“I am so grateful to have Deborah to care for our dog, Banjo, when we pop out of town. (Thank you for accomodating our last minute request!) She and her husband, Ken, are so kind and trustworthy and they genuinely love the animals in their care. Their beautiful home is immaculate and well prepared for visiting pets. Great experience!”
“Wesley Archer enjoyed his visit & stay with Nicole! Having the opportunity to meet and play with other dogs at the doggie daycare was super helpful and a bonus for playtime and socialization. He looks forward to the next time he may get to go for another visit! Thank you”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Wendi is the best. She watched my 6 month old puppy. I went on vacation for a week and she kept me updated with pictures and she let me know how he was doing so I could relax and have a good time. He was so happy and content when I picked him up. Thanks so much!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Mia was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, and they truly looked like they were having the best time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great care and getting so much love and attention while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”
“Kona had a fantastic time with Ryan, Marianna, and Remy - she was completely spoiled. We had many photo updates daily over our trip and could tell she was enjoying her stay. She loved playing with Remy and got outside for a lot of walks. She can’t wait to go back for another visit!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have cared for animals all my life. Growing up my family had a sweet shelter dog and many cats. We cared for very young pets to senior pets. Now, I have my own little dog whom I rescued from the shelter. I appreciate that all animals have their own unique personalities and quirks. I work remotely and can give your pet child all the attention they need. I am happy to prep their food and accommodate them while you are away. I have a pet stroller and pet carriers to use as needed. For boarding your dog child, I take my dog on walks throughout the day and once before bedtime, and I will take your dog as well. They are allowed on the sofa and I have multiple dog beds throughout the home. I currently work remotely so I will can give your dog child all the attention it needs while they adjust. I will treat your dog child like I do my own. Typically, I walk my dog throughout the day and once before bedtime to make sure they don’t feel any discomfort. I tailor my care for your pup, so if your pup loves to sleep I will happily give them the time and space to. If your dog loves walking then I make sure to take them on walks. I have pet carriers, a pet stroller, and dog car seats in my car to use as needed. I will send you photos throughout the day or as often as you request. I take their safety very seriously. If I sense any discomfort, I immediately try to address it in the most appropriate way, whether it be cuddles or space to decompress. I will never take your dog to the dog park and I will closely monitor any interactions with dogs during walks (if you have any concerns please let me know). I always leave water out for them and make sure they are fed according to their food schedule. I will attach an Apple ID tag to them for GPS. For dog boarding, since I have a small 12 lb chihuahua poodle mix, I kindly request meeting in a nearby park first so we can check that the pups will get along before taking them to my home. This is for everyone’s safety.
“Bennie and Jennie were kind and provided exceptional service. I trusted that our cat was in good hands and will reach out again if we need care in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”

Having been around dogs since childhood, I take great pride in knowing how to keep them happy and healthy. I currently have a handsome, fabulous, and loving 9-year-old miniature Poodle, whom I’ve raised with all my care and affection. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs! I can assure you that your beloved pet will feel right at home with me, enjoying the same love and attention they would with you. I offer both short-term and long-term care, adapting to whatever you need. Rest assured, I’ll keep you updated with photos and videos on my instagram so you can see just how much fun they’re having!

I’m happy to walk your dog, according to your preferences. There’s a park just near my home, so I can take them there for some extra fun if you’d like!
“Jeff and Kara were wonderful with Milo. They did an amazing job taking care of him and communicated daily. Milo would be happy to go back any time. We would highly recommend them.”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Connie is such a compassionate, caring person, and she truly goes the extra mile when caring for our pup.❤️ We have a senior dog, who requires some extra affection and care, and Connie has gone above and beyond each time she watches her. We are so thankful! Since our pup cannot tolerate treats, Connie was so thoughtful to make little treats from her special dog food. She kept us updated throughout the week our dog stayed with her, sending us pictures and letting us know how our girl was doing. Your dog will be in the BEST care with Connie, she is truly amazing and cares for your animal like her own.💕 Thank you, Connie!”

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
About: What sets me apart is my understanding that every cat is different and that trust is something that must be earned, not expected. My two cats, Zora and Viola, came into my life when I found them as kittens living on the street. Bringing them home and helping them grow into confident, happy cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and allowing animals to feel safe at their own pace. Because I've cared for cats with very different personalities, I understand that some cats are social and affectionate right away, while others prefer space and time before they warm up to someone new. I respect those differences and adapt my approach to each cat's comfort level rather than forcing interaction. Living with both cats and a senior Husky, Aurora, has also given me experience managing a calm, respectful multi-pet household while still prioritizing each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. Whether your cat is playful, independent, shy, or somewhere in between, my goal is to provide calm, attentive care that helps them feel secure, respected, and comfortable in their own environment while you're away.
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life. I grew up with a cat and had one of my own in my 20s. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely loving toward all animals, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I grew up with many cats, short haired cats, long haired cats, shy cats, and diva cats. I am very comfortable around all types. I respect their space, while also trying to engage them respectfully. I like to play with them with toys and I can provide companionship while you are away.
“Polina has taken excellent care of my cat, Christof, who has complex medical needs including requiring insulin injections. She is very detail oriented and provides wonderful updates complete with photos/videos every time! Highly recommend!”
“Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!”
“Once again, Jennie and Bennie were amazing with our cats! They are like family to our four cats now and they are so attentive and responsible with frequent updates and photos/videos. We highly recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of cats of all ages! I've bottle-fed newborns when their mother was run over, have fostered and adopted cats of my own! I love playing with cats and also cuddling with them :) I have given oral medicine to them as well!
“Javier was super friendly, reliable, and hard-working. He did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my two cats, and I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Javier and will 100% be contacting him again next time I need cat care!”

About: I’ve been a cat sitter for a few of my neighbors over the past two years, so I’m very comfortable with everything from feeding and playtime to giving them space when they need it. I truly love spending time with cats. I always care for them with love, patience, and attention to their unique personalities. I’m also very responsible and clean—I’ll always make sure your space stays tidy and your cat is well taken care of.❣️
About: I’ve been taking care of stray cats since I was in Korea and have been fostering/rescuing them since 20. I have adopted my two cats during covid since they had no where to go at that time. I have expert knowledge about cats. I can clip their nails, take a shower, give them medicine pills, and give them flea medicine on their back head.
About: Growing up I had several cats, the oldest lived to be a part of cherished memories in my twenties even. Since then I have also watch over cats while house sitting, and often assisting with foster services in Long Beach
“For our first day leaving Willis home alone for such a long time, we felt peace of mind that Julie would be coming by to check on him, feed him and play with him. It’s so nice to know that Julie is reliable, communicative and clearly great with our dog so that we can book her again in the future.”

About: I’m a full-time work-from-home dog mom to my 2.5-year-old golden retriever, Goose, who loves meeting new friends. I can offer your pet constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I’ve raised Goose since he was 12 weeks old, have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience, and grew up with cats. I can administer medications, follow detailed care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—I already spend my days walking, playing with, and caring for Goose. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, mid-day walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a quick cuddle, a mental-stimulating game, or an extra walk to burn energy, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. Dogs have access to a secure balcony for fresh air and are allowed on the bed for snuggles, but not on other furniture. We follow a no human-food policy to keep pets safe. I stick closely to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and confident in their surroundings. Goose is extremely friendly with other dogs and fascinated (but gentle) with cats; if needed, I can separate spaces to keep everyone relaxed.
“My dog Kermit stayed with Mia and absolutely loved it. He had the best time and was cared for exceptionally :) Mia sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay and that really gave me a peace of mind. Thank you Mia!”
“Deborah has been wonderful at taking care of Harry! She asked lots of questions and was super sweet and loving! I am very protective of him and don’t leave him with any one if I can help it! But as I had a grand baby on the way - I needed help and Deborah was amazing! We will see her again!”

“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:)
“Mari, Ryan and Remy are a dream come true! My pup is such an energetic poodle mix boy and they totally get him! It’s a match made in heaven. They send so many photos, are more than communicative and thoughtful. They are so on top of it, it’s already making me a better dog mom. Goose comes home tired- finally! Long play times and walks are what we were looking for. Sad that it took 2.5 years to find them but happy to have them a part of our lives now!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from small breeds like Pomeranians to large dogs like German Shepherds. I’m especially comfortable working with active and high-energy dogs, making sure they get enough exercise, structured walks, and engaging playtime to keep them happy and balanced. I also have experience with anxious or sensitive dogs. Two years ago, I adopted a rescue dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust while helping a dog feel safe in a new environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am available to spend time with your pet at a time that works well for both of us. I live in an apartment complex near a park, and there’s also a dog park on-site. My dog is very friendly and gets along well with others.
“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”

About: I've shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and currently have a senior Husky named Aurora, so I've experienced everything from raising high-energy working dogs to caring for an older dog with changing needs. Those experiences have taught me that no two animals are alike. One of the things I love most about caring for pets is getting to know their individual personalities. Some dogs want to spend every minute playing fetch, while others are happiest taking a slow walk and taking in the world around them. Some cats will curl up beside you immediately, while others prefer to earn your trust on their own terms. I believe great pet care starts with understanding and respecting each animal for who they are rather than expecting them all to be the same. When I'm caring for your pet, my goal isn't just to make sure they're fed and exercised—it's to make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I pay attention to their routines, quirks, preferences, and body language so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. Aurora has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to a pet's unique needs, especially as they get older. Whether I'm caring for an energetic puppy, a large-breed dog, a senior pet, or a cat that needs a little extra patience, I approach every animal with the same respect, attentiveness, and affection I would want for my own. I also offer overnight house sitting and understand that caring for a home is part of caring for a pet. I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash bins, and keeping an eye on things while you're away so you can travel with greater peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your pets, learning their personalities, and providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight visits, and I make it a priority to be responsive, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. For house sitting, I spend quality time with pets and do my best to maintain their normal routine and environment. I understand that consistency is important, and I strive to provide attentive care and regular updates so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they're away. One of the biggest things I've learned from growing up with German Shepherds and caring for my senior Husky, Aurora, is that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and way of communicating. Some pets are immediately social and affectionate, while others take time to build trust. Some thrive on activity and adventure, while others prefer a calm routine and familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable rather than treating every animal the same way. I pay attention to their body language, habits, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free. Whether I'm walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, caring for your cat, or house sitting while you're away, my goal is to provide a calm, dependable presence and maintain the routine your pet knows and trusts. For walks, I prioritize safety, use secure leashing practices, stay aware of my surroundings, and adjust the pace and activity level to fit each dog's age, energy level, and comfort. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on things while you're away. I believe great pet care is built on patience, consistency, communication, and earning an animal's trust. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach and closer attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I’m used to providing regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with regular exercise, supervision, fresh water, meals, and lots of love and enrichment. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to help them feel happy and stress-free
About: Hi all! My name is Charlotte and I just graduated from UCSD. I am born and raised in Newport Beach and have a love for dogs and walking around our beautiful home. I have had multiple dogs growing up and have loved taking care of friends dogs recently! I absolutely adore spending time with them and being outside in general. Let me know if you need any assistance, I'd be more than happy to help. I am available almost every week day for walking and available weekends for house sitting! Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to chat and discuss more specifics. I make sure they always have someone around them to hang out with and give them attention, whether that's walks or just keeping them company. I prioritize sticking to their routine and making sure they have plenty of time to go outside, do their business, and get their energy out!
About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.
About: I love all to get all the details, any special scratches, snuggles, cuddles, rubs, hugs or nicknames Fido or Fifi prefers Please Let me Know. I want to provide the same comfort a beloved family member might. Obviously, no one can replace their real Mom or Dad, but I like to try! 4 Paws Up! I have experience administering medications, if necessary. Hopefully it's just walks, fun. snuggles, and maybe a treat or two. 😄 I have a flexible schedule at the moment. I look forward to helping your pets at the appropriate time to keep them healthy and happy. I'll read and reread any notes or instructions left for me, so I can care and keep you fur baby safe and sound. I'm great at keeping an eye on the house, locking up and hanging out with your pets for a good night's sleep. I don't drink and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“Julie is very attentive and a clear animal lover. My dog Kiwi took to her right away! While we were out for the day, we were given frequent updates on how both Kiwi and cat Olive were doing. She went the extra mile giving them food and treats 💜”
About: I provide personalized care for every stage of a dog's life, with a particular passion for senior care. I understand the unique needs of senior dogs – from administering medication to offering gentle exercise and tailored comfort to keep them feeling their best. Whether it's managing prescriptions, specialized diets, or simply providing extra attention, I'm here to ensure both you and your pup have peace of mind while you're away. I also bring flexibility to my pet-sitting services, as I work from home. I can provide your dog with playtime, walks, or cuddles while you're busy, ensuring your furry friend has a great time while you're away from home. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I enjoy taking frequent walk and play breaks with the pets, which helps both me and the animals stay active and engaged. These breaks provide an opportunity for quality time, exercise, and bonding, ensuring the pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a playful game, I make sure to integrate these moments into my schedule, keeping your pet stimulated and content while I work. In your home, I maintain the same level of care as you provide by respecting your pet’s routine and space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, ensuring their daily habits are kept as normal as possible, from feeding times to play sessions. If your pet has special needs, such as medication or medical care, I’m experienced in handling that with great attention to detail and love. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy.
About: I have cared for animals all my life. Growing up my family had a sweet shelter dog and many cats. We cared for very young pets to senior pets. Now, I have my own little dog whom I rescued from the shelter. I appreciate that all animals have their own unique personalities and quirks. I work remotely and can give your pet child all the attention they need. I am happy to prep their food and accommodate them while you are away. I have a pet stroller and pet carriers to use as needed. For boarding your dog child, I take my dog on walks throughout the day and once before bedtime, and I will take your dog as well. They are allowed on the sofa and I have multiple dog beds throughout the home. I currently work remotely so I will can give your dog child all the attention it needs while they adjust. I will treat your dog child like I do my own. Typically, I walk my dog throughout the day and once before bedtime to make sure they don’t feel any discomfort. I tailor my care for your pup, so if your pup loves to sleep I will happily give them the time and space to. If your dog loves walking then I make sure to take them on walks. I have pet carriers, a pet stroller, and dog car seats in my car to use as needed. I will send you photos throughout the day or as often as you request. I take their safety very seriously. If I sense any discomfort, I immediately try to address it in the most appropriate way, whether it be cuddles or space to decompress. I will never take your dog to the dog park and I will closely monitor any interactions with dogs during walks (if you have any concerns please let me know). I always leave water out for them and make sure they are fed according to their food schedule. I will attach an Apple ID tag to them for GPS. For dog boarding, since I have a small 12 lb chihuahua poodle mix, I kindly request meeting in a nearby park first so we can check that the pups will get along before taking them to my home. This is for everyone’s safety.
About: I am a certified animal communicator and reiki practitioner with over 10 years of experience. However I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with vision and hearing impairment. I also volunteer my communication services to animal rescues to help dogs exhibiting puzzling behavior be heard. In addition I work as an animal transporter for several rescues, so I guess you could say I’m a professional canine chauffeur! I have experience working with a wide range of ages and breeds. So be it a pittie puppy, a middle aged pug, or a senior chihuahua, I am comfortable with them all and will ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and secure while you are away. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible which allows me to accommodate your pup’s unique schedule and playtime needs. Whether they are an early bird or a night owl, I’ve got you covered! When caring for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, I acknowledge that I am the new comer coming into their space. I always take it slow and allow the animal to share what they wish to with me, just as you would with a young child. This establishes a foundation of trust that we can build upon.
About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.
About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.
About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years- whether for friends, family, neighbors, or through volunteering at shelters. It’s always such a joy to meet them, because each one has their own unique personality. I’m a registered nurse looking for a fulfilling side opportunity where I can continue helping others in my community. I love being outdoors, staying active, and it would truly be an honor to care for and spend time with your fur baby. I work as a contract nurse, so I create and manage my own schedule. I’m super flexible and able to accommodate my clients needs accordingly. I have a 10 year old dog I got when I was 19 years old and he’s been my side kick for many years. I’m looking to dog walk, since I unfortunately don’t have a yard at the moment but know a lot of resourceful trails that are dog friendly. I have a safe and reliable SUV if you ever needed me to drive your pet somewhere for our time together.
About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:)
About: I have had pets since I was 5, both cats and dogs. I’ve house sat many times for cat and dog households. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets. I used to walk on rover quite a bit but have taken a few years off. Looking to build up more clients now that I have time! I’m currently a substitute teacher and dog mom! I have a flexible schedule as a substitute and dedicate my time outside of that to exercise and pet care! I am very good with working with whatever is best for your pets, so if they need to be crated, or have special instructions I do well with all kinds.

“Wesley Archer enjoyed his visit & stay with Nicole! Having the opportunity to meet and play with other dogs at the doggie daycare was super helpful and a bonus for playtime and socialization. He looks forward to the next time he may get to go for another visit! Thank you”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Mia was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs! She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, and they truly looked like they were having the best time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great care and getting so much love and attention while we were away. We would absolutely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Jeff and Kara were wonderful with Milo. They did an amazing job taking care of him and communicated daily. Milo would be happy to go back any time. We would highly recommend them.”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Megan did a terrific job keeping me constantly informed and sending pictures. I think Buddy had a better time being with her and her dog than he has with boring old me. I would definitely recommend Meghan to anyone.”
“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!”
“Jeff, Keersi, and Scuba are such a pleasure to work with. Leela is always in great hands with them. I feel a great piece of mind in leaving Leela with this amazing family. :)”
“Nicole was the first person I decided to trust outside my family to watch my 9 year old dog, and I definitely made the right decision! Nicole is a genuine dog lover and a kind soul. She welcomed a meet and greet at her home before our official drop off and treated my dog as her own. When she sent me pictures, I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. My dog has a knee issue and Nicole was gracious to let me bring extra mats and a ramp for him. I felt at ease knowing my dog was with Nicole and I will only choose her from this point forward! Super grateful that we found her!”
“Rachel was excellent. My dog loved her! She was so great in decreasing my pup's anxiety and nervousness! She sent me great pics and videos so I knew my pup was adjusting. I would 100 percent reccomend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of numerous pets over the last years and I most definitely love them. I would be more than happy to watch over yours and assure you they will be in a safe and comfortable space I work remotely from Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM so it’s easy for me to watch over pets as I am home all the time. I am also the type of person that stays in during the weekend so I assure you your pet will be accompanied at all times. My home has a spacious backyard, the yard is big enough for your pet to play and have fun. Im sure your pet will feel comfortable and happy staying with me.
“Adrianna was great and Casper had the best time. I was going on a vacation and was able to get some great photos and updates throughout my trip. If I have to leave again for an extended period I would be happy to rebook another stay!”
“Kelli was incredible! This was a last minute booking and also first time using rover so I was a bit nervous how it would go BUTTTT she sent picture’s and updates every few hours and treated him as if it were her own! I’m so happy I was able to find Kelli’s profile and that it all worked out perfectly! Def will continue to use her in the future! Jocko loved her from the beginning and ran straight to her when we met!”
“Highly recommend Nathan and Paula! If they’re available to watch Korra, I immediately book them. The peace of mind I get when she’s with them is unmatched. She gets to play with their girls, has access to a beautiful yard, and gets to go on jogs and hikes. She has such a good time when she stays with them, I’m not sure she wants to come home when it’s time to leave!”
“This is the second time I booked with Vi to board my dog Chelsea and I can’t be more happy! You can see all the love and care she has for dogs, she treated my baby like if she was her own. It was clear that she made her feel comfortable, loved, and at home. I’m so grateful I found someone like Vi to take care of my baby when I can’t 🩷”
