“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Marby and her family was the best sitters my dog could have. I was very nervous at first as it was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I couldn’t be happier it was with Marby. They were very kind and open to my dogs needs and qualities. They were very attentive with my pup, they gave me daily updates with lots of pictures which I appreciated and excited for! Throughout my dogs stay, they responded quickly with any updates, and with every picture my pup looked so happy with Mamba too! With them I was at ease. I’m glad my dog was able to with them! Thank you guys so much :)”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“Yvie took great care of our Maggie. We will be having some play dates soon. She was more than willing to send pictures and message with us. We had never left Mags with a Rover sitter. We are so thankful she was safe with Yvie.”
“This was our first overnight stay we booked for Bruce through Rover. He has never really been away from us since we brought him home at just 5 weeks old, and now at a year and 3 months old, we were understandably a little nervous. We felt using Rover would be a much better option than boarding him at a pet hotel, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we could have made. We found Mollie on Rover and reached out to her. She responded so quickly that we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet the very next day. She took the time to get to know both us and Bruce, talked with us about his routine and personality, and even introduced him to her family. From that first meeting, we knew we had found someone special. During Bruce’s stay, Mollie kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and loved he was made it so much easier to enjoy our trip. Throughout the day, she shared the activities they were doing with Bruce, and it truly felt like he was part of the family. Honestly, I think he may have had even more fun at Mollie’s house than he does at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mollie went above and beyond in caring for Bruce, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We will absolutely be booking with Mollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Angela D handle my two dogs very well. My older dog Honey was having difficulty and Gigi being younger was would get in her environment but Angela seemed to handle the situation well. Taking them frequent walks calmed them down. She was patience with them which I loved and kept me updated on a daily.”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“Wanda was the best puppy sitter ever! I was afraid my pomeranian Rosey wouldnt want to come home with us. She sent many photos while we were away and Rosey looked so happy! I will be using Wanda again!”
“Micah and Jessica are the best!! They take such amazing care of our dogs, we will 100% at ease with them. They will always be our go-to sitters.”
“Zai and Max were wonderful with Lucy! They took great care of her over the weekend, followed all of my instructions, and kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures. Lucy is an older dog, and she got along really well with their two older dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such a caring and attentive home. I would definitely recommend Zai and Max and would happily have them watch Lucy again!”
“Ozzy had so much fun staying with Ximena and her family. I would recommend her to all and will be coming back when needed. She sent us videos and pictures multiple times a day and knew our pup was in good hands.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for an event for a couple hours. Matt and Kim fit me right in. My dog was very happy and tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend this wonderful family for ur dog to visit!”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Nick and Cora were great with our chow chow. They took him for many walks and kept him company. They were great for me too, sending many pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing. Six stars!”
About: I had a family dog for 13 years! Luna was such a good girl and very energetic. She has since passed and her energy is deeply missed! Having so much time with Luna allows me to say I have great experience with dogs both in their senior and puppy years. I am a full time college student. Starting in September my schooling is fully online. That way I will have plenty of time to tend to the pets. I have a fully secured backyard with grass, shade and cement. The yard is a good size for dogs to play and relax. As for inside, there is an AC for hot days and the dogs are allowed on the couches and beds.

“Daizy was amazing with my girls! My cats are very snuggly and like a lot of attention and her photos with them gave me peace of mind while away. One of my babies can be aggressive with her love and reading how she has spicy cat experience was a relief. Knowing that they had a friendly person to check on them and hang out with them was exactly what I needed in a sitter. Thank you so much and I will be booking again the next time I travel!”
“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”
“I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Allison took prompt and attentive care of Vivi every day. She sent plenty of pictures and confirmed all of Vivi's care instructions. When they AC wasn't turning on, Allison replaced the batteries in the control unit to ensure my apartment didn't get too hot. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer took care of my special needs cat and my 3 other cats. She was there morning and night and gave medicine to the diabetic cat I have. I shall be using her again in the near future.”
“Melissa did an outstanding job watching over my babbies while I was away for the weekend. Followed feeding instructions to a T and made sure their water bowl was always full. She kept me updated on all her visits. If y’all need someone to care for your cats while you’re away, I highly recommend Melissa!”
“Marby was absolutely amazing watching my cat, Gable, when I was away. Great communication, sends photos and an update after every visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to watch your pet while you’re away. Thank you Marby!”
“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”

About: I’m a dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends through house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and feeding schedules. I previously owned a beautiful Belgian Shepherd named Izzy, who was my adventure buddy for many years. After recently losing her, I’ve found a lot of joy in spending time with and caring for other people’s furry companions. I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to stop by for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, overnight care, or someone to check in and make sure they’re comfortable, I’m happy to help. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to help give you peace of mind while also giving your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family members while earning a little extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm available to stay overnight at your home Fridays - Tuesday evenings. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available to drop in during the workday to provide any walks or potty breaks that are needed. I'm unavailable to pet sit, walk, or do drop-ins on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can spend the night at your home to help ensure your furry companion doesn't experience separation anxiety. I've spent time walking dogs of all sizes, and I make sure to learn any triggers your animals may have before taking them on walks. I'll send photos of your animals while you're away to help you feel at peace and enjoy your vacation or work trip!
About: We are the proud mom and dad to our dog Koby who is 9 years young! We have plenty of experience with dogs who tend to have separation anxiety. That being said, you will not need to worry about your pup running out of entertainment. My husband works from home, so your pup will not be left alone and will have frequent walks throughout the day. We have a completely fenced in yard that will allow for fresh air throughout the day. My husband works from home full time so your pup will never be left alone and taken on walks every few hours. We are always outside playing and taking strolls in the neighborhood with our dog and will happily welcome yours! We have a very large and gated yard for fresh air as well! We have a large enclosed backyard which is gated in the front. Your dog would be free to roam the house. If your pup loves to sun bathe like ours, they’ll love all the nature sunlight beaming through our windows.
“Shawn is awesome! He took great care of our shy 13 year old cat. He found ways to engage her though she was always in hiding and even tracked her down to take pictures. Bubbles was healthy and happy when we returned and everything was left in order. Do not hesitate to book Shawn. He genuinely cares about pets, is punctual, and trustworthy.”
“Gabby was very communicative and reliable, sent lots of adorable photos of our cats, and even gave us a suggestion for a dietary supplement for our senior cat (she has a cat with similar health problems). She came to meet our cats before our trip as well, which helped us feel comfortable with having a new person feed them. She was great and we would definitely book her again!”
“Tara did such a great job housesitting and watching our two cats. We got regular updates with photos and videos and Tara was communicative and fantastic! I would rebook again with Tara in a heartbeat. She made our trip less stressful knowing our cats were well cared for. Thank you!”

“Oso had a great time! He loved spending time at Lauren's and seemed less than excited to leave. Lauren's dog Koa is a chill guy and didn't mind that Oso was bouncing around in his backyard. Oso had a deep snooze when he got home after his fun day.”
“Marby is an excellent sitter! Every time I pick up my baby, she is happy, content, and well cared for. I especially appreciate how Marby keeps me updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so grateful for the care, attention she provides. I truly appreciate knowing my baby is in good hands, and I will definitely continue booking with Marby! 🤍”

“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Jacquelyne was an amazing sitter and took such great care of my cockapoo for a few days. I always felt good about dropping him off and knew he was in good hands. Great communication and photos along the way as well!”
About: Hello! My name is Allison and I am a certified dog-lover! I have over 15 years of experience taking care of my own, family members', and friends' dogs, as well one year of dog walking with over 100 dogs via the Wag app. I grew up taking care of an adorable toy poodle that I appropriately named Peppy. Ever since I can remember I've helped dog-sit and walk family's and friends' dogs of all kind, some of which include my aunt's adorable yet mischievous Bichon Frise and two clever Jack Russel Terriers, my good friend's sweet and enormous husky, and my grandma's energetic little mutt. In New York I had the privilege of caring for my roommate's full-size Golden Retriever, a gorgeous and gentle giant named Jack, who I regularly took out for walks, bathed, fed, and administered arthritis medication when my roommate was frequently out of town. I joined Rover and Wag after my own dog passed because I can never get enough of dogs and was already helping friends and neighbors dog walk and sit part time. Every minute I've worked with my clients' pups has been such a joy since I've joined. I've gained an average five star rating from over 100 reviews on Wag. I do my absolute best to ensure both the owner and pup are comfortable and happy at all times during our time together, and have taken the time to educate myself, practice, and perfect various techniques to ensure a happy and safe pup no matter the size, breed, or temperament. I took a few year hiatus from Rover due to frequent moves and other life circumstances, but I'm excited to say that I've settled in Huntington Beach and am taking bookings again! It's a privilege to gain the trust and share the love of your loyal, furry friends. I can't wait to meet and spend time with them! Having been a pup mom myself, I understand that pups need special love and care when they are in a new environment without Mom and Dad. Because I work from home, I am happy to say I have the ability to keep your pup company all day. From time to time, I may need to go out for 1-2 hours for errands or appointments but can arrange my schedule to avoid these or even bring them along with me if your pup struggles with separation anxiety. I live in the lovely neighborhood of Bixby Knolls. There is a semi-gated, private grassy area within my apartment complex that I take the pups out for potty. For longer walks, I love taking a stroll through the beautiful homes with generous sidewalks and grass in surrounding in the area. I typically take at least 2 twenty minutes walks per day with Meeka, but am more than happy to have an excuse to take longer and more frequent walks if your energetic pup needs more outdoor time. Because my remote work 8a-4p schedule is flexible, I'm able to play, cuddle, and take frequent potty breaks throughout the workday to ensure your pup gets plenty of love.
“Jake is so chill and flexible. I needed a last minute sitter and was late to both drop off and pick up but Jake was so patient. My pup got along great with his dogs and kids! Meeka had a great time. Thank you again Jake, Meeka will be back!”
“Brittany was delightful to work with….prior to finalizing the booking we did a meet and greet and that allowed us to quickly see how natural she was with our pup, Reggie. Reggie immediately responded in a very positive manner to Brittany. Brittany’s own dog was mellow and good with Reggie. The day we dropped Reggie off, as soon as I got her out of the car she headed right for Brittany’s front door! Brittany is enthusiastic and caring, and put us at ease that we made the right decision choosing her, we will be rebooking with her soon! One last thing Brittany is great at communicating and sent multiple pictures to us of Reggie. Thanks Brittany see you again soon.”

I have two kitties of my own, and I’ve been dog/cat-sitting for the last several years around my neighborhood :) I worked for two years at a cat fostering facility, caring for 25 kitties at a time (administering medications, cleaning up, feeding, etc.) I also work at Medieval Times with the horses (big fur babies), so I love being able to work in close proximity to animals!

We are always outside playing and taking strolls in the neighborhood with our dog and will happily welcome yours! We have a very large and gated yard for fresh air as well! We have a large enclosed backyard which is gated in the front. Your dog would be free to roam the house. If your pup loves to sun bathe like ours, they’ll love all the nature sunlight beaming through our windows.
About: I grew up with cats, and currently have an 8 year old cat named Daisy. I’ve been trusted to watch the pets of friends including dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits. I love spending time with animals and getting to know them! I love having a set routine, especially when I’m not in school. I am currently employed part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. In a typical week I’d be available any time on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and after 2 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. At home my cat is strictly an indoor cat. When watching the pets of friends or family, when they are allowed outside I always make sure to watch them to ensure their safety. Additionally, I’m always my best and calmest self when working with animals to make sure we both stay safe and happy.

“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“I cannot recommend Laura enough. She was fantastic with our girls during their 8 day stay with her. She cared for our 2 golden retrievers (Mia and Riley), Chocolate Lab (Hershey), and our Russian Blue cat (Olivia- who has special needs as she is a tripod kitty) so well and gave us the peace of mind knowing they were in a safe and loving environment. Laura communicates very well and at the right frequency to give updates on your babies and sends pictures to help when you are missing their sweet faces. I know her house must have been hair-covered by the time we picked them up (mine always seems to be despite roomba constantly running) but she was gracious and no complaints. We will definitely book Laura in the future.”
“This was our first overnight stay we booked for Bruce through Rover. He has never really been away from us since we brought him home at just 5 weeks old, and now at a year and 3 months old, we were understandably a little nervous. We felt using Rover would be a much better option than boarding him at a pet hotel, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we could have made. We found Mollie on Rover and reached out to her. She responded so quickly that we were able to schedule a meet-and-greet the very next day. She took the time to get to know both us and Bruce, talked with us about his routine and personality, and even introduced him to her family. From that first meeting, we knew we had found someone special. During Bruce’s stay, Mollie kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and loved he was made it so much easier to enjoy our trip. Throughout the day, she shared the activities they were doing with Bruce, and it truly felt like he was part of the family. Honestly, I think he may have had even more fun at Mollie’s house than he does at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mollie went above and beyond in caring for Bruce, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We will absolutely be booking with Mollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Corrine and Louis were perfect! I felt our dogs were cared for just like they are at home and will definitely request to book again in the future when needed.”
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“Micah and Jessica are the best!! They take such amazing care of our dogs, we will 100% at ease with them. They will always be our go-to sitters.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for an event for a couple hours. Matt and Kim fit me right in. My dog was very happy and tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend this wonderful family for ur dog to visit!”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our dog. We couldn’t be happier! She sends plenty of photos throughout each day and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with love and care. Will definitely be coming back!”
About: I had a family dog for 13 years! Luna was such a good girl and very energetic. She has since passed and her energy is deeply missed! Having so much time with Luna allows me to say I have great experience with dogs both in their senior and puppy years. I am a full time college student. Starting in September my schooling is fully online. That way I will have plenty of time to tend to the pets. I have a fully secured backyard with grass, shade and cement. The yard is a good size for dogs to play and relax. As for inside, there is an AC for hot days and the dogs are allowed on the couches and beds.
“Ness took loving care of my baby while I was out of town. I really like her home setup with a backyard play area with grass and very tall fences. She's also fine with the dogs on the bed which is what my dog prefers. The neighborhood is also quiet, and, bonus, she's on the way to the airport.”
“Maria was so great! Really thoughtful and I can tell Lupo had a great time with her. She sent a lot of pictures keeping me updated and made me feel really comfortable leaving Lupo behind. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“We appreciate the patience Danny & Tal had with our dog during a full blown separation anxiety episode that lasted the entire 3-4 day boarding period. They consistently sent us updates and airs assured us they would keep working with her to make her comfortable. Bravo to this team and thank you so much.”
“Katherine and John took such good care of Nala. They shared pictures while I was away and Nala looked very happy! I will definitely use them again. It’s such a relief to find people you can trust leaving your pet with.”
“Marlo took amazing care of our 5-year-old pup, Sky! We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and it was clear she was in great hands. She also sends the best updates, which made us feel so at ease. Reliable, kind, and fantastic with pets—highly recommend!”
“Teddy loved his week stay with Lauren!! We got daily pics and updates, so that we could rest assured and enjoy our vacation. And Koa is such a sweet dog and gets along so well with Teddy too. We definitely recommend Lauren.”
“Christa was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of my doggo while I was out for 2 weeks. She took her on all kinds of adventures and sent lots of messages and pictures. She was very responsive and incredibly sweet to my dog. I highly suggest having Christa watch your puppers!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
