“Another 5 star experience with Wen! She kindly accepted my booking on such short notice. She went above and beyond cleaning my dog’s wound that had occurred the night before and I had no time to visit the vet yet. She is our go to sitter. Amazing as always!”
“Emely was able to accommodate us last-minute and was quick to respond, provided multiple updates, and was so sweet with our dog. We know Penny had an absolute blast and already have plans to book Emely again!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“Neha provided a safe and caring environment for Nikka's first stay. She is caring and understanding to nature of dogs. She was exceptional in communications and keeping me up to date of Nikka during his stay. She was attentative and accommodating with Nikkas food as we had to adjust slightly during his stay. We appreciate all the accommodations she took. Neha has a sweet loving slightly shy dog called Hatchi who was happy to share his space with Nikka. They loved playing in the backyard with plenty of space to run around freely. We look forward to using Neha again in the future.”
“This is the first time I've used Gina for my dog and she made him feel comfortable and cared for during his overnight stay. He liked playing with her sweet dog too! I have already booked another daytime sitting with them. Yay!”
“May (Homeira) was absolutely wonderful with Shadow, especially on New Year’s Eve. From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he was genuinely loved and well cared for. Shadow had the freedom to enjoy her beautiful garden and felt comfortable and at home in her space, which means everything to me as a dog parent. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for with warmth, patience, and attention. I’m incredibly thankful for May and would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Thuy took great care of my dog and I'm very happy to choose her for watching my dog. She was very accommodating and responsive to messages. Photos provide of my dog while she was was there were great to see. My dog is very shy and Thuy was great with being patient and caring.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Milo! While we were away for three days, Cie made us feel completely at ease with regular updates, photos, and videos. It was such a relief knowing Milo was not only well cared for, but also genuinely enjoying himself. She worked her magic to help Milo get along beautifully with Hari and Megan, which made the whole experience even more special. She also shared some helpful tips and recommendations for leash pulling and other little concerns she noticed. I highly recommend Cie and will definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“Elmira loves pets and took very good care of Ruby, and sent me lots of videos and photos of her while I was away, which was much appreciated, letting me see how Ruby was doing. She is very interested in learning what your pets are used to and trying to provide that, and is very responsive to any comments or concerns.”
“She was a fantastic host and Atticus just loved her not only was she extremely good with him but I feel like she went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Zhenni and her family are very friendly. They genuinely love dogs and take time to play with them. She sent me pictures & reports daily and ensure me the dogs are happy and healthy. Zhenni’s house is big and there are plenty of walkable parks around the neighborhood, which is always a plus!”
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!
“Jie took great care of our dog. Jie was very prompt with replies and took plenty of photos of our dog’s stay. We didn’t have to worry about our dog one bit. Will definitely book again.”

“Amanda was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Addy, while we were out of town! She was extremely reliable, always sending detailed updates and photos after every visit.

We especially appreciated how she handled her wet food, playing with her, and a last minute home trash request. Highly recommend her for peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and truly believe they’re family members. Growing up, I cared for two cats, including Sophie, who needed daily insulin injections until she recovered. Today, I’m a proud cat parent myself, and I know every cat has a unique personality. I’m attentive, patient, and intuitive, and I’ll care for your cat with the same love and respect I give my own.
“We left Oelun in charge of our kitties while we were out of town for a week and she did a stellar job! Great communication, friendly and easygoing, punctual, responsible and organized. And I got the sense that our cats were happy with the service, too. Thanks Oelun!”
“Bradey took such wonderful care of my two kitties. Even c Gave extra love, sometimes space, treats and empathy to my asthmatic girl who likes to be difficult with her inhaler. She was on top of all of her tasks with them. I know I can rely on her.”
“Our Atticus kitty is so shy and loves to hide from people. But when David came over for the meet and greet, Atticus immediately came out and flopped over and begged him for pets. That’s when we knew we could trust David with our precious kitty. David came over for three visits, on time, fed Atticus, gave him treats and loves, scooped his box, cleaned his puke (😬), and sent us a whole collection of photos for each visit. It was clear from the photos that Atticus loved him and David was taking great care of him. We will absolutely be booking David again!”

I am highly observant, patient, and will meticulously follow your specific instructions for feeding, litter box maintenance, and interacting with your cat, ensuring they feel completely safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 I've spent over six years working professionally with animals in both veterinary hospitals and pet care facilities, so caring for pets isn't just something I enjoy, it's what I've built my career around. I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital and Wagly Pet Campus, where I gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. My background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, pet safety, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive interactions are, and I always treat every pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. In 2023, I lost my beloved cat to heart disease. He was my best friend, and losing him reminded me just how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. While nothing could ever replace him, caring for other animals has been incredibly healing for me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and being able to give them affection, exercise, and companionship is one of the most rewarding parts of my day. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always treat your dog like family, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's personality and energy level. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or just wants a caring companion while you're away, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a work-from-home mom and I schedule walks during the quiet parts of my day. I enjoy walking and being outside, and it’s so much better with a furry friend. I don’t plan to board any animals at this time in my home. This may change in the future, but not as of right now.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I currently have two senior pugs, ages 16 and 13, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that older dogs often require. Through my volunteer work with Pug Rescue of Korea, I have fostered more than 10 dogs, including senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog. I've also fostered five puppies and understand the extra supervision, structure, and positive reinforcement that young dogs need. One thing adopters and rescue coordinators consistently appreciate about me is my communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents always know how their dog is doing. An adopter once described me as "extraordinarily communicative" and said the updates helped make her dog's transition into its new home seamless. I treat every dog as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra attention and companionship, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. As a small business owner, I manage my own hours and have the availability to provide reliable walks and check-ins throughout the week. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I care for my two senior pugs and continue to volunteer and foster through rescue organizations for several years. I enjoy spending time with dogs, getting outside, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday and look forward to getting to know your pet. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. As a dog owner, foster volunteer, and rescue volunteer, I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and pay close attention to leash safety, hydration, and each dog's comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and walking paces. I also respect my clients' homes and strive to be dependable, professional, and attentive. I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.

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!
“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”

“Another 5 star experience with Wen! She kindly accepted my booking on such short notice. She went above and beyond cleaning my dog’s wound that had occurred the night before and I had no time to visit the vet yet. She is our go to sitter. Amazing as always!”
“Emely was able to accommodate us last-minute and was quick to respond, provided multiple updates, and was so sweet with our dog. We know Penny had an absolute blast and already have plans to book Emely again!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“This is the first time I've used Gina for my dog and she made him feel comfortable and cared for during his overnight stay. He liked playing with her sweet dog too! I have already booked another daytime sitting with them. Yay!”
“Thuy took great care of my dog and I'm very happy to choose her for watching my dog. She was very accommodating and responsive to messages. Photos provide of my dog while she was was there were great to see. My dog is very shy and Thuy was great with being patient and caring.”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“She was a fantastic host and Atticus just loved her not only was she extremely good with him but I feel like she went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
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!
“Jie took great care of our dog. Jie was very prompt with replies and took plenty of photos of our dog’s stay. We didn’t have to worry about our dog one bit. Will definitely book again.”
“Moose had a great time with Wendy! She took full advantage of the big backyard and the chance to play with Stevie! I also appreciated the frequent updates via pictures and videos. One of our best experiences on Rover!”
“Rommel and his family were exceptional sitters to Stormy. He was immediately responsive, sent updated photos throughout the week, and catered to my older dog’s dietary needs. 10/10 recommend”
“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!”
“Pili was really great! From taking great care of our dogs, to being flexible with timing, to communicating and sending tons of pictures, everything was awesome. I would highly recommend Pili if you ever need someone to watch your pups!”
“Megan was awesome! We’ve never used a Rover at all before and she put us completely at ease. She watched our dog over Christmas, communicated very well, and even gave our pup a bath. 🥹 would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Absolutely excellent care for our 2 malteses for a 9 day stay! One dog has special medication needs and was taken care of perfectly the entire time. Shuang is exceptionally caring, sent pictures multiple times per day, and the dogs really loved their stay. Highly recommend and will definitely book again for all future boarding!”
“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”
