“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Wendi is the best. She watched my 6 month old puppy. I went on vacation for a week and she kept me updated with pictures and she let me know how he was doing so I could relax and have a good time. He was so happy and content when I picked him up. Thanks so much!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Mia was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, and they truly looked like they were having the best time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great care and getting so much love and attention while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

I have already rebooked her because I felt so confident and comfortable with Sunny. Thank you so much for making it easy for me to go away.”
“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”

“Al was brilliant with the puppies! All communication was seamless and we had endless updates of the dogs. He made such an effort to make our puppies a member of his family (even taking them on excursions to home depot). We felt more then comfortable leaving them in his capable hands and will do so again.”

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!”
“I am so grateful to have Deborah to care for our dog, Banjo, when we pop out of town. (Thank you for accomodating our last minute request!) She and her husband, Ken, are so kind and trustworthy and they genuinely love the animals in their care. Their beautiful home is immaculate and well prepared for visiting pets. Great experience!”
“Emily took such amazing care of our pup Molly. We got daily updates and she was very diligent with all of Molly’s instructions. She was very communicative and super flexible when we needed to come a little later to pick Molly up. I can tell she gave Molly the same love we do! I highly recommend Emily and will definitely be booking with her in the future!!”

Overall, I tailor my services to you and your cats' needs.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, and currently help care for my 6-year-old French Bulldog and 8-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, senior dog needs, and attentive care. Since childhood, I’ve also walked and pet-sat neighbors’ dogs and cats. Since 2021, I’ve been a dog walker at Priceless Pet Rescue, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including more challenging ones. I even used to walk horses and donkeys at Back Bay Therapeutic Riding Center, so I feel confident handling all kinds of pets! I'm currently home for the summer after graduating from college, so I will have plenty of time for walks, play-dates, and pet/house sitting! I will be out of town 7/4-7/9 and 7/25-8/1, but will be very flexible outside of these dates! I provide attentive, responsible care and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed, while also respecting and keeping the home clean, secure, and well-maintained.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from small breeds like Pomeranians to large dogs like German Shepherds. I’m especially comfortable working with active and high-energy dogs, making sure they get enough exercise, structured walks, and engaging playtime to keep them happy and balanced. I also have experience with anxious or sensitive dogs. Two years ago, I adopted a rescue dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust while helping a dog feel safe in a new environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am available to spend time with your pet at a time that works well for both of us. I live in an apartment complex near a park, and there’s also a dog park on-site. My dog is very friendly and gets along well with others.

“Kermit loves Jeff, Keersi and their doodle Scuba! Best sitter of all time. They have taken such good care of my dog and I feel at ease knowing that he is in such good hands. If Kermit could have it his way, he would hangout with them everyday! Couldn’t be happier and truly am so thankful for them”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Over the last 13 years, I’ve raised my Jack Russell Chihuahua mix from puppy to healthy senior. Like most millennials, I bought the house with a yard for my dog! I work from home in the tech industry, which allows me to spend all day with your pups, giving them attention throughout the day, taking them for regular walks and potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I live on a quiet block with a peaceful enclosed backyard. I would love to host your fur babies! Full time work from home, flexible schedule that allows for multiple potty breaks and walks. My dog usually walks 3 times a day (15 min each), which I could easily incorporate an additional dog to the walks. The back door is kept open weather permitting for dogs to sniff, sunbathe, and explore. Each pet’s care is unique! Whether that is walking them alone, specific dietary needs, or toys that are off limit. I work closely with you and your pet to tailor to their needs, and ensure a happy and comfortable stay. I always suggest a meet and greet prior to first stay, so we can review your expectations, learn more about how to best communicate with your pet, and ensure we are on the same page for care needs.
“Vi is a wonderful attentive caregiver for doggies. Lovely household setting makes you feel at ease. Very patient with our high anxiety German Shepherd. Vi was even able to point out an issue with our dogs paw we had not yet noticed.”
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”
“This is the second time we leave our puppy with Emily. When he recognized her he got soo excited and the moment she told him let’s go play he immediately wanted to go to her place 😂. We are so happy we found Emily she is great and treats our puppy very well 💕 Thanks Emily!!”
“Eileen did a great job with our 2 dogs. They aren’t the easiest dogs to handle but she had no problems with them. She took them on some long walks, and sent plenty of photos. We would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“My almost 1 yr put goes with Mykah once almost every week, and my dog nearly jumps out the car to run to the gate to see her every time. My dog is always tired full and in a good mood when I pick her up. Mykah sends a photo updates and is never shy to ask a question for the best care of your dog. Thank you Mykah!”
“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”
About: I have had co-workers neighbors and friends rely on my to watch their pet for the night or while on vacation a trustworthy partner while away. I am neat and organized at home and very outgoing. I am conveniently 2 miles from the beach and various parks indetween there for walks and play. My appointment complex has dog bags set up throughout the facilities and has 2 separate gated parks for pets and I have a balcony for fresh air.
About: I've cared for multiple dogs and cats of my own as well as my friends/family for years and have always offered a loving, safe environment for their fur babies while they're away. I adore ALL animals and nature and love meeting new doodle bugs. I have a pretty flexible schedule. That being said, it makes adding extra activities, errands and play time very easy and convenient for me. Caring for pets has been such a blessing and joy for me at this stage in my life. I am flexible and fun-loving. The animals, while in my care are the priority! I can care for dogs in my home however, they need to be cat friendly as I do have cats.
“I have a rescue dog, Audrey, with really bad separation anxiety. She howls, cries, and barks when I’m not around. Morgan is amazing!! Super friendly. Great communication. Amazing with pets!! This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”

About: I recently graduated from college (UCI 🐜) and I have so much time to spare this summer! I am very patient, active, and responsible and I love working with cats and dogs. With any of my available services, I will always make sure to put you and your pets first. I just graduated from college and would love to take care of cats and dogs in the city in the last few months of my lease in California. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule for you and your pets! At my college apartment, I don't have any pets. But at home in New Hampshire, I have two cats, one tortoiseshell and a tuxedo boy who are both indoors. I also grew up with a greater swiss mountain dog and took care of her in her senior years. My experiences aside, I understand that every cat family is different and have different values which, as a sitter, I would deeply respect.
About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've been walking and dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 12, but recently moved to Orange County and would love to meet some new furry friends in the area! ☀️ I grew up surrounded by dogs ranging from a tiny Yorkie to a Chocolate Lab, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I've also been a volunteer with Priceless Pets since 2016, helping care for their dogs and bringing them to community events to help them find their forever homes. As a project manager by day, I'm naturally reliable, organized, and communicative. I know pets are family, and I treat every dog I care for like they're my own! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶🤎 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week, and I'm fully available on weekends. Whether your dog needs a quick lunchtime walk, some company during the day, or a longer morning adventure, I'd be happy to help. I'm usually out getting my steps in anyway, so bringing a pup along is a win-win! I'll always take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable and gets to know me at their own pace. Whether they're energetic and ready to play or a little shy at first, I'll adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and secure. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout our time together. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - my goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for from our first meeting!
“Annabel is such a treasure! She not only has been walking Nyx for some time now, she was excellent with a visiting pup, Toby who can be a bit shy. I highly recommend Annabel!”
About: I will take care of your fur baby as one of my own. We have a yard that is fenced in and dog friendly. Your dog will be top priority, and will be the only dog I care for at that time of sitting besides my Frenchy. I know how important and uneasy it is to leave your fur baby. Rest assured, that they will be cared for as if you were here. I am in and out all day long and dogs have access to backyard to sunbathe and potty breaks.. I’m in and out of the house during the day. I do pick up and drop offs at school so dogs can enjoy car rides if suitable.. The dogs won’t be left alone longer than 2.5 hours and will have access to the backyard to sun bathe and potty breaks at all times. Your fur baby will have a companion to enjoy each other’s company. Your pet will have access to the back yard at all times to sunbathe and potty breaks. Yard is completely safe and secured. I make sure your dog is comfortable and well loved 🥰.
“Chloe is everything you hope for in a dog walker. She’s caring, punctual, and truly makes the most of every minute based on your dog’s energy level. Our six-month-old Siberian husky has endless energy, and Chloe matches it with real engagement — not a distracted stroll. I’ve seen other walkers glued to their phones; Chloe is the opposite: fully present, attentive, and genuinely invested. Your pup is in good hands.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I currently own and have raised my Border Collie, Luna, since she was 6 weeks old. She’s now 5 years old, fully off-leash trained, highly socialized, and responsive—something that takes a high level of consistency, awareness, and understanding of dog behavior. Because Border Collies are one of the most intelligent and demanding breeds, that experience has shaped how I work with all dogs. I focus on structure, exercise, and calm, confident handling so dogs feel secure and balanced. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from high-performance working breeds to older dogs that need a slower pace. I’m also comfortable reinforcing training, managing behavior, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs. My goal is to provide more than just supervision—I offer intentional, high-quality care so your dog stays happy, exercised, and mentally engaged My schedule is very flexible because I work as an artist, author, and entrepreneur, which allows me to structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for. This means your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, walks, and engagement throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-ins, including weekends. I create a calm, structured, and attentive environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m highly aware of behavior, energy levels, and surroundings—especially on walks or in new environments. With my background raising and training a high-energy, intelligent breed, I’m confident managing different personalities and ensuring each dog gets the right balance of activity, boundaries, and rest. I follow your dog’s routine closely and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I know the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your fur babies. I I’m available Monday -Friday. I have every weekend available for you as well. Please let me know in advance and I can help you. Thank you I have a fenced yard and believe first and foremost of safety for your animal. Making sure they are properly restrained is my first priority before any walk or outing.
About: Hi there! I'm Kaimon. An easygoing, calm, and patience dog lover that looks forward to getting your pups outside for some exercise, fresh air, or just a solid sniff session. I'm quite accustomed to dogs that want to stop and investigate every smell along the way - with two hounds (noses with legs) of my own, a beagle and a coonhound. I'm also no stranger to the power walkers out there, and really just used to pups of all demeanors, shapes, and sizes. Spending some of my free time volunteering with local animal rescues and growing up with dogs my entire life, being around them has naturally become a pretty core part of my life. I’m pretty adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and social, more cautious and shy, or somewhere in between, I try to make walks feel relaxed, safe, and enjoyable for them. Mostly, I just want owners to feel comfortable knowing their dog is being looked after with patience, attention, and care. Pet care fits best into my weekends and the occasional evening. I work a demanding weekday job, but still make time for reliable, attentive walks. Happy to work with whatever leash, harness, or lead setup your dog is used to. I keep walks safe and comfortable while matching each dog’s pace and personality.
“John has been very communicative and thorough as our regular dog walker this summer. He is prompt and timely. Our doggo is a special boy with certain needs for medical conditions. John has gone the extra mile with making sure he is safe and comfortable after walks!”
About: Being around animals is a big part of who I am. I started getting real experience pretty young, working at an animal hospital when I was 14, which taught me a lot about how to properly care for pets and pay attention to their needs. Since then, I’ve helped deliver and care for over four litters of puppies (32 in total!) so I’m very comfortable with dogs at all stages. I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they often need a little extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I make sure every pet I watch feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a clean, friendly neighborhood with a really active and welcoming community, so it’s a great environment for dogs. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m home throughout the week and my job is flexible, so I have plenty of time to be around pets during the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily when needed and give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a clean, respectful, and easygoing person, and I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable wherever they are. I pay attention to their routine, keep things calm, and treat every home with care and respect. I also have a fenced backyard where pets can safely spend time outside.
“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.”
“Lily has been an amazing help taking care of our dog. Our dog always gets excited when she comes over and she sends the BEST photos of him having a blast during their walk. I had a few schedule changes on my end and Lily was extremely flexible and responsive. Lily is awesome and I’ll continue to have her walk my pup in the future.”
“thank you Garrett! Walked my dogs multiple times in a pinch while i was away for a holiday weekend. He was on time, walked them for the full 30min, and shared photos from each walk. The dogs definitely needed it and he handled the leash reactive dog (to other dogs, men, bikes, etc) well. Thank you again!”

“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Mia was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, and they truly looked like they were having the best time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great care and getting so much love and attention while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Jeff and Kara were wonderful with Milo. They did an amazing job taking care of him and communicated daily. Milo would be happy to go back any time. We would highly recommend them.”
“Sunny was so amazing and I am thrilled I have met her. She took such great care of my little doggie while I was away, and sent pictures to keep me posted of Foxy's day. I have already rebooked her because I felt so confident and comfortable with Sunny. Thank you so much for making it easy for me to go away.”
“Wesley Archer enjoyed his visit & stay with Nicole! Having the opportunity to meet and play with other dogs at the doggie daycare was super helpful and a bonus for playtime and socialization. He looks forward to the next time he may get to go for another visit! Thank you”
About: I will love and care for your dog as they are my own and my dogs are treated like absolute royalty!y family has always been a huge dog family and I frankly like dogs more than people lol. I would be honored to care for your pup with all my heart and love! I work remotely and only am gone a few hours of the day and the dogs have access to a fenced side yard for potty breaks I have a big fenced in front yard with Astro turf for the babies to run around. My two pups LOVE company and will keep your doggie happy & entertained! We have a full cozy cuddle policy so all are welcome to snuggle on the furniture.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m experienced with crate training, giving medications, and helping shy or anxious pups feel at ease. I treat every dog like family and always focus on keeping them happy, safe, and loved. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine—I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or sticking to their feeding schedule, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always stick closely to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions carefully. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment where they’re treated like family.
“Jeff, Keersi, and Scuba are such a pleasure to work with. Leela is always in great hands with them. I feel a great piece of mind in leaving Leela with this amazing family. :)”
“This is the second time I booked with Vi to board my dog Chelsea and I can’t be more happy! You can see all the love and care she has for dogs, she treated my baby like if she was her own. It was clear that she made her feel comfortable, loved, and at home. I’m so grateful I found someone like Vi to take care of my baby when I can’t 🩷”
“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!”
“Emily took such amazing care of our pup Molly. We got daily updates and she was very diligent with all of Molly’s instructions. She was very communicative and super flexible when we needed to come a little later to pick Molly up. I can tell she gave Molly the same love we do! I highly recommend Emily and will definitely be booking with her in the future!!”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Michelle was great with our dog. She sent pictures frequently and gave us updates. She was flexible and accommodating when we missed our flight and ended up coming home later than expected.”
“I can’t say enough about Sandra and family. I’m a great judge of character and genuinely one of the most genuine people and entire family. I have the highest standard for the care of my baby. And he can be intimidating because he is a 140 pound rottie and she is a 100 pound of our pure spunky energy and love. She is my # 1!”
“Highly recommend Nathan and Paula! If they’re available to watch Korra, I immediately book them. The peace of mind I get when she’s with them is unmatched. She gets to play with their girls, has access to a beautiful yard, and gets to go on jogs and hikes. She has such a good time when she stays with them, I’m not sure she wants to come home when it’s time to leave!”
“Patricia was amazing with my pittie Bella. Bella is generally really skittish around new people and Patricia was able to make her comfortable during our first meet and you could tell Bella had the best time during her stay!”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for a dog since I was a young girl. I have a wonderful home with space for your dogs to run and rest. I have a comfortable home and my couch is friendly and open to happy cuddles. I work in my home. I care for my family and pets. We have a friendly happy dog and 2 cats. I am happy to enjoy and care for your pets as well. Bring them for a visit and say hello to see if we are a good fit. I have a fenced back yard and a happy friendly dog that will also keep your fur baby company. I have two cats who like to stay on my bed or in a window sill watching the birds outside.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s playing with an energetic puppy, taking a high-energy dog for a run, or going for a slow, gentle walk with a senior dog, I always adapt to their needs. I feel fortunate to be on Rover, as my flexible hybrid job allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, loved, and completely at ease. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing flexibility around my remote work schedule. On the days I work remotely, I can easily accommodate midday check-ins, walks, or runs for dogs. On weekends, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, or extended check-ins, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. As a dog walker and provider of at-home check-ins, I ensure that dogs get regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime according to their individual needs. During check-ins, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean living space, and monitor their well-being. I also send updates to their owners to keep them informed and reassured.
