“Jacqueline, Holt, and kids were wonderful with our dog Poogan. We were nervous about leaving him for the first time, but they sent pictures and he was happy and playing while we were gone. We are very grateful for their care and would stay with them again. ♥️”
“Tara was exceptional. 5++++. We were in town visiting family (no dogs were allowed in the rental house.) Tara made pick up and drop off super quick and efficient and our pup even came home with a new toy!!! She kept me updated With videos and pictures. I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“I've used Kelleen many times and will continue to use her. She loves animals, and my Maltese mix, Bebe, loves to stay there. She is always very excited when I pull in front of Kelleen's home. I never worry about Bebe when I drop her off, and I know she is under excellent supervision. Kelleen is wonderful!!”
“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!”

We will definitely be using Claudia again!”

I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”

I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”

“Amisha is caring and highly competent. Our kitty scratched herself from anxiety while we were gone. Even though Kara initially tried hiding, Amisha was able to get Kara’s nails cut, give her a dose of CBD, play and cuddle with Kara. Kara didn’t warm up to several sitters. When Amisha came over to meet her, Kara came downstairs and went right to to Amisha to happily be petted. Amisha is the best we’ve hired through Rover.”
About: My family has had foster kittens for about 10 years, and I have been the sole caretaker for the past 6 years. From bottle feeding to adoption, I have fostered over 70 kittens and mamas. My family has also foster failed 3 of these kittens, meaning we fell in love with them and adopted them ourselves. I have a boy of my own, Fig, who lives with me at college.
About: I have personally never owned or lived with a cat. My grandma and best friend both had one so I always grew up with them around me and I would help care for them here and there. Experienced with dogs more but I will gladly care for kitty’s as well.
About: As someone who loves simple joys like long walks and spending time outdoors, dog walking felt like a natural fit.

I'm attentive to each dog's personality, energy level, and comfort, and I always aim to create a calm, positive experience whether we're out on a walk or spending time together at home. Having cared for energetic Weimaraners and affectionate Bernedoodles, I'm comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and lots of love. I'll treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own family dogs, so you can feel confident they're in safe and loving hands.

“Eileen was amazing!! She cared for our kitten (1.5 years) everyday for a week over the holidays. He had never been left alone for this long before so we were a little nervous to leave him. He is usually shy around strangers but he warmed right up to her; she gave him so much love & attention, and sent us daily updates with photos & videos to show us how well he was doing. Will definitely re-book with a Eileen in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was an amazing last minute sitter for my 2 kitties! I was already out of town and she was able to drop in on Dave and Sweetpea for a few days with 0 issues! Very good communicator and very flexible :)”
“Christina took care of our cat, who takes a long time to trust someone, for 1+ weeks. She was fabulous! Our cat warmed up to her right away. Nothing better when being away from home to know your car is being well cared for. She is extremely responsible and I would highly recommend her!”
“We are so thrilled to have found Kari. She was the absolute perfect person to care for our kitty who was recovering from post-surgery complications. We were nervous to leave Simba after everything that happened to him recently, but Kari assuaged all of our fears. Kari took such great care of him, following his annoyingly strict medicine and food schedule. She watched for any litterbox issues. She stayed in constant contact with us and sent so many photos showing us how happy Simba was to have her there. Kari also left our house in immaculate condition and brought in packages. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing sitter and can't wait for her to care for Simba in the future! Thank you, Kari!”
About: Animals tend to be very fond of me. I enjoy playing with active pets and I always take their comfort level seriously. I also am extremely tidy and do my best to keep things as they were when I arrived. I work three days a week, eight hours, Monday through Wednesday until 2pm. Besides that my schedule is pretty flexible. I can always bounce around too Something I never forget to do is keep everything locked and for the most part the animal will not be out of my sight unless I have to work, which will be communicated prior to the visit.

About: I am experienced in walking, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing playful attention and love, ensuring pets are healthy, happy, and cared for with dedication. I am currently on summer break, as a student in college and as a one on one caregiver that works at an elementary school, so I have lots of free time to pet sit/walk :) I have a fenced yard, so there’s plenty of room for our furry friends to play and run around. I also allow them inside and wander around to get sniffs in and more comfortable in the new environment. I have a lil doggo named ziggy. He is older so he mainly stays inside or in my room. I have a crate and a little gate for the kitchen if either are needed as well as dog bowls, extra leashes.

“Diana and Emily watched our dogs, Yoshi and Stitch, for an all-day doggy daycare while we went to the zoo. Diana and Emily were flexible, communicative, and our dogs had a great time. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Diana and Emily to anyone looking for sitters that will care for your dogs the way you do.”
About: I have two well behaved, social, friendly dogs named Finn and Nika whom I adopted six years ago. I have always had dogs and cats making my house a home! They bring such fun times and without them, life wouldn't be so wonderful! I've had several different breeds as part of my family including a Collie mix, a German Shepherd Akita mix, Pointers, Maltese mixes, Shepherd mixes and an Airedale. I love cats as well. I've had an orange tabby, a Siamese mix, some domestic short and long hairs, and one lucky black cat. I never imagined how much fun and happiness would be added to our home by getting Finn and Nika. Every waking hours is elevated with their endless enthusiasm. Sure it's a lot of work but it's worth it for the amount of unconditional love I get in return. I love to share their fun outgoing personalities with everyone we meet. I get such pleasure seeing what joy they bring to others! They come along with me everywhere. They love to meet new people and play with dogs of any size or breed. Please feel free to contact me and let's see if I'm a good fit for you and your best friend(s). I am home full time seven days a week and spend hours playing, caring, going on adventures and loving my dogs until the sun goes down. I offer drop-in house visits at your home that will include feeding your dog, taking him/her out to to pee/poop, 1 hour of fun play time interaction and then some wind down cuddle time. We can also go on a walk if that is what your dog wants to do but I find that play time is way more fun of an activity than walking.

About: We don’t currently have any pet because of renting. However we both grew up with dogs and have had plenty of experience dog sitting our friends’ and family’s doodles. The most rewarding moments come from seeing their genuine smiles after a good exercise or meal! We work from home so we spend week day 9-5 at home office, with regular breaks outdoors which allow us to board and or walk your dogs. We prefer caring for pets in our home. We like to pet proof the home to be void of potential toxins or physical danger. We live a very routined lifestyle so will find it very easy to fit your dog’s routine into our life style.
About: My family loves having animals in our home, I have always owned a dog. My beloved childhood dog Teddy that lived to be 18 years old.. now I have a six year old seventy five pound sheepadoodle who is a big loving ball of fluff. We often watch family animals when they need help. I am also an avid walker and walk my dog 4 miles a day so your dog would definitely get adequate exercise. We have always been a dog loving family and love having them in our home. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home the majority of the day. Your pet will get all of the love and attention. I go for a four mile walk every morning with my dog and 1.5 year old, so I would take your dog too unless otherwise specified. I have full availability unless we are out of town. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I go for multiple walks a day and have no problem walking two dogs. If your dog needs a crate I can crate them as well as long as you bring their belongings. With that said your dog must be good with other dogs as well as small children, it is a non negotiable. I have 1.5 and 4 year old kids which means you must know for sure that your dog is comfortable around small children.
“Mariia is a great sitter! She was well attentive to my dog Coco’s needs and sent me pics of my dog during her stay. I felt very comfortable with Mariia taking care of Coco because I can see she takes good care of her dogs and other dogs as well. Looking forward to rebook another stay for my dog.”

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and care about all dogs! I have 10 years of dog sitting experience in Reno, Nevada. I moved to Dana Point last year and am building my clientele here now. I can’t wait to meet your doggo! I am an elementary school teacher, so I am gone 7/8 hours during the week. I make sure that your dog gets a walk before I leave, and all the care and exercise after work. During the summer, I am free all day! My roommate has a dog, and he has become my best friend. I let him out often, as my roommate is gone at work all day. It so important to me to give dogs exercise, proper water and food, and socialize them with other dogs. It is also important to me to leave the house cleaner than I found it when I do dogsit. My aunt often jokes that when I dogsit, it’s like a maid came as well!

Not only do our pets need companionship but also I miss the companionship of my dogs at home!
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2013 where I was responsible for feeding, walking, grooming and giving my dog daily exercise activities. I also previously watched dogs for families and friends before apps like Rover came out. I’ve always been naturally friendly with dogs and they take a liking to me. Right now I’m available weekdays. I do work part-time as a sports coach in the afternoons. I do my best to be very present to support my wife and first born seven month old girl. I’m able to walk our fur pals whether their are crated or not with care. Our two dogs (a pure miniature Corgi and white Canaan) used to be crated for when my wife and I went to work. Eventually I worked from home so they didn’t have to be crated during the day. My wife and I moved back home with her parents so our dogs live with my mother on their property.
“Victoria is incredible and responsible - Not only do we trust her with our home when we’re gone but we trust her with our pup. Stella is a jumpy, nervous girl when it comes to other dogs and Victoria always makes her feel comfortable on her walks and takes time to make sure Stella is safe and happy. She sends regular updates and takes great pics which always puts us at ease when we are away! I highly recommend Victoria as she is someone we use time and time again.”

“Jacqueline, Holt, and kids were wonderful with our dog Poogan. We were nervous about leaving him for the first time, but they sent pictures and he was happy and playing while we were gone. We are very grateful for their care and would stay with them again. ♥️”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“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!”
“I absolutely loved having my dog stay with Jenn and Ian! They were very communicative and quick to respond with any of my questions or concerns. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone I know.”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Marleau! She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved since he has so much energy. She was in constant communication and sent photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to details, especially making sure he got his allergy medication. Marleau came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Claudia again!”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“Kelly was above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was out. She was so good that my dog cried when she left. Wow, thanks so much for taking care of him. Highly recommend her.”
“Marlin was so comfortable and at ease right off the bat, with Maria and Robert. They made him feel loved. He was not as happy to see me as I had expected, when I picked him up...i think he was in no hurry to go home!”
“Leslie was absolutely amazing. The sweetest person on earth, she was so patient and so willing to do everything for my dog. My dog was very anxious and was having a little bit of the bubble guts for this trip and she was so willing to take care of him even with the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“Amazing family! Treated our dog like their own. They sent me picture and video updates daily which gave me such peace of mind knowing our dog was having a great time while we were away. We will only be leaving our dog with Eric and Allison from now on! Incredible family and incredible experience.”
“Roxie & Gigi had a great time!! Olivia was very good at sending pictures and videos of them playing with Mav (their super kind & loving dog) and the children. I could tell they got lots of attention and love. They were very happy and content when we picked them up. We'll be using their services again the future!!”
“Nicole was the first person I decided to trust outside my family to watch my 9 year old dog, and I definitely made the right decision! Nicole is a genuine dog lover and a kind soul. She welcomed a meet and greet at her home before our official drop off and treated my dog as her own. When she sent me pictures, I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. My dog has a knee issue and Nicole was gracious to let me bring extra mats and a ramp for him. I felt at ease knowing my dog was with Nicole and I will only choose her from this point forward! Super grateful that we found her!”
“I chose Daniela as my sitter the fist time I used Rover and will always continue to choose her. She is the kindest, most compassionate lover of her animals and welcomed our pup with open arms. She sent pics and communicated throughout Reyas stay…she was not only a perfect fit for our puppy, but our family. Nothing but amazing things to say about her service and needless to say our puppy was extremely tired after all their playful adventures!”
“Steph is the absolute best. She takes fabulous care of our husky, Mika, and gives us total peace-of-mind while we are away. Lot of walks, activities and attention. Mika feels right at home with her. A+++.”
“Brenda is nothing short of FANTASTIC!!! Her love for animals is apparent, so kind patient and understanding!!! My normally timid fur baby immediately warmed up to Brenda and her family. Brenda is a great communicator and listener which put me at complete ease. We will be back!!!”
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
“We couldn't be more grateful for Liz! She took amazing care of our dogs, Juan and Carlos, while we were away. They absolutely loved her, and it was clear she gave them all the attention and love they needed. Liz kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Liz!”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
