“Tyrie was the best sitter for our fur-baby. She treated him like her own, and he was very comfortable in her care. Tyrie was also very thoughtful, and she followed all of our requests for walks, treats, and meal times. She was responsive to my messages and kept in touch during boarding.”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“Very amazing host!! They sent so many videos and updates and did so many walks for my dog! You can tell they really love watching over the dogs and happy that I found a go to dog sitter who I can trust moving forward!”
“I have boarded my cat, Oreo, with her twice, and each experience has been wonderful. You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Her home is very clean, safe, and full of things that cats enjoy, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Oreo in her care. Every day, she sent detailed updates with photos and videos, along with information about Oreo’s health, appetite, and overall well-being. I really appreciated how attentive and thorough she was. Most importantly, Oreo always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is in such loving hands while I’m away. I would absolutely book with her again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Oreo! 🐱❤️”
“We love Jocelyn ❤️ she was amazing with our Lalo. It was our first time leaving him and she put us at ease. We received lots of photos everyday and amazing communication. Yumi (Jocelyn dog) is the sweetest. We will definitely book again if needed. Thank you ❤️”
“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!”
“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!”
“Mirna was fantastic with our doggo. She gave us nice updates and pics on what our dog was up to and her communication was great. Highly recommend her and will use her services again. Thanks so much Mirna!”
“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.”
“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🤍”
“Excellent experience, it was my first time using Wen and will use her again. She was very communicative, provided a lot of photos, and most importantly, my doggo looked very happy and came home happy!”
“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“Andrea was awesome keeping my big lab Sunny who’s quiet strong. Communication with Andrea was really good. She took sunny on niece walks and send pictures. I will absolutely rebook with Andrea.”
“Elizabeth took great care of our dog, Louie. He has some special needs and I’m always nervous when we use a new dog sitter but I could tell from the photos that he got a lot of love and had a good time! Elizabeth is also very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Thank you, again!”
“Seriously, she was an absolute lifesaver for our furry friend. We got so many adorable updates and photos, it really put our minds at ease. Knowing our dog was having such a good time made our trip so much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway. You won't regret choosing her services!”
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.
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“Lanie, Layla and I enjoyed meeting Amanda. We appreciate the pre-meet to get acquainted. She has an extensive knowledge of dog care, which put my mind at ease. We booked the stay and everything went great. Our dogs came home happy and it seems Lanie made a new friend in Amanda’s daughter. We plan to book with her again. Thanks, Amanda!”
“Lan was amazing! She was quick and responsive and sent so many videos and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I always knew my dog was well taken care of and that her schedule was being followed to a T. My dog also absolutely loved her kids. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“We are so grateful that we met Nikki. She has taken such good care of our blind dog, Roxy and our anxiety-filled pup Bob. She’s always so patient with them and I always feel at peace whenever we go somewhere and leave them in her care. Thank you for caring for our pups like your own. We really appreciate you and all that you’ve done for our Bob and Roxy.”
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!
“We found Tyrie to be not only naturally good with animals, but also extremely responsible in caring for our home and garden. We were gone for two weeks and returned home to find everything in perfect condition! We will have her back for our next vacation. She's the best pet and home sitter we have ever encountered!”
“We seriously love having Amanda take care of our kitties! The daily updates during our two week trip gave us a lot of comfort being away from them. Our one cat is very shy of new people but after a few days even she is comfortable with Amanda. She is also willing to take care of our plants and they always look better than when we left. We appreciate you so much!”
“Elizabeth helped with drop in visits while we were out of town. She took such good care of my girls, sent lots of photos and gave them so much love! Will definitely book with Elizabeth again in the future :)”
“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!! ✨”
About: I had only been a dog owner for 15 years when my coworker’s cat suddenly had a kitten 2 years ago and I suddenly became a godmother! I took care of this kitten named Etta ever since she was 2 months old and babysat her a couple weekends per month whenever she needed help looking after Etta since she already had 4 cats in the house. Ever since then I’ve become a cat lover!
“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!”
“Kylie was outstanding. She was punctual, friendly. and above all, obviously liked our cats. We live in a rural-ish area and appreciate her dedication to make it out every day. All the tasks were accomplished wonderfully and we were able to have a worry-free few days away. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Tiana has been a fantastic sitter. We had so much peace of mind knowing that our babies were well cared for during our vacation. We highly recommend her and will definitely rebook again soon.”
“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.”
“Katie is so kind and generous with her time and took great care with our babies. When we had a delay in our travels home she was very quick to respond and schedule extra drop-ins which made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using Katie again and highly recommend her.”

“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”

“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!”
“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!”
“Sandra and Peter did a great job taking care of our dog! They are thorough going through details before the day care and we can tell our dog had a great day when picking her up!”
“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.”
“Emely was great with my pup Kira! Very flexible with drop off and pick up times as we were driving from out of town! Sent updates and photos/videos. i’d definitely book Kira to stay with Emely again”

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”
About: Hi I’m Ali :) owner and trainer of a Bernedoodle! Looking to bring my step count up while surrounding myself with one of Gods greatest creations, dogs!

I’ve had experience caring for all types of dogs from miniature Weiner dogs to Doodles, Great Danes, Aussies, large breed mix and Italian Mastiffs! MUST LOVE DOGS ❤️ I’m a full time mom and photographer! Looking to bring my step count up while getting in some puppy love! I’m available right after school drop off m-f at 9am, flexible throughout the day for walks, check-ins and weekends too! I’d love to come to your home and care for your pets!

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.
“Wonderful experience with Lan! We had a last minute daycare request and Lan replied within minutes. She was very kind and took great care of Ozzy. She sent us lots of pictures and videos.”
“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!”
“Shelley was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog today and was incredibly kind, attentive, and dependable. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided and would definitely recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shelley! 🐾❤️”

About: Former live-in dog and cat caretaker with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care and spend as much time with your pets as needed. Whether it’s maintaining their routine, offering companionship, or making multiple visits throughout the day, I’m committed to giving them the care and attention they deserve. I prefer to meet you and your pet before the first booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including administering oral medications or mixing them with food exactly as directed. I tailor my approach to each pet’s comfort level, building trust at their pace. With cats especially, I never force interaction. I understand their unique personalities and will happily give them space when they need it.
About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. 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. Our dog was also VERY food motivated and would try to eat anything vaguely edible in the house. Because of this, we are still in the habit of keeping all foods out of pet-reach, including in the kitchen, purses/bags, and trash cans. 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 pet-free home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available. I only host 1 client at a time in my home (1 or 2 dogs from the same household). This means your pets will get my full attention, and there won’t be any issues with reactive dogs.
“Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”
About: I just graduated college with a degree in Animal Science! I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2.5 years and have lots of experience caring for all types of pets. I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as dogs and cats with special medications/diets and behavioral issues. I can cater to any special requests you have and will give them all the pets and attention they want :) I have grown up with dogs my entire life and still have three at home, so I know how to incorporate caring for your pup into my daily routine! I can schedule my day around them or possibly bring them along with me throughout my day. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your home with respect and care. I will keep your house tidy and clean the backyard when necessary.
About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student that commutes to campus. I will be gone for a couple hours at a time for class, however, I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!
About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
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.
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. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
“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 an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’m always excited whenever I see an animal. One of my former jobs was at Starbucks and whenever I got to see a puppy or a different pet in the Drive thru with their owner, I’ll always get super excited. I’ve been taking care of animals for 14 years and I’ve had experience with various different kinds of pets. Such as, cats, a dog, a rabbit, a leopard gecko, a parakeet and a rat. I’ve also worked at pet store for a year and learned even more about how to take care of animals. I even trained the birds there. Animals make the world a little better. I’m also a very patient and friendly person who will treat your pets as if they’re my own. I will always make sure to go above and beyond for your pets. I will listen to all directions given by owner. I have two dog parks located in my apartment complex and another park located close by. I work weekdays and always have weekends off! However, I will always make time for your pet no matter what. Taking care of pets comes natural to me and it’s so fun that it doesn’t even feel like a chore. I will give your pets a lot of love and will always take their safety in consideration. I’ll keep them crated with approval if there is an issue and keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re ok.

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’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: 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.

She is high energy and is still a puppy. I would highly recommend William as your dog sitter.”

I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”

“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.”
“We're regulars of Michael's, and for good reason. Not only does he handle the necessities of dog care (attention, walks, training), but he also routinely sends updates/pictures without prompting. He's got a great attitude and is supremely flexible. All this culminates in the ability for you, a dog owner, to actually focus on whatever you need to focus on, instead of worrying that your dog is having a good time. Thanks Michael!”
“Susan was awesome with Rico!,He is an only child and he loved having all of the attention there as well. She sent just the right amount of updates and pictures. Definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Elizabeth always provides loving care to our dog! She's a pleasure to work with and Koda comes home exhausted - a clear sign of having had a great time. Thanks, Liz!”
“I was so nervous to leave my dog Phil with another family because he’s kind of skittish and is attached to me. As soon as Phil met Stevie they became instant best friends! Wendy is so accommodating and sends daily pictures (not to mention she takes awesome action shots). When I picked Phil up I could tell he bonded with the entire family. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to do dog boarding. She is so kind and you can tell she loves animals. She will be our go to every time now.”
“Liz is the best sitter that our precious Munchin ever have. Liz took pictures and video of Munchie everyday, and really took care of her. It felt like Munchkin had her own vacation as well. Thank you Liz, until next time.”
