“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.”
“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“I felt like my pup was really well taken care of! She was walked frequently and came home happy and tired — always the best sign that she got plenty of attention and activity. They even sent her home with a little toy, which was such a sweet touch. I also loved all the videos and photos they sent throughout her stay. It gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“Hanna was absolutely amazing during my pup’s month long stay! 🐾 She was incredibly communicative, always keeping me updated with photos, videos, and sweet little notes that instantly put me at ease. Her kindness and flexibility truly stood out, she went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and right at home. From accommodating schedule changes to adding thoughtful touches that made all the difference, Hanna exceeded every expectation. I can’t thank her enough for the care and attention she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your fur baby like family! 🌟”
“Our dogs were so well taken care of by Claudia while we were away. She was great with giving daily updates and photos throughout their stay. Not only did she do their daily walks but she also brought them to the park for playtime and socialization. We will definitely keep Claudia in mind the next time we need quality care for our dogs.”
“Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Oakley had a fun 11-nt stay with Michael and Shameza! This is the longest we've left Oakley and he was well taken care of with lots of attn from Micahel , Shameza , their adorable kids and furry friend Shaggy!”
“Annie was AWESOME!!! She did a Great Job. Luigi loved her! Annie is very conscientious, and professional! She is a great communicator. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care! I highly recommend her!”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“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!”
“Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.”

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.
“Tracy was very reliable and respectful. She followed all instructions perfectly, would highly recommend her. Going forward she’ll be our go to pet sitter, plus our cat loved her.”
About: I’ve worked at Wags and Wiggles daycare/boarding and cared for my own dog through her seniorhood. I’ve puppy sat for lots of friends and family members as well as having Dog Dates when those same people just need a moment! I’m a part-time and gig worker so I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and care they deserve! Additionally, I work from home often enabling me to be hands on and attentive to all specific pet needs. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to YOUR dogs needs. I live right next door to a dog park and incorporate long walks into my every day, making me compatible with a more social dog. I also spend a lot of time at home reading and writing, making me great for cuddlebugs and lower energy dogs!
“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!!”
About: Hi! My name is Gayane, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home with two wonderful rescue cats, and throughout my life I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience fostering, rehabilitating, and helping homeless and abandoned animals find safe and loving homes. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“Dorothy has been such a great cat sitter for our anxious and high effort cats! She was able to feed one of our cats medicine every night and we appreciate her so much!”
About: I have a genuine love for cats and understand that each one has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, whether a cat is social and affectionate or shy and independent. I prioritize keeping their environment clean and calm, including thorough litter box care, fresh food and water, and maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits, so you can feel confident your cat is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jacqueline took such wonderful care of my kitty. I’m very protective of him and always feel anxious leaving him, but she made me feel completely at ease. She consistently sent updates and truly made sure he was safe, comfortable, and well loved. I always knew he was in great hands. Jacqueline and her husband were incredibly kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent pet care.”
“Dawn took great care of my young, playful cat while I was on vacation. Loved seeing her updates and my kitty baby was in great care and took well to her. The experience gave me peace of mind and I will definitely request her again when I'm out of town!”
“First time working with Emma and definitely not the last time. The cats approve! On time, which is crucial with the medication and very caring for both the cats and our piece of mind.”
“Kristie has watched our doggies a few times and she has been wonderful to both our Bob and Roxy. We have a very anxious older dog and she has been so patient with her. She is always on time and provides regular updates/pictures which makes me feel at ease. She always makes sure that our dogs are calm before she leaves them at the end of her dog sit. We appreciate her so much.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I grew up caring for dogs and have two of my own, Ruby and Hazel, who taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding different personalities. Because of them, I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to managing feeding schedules, giving plenty of playtime, and keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m used to working with both puppies and older dogs who may need a little extra support. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and habits so owners feel confident that their pets are understood and cared for. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. I always keep owners updated, share photos, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my two dogs, Ruby and Hazel. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them lots of attention throughout the day. Adding walks or drop-ins fits naturally into my schedule, and I make sure I have enough time set aside so every dog gets proper care without feeling rushed. On a weekly basis, I plan around the pets I’m responsible for, whether that means regular walks, check-ins, or longer stays. I’m consistent, reliable, and comfortable building a routine that keeps each dog happy and supported. When I’m caring for pets in my home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and safe. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel at ease. I keep a clean space, monitor them closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection, just like Ruby and Hazel do every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect the owner’s rules and the dog’s normal routine. I make sure feeding times, walk schedules, and any training habits stay consistent. I give regular updates, and make sure the dog feels secure in a familiar environment. My goal in both settings is to keep each pet happy, calm, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

“My dog had such a wonderful time at Jamie’s! Jamie was incredibly communicative and flexible with drop off/pick up and sent awesome pics throughout the stay. Rocky got to do so many activities and played great with Jamie’s dog. We’ll be back!”
“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.”

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.

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: I grew up with a dog and have a wonderful Golden Retriever neutered female at home. She is the sweetest and loves every person and pet.

I am working full time from home and have the sweetest Golden Retriever at home who can't wait to have a play date with a new friend. I have a fenced backyard with artificial turf.

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.

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.”
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!

“This was my dog Oivia's first roadside walk with anyone other than her family. My pup is 20 months old, big, and obsessed with trying to chase passing cars so I was hesitant to put her on the end of a leash for anyone else, but Kayla was calm and friendly to the point where we ALL felt comfortable, even the dog. Kayla is amazing. I highly recommend.”
“Taylor was so great with June. Being an overprotective pet parent, we were looking for a great fit. Taylor exceeds our expectations and we are grateful. We have full faith and trust in Taylor. Thank you, Taylor!”

My schedule is really flexible, you can call me. It will be a pleasure to help you take care of your best friend. We will have a good time together.

“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!!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m a recent magna cum laude graduate of Oregon State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a focus in Crime & Justice, along with minors in Criminology and Political Science. During nearly three years of college, I worked at a coffee shop located inside OSU’s veterinary hospital, which was such a unique and rewarding experience. I loved being surrounded by animals every day and interacting with students and staff who shared that same passion. I learned a lot about animal safety, got plenty of time with pups, and was always happy to hand out a free pup cup (when diet-approved, of course!). My love for dogs started very early. I grew up with my rescue dog Bruce, a Black Lab/Chow mix, from the time I was six years old and he was a pup until he passed at 15 and a half years old last May. He was truly my best friend and a huge part of my life—I spent years walking him, playing fetch, and caring for him full-time. In 2022, my family adopted another rescue, Phoebe, who came from a traumatic background and needed a lot of patience, structure, and care. I was heavily involved in her training process—from potty training and leash work to helping her adjust to a safe, loving home. It was a learning experience that required consistency and compassion, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch her grow into the calm, happy, and well-behaved dog she is today. She now loves walks, hikes, and being around people and other dogs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I frequently volunteered with and donated to a local humane society in Corvallis during college. Through their “Doggy Day Out” program, I would take shelter dogs out for the day—whether that meant walks at the park, pup cups, or simply relaxing at home with plenty of cuddles. I always tailored each outing to the dog’s energy level, age, and personality, making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved outside of the shelter environment. I’ve also cared for dogs outside my home, including helping raise and train a puppy for a close friend—handling walks, feeding, drop-ins, and daily routines while building good habits from the start. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently home for the summer in San Clemente and Rancho Santa Margarita through July 28, and will return again starting September 1. During these times, I have full availability and a very flexible schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all routines—feeding, walks, medications, and preferences—so your dog feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, especially with dogs who may be anxious or still adjusting. I take precautions on walks, keep environments secure, and always prioritize safety. I also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and communication so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Jacob has done a great job handling my two large, energetic pups. He went the extra mile by reaching out that they were running low on food and offered to help make sure they were taken care of.”
“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 :)”
“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!”

“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“Hanna was absolutely amazing during my pup’s month long stay! 🐾 She was incredibly communicative, always keeping me updated with photos, videos, and sweet little notes that instantly put me at ease. Her kindness and flexibility truly stood out, she went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and right at home. From accommodating schedule changes to adding thoughtful touches that made all the difference, Hanna exceeded every expectation. I can’t thank her enough for the care and attention she provided. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your fur baby like family! 🌟”
“Our dogs were so well taken care of by Claudia while we were away. She was great with giving daily updates and photos throughout their stay. Not only did she do their daily walks but she also brought them to the park for playtime and socialization. We will definitely keep Claudia in mind the next time we need quality care for our dogs.”
“Anu has checked in on my dog multiple times to feed him and take him on walks. She is always very detailed in her updates on how he is doing and he loves her visits! I had a last minute change and needed someone to watch my dog for two nights. She didn’t hesitate to take him into her home and took such great care of him. She sent updates and photos of long walks they went on and how he was getting along. My dog can be very anxious in certain situations, but he was so comfortable with her and at her home! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Chalie enjoyed his staycation with the Thu and family. We received good communication and pictures throughout his stay. They were even flexible as we ran a bit late on pickup.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We are so grateful to have found Sondra and Kirk to care for our dog. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing he was in good hands. They treated our dog like a member of their family. They are thoughtful, kind, and easygoing, and made the whole process stress-free.”
“Wen and her family are so sweet~~~ my dog Yoshi was very well taken care while we were away for a short trip. He received much love and care during his stay. He was clean, happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Wen has been very responsive, nice, and accessible. She kept us posted of Yoshi’s daily activities including potty time😊we really appreciate all the images Wen shared with us, not just because we want to see how is our anxious dog doing, but also because those photos are really high quality! Always beautiful colors and nice composition ^^. She did such a great job and made us feel reassured during the trip. I would recommend her service and reach out again if need help in the future!❤️❤️”
“Jacqueline and her family were great hosts! We could tell our dog had a great time there and was very well taken care of. We appreciated getting lots of updates and pictures and Jacqueline helped make the whole process smooth and easy.”
“Absolutely love Ms. Homeria!! She took my pitbull puppy super late notice, sent me pictures of her all throughout the day to show me how she’s doing. Pretty sure my puppy loved her because I know I did. One of the best puppy sitters around, she really enjoys taking care of them. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Ms. Homeria!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“Our dog was well cared for and loved while our family was overseas for 2 long weeks. I never worried about his being in great hands. I will definitely use Michael’s services anytime we are out of town. Thank you Michael!”
