“Wen was the best dog sitter! She is very communicative and sent updates and picture’s throughout the time Sparky stayed at her home. I definitely would recommend her and would use her services again!”
“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!”
“Annie was great! Very thorough and always checked in with us and let us know how he was doing, what’s was going on with his day and sent us lots of pics. She was exactly what who we wanted to watch our Theo and will criminal use her again for our next vacation.”
“This is a 5 star hotel for cats! I highly recommend it, and so does my cat! Very clean, roomy, attentive and I received pictures and videos of my cat daily. I could never go back to the cramped quarters of other places. Thank you for your incredible attention and care to my cat! 🐈”
“SaeWon was incredible and the whole experience was smooth and easy. She was able to accommodate on short notice after our initial sitter plans fell through, and I was super grateful for that. Initially I was worried about Soleil staying with other dogs, but to our surprise, she got along great with the other dogs and it seems like she had a great time. She also sent us pictures and videos of them on walks and it was the cutest thing. I will definitely let her watch my dog in the future and would highly recommend it to others, it was fantastic.”
“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. 🥰”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Lee was an attentive, thorough, and communicative sitter who was excellent in caring for my pup as she was recovering from surgery! She updated us with photos consistently and was able to keep Daisy on her schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“If you're looking for a wonderful couple (and their sweet pup Stevie) to look after your best friend, Wendy and her husband are the best choice. I was traveling on a cross country road trip and I was nervous leaving my dog with someone in an unfamiliar city, but from the minute I arrived at Wendy's house, I could tell she and her husband really loved dogs and were simply great people. They know a great amount about doggie behavior, leave their door open for the dogs to go in and out, and sent me many many precious pictures of my dog looking right at home. I would 100% recommend them to anybody looking for responsive, trustworthy, and fun pet sitters!”
“Homeira is a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs were happy and peaceful when I picked them up and well cared for- clean and relaxed, with no signs of stress. Homeira is easy to communicate with and was accommodating to our needs and schedule. I highly recommend her services.”
“Saeedeh took exceptional care of our English Bulldog, Nashville, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We found ourselves needing a sitter on very short notice, and she immediately made herself available without hesitation. This was also our first time boarding Nashville, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Saeedeh went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable by sending daily photos and videos, along with regular updates on how he was doing. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nashville was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with Saeedeh again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you again, Saeedeh, for taking such wonderful care of Nash!”
“Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.”
“Our pup was safe, happy and well cared for. It was like he was on vacation too! We received plenty of photos and updates and they loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely book with them again”
“I felt like my pup was really well taken care of! She was walked frequently and came home happy and tired — always the best sign that she got plenty of attention and activity. They even sent her home with a little toy, which was such a sweet touch. I also loved all the videos and photos they sent throughout her stay. It gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”

“Kristi was fantastic and left us at ease being away for a long weekend, especially when one of our kitties was shy and she went searching for them and sent pictures to reassure us. She met with us before and took detailed notes and all kitties were happy when we returned! Highly recommend and will use Kristi again :)”
“Michele was amazing! She checked in on our two kitties while we were away on a family trip. She sent photos from each day as well as responded whenever a question came up. As someone with anxiety, I completely trust her to look after our fur babies. We can tell they were well cared for and we will absolutely be scheduling with her again! 🐈⬛🐈🩵🐾”
“My two cat babies and I are SO lucky to have found Bradey! She's not only good at her job, but she is also so detail oriented, compassionate, and communicative! I felt so at ease being thousands of miles away on vacation leaving my two babies with her. Even during a minor miscommunication mishap she was ON it to fix it immediately, and that she did. We would have her again and again! Thank you Bradey!!!”
“Kianna was my first sitter through Rover! She was so kind with my requests and even sent me some videos/pictures! She has a very positive spirit and responds quickly. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Zhenni was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly communicative and kept us well-informed about our sweetheart cat. She gave our cat all the attention and care it needed, and even sent us the most adorable pictures!”
About: Hello, my name is Kat! 💕 I’m a cat-focused caregiver with an extensive fostering background. I don't use ChatGPT or AI with my profile or my clients. The quality of care I can give starts here, my entire profile is written by hand, by me and I take great importance in showing the attention to detail that will be reflected to the care that I can offer your kitty. I have experience working with all types of cat personalities ranging from easy going house cats, to ferals, medical cases, and special-needs kitties! I've lived with cats all my life and after losing my first cat to cancer, I ended up with a passion caring for other kitties in various foster and rescue programs. I just moved to SoCal from AZ and am looking for a way to care for kitties once again like I did in my old neighborhood! I have a colorful background with feline care that includes fostering, rehabilitating ferals, and caring for seniors and/or medically complex cats. I'm very comfortable reading kitty body language and adapting my care strategy to fit to the individual cat since they are all very unique with personalities of their own c: I can manage both feeding and medication schedules and have experience with cats with varying medical needs. I also have some experience grooming (deep brush outs, mat removal, nail trimming, sanitary trims, and waterless shampoo if requested) They can be shy, anxious, or spicy kitties and I'll provide the best care I can which varies between giving them space or providing more hands-on attention. If your cat needs someone calm, patient, and experienced I have you covered :)
About: I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home. We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life. I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.
“I can't recommend Amanda enough! She took care of our 2 Maine Coon cats for a week, coming to the house 2x a day. She was always prompt for her check-ins and very responsible. It was clear she took exceptional care of our cats. They absolutely warmed up to her, greeting her at the door with excitement every time she arrived. When we returned home, we were met with two very happy kitties! It's such a relief to know our fur babies were in such caring hands. Thank you for being so wonderful! We will definitely use her again!”
“Crystal did an amazing job taking care of our two bunnies while we were away for the week. Super attentive to detail, responsive, and cared for them as we would. We highly recommend her. Thanks again Crystal!!! :)”

About: Dogs are my favorite thing in the world! Dogs are part of the family and deserve to be treat as such. I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and comfortable. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years now and have a lot of experience training, walking, and raising dogs. I can be active with your pup or just lay around and give belly rubs. I understand that in order to have a happy, healthy pup everything from what they are eating to where they sleep is important. I’m very familiar with and have done extensive research on dog nutrition and how to interpret and act on dog behaviors so you know I’ll be prepared to care for your dog. Whatever your dog needs, I will be happy to do!

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County.

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog.

“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I currently have two senior pugs, ages 16 and 13, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that older dogs often require. Through my volunteer work with Pug Rescue of Korea, I have fostered more than 10 dogs, including senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog. I've also fostered five puppies and understand the extra supervision, structure, and positive reinforcement that young dogs need. One thing adopters and rescue coordinators consistently appreciate about me is my communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents always know how their dog is doing. An adopter once described me as "extraordinarily communicative" and said the updates helped make her dog's transition into its new home seamless. I treat every dog as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra attention and companionship, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. As a small business owner, I manage my own hours and have the availability to provide reliable walks and check-ins throughout the week. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I care for my two senior pugs and continue to volunteer and foster through rescue organizations for several years. I enjoy spending time with dogs, getting outside, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday and look forward to getting to know your pet. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. As a dog owner, foster volunteer, and rescue volunteer, I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and pay close attention to leash safety, hydration, and each dog's comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and walking paces. I also respect my clients' homes and strive to be dependable, professional, and attentive. I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: My spouse Cathy and I have 2 cats, who will be celebrating their 15th birthday with us this summer! I have plenty of dog experience too- I grew up with at least one dog in the house at all times, and with 17 years as a nanny I also cared for their cats and dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule as a local small business owner, and both Cathy and I love any extra pet time we can get! I am local small business owner, and have a flexible schedule. I am up early most days (4am) so early feedings would t be a problem! I always greet the pets first, and proceed according to order of priority instructions from pet owners. (Walk, give treats, feed, check water, clean litter, etc)

About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was a little girl and have always treated them with the love and respect that they deserve. I’ve raised a puppy of my own during COVID which was humbling but extremely rewarding as he is truly the best boy and now my best friend. I’ve been around dogs of all ages all my life and understand that each dog is different, each with their own personality, just like us humans. I have the patience it takes to understand dogs and know that it’s not always easy for them to express themselves, body language being a huge thing I look at. Owning an orange tabbycat of my own, I also have experience with understanding a cat’s needs and although they can be more skiddish, they seek and deserve just as much care and attention. I hope I have the opportunity to help you to take care of your pet in whatever way I can, and trust that they are under my safe and full supervision. I’m currently working full time but am available and eager to help you with your pets on afternoons, nights and weekends. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m happy to help. I live in Lake Forest and work full time in Mission Viejo, so I am willing to go anywhere in the South OC area to care for your fur babies! I have a small dog and cat of my own at home, so I can understand how much caution goes into owning and taking care of a pet. My priority is making pets feel comfortable and safe in a place where they can both have fun and relax, because we all deserve to feel that peace at home. As a pet parent, I always check that risky items are stored away so that there’s less room for error, that there’s always access to food and water (unless instructed otherwise of course!) and that fun toys are in reach!
“If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the utmost care and who you can trust completely, look no further than Rich. I booked with him to walk my dog, who is extremely fearful and cautious with strangers. Rich was so patient with him and really took the time to win Wesley over. By the second walk, Wesley was trotting around with him and smiling. Thank you, Rich!”
About: Hi! I’m Tianna :) I’ve had animals in my home for all my life, from dogs and cats to ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, and even a pig. I have years of hands-on experience from taking care of my own animals as well as helping out friends and family. I am a student athlete who is very flexible and pays great attention to details, and great with communication. I understand every pet is unique and requires different needs. Anything from specific routines, someone patient and calm, or extra playtime! My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Your pets comfort always comes first! I am currently on summer break looking for a summer job, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your cute fur babies! There is a lovely park right across from my place to walk and play with your fur babies, I could also walk them around your place just let me know what route to take. Anything you need, I will do my best to make it happen!
About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!

“Wen was the best dog sitter! She is very communicative and sent updates and picture’s throughout the time Sparky stayed at her home. I definitely would recommend her and would use her services again!”
“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. 🥰”
“Lee was an attentive, thorough, and communicative sitter who was excellent in caring for my pup as she was recovering from surgery! She updated us with photos consistently and was able to keep Daisy on her schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“If you're looking for a wonderful couple (and their sweet pup Stevie) to look after your best friend, Wendy and her husband are the best choice. I was traveling on a cross country road trip and I was nervous leaving my dog with someone in an unfamiliar city, but from the minute I arrived at Wendy's house, I could tell she and her husband really loved dogs and were simply great people. They know a great amount about doggie behavior, leave their door open for the dogs to go in and out, and sent me many many precious pictures of my dog looking right at home. I would 100% recommend them to anybody looking for responsive, trustworthy, and fun pet sitters!”
“Homeira is a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs were happy and peaceful when I picked them up and well cared for- clean and relaxed, with no signs of stress. Homeira is easy to communicate with and was accommodating to our needs and schedule. I highly recommend her services.”
“Saeedeh took exceptional care of our English Bulldog, Nashville, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We found ourselves needing a sitter on very short notice, and she immediately made herself available without hesitation. This was also our first time boarding Nashville, so naturally we were a bit nervous. Saeedeh went above and beyond to keep us informed and comfortable by sending daily photos and videos, along with regular updates on how he was doing. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nashville was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with Saeedeh again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you again, Saeedeh, for taking such wonderful care of Nash!”
“Our girl had a wonderful time while we were gone. This was evident by the daily reports, videos, and pictures. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ray (William) again for our future trips. It’s so fantastic to have peace of mind when we leave our fur baby.”
“Our pup was safe, happy and well cared for. It was like he was on vacation too! We received plenty of photos and updates and they loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely book with them again”
“Thank you Tina for watching Bowey! We have been coming to Tina and she always takes great care of him. She is great with communication and very easy to work with. We feel completely at ease when Bowey is with her. Thank you!”
“Shelley took very good care of Winston. We were gone for a while. She sends us photos and videos of Winston which made us feel good leaving him, and we can see how happy he was. He also had a playmate named Mookie and was very good to Winston. They played a lot. She also took Winston for a regular walk. She also provided Winston with extra food when he ran out of what we brought him. Just so happy we found Shelley and that she’ll be our regular dog sitter. Thank you, Shelley, for taking good care of Winston. He is already missing Mookie.”
“Ellie and her family spoiled our dog Jager. He enjoyed a great deal of walks and playing. They even offered him a bigger and more supportive bed than the one I brought over. We will see if Ellie and her family are available to dogsit Jager again the next time we go out-of-town.”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“Simply the best. Couldn’t have asked for a more warm, fun, and communicative Rover. Temi had no issues with administering Louie’s medication and did everything to make him feel right at home. She’s a gem and we cannot wait to use her again in the near future! Zero hesitation.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend. I’m currently available to help in any capacity! Feel free to reach out. I am a full-time mom and have an open schedule. I have a large home with plenty of room for your pet! There are grass areas and plenty of shade. My neighborhood has great trails where we can walk dogs. I love all animals and always treat them well! I will be sure to send you updates and photos if requested.
“Allison was wonderful! Franklin absolutely loved his stay with her and enjoyed playing with Moose. We were so happy to have constant updates and Franklin came back tired and happy.”
“JK did a great job with Coco. She sent multiple videos and pictures throughout the day. She also was very confident keeping Coco well behaved. No complaints at all. We would definitely use her again.”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
