“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“I cannot rave enough about Nicole. She responded to my request immediately, was extremely flexible, kind, and professional, and made my dog who can be very anxious extremely comfortable. She sent me cute pics of my pup throughout the weekend at the beach, playing with other new dog friends, and getting lots of love and attention. It made our family vacation so much better having peace of mind knowing our dog was being well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Nicole the next time we are in the Newport Beach area!”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“I truly can’t recommend Hyo Yi highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bodhi, and seemed to genuinely love spending time with him. She also sent photos and a detailed update about him every day of our trip, which I really appreciated. Bodhi came home so happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her dog sit for us again! 🤍🤗”
“Bennie and Jennie were amazing in taking care of my 2 cats, Yoshi and Bubbles. They were great in sending updates, photos and videos that reassured me. So grateful that they made my cats comfortable in their home. I would definitely rebook with them when I need trustworthy sitters to take care of cats.”
“This was the first time Doug watched my dog and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. I really appreciated how welcoming he was for our pup to be a part of his home and how comfortable the pup seemed during his stay. Doug seemed to take great care of our dog and provided updates about how he was settling in which was also very reassuring. I’ll be checking his availability the next time I’m looking for a sitter. Thank you so much, Doug!”
“Ning took wonderful care of my dog, Lulu! She sent me lots of videos and updates throughout the stay, keeping me informed about Lulu's meals, walks, and overall well-being. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such caring hands. Lulu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. I highly recommend Ning and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Words can’t describe how phenomenal Connie was with my puppy!! I had to extend my boarding last minute and Connie happily took him another night. She took time to train with him and sent pictures and videos with updates. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. I actually learned new things to implement with my puppy! I couldn’t have asked for a better human to care for my dog. Highly recommend Connie☺️ Finn had a great time. Thank you!”

“Emily took great care of Bailey, was attentive to her needs, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Bailey seemed happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care she gave Bailey and would definitely book with her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Melanie was amazing! She took such great care of our wild, spunky Frenchie and made us feel totally at ease. She sent us updates throughout his stay and spoiled him with so many toys and lots of love! We’re so thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“We are so happy we found Temi! We were going on vacation for 10 days and our original dog sitting plans fell through. We needed to quickly find a dog sitter for our rescue dog, Lucky. Our initial meeting with Temi was awesome! Her sweet and bubbly personality was the first thing we noticed. Lucky immediately felt comfortable around her. We decided to do a one- night trial run to see how Lucky would do. Everything went great so we were fully confident Lucky would be in good hands during our vacation. We got back from our vacation last week and needless to say, Lucky had a great time with Temi for 10 days. Temi sent us daily updates and pictures so we didn't have to worry at all and allowed us to focus on having fun. Temi kept Lucky active with trips to the park and beach, and pup cups at Starbucks! We will absolutely use Temi again the next time we need a sitter. You can be 100% confident your dog will love her!”
“Vi took great care of Rosie while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing Rosie was in good hands. We would definitely trust her to watch Rosie again and highly recommend her to others.”
“We cannot thank Annie enough. Our dog required medication and a carefully managed diet while recovering from pancreatitis, and Annie handled everything with such professionalism and compassion. She monitored her closely, communicated frequently, and truly went above and beyond. We felt incredibly supported and confident in her care.”

“Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was responsive and super easy to communicate with, and took lots of pictures and videos of my furbaby for me! She also handled my cat's weekly allergen injections and did a wonderful job describing how the shot went and how he reacted. I felt so assured and comfortable knowing Rachel was checking on my cat while I was gone.”
“Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled.

Wonderful sitter, would 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!”
“Kailyr was amazing! Not only did she take great care of our little guy, she also managed some ants (eek!) and managed to keep Buck cool and happy during a heat wave. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”

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!

“Zhaoyang is a lifesaver! I left the care of my cats with my roommate, but he's an idiot and didn't do a good job. I was overseas, frantically looking for someone who could drop in and care for my babies. Zhaoyang stepped in, knew exactly what to do, no additional instructions were needed. She's smart, timely and cares for animals. I highly recommend her.”

About: Though my main career is based in healthcare for humans, I do have 2 years experience working as a veterinary technician! I’m familiar with both dogs and cats species, as well as many breeds. I’m very familiar with monitoring the health and behavior of your pets and am also trained in administering medications if necessary. Knock on wood that training won’t need to be used, but rest assured that your loved ones are in good hands!

“I appreciate Joshua's quick communicating on short notice. We were able to have a nice chat when I dropped off my dogs and make sure everything was okay with his 2 dogs. My booking that day was a pretty long one and he had no problem stepping up to help out. He also took my dogs out for a run, even though I did not ask that from him because it was above and beyond. He happily met my request for extra precaution to block off/shore up the perimeter on the side of house because I was a little concerned about the gate/fence latch that had 1 fastener loose. After I picked my Huskies up late evening, they were even more calm than usual about coming home and winding down for bedtime. Whatever magic Joshua worked, it was much appreciated!”
“Kaela totally exceeded my expectations! This was my rescue’s first time being dog sat in someone else’s home, and Kaela made sure to make it as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: Hi! I’m Jiji — an active, attentive pet caregiver who loves working with dogs, especially high-energy ones. I’m confident handling energetic breeds and currently help care for a Husky, and we regularly go on 5-mile runs together to keep both body and mind fully exercised. I’m comfortable running, jogging, and staying active with dogs who need real movement, while always prioritizing safety, awareness, and positive energy. I’m calm, detail-oriented, and very tuned in to animal behavior, which helps dogs feel secure and understood. Whether your dog needs a steady jog, structured exercise, or simply an engaged, reliable companion, I treat every dog like my own. Alongside dog care. I’m also a lifelong cat mom with extensive feline experience. I currently care for five Bengal cats, managing individual feeding routines, administering medication through wet food, providing enrichment playtime, and even taking them on safe outdoor walks. I’m experienced with cats at every life stage, from playful kittens to seniors who need extra patience and care. Outside of pet care, I’m an active person, triathlete, and surfer, so I genuinely enjoy keeping pets moving and happy. My goal is simple: to give your pets reliable care, thoughtful attention, and genuine affection while you’re away. I am the primary caregiver for our 11-year-old daughter. My preferred weekday availability is 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Mondays to Thursdays and weekend hours can be arranged upon request. For every visit, I carefully follow your instructions, including cleaning the litter box and maintaining your pet’s routine. If medication is needed, I’m experienced and attentive in administering it. I tailor playtime and affection to each pet’s personality—whether they love to cuddle or prefer quiet companionship. My top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times.
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.
“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m active, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with your pets. I can adjust to their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.

About: I have had pets for my entire life (and that's a long time). I have been fostering puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for the last several years. I am now a newly empty nest Mom with a very quiet house. In all my years having family pets, like you are now, I always found a private sitter to care for my animals while I was away. I believe pets are not meant to be boarded if it can be avoided. I am a newly empty nest, stay at home Mom with lots of time, energy and space to care for puppies/dogs and kittens/cats. We have a large, two story home with a fully fenced back yard and side pet door that leads to a fully enclosed run. While in my care your pet(s) will be cared for with love, kindness and consistency from your home to ours. A seamless "vacation" at home.
“Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.”
“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
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: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all 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 who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. 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:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

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 am a lover of all animals and am lucky enough to currently have two dogs and a cat! I have always been surrounded by animals- horses, dogs, cats, bunnies and currently have two young and active border collies, Bootsy and Booker that are my world and so much fun!. One thing my animals love is consistency and a regular schedule of doing things and I understand that they need that in order to feel comfortable and safe- especially while their humans are away! I am both comfortable with big dogs with lots of energy or mellow little pups who just need some cuddles. Administering medication via pill or liquid form is no problem as I have lots of experience with pet meds. Your furry friends will be in very responsible and loving hands while you are gone! I work from home and own my own candle company so I am super flexible with my schedule. I can do weekdays or weekends- even last minute is usually no problem! Long term stays are also possible. I would love to set up a Meet & Greet so I can get to know you, your animals and what you expect during my stay. Being a neat person, I will always leave your home clean and I have no problem watering plants as well. Currently, I don't offer boarding at my house, but would be happy to come to your house and stay overnight or drop in for play time while you are away- whatever your current situation calls for. I am a detail oriented person and find the little things important for pets- whether it be walking the same walk they do day in and day out, or adding just the right amount of warm chicken stock to their food. I totally get it and am happy to be there for your animals and you!
About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine! Caring for your fur baby’s will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur baby’s needs!
About: I’ve taken care of my pet dog for the past 8 years. I love taking my dog on long walks and playing with him. I have also been trusted with pet sitting my neighbors cats and dogs. I’m currently a Senior college student at UCI. I’m free almost all day on Tuesday's, Wednesdays, Fridays and on the weekends! I have a relatively flexible schedule I walk my dog every day whether it’s going on a hike or walking around the neighborhood. I also feed, fill up the water bowl and play with my dog everyday.
About: Though my main career is based in healthcare for humans, I do have 2 years experience working as a veterinary technician! I’m familiar with both dogs and cats species, as well as many breeds. I’m very familiar with monitoring the health and behavior of your pets and am also trained in administering medications if necessary. Knock on wood that training won’t need to be used, but rest assured that your loved ones are in good hands! PLEASE NOTE: At the moment I do not have any dogs with me here, they currently live with my sister. If having other animals in the home concerns you, rest assured that will not be a problem. I’m available for the mornings and latter part of the day I can be available for your last-minute trips and weekend needs! Need to take your kids to practice? Leave your loved one with me! Have to visit family over the weekend? Don’t worry I’m around! I’ll follow your instructions to the letter and leave your pets and your home in the exact, if not better way than you left it.

“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“I cannot rave enough about Nicole. She responded to my request immediately, was extremely flexible, kind, and professional, and made my dog who can be very anxious extremely comfortable. She sent me cute pics of my pup throughout the weekend at the beach, playing with other new dog friends, and getting lots of love and attention. It made our family vacation so much better having peace of mind knowing our dog was being well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Nicole the next time we are in the Newport Beach area!”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“I truly can’t recommend Hyo Yi highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bodhi, and seemed to genuinely love spending time with him. She also sent photos and a detailed update about him every day of our trip, which I really appreciated. Bodhi came home so happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her dog sit for us again! 🤍🤗”
“This was the first time Doug watched my dog and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter. I really appreciated how welcoming he was for our pup to be a part of his home and how comfortable the pup seemed during his stay. Doug seemed to take great care of our dog and provided updates about how he was settling in which was also very reassuring. I’ll be checking his availability the next time I’m looking for a sitter. Thank you so much, Doug!”
“Ning took wonderful care of my dog, Lulu! She sent me lots of videos and updates throughout the stay, keeping me informed about Lulu's meals, walks, and overall well-being. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such caring hands. Lulu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. I highly recommend Ning and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Words can’t describe how phenomenal Connie was with my puppy!! I had to extend my boarding last minute and Connie happily took him another night. She took time to train with him and sent pictures and videos with updates. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. I actually learned new things to implement with my puppy! I couldn’t have asked for a better human to care for my dog. Highly recommend Connie☺️ Finn had a great time. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every pet. 🐾 As both a mother and a pet mom, caring for others is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of trust, patience, safety, routines, and attention to detail. Your pet will be cared for like part of my own family with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive to your pup’s needs throughout the day. 🐾 Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention while your pup is boarding with me. I have a cozy, secure space and two small furry friends of my own who are friendly and enjoy the company of other pets. 🐾 I also have young adult kids who are animal lovers, so your little critter will have plenty of extra love, attention, and helping hands during their stay. Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️
“Emily took great care of Bailey, was attentive to her needs, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Bailey seemed happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care she gave Bailey and would definitely book with her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Melanie was amazing! She took such great care of our wild, spunky Frenchie and made us feel totally at ease. She sent us updates throughout his stay and spoiled him with so many toys and lots of love! We’re so thankful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“We are so happy we found Temi! We were going on vacation for 10 days and our original dog sitting plans fell through. We needed to quickly find a dog sitter for our rescue dog, Lucky. Our initial meeting with Temi was awesome! Her sweet and bubbly personality was the first thing we noticed. Lucky immediately felt comfortable around her. We decided to do a one- night trial run to see how Lucky would do. Everything went great so we were fully confident Lucky would be in good hands during our vacation. We got back from our vacation last week and needless to say, Lucky had a great time with Temi for 10 days. Temi sent us daily updates and pictures so we didn't have to worry at all and allowed us to focus on having fun. Temi kept Lucky active with trips to the park and beach, and pup cups at Starbucks! We will absolutely use Temi again the next time we need a sitter. You can be 100% confident your dog will love her!”
“Vi took great care of Rosie while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing Rosie was in good hands. We would definitely trust her to watch Rosie again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Nathan, Paula, and their girls took such great care of our dog. Leaving your dog with someone is never easy, but the second we walked into their home we knew this was the perfect place for Korra. They have such a thoughtful setup for the dogs they watch. They took the time to understand Korra’s personality and her needs to figure out how her stay would look like. We received multiple updates every day and could tell that they were treating Korra with the utmost care and affection. Between the long walks and cuddles from the girls, we were sure Korra wouldn’t want to come back. We would 100% book with Nathan & Paula again for the peace of mind of knowing that our pup is well loved and being treated like family.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Jordan was amazing! Indy loved her, had a lot of fun on her walks, and came back happy! I will definitely book with Jordan again, her flexibility and communication and obvious enjoyment of her work was great!”
“Top line: Lisa is absolutely AMAZING and a wedding day saver! 11/10 recommended and would trust her over and over again with our girls. She is beyond sweet and a true animal lover. Complete review: Originally our fur babies were going to be a part of our big day; however, we had to pivot our plans. Our fur-babies are so special and have not stayed with one other than immediate family. Trusting a “stranger” is scary. Nonetheless, we are so happy we found her. Lisa is extremely communicative and sends the cutest updates. Our girls had THE BEST time with her. She was so loving to them that our doodle (Venus) was no impressed by seeing me after 2 days :’( lol. Lisa, thank you from the bottom of our ♥️ you’re heaven sent❤️”
