Really I can’t be happier with the experience.”

Ning clearly cares so much about her pups, sent us thoughtful updates and photos/videos of how he was doing throughout the day.

“Tala was professional and kind and took good care of our cat while we are on a trip! She provided lots of love and care to him, evident through pictures and videos. She also offered to do a meet-and-greet to see our cat, our place, and to meet her as a person. Our cat did not have any medications to administer or any food/water that needed to be given as we have an auto feeder and fountain, but our main ask was for Tala to clean his litter and give him lots of love and play with him if he was in a playful mood, all of which I believe Tala did while we were gone. Thanks Tala!”


“This was the second time Krystal has cared for our cats and she did great! One of our cats is disabled and Krystal did an amazing job accommodating her special needs. Thanks again!”

“Vi is truly an amazing pet sitter. She was very helpful and thoughtful the whole time she took care of my cat. I really appreciate her and would recommend her time and time again.”


“Devenee was so wonderful and she was able to win my cat over very quickly despite my cat being super shy to new people. The photos she sent of my cat are some of my favorites of her now. I'll be rebooking with her for future travels as long as she is available to watch my cat.”

“Nick was a wonderful overnight sitter for Mango. We really appreciated the regular photo and video updates, and he was always responsive to our messages. He took the time to bond with Mango, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Mango clearly took to Nick, and it seemed like his routine stayed as close to normal as possible despite us being gone. Nick also left the house clean and tidy, and it was a joy to come home to a happy, well-cared-for boy. We would gladly book with him again.”

“My shy kitty LOVES Jenny!! Her energy is so soothing, and she sends the sweetest descriptions of their interactions each day, which puts me at ease while traveling. She is super thorough, and I come home to a happy cat and a clean home. She's amazing! So grateful we found Jenny!!!”

“Amy was wonderful with our kitties! They absolutely loved her (even our very shy boy who is scared of most people). She provided us with lots of pictures and updates about our babies.”

“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”

“Shena was absolutely amazing with my cat, Barnaby! She truly went above and beyond in every way, not only taking exceptional care of him, but also checking in on my other pets, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure to send daily photos and videos, which meant the world to me. It was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for Barnaby was, he clearly adored her! I couldn’t recommend Shena enough and feel so lucky to have found my forever pet sitter.”

“I was hesitant to leave my 4 month old puppy in daycare while we were at the Disneyland park but I'm glad we did. Jenni was great with her and updated me throughout the day. My puppy had a great time and was able to socialize with other dogs. She seemed to like Jenni and loved going back the next day. If you are going to Disneyland, Jenni's location is only 5 min. away. I highly recommend her and her services.”

She’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior and had great communication. Totally put me and my dog at ease! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi, I have 25+ years hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I give lots of love, attention, and dependable care so pets feel safe and happy. We walk, we play, cuddle and relax, they will have the best time ever! I will send pics so you will see your happy pup 🐾 Can’t wait to meet your precious pup! I currently work 4 hours a day during the school year and my husband works from home. We have a 3 year old lab that is great with all pups. If your pup wants to play she will play, if your pup wants to be left alone, she will leave them alone. Your pup will constantly have company. Your pup gets consistent attention throughout the day. I make sure each pup gets plenty of love, exercise, and care built into my day 🐾 I make sure your pup is comfortable, and stress-free. I pay attention to doors, feeding instructions, and I’m careful with medications if needed. Most importantly, I create a calm, loving environment so pups feel at ease and cared for while you’re away

About: Hi, my name is Candace and I have been a member of Rover.com starting March 21, 2012 from Dog Hosting to my current position as Dog Walker. As a recent college graduate with experience as a home care aide, I am eager to use my skills to provide dedicated pet care, ensuring your furry companion receives the attention and care they deserve while you maintain a balanced lifestyle, and I am available on weekends and holidays to integrate into your daily or weekly routine. My belief is dogs are family and I will treat your dog similarly to how I treat my own dog who is the apple of my eye.

About: Caring for your pets just like Stella! Stella is My angel, my baby, my everything my French Bulldog! With 20 years of experience, My love for animals began at the young age of 5! From reptiles to hairless cats to big and small, young and older pups! I love every living creature this world holds and I care, appreciate and respect them because their feelings matter too! I am fully available on weekends and very flexible Monday-Friday. Contact me for any special requests! I understand all pets have a daily routine- my goal is to let them know nothing has changed when I am around and paw-rents are gone. With my many years of experience, I have mastered securing the pets safety first always! Making sure leashes, collars and or harness are secure before opening any doors or gates. A pets safety is and will always be my priority!
About: I’ve cared for pets nearly my entire life, providing regular feedings, playtime, and ensuring they feel cozy and content. With years of experience walking dogs, I make it a priority to learn their favorite toys, maintain their hygiene, and ensure they receive the right amount of exercise and attention. My approach is always attentive, compassionate, and focused on their well-being. New to Newport Beach and in my final year of college, I’m excited to meet some new furry friends! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I bring genuine love and reliable care to every pet I meet. As an older sibling and a volleyball coach for young ones, I’ve learned the importance of being alert and attentive. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a keen eye for making sure every pet is comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I bring that same level of attention and love to every furry friend I care for.
“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

We had a family emergency and I needed someone to not only walk and check on my dog, but also transport him to another sitter so that he could be watched safely, and Laura achieved all of this flawlessly and with great communication. we will absolutely continue to use her in the future, what a great person and a great help!”

I’m available for both regular and last-minute requests. Safety will always be my first priority, I want to take every precaution I can to provide a safe environment.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. Recently just lost my senior pug who had diabetes and several health issues. I have no problem administering and keeping track of medications/glucose and feeding schedules. I have a small fenced in yard for bathroom breaks, as well as a flexible lifestyle that allows me to walk dogs twice a day every day. I am a part time dance teacher so I only work in the evenings for 5 hours max. I love being active but am always home every night at a reasonable hour. I lost my dog in February so I am free to take care of dogs who aren’t so friendly with others or who need extra attention. I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks and am young and able to take long walks in my neighborhood. We have a gated den area for pups to hang out in during the day with windows and toys.
