“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”
“Eunice was wonderful with our puppy. This was our first time using Rover and Oakley being a puppy, we were nervous leaving him. Eunice was super sweet and patient with Oakley during the entire stay. Eunice sent detailed updates and pictures throughout his stay. She was also very patient and understanding even when Oakley was anxious and scared causing him to act out of character. She kept Oakley active with walks and socialization with other dogs and Oakley got plenty of petting and affection.”
“We had never left Coco with anyone, this was her first and we were very worried but from the interview to meet us, Coco's response with Patricia was excellent, so it gave us confidence to try to do this. The attention he gave to our Baby was excellent at all times, he let us know the behavior with photos and messages to be calm. We recommend it.”
“Cheryl has been incredibly caring and attentive to my senior dog, Biscuit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She sends daily photos and updates about his activities, which I really appreciate. I can tell she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing reliable and loving dog boarding!”
“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!! 💛”
“Thank you for taking care of Yuki. This is our first time using Rover for our precious baby, so we were super nervous about leaving Yuki to another family. The moment Yuki saw Dubele and Van, I knew right away that Yuki loved them. She has good instincts towards people who love animals and was so excited the first time she met Dubele and Van. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout Yuki’s stay with them. They’re perfect for my Yuki as they only care for one pet family at a time. Thank you again Dubele and Van for spoiling Yuki. I will not hesitate to book again in the future.”
“Holly is amazing! She kept me updated with check ins and pictures throughout my pup’s stay with her! He had a blast! She is so kind and loving with your fur babies! I will definitely re-book soon! Do not hesitate, she’s great!”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“I am so grateful to have found Emq to take care of my puppy while I went out of state! She is super welcoming and friendly! She provided consistent updates which included tons of pictures and videos. This definitely helped ease my anxiety and longing for my puppy while I was away. Drop off and pick up were smooth and quick. I will definitely be a returning customer :D Thank you so much for everything!”
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.
“Amazing service!! My pup was so happy with natalia and she kept me updated the whole time. She made my dog feel as comfortable as possible. It was my dogs first time being left in a new place and he had a great time with Natalia!! 10/10”
“Another wonderful stay with Parisa!!! Parisa sent me updates , photos, and videos of my baby several times a day . It is so reassuring to see my baby so relaxed and having so much fun. I even commented to my hubby that my baby may not want to come home 😁”
“Jovanny and Robyn have watched our Remy girl a few times now and are amazing! We were originally pretty nervous about leaving our dog with a sitter, but now we feel nothing but peace of mind when leaving Remy with them. They send photos and videos multiple times a day. This past time was during Christmas, and they even gave her some Christmas gifts! So cute!😭 They do an excellent job following any instructions you might have and ask if there are any updates/changes every time they watch her. Remy is always so excited to see them when we drop her off, which lets us know they take great care of her and give her all the love when she’s at their place :) highly recommend to any other dog parents out there!”
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”
“I used Rover for the first time. Madison took such good care of my little pup. I have to admit it first I was nervous to leave her with someone that I didn’t know. But immediately I started getting texts and pictures and updates. She made me feel so comfortable. I could tell Sookie was well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“This is the first time Franklin has ever been boarded and he was absolutely spoiled by Helen and her daughter. They took such good care of him that it was a wonderful experience for him. I’ve boarded my other dog with Helen before and it’s always a great experience for my pet. Will definitely use her again as long as she is available. I would have given her more stars if I could.”

“Andrew is super reliable, he takes excellent care of our kitties needs and provides them with great daily playtime. We so appreciate him, he’s a gem and we highly recommend him.”
“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!”
“Ashley is so, so great! All 3 cats let her see them long enough to take photos everyday which is literally miraculous. She is a true animal lover, was super helpful with scheduling and followed all instructions perfectly. So grateful we had her taking care of our fur babies while we were away.”
“Aurora was absolutely wonderful!! She took such great care of Harry and Onyx while I was away, and I could truly tell how much she cared for them. She kept me updated every time she stopped by, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant the world to know they were in such loving and capable hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their cats as if they were her own 💕🐾”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a deaf orange tabby, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, quirks, and unique way of communicating. 🐾 Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I know how important patience, trust, and making them feel comfortable in their own space can be. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I’m here for the cuddles, care, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family!
About: I’ve adored cats since I was little and took care of my sweet cat for 18.5 years, so I have experience with taking care of kittens all the way to super seniors and understand the importance of administering medications as needed. I’ve kitten and cat sat for my friends throughout the years, and I’m the girl who always wants to stop and see the cat every time I pass by one. I look forward to welcoming your kitty and providing the utmost care they deserve!
“Diana was a great petsitter who watched over our 2 cats for a long weekend. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions on how to feed them and administer medicine. She made us feel very comfortable leaving them in good hands!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely respect cats for who they are and understand that they need care that matches their personality and comfort level. I have experience caring for my own cat, a 3-year-old domestic shorthair that my sister and I have had since she was 1, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm environment. I know that some cats are very social while others need more space, and I am attentive to those differences. I am also comfortable with the less glamorous parts of cat care, like keeping litter boxes clean and making sure their space stays tidy, comfortable, and stress-free. I treat cats with the same love and attention I give my own pets, and I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their cat is safe, respected, and well cared for.
About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal friendships and family obligations, and have also owned two dogs of my own; I have a strong affection for dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently not working, which allows me to devote ample time to caring for your dog(s) and providing them with the love and attention they require while in my care. I reside in a secure apartment complex that features gated access, ensuring constant supervision for your pets during walks. Additionally, there is a spacious grassy area where they can freely run and play.
About: I have experience caring for cats and previously had a cat of my own, which helped me understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and providing calm, attentive care, whether that means feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, or simply keeping them company. Since moving to Orange County for school, I’ve enjoyed being able to care for cats through sitting and drop-in visits. As a pharmacy student, I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of routines, ensuring each cat feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away.
“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!”
“Holly was great with our cat Larry! She provided regular updates to keep us in the loop on how he was doing and went out of her way to help him feel comfortable in her home.”

I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.
“Even though my cat is a bit of an introvert who prefers her own company than with a human, Joey still made sure all her needs are taken care of. Joey was also communicative when there are little changes to the visit arrangements.”
“She was amazing with my cats. Two can be shy but they were out for her. My one cat needs meds and I didn’t worry while away from home because I knew they were in great hands. Thank you”

“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!”
“Another awesome day with Nancy and Richard! Kona has so much fun spending the day with them. He is so pampered and loved. I feel so blessed to have found Nancy and Richard to care for Kona!”
“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!”
“It was our first time using Rover. Our fur baby is only 2 months. He’s not potty trained and never been outside our house with strangers. Holly was very patient and sweet to him. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures. She went above and beyond taking him out, bathing him, giving him treats and cuddling him since that’s all he’s used to at home. She was also flexible with us and accepted our reservation the night before. We will definitively reach out to Holly again when we need someone to care for Oreo.”
About: I have been taking care of my own dog since 2016 and have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have several dogs in my family and have regularly dog-sat for friends and relatives since I was a kid. While I don’t currently have time to commit to a full-time dog of my own due to school, I truly enjoy being able to care for and spend time with pets through sitting and walking. I love all animals and am passionate about providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am currently a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability when caring for pets. I provide pet care primarily from Friday through Monday, making me a great option for weekend and extended stays. As a pharmacy student, I spend a lot of time studying at home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and am happy to tailor walks, playtime, and activity levels based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or the owner’s home. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of both pets and their homes. As a pharmacy student, I am detail-oriented and comfortable following care instructions to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for at all times.
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!
“My two dogs had a wonderful time staying at Hanah and Dabin’s beautiful apartment. They were very accommodating and kind, especially since one of my dogs recently had surgery. Also, both of my dogs are needy and suffer from separation anxiety, so they can be a lot to handle. Hanah and Dabin were very communicative and kept me updated with photos, which put me at ease while I was away. I felt safe leaving my dogs with them. Thank you, Hanah and Dabin! I look forward to the next time.”
“I had an excellent experience with Candi. From the initial booking process, she was great at communicating, making sure everything was clear and set for our trip to a local event. Since you can't see the dog sitter's address until you actually reserve your booking, I asked her about the distance between the event and her place. She went the extra mile by looking up various potential locations, such as drop-off points and multiple entrances, which gave us a rough idea of how far it would be. This impressed me and showed her dedication and thoughtfulness. Right from the start, I found Candi to be very trustworthy and transparent. She consistently sent me photos of my boy every other hour, and even asked questions when he wasn't feeling well. Her attention to detail and concern for my son's well-being was truly appreciated. Although this was just a daycare stay, I would feel completely comfortable boarding Mozart with Candi in the future. I highly recommend her services!”

Your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free.

“She did great! We went to Disney for the day and my little Charlie loved it. He got to play with other small dogs all day. Cheryl even hand fed our dog because he gets so excited and anxious that he won't eat. She even sent us pictures of him running around everywhere.”
“First time using Rover and Carolyn took such great care of Nami! She made sure to ask about Nami’s routine and habits so that she would feel more comfortable in her home and Carolyn provided lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I’m super impressed with her open communication and level of care.”
About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy!

“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’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. 🐾 As a proud Lab mix parent, I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their humans are away.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life — caring for dogs and cats has always been second nature to me. At home, I have a 11 years old cat and a 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. With over 10 years of experience, I know how important it is to follow your pet’s routine and keep them feeling safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication when needed, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for like my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m around most of the day to keep pets company. Whether it’s playtime with toys, cuddle breaks between work, or going out for walks, I love having furry friends as part of my daily routine. It’s easy for me to adjust my day around their needs — making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I live in a single family home where pets have plenty of space to play and relax. We have a secure fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time and fun walks. I also walk the dogs 3–4 times a day (they never get bored!) and always keep fresh water out, changing it twice daily. I have two friendly, social cats and a gentle Golden Retriever who loves making new friends — they’re all very dog-friendly and happy to keep your pet company. I don’t usually use crates for my own pets since they’re free to roam and feel comfortable at home, but I can absolutely crate your pet if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel safe. My goal is to make your pet feel at ease and cared for, just like they would at home. 🐾💛

I live in a loft-style apartment with plenty of open space for your dog to stretch out and have fun.
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.
About: I’ve had three cats almost my entire life, and have watched friends’ and neighbors’ cats so I am well versed in making sure they have the care they need! This past year, I got a handful of dog sitting gigs including two hyper golden retrievers and a senior terrier. I’m currently a full time college student home from break looking for something to do to help pay for school! I have full availability open! I am a big rule follower! Please let me know what care your animals need in your home and I’ll follow it to a T.
About: I’m an absolute pet person. Family and friends always ask me to sit for their pets and they don’t think twice or worry about it. My days need to be filled with enjoyment and fun. My availability will absolute work around weekends and we can always make weekdays work 🫶🏽 If you feel completely comfortable with me sitting your pet at your home I will completely respect and follow any and all rules made 😊
“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.”

“Eunice was wonderful with our puppy. This was our first time using Rover and Oakley being a puppy, we were nervous leaving him. Eunice was super sweet and patient with Oakley during the entire stay. Eunice sent detailed updates and pictures throughout his stay. She was also very patient and understanding even when Oakley was anxious and scared causing him to act out of character. She kept Oakley active with walks and socialization with other dogs and Oakley got plenty of petting and affection.”
“We had never left Coco with anyone, this was her first and we were very worried but from the interview to meet us, Coco's response with Patricia was excellent, so it gave us confidence to try to do this. The attention he gave to our Baby was excellent at all times, he let us know the behavior with photos and messages to be calm. We recommend it.”
“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!! 💛”
“Holly is amazing! She kept me updated with check ins and pictures throughout my pup’s stay with her! He had a blast! She is so kind and loving with your fur babies! I will definitely re-book soon! Do not hesitate, she’s great!”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“Amazing service!! My pup was so happy with natalia and she kept me updated the whole time. She made my dog feel as comfortable as possible. It was my dogs first time being left in a new place and he had a great time with Natalia!! 10/10”
“Jovanny and Robyn have watched our Remy girl a few times now and are amazing! We were originally pretty nervous about leaving our dog with a sitter, but now we feel nothing but peace of mind when leaving Remy with them. They send photos and videos multiple times a day. This past time was during Christmas, and they even gave her some Christmas gifts! So cute!😭 They do an excellent job following any instructions you might have and ask if there are any updates/changes every time they watch her. Remy is always so excited to see them when we drop her off, which lets us know they take great care of her and give her all the love when she’s at their place :) highly recommend to any other dog parents out there!”
“Kun did a fantastic job as always! This is my second time leaving Blue with her and I always receive updates and see that she is getting a ton of attention and care. Definitely recommend!”
“Rebecca is fantastic. She recently took care of my boxer mix for about 9 days and sent A LOT of picture updates periodically throughout the day. I loved the pictures and was assured that my dog was in good hands. I He came back to me happy, and healthy. I've been using Rover for about 2years and have been through a handful of sitters. She is the best! I'm so happy I found her. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“This was my first time leaving my girl with someone and I’m so glad I chose Claudia! She did a great job of keeping me updated with photos and videos and keeping me at ease during my Disney trip. My girl had such a great time running around the backyard and playing with other pups, she was pooped when i finally picked her up. We will definitely be returning whenever I book another Disney trip!!”
“OMG! I'm so glad I found Olha, she was awesome!! Thank you so much for taking care of my boy Ben! Olha sent pics & videos and I could see Ben was safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend Olha and I would definitely take Ben back anytime I need pet sitting/boarding :-)”
“This was Chanel’s second stay with Josefina, and once again she took great care of her. I always feel comfortable knowing Chanel is in good hands. Thank you for being so reliable and loving with her!”
“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!”
“Molly was absolutely fantastic with Bentley. Sending me photos every day. I could see how happy and at home he was with her so much so that he was reluctant to leave! I will definitely use Molly again, I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Bells and her doggie Prince deserve 100 stars!!! (if I could give them to her). My dog Marley has been emotionally very difficult to board at other homes. He has not been able to be comfortable at all outside of his home. Bells (and Prince) were warmly welcoming and wholeheartedly loving to our dog. Can’t say enough how grateful I am. 100%”
“Before Wen, I boarded my dog at Paw Sweet Paws, rarely saw him on the "live camera" and he came back skinny, dirty, lethargic for days, and later got sick. I was too scared to take another family trip for 3 years. So I decided to try in-home boarding for the first time and picked Wen based on her high number of positive reviews. They were correct! Wen updated me daily during 2 week trip, sent pictures daily, and responded quickly via text. I'm so glad to have met a kind patient dog sitter like Wen that I can't wait to plan another trip with my family.”
“My dog always comes home so happy and content after being in Nickole's care :) She's always great about updating me throughout the stay. I'm never worried as I know he's is in good hands!”
