“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“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: Each home and heart I care for receives genuine attention, mindful presence, and gentle respect. Your animals are treated as family with warmth, intuition and reliability you can feel. I am flexible Thursday-Sunday to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I provide gentle, reliable in home care so your animals can stay comfortable in their surroundings. Each visit is guided by patience, presence and genuine love for their well-being. I create trust and security by showing up with consistency and presence. Animal families sense that they are safe, loved and understood in my company. I nurture each animal as family, honoring their unique personalities, rhythms and needs with patience and compassion.
“Now, what do you do if you find out you need to evacuate your home for eight hours with a day's notice? I don't think most people plan for situations like this, and we tend to scramble for solutions when life introduces surprises like these smack dab in the middle of a normal week. I have two kittens that needed a place to stay while my apartment was suddenly worked on, and unsurprisingly, I had no idea where to start. It's not like I had much time either— only a handful of hours to plan something out. Thankfully, I stumbled onto Rover and eventually came across Jennie and Bennie. They responded to my inquiry within minutes and quickly scheduled an appointment for me to check out their cat suite the following evening. It was the best response time I've received from any service in recent history. The cat suite itself was incredibly impressive. Jennie and Bennie know exactly how to cater to cats of all types, from the overly sociable to those who prefer to keep to themselves. It didn't take long after meeting them I knew my kittens would be under great care here. Throughout the short stay, Jennie and Bennie provided me with pictures and videos of the kittens as they explored their new temporary home. There wasn't any reason to worry about how the kittens were adjusting because they sent me constant updates during the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jennie and Bennie are amazing people who know exactly how to care for cats. They've created a fantastic area for our feline friends, and I'd definitely book with them again.”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“I truly can’t recommend Hyo Yi highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bodhi, and seemed to genuinely love spending time with him. She also sent photos and a detailed update about him every day of our trip, which I really appreciated. Bodhi came home so happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her dog sit for us again! 🤍🤗”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“Connie was amazing with Red! He’s barely been away from us in the 4 years we’ve had him. She was so kind and loving to him, she treated him as if he were her own.”
“Nicole is amazing - she picked up Rylie from my friend's house while I was out of the country. She took Rylie with her to her doggie day care and Rylie played with other dogs. Nicole was flexible with my schedule when my flight was delayed and I had to get Rylie later. I would use Nicole again.”
“Kristina was super easy to communicate with and most importantly she took really good care of my pup. It was my first time using Rover so I was quite anxious about it. Kristina made it seamless and easy, updated me regularly and just gave me reassurance that our pup was in perfect hands.”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Temi was amazing with our dog! We got updates all the time and it felt like Maui was on vacation with her sitter while we were away. She took her to the park, on walks, and to the beach! Will definitely be rebooking with Temi in the future.”

“Annie is amazing! She takes great care of our pup and was super flexible with pickup time when we got trapped in traffic traveling back from Mammoth. So happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of our doggo when we need it! Additionally, her daily updates and pictures are so awesome - made me feel comfortable about our pup being away from us.”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Wonderful dog sitter! They sent photos of my dog several times throughout the day and gave me updates to make me feel comfortable while they were watching my dog. I will use them again for sure.”

Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend”
“Samantha walked and played with my pup for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was a very very reliable pet walker! She did SOOO WELL with my German Shepard and my kitty.

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school.
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: What sets me apart is that I truly understand dogs because I’ve been on both sides—I’ve dog-sat for others and I’ve owned dogs myself. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different personalities and energy levels. Having my own dogs has taught me how to read behavior, maintain routines, and provide loving, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently available Mondays and Sundays at any time, and on other weekdays after 3 PM, making it easy to accommodate walks. I currently work another job For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and positive experiences.

“Such amazing sitters! They are both so warm and friendly, very genuine and you can tell they truly love dogs. Both of my girls felt right at home and loved cuddling so I know they were SO happy. 😁 I also loved all of the updates and how much they included them in their plans, it’s like Maple and Wasabi had their own little adventure today! 🐾 Made me so happy that they were having a good find while I was away, will definitely be booking again! ⭐️”

“I have 2 fur kids- and was seeking a trustworthy kind sitter, specifically for some special needs for my almost 18yr old terrier poodle mix. It truly takes a special person to understand the gentleness and extra care needed for seniors specifically- I came across Lisa‘s profile and SHE IS AMAZING!! I booked her and utilized her services immediately. I plan to have many more visits with her in the future! My cuties LOVE HER. ?? She is very attentive, sends Photos and updates etc. Trust me, as a neurotic dog mom it takes a lot to impress me- and I am BEYOND impressed!! THANK YOU LISA!??”
“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!”
“Ning is very sweet and sends you multiple updates per day of your pup! She’s very caring and I can tell my dog had a great time staying with her! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Excellent Dog Sitter I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! Seungyeon was wonderful with my dog, very caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated and treated my dog like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”

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.

My top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine!

“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’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.
“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”
About: 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.

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. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. 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!😉
“Amanda is amazing!!! She came in the pouring rain to walk my baby. She took the time to allow Maggie to warm up to her. My baby does not let anyone outside the family touch her, but somehow Amanda was able to pet her on the first day. Amanda is RELIABLE and responsible. She shown up on time. She’s responsive and trustworthy. You can tell that she loves dogs and is kindhearted. I’m so fortunate to have found her!!!”
About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.
“Polina is a dream come true! I needed a dog walker last minute and she responded to my request immediately and was able to come over the next day for a meet and greet. Oliver, our Frenchie, goes nuts when people come to the door, especially strangers. But Polina seemed to be a dog whisperer, as Oliver barked only a couple of times, and she immediately knelt down and snuggled him. He absolutely adored her! We spent 20 minutes chatting about his specific needs and habits during his walks, and I hired her on the spot to take him for his 30 minute walk. I received a video during the walk, and upon return, she talked with me about how the walk went and mutually agreed she would be our dog walker for all future walks. I can't find the words for how comforted I was knowing Oliver adored her and trusted her. She told me that this job (she does this full time - including pet sitting) is a dream come true for her as she is an avid animal lover but can't have animals where she lives. I highly recommend Polina to care for your pets. Don't hesitate...she's the real deal!!”
About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet frequently. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m reliable and detail oriented, and will make sure to follow care instructions precisely. I will keep your home safe and clean for your pets while you are away.
About: I have had pets for my entire life (and that's a long time). I have been fostering puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for the last several years. I am now a newly empty nest Mom with a very quiet house. In all my years having family pets, like you are now, I always found a private sitter to care for my animals while I was away. I believe pets are not meant to be boarded if it can be avoided. I am a newly empty nest, stay at home Mom with lots of time, energy and space to care for puppies/dogs and kittens/cats. We have a large, two story home with a fully fenced back yard and side pet door that leads to a fully enclosed run. While in my care your pet(s) will be cared for with love, kindness and consistency from your home to ours. A seamless "vacation" at home.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for and walking dogs for over 15 years and truly love animals of all sizes and personalities. I have experience with dogs ranging from tiny 3-pound pups to larger 50+ pound dogs, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once or providing dedicated one-on-one attention for pets who prefer a calmer environment. I grew up around dogs and have extensive pet sitting experience, & can administer necessary medication if needed. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. Since I work from home full-time, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day. I can accommodate your dog’s routine, whether they enjoy frequent walks, outdoor time, play sessions, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I personally enjoy going on walks often and live near a park with grassy areas perfect for exercise and fresh air. I also have a private patio for pets who enjoy lounging outside safely. I live in a safe, gated, pet-friendly community and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I pride myself on being attentive, gentle, patient, and reliable, and I treat every pet like family. Plenty of filtered water, cuddles, and care included! I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 attention. I can take them on as many or as little walks as you’d want. I personally go on walks every 2 hours or so. I have a park in my neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas. Have a patio if they just want air too! I give pets 110% of my attention. I work from home, so they will always have company. I am in a gated community, so it is very safe and pet friendly. Plenty of filtered water to go around! I am gentle and kind.
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.
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 a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer.

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.

“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“I truly can’t recommend Hyo Yi highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bodhi, and seemed to genuinely love spending time with him. She also sent photos and a detailed update about him every day of our trip, which I really appreciated. Bodhi came home so happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her dog sit for us again! 🤍🤗”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
“Connie was amazing with Red! He’s barely been away from us in the 4 years we’ve had him. She was so kind and loving to him, she treated him as if he were her own.”
“Nicole is amazing - she picked up Rylie from my friend's house while I was out of the country. She took Rylie with her to her doggie day care and Rylie played with other dogs. Nicole was flexible with my schedule when my flight was delayed and I had to get Rylie later. I would use Nicole again.”
“Temi was amazing with our dog! We got updates all the time and it felt like Maui was on vacation with her sitter while we were away. She took her to the park, on walks, and to the beach! Will definitely be rebooking with Temi in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every pet. 🐾 As both a mother and a pet mom, caring for others is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of trust, patience, safety, routines, and attention to detail. Your pet will be cared for like part of my own family with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive to your pup’s needs throughout the day. 🐾 Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention while your pup is boarding with me. I have a cozy, secure space and two small furry friends of my own who are friendly and enjoy the company of other pets. 🐾 I also have young adult kids who are animal lovers, so your little critter will have plenty of extra love, attention, and helping hands during their stay. Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“This was Taco’s first time staying with Rebecca and Tom and it won’t be the last! They care so much and are so attentive. I really appreciate how they kept the dogs separate upon tacos arrival so they could warm up to each other before letting her freely interact with everyone else. Taco clearly had a blast. And Rebecca sends photos throughout the day which gave so much peace of mind. It made me feel free to enjoy my time because I could see how much she was enjoying hers💖”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Joshua is friendly, attentive, and is great with dogs. He took the time to reach out if there were any concerns or other observations he had with the dogs. The dogs came back happy and healthy after my 5 day trip, and I’d be happy to rebook with him again.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Hanna & David were absolutely the best while babysitting my dog Loki. They sent me multiple pictures and I could tell that Loki was happy. Their dog Evan is also the nicest guy ever, and was super sweet and friendly to Loki. I would absolutely recommend them and I will book again with them in the future.”
“We are very grateful for how Megan took care of our 7 year old Golden while we were away, sending pictures and updates everyday. Megan is a great communicator, very caring and truly loves dogs. We will love to have Jingle stay with her in the future and we highly recommend Megan!”
“Rommel and his family were exceptional sitters to Stormy. He was immediately responsive, sent updated photos throughout the week, and catered to my older dog’s dietary needs. 10/10 recommend”
“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 🐶!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was young, I love animals! I have my own furry pet, and I consider him family :) I’m a full-time student, so my schedule varies throughout the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can provide your pet with dependable, attentive care! I have a social friendly 20lb dog that can keep your fur baby company, if requested! I live in an apartment with its own bark park but I know many safe nature routes, parks, and paved streets for any requested longer walks. I take my own fur baby on them often! :)
