“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“Xiaoying was very communicative which I really appreciated. Gave me piece of mind knowing my little ones were in good hands. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely have her be a cat sitter again. Thank you!”
“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”

“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!”
“Messaging Muskaan and family was the best decision I’ve ever made on Rover. My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter than would watch our two girls AND help take them to our wedding. Without hesitation, Muskaan and her family responded with excitement. They even offered to attend our wedding rehearsal. My two girls have terrible separation anxiety but I always felt that they were in the best hands. They were even treated to amazing homemade dogfood during their stay. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!”
“Donna and Mike were just amazing! Cindy had a delightful time with them! Long walks, playing with her toy! She had a blast! And for sure, they were also very careful with her! When we first met, I recall Donna asking for Cindy’s routine, how many walks, time she used to eat, poop… just super careful about all details. I strongly recommend both of them and Cindy as well.”
“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“SaeWon was so kind and caring towards my sweet pup, Ava. I always get nervous leaving my pup with a stranger for boarding but SaeWon kept me in the loop with lots of pictures and videos of Ava while I was gone. She also sent me updates on her and it gave me lots of ease knowing my dog was taken care of. SaeWon’s sons also helpedcare for the dogs and I can tell the sons are wonderful with dogs!! I highly recommend SaeWon and her family’s services. Thank you for everything, SaeWon!”
“We booked Marta for a 15-day stay while we were away, and we really appreciated how well she cared for Milo. When our flight was delayed, she was super flexible and had no problem extending his stay by an extra day, which was such a relief. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. She also shared helpful tips to keep our dog healthy. Overall, we’re grateful to have had her look after our pup and keep him happy and safe while we were gone!”
“Tyrie was wonderful to my senior Doberman, Jimmy, and sent me pics during my week vacation. We had a meet and greet before his booking and she asked all of the right questions for clarification. I could tell Jimmy was comfortable during his stay with her. I will definitely keep Tyrie in mind for any future boarding needs. 10/10 for Tyrie!”
“Lanie, Layla and I enjoyed meeting Amanda. We appreciate the pre-meet to get acquainted. She has an extensive knowledge of dog care, which put my mind at ease. We booked the stay and everything went great. Our dogs came home happy and it seems Lanie made a new friend in Amanda’s daughter. We plan to book with her again. Thanks, Amanda!”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“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.”
“Annie did an amazing job watching Miso! She is very caring, attentive, and made sure that Miso had the best time. It was clear that Miso felt very comfortable with her and loved staying in her home. Annie sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated on how Miso was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend having Annie watch your fur baby, she will treat them as her own!”
“Jocelyn was attentive, response, kind and patient to my little Almond. I received many pictures and updates during her stay. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Jocelyn!”
“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“Fantastic experience in every capacity. Luana took exceptional care of my dog. She treats your dog as if it is her own. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Just wonderful. It was as if my dog had it's own little vacation experience at her home too. My dog was so happy to be there.”
“I needed a sitter urgently and Julian was ready and available in such short notice. He was very accommodating with our situation and took very good care of Loki. He sent us lots of pictures and communicated regularly so I know he was in very good hands. Highly recommend him and will definitely book him again in the future.”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”

“Chen is the best! She is incredibly trustworthy, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about our cats. Moose and Rocky warmed up to her the moment she walked through the door for our first meet-and-greet—she’s truly a cat whisperer. We have complete peace of mind whenever we travel knowing Chen is looking after them. She provides detailed updates after every visit, along with plenty of adorable photos that help us feel connected to our babies while we’re away. Chen is attentive, reliable, and follows instructions perfectly. She pays close attention when one of our cats isn’t feeling their best and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. On top of that, she is one of the kindest and sweetest people to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more highly—10/10!”

“Kylie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. Sweet, punctual, responsive and overall easy to communicate/work with. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again when I need someone to care for my orange boys.”
About: I’ve had cats and kittens since childhood and honestly can’t remember a time when cats were not part of my family. Currently, I have two 5-year-old rescue cats, Piper and Gimli, who are very much part of my daily life. At home, we have a cat wheel that Piper enthusiastically uses several times a day, as well as a stroller the cats jump into when they want to be pushed around the house. I usually take them from room to room, talking to them and describing where we are. They enjoy having individual turns, and Gimli especially likes curling up in the stroller for naps. He also loves “Cat TV” and will sit on the ottoman staring toward the television until I turn it on for him. Both cats are very attached and tend to follow me everywhere — supervising me in the kitchen, “helping” at my desk, curling up on my lap while I relax, and sleeping on my bed each night. They are strictly indoor cats. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats with medical needs. Previous cats required hydration injections, which I administered myself, along with pills and liquid medications when needed. I trim Piper’s nails regularly, although Gimli is much stronger and more sensitive about handling. He prefers affection on his own terms and enjoys relaxing high up in the cat tree, while Piper is more independent overall. I frequently care for my son’s cats as well. His family previously had two senior cats who lived to age 17 and required ongoing medication, including insulin injections for diabetes. They now have two energetic young kittens, which requires careful supervision because the family also has a Husky who is not yet trustworthy around small animals. Managing boundaries and keeping the kittens safe has become an important part of their daily routine. I also care for my former neighbor’s cat whenever she travels. Although shy with most people, she has become very comfortable with me and greets me enthusiastically when I arrive. I typically visit her two or three times a day so she has companionship, playtime, and attention in addition to basic care. In addition, I’ve cared for a friend’s cats while she was away, and her remaining cat still happily greets me whenever I visit. Animals have always seemed to trust and respond well to me. It’s very rare for one to act aggressively toward me, and I genuinely enjoy earning their comfort and confidence.
“Super sweet lady. My cat, normally hides under beds, as he was rescued by my daughter and given to dad to watch while she’s away at college. So it was good to see Linda had formed a good relationship with him in his brief stay. Did I say Linda was just oh so chill? She is, like super casual and you could feel good with her watching your pets. Thanks Linda Db”
“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”

About: My name is Danielle. I am a SoCal native and have lived in Orange County my entire life. I love the outdoors and early morning walks or hikes, especially when accompanied by a four-legged friend. I also love lazy days, snuggling up, and watching movies or reading a good book with a cat or dog curled up next to me. I am currently in college, working toward my Bachelors Degree in Business with a focus on environmental sustainability. While I actively pursue my degree, I am working in the commercial real estate industry as an analyst. I have been an animal lover my entire life and have had pets throughout my life. I have also taken care of the pets for my extended family and friends over the years, which I absolutely love and enjoy.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I’m comfortable with all types of kitties,shy, sassy, playful, or super cuddly. I’m happy to help with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of gentle attention, making sure your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away
“Ashley is the most loving, and accommodating sitter I could ever ask for. She took care of our cat every day for almost three weeks. She was very kind to buy cat treats and toys on top of the routine tasks, our cat loves her!”
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.
“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”

“Emely has been super helpful with helping take care of my 3 month old pup. She is very attentive and is always sure to send me updates throughout the day. I definitely recommend!”
About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.
“We really appreciate Pili accommodate our very last minute request and being flexible. She takes great care of our puppy. She was very diligent with frequent updates and pictures and our puppy was very happy when we picked her up at the end of the day care!”
“Sandra and Peter did a great job taking care of our dog! They are thorough going through details before the day care and we can tell our dog had a great day when picking her up!”
“We have booked Julian multiple times and have always been impressive with Julian’s sitting services. Today, we had both our dogs over for day care and the boys had a very fun day (walks, park etc.) and Julian was super flexible with our pickup time. Will definitely book again!”
“If I didn't know that I would bore you, I’d write a whole essay about our AMAZING experience with Mike and Donna. In a few words, they are the best pup sitters in the world. They pay attention to every detail and they cared for our dogs, as if they were their own in the best possible way. Thank you Mike and Donna for all the love and wonderful time you gave our fur babies.”
“Stella was quick to respond and was able to accommodate watching my dog on short notice. She was very friendly and gave frequent updates during her time watching him. Would definitely use her again and recommend her”
“Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!”
About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!
“Tyrie was able to help me with doggy day care very last minute. My dog Frank had a great day with her and enjoyed himself immensely! I am very grateful for Tyrie’s efficient and quick response time and loving doggy daycare! Book with confidence!”

About: Hello! I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter dedicated to providing high-quality care for your dog. I have experience with daily routines, leash walking, feeding schedules, and administering basic care. My goal is to maintain consistency and comfort for your pet while you’re away. I take safety seriously and communicate clearly, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to take breaks as needed. On the weekends I like to stay close to home. I wouldn’t leave the house for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will feel like they’re at home. They will receive the same love, attention and care! Any specific needs can be accommodated as well.
“I booked Mengmeng for a last-minute dog sitting for my 7-month-old puppy, and she was absolutely amazing! She watched him for 12 hours and was incredibly flexible with both pickup and drop-off, which made things so easy for me. She sent me lots of adorable photos and videos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. He looked so happy and comfortable! On top of that, she gave him a fresh bath and the cutest little trim—he came home clean, happy, and looking extra cute! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I took a "test drive" with Mark, leaving my dogs with him for a day. He was a great match for my 2 older dogs. He knew how to match their energy and had a very calm presence when they first met him. My pups will usually bark at people when they first met them but not at Mark. They were fine with him for a full day. He took them for a walk and they were fine for him. My "party pup" wanted more pets from Mark before we left. I definitely recommend Mark for a calm & comfortable person & place of care.”

“Rachel was great with my senior dog who needed a walk while I was gone for an extended time. She was very flexible on feeding him and took him on a nice long walk. Overall she was great!”
“Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”
About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. Our dog was also VERY food motivated and would try to eat anything vaguely edible in the house. Because of this, we are still in the habit of keeping all foods out of pet-reach, including in the kitchen, purses/bags, and trash cans. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story pet-free home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available. I only host 1 client at a time in my home (1 or 2 dogs from the same household). This means your pets will get my full attention, and there won’t be any issues with reactive dogs.
About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over many years, including birds, cats, dogs, fish and others. I’m also the go-to caregiver for my son’s animals whenever needed. Friends know me as a dedicated animal lover and often reach out for help or advice in different pet and wildlife situations. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals in need and have rescued and cared for crows, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and other wildlife over the years. I'm semi-retired and do volunteer work on Mondays. The rest of the week is fairly open so I can be flexible with your requirements. Typically, I stop by in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening depending on your preference. I believe pet care should involve more than simply feeding and leaving. I take time to make cats feel comfortable, cared for, and less lonely while their owners are away. During visits, I greet and talk to the cat, refresh water with clean bowls, provide meals according to instructions, and spend quality time doing whatever the cat enjoys most — whether that’s playing, brushing, petting, or simply sitting quietly nearby. I also check and clean the litter box as needed. Visits are typically about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the cat’s personality and level of interaction. Some cats enjoy active attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. At times, I’ll sit and read quietly so they feel relaxed and accompanied. For evening visits, I can turn on small lights (or follow any specific household instructions) and turn them off during morning visits. Before leaving, I tidy up toys, make sure feeding areas are clean, return everything to its original place, and ensure the home is secure and locked. I also like to send occasional photos or updates so owners can see that their pets are safe, happy, and doing well.
“Brady absolutely loves his walks with Jay! He looks so happy when he gets picked up, his tail wags away as they go for walks. My pooch is a "hard walker", he pulls & and at times he has reactivity issues towards other dogs, but Jay seems to know how to handle him. They definitely have a connection! Jay also has an easy going personality & he's been trust worthy regarding the schedule. Super happy to have discovered Jay as Brady's dog walker!🐾😊”

I am available all day on weekends and weekday evenings.

Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

“Wen was wonderful! She's incredibly responsive and caring, and she sent us pictures throughout, which put us completely at ease. Our beagle Mango was comfortable with her from the start. We'll definitely be booking Wen again — highly recommend!”
“Our Annie was well cared for at William’s home. i have had him take care of her a few times and am very satisfied each time. Annie is very happy too and loves exploring his back yard!”
“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!”
“Messaging Muskaan and family was the best decision I’ve ever made on Rover. My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter than would watch our two girls AND help take them to our wedding. Without hesitation, Muskaan and her family responded with excitement. They even offered to attend our wedding rehearsal. My two girls have terrible separation anxiety but I always felt that they were in the best hands. They were even treated to amazing homemade dogfood during their stay. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“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.”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”
“I highly recommend allowing Mengmeng & Pengyu Q to care for your dog while you’re away from home. She went above and beyond taking care of my sweet girl Tina while we went away on vacation. I received daily photos and videos and updates on how my girl was doing while I was away. She even took the extra step of grooming her and trimming her nails!! I’m so grateful to them for taking extra special care of Tina and felt super confident and comfortable that she was in excellent hands while I was away! We will definitely be using them again if we go on another vacation in the future!!”
“Wally had the best day with Saeedeh! From drop-off to pick-up, it was clear he was well cared for and in good hands. We received updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind, and he came home happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the care, attention, and kindness shown during his day stay!”
“Lan quickly accepted our boarding request and scheduled a meet and greet! She was very sweet and attentive and engaged with my dog during the meet and greet! During our dogs 5 night stay we got multiple pictures, videos and updates every day! I felt very at ease knowing my dog was being loved and well cared for! I would definitely book with Lan again!”

“Elizabeth took great care of our dog, Louie. He has some special needs and I’m always nervous when we use a new dog sitter but I could tell from the photos that he got a lot of love and had a good time! Elizabeth is also very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Thank you, again!”
“Gina is a kind and sweet person with a warm heart who genuinely cares about the well-being of my French Bulldog. Gina sends picture updates to keep me informed every couple of hours. My dog absolutely loves Daisy and loves to play with her. I feel confident Vanessa is happy and loved. Gina is the perfect choice if you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Julie boarded our Vizsla over the holiday weekend, and everything went perfect. Her home was perfect for dogs, and Julie sent updates. Will definitely look forward to using Julie again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I currently have one friendly dog and two cats, and I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and understanding different pet personalities. I truly enjoy caring for pets and making sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often and already spend my day feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time with my own pets. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My young daughter also loves dogs and is gentle and respectful around them. I am available on weekdays and weekends. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly with a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. My dog is friendly and well-socialized with other dogs, and I always introduce pets slowly and carefully. I closely follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs. I understand pets are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“I was so nervous to leave my dog Phil with another family because he’s kind of skittish and is attached to me. As soon as Phil met Stevie they became instant best friends! Wendy is so accommodating and sends daily pictures (not to mention she takes awesome action shots). When I picked Phil up I could tell he bonded with the entire family. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to do dog boarding. She is so kind and you can tell she loves animals. She will be our go to every time now.”
“Ellie and her family spoiled our dog Jager. He enjoyed a great deal of walks and playing. They even offered him a bigger and more supportive bed than the one I brought over. We will see if Ellie and her family are available to dogsit Jager again the next time we go out-of-town.”
“Olga took care of my 2 pups this weekend. With our initial contact, Olga was interested in understanding their habits and daily routines. From making sure she would properly administer heart medication to my senior dog, to how they go potty (on puppy pads and going outside), I truly felt she wanted to make my pups' stay with her as close to what they were used to at home as possible. She sent photos daily and kept me updated on how they were doing. I don't often leave my pups with anyone, but with Olga I felt they were very well taken care of. Thanks Olga!”
