“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book 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!”
“Once again had an amazing experience with Bennie & Jennie. Received lots of photo and text updates so we knew how both of our cats were doing during our short weekend trip. Even with one of our cats taking a while to get comfortable being away from us, we knew they were both well taken care of during their stay.”
“Deborah was the best person we could’ve found to take care of our dog Chelsea. She was very nice and caring towards her, al her experience fostering dogs really showed up. Normally Chelsea doesn’t open up to strangers but she was very happy and confident with Deborah. Everyday we received picture or video updates she looked like she was having the best time. I would 100% recommend Deborah if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your fur baby. ❤️”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Wendi was an actual dream. She set up the meet and greet and was able to come through at the last minute when someone else bailed. She worked with my dogs unique personality, sent me lots of pictures and let me know what was going on with him. I felt like my dog was safe with her, and LOVED! Really I can’t be happier with the experience.”
“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!!”
“Grace is an amazing pet mom. She treated Ollie so well he was a bit disappointed I picked him up. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about their activities. He had a few outings and was well exercised by the time I got him. Grace was also very accommodating when my work event ran over and I picked up Ollie a few hours later than expected”
“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!”
“Chungin was Fantastic! My dog loved her staying with Chungin. She sent a lot of photos of my dog to us and gave us updates so often. That made us feel so comfortable therefore we could enjoy our trip without worrying about our puppy. I could see that my dog was enjoying her time with Chungin and her dog Bomi. Chungin is awesome, I really appreciated her care and love to my puppy.”
“Laura was amazing!!! She constantly kept me updated on what my pup was up to and sent lots of pictures. She seems like someone who truly cares for people’s pets and I would 100% recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Connie is such a compassionate, caring person, and she truly goes the extra mile when caring for our pup.❤️ We have a senior dog, who requires some extra affection and care, and Connie has gone above and beyond each time she watches her. We are so thankful! Since our pup cannot tolerate treats, Connie was so thoughtful to make little treats from her special dog food. She kept us updated throughout the week our dog stayed with her, sending us pictures and letting us know how our girl was doing. Your dog will be in the BEST care with Connie, she is truly amazing and cares for your animal like her own.💕 Thank you, Connie!”
“We had such a great experience! Kiryl took amazing care of our dog for the entire week and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”

“Bennie & Jennie are sooo amazing! Once again, I rebooked them to watch over my cat because of a work trip. They made sure she was well cared for and even celebrated her first birthday with a (cat food) cake and candle 🥹. She's definitely getting more comfortable with their cats so I'm glad she had cat friends to celebrate her birthday. 10/10!”
“We’re so grateful to Irina for taking such wonderful care of our two cats while we were away! From the start, she was kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She made sure our cats were well-fed, comfortable, and got the attention they needed. One of the things we appreciated most was that she sent us pictures and a little report after each visit — it gave us real peace of mind and always brought a smile to our faces. We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties — and a tidy home too! We highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Super grateful Irene was able to watch my fur king - 2 year old Ragamuffin Tyler 😊 we discussed all essentials prior to my work related trip and she followed up with me, gave me updates and took thorough and thoughtful care of my cat! I would book with her again. You’re in good hands with Irene!”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my sweet grandpa kitty. Very responsive and sent many updates spending quality time with my 16 year old kitty. Will definitely be using here again!”
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.
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!
“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.”
“Sabrina is the best! I have two cats, one of whom is a real problem child. :-( Sabrina managed to prevail over my bad boy Jack. I have nothing but the highest praise for Sabrina and would recommend her to anyone for kitty care! :-)”
“Justin was fantastic. He took good care of our three cats and gave them the cuddles and attention they needed when we were on vacation. He gave us detailed reports and a lot of pictures. Thanks, Justin! Ember, Westley, and Blaise loved hanging with you!”
“Lauren is so kind and caring and my cats seem to really love her! I was nervous to hire a cat sitter that I didn’t personally know but she gave me a lot of peace of mind :) I will definitely be using her again if needed!”
“Rachel is so sweet and skilled at taking care of the pets. I requested additional service for my cats and she did such a good job! Would highly recommend Rachel as a sitter!!!!”
“Zhaoyang is a lifesaver! I left the care of my cats with my roommate, but he's an idiot and didn't do a good job. I was overseas, frantically looking for someone who could drop in and care for my babies. Zhaoyang stepped in, knew exactly what to do, no additional instructions were needed. She's smart, timely and cares for animals. I highly recommend her.”
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.
About: I have a 12-year-old Himalayan with stage 1 kidney disease and have always been a lifelong cat lover. In recent years, I’ve cared for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with asthma, and both social and shy cats.
“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!”
About: I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each cat’s personality. I have experience with feeding, refreshing water, and maintaining a clean litter box, but what sets me apart is my attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and mood. I understand that many cats can feel stressed when their routine changes, so I focus on creating a peaceful, consistent environment. Whether your cat enjoys playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs and respect their boundaries. I also provide daily updates with photos and notes, so you can feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“My two dogs had a wonderful time staying at Hanah and Dabin’s beautiful apartment. They were very accommodating and kind, especially since one of my dogs recently had surgery. Also, both of my dogs are needy and suffer from separation anxiety, so they can be a lot to handle. Hanah and Dabin were very communicative and kept me updated with photos, which put me at ease while I was away. I felt safe leaving my dogs with them. Thank you, Hanah and Dabin! I look forward to the next time.”
“Emuna had such a great time last week so I decided to booked one more time with Sonomi. She exceeded my expectation. Emuna got to play in the park, walk the neighborhood and have healthy snacks. Thank you, Sonomi.”
“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.”
“My dog Kermit stayed with Mia and absolutely loved it. He had the best time and was cared for exceptionally :) Mia sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay and that really gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Mia!”
“Kristina was amazing and very accommodating to our changing schedule, which was much appreciated. She kept in contact and sent pictures and our pup returned very happy 😊”
About: I’ve had a love for animals from a very young age, especially dogs. I’ve helped my family take care of many dogs throughout the years and have also helped out friends/neighbors. In my life time, my immediate family has 4 dogs, a rottweiler, an unknown chihuahua mix, and 2 chihuahua/dachshund mix. The two chihuahua/dachshund mixes are still alive but they live in my childhood home where I no longer live but I still help take care of them when needed. I now have a dog of my own, he is a Golden Retriever and his name is Tucker. Tucker is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet and he loves all people and animals. Although I have lots of experience with dogs, Tucker is the reason I know I would be a reliable and good choice for helping out with your animals. Tucker is the first dog I’ve ever had to take care of on my own and I think I’ve done a pretty good job. Tucker has also taught me to be responsible and dependable because unfortunately at just 6 months old he was diagnosed with sub aortic stenosis. If you don’t know what this is, it has to do with his heart, so it is not at all contagious! I wanted to include this because since he was diagnosed I’ve had to take extra good care of him and make sure he receives his medication twice a day. So I would also be a good choice if your dog is in need of medication. I hope you choose me to look after your animals! I’m currently a student-athlete who is available full-time because I have the summer completely off. I would be able to care for your pet any time of the day. This could include just dropping in to check on them, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, or staying with them over night. If you are in need of me watching your pet for multiple days, our days would include multiple walks a day and some dog park play if that is something you would want. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and a super friendly golden retriever. Although I don’t have a yard, your dog would still get lots of outside play! I often take my dog on a short walk every hour or so, and at least two longer walks every day. We also sometimes go to the dog park. I would be able to accommodate to any needs of your dog and will follow any rules or expectations given to me!
“Ryan, Marianna, and Remy (their cute Labradoodle) did a fantastic job taking care of our Bernadoodle Lani, and agreed to do so on very short notice. We know Lani had a fun time with them because they sent multiple pictures and videos, which we greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Lots of play time and 2 walks, and Lani was a happy dog! We will certainly use them again the next time we need daycare for her.”
“I have a rescue dog, Audrey, with really bad separation anxiety. She howls, cries, and barks when I’m not around. Morgan is amazing!! Super friendly. Great communication. Amazing with pets!! This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”
About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire 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, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. 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:)
“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!”
About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
“Joanna is undoubtedly the best!! Alpha loves her so so much. She walked him twice, followed all my instructions, and gave her full attention to my boy. Thank you Joanna, ur amazing ❤️”
“Kelli is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our puppy, making him feel comfortable and loved as if he were part of her own family l. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. The photo updates are a wonderful touch and truly show how much fun he has. We couldn’t ask for a better doggie daycare sitter!”
“Provided ample feedback throughout the stay that was super appreciated! Made our puppy feel comfortable and like a member of their family. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“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!”

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.
“Irina was quick to respond to my request for service and she even came over to do a meet and greet before the first day. She sent me pictures and videos and even accommodated adding an extra time slot during my weekend trip!”
“Marcelle is wonderful! She took special care of our timid dog Winnie. I loved that she was very communicative through the whole process and she made time to see our house and meet Winnie in advance of the scheduled walk. She has a kind heart and we will definitely book 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.

Since I am available throughout all weekdays and weekends, I can accommodate a variety of schedules, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Every pet has unique needs and routines, so I will follow all care instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I will provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and supervised care. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos :)
About: I’ve had two dogs while going to school! I got them both when they were babies and played, took care of them, and treated them well. I am working part-time remotely so I have a lot of time and flexibility to take care of your pets! I also have a car so I can go pretty much anywhere if needed. I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night !

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.

For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.
“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”
“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: I have taken my daughter’s and friends dogs out for walks, I enjoy interacting with dogs have watched my daughter’s dog for overnight for few nights.

“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals from a very young age, especially dogs. I’ve helped my family take care of many dogs throughout the years and have also helped out friends/neighbors. In my life time, my immediate family has 4 dogs, a rottweiler, an unknown chihuahua mix, and 2 chihuahua/dachshund mix. The two chihuahua/dachshund mixes are still alive but they live in my childhood home where I no longer live but I still help take care of them when needed. I now have a dog of my own, he is a Golden Retriever and his name is Tucker. Tucker is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet and he loves all people and animals. Although I have lots of experience with dogs, Tucker is the reason I know I would be a reliable and good choice for helping out with your animals. Tucker is the first dog I’ve ever had to take care of on my own and I think I’ve done a pretty good job. Tucker has also taught me to be responsible and dependable because unfortunately at just 6 months old he was diagnosed with sub aortic stenosis. If you don’t know what this is, it has to do with his heart, so it is not at all contagious! I wanted to include this because since he was diagnosed I’ve had to take extra good care of him and make sure he receives his medication twice a day. So I would also be a good choice if your dog is in need of medication. I hope you choose me to look after your animals! I’m currently a student-athlete who is available full-time because I have the summer completely off. I would be able to care for your pet any time of the day. This could include just dropping in to check on them, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, or staying with them over night. If you are in need of me watching your pet for multiple days, our days would include multiple walks a day and some dog park play if that is something you would want. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and a super friendly golden retriever. Although I don’t have a yard, your dog would still get lots of outside play! I often take my dog on a short walk every hour or so, and at least two longer walks every day. We also sometimes go to the dog park. I would be able to accommodate to any needs of your dog and will follow any rules or expectations given to me!

“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book 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!”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“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!”
“Laura was amazing!!! She constantly kept me updated on what my pup was up to and sent lots of pictures. She seems like someone who truly cares for people’s pets and I would 100% recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”
“Gracie was great from start to finish. She made sure our dogs got along prior to the boarding to eliminate any surprises. She updated us either their status periodically along with pictures. Will definitely use her 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!”
“I found myself needing a dog sitter for my two dogs (1 timu terrier and one chunky chihuahua) for a 10 day stretch with only about four days notice after another sitter flaked on me. I booked Mollie and she contacted me right away to confirm discuss the details. It was very easy to set up. Drop off was very easy. She asked how frequently I wanted updates and I told her once a day is totally fine. She followed through with updates and pictures every day without me needing to ask, I could tell from her updates that they were acting like they do at home, so I had great peace of mind the whole time I was gone that they were in good hands. When I got back, pick up was likewise super easy. The dogs were happy and healthy, and the next time I need a sitter, Mollie will definitely be my first call.”
“Allison was so wonderful!! She arranged a meet and greet beforehand and was so accommodating to our travels for pick up and drop off. Hiro had such a good time playing with Moose and cuddling with Allison! I received many updates with photos and videos while we were away- and Hiro always looked like he was right at home. Thank you Allison and Moose!”
“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!”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
“Tina is awesome! Very professional, gives frequent updates, and most importantly I can tell my dog is well loved and taken care of there. Her two daughters play with him and it’s adorable. Highly recommend!”
“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. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great care and getting so much love and attention while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“My dog Apollo had a great time staying with JK! He was well entertained while I was away and when my dog’s old harness broke they even had an extra one for him to use. I would let Apollo stay with them anytime!”
“Rebecca was fantastic! She arranged a play date prior to booking our dog's stay so that we could all feel comfortable that everyone would get along, and they did. Rebecca's house and yard is setup perfectly for dogs and she sent many photos and videos so that we knew our pup was happy. Our pup came home exhausted from all the playing and we knew she had a great time! Rebecca and her husband are great caretakers and very loving and we can't wait to book again with them!”
