“I cannot recommend Bennie and Jennie enough. We sent our two cats to stay with them and I have never been more satisfied with a cat sitter. Their space is very cat friendly, which my cats clearly loved for the many updates we received during their stay. One of our cats needed ear drops twice daily and they were amazing with this-giving them to her with seemingly minimal resistance based on the video and photo updates they sent for each medicine application time. It was clear the cats were comfortable and well taken care of during their stay. We will not hesitate to book again for the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“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!”
“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!! 💛”
“Wendi was great taking of my senior dog and my new 4 month old puppy. Second time I used Wendi and her husband are great people who take pride and spend time with your dogs.”
“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!”
“Ryan sends out lots of photos and video updates and he truly cared for our pup while we had to be away, and accepted our request last minute — very responsive, responsible host. Thank you!!”
“Jazmin took excellent care of Sammy. Before the stay, she took the time to learn all about Sammy and his personality, and she made sure he felt safe and happy while we were traveling. I can’t think of a better pet sitter than Jazmin, I will definitely use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“Our two pups, Lola and BB, love Thavery! Thavery sends daily photo updates and takes the girls on fun walks. We trust her to administer all the necessary medication that our 14 year dog needs. One of our dogs hurt her leg recently, and Thavery was so accomodating to her needs.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“Samantha provided kiya with an excellent stay! The photos and multiple updates put us at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of. Definitely will be using Samantha as my go to sitter 🐶”
“Kalvin was absolutely amazing with Dexter! He took care of him for a couple of days and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. He was super responsive, kept me updated with texts and pictures, and it was clear Dexter was happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful and would 100% trust him again. Highly recommend!”
“Laura outdoes herself when caring for our pups! We have been avid rover users for years but she really takes the medal for spoiling them with such love! Between all the updates, adventures they go on, and souvenirs, they really are getting the most luxurious getaway! Thank you so much Laura!! Such an amazing find for us.”

“I cannot rave enough about Nicole. She responded to my request immediately, was extremely flexible, kind, and professional, and made my dog who can be very anxious extremely comfortable. She sent me cute pics of my pup throughout the weekend at the beach, playing with other new dog friends, and getting lots of love and attention. It made our family vacation so much better having peace of mind knowing our dog was being well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Nicole the next time we are in the Newport Beach area!”

“Kristina was absolutely fantastic with my Shih Tzu, Bernie. She gave us updates and let me know if there were any issues. Bernie doesn’t like other dogs and I have also been scared of the new dog virus. She was incredibly understanding of this and assured me that she would avoid other dogs and do her best to keep him away. He seemed right at home with her and I’m so grateful to have found Kristina!”

“Bennie and Jennie went above and beyond to keep my cat entertained with an array of fun toys, and I could tell my cat was having a great time with them. They were incredibly attentive to his needs and sent me frequent updates with adorable photos and videos, which really helped ease my mind while I was away.

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.
“Rachel was amazing watching our furry and not so furry kiddos for the honeymoon! Thank you so much, you gave us the peace of mind and comfort to leave them for the first time with no family. They wanted to play even more than before when we got back!”
“Justin took care of my cat Asya for 3days and we are all happy!! Justin followed our instructions carefully, played with Asya and stayed with her longer than expected. Thank you for taking your time and provide excellent care for our cat.”
About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!
About: I am very comfortable caring for cats and understand that most cats do best when their routine and environment stay consistent. I will follow your instructions closely around feeding, litter, medication, playtime, and how much interaction your cat actually wants. Some cats want attention, conversation, brushing, and play. Others want a clean litter box, fresh food and water, and the dignity of being left alone until they decide I am acceptable. I’m fine with both. For drop-ins, I can feed your cat, refresh water, clean litter, give medication if needed, check for any changes in behavior, bring in mail or packages, and send updates so you know they are safe and cared for. For overnight care, I’m happy to stay in your home and keep your cat company while respecting their space and normal routine. Before booking, I appreciate knowing your cat’s feeding schedule, litter box routine, hiding spots, medication needs, temperament, escape risks, and any behaviors or health concerns I should watch for.
“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!”
“Sabrina is the most amazing and considerate sitter! This was Luna’s very first time alone at home and Sabrina made it her priority to make sure Luna was happy and well. Coming by twice a day for weeks is very time consuming and difficult job but she did it with patience and a smile. She was excellent with her communication and wrote beautiful little report cards everyday with multiple photos to show us that Luna was okay. I knew Luna was in good hands from the very first day and we are so grateful to have met Sabrina! Thank you Sabrina for being such an amazing best friend and sitter for Luna! ♥️”
“My dogs love Ashlee! She takes great care of them and gives all the love they could want. Good with oral medication, refrigerated food, fetch, walks, raincoats, you name it. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria is a rock solid sitter who you can rely on 100% she went beyond the call to help during my trip and I was able to rest assured my kitties were well cared for even as life's little emergencies pull us in all directions.”
“Ryan did an amazing job with my dog Koda! I could tell Koda had a great time on his walk and felt comfortable with Ryan right away. He was super responsive and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Ryan clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. He quickly understood and followed Koda’s walking routine and handled his occasional reactivity around other dogs with confidence and ease. I’ll definitely be booking Ryan again.”
“Irene is fantastic. Very professional, communicates extremely well, and is great with our dog. Our pup is in a shy phase, and Irene has been extremely patient with her as they get to know each other. She knows how to properly establish a relationship with dogs. She always sends detailed reports, and makes sure our dog is comfortable and has her food and water taken care of. Looking forward to continuing on with Irene.”
About: I’m a devoted cat mom with lots of hands-on experience caring for both short- and long-haired cats, including daily brushing, trimming, litter care, and giving medication with wet food. Right now, I’m caring for five Bengals, from seniors to playful younger cats, and I love tailoring care to each cat’s personality and needs. I provide safe outdoor adventures, including backyard exploration and supervised walks. I know how to keep curious or high-energy cats safe when they climb or explore tricky spots, and I use toys and interactive play (like games with branches) to keep them entertained. I also focus on trust and affection—like when one of the Bengal cats gently put his paw on my hand while taking his meds, which was such a sweet moment! Whether it’s a senior cat needing extra care, a playful Bengal needing exercise, or a sneaky kitty who likes to explore, I make sure every cat feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I absolutely love my pet cats and have a true passion for caring for animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I've spent several years pet sitting in my neighborhood, providing dependable, attentive care and treating every pet like my own!
“Zhaoyang saved the day! We were able to book her for a week on very short notice. My cat loved her and even made friends with her other cats. She sent us daily pictures, and assured us that she was getting all the pets and chin scratches. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Javier was super friendly, reliable, and hard-working. He did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my two cats, and I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Javier and will 100% be contacting him again next time I need cat care!”

“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”
“Mari, Ryan and Remy are a dream come true! My pup is such an energetic poodle mix boy and they totally get him! It’s a match made in heaven. They send so many photos, are more than communicative and thoughtful. They are so on top of it, it’s already making me a better dog mom. Goose comes home tired- finally! Long play times and walks are what we were looking for. Sad that it took 2.5 years to find them but happy to have them a part of our lives now!”
“Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Lisa was great with our 4.5 month old puppy! She took him on multiple walks and sent us photo updates throughout the day. We would book again next time we need dog sitting.”
“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.”
About: Local TCU student home for the summer who loves animals and is looking for a fun, flexible side gig. I’m responsible, easygoing, and happy to hang out with dogs and treat them like my own. I’m currently home for the summer working a part-time job and looking to fill the gaps with pet care. I already take care of my energetic Duck Tolling Retriever, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, and general care. Attention to your pet, routines, and instructions are my top priority! I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. My own dog is always on the move, so I’m used to staying aware of things like open doors and food left out.
“Melanie was great! She was super communicative and easy to book with. I appreciated all the updates and pictures. I could tell my two dogs were well taken care of, they were very comfortable and happy! Will definitely book again!”
“Kristina is the best! She took great care of our dog Biscuit and sent frequent updates with photos. It’s so important to know that your pet is in good hands when you’re away. Kristina definitely made us feel secure and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”
About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)
“Second time using Twinkle and would use again. She takes great care of my little blind senior fur baby. She communicates well and sends updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her ❤️”
About: I have grown up with dogs as my best friends and frequently foster for local rescues. 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! 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! Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any questions.

“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!”
“Amazing experience sending Tony to daycare with Morgan! Tony was so well taken care of and clearly felt comfortable right away. We loved getting updates and seeing how he was doing throughout the day. He came home happy which was all we could ask for. We’d 100% book again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. After sharing 14 wonderful years with my French Bulldog, Bijoux, I found Rover to be a special way to continue caring for dogs—even when I didn’t have one of my own. I have open availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. During your pet’s stay, I am home full-time and provide attentive, one-on-one companionship. I never double-book or care for multiple pets at the same time, ensuring your pet receives my full focus and care. I live with my partner in a townhome, and he is also an educator who shares my love for dogs. Together, we provide a caring, calm environment where your fur baby will receive plenty of extra love and attention. A meet-and-greet will always be scheduled before any service to get to know you and your pet. This gives us time to connect, discuss important details about your pet’s needs and routine, and ensure that my services are the right fit for both you and your pup. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to share detailed instructions when leaving your dog in someone else’s care, so please feel free to tell me anything that will help me provide the best possible experience—whether it’s medical needs, preferences, routines, or special quirks. My goal is to offer consistent, loving care that mirrors what your pet receives at home.
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.

“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running.

She took the time to meet with my Dog before her first walk and get the lay of the land at our house, she sent me photos every time she was walking the dog and a full report of how my pup was doing and had done on the walk. She was so thoughtful and attentive- she even noticed our pup needed a bit of ice in her water bowl to cool down after the walk and provided her with some! We will definitely be booking future walks with Brie!”
About: I have 30 years of experience caring for pets, from giant breeds to bunnies. My heart belongs to rescues; I currently have two lab mixes rescued from LA County. I’m deeply comfortable with large, energetic dogs and sensitive strays, providing the patient, reliable care every good boy or good girl deserves. As a small business owner, I dedicate my full attention to supporting professionals who work full-time. I offer reliable morning, midday, and late afternoon visits to ensure your furbabies get the exercise, potty breaks, and love they need while you are at the office. My schedule is consistent, allowing for a dependable routine that both you and your pets can count on every day. I prioritize safety above all else, especially for large breeds and rescues. My experience with LA County rescue dogs means I am highly skilled at reading body language and managing leash reactivity or anxiety. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and ensure all pets are secured and comfortable before I leave. You can trust that your furbabies are in capable, vigilant, and loving hands.
About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.
“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!”
“Awesome reliable dog sitter. Carol is very flexible and accommodating. This is my second time using her services and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter on SSI.”
About: There's nothing I love more than caring for animals, and I bring genuine warmth and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I had the joy of sharing my life with my own dog for 12 wonderful years. In his later years, he needed senior care: managing medications, watching for subtle changes in mood or appetite, accommodating slower walks and extra rest, and giving him the patience and tenderness that older dogs deserve. That experience taught me how much the small details matter, especially for pets in their golden years. Beyond my own dog, I've long been the go-to sitter in my community, caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family. I've handled everything from energetic puppies to anxious rescues to easygoing seniors, and I genuinely enjoy learning each animal's quirks, routines, and personality. What sets me apart is simple: I'm incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs gentle senior care, lots of playtime, or just a calm, loving presence while you're away, I'll do my very best to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting at almost any time of day, any day of the week. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I can make it work. In your home: I treat your space with the same respect and care I'd want in my own. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, walk times, favorite spots, house rules so your pet feels minimal disruption while you're away. I'm tidy, responsible with keys and security, and I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. I'm also comfortable bringing in mail, watering plants, or rotating lights if that helps your home feel lived-in. In my home: My home is a calm, safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest and play. I keep hazards out of reach, secure doors and gates, and give each pet a quiet spot to settle in. Pets are never left unattended for long stretches, and I tailor the day around their personality whether that's lots of play and walks or peaceful lounging nearby. I'm especially mindful with senior dogs, making sure bedding is comfortable, footing is secure, and medication or feeding schedules stay exactly on track. Safety & trust: I'm attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy - often the first signs something's off. I keep emergency vet info on hand, follow any care instructions to the letter, and will always reach out immediately if anything seems unusual. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority, every single time! :)
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.

“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!”
“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!! 💛”
“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!”
“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“Samantha provided kiya with an excellent stay! The photos and multiple updates put us at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of. Definitely will be using Samantha as my go to sitter 🐶”
“Laura outdoes herself when caring for our pups! We have been avid rover users for years but she really takes the medal for spoiling them with such love! Between all the updates, adventures they go on, and souvenirs, they really are getting the most luxurious getaway! Thank you so much Laura!! Such an amazing find for us.”

I am home throughout the day, which allows me to provide dogs with consistent attention, care, and companionship.

“I cannot rave enough about Nicole. She responded to my request immediately, was extremely flexible, kind, and professional, and made my dog who can be very anxious extremely comfortable. She sent me cute pics of my pup throughout the weekend at the beach, playing with other new dog friends, and getting lots of love and attention. It made our family vacation so much better having peace of mind knowing our dog was being well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Nicole the next time we are in the Newport Beach area!”
“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!”
“Vi is just wonderful. She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs. She took them on walks and treated them as her own. Vi really helped my dogs adjust to being away from us for the first time. Vi sent daily updates and her pictures/videos were awesome. She made us feel comfortable that our dogs were in good hands. Thank you Vi!”
“Mia was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, and they truly looked like they were having the best time.
