“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Anytime I travel I can leave my dogs with Candi and not have to worry. She is great with sending updates and making my dogs feel at home! The house is dog friendly with a great yard for them to run around. So happy to have her care for my pups! ❤️”
“Jenni was dedicated to keeping me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and texted me about his meals, bathroom breaks, and naps. My puppy loved her so much that he didn’t want to leave. He even met some friends, and from the pictures, it looked like he was having a wonderful time. I’m truly grateful to have met Jenni and look forward to seeing her again.”
“Our German Shepherd Jinx loves boarding with the family of Bernard and Hung. They take the best care of her and we always know she's in a happy safe place 💕”
“My dog had a wonderful time! She was in such goods hand, was taken care of and completely spoiled with love, attention, and walks. Eunice and her husband were super communicative throughout the entire time, with updates and pictures. Highly recommend!!!”
“patricia is always so amazing with my dog and always makes sure to send updates and pictures throughout his stay! he always looks like he's having an amazing time with her and the other dogs!”
About: Use this code for $20 off!- DANAP81645 Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my Australian Shepherd, Otis, and two bearded dragons, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.
“Ning was amazing with Luna! It was my first time leaving my 6 month old puppy for a weekend and she sent lots of picture & video updates so I could feel connected to Luna and see how she was adjusting in a new environment. Ning paid attention to Luna’s body language and made her feel comfortable at her own pace, and I could tell Luna had a great time. I will definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“If I could I’d give Tami six stars! Our two dogs had the time of their lives while in her care. She sent us a lot of photos and videos to keep us up to date while we were away. Great communication, loving care and the best service you could ever ask for. Anytime in the future that we need our two dogs cared for, Tami will be our first call. She was also kind and understanding when our drive home took us a little bit longer (a hour or so) than we had planned. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her as a wonderful and trusted place to book your dogs for their own “staycation”. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Jennie and Bennie are the best cat sitters!!!! They took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they sent me daily updates explaining how they were adjusting to their house along with photos and videos. The room for the cats is beautiful and perfect for climbing and playing. Jennie and Bennie are trustworthy, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable about cats. I knew my cats were safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend them.”
“From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog took to her right away. Diana kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Truly wonderful experience from start to finish!”
“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!”
“Holly was WONDERFUL. She sent tons of cute pictures, was super communicative, and returned us a happy, healthy dog. She was so nice and took great care of our girl—would 1000% book again!”
“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!”
“Alison was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucas! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, and even let him sleep next to her for comfort. It was clear Lucas felt safe and loved the entire time. Alison was so kind, patient, and attentive, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’m beyond grateful and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter!”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“Wow, was this a great experience! Dubele and her daughter, Van were incredibly communicative, kind, and patient with me from first contact all the way to picking my cats up at the end of the booking. They sent daily photos and provided updates as often as I asked (and even when I didn’t!). Overall, I cannot recommend Dubele enough as a petsitter. My cats, who are terrified of new people, were curled up on her lap by day 2! I will definitely be using their services again anytime my cats need overnight boarding.”

“Aurora is an amazing care taker for our cats. We started working with her in the past week as we needed to leave town for a week. She always updates us on her visits with pictures and visit summaries and has great attention to detail. She gives us peace of mind while we are away. You can tell Aurora is a true cat lover who enjoys taking care of cats, which makes us feel great and lets us know that in addition to food and water, she gives our cats lots of love. We will work with her again 100%”
“Mable was a stellar sitter. Very communicative, provided the best photo updates and made sure our babies were well fed and played with! Really appreciate that Mable gave such good rover cards and let us feel at ease while we were out of town. Thanks so much!!! Highly recommend”
“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.”
“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!”
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: 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.
“Andrea was amazing with our two kitties! So communicative, always sent us photo and video updates, and the cats loved her. I would love to have her back to watch them again.”
“Carissa was great! She was nice enough to drop by before the first booking to get familiar with the property and grab the key. She was attentive to our requests and clearly loves animals so was more than willing to give them the care they need. The updates were descriptive and attached photos were lovely to see. Appreciated her service and will definitely book again if we need a 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.
“Kimi did a great job caring for our cats. She even stayed longer than necessary to see if our shy cat would come out of hiding (she eventually did!). Will be happy to have her sit for us again.”
About: I grew up with cat’s and was raised by two animal loving parents who taught me early on the importance of respecting an animals space and autonomy. Going above and beyond for our pets was just a way of life and something I have carried with me into my pet sitting business. Every cat is as unique as we are as people and with that some prefer covered litter boxes while others like to be out in the open. Some are your happy go lucky couch buddy while others are more like reincarnated royalty and expect to be treated as such!
“Kirsten was excellent while watching our cat- Theodore. She communicated promptly and kept us very well updated with how he was doing while we were away. Theodore absolutely adored her whereas sometimes he takes longer to get comfortable with new people. You can definitely tell that she is familiar with cats. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a friendly and responsible pet sitter that you can trust!”
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 have over nearly 15 years experience with various pets. Over a decade of experience with family/friends dog care. I’m an easy going animal lover. I do accept multiple dogs to assure your pup has company at all times ☺️ We are a household of three experienced carers. I’m an independent contractor who can be home whenever I please. I work just a few minutes away from home and usually make multiple stops home per day. My partner works from home so your pups always have company. My home is a calm quiet place with a big yard. It has plenty of room and an easily accessible walking area. I can be playful or calm depending on your pups preference.
About: My name is Natalie. I've experienced taking care of small/medium/large dogs for 6 years. My experience with them is incredible, I love dogs and I love meeting new ones as well. I love taking care of these beautiful animals, its great having to spend time with them. I have a poodle of my own and he's my best friend. The way i interact with dogs is very attentive, playful, and loving. I will treat your dog like my own. I hope you will give me the opportunity to form a special bond with your dog as well. I can't wait to get to know your pets and give them the comfort and the care they need while you're away. Very excited can't wait ! !

“Candi watched our two dogs while we spent a full day at Disneyland! She was very responsive setting up the day and throughout the day and sent photos of the pups all day long. They had a blast playing with her dog, Joy! They came home healthy and clean. We would definitely recommend Candi and Joy!”

“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!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was able to watch Mr cuddles on super short notice, was very flexible on timing, communicative, and is an awesome groomer. Mr cuddles came with matted hair (our toddler loves dumping food on him) and came out pristine. Thank you Ashley!”

“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!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”
“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! =)”

“She was amazing with our doggy. He had the great time and love playing with her dog. He was exhausted when we picked him up and she sent multiple videos of him having fun. She was very communicative and was sending updates all the time. She's definitely a great dog sitter and I'll definitely book her again!!”
“Emma had a great time at Patricia's house. She was very relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Patricia lives a very short drive from the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds so if you are attending an all-day event there and don't want to have to worry about leaving your furry friend to fend for themselves all day, I highly recommend leaving your pet with Patricia. She is knowledgeable about dogs and very conscientious, having gone the extra mile to ensure that Emma was not able to get to any other animal's food (since Emma has food allergies). Patricia also texted me pics during the day of Emma enjoying her walk, which further helped to make my day more enjoyable by putting my mind at ease. I will not hesitate to book with Patricia again the next time I'm in the area!”
“My family and I had an excellent time in California. Tiffany took care of our dog Sophie. It seems like she had a good time with her and she was in great hands. Tiffany is not only good at taking care of her, but she gave her affection, comfort, and made her feel safe with her. One of the things we liked was how she kept us updated about our dog by sending us pictures and informing us on what they are doing at the moment. We like to thank Tiffany for taking care of our precious Sophie. I recommend Tiffany to anyone who is traveling at the moment and need someone to take care of your dogs.”
“Shelby and her boyfriend Nathan did a great job watching my pup while I worked. They were very flexible with my late hours and thorough with understanding his personality and needs. It was more than enough because my pup is super easy to care for. They walked him, fed him, and played with him and I think Shelby sent more pics than I’ve ever gotten from any daycare before. I also appreciated that Shelby clearly had put in some time to learn about dogs and their behavior. I’ve done that myself so I noticed in the things she said that she had spent some time on learning about them. That always makes me feel more comfortable with daycare because it makes people more likely to see signs of potential problems in dog interactions. I would absolutely have them watch my pup again in the future.”
“Ning is very sweet and sends you multiple updates per day of your pup! She’s very caring and I can tell my dog had a great time staying with her! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Lisa was AMAZING! She took excellent care of my senior dog while I was at Disneyland all day. She was great at sending me photos and videos throughout the day and giving me updates on my dogs activities. I was able to enjoy my time away stress free because it was clear my dog was doing well under her care. I would 100% book her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my unique combination of professional experience and a perfect home environment. I previously worked at a busy dog cafe in South Korea, where I gained hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. This taught me how to read their body language and keep them safe and happy. I work from home full time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. Since my schedule is very adaptable, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I'll be around to keep your pet company, take them out for regular potty breaks, feed them on time, and give them plenty of attention and love I have professional experience working at a dog cafe in South Korea, where I cared for various breeds and temperaments. This experience taught me how to read dog body language and handle unexpected situations safely. I also have a very gentle, friendly Bichon Frise of my own who loves making new friends! To give you peace of mind, I will send you photo and video updates every 2 hours so you can see how much fun your pup is having in our safe, loving environment
“Samantha was very friendly, caring, a responsible with Copper. Our little Copper was a little anxious, but he had a nice visit and she kept me updated throughout the day. I appreciated her understanding and attention to detail with him. I highly recommend her and feel confident that Copper will enjoy another visit! ?”
“She was amazing with our pup while my family and I were at Disney. Communication was excellent, and we loved receiving regular photo updates throughout her stay. We would absolutely book with her again if we ever return to California.”

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!
“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: I have taken care of dogs from newly born to close to reaching 20 and I have and always will do it with a heart full of love. I have always grown up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds and am now studying to become a veterinarian. I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to care for dogs on the side until then, and I have a completely open schedule for the summer! I have experience dog sitting overnight as well as dropping in for walks and potty breaks, I know how to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as crate trained dogs, and on top of that I’ll make sure to leave your house nicer than before!
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.

Our complex features a spacious dog park and plenty of safe walking paths, making it a great environment for dogs to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. My apartment has a secure, fenced-in balcony that is pet-safe, so your furry friend can relax safely while staying with me. I’m a very active person who enjoys walking every day, so if your pet loves walks, I’d be happy to include them in my routine. Whether your pet prefers long walks, short potty breaks, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
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.
“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.”
About: I’m a dependable and strong woman who’s comfortable with bigger dogs, but gentle and patient with smaller ones. I’m not a professional trainer, but I pay attention to dogs and can usually tell when they’re feeling scared, stressed, or unsure. I also stay aware of my surroundings on walks to help keep every dog safe. I do work a full time M-F 9-5 and have a dog of my own. So I’m only available weekends for now I will follow any instruction, no matter how unusual, lol. Feeding, walks, routines, if it’s leaving the tv or music on or warm up a heat pad, etc, whatever you need—so your pet feels comfortable and taken care of.
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! I’m happy to help you with your child whether it’s taking a walk to the park, needing a potty break, or just overall attention while you’re away for the holidays! I'm currently a full-time student and work remotely allowing me to have more time to look after your loved ones! I have a lot of flexibility if needed. If you have any special requirements for your pet such as administering medicine, feeding, and all of the above, I will make sure to provide that based on your request! Other examples: Do they get along with other animals (dogs/cats)? Do they require going for a run?
“Shea has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley. From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.”
“Naomy was super flexible in helping us regarding the walk. Yuna was happy to see her upon her arrival and really enjoyed the walk. Would definitely book Naomy for many upcoming walks and recommend her for others!”
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. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, extra patience, or just a little companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and at home. I currently have open availability with a flexible schedule, allowing me to check in on your pets up to three times a day and spend as much time with them as they need, whether that’s a quick visit, extra playtime, or simply some companionship while you’re away. I care for pets in the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific routines. I also provide attention, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs, along with a basic wellbeing check each visit. I make sure pets are safe and comfortable before leaving and send updates with photos and notes after each visit.
“This was our first time issuing any kind of dog walking service so of course we were a little nervous however I felt instantly comfortable with Yuki from the first moment we met! Both our babies, Jax and Nala went right up to Yuki to check her out and she got the nod of approval from both! We were gone for a week and had Yuki come by for daily walks and it has been great! I’m so relieved to know if we’re ever going to be gone during the day we have someone we can trust with our babies! Thank you Yuki!!!”
About: I have a 12 year old chihuahua. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old and she’s still with us. She’s now blind so there are adjustments we do to best suit her in our house. I take pride in my adaptability and desire to connect with each pet individually to meet their needs. Hi there, I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton. I work part time with the Boys and Girls club as a mentor Coach therefore my schedule is flexible. I really appreciate detailed information. I am always open to adjusting my approach to any routine that best fits your pets needs. It’s a case by case manor.

About: I am a Registered veterinary technician with 15 plus years of experience working with animals.I Have several years of experience in Emergency and Specialty medicine. In the past I have worked in the neurology department for over 5 years and so I have experience in caring for IVDD dogs and cats, and pets with seizures. My experience makes it easy for me to recognize when a pet is experiencing an emergency. I love taking care of all pets and specialize in the care of pets with special needs. I am currently working from home so I have some extra time during the week and weekends for walks, in house visits and pet sitting. I treat every pet as if it was my own and I am very careful when at the clients home. I will care for and nurture your pet, after all I do this for a living :)

About: Use this code for $20 off!- DANAP81645 Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my Australian Shepherd, Otis, and two bearded dragons, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.
“Ning was amazing with Luna! It was my first time leaving my 6 month old puppy for a weekend and she sent lots of picture & video updates so I could feel connected to Luna and see how she was adjusting in a new environment. Ning paid attention to Luna’s body language and made her feel comfortable at her own pace, and I could tell Luna had a great time. I will definitely be booking again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“If I could I’d give Tami six stars! Our two dogs had the time of their lives while in her care. She sent us a lot of photos and videos to keep us up to date while we were away. Great communication, loving care and the best service you could ever ask for. Anytime in the future that we need our two dogs cared for, Tami will be our first call. She was also kind and understanding when our drive home took us a little bit longer (a hour or so) than we had planned. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her as a wonderful and trusted place to book your dogs for their own “staycation”. Thank you!”
“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!”

She is the best! I'm so happy I found her. Thank you, Rebecca!”

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!!
“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%”
