“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.”
“The most attentive and respectful pup sitter you are going to find. She took a her job very seriously and she keeps you update of everything happening with your fur baby. So glad to find her and trust our girl with 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you soooo much for watching Cilu Atticus.. he absolutely loved you all.. we will definitely look forward to meet you again and Cilu is looking forward too.. such a great family and the adorable pictures that you sent us along with timely updates meant a lot to us. Have a wonderful weekend!!!”
“Kun was an amazing sitter for my dog Mochi! She was local to me, sent plenty of pictures and I could tell that my dog was not only in good hands but also having a great time. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 🙌🏼”
“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.”
“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!”
“This was our second stay, and once again it was a 5-star experience for our senior dog, Petey. The biggest compliment we can give is that he has absolutely zero anxiety when we drop him off, which hasn’t been the case with other sitters we’ve used in the past. It’s clear he’s comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him, we’ll definitely be back!”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Amazing Dog Sitter – Thank You, Wen Wen! I honestly can’t thank Wen Wen enough for the incredible care she gave to my dog while I was away. From the very first interaction, I knew I was leaving my pup in the best hands. Wen Wen is not only professional and reliable, but also genuinely loving and attentive — the kind of person who treats your dog like her own. Every update she sent was thoughtful and reassuring, filled with sweet photos, little stories, and clear evidence that my dog was happy, safe, and truly cared for. It gave me such peace of mind, and I could actually enjoy my time away without any worries. It’s clear that Wen Wen has a deep love and understanding of animals. My dog came home relaxed, well-exercised, and in great spirits — a true reflection of the calm and loving environment Wen Wen provides. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend Wen Wen. She’s a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you again, Wen Wen, from the bottom of my heart!”
“Kaylee and her husband Dylan took amazing care of my dog for a week while I was out of town, and was extremely accommodating of a last minute booking. She took note of little details and sent frequent updates. My dog Biscotti clearly warmed to them very quickly, and she got lots of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles during her stay. Couldn’t recommend Kaylee more. Thanks very much Kaylee and Dylan!”
“This is our second time with Mika. She took care of our nervous Jindo for 5 days during Fourth of July holiday. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable. Her family also walked and engaged with our dog which warmed my heart. We’re so happy we have found Mika. She’s amazing!”
“We’re so grateful to have found Mickey! Our 4.5 year old fur baby is very attached to us and usually hates daycares or boarding, but she runs right into Mickey’s home and feels comfortable immediately. Mickey lets her roam freely, even curl up under furniture like she does at home, which makes such a difference. She’s incredibly accommodating, even with last-minute requests, and always so sweet. We’ve used her many times already over 2 years or so, and truly trust her with our pup! Love how she sends many photos and videos throughout the day and we always look forward to that. Highly recommend her!”
“Erica was wonderful with my pup. I was nervous to leave her but Erica was so sweet when we met. She obviously loves animals and knows what she’s doing taking care of them! My dog immediately took to her. She communicated and sent pics every day. Would definitely use again and recommend 100%.”
“Thomas was such a great dog sitter to my shy dachshund Luna. He updated me daily with pictures and videos of Luna. He also answered my messages in a timely matter. By the end of the boarding, Luna did not want to leave! I’m very happy with how Thomas treated my dog and will be booking him again in the future.”
“Great sitter. Took a lot of great and wonderful pictures during the stay. Our dog had a great time and he was well taken care of. Will definitely book another stay soon.”
“This was the second time we left our dog, Sadie with Sun and her family and can tell she was very well cared for. We received great photos and feedback daily and could see how happy and comfortable Sadie was in their home. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amanda was wonderful! My cat is a little difficult around new people, but he seemed to warm up to her quickly, which made me feel so much better. She sent pictures and was always quick to respond to my messages. I felt really comfortable leaving my cat in her care and was very satisfied with her service!”
“Yifan is amazing! We hired her to check in on our cat (who is my baby!) and she was so warm and friendly towards khaleesi. She took good care of her, sent daily reports and pictures, did everything I asked and beyond, and I will 100% continue booking w her in the future/anytime we need a pet sitter! I was able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my baby. Your pet is in good hands with Yifan!”
“Regi is one of the most communicative and thorough rovers we have ever had! She sent lots of pictures, was thorough with all the care instructions we left for our cats, and went out of her way to do some extra things to make our cats more comfortable and happy. Our cats absolutely loved her, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future.”
“Robert went above and beyond taking care of our cats. When our apartment became over run by ants while we were gone, he was incredibly helpful in cleaning them out, getting them off our food, and ensuring the apartment stayed clean for our cats while we were gone. He also offered to come by an additional time to make sure our cats were ok and the ants were gone. None of this was expected or under the responsibilities of a Rover sitter, but it made our time away so much better knowing our home and cats were well taken care of. Thank you Robert!”
“5 stars are not enough. Liv is 6 stars ******. She became fast friends with Kiwi and Jeanneau, two hard to entertain and please cats. Kiwi usually takes a few weeks to acknowledge a new human friend. Liv had her attention and trust in a couple of days. This was a 10 day, 2x a day assignment with complex feeding and care instructions. All handled most excellently and cheerfully. Never a worry for me on vacation, I was able to relax knowing Liv was providing the utmost cat care.”
“We were SO glad we found Erica to watch our pets while we were away. During the meet and greet we knew she would be perfect - her calm, kind, and loving demeanor was perfect for our pets. She sent pictures and updates every day, and went above and beyond to make sure our home and everything in it was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Zi was great with my two cats and sent a lot of pictures of them playing and having snacks. She was very thorough in all the tasks I provided and has great communication throughout. I’ll definitely reach out to her with any future catsitting needs!”
“Erin was awesome to our pets! We could tell they liked her and felt super comfortable with her presence and care. Really happy that we managed to book with her specially since it was a bit last minute and during holidays on top of that. She was attentive both to us and our two cats, made sure to follow all of our instructions clearly and kept us up to date every single day. Highly recommend her as a sitter and we’ll definitely be pet sitting with her again! 😊”
“Bailey was amazing! She was so communicative and took excellent care of both Spidey and my home. I just moved, so Spidey was a little nervous, but he came out of his shell quickly for Bailey! She gave great, detailed updates, and I felt so relaxed on vacation knowing that Spidey was in good hands. I can't wait to have Bailey back for my next vacation :)”
“She is a really nice person and kept us updated everyday with photos and videos of our cat. She was also very efficient during drop off and pick up and set up a clean, spacious room for our cat.”
“Kimberly did a great job caring for my shy kitty. She was patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly. She was great with communication, and kept me in the loop on her arrival times and what was going on with my kitty. I would definitely use her again.”
“Kayla is a very delightful young lady. She took very good care of my babies. I would highly recommend her to anybody. She was efficient on time and just the total delight. She was a total package. She knew her stuff and she was very professional highly recommend her to anybody.”
“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!”
“Jasmine was great she gave me alot of updates on my baby. Send me pictures and videos , also told me if my cat was eating or not. Would defintly have her watch my baby again in the future.”

“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.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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
“Kun, “JK”, took great care of our energetic yellow Labrador, Lucy. We first arranged for a Meet and Greet to ensure that Lucy and JK got along well and they hit it off the second we got out of the car! JK asked to take the leash from me so that she could take control of Lucy on a short walk around the block. JK was very thorough and asked good questions about how Lucy would react if encountering other dogs or kids in public and also wanted to know if she had any other particular needs. I felt much more comfortable leaving Lucy with JK for daycare knowing that she would do her best to care for our girl as well as we would at home. JK took many pictures and videos throughout the day to provide periodic updates and was super responsive to any messages, too. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“Nicole and Aaron were so beyond amazing in taking care of my dog, Otis for last minute daycare needs! They were very responsive and helpful in ensuring Otis had everything he needed to have a good day. My dog has some separation anxiety and I immediately felt at ease when they welcomed Otis into their home with open arms to make him more comfortable. It was also great to have picture and video updates to see that he was having such a good time with Nicole and her family! Thank you so much!!”
“David took care of our puppy for several days and was an amazing sitter. He was very responsive, sent many pictures and updates, and I could tell the puppy was getting a lot of love from David's family. We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“I was in need of a last minute doggie daycare and Erica and were my saving grace. She and her husband were absolutely wonderful at taking care of my Miss.Tuna (Luna). She updated me often, was quick to respond to any of my texts, sent lots of photos, video, and overall made my first experience with Rover an amazing experience. I’m so thankful for her help and if I’m ever in need of a sitter will use her again in a heartbeat. So make sure to book Erica before I do! hahaha”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Mika! She took excellent care of my dog, Louis. He was happy and well looked after, and I appreciated the regular updates and responsiveness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stephania and her family went above and beyond to make sure Mozzie felt comfortable. He has a bit of separation anxiety but you wouldn’t know it from his pictures and videos. He had such a good time with Stephania. She had no trouble following all the instructions and took care to make sure she read everything before we dropped him off. She’s wonderful and I would not hesitate to leave Mozzie with her again. Thanks Stephania!”
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.
“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.”
“Mickey is a great sitter. She took great care of our Shiba Inu and sent us multiple pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend for those looking for someone reliable and caring.”
“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'm the guy at parties hanging out with the dog. I have an adoring obsession with dogs but have been cursed with just bad enough allergies to not have a permanent one myself. Fortunately I've been able to live vicariously through petsitting for friends, but they can only go on so many vacations (despite my insistence)! I grew up with a lhasa Apso named Buster, two terriers named Haley and Comet, and a Chihuahua named Dodger, along with occasionally pet sitting for extended family and friends. I miss having a pooch around and would love to give yours a safe, relaxing place until you get back. I work a full-time job from home and my weekends are pretty flexible. I have some hobbies I like to do on the weekends, but am rarely gone for more than 3 hours and are low commitment so I can skip them if need be. I live in a very clean and safe area in Irvine that allows for nice walks with plenty of exploring. My apartment is a pretty standard 2 bedroom with decent space.
“Wen was an awesome sitter my babies Moose and baby were so happy with her. She kept me informed and updated with pics wich I loved it ! Thanks Wen ! Thanks for the love and the care you provided for my fur babies ! It was seeet to see how comfy your kid is with big dogs.”
“Afra was a wonderful host to my puppy Daisy! Her whole family is so sweet, and her two boys were very playful with my girl. I was glad she got to socialize with adults, children, and other small dogs, all while being watched over safely and given free reign to play around all day. :) Every morning when I dropped off Daisy she was jumping and so excited to spend time with Afra and friends. Afra was also very thorough with sending lots of photo updates and quickly replying to any message I sent. Thank you for being the best dog sitter!”
“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.”

About: I have taken care of my sister's dogs since they were puppies, training, daily walking, feeding on a set schedule and administering medication when they were recovering from neuter/spay surgeries. Now I have my own cat who is two years old. There is nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for them, and the same applies to your pets :) I'm a part-time employee on summer break from college at the moment, so I have plenty of time for walks, play time or whatever else your pet needs! I currently help my sister take care of her dogs, I help take them on walks and I feed them and play with them. When I am not taking care of my sister's dogs I have my cat Oliver at home who I love to cuddle and play with, and I am consistent with taking out his litter every day and making sure that he has plenty of food and water in his gravity feeder.
“Thank you Robert for an amazing job at walking our puppy! He was extremely punctual and very aware of the care details we wrote for our puppy! Can’t wait to use him again.”
“My pets loved Erica immediately -she is amazing at what she does! She's very kind and friendly, and our initial meet and greet felt more like a visit from a friend. She sent me a picture from the walk with my dog, as well as a detailed report card. Happy to have her help whenever possible!”
About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home. My approach is observant, patient, and detail-oriented, especially for shy, senior, or medically managed pets! During each visit, I make sure your pet is comfortable, their space stays clean, and their normal routine is respected. I’m attentive to subtle behavior changes, potty/litter box habits, appetite, and overall demeanor, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. I provide thorough rover updates with photos, notes on eating, litter box use, and mood, so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is well cared for. I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet! About me: Attentive sitter providing detailed updates, medication support, and calm care for anxious pets! Schedule Flexibly With Me! I work from home and am able to be mobile for my job. Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else. I am able to tailor my service according to the needs of you and your pet. Your Privacy: I understand the need for privacy and care when it comes to your home. I have no issue with remaining in designated areas or with cameras around common spaces. I will accommodate your comfort.
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. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two pups of my own, so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your best friend. My journey into pet care actually started when I was just 12 — a neighbor asked me to look after their dog for two weeks, and I was hooked from day one. Since then, caring for dogs has been a genuine passion, not just a job. I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care like family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles, I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to help take care of your furry family member — feel free to reach out with any questions! My schedule is very flexible as I recently got laid off from the tech world. I have my own dogs but I can manage if needed. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family — because with two pups of my own at home, I know how important routine, comfort, and attention are. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and habits, so there’s as little disruption to their day as possible. I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so I’ve learned that consistency, patience, and genuine love for animals make all the difference in keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.
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: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter with 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments. I had a rabbit when I was in Sydney and I've taken care of parrots. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I always take time to build trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and providing lots of playtime and affection. I’m also attentive to details — whether it’s monitoring behavior changes, maintaining clean spaces, or following specific instructions from pet parents. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them as if they were my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. • Comfortable with puppies & senior pets • Experience with shy or anxious dogs • Basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners) • Flexible schedule • Non-smoker I’m available Monday through Friday from 11am to 9pm, except on Wednesdays when I’m available from 1pm to 7pm. My weekend availability varies, but I’m happy to accommodate requests with advance notice. Once a booking is confirmed, I make sure to prioritize your pet’s care and provide reliable, consistent attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and house rules. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize a calm and secure environment. During walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert to surroundings. For house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own and maintain a clean and organized space. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I have experience taking care of pets for family friends, doing similar work as listed here. Such as, going over to feed and walk the pets, having pets over to take care of them, and cleaning up after the pets. Apart from that, I am currently volunteering at a local hospital where I take care of patients alongside the nurses and ensure no one is uncomfortable or injured during their stay. As of now, I am not working any other jobs so every day excluding Friday is open for potential pet caring jobs. Although I am currently looking for part time work and the schedules may change sooner or later. Currently my house is full and makes it difficult to board pets in my house, however, I am more than willing to care for pets in clients houses. Outside of specific instructions or requests, I can ensure the pet will be given all the care it needs as well as adequate space so they aren’t stressed while they are under my care.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a little kid. On top of caring for my own kitty I enjoy helping friends and family in watching their pets when away for a few days or longer trips. I am more familiar with cat care, but I am always learning new tips for cats and dogs. I enjoy taking walks and having a companion by my side makes the journey more exciting! I have recently moved to a new area and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of time to explore and meet new furry friends! Weekdays and overnight stays are perfect for my schedule. My cat loves to roam and sit by the window to watch the birds, and she has many sleeping spots. I have a balcony she likes to sit at and enjoy the fresh air, like myself.
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.
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.
“Liv and her mom were great. We had to add extra walks and feedings and they were happy to help. We came home to a happy puppy who was well cared for. We will definitely be using their services again.”
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.

“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!”
“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.”
“Kun was an amazing sitter for my dog Mochi! She was local to me, sent plenty of pictures and I could tell that my dog was not only in good hands but also having a great time. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 🙌🏼”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Amazing Dog Sitter – Thank You, Wen Wen! I honestly can’t thank Wen Wen enough for the incredible care she gave to my dog while I was away. From the very first interaction, I knew I was leaving my pup in the best hands. Wen Wen is not only professional and reliable, but also genuinely loving and attentive — the kind of person who treats your dog like her own. Every update she sent was thoughtful and reassuring, filled with sweet photos, little stories, and clear evidence that my dog was happy, safe, and truly cared for. It gave me such peace of mind, and I could actually enjoy my time away without any worries. It’s clear that Wen Wen has a deep love and understanding of animals. My dog came home relaxed, well-exercised, and in great spirits — a true reflection of the calm and loving environment Wen Wen provides. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend Wen Wen. She’s a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you again, Wen Wen, from the bottom of my heart!”
“I was first time boarding and it was long days. And Toby is very nervous dog…when I left the country I was worrying about him but David and Jennifer are so nice and sent me photos and videos and made me comfortable about Toby. Finally I picked him up and I knew Toby was very happy with them. Thank you David and Jennifer. Definitely, I strongly recommend. I really appreciate to took care of Toby like family.”
“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!”
“Jie took great care of our dog. Jie was very prompt with replies and took plenty of photos of our dog’s stay. We didn’t have to worry about our dog one bit. Will definitely book 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.”
“Yoo was wonderful. She was very patient and caring. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our dog was being well taken care of. She communicated well and was very reliable. I would definitely recommend her.”
“she's really the best! My dog is very sensitive and timid and does not adapt well to new environments and strangers. But my dog has adjusted very well in her home and he had a comfortable time with no problems. Her house was clean, quiet and safe. I feel comfortable going on my trips without taking my dog because of her. I will leave my dog with her again. Thank you, Joanna!!!”
“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!! 💛”
“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!”
“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.”
“Olha spoils our Nagi more than we do at home! He had such a good time with her where he was properly mentally stimulated. There was a huge grin on his face when I picked him up.”
“Anna took very good care of our puppy, she constantly updated us with pictures and videos and told us how he was doing, our pup seemed very happy and we will definitely want Anna to take care of Chance again.”
“Niloofar is one of the most amazing pet sitters I’ve ever had! Wolfie liked her instantly and she took Wolfie in like one of her own - she even made home cooked food and meal toppers and sent plenty of photos and videos of walks, treat time, belly rubs, and nap time while I was on a trip. He had the best time! She was also super flexible and communicative on drop off and pick up which was really helpful! Thank you so much!”
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!
“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!”
