“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛”
“The boys love their stay at Patricia. It's their 2nd time already. Patricia is very good with communication, keep us updated with photos and flexible with her schedule.”
“I felt at peace leaving my dog babies with Ning. She sent frequent videos and photos. She communicated very well and made sure my pets had their needs met. I could tell my pets felt comfortable with her and that she really is a warm person and animal lover.”
“I'm so glad to have found Bennie and Jennie! I boarded my cat with them in their home for the second time and will continue to book them again in the future. Their communication is excellent and they send wonderful updates throughout the day which gives you peace of mind while you're away. There is a reason they have SO many stellar reviews on here, they truly are the best!”
“First time using Rover and Kathy was absolutely the perfect dog mom for my nervous & quirky crazy little chi-poo! Her home was spotless and very dog friendly and welcoming. Had a great experience and would definitely recommend her!!”
“Wonderful experience! They treated our pup like family and our pup obviously loved them! They are quick to respond and send pictures whenever you want! We were in another state and felt so comfortable with our pup being watched by such caring people!”
“Isla had the BEST time! I got pics and videos and updates daily and it was always the highlight of my day getting to see what kind of fun Isla was getting up to with her friends. I’m so grateful to find Tami and we will be booking again! Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large. I currently work part time and am able to do dog walks when needed. I also can board dogs at my home and walk them before and after shifts. I have a fenced yard where dogs can room for a potty break. I have experience with senior dogs and am able to administer medication. I love all dogs and have experience with small, delicate dogs.
“Foxy was happy with Candi and she was responsive and kind. Sent so many pictures to let us see she was fine. Both my sitters on Rover were wonderful I would not hesitate to use again. Thank you so much. Totally recommend.”
“Josefina was responsive and took good care of Harry my pup. Glad to hear he was not reactive with the other dogs in her care as he usually is when we're out in public.”
“Diana was amazing with our dog, Bug! She frequently sent us updates and took great care of our pup. Would highly recommend her boarding services, and we look forward to working with her again :)”
“I recently left my puppy, Cosmo, with Rebecca for a one-day and overnight trial stay—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Incredibly proactive, she not only ensured he was well cared for, but even worked on his leash training while he was with her. What truly set her apart was the level of attentiveness and love she showed Cosmo. He was watched over the entire time, and I received countless pictures and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that he was not just being cared for, but truly loved. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism, training support, and genuine affection for dogs, I highly recommend her. I'm feeling much more confident about my upcoming longer trip knowing Cosmo will be in such capable and caring hands.”
“We are so grateful to Jenni for looking after Mochi while we were away on our cruise. She sent us photos and videos to keep us updated on how Mochi was doing; thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind!”
“My dog Apollo had a great time staying with JK! He was well entertained while I was away and when my dog’s old harness broke they even had an extra one for him to use. I would let Apollo stay with them anytime!”
“Ashley has been wonderful with Baxter. I have used her a couple of times now. The last time I dropped Baxter off, he didn't want to say goodbye to me. As much as it may have hurt my feelings, I know he was happy to stay with her. LOL”
About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
“Claudia & her whole family took care of our dog like he was their own, which allowed us to vacation with ease! She is just a few minutes from Disneyland. We would definitely book with Claudia again. She sent so many videos and photos!!! Super grateful!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Santa Ana
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to give your cat plenty of love, care, and companionship so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“This was our first time leaving our cats for an extended trip, and Mable made us feel completely at ease from day one. Her detailed visit reports and photo updates were incredible - we could tell how much time and care she put into every visit. She played with their favorite toys, brushed them, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. Finding someone you trust with your pets is everything, and Mable is absolutely that person for us. We are beyond grateful!”
“Carrisa is amazing! She was very communicative and I was really happy with the service she provided which helped me have peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
“This was our first time booking a cat sitter through Rover, and Andrea made everything very easy for us. She was reliable and followed our instructions well. She sent us pictures during her check-in with our pet. We will definitely be rebooking Andrea in the future!”
About: Cats chose me. Eleven years ago, I found an abandoned kitten in a VW bus nestled in a cardboard box. I took him home. Took him to the vet the next day. And then made him a permanent member of my family. Two months later, half a dozen feral cats kept showing up on my roof. So I made a kitty-patio for them with beds, plants, food, and water. I fed these cats for 7 years until I had to move. In 2020, I found a very sick ginger tabby under my car. He was only 3 pounds and had feline herpes. I immediately took him to the vet and vowed to fight for him. He made it. And he is one of the joys of my life - Leroy. A very big boi now at 16 pounds of pure love and snuggles. All to say, I adore cats. But cats need to feel safe with you in their presence. A mutual trust needs to be formed, and I am patient in allowing that to happen. Then I will be giving them all the scratchies they want! I am 100% comfortable with all litter box emptying/cleaning/deep cleaning, feeding, brushing, trimming nails, and nose boops.
About: Growing up we took in an abandoned cat who wanted nothing to do with us. We spent years putting out food and water, slowly building his trust to bring him into our home. At 21, I took on the task of adopting a pregnant cat. She had 4 kittens and I spent so much of my time making sure they were all safe and healthy. Part of this responsibility meant finding them a foster program that would get them forever homes. After all the kittens got adopted, I adopted the mamma cat. She’s been with me for the past four years, and lives her best indoor life.
“Tessa took care of our cat Olivia for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation. She came in to visit and care of Olivia once a day. She was absolutely fantastic. She provided daily updates with photos to us. It was clear that Olivia adored Tessa and could not wait for her daily cuddles. Tessa is a kind and warm person who loves animals. I hope she can take care of our pet next time we are out of town. Tessa, thank you for being so amazing!”
“Kimi was fantastic and our kitties were very happy under her care. She was great at giving our cat medication which involved an inhaler. She also sent lots of cute photos of our cats! We definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: Hi! The best part is that I’m not allergic to any animal so I can spend time with your furry friend! I’ve had 2 of my own cats for several years now and one of them dealt with medical conditions since they were a kitten so I provide them with special care if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs (mastiffs, labs, and basset hounds) since I was a kid and have regularly cat-sit for family members and friends since I was 14. From giving medicine to cleaning up accidents I’ve probably handled anything your pet could throw at me before, and if they manage to give me something new I’m happy to learn! I work full time in a corporate office so I’m available outside the hours of 8:30a-5:30p (most days) to check up on your pets. I’m more than happy to make drop in visits on my lunch if I can! I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible when I’m there! Treating your pet how you normally treat them is super important to me, and if for some reason I don’t think I’d be able to support your pet in their needs I’ll let you know right away so you can find a more appropriate sitter.
“Carolina did an amazing job with my pup. She’s played with him as well as fed him. She also made sure that I was updated and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her and will definitely hire her again for Koda.”
“Patricia was awesome! I have a super anxious cat who can get agressive in stressful situations, and she knew exactly how to handle him. She was very thorough in the meet and greet and prompt with her replies. She was even able to extend her service when my return got delayed last minute. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of cats, I grew up in a household that always took in local strays. I understand the need to stick to a routine for cats, breakfast/dinner must always be on time! As well as, the importance of keeping their litter boxes clean. I have experience administering medication orally and I am always trying to understand the language of cats.

“Beth and Sean (and Sunny) welcomed Kenzie into their home for a couple of daytime sittings. They sent plenty of updates and pictures of her stay, which was great. Very appreciative that they accepted a booking on short notice, as well. Thank you for caring for her!”
“Michelle was great with Leonardo. She has a genuinely good vibe about her and was very welcoming to show me how her home is dog-friendly. Her home is comfortable and clean. I felt safe leaving Leonardo with her and she even helped me with cleaning up Leonardo’s hair that was covering his eyes. I appreciated that. Thank you, Michelle. I would love for her to watch Leonardo again! =)”
“Hanah is wonderful & took such good care of my boy, Bruce. She’s a very good communicator & would send updates through out the day. Bruce got along with Evan & had such a good day. I was so happy with her care, I already booked additional days with them. They took the stress out of my day by caring so well for my boy. Very happy with Rover for helping me to find them.”
“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”
“My puppy, Python, loves going to Ashley's house! She has been Python's sitter since shortly after I got her at 6 weeks old. She's almost 5 months now, so Ashley's is like her home away from home. Ashley does great grooming, pays attention to and knows my puppy really well! She's reliable, caring, accommodating, and communicates well. I'm grateful to have her support in caring for my puppy!”
“Nancy and Richard were so accommodating with our puppy. She loved playing ball with them and sight seeing from their patio. They were very gracious in dealing with the high energy that comes with caring for a puppy! We hope to book with Nancy and Richard again!”
“Patricia is absolutely fantastic! She was a true life saver when we got our puppy, not realizing how young the puppy was and that it couldn't be created yet while we were at work. She understood that the puppy would take more attention and care than some of her other clients and Patricia was very committed to giving our pup what she needed. She also gave us some great tips for first time puppy owners. Another great thing is her scheduling for drop off and pick up is very flexible. We continue to use her although our girl is spending more time at home. We appreciate her very much.”
“This is the second time we have used Hector to care for our fur babies. As always he was so kind and loving. Above all he was very communicative and kept us in the loop throughout their entire stay. I love being updated on their walks and the “ and now we r napping and watching the news” messages. Thank you again hector. We appreciate you :)”
“Candi is the best! Top of the line communication, lots of photos and videos. Lehua cam home happy and tired which is just what we wanted. If you’re looking for daycare while you’re at the parks, Candi is the best! Thanks for taking such great care of our baby!”

“Rebecca was very thoughtful in how she took care of our little guy. She let the dogs take naps in their own space while also having very safe playtime and sent us pictures throughout. She’s a lifesaver as we have been looking for a sitter for a while. Thanks so much to her and her husband for caring for him! My girlfriend adores Aloo and was so nervous to find a new sitter for him but felt so much better after meeting Rebecca and seeing that Aloo was in great company. We are so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to bring him back!”

“Molly was a great sitter for our baby Chanel. We can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. We loved that she sent us pictures of our dog while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Hands down, the best and nicest dog sitter out there! I really love how Samantha is so caring towards my baby girl, she would reply super quick. And by super quick, I mean within minutes sometimes seconds. Although it was my first time using a sitter, I know what to expect in the future and Samantha has set the bar up high. To be honest, I think I won’t even look for another sitter if needed in the future, I will book Samantha again. If you ask for an update throughout the day, Samantha will get back to you super quick with a picture or pictures. Samantha will literally take good care of you and your fur baby, and she knows how important your Fur baby means to you. And she will literally try her very best to accommodate your requests! Thank you Samantha, you’re the best of the best!”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!
“Holly was an amazing caregiver for my fur baby! She was welcoming and loving and constantly sent updates and photos! She did a great job communicating, was prompt in responding, spending time with Koa, and caring for her overall. You could tell Koa loved being with Holly and enjoyed her time there. Highly recommend!! :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so I have over 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their body language, recognize when they’re feeling stressed or playful, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own.

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule.

I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and supervision while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.
“Thanks Rebecca! Rebecca did such an amazing job! Rocket and Benji misses her already! Love all of the detailed info from the walk and how you took care of them by wetting the dog run area and giving them extra water.”
“Andrea is a amazing sitter and dog walker. My dog and cats love seeing her. She's caring, detail oriented, and just plain loves these animals. She even left a thank you card for us, highly recommend!”
About: Hi there, I’m Carissa! My deep love for animals began at a young age, as I grew up sharing a crib with a lively orange tabby who was always watching over me. Right now, I have a sweet tabby boy named Torito. My beloved childhood dog, Pepper, passed away last year after a long battle with heart disease and I'm learning to adjust to her absence day by day. I’m eager for more furry companionship and have lots of love to give! ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° Over the years, I've cared for stray and feral cats in my backyard, as well as cats and dogs of all ages, some of whom have had various health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, thyroid disease, anxiety, deafness, blindness, and mobility issues. I've rescued and rehomed stray dogs to loving forever homes on multiple occasions. As a teenager, I volunteered as a weekly cat tender at PetSmart and Petco for two years, which gave me a ton of great experience working with cats of all ages and personalities! I understand trusting someone with your cherished companion can be difficult, which is why I'll provide you with regular updates, including plenty of pictures and videos, so you can feel connected to them while they're in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priorities, and I can guarantee that they’ll be in the best care with me ૮ • ﻌ - ა ⟢ Please note: I only service dogs under 50 lbs, non-reactive/non-aggressive animals, and fixed animals! ⟢ Hablo español. I’m currently doing Rover part-time so I have a fairly open schedule…weekdays or weekends - I’m your girl! I typically work part-time Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday but can accommodate your request before or after my shifts. I have full availability on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. My inbox is open and attended to from 8am to 7pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about my availability as it can vary! I would love to get to know you + your furry friend and make them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ₊˚⊹♡ ⟢ For drop-ins/house sitting: If you have specific covid precautions, please let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Meet-and-greets must be scheduled PRIOR to booking to ensure that we are a good fit for one another. As a safety concern, I am not comfortable with indoor cameras and request that you disclose of any prior to booking a house sitting. I also water plants and make sure packages/mail are brought inside safely. ⟢ For walks: I prioritize safety with leashed walks and only take dogs to fenced areas for off-leash play when asked. I work with one client’s animals at a time rather than doing large group walks so your pup will have my full attention!
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past year, and I’ve also pet‑sat for my family members’ dogs whenever they’ve needed help. Those experiences taught me how to be patient, attentive, and consistent. I’m responsible and dependable, and I always make sure pets get the same level of care and comfort they’re used to at home. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I love building my routine around caring for pets and keeping them happy and active! I work hard to provide a safe, welcoming environment for every dog I care for! I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore, plus a friendly dog of my own who loves company. My younger brothers are great with pets and enjoy playing with them under my supervision. If a dog needs structure or downtime, I can easily crate them based on the owner’s preference. I always follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family still regularly trust me to take care and look after their favorite family members. I have only had big dogs but also am requested to care for a friend's corgi when they are away. I have experience in training my own dogs and working with dogs of all sizes and stages of life. I currently work full-time but work a fairly flexible schedule. I am available early mornings to take your favorite family member on a walk, or in the afternoons if your pup prefers. When I first meet you and your pup I always tend to take extensive notes and ask questions as needed. Ensuring your favorite family members' safety is my utmost priority. It is my goal to ensure that your pup is cared for and spoiled always. Each pup is unique and has their own set of needs and I am willing and able to listen and abide by all of them to ensure that they are healthy and safe for many years to come.
About: I’m the person that tries to find the pet at the party. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats for several years!

About: I am a detail oriented and passionate pet person, I grew up in a home that always had at least one dog. I understand the importance and level of care needed to care for puppies that are still training.

I am available anytime after 7am until 5pm Sunday-Monday! I am very detail oriented when it comes to pet care, I believe that our care for our pets is a reflection of our care for ourselves. I love to give extra attention and love to my pets at home, and when I am caring for a clients animal, I treat them as my own. Sticking to a routine, attention to change in mood or behavior, and being consistent is extremely important for a pets wellbeing.

“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛”
“The boys love their stay at Patricia. It's their 2nd time already. Patricia is very good with communication, keep us updated with photos and flexible with her schedule.”
“I felt at peace leaving my dog babies with Ning. She sent frequent videos and photos. She communicated very well and made sure my pets had their needs met. I could tell my pets felt comfortable with her and that she really is a warm person and animal lover.”
“Wonderful experience! They treated our pup like family and our pup obviously loved them! They are quick to respond and send pictures whenever you want! We were in another state and felt so comfortable with our pup being watched by such caring people!”
“Isla had the BEST time! I got pics and videos and updates daily and it was always the highlight of my day getting to see what kind of fun Isla was getting up to with her friends. I’m so grateful to find Tami and we will be booking again! Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Josefina was responsive and took good care of Harry my pup. Glad to hear he was not reactive with the other dogs in her care as he usually is when we're out in public.”
“I recently left my puppy, Cosmo, with Rebecca for a one-day and overnight trial stay—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Incredibly proactive, she not only ensured he was well cared for, but even worked on his leash training while he was with her. What truly set her apart was the level of attentiveness and love she showed Cosmo. He was watched over the entire time, and I received countless pictures and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that he was not just being cared for, but truly loved. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism, training support, and genuine affection for dogs, I highly recommend her. I'm feeling much more confident about my upcoming longer trip knowing Cosmo will be in such capable and caring hands.”
“My dog Apollo had a great time staying with JK! He was well entertained while I was away and when my dog’s old harness broke they even had an extra one for him to use. I would let Apollo stay with them anytime!”
About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
“Claudia & her whole family took care of our dog like he was their own, which allowed us to vacation with ease! She is just a few minutes from Disneyland. We would definitely book with Claudia again. She sent so many videos and photos!!! Super grateful!!!”
“Natalia was amazing and took such good care of our two dogs. Our one dog who is usually mopey and refuses to walk was even perked up and willing to walk with her! She sent us pictures and was very flexible with our uncertain timing. I’d definitely use her again!”
“Yvonne was caring and very sweet with my pup. He is only 3mo old and needs a lot of attention, which he most certainly received at her house. I will 100% ask her to look after my pup again!”
“We were lucky to find Holly when we decided to go to Disneyland while we were traveling with our sweet pup Tukker. Holly lives only 10 minutes away from Disney and makes it really convenient for those who need a place for pup to go while on vacation. Highly recommend her.”
“Doug took wonderful care of Bowey! Bowey had a great time and he even got to meet some furry friends while he’s there. Doug was super responsive and the process from booking to pickup was a breeze. We will definitely book with him again, thank you!”
“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!!”
About: I love hanging out with animals of all sizes and breeds, playing with cats and walking and jogging with dogs. It brings me joy to spend time with animal friends and meet their needs in a caring, supportive environment. I have time in the very early morning and on weekday evenings, and on weekends anytime for regular dog walks or runs, check ins or weekend visits. I am very responsible and respectful of individual preferences and styles. I follow instructions and remember the details on how your pet is special. I take notes! My apartment is super animal friendly with access to a fenced yard with grass. Decorating in my apartment is minimalist so pets can be comfy and spread out. I have a bathtub and deep kitchen sink if any bathing is required.
