“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”
“Bennie and Jennie always let me know how my best friend is doing! They are wonderful with my cat and I take comfort in knowing that my pet is with them while I'm away!”
“Chungin was Fantastic! My dog loved her staying with Chungin. She sent a lot of photos of my dog to us and gave us updates so often. That made us feel so comfortable therefore we could enjoy our trip without worrying about our puppy. I could see that my dog was enjoying her time with Chungin and her dog Bomi. Chungin is awesome, I really appreciated her care and love to my puppy.”
“Eunice and her husband were absolutely amazing to my girl. This was my first time leaving my pitty to a sitter and I have zero regrets. She took note of all of my reminders for her and provided me updates throughout each day that I was gone. I felt at ease throughout my vacation because of Eunice’s consistent communication. She walked her multiple times throughout the day and let her onto their furniture. A million thank yous to Eunice and her husband.”
“Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“This was the first time Doug watched my dog and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. I really appreciated how welcoming he was for our pup to be a part of his home and how comfortable the pup seemed during his stay. Doug seemed to take great care of our dog and provided updates about how he was settling in which was also very reassuring. I’ll be checking his availability the next time I’m looking for a sitter. Thank you so much, Doug!”
“Katie continues to be the most thoughtful dog sitter! She always makes sure Tilly is having a well rounded visit with lots of activities and good quiet time. Tilly really does love spending time with Katie!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Charlene and she was very accommodating to our schedule and such a sweetheart with Maya. She sent us photos and videos of their walks around town everyday so we felt comfortable enough to enjoy our vacation. Thanks so much Charlene!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give every dog. With over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs and those of friends and family, I've learned that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, including those who are blind or hard of hearing. I'm comfortable adapting my approach to meet each dog's individual needs, whether that means providing a calm environment, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra patience and reassurance. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they're away. That's why I provide reliable communication, regular photo updates, and plenty of love, playtime, and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands. Since I'm not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy building my daily routine around each dog's individual needs, whether they have a high-energy schedule, prefer a slower pace, or need extra patience and attention. My goal is to give every pet a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their family is away. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of grassy areas for potty breaks, and I'm right next to the San Diego Creek Trail, which is perfect for walks and getting fresh air. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home! They're more than welcome on my couch and can sleep in my bed if that's what they prefer. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and scratches, or cuddling up if they enjoy snuggles. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, so if your pup prefers their own space, I'll always respect their boundaries and let them relax at their own pace. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the same care and affection I'd give my own pet.
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
“SaeWon was so kind and caring towards my sweet pup, Ava. I always get nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for boarding but SaeWon kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and videos of Ava while I was gone. She also sent me updates on her and it gave me lots of ease knowing my dog was taken care of. SaeWon’s sons also helpedcare for the dogs and I can tell the sons are wonderful with dogs!! I highly recommend SaeWon and her family’s services. Thank you for everything, SaeWon!”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and I am very comfortable around all types. I have volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society as an Adoption Counselor while in college, so I have undergone behavior training for many aspects of dog care. I am familiar with walking dogs on leases, with harnesses, using commands, as well as resource guarding, jumpy/mouthy/mounting behavior, shy/fearfulness, and escape artists. I only use positive reinforcement for training. I have an educational background in genetics and public health, and I am involved in my local religious community as well. I’ve lived in OC for about 3 years now, having moved from the Midwest. In my spare time I’m learning to crochet, and I love playing with my dog Pax, a chihuahua/pomeranian mix whom I’ve recently adopted. I work from home, so am around most of the day, and have a small fenced in patio for potty breaks between walks. I’m a fan of the local dog parks, and will bring your dog there with your permission. I work from home, so my dog gets a minimum of 3 walks around the neighborhood and we often go to a local dog park too after work. I’m rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. My fenced in patio is open for potty breaks, but I usually do a minimum of 3 walks per day around my neighborhood. I’m also happy to bring them to dog parks for socialization. Since I have a dog myself, there will also be plenty of socialization at home.
About: Hi, I’m Emily! We are a loving family of four, my husband, our 10-year-old son, myself, and our very active 13-month-old Shiba Inu, Nala. As dog owners ourselves, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dog while you’re away. After recently searching for a sitter for Nala, I realized how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and cared for in our home as if they were my own. After spending 25+ years in the telecom industry, I am now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for the pets I welcome into our home. Your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day, with their safety, comfort, and happiness always being my top priorities. We are located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Irvine with several nearby parks and walking trails. Nala enjoys four walks a day, and I am happy to provide the same level of activity for your pup based on their needs, energy level, and routine. We also have a spacious home with a secure, fenced grassy backyard that offers both sunny and shaded areas for dogs to relax, explore, bird watch, or simply enjoy outdoor time. I understand every dog has different routines and comfort levels, so I do my best to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Nala sleeps in a crate at night, but I am happy to accommodate your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or out in the open. We treat pets like family in our home, so dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and in the spaces they’re used to enjoying if that aligns with your preferences and home rules. I am also happy to follow your dog’s specific care routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, sleep preferences, and any special instructions that help them feel comfortable and secure. I know being away from your pup can be hard, so I’m happy to send regular photo and update check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. To ensure personalized attention and a calm environment, I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of one-on-one love and care while staying with us. I do ask that dogs are comfortable around children and other dogs, and are reasonably house-trained and comfortable spending short periods indoors when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family!
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that it was Brooke! Brooke visited my cat twice a day to feed her and keep her company over the July 4 holiday weekend. I would not hesitate to ask her again! Here are the reasons. 1) Brooke was very professional even before the stay. She came out to meet my cat twice before I left. She initially came to my house, and then when my a/c died, I moved my cat to my brother's house, and Brooke came there too, to learn my cat's routine, get a key, etc. 2) Brooke was very responsive, and kept me updated - letting me know when she was visiting my cat, sending photos, etc. 3) Brooke was very conscientious about my brother's house (where my cat stayed). I left out enough clean bowls that she could have used a new food bowl every day, but she washed up the bowls after feeding my cat (it's wet food, so the bowls get crusty). She also scooped the litter box and took those bags to the outdoor trash so they weren't in the house for days. 4) My cat was happy to see me, but not desperate - if that makes sense. It was clear that she had been cared for. Thank you again, Brooke!”
About: Cats have always been my passion. As a former cattery owner, I’ve taken cared of more than 30 cats of different personalities, and ages. I understand feline behavior and know how to make cats feel safe and comfortable. I usually pay close attention to their health and daily habits, provide regular updates with photos, and care for every cat as if they were my own. I have experience with: • Multi-cat households • Long-haired and short-haired breeds • Grooming and coat care • Monitoring eating, drinking, and litter box habits • Administering basic oral medications • Recognizing early signs of common feline health issues
“Super grateful Irene was able to watch my fur king - 2 year old Ragamuffin Tyler 😊 we discussed all essentials prior to my work related trip and she followed up with me, gave me updates and took thorough and thoughtful care of my cat! I would book with her again. You’re in good hands with Irene!”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
“Sahba was reliable and took great care of my cats, he was communicative and made the whole experience stress free. It was clear my cats were comfortable and were happy to have him! He had no problem with accommodating their different feeding times and picky food preferences. I’d absolutely book him again whenever I need someone I can trust to take proper care of my lovely fuzzy creatures”
About: Purrs, cuddles & chaos welcome! I had my soul cat for 20 years before he passed in March of 2026. These days I’m owned by two kittens who keep me on my toes-so I know both ends of the spectrum: the deep, steady bond of an old cat and the chaos of raising babies who think 3am is playtime. Whatever stage your cat is in, I’ve probably lived it. Every visit, I tailor playtime to your cat’s actual personality (not every cat wants a laser pointer chase). I’m also incredibly detailed. You’ll get thorough updates after every visit, so you always know exactly how your cat is doing, down to whether they ate, used the litter box, or just wanted to sit on my lap and judge me.
“I’ve had Sabrina look after my precious cat Bernadine for three separate occasions over the past year and each time Sabrina has done such a great job ensuring Bernadine is well taken care of while I’m away. Sabrina follows my care instructions closely and as a bonus she sends such cute photos of Bernie to reassure me that she’s doing okay. It’s safe to say I won’t be booking any other cat sitter as long as Sabrina is available!”
“Victoria was great! She took great care of our 3 cattos, she was on time, kept us informed, shared pictures with us, etc She understood our cats’ personalities and was able to connect with them accordingly. She was extremely helpful and supportive, we will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.”
“Irina is absolutely amazing! She took great care of our cats while we were away, and they absolutely adore her! She’s super responsive and communicative, sending us plenty of lovely photos and videos. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you so much.”
About: Hello! I’m a dependable and responsible animal lover who enjoys helping pets stay comfortable and active. I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur babies. I had the joy of being a mama to a cockapoo. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends. I just love being around animals. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am primarily available weekday afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I keep my service area local so I can remain reliable, punctual, and flexible. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to surroundings, leash safety, gates/doors, water needs, and any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect each client’s home and treat it with the same level of care I would expect for my own.
“Yichen was so sweet and communicative! Our kitty who can be quite shy around new people immediately loved her which says a lot about Yichen's wonderful character. The fact that she is a vet was also very reassuring!”
“We are so grateful to Corey for taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Corey gave us detailed visit notes each day and pictures which helped us know they were taken care of and safe. She even took the time to let my scaredy-cats smell her and get acquainted. She is communicative and comes on time to the scheduled times. Thank you, Corey!”
“Alvina is awesome. She is very professional and detail-oriented. She sent us a list of all our requests before booking to ensure she covered everything. During our trip, many photos and videos were sent and we could tell our cat loved her immediately. It's obvious that she really loves cats.”
“Connie was so wonderful with our cats and so respectful of our home. We were able to leave for several days with peace of mind, and she sent us multiple updates and photos throughout the day. We would absolutely book with Connie again.”

“Ning was amazing!! So sweet and kind and took amazing care of my little puppy. Really appreciated how thorough she was with disinfecting her place and ensuring a designated safe spot for my puppy who isn't full vaccinated yet. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have a small dog and love taking him out for walks and playtime. If your dog joins us, they’ll have a buddy to play with and won’t feel lonely. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. This is something I do not only to earn a little extra, but also to stay active and happy 😊 Your dog will be well cared for like my own! I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I usually take my dog out for walks daily, and your dog can join us for walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. I make sure dogs get enough exercise, attention, and rest throughout the day.

“Hanah is wonderful & took such good care of my boy, Bruce. She’s a very good communicator & would send updates through out the day. Bruce got along with Evan & had such a good day. I was so happy with her care, I already booked additional days with them. They took the stress out of my day by caring so well for my boy. Very happy with Rover for helping me to find them.”
“I appreciate Joshua's quick communicating on short notice. We were able to have a nice chat when I dropped off my dogs and make sure everything was okay with his 2 dogs. My booking that day was a pretty long one and he had no problem stepping up to help out. He also took my dogs out for a run, even though I did not ask that from him because it was above and beyond. He happily met my request for extra precaution to block off/shore up the perimeter on the side of house because I was a little concerned about the gate/fence latch that had 1 fastener loose. After I picked my Huskies up late evening, they were even more calm than usual about coming home and winding down for bedtime. Whatever magic Joshua worked, it was much appreciated!”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from a very young age. I grew up with a Labrador retriever and am the biggest dog lover there is! I now have a golden retriever with lots of energy and a miniature pinscher dachshund mix who is blind. I can care for your baby of any size, age and energy level. I’m currently working part time so I’m not super busy during the week and I have weekends off! I have plenty of time to hangout with your dog and become best friends! I live in a gated apartment complex that has dog areas, but also live close to many community parks. I am very accommodating to any request you may have.
About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”
“Hyo is the best , super professional and very good with dogs. We contacted her last minute and she still managed to take care of Porcini . Thank you Hyo I highly recommend her.”
“Charlene was really great about communicating with us prior to us leaving our dog with her on relatively short notice. She is very friendly, responsible, and kept in contact with us about how our dog was doing in her care. Would highly recommend and book again in the future!”
“Kristina was amazing and very accommodating to our changing schedule, which was much appreciated. She kept in contact and sent pictures and our pup returned very happy 😊”
“Happy to have Neha take care of Hope today! She was super fast to reply and accept the request, probably the fastest I’ve ever experienced on Rover lol. She sent us a bunch pictures throughout the day. Including napping photos lol, which means Hope felt right at home. Neha lives in a lovely area in Irvine so you’ll instantly feel secure for the environment for your dog too. Will definitely book with Neha again if we’re in the area!”

I have had a golden doodle for 12 years, taught her to be a therapy dog, and compete in dog shows. I typically pet sit dogs at least once a month for my friends because they know how much I love them! I also frequently volunteer to foster dogs to help them get ready to be adopted. My boyfriend and I both work from home so we will be with your dogs all day. We have one 20 pound male neutered poodle. I am a runner and very active so if your dogs would like to run I am always looking for running buddies! Pets are my best friends and your best friend would be in amazing hands with me!

About: I have owned dogs and cats of various breeds throughout my life and will treat your pet like my own.

If you have any unique accommodation or service needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss and I will see what I can do to help! If you would like more information or have any questions I am happy to chat via phone, text, or email throughout the process. Your pet will be in good hands with me! :) I work from home and can provide attention and care for your pets around the clock. Let me know if any special needs and I can accommodate them. I have a fenced area where dogs can exercise. They can roam freely when at home but I can easily crate them if you require that. No other animals would be at home. I can accommodate special diets and medication.
“Rebecca has been a wonderful dog sitter. She is so communicative, keeps me updated on all of Basils adventures, she does a wonderful job managing a small pack and Basil always comes home tired and happy. I feel complete comfortable leaving him with Rebecca and Basil is always visibly excited when we pull up. I am extremely lucky to have Rebecca as my “co-parent” for Basil.”
“Mariela & Dalton are cool vibe dog people. This really helped my two pups settle in quickly and relax. Communication was spot on! Thanks for taking great care with the girls.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life! Even though my own dogs have passed away a few years ago, my love for dogs has never changed. Since then, I’ve regularly taken care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their families went on vacation. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I’ll provide patient, reliable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages for your peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays with flexible scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Brooke is the best. She is punctual and meticulous to detail to ensure our large dog has a great time on his walk. Brooke went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend her for dependability and care.”
“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”
About: Many friends and family call on me to watch after their dogs and cats while away. I am patient, caring, reliable and punctual. I currently live in an apartment and am unable to have a dog of my own, so I enjoy spending time with others’ animals. I work full time, but am able to drop in and watch over animals when needed. In certain cases I may be able to work from a client’s house if necessary. I will always do what makes the animal(s) and their owner feel most comfortable and keeps them safe. I am respectful, value cleanliness and hope to provide the best service.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. I treat each pet like family and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including senior dogs and those requiring medication or extra attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular photo and video updates while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and am fully available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting during the week. Weekend availability is also possible, but I appreciate a little advance notice whenever possible. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure each pet receives the time, exercise, and love they deserve. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and can stay on their regular routine. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’ll provide loving, attentive care along with photo updates, videos, and FaceTime calls so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Marcelle was incredible! My dog is typically very anxious when it comes to meeting new people but she warmed up to her instantly! Marcelle sent picture updates throughout the walk which put me at ease. Your dog will be in great hands with Marcelle!”
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs since I was a kid, I love them as my own. All I want is to make the doggies and their owners feel happy and comfortable and well taken care of. I’m currently on break from a university, so I have plenty of time for the sweet furry babies until mid August! I will give all the time needed for my clients and promise to take good care of their family! (as I like to call ALL our pets) (Currently not doing in my own caregiving) I will respect my clients rules and memorize everything to be able to give best care for them!
About: Hi, I'm Amyra! 😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I have done numerous amounts of professional and volunteer work with animals including horses. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, and of many different backgrounds. With that being said, I have some experience with aggressive and reactive dogs as well. Winning an anxious dog over is my specialty. I'm very good with puppies and kittens, and to be honest, I tend to baby any animal regardless of how old they are. I have worked with sick dogs who frequently needed to be groomed and cleaned up due to medical issues. I've worked with many blind and deaf dogs as well. I have worked with cats very closely at multiple animal shelters. I also have experience with special needs cats with cerebellar hypoplasia which is much like the cat equivalent of cerebral palsy. So if your pet has any special needs, there will never be an issue. I'm very flexible, I have a great love for animals, and I can provide you with the best quality of care for your pets who I like to refer to as "fur babies" seeing as they're practically family members. Also, my boyfriend who has a Rover account as well often splits bookings with me when we get busy, so if it ever says I'm booked you may still reach out for him! We are both certified and trained in Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross. Additionally, he has landscaping experience and I have housekeeping & organizing experience so if you need your house cleaned, plants watered, or lawn mowed for longer stays we provide that as well. We have also taken care of our client's pools for longer stays, so you can rest assured that your home will be in perfect condition from every aspect when you return from your trip. I work remotely as a paralegal so I have plenty of time on my hands to spend with your pups! I'll treat your pets like they're my own and provide them with the most love. I can provide plenty of walks, and even a run or two throughout the day if needed as well. Check out my Facebook page Amyra Khair's Pet Care to follow along on my petsitting adventures! Every animal I watch receives tons of love no matter what! I can also provide references upon request. My boyfriend and I just moved to the area from New York where we have been petsitting professionally for 6 years. We've had the pleasure of watching over 50 adorable pups and kitties. With the both of us, your pets will definitely recieve plenty of love! If for any reason your pet doesn't like men, I'm available on my own as well. We currently share a vehicle so I like for people to meet him as well.
“Meghan is so great with our puppy! She’s so understanding and has amazing patience 😅. I love the notes she leaves on the Rover Card. She’s so upbeat and funny and you can tell she truly cares for the pets she takes care of.”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from a very young age. I grew up with a Labrador retriever and am the biggest dog lover there is! I now have a golden retriever with lots of energy and a miniature pinscher dachshund mix who is blind. I can care for your baby of any size, age and energy level. I’m currently working part time so I’m not super busy during the week and I have weekends off! I have plenty of time to hangout with your dog and become best friends! I live in a gated apartment complex that has dog areas, but also live close to many community parks. I am very accommodating to any request you may have.
“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”
About: Hello! I’m a dependable and responsible animal lover who enjoys helping pets stay comfortable and active. I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur babies. I had the joy of being a mama to a cockapoo. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends. I just love being around animals. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am primarily available weekday afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I keep my service area local so I can remain reliable, punctual, and flexible. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to surroundings, leash safety, gates/doors, water needs, and any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect each client’s home and treat it with the same level of care I would expect for my own.
“Galina was so helpful walking, feeding, and playing with Monty while we were away. She was timely and gave updates, and a very descriptive summary with many pictures at the end of the visit. Thank you for your help, Galina!”
About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”
“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I started extended pet sitting care at age 18. I’m working part time and have time to walk your dogs during the day. Mornings, midday, and afternoon walks and check-in visits are all services I can help you and your dog with! I’ve owned dogs with all different levels of energy and needs, and have taken care an even wider range of types of dogs. I love them all and will gladly follow any instructions to make your dog (or you!) feel more comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and truly love spending time with them. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. While I don’t have professional training experience, I’m confident in providing everyday care, attention, and lots of affection to keep your pup comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available anytime after 12 PM on weekdays, and I’m completely free on Thursdays and weekends. Whether it’s a midday walk or weekend sitting, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel at ease. In my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I stick to feeding schedules, keep a close eye on them during walks or outdoor time, and give them plenty of attention and care. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated along the way.

“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”
“Eunice and her husband were absolutely amazing to my girl. This was my first time leaving my pitty to a sitter and I have zero regrets. She took note of all of my reminders for her and provided me updates throughout each day that I was gone. I felt at ease throughout my vacation because of Eunice’s consistent communication. She walked her multiple times throughout the day and let her onto their furniture. A million thank yous to Eunice and her husband.”
“Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛”
“This was the first time Doug watched my dog and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. I really appreciated how welcoming he was for our pup to be a part of his home and how comfortable the pup seemed during his stay. Doug seemed to take great care of our dog and provided updates about how he was settling in which was also very reassuring. I’ll be checking his availability the next time I’m looking for a sitter. Thank you so much, Doug!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
“SaeWon was so kind and caring towards my sweet pup, Ava. I always get nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for boarding but SaeWon kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and videos of Ava while I was gone. She also sent me updates on her and it gave me lots of ease knowing my dog was taken care of. SaeWon’s sons also helpedcare for the dogs and I can tell the sons are wonderful with dogs!! I highly recommend SaeWon and her family’s services. Thank you for everything, SaeWon!”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and I am very comfortable around all types. I have volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society as an Adoption Counselor while in college, so I have undergone behavior training for many aspects of dog care. I am familiar with walking dogs on leases, with harnesses, using commands, as well as resource guarding, jumpy/mouthy/mounting behavior, shy/fearfulness, and escape artists. I only use positive reinforcement for training. I have an educational background in genetics and public health, and I am involved in my local religious community as well. I’ve lived in OC for about 3 years now, having moved from the Midwest. In my spare time I’m learning to crochet, and I love playing with my dog Pax, a chihuahua/pomeranian mix whom I’ve recently adopted. I work from home, so am around most of the day, and have a small fenced in patio for potty breaks between walks. I’m a fan of the local dog parks, and will bring your dog there with your permission. I work from home, so my dog gets a minimum of 3 walks around the neighborhood and we often go to a local dog park too after work. I’m rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. My fenced in patio is open for potty breaks, but I usually do a minimum of 3 walks per day around my neighborhood. I’m also happy to bring them to dog parks for socialization. Since I have a dog myself, there will also be plenty of socialization at home.
About: Hi, I’m Emily! We are a loving family of four, my husband, our 10-year-old son, myself, and our very active 13-month-old Shiba Inu, Nala. As dog owners ourselves, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dog while you’re away. After recently searching for a sitter for Nala, I realized how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and cared for in our home as if they were my own. After spending 25+ years in the telecom industry, I am now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for the pets I welcome into our home. Your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day, with their safety, comfort, and happiness always being my top priorities. We are located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Irvine with several nearby parks and walking trails. Nala enjoys four walks a day, and I am happy to provide the same level of activity for your pup based on their needs, energy level, and routine. We also have a spacious home with a secure, fenced grassy backyard that offers both sunny and shaded areas for dogs to relax, explore, bird watch, or simply enjoy outdoor time. I understand every dog has different routines and comfort levels, so I do my best to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Nala sleeps in a crate at night, but I am happy to accommodate your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or out in the open. We treat pets like family in our home, so dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and in the spaces they’re used to enjoying if that aligns with your preferences and home rules. I am also happy to follow your dog’s specific care routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, sleep preferences, and any special instructions that help them feel comfortable and secure. I know being away from your pup can be hard, so I’m happy to send regular photo and update check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. To ensure personalized attention and a calm environment, I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of one-on-one love and care while staying with us. I do ask that dogs are comfortable around children and other dogs, and are reasonably house-trained and comfortable spending short periods indoors when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family!
“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“My first time boarding my dog with Rebecca. Now I know why she has so many repeat clients. While favorable positive ratings are good, for me, a better indicator of a dog sitter's service is to look at the number of repeat clients. Rebecca was easily accessible. Appreciated very much her pics and comments multiple times a day. Exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend! 5-stars, A+ indeed.”
“Gracie was great from start to finish. She made sure our dogs got along prior to the boarding to eliminate any surprises. She updated us either their status periodically along with pictures. Will definitely use her again.”
“This was our very first time leaving Bear with anyone for any amount of time; whether minutes, hours, much less days. And we needed to leave him for 3 nights! We knew this was going to be a BIG DEAL for him AND US. We were so stressed and anxious because we knew Bear will be wondering what is happening, why is his owners leaving him with someone else, etc. We searched and searched on Rover. We went to several meet & greets (M&G). Bear already knew something was up coz he was howling his head off every time we were in the car heading to another M&G. We got referred by another Rover sitter to Rommel since she also had left her dogs with him. Our M&G with Rommel was great. He was very confident & comfortable handing Bear for the very first time and they proceeded to go for a walk. We decided to go with Rommel. I had to give Rommel detailed instructions since Bear is an EPI dog and needs to take his meds. In addition to his other quirks. During Bear's stay with him, Rommel sent videos every day and a note on how Bear is doing. We were so relieved and happy that Bear was doing well. Rommel was also very responsive and prompt when we asked him questions. Thanks so much for welcoming Bear into your family, Rommel! And thanks for helping this first-timer boarder (dog & owner) manage the dog boarding process! We give you all the stars we can muster! We would recommend you highly to anyone! Thanks again!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Patricia did a great job with my two little dogs. Her house was clean and welcoming. The pictures she sent showed the dogs acting as if they were at home. I recommend her to any dog owner looking for a good sitter.”
