“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”
“My generally nervous dog had a great time at Ashley’s and came home looking very relaxed! She sent photo updates and was willing to give my dog her pill. Ashley was very accommodating and seems to really care for the dogs she watches. We would absolutely use her again next time we leave town!”
“My pups were completely at home with Dubele. She is a warm and loving person and I knew that my dogs would be safe with her. Van sent regular videos and photos throughout the day. The frequent contact was SO helpful for me. My dogs and I were recently attacked by two large dogs and so my pups require extra attention and I really appreciate the extra updates. The environment was so calm and comfortable. I could literally see my dogs smiling in their photos. I highly recommend Dubele and Van and will definitely be bringing my dogs back next time I have to travel.”
“Parisa is a wonderful, caring and loving pet-sitter that might even be a dog whisperer! She truly understands what your dog needs and how to gain their trust and love. Mochi, our 1 year old chihuahua mix loved Parisa from the first sight. We left her with Parisa for 7 days. Each day we would get photo and video updates with Mochi taking long walks, meeting new friends, chewing on her favorite treats. We never worried, knowing that Mochi is having time of her life and getting spoiled! Parisa is a true gem, I feel so lucky I have found her.”
“We feel confident that our dogs were in good hands with Natalia. She sent us plenty of updates, was responsive with any questions we had during the boarding, and even followed up after the boarding was over to check in on our pups. We love that she made our dogs part of her family, bringing them to one of her son's activities. This is especially helpful for our younger dog Nicko who really benefits from opportunities to socialize. It was obvious that Nicko and Nola were comfortable with Natalia and that they would enjoy staying in her home again.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“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!”
“I booked Pepper with Ning for boarding and am so thrilled that I found her. She's communicative, sends a lot of updates and videos/pictures, and I appreciated how accommodating she was! Pepper seemed so content and comfortable :) I am looking forward to Pepper's next stay with her!”
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.
“Our doodle pup Lily enjoyed her staycation hosted by Rebecca. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure Lily had a fun and safe visit. This was her first time away from home. Rebecca provided many updates on Lily’s status, and pics of Lily partying with the pack. Needless to say, Lily was a little sad to leaving her BFFs the next morning. She is definitely looking forward to a return visit in the future. Kudos to Rebecca for the professional care provided during Lily’s stay.”
“Ema was amazing with Milo! Her pups were very welcoming as well and I was glad my dog made new friends during his stay. Ema was way to book, she kept me informed with text and photos, asked questions about Milo’s diet and was flexible with a slight change of plans on my end. I definitely recommend her. Thanks Ema for your help this weekend.”
“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.”
“Ly was great and really put me at ease while we were away on vacation. She sent us updates with photos and video. My dog requires insulin injections and they were able to accommodate that. I would definitely book her again.”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“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.”

I look forward to welcoming your kitty and providing the utmost care they deserve!
“Aurora-Jay was an amazing cat sitter. She provided personalized care for my cats and also a beautiful “report card” every time she checked in on them. I could tell they were very happy around her and I felt relaxed knowing she provided care for them while I was gone.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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: Hi! I’m a dedicated cat lover with over three years of hands-on cat care experience, and I’m currently having two fluffy cats. In addition to caring for my own cats, I am also a cat care volunteer at a no-kill shelter, where I work closely with cats of all personalities—shy, playful, anxious, senior, or independent. I truly love this work and have built wonderful connections with the shelter cats through patience, consistency, and respect for their boundaries. I’m known for being detail-oriented, clean, patient, and compassionate. I pay close attention to litter hygiene, feeding routines, behavior changes, and overall comfort—because I know how important the little details are. As someone who has also trusted others to care for my own cats while traveling, I deeply understand the concerns and expectations of cat parents. My goal is to not only care for your cat, but to help you feel completely at ease knowing your cat is in loving and capable hands. I would be honored to care for your cat and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“We love and appreciate Ashley O. so much! My cats run when anyone but us comes into the house but they come out for her and she gives them so much love and sends us great photos and updates. I don’t know what I’d do without her!!!!”
“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.”
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.
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.
“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: I used to be a pre-vet major, and as such have fostered over 10 litters of kittens and many more adults cats over the years! I’ve given medications, fluids, and even bottle-fed; needless to say, I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages and health statuses. Excited to help out with yours!
“loved holly she took care of our cat ace for three days and constantly sent us updates and pictures throughout the day would definitely book with her again”

I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. 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.
“I'm thrilled with the top-notch care Milo (my kitten) received from Karina. Regular updates and photos showcased a happy and content kitty. It's evident Milo was in great hands. I couldn't be happier with the service provided for Milo. Karina was attentive, caring, and Milo looked extremely content and well-cared-for upon my return. Highly recommend Karina. Thank you, Karina. I'm so happy knowing Milo was well taken care of. I will definitely book with you again!”

“Ashley is seriously the best. Having a border collie means lots of care and attention. Ashley knows that and always handles her like the professional that she is. We really really appreciate her !! Ashley is the best sitter and great person in general, no one can compare. Thank you Ashley for everything!”
“This was the first time I’ve ever had someone watch my dog in their home. I can’t begin to express how at ease Nancy & Richard made me. From having a preliminary meet & greet to ease and convenience of arranging my first appointment with them. I knew from their profile, they’d be a great fit for me. Drop off and pick up was quick and easy. My dog was happy to see me but didn’t rush out the door so I know he was happy and content afterwards. During his visit I received a few pictures and updates so I knew he was being very well cared for. Look very forward to booking again!”
“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 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.”
“Shelby was honestly amazing. She honestly exceeded my expectations. She was great with communication about both of my pets and she showed so much love to them.She sent so many pictures and made them feel welcome. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future.”
“I have used a few sitters before but Candi set a néw high bar. He came back with such a smile on his face and was wagging his tail when he came the second time. Candi is the best sitter you need to use for your dog. Thanks. Jeff”
“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!”

For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.

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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

I am very warm and friendly, but also calm and cautious when meeting new critters to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible when we meet. I’ll be sure to arrive on time to any scheduled walks and will happily provide company for any drop-ins/sitting as works best for your schedule!
About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant going on 8 years now. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, administering medications, including injections and I don’t mind exotics. I am currently working so i will be able to work around schedules and my classes are online for now so I can definitely plan my classes around your pets’ schedule. In general, I believe all living beings deserve to be treated with love and respect. Therefore, I will make sure their bowls are clean, they have clean water, access to comfort and safety checks before I leave.

“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Patricia was so great with my Teddy! I never felt worried once while I was away on my trip. She sent me photo updates and every time he looked so comfy and content. I appreciate the one on one time Patricia gave to my pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover.”
“We feel confident that our dogs were in good hands with Natalia. She sent us plenty of updates, was responsive with any questions we had during the boarding, and even followed up after the boarding was over to check in on our pups. We love that she made our dogs part of her family, bringing them to one of her son's activities. This is especially helpful for our younger dog Nicko who really benefits from opportunities to socialize. It was obvious that Nicko and Nola were comfortable with Natalia and that they would enjoy staying in her home again.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“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!”
“I booked Pepper with Ning for boarding and am so thrilled that I found her. She's communicative, sends a lot of updates and videos/pictures, and I appreciated how accommodating she was! Pepper seemed so content and comfortable :) I am looking forward to Pepper's next stay with her!”
“Our doodle pup Lily enjoyed her staycation hosted by Rebecca. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure Lily had a fun and safe visit. This was her first time away from home. Rebecca provided many updates on Lily’s status, and pics of Lily partying with the pack. Needless to say, Lily was a little sad to leaving her BFFs the next morning. She is definitely looking forward to a return visit in the future. Kudos to Rebecca for the professional care provided during Lily’s stay.”
“Shellby is the best person you can book with. She is amazing with communication and the love is unconditional. She is very trustworthy and made sure I had nothing to worry about”
“Angela was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! From start to finish, she communicated effectively, keeping us updated with daily photos and detailed messages about our dog’s well-being. It was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own, giving him plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Her dedication and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“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!”
“We are returning clients as Olha has been a great caretaker to our pup Beckham. He’s so happy to see her when we drop him off and she keeps us connected by sending the most adorable pictures and videos. This last stay our pup was on medication and she had no problem giving him meds as instructed and we were also so grateful that she offered to cook and feed him chicken of her own after I mentioned I forgot to pack it. We were on our way out of town and really appreciated that she was gracious enough to do that.”
“My dogs loved their time (2 weeks) with Jovanny and Robyn! They treated them like their own -- taking them on walks, giving them scratches, letting sit with them. I really appreciated all of the photos and videos -- I think they had way more fun with Jovanny and Robyn than they do at home! Would definitely book with them again!”
“Claudia and her sweet family took wonderful care of our dog. She shared frequent photos throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind while we were at Disneyland. I would highly recommend her.”
“Our dog loves Molly! We had the pleasure of having Molly watch our dog during our wedding weekend and it was our first time trusting someone to watch him. Molly went above and beyond by keeping regular communication (including photo updates) and treated our dog like her own. We're so grateful for Molly's professionalism and care she provided. We trust Molly and plan to contact her again in the future!”
“Niloofar was amazing with my Dobies! My babies can be a handful for 1 person and she handled it like the pro she is :) Thank you for all the pictures, updates a videos. She came in at the last minute after my other sitter canceled and saved me in a difficult time. Thank you 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!”
About: Hi, I’m Emily! We are a loving family of four, my husband, our 10-year-old son, myself, and our very active 13-month-old Shiba Inu, Nala. As dog owners ourselves, we know firsthand how stressful it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dog while you’re away. After recently searching for a sitter for Nala, I realized how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your dog will be safe, loved, and cared for in our home as if they were my own. After spending 25+ years in the telecom industry, I am now a stay-at-home mom, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care for the pets I welcome into our home. Your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day, with their safety, comfort, and happiness always being my top priorities. We are located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in Irvine with several nearby parks and walking trails. Nala enjoys four walks a day, and I am happy to provide the same level of activity for your pup based on their needs, energy level, and routine. We also have a spacious home with a secure, fenced grassy backyard that offers both sunny and shaded areas for dogs to relax, explore, bird watch, or simply enjoy outdoor time. I understand every dog has different routines and comfort levels, so I do my best to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Nala sleeps in a crate at night, but I am happy to accommodate your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements, whether that’s a crate, dog bed, or out in the open. We treat pets like family in our home, so dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and in the spaces they’re used to enjoying if that aligns with your preferences and home rules. I am also happy to follow your dog’s specific care routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, sleep preferences, and any special instructions that help them feel comfortable and secure. I know being away from your pup can be hard, so I’m happy to send regular photo and update check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. To ensure personalized attention and a calm environment, I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup receives lots of one-on-one love and care while staying with us. I do ask that dogs are comfortable around children and other dogs, and are reasonably house-trained and comfortable spending short periods indoors when needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking. I look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family!
