“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. 🥰”

“Tucker loves going to Suman’s house! We get updates and pictures the whole time he’s there. There is great communication back and forth and she always responds quickly. She is very understanding and was able to get him in on short notice for us! Highly recommend❤️”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“We have used Patricia several times and she always provides the best service! She treats our dog, Penelope, like her own and shares lots of updates (photos & videos). Penelope loves her time with Patty and her dog, which leaves us at ease when we travel.”

“I made a good choice leaving my 5 year old cat in her care. She communicated very well prior to taking my cat to her house. She updated me with videos and messages of how he was doing day by day. She made sure he was comfortable during his stayed. I really liked he had his own space (room) without any other pets. All I can say she did a great job caring for my baby and I could tell in the videos he was doing very well day by day. I truly recommend her,Thanks!”
“Wen is a wonderful pet boarder. She is kind, patient, and genuinely loving. Her home is clean and welcoming, and she handled my dog with great care, even when he was nervous and barking. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“Jordana saved my Yosemite trip! I booked her last minute and she was soooo accommodating and friendly. Milou has a skin issues due to allergies, and she was very understanding of what he had to eat. Definitely recommend her!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“1000000% would recommend anyone to Gina! Gina was truly exceptional and wanted to know everything about Penny to provide her the best care possible. She was in constant contact with us and provided many daily pictures and videos. It made us feel at ease that Penny was well cared for while we were away. Thank you so much Gina, Daniel and Daisy! We’ll see you soon ;)”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have a history of aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet and greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“Kingston loved his stay once again at Tami’s. Her and her husband enjoy taking care of Kingston and they keep me updated on how he is doing with pictures and videos. Thank you again Tami!”

About: When people ask if I am a cat or a dog person, I usually don’t have an answer. I love both! I know cats need their space and I am very attentive to the subtle ways they express their boundaries. People say they don’t love like dogs, but they absolutely do!

“Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱”

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!

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

If they come to my home, they will always have a friend to play with since I have 2 dogs myself 🙂

“Brian is an amazing and caring person. We could not wish for a better person for taking care of our dog "Mia" when we would travel. Not only Brian but also his entire family (his lovely wife and the two beautiful children) have unconditional love to all pets with a lot of positive energy. Brian is not only knowledgeable but also does a lot of outdoor activities with dogs including 2 times daily walks while sharing pictures and updates clients with pets' well being.

About: Hi! I’m Julie, a lifelong dog lover who understands that pets are family. I’ve cared for my own dogs and know how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and on their normal routine. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing together, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I currently work full time but with a hybrid schedule and open weekends. I am pretty free when I work from home to walk every hour if need be. I have a fenced yard and whole house so there is no need to worry about other neighbors or outside dogs. They will be safe with their own boundary!
“BEST Dog Walker I’ve ever worked with- hands (paws) down! Ilana is organized and dependable. She got my little dog to trust and love her which in itself is a miracle. My neighbors told me how impressed they were that Ilana was walking the dogs without headphones to pay attention and steer clear of other dog interactions because they were new dogs for her. She’s caring, smart and also takes great pictures. We all love her and will continue to use her.”
About: Hi! I'm Debbie, and caring for animals has been my passion for most of my life. I began volunteering at a veterinary hospital as a teenager and was hired at just 16 years old. I pursued veterinary technology, passed the California Registered Veterinary Technician state board examination in 2011, and have spent nearly two decades working in small animal veterinary medicine. While I no longer maintain an active RVT license, I continue working in the veterinary field and use the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years every day. My background includes caring for puppies and kittens, healthy adult pets, senior pets, and animals with chronic medical conditions. I'm experienced with administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, injections, sub-q fluids, topical treatments, and providing attentive care to pets that need a little extra support. Animals have always been a huge part of my life beyond my career. I'm a proud Mom, wife, dog owner and chicken keeper, and I also have experience caring for parrots and other companion birds. I enjoy grooming my own dogs and have experience with routine grooming, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, and styling. In addition to companion animals, I'm comfortable caring for backyard flocks and many ranch and farm animals, understanding that each species has its own unique routines and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I strive to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry (and feathered!) family members are in caring, experienced hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, medication, companionship, or care for your backyard flock or small farm, I'd be honored to care for them as if they were my own. Between being a Mom to older children/wife/part-time vet tech, my schedule allows me to fit in jobs to care for other's pets while they are going out of town for the day or longer. I will honor and follow your instructions to care for your pets as you wish. I also am big on sending pics via text with pupdates and for you to see that all is well.

About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs almost my entire life. I got my first dog when I was 12 and from there on out I have always had at least one. I have always pet sit for family and friends when needed and now I’m looking forward to expanding my services to others. I live in a home and have a fenced in yard. I am used to giving medications if needed and can also care for senior dogs (I have one myself!) I have 2 dogs as of now so your dog will always have someone to play with 😊 I work from home so I am home nearly all day unless I have an errand to run I work from home so I am always home! I also have a backyard where they can run around whenever they want. I usually leave the door cracked for easy in/out access and I have a fully fenced in yard I have a fenced in yard and do frequent potty breaks! If your dog is crate trained I can keep them on whatever schedule they are used to at home. Throughout the years I’ve had to administer my fair share of medication so if your dog needs any medication I would be more than happy to administer! If they come to my home, they will always have a friend to play with since I have 2 dogs myself 🙂

Thank you! 😊 🐶 Meet & Greet: A required step before your first reservation with me. I want to make sure we are a good fit! Best of all, all meet and greets are FREE! I would love to meet your pet so let’s set one up! During our meet-and-greet, I’ll gather details to create a personalized profile for your dog, including their daily routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’ll rely on these notes to make sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for when they are with me. If you decide to book, I’ll just ask for your dog’s most recent vaccination records and flea prevention info. This helps ensure all pups under my care are up to date. I’ll also provide a standard pet care waiver. This is a simple, common form used by all boarding and pet care providers. ✨ Reservations Each stay is carefully planned to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for you and your pup(s). Please refer to Rover’s cancellation policy for non-holiday and holiday stays if needed. 🎒 What to Bring for a Cozy & Happy Stay To help your pup feel completely at home, we recommend bringing a few familiar comforts: • Food (please provide pre-portioned meals if your pup has specific feeding preferences) • Favorite treats • Leash, collar, or harness • Crate (if preferred for sleeping or comfort) • A familiar blanket or bed with your scent • Brush or grooming essentials • Pee pads (if needed)• Diapers (if needed) ✨ What’s Included During Their Stay Your pup’s comfort and happiness are our top priorities. Every stay includes: • Fresh food & water bowls • Cozy dog bed • Treats (please let us know about any allergies or dietary restrictions) • Toys • Pup wipes • Poop bags Together, these comforts create a warm and reassuring environment where your pup can feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home. 🐶 As a full-time Rover service provider, I start each morning with potty break for the pups followed by breakfast. Throughout the day, dogs are supervised and let out into the backyard every 2–3 hours for potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air. I love providing lots of love and attention through backyard playtime, calm indoor and outdoor activities, head scratches, and belly rubs. Mealtimes are always kept consistent with your dog’s regular routine. I’m home most of the day and only step out occasionally for Rover walks, drop-in visits, or quick errands. During those times, dogs at home are supervised by my husband. Evenings are all about winding down with a walk to the park, dinner, final potty breaks, and calm relaxation before settling in comfortably for the night. You’ll receive photo and video updates each day, so you never miss a moment of your pup’s stay. 😊 Group Size & Temperaments It’s always nice to make new friends! I keep boarding and daycare groups small, usually four dogs or fewer at a time. Each group is thoughtfully booked based on size, energy level, and personality to provided a positive experience for everyone. It’s a wonderful way for your pup to meet new friends in a calm, supervised environment. 🛡️ Safety First Your pup’s safety is my top priority. I ’m trained in American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid. I’ve also completed my hands on trading and received my Pet Tech CPR & First Aid Certification, 2026 All walks are always leashed, we avoid interactions with other dogs, and our home is fully secured with locked gates, a two-layer front door, and in/outdoor security. Backyard play, sun bathing and potty breaks are always supervised.
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
About: I have had a dog for many years but she passed 3 years ago and since then I have kept neighbors and families dogs and at one time had 5 chis for nine days! I love them so much I am free most days and some weekends for overnight care also just walking. But . I always take them for walks at least 3 times a daywould want them brought to my house I do have pet insursnce but so very careful when I walk them always very close to me! always wash their paws after a walk!
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was a little girl and have always treated them with the love and respect that they deserve. I’ve raised a puppy of my own during COVID which was humbling but extremely rewarding as he is truly the best boy and now my best friend. I’ve been around dogs of all ages all my life and understand that each dog is different, each with their own personality, just like us humans. I have the patience it takes to understand dogs and know that it’s not always easy for them to express themselves, body language being a huge thing I look at. Owning an orange tabbycat of my own, I also have experience with understanding a cat’s needs and although they can be more skiddish, they seek and deserve just as much care and attention. I hope I have the opportunity to help you to take care of your pet in whatever way I can, and trust that they are under my safe and full supervision. I’m currently working full time but am available and eager to help you with your pets on afternoons, nights and weekends. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m happy to help. I live in Lake Forest and work full time in Mission Viejo, so I am willing to go anywhere in the South OC area to care for your fur babies! I have a small dog and cat of my own at home, so I can understand how much caution goes into owning and taking care of a pet. My priority is making pets feel comfortable and safe in a place where they can both have fun and relax, because we all deserve to feel that peace at home. As a pet parent, I always check that risky items are stored away so that there’s less room for error, that there’s always access to food and water (unless instructed otherwise of course!) and that fun toys are in reach!

About: Hello pet lovers! I have been taking care of pets past 15 years. Dogs, cats or bunnies I had them all:). I lost my Sonny dog couple years ago who was on my 15 year journey every single day. He had the best dog life by hanging out with other dogs all day long or keeping a company to our dog visitors. I live in a home with fenced green backyard which is the best place for your sweet pets to relax in. Don’t be afraid to leave you pet in my hands. A small treat, a little bit of gentle petting, and a nice walk in a park and your pet is my best friend forever. Dog walking or dog sitting I love it all!!!!

“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. 🥰”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Lee was absolutely wonderful!! Our pup had the best time, was so well taken care of and we got wonderful updates throughout our trip. We felt so lucky to have Lee watch Griffin and never had to worry about him. Would highly recommend Lee!! Thank you Lee for taking such great care of our pup!!”
“Wen is a wonderful pet boarder. She is kind, patient, and genuinely loving. Her home is clean and welcoming, and she handled my dog with great care, even when he was nervous and barking. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“Jordana saved my Yosemite trip! I booked her last minute and she was soooo accommodating and friendly. Milou has a skin issues due to allergies, and she was very understanding of what he had to eat. Definitely recommend her!”
“1000000% would recommend anyone to Gina! Gina was truly exceptional and wanted to know everything about Penny to provide her the best care possible. She was in constant contact with us and provided many daily pictures and videos. It made us feel at ease that Penny was well cared for while we were away. Thank you so much Gina, Daniel and Daisy! We’ll see you soon ;)”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have a history of aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet and greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.

“Doug, thank you so much for taking Maximus into your loving home. I was at ease knowing that Maximus is with you. Maximus was well taken care by Doug. After two days, Maximus came back home happier and I would have Doug as my sitter again.”
“Very nice family and house! Perfect place to leave your dog for the day. They also have a very sweet small dog of their own who made friends with my dog. 😁 Received video updates during the day of walking our dog and playing with her. Looking forward to the next visit!”
“Radhika is great! We boarded our anxious dog with her for four days and they had a wonderful time. She is very responsive and gives consistent and frequent updates. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Julie, a lifelong dog lover who understands that pets are family. I’ve cared for my own dogs and know how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and on their normal routine. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing together, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I currently work full time but with a hybrid schedule and open weekends. I am pretty free when I work from home to walk every hour if need be. I have a fenced yard and whole house so there is no need to worry about other neighbors or outside dogs. They will be safe with their own boundary!
“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!”
“Rommel took care of my big pup. He made sure she was comfortable and sent lots of photos so I can be reassured. I am a repeat customer and I really trust him and his family.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend allowing Mengmeng & Pengyu Q to care for your dog while you’re away from home. She went above and beyond taking care of my sweet girl Tina while we went away on vacation. I received daily photos and videos and updates on how my girl was doing while I was away. She even took the extra step of grooming her and trimming her nails!! I’m so grateful to them for taking extra special care of Tina and felt super confident and comfortable that she was in excellent hands while I was away! We will definitely be using them again if we go on another vacation in the future!!”
“Temi was AMAZING! This was the longest I had left my pup and I was nervous. Temi took such great care of her, sent me pics and even took her out and about and on a hike! So grateful!”
