“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.”
“Great family and my pup wanted to stay. I will definitely use your services in the future. Received lots of pictures and my pup felt right at home always with a happy face.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Cienya provided for my dog. From the start she she was responsive, professional, and showed genuine love for animals. She kept me updated and sent me messages and photos which put my mind at ease. Vienna went above and beyond and I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her services! Tanya”
“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. 🥰”

About: Hi my name is Jaycee I am a mom to 4 grown daughters and have had pets my whole life. I know it can be hard to find a trusted pet sitter but I am here to give you peace of mind. I am extremely reliable, responsible and easy to get along with. I am active and don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. Contact me if you have any questions. I am active and I don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. I am available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in my home, I love to have the pet feel like nothing has changed! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animals routine in place while the owners are away, I love to send photos and take cute pictures. Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.
“Eric and Allison took such good care of Beau! Their choc lab Moose was the perfect companion for a weekend stay. I know by the pictures sent that Beau got plenty of love from the kids and he even went in the car to pick them up from school! They treated Beau like family and that means a lot to us and our comfort for leaving him for a weekend.”
“My “girls” had a great time with Maria and Robert, I could tell by the pics and video they sent me. After meeting them I felt completely confident leaving my “girls” with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Maria and Robert!,”
“Another great stay with Claudia and her sweet dog, Wally! We loved receiving daily photos of our dogs. Thank you, Claudia for the exceptional care our dogs received while we were away!”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my dogs, Cookie and Cherry. Throughout the time they were with him, he sent me photos and updates, and my girls always looked so happy and comfortable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jonathan was attentive, responsible, and clearly very caring with them. I truly appreciate the great job he did, and I would definitely trust him again to look after Cookie and Cherry. Highly recommended!”
“Took incredible care of our elderly pooch. Provided updates with pictures. Went on adventures and loved it! Even provided extra care and comfort when our pup needed some extra help getting settled at night. Would highly recommend.”
“Radhika was wonderful and treated my pup really well. She kept me updated frequently and took many pictures of my boy - he came home really happy! Would highly recommend her boarding service to anyone!”
“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.”

About: As someone who loves simple joys like long walks and spending time outdoors, dog walking felt like a natural fit. My family has four amazing dogs — Weimaraners and Bernedoodles — and I greatly enjoy caring for them, whether that's going on walks, feeding them, or curling up for cuddles after long walks on the beach.

Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help!

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.

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.

“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!”
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.
“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: 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.
“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.”

“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.
About: I provide steady, detail‑focused care with a professional approach that works well for both dogs and cats. I keep my schedule intentionally limited so every pet gets consistent attention and a predictable routine. I have experience with dog training, caring for senior animals and providing TLC to each animal I encounter. I keep my client list limited so that I can provide excellent care to each animal. I am available for drop ins, dog walking and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. I make sure to ask details such as where the extra pet food, toys, leashes etc are located. I like to set up a meet and greet to go over any pertinent information I need to know. During the stay, I will provide an ample amount of pictures, updates and I always respond promptly to answer any questions or concerns.
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!
About: I’m a trustworthy working professional looking to watch cute dogs on the weekends. This is my first time not living with a dog, and I’m in much need of canine time! I’ve had Golden Retrievers all my life and I’ve always been the go-to neighborhood dog watcher & walker growing up! I’d love to help walk, play, or watch your dog on the weekends! I’m currently working full-time at a medical device company but I am generally around and available on the weekends! I don’t have time at the moment to get a dog due to my busy work week schedule but I’d love to be able to be around and help out with dogs on the weekend! My roommate is allergic to dogs so I wouldn’t be able to bring dogs to my house but I’d be willing to be outdoors and explore the area with a furry friend or come to the dogs home to help take care!
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.

I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working part time 5 minutes away from my house so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup! There is a small park in my neighborhood and the dog park is also a short walk away so I would take your pup on as many walks as he/she is up for. I don’t have any pets at the moment but I used to have a chihuahua and a Rottweiler I also don’t have a fenced yard or a big backyard that’s why I prefer walking to the park or dog park
“Ryan is incredibly insightful and thoughtful - Our pup is a rescue and was attacked as a puppy so she is quite skiddish and quirky. He was so caring and considerate with her. He eased her into everything and took extra care. His detailed updates were also greatly appreciated! I would absolutely recommend Ryan and will be reaching out to him for future walks. Cant say enough wonderful things!”

I take pet care vet seriously and try to connect with pets on a genuine level! I grew up with cats and dogs so I am used to their behavior! Not only do our pets need companionship but also I miss the companionship of my dogs at home!

“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.”
“Great family and my pup wanted to stay. I will definitely use your services in the future. Received lots of pictures and my pup felt right at home always with a happy face.”
“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!”
“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. 🥰”
“Eric and Allison took such good care of Beau! Their choc lab Moose was the perfect companion for a weekend stay. I know by the pictures sent that Beau got plenty of love from the kids and he even went in the car to pick them up from school! They treated Beau like family and that means a lot to us and our comfort for leaving him for a weekend.”
“My “girls” had a great time with Maria and Robert, I could tell by the pics and video they sent me. After meeting them I felt completely confident leaving my “girls” with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Maria and Robert!,”
“Another great stay with Claudia and her sweet dog, Wally! We loved receiving daily photos of our dogs. Thank you, Claudia for the exceptional care our dogs received while we were away!”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my dogs, Cookie and Cherry. Throughout the time they were with him, he sent me photos and updates, and my girls always looked so happy and comfortable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jonathan was attentive, responsible, and clearly very caring with them. I truly appreciate the great job he did, and I would definitely trust him again to look after Cookie and Cherry. Highly recommended!”
“Took incredible care of our elderly pooch. Provided updates with pictures. Went on adventures and loved it! Even provided extra care and comfort when our pup needed some extra help getting settled at night. Would highly recommend.”
“Radhika was wonderful and treated my pup really well. She kept me updated frequently and took many pictures of my boy - he came home really happy! Would highly recommend her boarding service to anyone!”
“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.”
“Kelly was great with Oreo and sent pictures and text messages. It was a very last minute booking and I’m so glad we were able to have Oreo stay with her and her family. Would absolutely book again!! Thank you for taking such great care of our doggy!!❤️”
“This is my best experience I have ever had with Rover. Brenda and her husband are super nice couple and taking a great care of my dog. They kept playing with my dog and gave him very nice time. Brenda kept me posted several times a day with photos and she is perfect at communication via text. They took care of my dog like their lovely dog. I am happy to find them and also find a second home for my dog once we travel.”

“Steph took care of our precious Teddy on short notice & even agreed to a meet and greet before hand since it was his first time staying at her home. We are so appreciative of all the little things she did to make Teddy & us comfortable while he was in her care. Highly, highly recommend Steph!❤️”
“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 💕”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
“Sofiya is very loving, kind, responsible and supportive lady. She updated with pictures and stories what’s going on. My dog had a great time with Sofiya and her family who also provided VIP cares. I really like her family!! Thank you very much!! When I am down to OC, I will definitely call her!!”
