“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! BEST BOARDER EVER! We are so lucky to have found him! He took amazing care of our dog Kona and she has issues with other dogs, but he handled it perfectly and she trusted him fully. He is kind, calm patient and definitely has a special way with dogs. Such a kind hearted loving person! Kona came back so happy n healthy and No “recovery time from boarding” like we have had in past. She was better than ever! Cannot recommend him enough. He sent Daily videos and or pictures and a description of how she was doing physically emotionally and how she was doing with other dogs (her main issue). So so impressed by him!!”
“Jocelyn did an exceptional job caring for Penny. She took care of Penny for 3 days and we couldn't be more happier. She updated us a number of times while our Penny was under her care and sent pictures and videos to keep us up to date. We will definitely book Penny with Jocelyn again.”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“Tara was exceptional. 5++++. We were in town visiting family (no dogs were allowed in the rental house.) Tara made pick up and drop off super quick and efficient and our pup even came home with a new toy!!! She kept me updated With videos and pictures. I felt 100% confident leaving my dog with her And will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
“I highly recommend Muskaan! Sully was acting off on the day I brought him to her and she was very reassuring. She sent me plenty of daily updates with pictures and videos so that I knew Sully was doing well. He was walked twice a day and got lots of love. It was a great experience.”
“This was my first time using rover I was a little nervous but I had an amazing experience and Sondra and Kirk were so nice and accommodating when I was running late and leia had a great stay and got updated with photos throughout the day! Thank you can’t wait for leia to stay again!”
“Saeedeh is second mommy to my Shi tzu, Taddy. Taddy is so attached to me, and has detach anxiety. He gets anxious and scared if we leave him somewhere even with his dr. He stayed with Saeede for entire week, when we were away and he was so happy when we picked him up. Saeedeh even took him for a visit with my mom so he feels safe. He was loved and being taking care of. I absolutely recommend Saeedeh to all my friends and family. Now I am relieved that Taddy has a second home, when needed.”
“My fiance and I were so grateful to have found Ellie to watch Toby! Toby is a Doberman, and he's a bigger size for his breed. As a fellow Rover host, it pained me to be rejected by multiple hosts when they stereotyped the breed but not Ellie. She responded very quickly to the meet-and-greet, and Bella was such a sweet and calm girl. Ryder was unique in his own way, just as another mini schnauzer that I take care of. These pups are the perfect combination for Toby. Ellie handled Toby's anxiety very well on the first day, and Toby was completely chilling starting on day 2. Ellie sent countless photos and videos and gave us peace of mind during our hectic trip. Toby got to play fetch in the front, hang out in the backyard, sunbathe and get cozy with others inside the house. Her backyard is double-fenced/gated on all sides, and her house is in a very safe neighborhood. Toby had the best vacation!”
“Annie was the best caregiver for our dog Brandy! We highly recommend her. She pays great attention to detail and care to make sure your pup has the best experience. She anticipated needs for our dog, even going as far as getting a canopy for her backyard when she knew the weather forecast showed extensive rain. She gave us frequent updates (including beautiful photos-she is an excellent photographer!) Our dog loved Annie and her husband; I could tell by the photos of her curled up and getting lots and lots of belly rubs🥰. She was a calm happy pup when we picked her up and I know that is because of Annie’s great care💕”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
“Radhika always does a wonderful job taking care of our pug, Bosco. Radhika watched him for 2.5 weeks and updated me everyday with photos and messages. She even gave him a bath! She is super trustworthy and a great communicator, and Bosco adores her.”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
“Oakley had a nice time with Michael, Shameza and family! Was happy to receive photos and updates of Oakley during his stay. Will definitely book another stay.”

“I felt so much at ease going on our vacation with Caroline watching our fur babies! She took amazing care of our cats and home! One of our cats needs medication and she was great with him! And they arnt the cleanest cats so she was just amazing! The cats loved having her! She had great communication and great photos! I will definitely be calling her for next time!! You can just feel her love for your animals!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!”
About: Your Cat's New Bestie!!! I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. I’ve grown up with cats of all ages—from energetic kittens to senior cats who need extra patience and care. I currently care for two cats of my own, so daily routines like feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and monitoring behavior are second nature to me. I also have experience administering medication and working with skittish or shy cats, taking the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or just keeping their routine consistent. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your sweet fur baby whether that be while you're at work or on a trip. Please rest easy knowing I will give them the best care.
“Dorothy took great care of our 5 cats! They were relaxed, well fed, and happy when we got home! Dorothy had great communication throughout our trip, and even brought in some packages! We highly recommend Dorothy, and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Mackenna was an amazing sitter, she did a great job watching my cats and made me feel relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She communicated well with me and was caring and attentive of my pets. I highly recommend if you are needing a sitter!”
“Sheree was phenomenal!! My cats adored her and her step son. She was attentive, gave great photos/synopses, and went above and beyond. I came home to happy babies who never felt alone. Sheree is my go-to sitter from now on. Thank you so much!!”
“Julia was fantastic! She sent photo updates daily, as well as Rover notifications showing when she arrived and left. When we got home, saw that our cat was very happy and content. Well cared for by Julia. Highly recommend her!!”
“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jackie and her husband did such a wonderful job looking after my cat Norah during the holidays. They made sure she was comfortable since Nori has a shy personality. Jackie kept me updated throughout Nori’s stay and reassured me when I asked questions! Definitely recommend and will be booking with them again!”
“My fur babies loved Tracy so much 🥹 One of my cats is usually a little reserved when meeting new people but she warmed up to Tracy the very first time they met. Tracy has a very calm and welcoming presence, I think any shy cat would feel comfortable around her. I wasn’t worried when I was away because Tracy regularly updated me with photos and videos. Will definitely be booking her the next time I need someone to watch my cats.”
“Taylor is trustworthy, respectful and great with our cats. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She goes out of her way to provide detailed photo and written updates about how our kitties are doing. Thank you Taylor!”
“Hoai was a better sitter than we could have imagined! She took detailed notes about the kittie’s preferences during our meet and greet, and gave us thorough updates during her drop ins. It gave us so much peace of mind, and the kitties were in great spirits. She also left the house and cat bowls spotless, which was the cherry on top!”
“Kaitlyn took exceptional care of our special-needs Ragdoll while we were away. Our cat has asthma and requires multiple medications, including a nebulizer, an inhaler, and pills. Kaitlyn went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring he received all his treatments with care and patience. Not only is she extremely reliable and professional, but she also took great care of our home. When our kitty had a litter box accident and needed a bath, she handled it without hesitation—something not every pet sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she spent more time with him than we even asked, knowing that he doesn’t like to be alone. That extra care and attention meant so much to us. We returned home to a well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Natalie took great care of our cat and home while we were away for two nights. She gave updates with pictures and had good communication and followed instructions. We are grateful that she could watch Alo!”
“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Daniel took great care of our dog, Olive, while we were away. His check ins were punctual and he always sent updates and pictures to let us know she was happy and healthy!”
“Dawn was wonderful! I received daily pictures, and my cat was loving life with his new best friend (did he even miss me while I was gone?!). I will not hesitate to book Dawn again in the future. Thank you!”
“Rose is amazing! She did everything I asked and more! She dropped in on our pets while we were away and made sure to send us lots of photos and even brought our packages in for us as well! Rose is very trustworthy and responsible, she’s also a great communicator and so sweet with our pets! We will definitely hire her for all animal care in the future! 🎊”

“Jonathan was awesome! Our boy Murph is reactive, gets overaroused easily, steals anything he can get his hands on, and generally not super great with strangers (aka REALLY challenging). Jonathan followed our exact directions when first meeting him and Murph ended up loving him. You can definitely tell he has a lot of experience and patience. When we picked Murph up from daycare he seemed happy and calm, not stressed like he normally is at bigger daycares. He got two long walks and made two friends along the way. We look forward to booking with him again!”
“Jaime was great with Sage. Sage can be nervous first meeting people and Jaime was confident Sage would be taken care of and warm up. She sent several update photos and Sage had a great time. I will definitely hire Jaime again ◡̈”
About: I love dogs . Since I was a child I have grown up with pets... I have a nice home with an outside area and would love to care for your dog .. However, . I prefer dogs who are potty trained, neutered, and for male dogs that don’t urinate or “mark” in my home, but will work with your dogs and care for them as my own. Also please NO DROP OFFS before 7:00 am and NO PICKUPS after 9pm, otherwise, that would require another day's booking. No regular doggy daycare business operates 24/7. If you have an early morning flight or late flight, please accommodate accordingly between my hours of operation : 7:00 am to 9 pm. Please be respectful of peoples times and schedules. I do not run a 24/7 doggy daycare. What you will get from me you won’t get at a commercial doggy daycare is that I don’t watch a ton of dogs! Usually 1-2 dogs max at a time. That way your pup is getting personalized attention. I only do this because this is not my main business and enjoy watching a few pets at a time because I like having dogs around me since my lovely Jack Russell died a few years back of old age and I miss having a pet around. I work from home most days so can watch your dog and give the necessary supervision your pet needs! Thanks and look forward to your reply! I look forward to watching your fur baby! Work remote from home most time during weekdays so can accommodate watching your pet during the day and evenings . Will be around your pet often. Fenced area secured gate- dogs can’t escape plus I keep dogs inside my home and near me so they will be very safe with me.
About: Hello, I’m Josie! I love and adore dogs and have been caring for them for over 35 years. I would love to care for your furry family member in my home. I am a retired nurse with a sweet and friendly 10 lb Chihuahua-Yorkie mix named Yumi! I am usually always home all day so I can give your fur baby my full attention and all the care and playtime they need! I have a backyard and plentiful dog toys for them to enjoy to their heart’s content. I also love walking with them along the many gorgeous trails Coto has to offer! Feel free to message me for any questions 😊 I am retired and a homebody so I’ll be able to accommodate all your pup’s needs throughout the day. I have a backyard they can enjoy at their leisure and pee pads if they’re trained to go inside. They are welcome on my bed and sofas as I would allow for my own fur baby. I have a fenced backyard they can enjoy, plus unlimited indoor playtime at home! Meal times and food type will be done to your specifications. I’ll be sure to follow your routines so they are most comfortable.
“Claudia was very kind and responsible with our Golden girl. We are always nervous about leaving her for the first time, but Claudia was very loving and sent photos showing how happy and relaxed she was. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend.”
“Thanks so much, Sondra, for taking such good care of Sumo and Gromit! They slept great last night and they're looking forward to seeing you over the Christmas break!”

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!

“Very nice first visit with Hannah! She is very kind, caring and nice. Our puppy seemed to have a good day. She sends lots of pictures and updates which is great as it's our first time leaving our puppy.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I grew up being the personal dog sitter for everyone in my neighborhood. I’ve taken care of dogs of various ages ranging from new born to elder. I absolutely love animals and promise to take care of your pup with the same amount I give my own. I am a full-time college student. I am free Mondays and Wednesdays after 2pm. Tuesdays after 4. All day Thursdays and Fridays. Free weekends if needed. My dad is always home so if I’m not home there will be someone there to be with the pet if it is being sat at my house. I have a huge park by my house and will take them on frequent walks. When I visit dogs at families houses I make sure the dog is fed, pet, snuggled sufficiently, walked, and has enough water. Any special treatment you’d like me to add I will do. I promise to pamper your loved ones.
“Annie is great I highly recommend her. She graciously took our Max on very short notice due to a mishap with another sitter. Our Max took to her right away and didn’t cry when we left him.”

She's responsive and sends photos of your dog so you can feel at ease while you're away. She has two sweetest girls that are amazing with your dog and Henry loved all the attention he received from them.”

In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I am Animal Care Certified. I can take care of birds, cats, lizards and dogs. I take care of animals daily. I feed and play with them everyday. If I’m needed to help with the pets, I need a full day’s notice for transportation needs. I care for the animals in my household by having set feeding times and lots of cuddles. With the dogs, I make sure we get lots of playtime.
“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”
“Eve is great! She was on time and handled Cheetos very well. Cheetos is a very fearful and very afraid of strangers. Eve calmed her down and won her trust with some bribery. It's so great to have a perfect dog walker/sitter nearby! Thank you Eve!”
About: I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2011. I’ve been an rvt for 7 years and love what i do. I’ve been in an animal hospital for over 10 years I work full time with a toddler but looking to fill some days on the side to help a family take care of there pets I take care of them as if they are my own. Respect everyone how they should be treated with love and compassion. I am loyal I work full time in the veterinary field but need some extra pay to help pay for childcare have experience with all dogs and cats Since i have a dog that’s picky with other dogs i would prefer to sit in your home unless my dog was comfortable with it she has stayed before at my parents house with their dogs I have an open work schedule, therefore daily visits and weekend visits are what I offer! I can do overnight visits if necessary, if your animal requires someone to stay at night. I currently can’t take pets in my own home. I can stay overnight in your home if needed. This will include play time and giving them all the extra love while you are away! Walk, feed, sleep repeat .she loves walks and sniffing everything. She will pee multiple times as she is older and needs more frequent walks so less accidents happen I have a small patio and lots of yard space to walk my dog. She goes out plenty of times during the day and just loves being with someone or anybody who gives attention
“Laura took good care of our Coco while we were away for a week - walked and played with her, gave her food and medicine, also willing to get our mail and kept us up to date. Felt like our girl was in good hands!!”
“We’ve been so grateful to have Hanna walking our dogs, Ellie and Coco! She’s been incredibly reliable and always responsive to messages, which gives us such peace of mind. Hanna shares the sweetest photos from their walks, and it’s clear our pups adore their time with her. The best part is knowing that Ellie and Coco are in such good hands — we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”
“So grateful for Caroline! We had a last minute out of town thing for the day and she was able to come care for our boys. I know they had a great time with her, especially from the pics :)”
“Susan is absolutely wonderful! My dog liked her instantly when she came by for a meet and greet and I knew that was a great sign. She took good care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure she got a good walk. I highly recommend Susan for anyone who’s looking for reliable and loving care for their pet!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats for 5 years and also have my own cat! I’ve also grown up with them since I was 11 so feel very comfortable providing a safe fun environment for them. Im currently looking for full time work and teaching dance part time. I’d like to add this to my current work which is flexible during the week and overnight if needed. I can work with your home set up. I won’t be able to host pets in my home due to living with my grandfather who has a particular household he’d like to maintain. I have no kids so there’s no problem with having a flexible schedule to come to your home.
“Kristie is outstanding! She was extremely patient with my reactive and fearful dog, spent a lot of time getting to know her, and make her feel safe and comfortable. She has obviously a lot of experience handling dogs and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I can only remember life with a dog in it, my family has always had one since the day I was born. I am an active runner and walker so love getting outdoors with my family dog and friends dogs. My schedule changes weekly, but I am flexible depending on the week. I can walk mornings, afternoons, or in the evenings Monday-Friday and some weekends. I care by feeding my dog, walking my dog, taking him to the dog park, on trails, and running errands. I would like to take the dogs for a walk or exercise and return them to their home.

“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! BEST BOARDER EVER! We are so lucky to have found him! He took amazing care of our dog Kona and she has issues with other dogs, but he handled it perfectly and she trusted him fully. He is kind, calm patient and definitely has a special way with dogs. Such a kind hearted loving person! Kona came back so happy n healthy and No “recovery time from boarding” like we have had in past. She was better than ever! Cannot recommend him enough. He sent Daily videos and or pictures and a description of how she was doing physically emotionally and how she was doing with other dogs (her main issue). So so impressed by him!!”
“This was my first time using rover I was a little nervous but I had an amazing experience and Sondra and Kirk were so nice and accommodating when I was running late and leia had a great stay and got updated with photos throughout the day! Thank you can’t wait for leia to stay again!”
“Saeedeh is second mommy to my Shi tzu, Taddy. Taddy is so attached to me, and has detach anxiety. He gets anxious and scared if we leave him somewhere even with his dr. He stayed with Saeede for entire week, when we were away and he was so happy when we picked him up. Saeedeh even took him for a visit with my mom so he feels safe. He was loved and being taking care of. I absolutely recommend Saeedeh to all my friends and family. Now I am relieved that Taddy has a second home, when needed.”
“My fiance and I were so grateful to have found Ellie to watch Toby! Toby is a Doberman, and he's a bigger size for his breed. As a fellow Rover host, it pained me to be rejected by multiple hosts when they stereotyped the breed but not Ellie. She responded very quickly to the meet-and-greet, and Bella was such a sweet and calm girl. Ryder was unique in his own way, just as another mini schnauzer that I take care of. These pups are the perfect combination for Toby. Ellie handled Toby's anxiety very well on the first day, and Toby was completely chilling starting on day 2. Ellie sent countless photos and videos and gave us peace of mind during our hectic trip. Toby got to play fetch in the front, hang out in the backyard, sunbathe and get cozy with others inside the house. Her backyard is double-fenced/gated on all sides, and her house is in a very safe neighborhood. Toby had the best vacation!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
“Radhika always does a wonderful job taking care of our pug, Bosco. Radhika watched him for 2.5 weeks and updated me everyday with photos and messages. She even gave him a bath! She is super trustworthy and a great communicator, and Bosco adores her.”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“I felt completely at ease leaving Maaska for her overnight stay—I truly didn’t have to worry at all because I knew she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she received. She got to enjoy being in a home with a yard and even play with other dogs, which made the experience extra special. Honestly, it felt like the best sleepover of her life! I would absolutely leave her again and highly recommend her care.”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“This was our first time leaving Cali with anyone except family, and Susan was the perfect choice. She sent updates with photos to reassure us and was in tune with Cali's personality and needs. Susan will be our go to Rover sitter when family isn't available. I highly recommend her!”
“No wonder Wen has a five star rating. She is amazing with providing updates. Communication letting me know how Aldo is doing throughout the day. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent me when they went on their walks! She’s absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”
“Nick was extremely easy to work with. Payed attention to detailed even taught our dog new tricks. Was very informative while we were away on vacation by sending updates and pictures. Would highly recommend him as a dog sitter / or a doggy vacation. My dog has a lot of fun. Thank you Nick!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I grew up being the personal dog sitter for everyone in my neighborhood. I’ve taken care of dogs of various ages ranging from new born to elder. I absolutely love animals and promise to take care of your pup with the same amount I give my own. I am a full-time college student. I am free Mondays and Wednesdays after 2pm. Tuesdays after 4. All day Thursdays and Fridays. Free weekends if needed. My dad is always home so if I’m not home there will be someone there to be with the pet if it is being sat at my house. I have a huge park by my house and will take them on frequent walks. When I visit dogs at families houses I make sure the dog is fed, pet, snuggled sufficiently, walked, and has enough water. Any special treatment you’d like me to add I will do. I promise to pamper your loved ones.
