“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitting service to watch my dog, Sid… I luckily found Cal and his family through Rover. He sent pictures of Sid everyday to update how he was doing and he has a small dog that got along with my dog very well….happy with the service… Recommend him highly.”
“5 star ⭐️ experience. She is very caring and attentive with pets. Even with my dog who has alot of anxiety at first, she made him feel at home shortly after my dog arrived at her home. She will provide regular updates and ensure your loving pet is taken care of. Highly recommended”
“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.”
“Bennie and Jennie could not have been any better. Our cats were quite nervous, as they have never stayed in another place before. Bennie and Jennie were so loving and attentive, the cats warmed up quickly and ended up having a really great time. We would highly recommend!”
“Mickey is a great baby sitter. When the dogs got home, they told me they loved her and they had so much fun while visiting with her. This is our third visit with Mickey. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Wen is a great sitter and my go to sitter for Luna these days. Wen easily handles a unique and sometimes changing diet for Luna, keeps updated on Lunas happenings, and most importantly Luna is happy and excited seeing Wen.”
“Our golden retriever Bella stays with Rebecca often, and she had another fantastic stay for our wedding! Rebecca is attentive and very detailed, and provides regular updates. Bella always loves staying with her!”
“Booking with Eunice was amazing and the experience exceeded all my expectations. Right from the start, she was incredibly responsive and eager to watch my dog. During my dog's stay, she was very professional and maintained a steady schedule of updates to let me know how everything was going. From first contact to pickup at the end, everything was smooth and I was very confident that she was taking excellent care of my dog. I will happily book with Eunice in the future!”
“Sarah and Noah couldn’t have made things easier for us! They made us feel so comfortable leaving Leela for a few days and were so great to send pics while we were away. They made her feel right at home and couldn’t have been nicer. Big shout out to Ian for being on belly rub duty and giving us the cutest report card to come home with!”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“Couldn’t have asked for better care—Cie kept our pup happy, safe, and pampered. Total pro, super responsive, sent us many pictures showing him having a ball. Cie is the only dog sitter we will use.”
“This has been perhaps Jessie's fifth stay with Olga. This time, I went into labor earlier than expected so I texted Olga from the hospital! She and her husbabd picked up our girl, Jessie, and watched her for one week until I recover from surgery. Olga is a life saver! She always takes amazing care of Jessie, is super responsible and communicative and Jessie adores her. I'm so glad we found her 🩷”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”

“Erin was amazing as always! I now have a kitten, and she did a great job caring for both of my kitties and giving them lots of attention and playtime :) Plus, she takes the BEST pictures!”
“Bailey looked after our cat during our extended holiday recently. She visited our place daily (sometimes twice a day), gave our cat fresh food, took care of the litter box, and gave her lots and lots of pets and love. Our cat is on the older side so we were initially slightly concerned whether she’ll warm up to Bailey - but that wasn’t a concern at all as Bailey made her so comfortable that she was making biscuits next to her daily 😊 Bailey’s daily notes and tons pictures gave us the peace of mind that our cat was well taken care of! I would give Bailey 10 starts if I could and would definitely re-book every time we travel!”
“Ziqi was amazing! She made sure to send a lot of pictures of Teddy and LuLu and was very attentive towards them. When I had any concerns regarding the cats, she would always check up on them, even if it was outside of the appointment hours. Ziqi is very sweet and accommodating, and I have so much trust in her caretaking. Traveling has been less stressful now that I know she is there for my cats!”
“Went above and beyond on each drop in visit. My ac went out and so I asked for some extra random requests and she tackled them all. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs”

“We had Esther to tend to our cat Manny once a day for a week while we were out of town. Esther was very responsible and did a great job to take care of the cat. She is very patient with our shy Manny, her gentle approach really helped to calm down the cat. We really appreciate Esther writing her daily report to us so we know how the cat doing every day. Having her to take care of the cat really put some peace in our mind as we haven't let the cat home alone for this long. Big thank you Esther! We will need your help again next time.”
About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.
About: My cat just like my baby, I take care him everyday and enjoy staying with him. When he was only three months he became a number of our family, so when we need to immigrate here we just took him with us as a family member.
“We had Summer look in on our cat while we were away and she did a wonderful job! She really went above and beyond with making sure he was doing well, and coaxing him out of his deep fear of strangers. She took care of our mail, sent great updates and photos, and by the end, he was totally convinced that she was an awesome person!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I recently completed Physician Assistant school and am currently preparing for my boards before starting my career, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time caring for your pup. I’ll always treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I recently completed Physician Assistant school and am currently preparing for my board exam before starting my career. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pup. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule to keep things as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having owned dogs my entire life, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your dog’s normal routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pup is safe and happy while in my care.
“I cannot say enough positive things about Alvina! She watched my two kitties for about 2 weeks. Some of the things I appreciated about her: - Her daily reports were informative and fun! I loved all the photos and videos she sent. She sent updates on what she did, if anything noteworthy happened (hairballs, poop on the wall (?!), limping). - She went out of her way to do extra things like bringing in packages from my doorstep, clearing the garbage bins, and watering my plants. - At the initial meet and greet, I loved how thorough she was in terms of asking questions for things I forgot to mention. She was also so thoughtful when she introduced herself to my cats! Overall, I can’t recommend Alvina enough. She made me feel that my cats (and house, really) was well cared for while I was traveling!”
“Cie did an amazing job with our two cats and chinchilla. She even bought a toothbrush to give our chinchilla scratches, which he absolutely loved! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on with the animals in the house. I can highly recommend her to take amazing care of any pet.”
“She did such a great job with our two dogs. The home visit went well and the dogs were very happy when we got home after her first visit. Looking forward to her next drop in!”

“Youhua and her family hosted my 4 years corgi very amazing. She had a great time playing with my dog and kept it reasonably active. Also, she shared many warm pictures of my dog.”
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
“Repeat customer here. I came back to Junping because she really cares for pets like it’s her own. She’s very caring and now my dog gets excited when he knows he’s going to see her. Her kids are also very loving and caring towards JB. Makes him feel like he’s at home!”
“One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. So kind and understanding. I had to cancel last minute and she was so great. I’m really looking forward to taking my Lucy to see her some day.”
“Zoey is a very anxious dog and gets very nervous when going to new places. We met Rebecca at her home and we first took Zoey and her dog hunter for a walk. I was in shock because Zoey will only walk a small area that she's familiar with, once she gets to a certain point, she's headed for home. I stopped Rebecca and told her this never happens. This was my first indication of it being a good fit. We than went to her backyard yard. Zoey sat in my lap for a bit, I put her down and she sniffed around the yard, went in the house to check things out. Again, no signs if being anxious. R3becca is very calm and her well behaved dog was an indication that she has spent time teaching good behavior. I think I could learn a few things from her.”
About: I will always love to take care of any animal that needs caring. I’ve always had a passion for animals and have had many pets of my own to take care of. I know the responsibilities that come with dogs whether it be the simple things like taking them out to play or things like giving them their medication, grooming, or just making sure they get some attention. I have had plenty of years of training with my own pets (dogs and rabbits). I truly love to take care of animals and would take excellent care of your furry friend if the opportunity arises!! I’m currently on summer break so super flexible with time, I usually take my own dog on runs with me throughout the week as well as on hikes or to the beach. I am more than willing to come over and give your pet some time outside or whatever is more accommodating to you and your pet’s needs. I would love to play with your pups, board them, take them out, feed them, or any of the sorts! I always like to make sure my animals are more than taken care of and try to give them what they need whether it be physically or emotionally. I am a caretaker as well as companion for any dog. I always make sure my dog has water and food available to him as well as making sure he has access to the bathroom. I love playing, throwing the ball, or any other activity that will keep your pet entertained.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies who need playtime and structure, to senior pets who deserve gentle patience and extra care. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort zone, so I always take the time to learn their quirks, signals, and favorite things. Whether it’s early morning walks, medication reminders, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I treat every furry friend like my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attentive communication and genuine love for animals — I send regular photo updates, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs special care (puppy training, senior support, or daily medication), I have hands-on experience and will ensure they get personalized attention. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether it’s quick potty breaks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps together. Evenings are for longer walks, cuddles, and winding down before bedtime. On weekends, I love taking dogs on local trail walks or to pet-friendly parks for some extra fun and stimulation. Every day, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I keep food, cleaning supplies, and other items safely out of reach, and ensure constant supervision during playtime or outdoor breaks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines and walking routes to any special care details. I take extra steps to keep doors and gates secure, and I never bring unfamiliar pets without your approval. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are key. You’ll always receive photo or video updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every stay or visit feel safe, familiar, and full of love — just like home.
“We left our dog with Olga for the daycare tryout. It was really good. She was very informative and kept us posted. Especially, she shared the fun video with us when our dog had a great interaction with another one. We felt very satisfied with Olga’s service. We already moved on and booked another two upcoming visits.”
“Kristina was amazing, so patient and warm with my dog! it was our first time using Rover and she was so great at communicating! We are going on vacation soon and planing on leaving her again with Kristina and her family for a few weeks.”
About: I have experience fostering for rescues and am used to taking care of dogs of all backgrounds. I am happy to do drop-ins / walks as I love to get my steps in and keep your furry friends company! I have a 3 year old beagle mix named Butter who gets along well with other dogs. I work from home and would love to watch your dog and have your dog keep my dog company if you are interested in boarding or day care. I work from home and am very flexible with my schedule! My dog and I typically go out for at least three walks a day. I have a small fenced in yard and single family home. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and safe. I have a lot of experience caring for my friends’ pets as well as my own.
“Ana is an amazing dog sitter: she truly demonstrates a deep level of compassion, understanding, and kindness to her clients as well as the dogs she takes care of! I could not be happier with her service—she provides detailed updates every day and happy pictures of my dog! Additionally, my senior dog needs medication and she makes to ask me for details on her condition and how to best take care of my dog during her stay. Would highly recommend her!”

I am familiar with different breeds of dogs and their unique temperaments so can easily read and adjust my care and training based on their specific needs. I don't have my own dog so your fur baby will get my full attention and care. I live near community parks and walking trails so your fur baby will get plenty of fresh air, exercise and socialization. They are free to roam unrestricted in my home as well as have easy access to outdoor space. Your pet will be supervised at all times, cared for according to your instructions and loved as if they were my own.

My home is designed with dogs in mind, providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space. You can rest assured your fur baby will be loved and cared for just as you would at home.
About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.
“David and his family did such a wonderful job taking care of my pup, Dexter! I appreciated their frequent updates and responsiveness. Also loved seeing them love on Dex and make sure he had a wonderful day! These are definitely people you can trust to take care of your dog! Thank you so much David and family!”
“Kaylee really took great care of Toby even when he put his brakes on during a walk. She sent me pictures n updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee for ur pup or kitty! Thx!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for pets for most of my life, including having a dog of my own. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends, family, and others who have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely.

I like to treat your dog just like how I would want someone to care for my dog.
“Summer was amazing! Summer, walked my dog for an hour each day over the course of a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention provided.

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements.

About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.
About: I am a responsible, patient and caring pet lover living in Irvine.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on drop-in visits and dog walking. I’m available on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and most weekends. I make sure every visit includes fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I always ensure fresh water, secure leashes, and a calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their pet’s comfort and safety at all times.
“Pauline responded to my dog walking inquiry and to all messages quickly. She proactively offered to reach out to Rover when my initial care instructions weren’t visible on my dog’s profile. She came on time, walked my dog for a full 30 minutes, gave her some treats, wiped the paws as requested, and locked the door. Her description of the walk was thorough. The only improvement would have been to leave on one of the down stair lights after leaving as requested in the care instructions.”
About: Certified dog trainer with a licensed and insured pet care business! I’m also a proud dog mom and genuinely love working with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I provide personalized care based on what works best for each dog. As a trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement into walks and everyday interactions when appropriate. I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, practice good habits, and get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or training, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m a full-time pet care provider, so pet care is my primary focus and I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and training, and I’m especially happy to accommodate recurring weekly walks and consistent routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that is comfortable and consistent for them. For walks and training, I use secure leashes and equipment appropriate for each dog and pay close attention to their surroundings and behavior. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my visit. As a certified dog trainer, I’m experienced in understanding canine body language and creating a positive, calm experience for every dog in my care.

“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.”
“Wen is a great sitter and my go to sitter for Luna these days. Wen easily handles a unique and sometimes changing diet for Luna, keeps updated on Lunas happenings, and most importantly Luna is happy and excited seeing Wen.”

“Booking with Eunice was amazing and the experience exceeded all my expectations. Right from the start, she was incredibly responsive and eager to watch my dog. During my dog's stay, she was very professional and maintained a steady schedule of updates to let me know how everything was going. From first contact to pickup at the end, everything was smooth and I was very confident that she was taking excellent care of my dog. I will happily book with Eunice in the future!”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“This has been perhaps Jessie's fifth stay with Olga. This time, I went into labor earlier than expected so I texted Olga from the hospital! She and her husbabd picked up our girl, Jessie, and watched her for one week until I recover from surgery. Olga is a life saver! She always takes amazing care of Jessie, is super responsible and communicative and Jessie adores her. I'm so glad we found her 🩷”
About: Hello! My name is Trena. I have a 4 year old rescue pup, Barley, with my fiancé. We’re a dog loving household through and through, and caring for pups is truly one of the biggest joys in my life. Dogs have been a part of my life for over 20 years, they’ve always felt like family to me. I treat my own dog like my child: she’s enrolled in enrichment and agility classes, and I make time every day to bond, play, and train with her. She goes almost everywhere with me, and her happiness and well-being are always my top priority. I bring that same level of care, patience, and attention to every dog I sit. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I tailor my approach to fit their unique needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior snugglers, and I’m always happy to follow your preferences and care instructions closely. Your pup will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to me. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday routine! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pup plenty of attention—whether that’s extra potty breaks, enrichment toys, or supervised playtime. I keep my calendar up to date, but I’m always happy to chat and adjust based on what works best for you and your dog. I can offer loving environment with plenty of snuggles (if allowed), supervised play, and outdoor breaks. We are so fortunate to live in a dog-friendly community with walking trails and parks, so there are lots of opportunities for safe exploration and exercise. I’m happy to accommodate dogs with special needs and can administer oral medications or follow specific care routines as needed. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and preferences to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away.
“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.”
“We are so happy we found Temi! We were going on vacation for 10 days and our original dog sitting plans fell through. We needed to quickly find a dog sitter for our rescue dog, Lucky. Our initial meeting with Temi was awesome! Her sweet and bubbly personality was the first thing we noticed. Lucky immediately felt comfortable around her. We decided to do a one- night trial run to see how Lucky would do. Everything went great so we were fully confident Lucky would be in good hands during our vacation. We got back from our vacation last week and needless to say, Lucky had a great time with Temi for 10 days. Temi sent us daily updates and pictures so we didn't have to worry at all and allowed us to focus on having fun. Temi kept Lucky active with trips to the park and beach, and pup cups at Starbucks! We will absolutely use Temi again the next time we need a sitter. You can be 100% confident your dog will love her!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”
“I was so anxious to leave Mochi with a sitter but Niloo was so sweet and friendly during our meet and greet that I cancelled all my other meet and greets and booked her right away. She has a warm and calm energy that Mochi loved and she sent me videos and texts everyday. It was clear that he was happy and relaxed. She even updated me regularly on his poops haha. I picked him up and he looked and smelled clean and happy. I am definitely booking with her in the future.”
“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Tina and her daughters were amazing! They truly did treat Albi like their own furbaby. I'm so grateful for Tina's patience and special care for my 5.5 months Albi - teaching him how to not be fearful of going on walks and helped reinforce his potty training, and making sure he is comfortable at all times. Also loved that Albi has found a forever friend with Tina's daughters ♡♡. I highly recommend Tina's services, and will definitely continue to board Albi with her.”
“I'm so glad that I found Joanna on Rover. She and her family treated Choco as if it's their own dog. Joanna always sent me multiple updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. I was never worried about Choco because I know he's being spoiled so much. Joanna was so sweet that she even got a dog car seat to bring Choco out (with my permission of course) so that Choco gets to go on car rides. From the pictures I recieved, Choco always looked so happy and content. They spent a lot of time playing with him and going on walks with him. I have no doubt that Choco absolutely loved it there. It is my first time using Rover, and I would highly recommend it! We live in Huntington Beach, which is a bit far from Irvine, but the drive is definitely worth it.”
“David was a great sitter for my dog. He was very accommodating and nice. I was supposed to drop off my dog between 7-8am but I needed to leave a little earlier so I asked if I could drop off at 5-5:30am and he said no problem without hesitation. He was great with taking lots of pictures and sending them to me. The pictures were very high quality also. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
“Connie did an amazing job watching after our pup. We got frequent updates, and she was very attentive to all of our dog's needs! Our dog has high separation anxiety, but he did well with Connie!”
“Kari has been an exceptional caregiver for Cloudy, with her love and dedication. She ensured that Cloudy's well-being was attended to with care in her meals, daily walks and companionship. Kari also provided frequent updates with photos of how Cloudy was. We can see that the family has been a loving family to Cloudy providing a place of affection where Cloudy was not treated just as a pet, but as a member of the family.”
