has a a large yard for the doggies which they will have access to go all day long through a doggie door so they can play. The yard is gated and is kept locked for their security. I am only 5-10 minutes away from Disney, the Angels stadium, and the Honda Center🎡🎠🎢 I’m excited to help care , love and play with your fur babies. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and your doggie will never be left alone for longer than it would take me do the normal grocery store runs. I have a large yard for the doggies who have access to the yard if wanted with a doggie door. Gate stays locked so people can’t simply walk in. We also have a crate for added safety and comfort for your doggies needs.
“Chelsea and Richard are very caring and conscientious. They always respond to messages and send updated pictures daily. I recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring people to care for their pet.”
“Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book again!”
About: While I don’t have as much experience with cats as I do with dogs, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and caring for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Spending time with them has helped me learn how to approach cats patiently and respectfully while paying attention to their individual personalities. I understand that some cats are playful and social while others prefer a calmer environment, and I’m comfortable matching their energy and giving them the space or attention they need. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I've grown up with pets and have always been aware of each of their personalities and telling communication. Some prefer space and some prefer attention and I can easily provide either depending on the owners or pet's needs/wants. I work as a behavior technician and the summer schedule is slower. I still have 1-2 clients each day but only for 3-4 hours a day so I can easily take care of a pet and then go to my client, then come back. My weekends are always busy. I cannot take pets to my apartment since my floor does not allow pets with hardwood flooring, but I can go to the pets home, walk, take them in my car to go to a dog park/beach, and care for them in their own home. I respect the owners and pet's spaces because if it were my own, I would want trust in this relationship.
About: I've been caring for cats for many years and currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, and care for their cats while they're away. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing companionship. I'll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Emilie was incredibly sweet and attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond to help my cat feel comfortable and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We truly appreciated her care and communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter, and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”
“Thanks so much! I first booked Ally to help with my beloved dog Gracie, who was ill and on a lot of medications and needed some speciaized attention while my father took care of the other animals in the house. She came for a meet and greet to learn the layout of the house and meet the pack and see my complex feeding instructions. Unfortunately, my Gracie passed only a few days before my trip. 😭 Ally was willing to work with my ever changing needs with ease. She was super kind and ended up still coming twice during my trip to scoop the litter boxes and clean the dog bowls etc. She sent photos and an update, telling me how everyone was doing. It really helped ease my mind to have someone checking in while I was gone. Thanks again!”
“First time leaving our boy with a sitter and I couldn’t have a better experience! Oliver came home happy and I felt so relieved and would definitely want all sitters to have the same warmth and kindness as Gloria. Definitely recommend and WILL have oliver board with her again! ?”

“I came to California to visit and needed a place for my doggie! I called so many doggy daycares but they were all booked, someone recommended me to use Rover and I decided to take a look and I found the first three people but the other two couldn’t take care of my dog so I decided to leave her with Romina! It was the best decision I’ve ever taken because she took care of my doggy very well, she walked my dog took her in her home and played with her, she let her sun bathe and gave me hourly updated on my doggy! My dog absolutely loved her and her partner ! If I ever come back to California I’ll definitely bring her back to Romina! And I’ll forever appreciate it! 🫶🏼”

She really takes the time to understand each dog and make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and set up for a great stay. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our Disneyland trip knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. He came home happy, relaxed, and so clearly well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves the dogs she watches and puts a lot of care into creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for them. We are so grateful for the amazing care she gave him and would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!”

“I honestly can't say how amazing Maira was. I had to book her super last minute and she went above and beyond to make both me and my dogs feel comfortable with the process. Including I might add, needing to add a walk mid trip due to flight timing that she was able to book me for. The dogs were obviously happy, the rover cards she sent were informative, and I couldn't be happier. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future and recommend her highly.”

“On time, professional, and very personable…Dakota was happy and excited after his walk. Will definitely continue to book Claudia for future walks or daycare in the future.”
“Lily is one of my go-to people for dog walking and dog boarding. She is very attentive to my dog’s needs and habits and does a great job updating me on how she’s doing. She has gone above and beyond what I’ve asked of her. On a rainy day she made sure to wipe my girl down with a towel so my house wouldn’t get dirty with her wet and muddy paws. Another time she walked my girl for another 10 min past the booking time to make sure she was able to poop before bringing her back to the house. Your babies will be in good hands with Lily.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families pets over the last 15 years. I have had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments and ages. I have a pair that frequently stay with us. About 4 times a year for 2-week periods. I’ve attended training classes with my own dog. I work from home full time. I do drop off and pickup for my 3 kids. Their school is a 7 minute walk from home. On the weekends I normally run errands (groceries, etc) with my twins while my husband manages my son’s baseball commitment. We’re fortunate to have great backyard space and a pool that is fenced in. There is space for a playground for my kids and grass area for the dogs. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the space we have given that we live in Orange County. Our dogs are welcome to sit on the couches/beds.
About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I specialize in caring for senior dogs and smaller/medium pups. Over the past year, I’ve been fostering a dog while working closely with a professional trainer. This has given me hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and training needs. I am available during evenings and weekends. I currently work at a coffee shop and get off early in the day. I can attend to pets after work. I may be helpful for those with late-night jobs, such as bartenders or event hosts. Dog Walking – I will always go to you. I have treats (and water + a bowl!) to keep pups happy and hydrated. My walks are calm, full of sniffs, and focused on comfort. If you’re training your dog, I’ll keep things consistent. I can also provide more high-energy walks. I do NOT pull or tug dogs. Drop-In Visits – I’ll feed your pup, refresh their water, and give them love, playtime, or cuddles so they feel cared for while you’re away. I can also do a quick 15-minute potty break during this time. *If you have an elderly dog: I prefer to use the treats you normally give them to avoid upsetting their stomach. Please provide treats you’d like me to use.
About: I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have been caring for a stray cat colony/TNRed for many years. I am a very patient and clean individual with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. Two of my childhood dogs lived to 13 and 15 and passed away from cancer complications. This has helped me learn how to nurture and care for senior dogs and those with medical complications. The heartache is totally worth it as I would not change my life with my animals. I’m a new grad PA with some downtime, looking to walk some pups and cuddle some kitties. I am currently studying for exams and have time throughout the day to check in with your baby. I typically ensure from the moment I unlock the door that the pet is safe and inside the home. Afterward, I ensure their environment is clean and safe, and then get to my pet-sitting tasks. I make sure they are comfortable with me before approaching, and I typically want to do a meet-and-greet beforehand!

I treat every animal like they’re my own and love sending updates and photos/videos so you know they’re having a great time! My weekly schedule is pretty flexible, and I usually have a lot of availability throughout the day. Some weeks look different than others, but I keep my calendar updated and make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to! I respect each pet’s comfort level and approach them on their terms! I’m comfortable cleaning up any accidents in the house, following feeding schedules, and crating pets if needed.

“I found them the day before, and Bernard and Hung were wonderful with Milo, our 6-month-old puppy, over the Fourth of July. Despite the short notice, they were very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, making the busy holiday much easier. They kept us updated with prompt communication and plenty of pictures, giving us peace of mind. Milo was clearly well cared for. We appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and communication, and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking caring, reliable sitters.”
“Claudia was a great sitter for Rocky. He stayed with her for 3 nights. I got plenty of photos and videos. She was a great communicator. Rocky had accidents in her house, and she dealt with it really well - even asked if she can put a diaper on him. I appreciated her understanding and kindness. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Nicko and Nola got excited this time when we arrived at Natalia's home. It's so wonderful to know that we have a safe place and trusted sitter so that our fur babies to have their own vacation while we are away. Thank you, as always Natalia for taking such good care of them and for keeping in touch with us throughout the boarding.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yvette was an amazing host for our little Juno! She kept us up to date on all that was going on (walks, naps, etc!) while we spent 3 days at Disneyland. We had never boarded a dog before and were nervous about having someone we did not know watch our puppy, but Yvette immediately put us at ease and Juno had the “Doggy Vacation” of her lifetime! Thanks again Yvette! We will definitely call you again if we are in the area!!!”
“Julie and Justin took such great care of our dog, Mia, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. They kept us updated, sent photos, and made sure Mia was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Mia can be a little shy at first, but she quickly warmed up to them, which says a lot. It was clear that they treated her like part of the family and genuinely cared about her well-being. We’re so grateful for their kindness and attention, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, Julie and Justin, for taking such wonderful care of Mia!”
“Aidee did an amazing job with Olaf. We were gone for a week and half for our honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday. It was nice seeing his photos and knowing he was happy and safe. She listened to my concerns and put them at ease. The first day he wasn't eating much so she sat with him so he'd be more comfortable. I really appreciate knowing that he was with someone who cares and is attentive.”

“We had an amazing experience with Olivia. Our dog well cared for and got lots of love. Would definitely book again. Her house was adorable and she had a large backyard for him to run around in. Furthermore, she was very accommodating as we had to pick him up on Christmas morning.”
“We boarded our dog, Trooper, with Alicyn and Alex for 9 nights. They sent multiple updates and videos every day. It was clear that Trooper was very happy and well cared for during his stay. Alicyn is also very responsive to communication. We’ve already booked Trooper’s second boarding stay!”
About: We love creatures of all kinds! Dogs, cats, reptiles and more. I work from home full time and just had to put my sweet Arya to rest. My family loves to care for animals and enjoys them in the home. Lots of TLC, big fenced in yard and lots of snuggles. Kids are 16, 10 and 10. I work from home full time as a client support consultant. I also homeschool my three children (ages 16, 10 and 10). I am home all day! There are some sport activities that require a drop off around 3pm, but home most of the day with availability to feed, walk and care for your pets. I would be with your pet most of the day. Doors are secured with a fenced in yard with lots of grass and shade. Food is tucked away and children in the home are older and very familiar with caring for pets and keeping them safe.

“Lyndsey was absolutely amazing with Tilly during our trip to Disneyland! She got a ton of walks and was clearly very happy and comfortable, and Lyndsey also shared many great updates throughout the day. Thank you so much Lyndsey - we would love to have Tilly visit you again!”
“Taya was absolutely awesome! She treated Luna like she was her own dog. She followed every “rule” / directions for Luna. Taya was very good at communicating and her response time was incredible. She sent photos of Luna every day. I would 100% recommend Taya to any animal parents out there. I am rebooking with Taya in the future for sure.”
“Judit is so caring and kind and took such incredible care of our dogs! She loved them and took care of them like they were her own and we felt they were in good hands every step of the way.”
“Joshua and his wife were fantastic! They watched our dog for a week over Thanksgiving and she was very wall taken care of. They met with us before we left to get acquainted with our pup and make sure they knew all of the ins and outs of her care. They took the time to learn her commands and made her feel right at home.”
