“Tyrie was wonderful to my senior Doberman, Jimmy, and sent me pics during my week vacation. We had a meet and greet before his booking and she asked all of the right questions for clarification. I could tell Jimmy was comfortable during his stay with her. I will definitely keep Tyrie in mind for any future boarding needs. 10/10 for Tyrie!”
“Pili was really great! From taking great care of our dogs, to being flexible with timing, to communicating and sending tons of pictures, everything was awesome. I would highly recommend Pili if you ever need someone to watch your pups!”
“I highly recommend Muskaan! Sully was acting off on the day I brought him to her and she was very reassuring. She sent me plenty of daily updates with pictures and videos so that I knew Sully was doing well. He was walked twice a day and got lots of love. It was a great experience.”
“Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.”
“Zadie and Luna loved Andrea and Ben! We did a meet and greet beforehand, so when it came to drop off day for boarding, the girls were very excited when we showed up at their house. When I picked them up, I don’t think they wanted to leave! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10 would book again.”
“Another 5 star experience with Wen! She kindly accepted my booking on such short notice. She went above and beyond cleaning my dog’s wound that had occurred the night before and I had no time to visit the vet yet. She is our go to sitter. Amazing as always!”
About: I’ve raised, trained & cared for dogs for over 30 years. My friends say any dog who stays with us has hit the jackpot. My husband & I both work from home, are mega dog lovers and shower all our guest pets with love and attention. We always provide daily "pupdates" and photos so our pet parents know their fur babies are being well cared for and loved in their absence. There’s nothing like peace of mind when you have to be away from your four-legged family members. My husband and I currently work from home and will shower your fur baby with love and attention. They will be well cared in our home. Availability most days with enough notice. We have a fully fenced patio great for potty breaks, basking in the sun, or resting in the shade. Pets are always accompanied when outside for safety. Inside is always a comfortable 72 degrees. We have a 2-story home with hard-wood floors, but area rugs in most rooms make it nice and cozy for pups. We are a calm and quiet household who prefers dogs with matching energy, but we still like to play and run several times a day, followed by well-deserved naps. I’m happy to preserve your fur baby’s routine when they are in my care. I can also administer medication if needed. ** for the safety of all the pets in my care, your pet must be well-mannered, potty trained, up to date on all vaccinations, flee/tick free, and in no way contagious.
“We booked Marta for a 15-day stay while we were away, and we really appreciated how well she cared for Milo. When our flight was delayed, she was super flexible and had no problem extending his stay by an extra day, which was such a relief. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. She also shared helpful tips to keep our dog healthy. Overall, we’re grateful to have had her look after our pup and keep him happy and safe while we were gone!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Sophie!! She sent updates every morning and evening keeping our little hearts at peace while far away from our baby!! Our baby girl is older and requires a little TLC with her diabetes and Katie administered her medication with zero problems!!! I would highly recommend Katie!!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!! Thank you!!!”
“Emely was able to accommodate us last-minute and was quick to respond, provided multiple updates, and was so sweet with our dog. We know Penny had an absolute blast and already have plans to book Emely again!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Lan quickly accepted our boarding request and scheduled a meet and greet! She was very sweet and attentive and engaged with my dog during the meet and greet! During our dogs 5 night stay we got multiple pictures, videos and updates every day! I felt very at ease knowing my dog was being loved and well cared for! I would definitely book with Lan again!”
“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Jocelyn was attentive, response, kind and patient to my little Almond. I received many pictures and updates during her stay. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Jocelyn!”
“Sudu came home so happy from Chloe’s, which is always a sign he was well taken care of! Chloe was very thorough with updates and even accommodated for us last minute. Thank you Chloe and Tata🤍”
“Our Golden had a 3 night sleepover and loved it! Mirna was very attentive and kept us updated with photos the entire time. She also made sure that our dog had his walks and took his medicine. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mirna to take care of your fluffy family member!”
“We appreciate Jolene keeping Daisy safe and happy during her stay. We especially want to thank her for accommodating our unexpected last-minute schedule change when we were stranded with a flat tire, having that flexibility was a huge relief.”

“I am always a little hesitant to have new people watch our pups but this time I decided to try rover and I am so happy that we did. We did a meet and greet with Nikki and she was absolutely wonderful. Our dog Bob immediately wanted belly scratches from her and Roxy, our blind, senior dog who normally shakes when she hears new voices, was completely calm. She got to our home just right on time and gave us a lot of updates while we were away. She took our dogs out for a potty and she texted me pictures of Bob and Roxy throughout the night which I really appreciate. I already have her booked for another date and I’m so happy we met Nikki. Thank you for taking care of our pups.”
“Amanda was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Addy, while we were out of town! She was extremely reliable, always sending detailed updates and photos after every visit. It was clear that she genuinely love cats; Addy was happy when we returned, and the house was perfectly tidy. We especially appreciated how she handled her wet food, playing with her, and a last minute home trash request. Highly recommend her for peace of mind!”
About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! I live with my wonderful family and our cat, Pickles, who keeps us all entertained with his curious and playful personality. Caring for Pickles has given me firsthand experience with the daily routines, quirks, and special love that cats need to thrive. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just sitting quietly to keep a kitty company, I always treat every cat as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to give your feline the same attention and affection that Pickles gets at home!

I have a 2 story home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available.
“Erica is so wonderful with our little kitty. I selected the wrong dates and didn't realize until we were on our trip. Erica quickly made the adjustments and rushed over to take care of our fur baby. She's incredible!”
“Cass took such wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town for the weekend! She was consistent with her visits, played with them, sent us pictures every visit, and kept in constant communication with us. She brought so much peace of mind for my family knowing our cats were showered with so much love and care! Thank you Cass!! ✨”

I can't wait to care for your furry family members!
“Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.”

“Lunette did a terrific job! We needed someone last minute to stay with our two cats, and she handled everything like a pro, including giving our new kitten meds and gradually switching both cats to a new food. Great job!”
“I was very nervous leaving my kittens for the first time. Jameel did an amazing job. Daily updates, open communication, and went above and beyond to clean up my place when he didn’t need to! I would 100% recommend him to others and plan on using him anytime I need to travel”

“I took a "test drive" with Mark, leaving my dogs with him for a day. He was a great match for my 2 older dogs. He knew how to match their energy and had a very calm presence when they first met him. My pups will usually bark at people when they first met them but not at Mark. They were fine with him for a full day. He took them for a walk and they were fine for him. My "party pup" wanted more pets from Mark before we left. I definitely recommend Mark for a calm & comfortable person & place of care.”
“We really appreciate Pili accommodate our very last minute request and being flexible. She takes great care of our puppy. She was very diligent with frequent updates and pictures and our puppy was very happy when we picked her up at the end of the day care!”

“Tyrie was able to help me with doggy day care very last minute. My dog Frank had a great day with her and enjoyed himself immensely! I am very grateful for Tyrie’s efficient and quick response time and loving doggy daycare! Book with confidence!”
About: I have a good experience caring for senior dogs because I had my own dog who passed away three years ago. He was a 17-year-old Lhasa Apso and had been my best friend since I was born. He was blind and had trouble moving around, so I learned how to help him safely and give him the care and attention he needed. Over the past three years, I’ve also taken care of puppies, active dogs, older dogs, and dogs that needed medication, for quick walks, overnight stays and even long periods such as a 5 week stay. I’ve even cared for kittens and senior cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. Monday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Tuesday: All day (parents home all day) Wednesday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Thursday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Friday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Saturday: All day (parents home all day) Sunday: All day (parents home all day) • Available for dog walking, pet sitting, and daycare. • Can care for pets while parents are home on weekends. • Evening weekday care after school; some flexibility for short walks or check-ins. I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, give medications when needed, and make sure animals are never left alone in unsafe situations. Pets staying at my house will always be one at a time(unless from the same household) to ensure they get my full attention. I have a two-story house with a fenced backyard in a safe neighborhood, and we’re close to a public park for walks and playtime. Pets can enjoy a clean, calm, and secure environment, and owners can trust me to treat their animals with love, attention, and respect at all times.

“Mirna was fantastic and took great care of our puppy! We didn’t even have to ask for photos, videos or updates because she just sent them and it was definitely a great reassurance that he was in good hands. Her kids were great as well! Thanks Mirna”
“Stella was quick to respond and was able to accommodate watching my dog on short notice. She was very friendly and gave frequent updates during her time watching him. Would definitely use her again and recommend her”
“Very accommodating and nice sitter experience! My dog can be pretty shy at first, and it was great to see Julian not mind at all and work together to make my dog feel comfortable throughout his stay. Would book again!”
“Erica did a great job. I got home early and found my dogs, calm quiet, and very contented. Erica was out on a walk by herself. As I told her she could do when I got back she returned about 15 - 20 minutes later. And, she offered to, and did, take my pups on another walk to wear them out for the evening. I was very happy with her care of my dogs. In fact, I had already lined her up for a four day house/dog sitting job. After this any qualms I had vanished!”
About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.

About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care.

About: As an animal lover since a small age, I’ve always been the go-to neighbor and friend to care for other’s beloved pets while they’re away. It’s a bright spot in my day to share some time with furry family members. I love cats, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. We have two cats, Bartleby and Butterscotch, both rescues. I understand cats can be timid with new people and need time to feel safe to reveal themselves. I feel I’m good at communicating my intentions and seem to gain their trust quickly through finding just the right way to speak and pet them. Dogs are wonderful companions. I always hate to travel and leave our 5 year old Frenchie named Brutus behind. I had the honor of training him since he was 10 weeks old. Brutus came along right as our senior rescue dog Bill was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and needed daily medication to help treat it and eventually wearing diapers around the clock. Bill was a Yorkie-poodle mix with skin allergies and needed daily medication. I got to experience the senior dog that was slowing down and needing more care while training a high energy puppy. So I’m fully able and ready to care for dogs at any stage of their lives. I’m great at meeting them we’re they’re at and gaining their trust. I’d be more than happy to help care for your cats and dogs! I’m working part time and have time in the mornings, and after 2pm until late into the night for any help you may need. I am happy to take your dog on walks and play with them, as well as feed and spend time with any cats you may have in your home.
“Brady absolutely loves his walks with Jay! He looks so happy when he gets picked up, his tail wags away as they go for walks. My pooch is a "hard walker", he pulls & and at times he has reactivity issues towards other dogs, but Jay seems to know how to handle him. They definitely have a connection! Jay also has an easy going personality & he's been trust worthy regarding the schedule. Super happy to have discovered Jay as Brady's dog walker!🐾😊”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!). My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and excited every time they see me. 🐾 Dogs & Cats * ✅ Oral medication administration * ✅ Topical medication administration * ✅ Injection medication of your pets prescribed medications. * ✅ Senior pet care * ✅ Puppy care * ✅ Kitten care * ✅ Special needs pets * ✅ Basic first aid/emergency recognition * ✅ Mobility assistance * ✅ Feeding (including special diets) * ✅ Exercise & enrichment * ✅ Crate training reinforcement * ✅ Potty break visits Grooming * ✅ Basic brushing * ✅ Teeth brushing * ✅ Ear cleaning * ✅ Nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work flexible per diem shifts, which gives me the ability to provide reliable drop in visits, walks, daytime visits and overnight care throughout the week. I keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, have worked in emergency veterinary medicine, and I’m also a licensed EMT. Staying calm, recognizing emergencies, and paying attention to the little things comes naturally to me. I care for every pet as if they were my own following your routines, respecting your home, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, exercised, and spoiled with plenty of belly rubs (and treats, if approved!). Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, or needs medication, they’re in capable and caring hands.
About: Hi I’m Kalynn! I’m 22 years old and have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with all sorts of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and even rodents. So I’m no stranger to the clean up and giving them lots of love. I’ve also taken care of many friends and family’s animals since I was a teenager, along with overnight stays. Safety is always my #1 priority and I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. Feel free to message at any time, I’m a quick responder and always open to lending a helping hand! My schedule is very flexible and always open so I can be available to help and care for your pet when ever you may need. Your animals trust and comfort are very important to me. My goal is to adapt to their routine and schedule to keep them happy while under my care. I always provide fresh food and water, along with exercise and enrichment throughout the day.
About: I have grown up with 5 aunts who all have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. One of my aunts is a veterinary technician so I have had first hand experiences of fostering puppies and kittens, caring for senior pets, and even caring for sick pets. I worked at Animal Urgent Care of South OC for a little over a year. I lost my childhood dog in 2023 that I grew up with since 5 y/o so I understand how much these pets mean to us and how much we need the best care for them! I currently am in nursing school and working part-time! (I know sounds like a lot) but I am in the very beginning of school so classes are only scheduled 1 day of the week that changes to a different day every 10 weeks. My part-time job is very minimal and a remote job where I can work from home with plenty of time to walk/play/check-in on any pups! I am available for overnight pet sitting mainly on the weekends but am open to discussing weekdays depending on my school situation that week! I have a large fenced yard with tons of grass. I have a small chiweenie puppy who is very playful and friendly. She loves other dogs and cats and wants to make friends with everyone. I also have a male orange tabby cat who is friendly with other animals but mainly stays to himself. I am able to crate your pet if needed/asked and would be able to walk them in my neighborhood or yours!
About: With several years of hands‑on pet‑care experience, I provide calm, consistent care that puts pets—and their owners—at ease. I specialize in working with both puppies and senior dogs: I’ve helped house‑train and socialize young pups while building their confidence, and I’m comfortable managing the slower pace, medications, and gentle routines that senior pets often need. I’m attentive to body language, treat with kindness rather than fear, and customize each visit to your pet’s personality, energy level, and medical needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m fully available during the day and in the evenings. Since I recently moved to Rancho Santa Margarita and don’t have another job right now, I can offer flexible visits, consistent schedules, and plenty of time to get to know each pet’s routine. I build my day around dependable walks, potty breaks, and in‑home visits, so pet parents can count on me to show up on time and give their animals the regular attention they need. My condo is very dog friendly. There are plenty of trails and parks around to take them on adventures. It does not have a yard or fence but I will be present 100% of the time.
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

“Zadie and Luna loved Andrea and Ben! We did a meet and greet beforehand, so when it came to drop off day for boarding, the girls were very excited when we showed up at their house. When I picked them up, I don’t think they wanted to leave! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10 would book again.”
“Another 5 star experience with Wen! She kindly accepted my booking on such short notice. She went above and beyond cleaning my dog’s wound that had occurred the night before and I had no time to visit the vet yet. She is our go to sitter. Amazing as always!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Sophie!! She sent updates every morning and evening keeping our little hearts at peace while far away from our baby!! Our baby girl is older and requires a little TLC with her diabetes and Katie administered her medication with zero problems!!! I would highly recommend Katie!!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!! Thank you!!!”
“Emely was able to accommodate us last-minute and was quick to respond, provided multiple updates, and was so sweet with our dog. We know Penny had an absolute blast and already have plans to book Emely again!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Lan quickly accepted our boarding request and scheduled a meet and greet! She was very sweet and attentive and engaged with my dog during the meet and greet! During our dogs 5 night stay we got multiple pictures, videos and updates every day! I felt very at ease knowing my dog was being loved and well cared for! I would definitely book with Lan again!”
“So grateful for Wiliams time and help watching over my fur baby. Almond had an incredible time thanks to William playing, walking and caring for her. I received constant pictures and updates. Almond was happy and cared for with William. She stayed 12 days and William was patient with her tedious feedings as I have made my dog extra picky with her feedings. She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”
“Our Golden had a 3 night sleepover and loved it! Mirna was very attentive and kept us updated with photos the entire time. She also made sure that our dog had his walks and took his medicine. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mirna to take care of your fluffy family member!”
“Michael is an amazing pet sitter. My dog can be very nervous and Michael picked up on that right away and knew the right way to approach her (basically ignore her). After a few minutes she totally warmed up and they were friends. My trip was over a week and at least 5 times Michael sent pics and videos and long narratives of how her day was going and the adventures they went in ( she lives car rides). I know Comet was well loved and cared for while she was with Michael!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”

Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available.

“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“This is the first time I've used Gina for my dog and she made him feel comfortable and cared for during his overnight stay. He liked playing with her sweet dog too! I have already booked another daytime sitting with them. Yay!”
