“Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.”
“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Wen really took special care of Rocket in her home and with her family. I’m so happy he could spend time with her children and I think he really loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Rocket will be back❤️”
“We love this family. We get at least 3 videos and pics a day. They walk our dog 3 times a day. They love on our golden as if she is their very own:: our dog is so happy when we pick her up that she sits on the road and refuses to get in our car to leave”
“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!”

“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!”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.”

“Michael took great care of our two Corgis for the duration of a week. Michael sent videos and gave us updates the entire time. They had a great time and had the opportunity to meet another Corgi (Ollie) and they became friends. They are home now and getting back to their regular routines. Thank you Michael for taking such a great care of our babies.”
“I had to look for a last minute pet sitter for the weekend and Saewon came through. I was nervous leaving my dog overnight but after meeting her I was confident my dog was in good hands. She was very responsive and respectful, she took care of my dog like her own. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. I hope to use her in the future.”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“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!”
“It has been a tough journey finding care for my senior dogs now that they are too old for most pet resorts. Saeedeh was so caring with my old boys. I have a very nervous labrador, and she was so patient and sweet with him. My super senior boy also enjoyed his time in her care. I will definitely feel comfortable with Saeedeh caring for my dogs again.”
“Luana was wonderful! She took great care of my Bishon Frise, Dudley for the weekend. It is obvious that she and her family are dog lovers; their kindness and affection towards Dudley was very much appreciated. I will definitely book w/Luana again.”
“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!”
“Our dog loves visiting Andrea and Ben. They take great care of her and keep us updated throughout her visit. They are kind and relaxed and we are very comfortable leaving our girl with them. We know she will be well taken care of.”

“Avery is a great pet sitter we have used her twice to feed our cat while away,always on time and trustworthy and will follow your instructions to take care of your precious pet. Highly recommended.”
“Rachel is wonderful. Under her care my cat Tinky thrived. Tink developed a middle ear infection right before the Two week Xmas break from school. We had a trip planned to visit family for Christmas. We didn’t know what to do. A friend suggested using rover as they were using rover for their dog during the holidays break. We met Rachael and she put me at ease letting me know she had 4 cats of her own and her mom’s cat had previously had a middle ear infection. I felt confident she would know how to take care of Tinky. And she did. She gave her two kinds of medicine twice a day. Sent photos and updates. I didn’t worry at all because she was so thoughtful, caring and an expert with meds. Tinky was a happy kitty when we got home thank you Rachel.”
“Amanda was fantastic looking after my little fur baby who is settling into a new medication routine. She was always quick to respond and also great at keeping me up to date which was much appreciated!”
“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.”

“Our beloved Sugaree crossed the Rainbow Bridge 3 weeks ago Erika was such a great companion for lonely Usul! We trust her completely—she does an excellent job of taking care of the home and our beloved kitty”
“Our cats are typically on the shy side when meeting new people, but warmed up quickly with David. Which shows he's genuinely great with pets. This would be our 2nd time booking with David, and will definitely book again! Thank you David!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!). My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and excited every time they see me. 🐾 Dogs & Cats * ✅ Oral medication administration * ✅ Topical medication administration * ✅ Injection medication of your pets prescribed medications. * ✅ Senior pet care * ✅ Puppy care * ✅ Kitten care * ✅ Special needs pets * ✅ Basic first aid/emergency recognition * ✅ Mobility assistance * ✅ Feeding (including special diets) * ✅ Exercise & enrichment * ✅ Crate training reinforcement * ✅ Potty break visits Grooming * ✅ Basic brushing * ✅ Teeth brushing * ✅ Ear cleaning * ✅ Nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work flexible per diem shifts, which gives me the ability to provide reliable drop in visits, walks, daytime visits and overnight care throughout the week. I keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, have worked in emergency veterinary medicine, and I’m also a licensed EMT. Staying calm, recognizing emergencies, and paying attention to the little things comes naturally to me. I care for every pet as if they were my own following your routines, respecting your home, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, exercised, and spoiled with plenty of belly rubs (and treats, if approved!). Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, or needs medication, they’re in capable and caring hands.
“Kylie was outstanding. She was punctual, friendly. and above all, obviously liked our cats. We live in a rural-ish area and appreciate her dedication to make it out every day. All the tasks were accomplished wonderfully and we were able to have a worry-free few days away. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.”
“We found Tyrie to be not only naturally good with animals, but also extremely responsible in caring for our home and garden. We were gone for two weeks and returned home to find everything in perfect condition! We will have her back for our next vacation. She's the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered!”
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 pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. 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.

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!”
“Highly recommend Wen, especially if you have an older dog. She takes such wonderful care of my Bernard. She puts so much love and care into watching him, and I can feel at ease knowing he’s getting the special care and attention he needs.”
“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”
“Donna and Mike were so loving and caring for my dog Sedona! She is a puppy and was on her first heat cycle, and Donna and Mike were so caring and knew their way around doggy diapers and gave me tips on how to use doggy diapers more efficiently. They sent me photos throughout the day, and were reliable and communicative. Sedona had a great time with them!”
“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.”
“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 have a good experience caring for senior dogs because I had my own dog who passed away three years ago. He was a 17-year-old Lhasa Apso and had been my best friend since I was born. He was blind and had trouble moving around, so I learned how to help him safely and give him the care and attention he needed. Over the past three years, I’ve also taken care of puppies, active dogs, older dogs, and dogs that needed medication, for quick walks, overnight stays and even long periods such as a 5 week stay. I’ve even cared for kittens and senior cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. Monday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Tuesday: All day (parents home all day) Wednesday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Thursday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Friday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Saturday: All day (parents home all day) Sunday: All day (parents home all day) • Available for dog walking, pet sitting, and daycare. • Can care for pets while parents are home on weekends. • Evening weekday care after school; some flexibility for short walks or check-ins. I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, give medications when needed, and make sure animals are never left alone in unsafe situations. Pets staying at my house will always be one at a time(unless from the same household) to ensure they get my full attention. I have a two-story house with a fenced backyard in a safe neighborhood, and we’re close to a public park for walks and playtime. Pets can enjoy a clean, calm, and secure environment, and owners can trust me to treat their animals with love, attention, and respect at all times.
“Wonderful experience with Lan! We had a last minute daycare request and Lan replied within minutes. She was very kind and took great care of Ozzy. She sent us lots of pictures and videos.”

About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
“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!”

“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!🐾😊”
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.

“Kenna was absolutely wonderful—professional, communicative, and so caring. My pup adored her, and it was clear she went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable. 10/10, I’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have been caring for them longer than I can remember. I’m patient, gentle, caring and communicative. Ever since I was little, I would walk and bathe neighbors dogs, purely for simple enjoyment. I have trained all three of my own dogs and they are very docile and well-behaved. I’m very affectionate towards animals and have a deep love for them, and would treat your dog as if they were my own. I am a college student, so I do still have school as a priority, however I also do have an attentive family who can help out whenever needed as well, but I am usually available and when caring for a dog, I never leave them unattended for more than 2 hours and make time to care properly for them. If caring for a pet in my home, they will be free to roam downstairs and in the backyard. We have a secure fence and a doggy door, however I also would let them outside and play with them or take them to our local dog park if they get along with other dogs. If I was caring for a dog in the owners home, I would run through their usual daily routine after communicating with the owner.
About: I just graduated college with a degree in Animal Science! I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2.5 years and have lots of experience caring for all types of pets. I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as dogs and cats with special medications/diets and behavioral issues. I can cater to any special requests you have and will give them all the pets and attention they want :) I have grown up with dogs my entire life and still have three at home, so I know how to incorporate caring for your pup into my daily routine! I can schedule my day around them or possibly bring them along with me throughout my day. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your home with respect and care. I will keep your house tidy and clean the backyard when necessary.
About: have been around animals my entire life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, my family had three rescue dogs that I helped raise and care for while my parents were busy with work. Watching them grow into perfect, well-behaved family pets has been incredibly amazing to watch. In college, I help care for two cats and two guinea pigs, and this past school year I also pet sat for my neighbor’s two dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my favorite parts of the day. No matter how busy I am, coming home to pets instantly makes my day 100x better!! I genuinely love spending time with animals, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved, and treating them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets. Pet care fits very great into my schedule. I recently started a part-time job, but my hours are flexible and it will not take away much of my availability during the week. I enjoy spending time with animals before and after work, and I am happy to work pet care into my daily routine. As a college student home for the summer, I have a fairly open schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. The only dates I am unavailable are June 27–28, when I will be out of town for the weekend, and July 1–6, when I will be attending a family wedding. Outside of those dates, I am available and excited to provide reliable and wonderful care for your doggos! 🐾 My top priorities are safety, comfort, and making sure each pet feels loved and secure.! I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, exercise needs, medications, and any special requests from owners. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when leaving a pet in someone else’s care, so I make communication a top priority and am happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the entire experience. 😄
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid, I was always watching my neighbors pets. Since then I was a dog dad to a German Shepard/Rottweiler mix. I currently walk dogs on the WAG! app as well and have 18 five star reviews. Pet care fits into my daily routine very well. I am a full time photographer and create a schedule to fit my photography and pet care. I treat all pets as if they are my pet. I love to give pets and scratches but will make sure the pet is healthy and well taken care of. During the walk I make sure to have water and check in with the dog to make sure they aren’t too hot or tired.

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.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!). My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and excited every time they see me. 🐾 Dogs & Cats * ✅ Oral medication administration * ✅ Topical medication administration * ✅ Injection medication of your pets prescribed medications. * ✅ Senior pet care * ✅ Puppy care * ✅ Kitten care * ✅ Special needs pets * ✅ Basic first aid/emergency recognition * ✅ Mobility assistance * ✅ Feeding (including special diets) * ✅ Exercise & enrichment * ✅ Crate training reinforcement * ✅ Potty break visits Grooming * ✅ Basic brushing * ✅ Teeth brushing * ✅ Ear cleaning * ✅ Nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work flexible per diem shifts, which gives me the ability to provide reliable drop in visits, walks, daytime visits and overnight care throughout the week. I keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, have worked in emergency veterinary medicine, and I’m also a licensed EMT. Staying calm, recognizing emergencies, and paying attention to the little things comes naturally to me. I care for every pet as if they were my own following your routines, respecting your home, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, exercised, and spoiled with plenty of belly rubs (and treats, if approved!). Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, or needs medication, they’re in capable and caring hands.
“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!”
“Kelly has been walking our dog for some time now and our dog loves her! She’s friendly, prompt, and you can be sure your dog is in good hands with her. Our dog had a medical issue come up and Kelly was very accommodating with needing to cancel/alter the walks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I have over two years of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I can handle energetic walks, look after puppies, and help senior dogs feel comfortable. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I am attentive to details, build quick connections with pets, and always prioritize their safety and happiness I am currently available any day of the week at any time, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities.
“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”
“I needed a dog walker for a few days while I was out of town and once I met Gabby I knew she'd be a great fit for my dog Rafa. She is on time, has prompt communication, and takes the time to ask all the right questions so she's informed about your dog. Highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I have had three dogs in my lifetime all of different sizes and breeds. I absolutely love spending time with dogs, currently do not have one (just not the right time for me). I have walked my friends dogs for them when they could not make it home and they always are so excited to see me. They bring me so much joy to be around. I am currently not working so I am available any time. If things change I will update my schedule accordingly to what I am able to accommodate. I am not able to have pets in my home at the current moment and I can really only do walks and drop in services currently. I am a very trustworthy person and I treat customers dogs like they are my own and also the customers home as well. If given a key or access I make sure that all doors that I have opened are closed and locked just like it was my home. I have worked in jobs that I have had to have many background checks and also I have been a security guard as well so when I say I am trustworthy I really do mean it.

“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Wen really took special care of Rocket in her home and with her family. I’m so happy he could spend time with her children and I think he really loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Rocket will be back❤️”
“Jie took great care of our dog. Jie was very prompt with replies and took plenty of photos of our dog’s stay. We didn’t have to worry about our dog one bit. Will definitely book again.”
“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!”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.”
“Michael took great care of our two Corgis for the duration of a week. Michael sent videos and gave us updates the entire time. They had a great time and had the opportunity to meet another Corgi (Ollie) and they became friends. They are home now and getting back to their regular routines. Thank you Michael for taking such a great care of our babies.”
“I had to look for a last minute pet sitter for the weekend and Saewon came through. I was nervous leaving my dog overnight but after meeting her I was confident my dog was in good hands. She was very responsive and respectful, she took care of my dog like her own. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. I hope to use her in the future.”
“It has been a tough journey finding care for my senior dogs now that they are too old for most pet resorts. Saeedeh was so caring with my old boys. I have a very nervous labrador, and she was so patient and sweet with him. My super senior boy also enjoyed his time in her care. I will definitely feel comfortable with Saeedeh caring for my dogs again.”
“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!”
“Our dog loves visiting Andrea and Ben. They take great care of her and keep us updated throughout her visit. They are kind and relaxed and we are very comfortable leaving our girl with them. We know she will be well taken care of.”
“1000000% would recommend anyone to Gina! Gina was truly exceptional and wanted to know everything about Penny to provide her the best care possible. She was in constant contact with us and provided many daily pictures and videos. It made us feel at ease that Penny was well cared for while we were away. Thank you so much Gina, Daniel and Daisy! We’ll see you soon ;)”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Sophie!! She sent updates every morning and evening keeping our little hearts at peace while far away from our baby!! Our baby girl is older and requires a little TLC with her diabetes and Katie administered her medication with zero problems!!! I would highly recommend Katie!!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!! Thank you!!!”
“Lee took excellent care of our 4-year-old dog, Daisy, while my fiancé and I were traveling for work. The daily updates, photos, and thoughtful reports gave us total peace of mind, and Daisy came home happy and well cared for. We truly appreciated Lee’s reliability and would highly recommend them.”
“Fantastic fantastic!! Joy did soooo well with Naoko! She updated me several times a day and kept me in the loop! Great communicator and wonderful with pets. I would absolutely ask Naoko for another babysitting booking. No complaints !”
“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“Simply the best. Couldn’t have asked for a more warm, fun, and communicative Rover. Temi had no issues with administering Louie’s medication and did everything to make him feel right at home. She’s a gem and we cannot wait to use her again in the near future! Zero hesitation.”
