“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
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 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”
“Kelleen was great. Communicative and accessible. She sent text photo updates which are always appreciated. I felt that my dog was a welcome guest in her home. Thanks.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Eric and Allison truly put the love in taking care of dogs — we had our 12 year-old dog Oreo with them for more than a week and he had a fabulous time. I can’t think both Allison and Eric for all their kind attention, if you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further! We will definitely be calling upon them again should we need to!”
“As usual, Steph went above & beyond when we had an immediate need for a sitter! She always keeps us informed of how Teddy is doing & sends pictures all along the way so we can tell he is having a fun time at her home. Thank you so much for being there for us & Teddy!❤️ Cheryl & Ben”
“Nicole was so wonderful with our pup! She was so consistent on updates and pictures. Our pup was truly so happy and loved during his stay. He was truly in the best care! We love Nicole!”
“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.”
“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: As a dog owner myself, I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I'll follow your care instructions closely and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

We have a fenced in patio that dogs love to explore and bask in the sunlight on the couch. My dog, Gus, is friendly and enjoys playing with others.

“Emelia took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away. She came by to feed them, but also took the initiative to bring a brush and a toy so that she could engage with them. In the pictures she sent, they appeared very comfortable and happy. She was successful at getting even my most distrustful kitty to play with the feather-on-a-string, When I returned home, the kitties looked content and everything in the kitty room was super clean. I highly recommend her and hope that I can use her services again in the future.”
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I also work with horses. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, extra scratches, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve.
“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!”
“Stephanie has been amazing watching after our two kitties. She took great care of them and her daily updates were clear and detailed. She made us feel so confident knowing our cats were in great hands.”
“Thank you for everything. Our home and our furry babies were so blessed to have you. We are too?. They weren't overly excited to see us and that's great. They were loved by you❤️ And thank you for letting us know daily how they were doing with the sweetest pics! Chloe was sleeping under your bed??♀️?. You are the best??❤️❤️ Can’t wait to have you love our Rumi and Chloe again??”
“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!”
“Olivia did an absolutely fantastic job watching my cat for a week while I was out of town. She was kind and playful with my cat but also took her job very seriously. I cannot recommend Olivia enough!”

“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.

She is the most gentle, submissive pup who gets along with every dog. I am not currently working so my week days and weekends are very free.

“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.”
“Eric & Allison treated our pup Kaiya so well! They were able to accommodate us on short notice & we received a bunch of updates, which was much appreciated. Was cute seeing Moose be a gentleman showing Kaiya the neighborhood on their walk & bringing her out to our car for pick up🥹😂 Highly recommend & looking forward to the next time they can watch our girl!”
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.

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.

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.

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: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals.

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.

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.

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!

I absolutely love all kinds of dogs and I have been comfortable with any situation I’ve been in involving dogs. In high school I worked at a Veternarian Hospital. Your dog/dogs will be in good hands if you decide to hire me! I am not currently working, so my week days and weekends are very free. I am home most of the day and go on walks multiple times a day. I always make sure Nya gets a daily walk and lots of love and cuddles. I make sure my home is a safe space for your dog and I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front patio.
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I’m currently in nursing school. I’ve had dogs my whole life, ranging in all sizes (15 lbs-80 lbs). While I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve also been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for neighbors, family friends, etc. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and will always treat your animals like they were my own. I adore my own dogs and they are my whole life. I understand leaving your animals in the care of someone else can be scary and can cause anxiety for both humans and pets so I am always upfront and communicate to keep you updated. I would love to be able to take one stressor off your plate by taking good care of your animals! I’m currently in school for nursing and I do have some full days, but I am always flexible to work around my schedule. I know it in advance as well and can be upfront to see if it would be a good fit. I’m comfortable just stopping in, staying at your place, truly whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Im very used to having a lot on my plate and having a schedule so I can always make one work. I am not able to board animals but I can stay at your house, do multiple drop ins throughout the day, etc. I’m flexible! I will always update you when I get there and when I’m leaving so you know the care your animal is getting!

“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Eric and Allison truly put the love in taking care of dogs — we had our 12 year-old dog Oreo with them for more than a week and he had a fabulous time. I can’t think both Allison and Eric for all their kind attention, if you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further! We will definitely be calling upon them again should we need to!”
“As usual, Steph went above & beyond when we had an immediate need for a sitter! She always keeps us informed of how Teddy is doing & sends pictures all along the way so we can tell he is having a fun time at her home. Thank you so much for being there for us & Teddy!❤️ Cheryl & Ben”
“Nicole was so wonderful with our pup! She was so consistent on updates and pictures. Our pup was truly so happy and loved during his stay. He was truly in the best care! We love Nicole!”
“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.”
“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 💕”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Brenda was amazing with our dog Lana. During the stay she sent pictures and videos to show how well Lana acclimated and how comfortable she was. I plan to use Brenda’s services more in the future because she was responsive, trustworthy and loving!!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
About: 🏡 Dog Boarding on a 2-acre farm 🤎 Where tails wag & hearts stay happy 📍 OC (located on Ortega Hwy ⛰️) 🚕 Pick Up & Drop Off complimentary south OC! Please Note: I’m located off the San Juan Capistrano Ortega Hwy Mountain residing at a farm at the top. My second address is listed in San Clemente as most my life consists in so cal it makes it easier to cater to this area as most all my clients prefer a pick up/drop off method thru their home to save them from the long drive! I’m happy to meet you at the listed address, your home, base of mountain, as well as at my residence at the farm on the mountain :) Hi there!! I am excited to extend my services to Rover! I am new to this platform as I am expanding my clientele! I will be creating a cute boutique homey play yard. I work from home and enjoy the company of having to care for your animals alongside my farm animals :) Dogs have a fenced in yard separate from my farm but still can have fun site seeing farm animals! I have an Rv business alongside dog boarding and manage my time according to your animals needs! As I am home most days I have days where I do run out to deliver an Rv or watch my kids sports but am always around to treat your pets as if they are my own! I provide a safe space for all dogs! I have a fenced in farm! I do have a separate fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run and play that is for dogs only that does connect to the house so they have access to an inside area as they please. I have XXL boarding crate homes that I do have them sleep in at night with their own beds and blankeys as well as feed them in there so they have their own space to safely eat away from other dogs. I will treat them as my own and adjust per dog as needed for their comfort and happiness!
“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.”
