“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!”
“Connie is incredibly diligent when it comes to my puppy's care. My dog got multiple long walks a day, lots of pets and snuggles, and lots of love and affection. Connie sends me updates frequently, so I always have peace of mind when my dog is in her care. In fact, my dog might like Connie more than he likes me! He is always sad to leave Connie when I go to pick him up. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a very diligent, professional and thoughtful dog sitter!”

“Kiril and Volha did an amazing job with boarding our Husky! We were away on vacation for about 2.5 weeks and they took very good care of our dog. They were very attentive to his needs and they checked in with us on occasion to make sure we knew everything was going well. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to board their dog and we will be a repeat customer in the future!”
“Bennie and Jennie made my first experience with Rover truly wonderful for both my cats and me! They provided regular updates on my cats' well-being, which was incredibly reassuring. When I needed to extend their stay, they were extremely accommodating and understanding, showcasing their genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Bennie and Jennie to anyone looking for a caring cat sitter!”
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm.

I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.

“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.”
“Rachel was excellent. My dog loved her! She was so great in decreasing my pup's anxiety and nervousness! She sent me great pics and videos so I knew my pup was adjusting. I would 100 percent reccomend her!”

“Ning was absolutely fantastic, she took amazing care of my dog! She went above and beyond and really made my dog feel like he was apart of her family. I’m very particular when it comes to my furbaby, but her care, attention to detail and knowledge were amazing and left no doubt that she would do a spectacular job!”
“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”
“Annie was the best caregiver for our dog Brandy! We highly recommend her. She pays great attention to detail and care to make sure your pup has the best experience. She anticipated needs for our dog, even going as far as getting a canopy for her backyard when she knew the weather forecast showed extensive rain. She gave us frequent updates (including beautiful photos-she is an excellent photographer!) Our dog loved Annie and her husband; I could tell by the photos of her curled up and getting lots and lots of belly rubs🥰. She was a calm happy pup when we picked her up and I know that is because of Annie’s great care💕”

About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your cat with patience, gentleness, and genuine care. As a certified EMT and UCI student, I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, activity level, and overall well-being. I believe cats deserve enrichment and individualized attention just as much as dogs do. I love helping cats feel safe, comfortable, and engaged through playtime, wand toys, treat puzzles, scratching opportunities, window-watching, cozy resting spots, and calm companionship based on their personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, or more independent, I’ll respect their routine and comfort level. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication support, playtime, brushing, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like I care for my own cat. My goal is to help your cat feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, with regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!”
About: I’ve been a cat sitter for a few of my neighbors over the past two years, so I’m very comfortable with everything from feeding and playtime to giving them space when they need it. I truly love spending time with cats. I always care for them with love, patience, and attention to their unique personalities. I’m also very responsible and clean—I’ll always make sure your space stays tidy and your cat is well taken care of.❣️
“Rachel was amazing! I felt extremely comfortable leaving our cats in her care as she was extremely detailed and followed our instructions carefully. She knew what she was doing, and asked all the right questions. She was also prompt and very reliable. Both our cats adored her, and we will be rebooking her in the future for sure!”
“Polina has taken excellent care of my cat, Christof, who has complex medical needs including requiring insulin injections. She is very detail oriented and provides wonderful updates complete with photos/videos every time! Highly recommend!”

“This is my second time having Corey look after my 2 cats and i can’t recommend her enough ! She is incredibly thoughtful and will often bring her own toys to ensure the kittens get their play time and attention.

Will be booking her again for my next weekend away !”
“I have booked Zhaoyang twice now to watch my cat, Pippin, when I go out of town and every time has been great! She is an excellent, wonderful, and trustworthy sitter. She is great at communicating and keeping me updated on how my cat is doing while I’m gone. My cat, Pippin, is on the older side, anxious when in a new place and with new people, but Zhaoyang has been so accommodating and kind every time Pippin has stayed over at hers. I will definitely book again!”
“Very accommodating, reliable and Piysa seemed to love her. She was also very quick to inform me abou things and made sure to take plenty of pictures while I was away.”
About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
About: I’ve been taking care of stray cats since I was in Korea and have been fostering/rescuing them since 20. I have adopted my two cats during covid since they had no where to go at that time. I have expert knowledge about cats. I can clip their nails, take a shower, give them medicine pills, and give them flea medicine on their back head.
About: As an experienced cat lover, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of cats with different personalities, from playful kittens to laid-back seniors. Whether your cat is a curious explorer, a shy cuddlebug, or needs extra care for health conditions, I understand the nuances of each feline's needs. I provide a calm, stress-free environment where your cat can feel comfortable and loved. With years of experience, I’m skilled in managing feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering medication, and offering lots of playtime and affection. Whether you're away for a few days or a few weeks, you can trust that your cat will be treated like family in my care.
About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who treats every pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.
About: I grew up with many pets and regularly walk my own dogs. I have also had experience taking care of a dog with no bladder control, constant urinary tract infections, and the need to be manually expressed. I am very comfortable taking care of both big and small dogs. I not only have experience with dogs but have also housesitted for a household with five cats. I’m currently attending University of California, Irvine while also working in a research lab, so I’m used to balancing a structured schedule and staying organized. I’m also very active as a member of the triathlon team at UCI, which means I already spend a lot of time outdoors and love going on morning and evening walks or runs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and quality attention into my day feels very natural for me. While walking your dog, I will carry water and a small bowl and ensure your pet's comfort. For housesitting, I can easily take instructions and provide a safe environment for your pet.

“Deborah has been wonderful at taking care of Harry! She asked lots of questions and was super sweet and loving! I am very protective of him and don’t leave him with any one if I can help it! But as I had a grand baby on the way - I needed help and Deborah was amazing! We will see her again!”
“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!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and companionship. I am very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. I work remotely, which allows me to be home most of the day and easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. This means I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Because I work from home, I am able to closely monitor pets and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”
“Hanah and Dabin are the best daycare provider I have met so far. They are friendly, responsible, and punctual. They took our Peanut for walks multiple times a day and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave him. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare provider.”
“We’re glad our pup stayed with Dani! Dani was communicative, friendly, and accommodating. Her own pets are sweet and good company for ours. Our dog was happy when we picked her up; we’ll definitely work with Dani again.”
“Echo and Rita are the kindest and most conscientious pet sitters I have ever had. Their dedication goes far beyond what you can imagine. Their devotion toward my Maltese left me with feeling that I could entrust a newborn baby with them. They were, honestly, that good. Your precious pet is in capable & loving hands with Echo. Thank you sooooo much!”
“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a very important part of my life. Spending time with dogs, playing with them, preparing their food and water, and paying attention to their daily routines comes naturally to me because I truly love and understand them. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs extra patience, I will treat them with kindness, attention, and love just like they are my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will do my best to give both you and your dog a stress-free and reassuring experience. Pets are like family to me — they are like my babies. I always try to follow their normal routine and take the best care of them so they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I pay attention to what they need and let them be themselves while giving them lots of love, patience, and care. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I always care for pets according to the owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and care. I take my responsibilities seriously and always do my best to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while they are in my care.

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.
“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 pet sitting for family and friends for years. I will always treat your pets as if they were my own fur babies. I know how scary it can be for them to have their owner away. As a pet owner myself, I know what it feels like to miss them when I’m away, so i would be happy to provide as many photos as possible, to help ease your time apart. I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. Available to do drops in and overnight stays as needed. By giving them the love and attention they require while their owner is away. Will be able to administer any medications or special foods they may need.
About: I have grown up with dogs as my best friends. There is nothing I love more than cuddling and playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes! 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: Hi! I’m Jiji — an active, attentive pet caregiver who loves working with dogs, especially high-energy ones. I’m confident handling energetic breeds and currently help care for a Husky, and we regularly go on 5-mile runs together to keep both body and mind fully exercised. I’m comfortable running, jogging, and staying active with dogs who need real movement, while always prioritizing safety, awareness, and positive energy. I’m calm, detail-oriented, and very tuned in to animal behavior, which helps dogs feel secure and understood. Whether your dog needs a steady jog, structured exercise, or simply an engaged, reliable companion, I treat every dog like my own. Alongside dog care. I’m also a lifelong cat mom with extensive feline experience. I currently care for five Bengal cats, managing individual feeding routines, administering medication through wet food, providing enrichment playtime, and even taking them on safe outdoor walks. I’m experienced with cats at every life stage, from playful kittens to seniors who need extra patience and care. Outside of pet care, I’m an active person, triathlete, and surfer, so I genuinely enjoy keeping pets moving and happy. My goal is simple: to give your pets reliable care, thoughtful attention, and genuine affection while you’re away. I am the primary caregiver for our 11-year-old daughter. My preferred weekday availability is 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Mondays to Thursdays and weekend hours can be arranged upon request. For every visit, I carefully follow your instructions, including cleaning the litter box and maintaining your pet’s routine. If medication is needed, I’m experienced and attentive in administering it. I tailor playtime and affection to each pet’s personality—whether they love to cuddle or prefer quiet companionship. My top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times.
“Lauren is awesome, and I am so grateful for the care she gives Mozart. She keeps me looped-in with timing and weather and how the lil Kraken does every day. Professional and helpful. THANK YOU, Lauren!”
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.
About: 🐾 Howdy Hey! Hi! I’m a UCI student, certified EMT, and cat mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your cat. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I know cats are not “low-maintenance” pets — they have routines, preferences, boundaries, and emotional needs just like dogs do. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, anxious, senior, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel safe, respected, and comfortable. 🐱 My Cat Care Philosophy I believe cats deserve enrichment, stimulation, and individualized attention — not just food, water, and a clean litter box. Cats deserve to live their best lives too, and I love creating a calm, engaging environment that supports their natural instincts. Depending on your cat’s personality and comfort level, care may include: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box maintenance • Playtime with wand toys, toy mice, tunnels, or your cat’s favorite toys • Treat puzzles or simple enrichment activities • Scratching opportunities • Cozy resting spots and calm companionship • Brushing, if your cat enjoys it • Medication support, if instructions are provided • Regular photo updates so you know how your cat is doing I also offer safe indoor bird-watching enrichment. I have a bird-feeding area outside where cats can enjoy “cat TV” from a secure indoor window view. Cats remain fully indoors and safe at all times — this is visual enrichment only, with no outdoor access or contact with wildlife. 🏡 Cat Boarding in My Home For boarding, I aim to create a calm, safe, home-based environment where your cat can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. I keep care intentionally limited so each pet gets focused attention and is not treated like just another booking. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not force cat-to-cat interactions. Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. I can provide a separated space with their own food, water, litter box, cozy resting area, toys, and enrichment. If your cat needs time to decompress, hide, observe, or slowly adjust, I completely respect that. I understand that some cats are social and curious, while others need quiet, patience, and personal space. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while you’re away. 🧼 Cleanliness & Safety I take cleanliness seriously, especially when caring for cats. Litter boxes, food areas, water bowls, surfaces, and shared items are cleaned regularly. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being. My EMT background has made me detail-oriented, calm, and observant, which helps me notice when something seems off and communicate clearly with owners. Before boarding or visits, I like to know about your cat’s: • Feeding schedule • Litter box habits • Medical needs or medications • Favorite toys and enrichment • Hiding spots or comfort items • Personality and handling preferences • Stress triggers • Behavior around other cats The more I know about your cat’s routine, the better I can care for them. 🌿 Outdoor / Catio Policy For safety, I do not provide outdoor roaming, balcony access, or unsupervised outdoor time. Boarding cats will remain indoors in a secure environment. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine if they have a fully enclosed, secure catio at home. Catio time must be discussed ahead of time and will only be provided if it is safe, enclosed, and owner-approved. 💬 Communication You can expect clear communication, thoughtful questions, and regular photo updates. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, enriched, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for trusting me with your cat. I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. As a UCI student and certified EMT, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day (or night). Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible while their owner is away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, bathroom or litter box maintenance, enrichment, and companionship tailored to each pet's personality and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. Before each booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. As a certified EMT, I'm attentive, calm under pressure, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I understand that dogs and cats thrive when their routines are respected, and I work to create a safe, positive, and low-stress experience while you're away. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.”
“Galina was great! My pup gets really scared of people, but warmed up to her right away. She sent a ton of pictures and updates which was great to see while I was away. Thanks so much!”
“Irina took care of my dog on a regular basis over the past few months. She is amazing. She’s always available when I need her and she is flexible with my work hours. She sends me videos of her with my dog and makes sure he is happy before leaving him. I would recommend irina to anyone who needs help with their pet! :)”
About: I have cared for animals all my life. Growing up my family had a sweet shelter dog and many cats. We cared for very young pets to senior pets. Now, I have my own little dog whom I rescued from the shelter. I appreciate that all animals have their own unique personalities and quirks. I work remotely and can give your pet child all the attention they need. I am happy to prep their food and accommodate them while you are away. I have a pet stroller and pet carriers to use as needed. For boarding your dog child, I take my dog on walks throughout the day and once before bedtime, and I will take your dog as well. They are allowed on the sofa and I have multiple dog beds throughout the home. I currently work remotely so I will can give your dog child all the attention it needs while they adjust. I will treat your dog child like I do my own. Typically, I walk my dog throughout the day and once before bedtime to make sure they don’t feel any discomfort. I tailor my care for your pup, so if your pup loves to sleep I will happily give them the time and space to. If your dog loves walking then I make sure to take them on walks. I have pet carriers, a pet stroller, and dog car seats in my car to use as needed. I will send you photos throughout the day or as often as you request. I take their safety very seriously. If I sense any discomfort, I immediately try to address it in the most appropriate way, whether it be cuddles or space to decompress. I will never take your dog to the dog park and I will closely monitor any interactions with dogs during walks (if you have any concerns please let me know). I always leave water out for them and make sure they are fed according to their food schedule. I will attach an Apple ID tag to them for GPS. For dog boarding, since I have a small 12 lb chihuahua poodle mix, I kindly request meeting in a nearby park first so we can check that the pups will get along before taking them to my home. This is for everyone’s safety.
About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.
“Polina was amazing with Lola yesterday! It was pouring rain, and Lola absolutely hates going out when it’s wet, but Polina was so patient, kind, and understanding the whole time. She took the extra care to make sure Lola felt comfortable and never rushed her. I really appreciated her calm, gentle approach and the updates she shared. I’d definitely hire Polina again….highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who treats every pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.
“Yutong has been our regular dog walker this summer and is very communicative and timely! Our pup Wesley loves his walks with her. She is detailed in describing how the walk went and for an additional bonus takes very cute pictures of our goofy guy!”
About: Hi all! My name is Charlotte and I just graduated from UCSD. I am born and raised in Newport Beach and have a love for dogs and walking around our beautiful home.

Let me know if you need any assistance, I'd be more than happy to help. I am available almost every week day for walking and available weekends for house sitting! Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to chat and discuss more specifics. I make sure they always have someone around them to hang out with and give them attention, whether that's walks or just keeping them company. I prioritize sticking to their routine and making sure they have plenty of time to go outside, do their business, and get their energy out!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.
About: Hi! I’m Amber, and I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away. After recently relocating to Newport Coast, I’m excited to welcome local pups into my home again alongside my sweet terrier, Sophie. Before relocating, I earned 33 five-star Rover reviews caring for dogs in San Francisco, with clients consistently praising my communication, photo updates, and the love and attention their pups received. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Labrador Retrievers, Pit Bulls, Terriers, Maltese, puppies, and senior dogs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply curling up on the couch, I’ll tailor their stay to their personality and routine. Sophie is friendly, well-mannered, and enjoys having canine visitors. We live in a quiet Newport Coast community with beautiful walking trails and open grassy spaces, making it the perfect place for daily walks and outdoor time. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, so I treat every guest like family. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I work full-time Monday through Friday (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM), making evenings and weekends dedicated quality time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and adventures. If your pup is comfortable with this schedule, I’d love to welcome them into our home. We live in a quiet, well-maintained Newport Coast community with beautiful walking trails, open grassy areas, and a spacious balcony where pups can relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the fresh air!
About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.

“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!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s playing with an energetic puppy, taking a high-energy dog for a run, or going for a slow, gentle walk with a senior dog, I always adapt to their needs. I feel fortunate to be on Rover, as my flexible hybrid job allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, loved, and completely at ease. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing flexibility around my remote work schedule. On the days I work remotely, I can easily accommodate midday check-ins, walks, or runs for dogs. On weekends, I’m fully available for longer walks, playtime, or extended check-ins, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. As a dog walker and provider of at-home check-ins, I ensure that dogs get regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime according to their individual needs. During check-ins, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean living space, and monitor their well-being. I also send updates to their owners to keep them informed and reassured.
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Temi was amazing! Our pup had a little vacation of his own while staying with her. She kept us totally in the loop with sweet updates, photos, and videos that made us smile and feel so at ease.

Can’t recommend Temi enough—she’s a total gem and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

Thank you Allison and Moose!”

I would absolutely recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”
