“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“Xiaoying is expert went it come to taking care of cat. She takes care of your pet with passion just like she/he is her own cat. We left maya our cat with here for about month when we left for vaction. Maya was so well taken care of right from day one. We got daily updates on here feeding, activities through out the day. Special care was taken to provide isolated / separate room from slowly introducing her to the new environment and cat at her own pace. Special effort was taken to keep her active with play time. At end of the vacation she became member of Xiaoying’s cat family. Even pre drop off updates and information was good. 😸😸😸. Definitely recommend anyone to keep their cat with Xiaoying while on vacation.”
“I am so grateful to Muskaan and her family for taking Scotty in a last minute booking when we had our water shut off and he couldn't stay with us at the hotel! Scotty had a great vacation with several daily walks and cute videos of him looking at the Christmas lights, lots of love from the whole family, and careful care for his medication and diet. Would absolutely recommend and book again.”
“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.”
“Our dog loves visiting Andrea and Ben. They take great care of her and keep us updated throughout her visit. They are kind and relaxed and we are very comfortable leaving our girl with them. We know she will be well taken care of.”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mirna during our puppy’s overnight stay. Leaving a 5-month-old puppy can be stressful, but she made the entire process so reassuring and positive. She did an amazing job staying consistent with his potty schedule, which is no small task at this age. We really appreciated the effort she put into reinforcing good habits and helping break some of his less desirable ones! Most importantly, she kept him safe while also making sure he stayed active, engaged, and happy. It was clear he was well cared for and given plenty of attention. We’re so grateful for her patience, attentiveness, and dedication, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Micheal is amazing with our pup! Cleo loves going over there. She has a great stay and we feel safe leaving her with Micheal and his wife. She even gets some training! I 10000% recommend Micheal to watch your dog.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“William and his wife were great hosts for our dog. They sent daily updates and photos and videos, which I very much appreciated. Additionally, they have a beautiful yard for dogs to roam around in! I highly recommend them.”
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.
“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 🐶!!”
“Jocelyn did an exceptional job caring for Penny. She took care of Penny for 3 days and we couldn't be more happier. She updated us a number of times while our Penny was under her care and sent pictures and videos to keep us up to date. We will definitely book Penny with Jocelyn again.”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“Wen was great about updating us with videos and pictures! Whisky came back to us clearly well taken care of. We appreciated, as well, that Wen dropped her off after a long drive home! Would definitely recommend her care”
“Chloe once again took incredible care of my boy! She is patient and I can tell she truly gets to know the animal, their likes, wants, needs, etc. I will trust her again and again. Thank you, Chloe🤍”
“Annie and her husband are down to Earth people with gentle souls, we immediately felt welcomed into their spotless home. I just felt it in my heart that she was “the one” to care for our little Buddy a senior dog. I received daily email updates and the sweetest photos of our dog napping peacefully as well as a cute photo shoot commercial, yes a commercial shoot. We will definitely use Annie again, when we can’t take our dog on vacation with is. Peace of mind is priceless, thank you Annie for allowing us to enjoy our little getaway knowing that Buddy was being well cared for and safe. Will definitely rebook.”

“Our previous sitter had moved away, so we hired Amanda to watch Molly during our vacation. We scheduled a meet and greet ahead of the visits to familiarize her with everything. She visited twice a day and was always on-time, morning and evening. Things were in great shape when we got home and Molly was well-cared for.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend and I couldn’t have been more happy with Rachel! She was super kind, thorough, and communicative with me. I will definitely be using Rachel again in the future when needed!”
“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!”
“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: We all know cats are the head of the household. When caring for your kitties, I will be sure to make them feel like the royalty they are! I have done both live-in and drop-in care for cats, and I love it all. Getting to bond with a special new fuzzy friend and make them feel loved while their person is away brings me so much joy. I can't wait to care for your furry family members!
“Erica is great! Highly recommend! She took good care of our cat while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She is very reliable and we felt very comfortable being gone for that length of time with her as our pet sitter.”
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!
“Nancy is a great pet sitter! Our kitties were very well taken care of, and very happy. The litter box was spotless and the kitties had plenty of fresh water and food.”

My services include drop-in visits, medication administration (oral, topical, and injectable), nail trims, basic pet care support, and monitoring pets with special medical needs.

My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets receive compassionate, knowledgeable care. At this time, I am focusing on drop-in care and veterinary support services rather than pet sitting or dog walking. Services Offered: * Drop-in visits * Medication administration * Nail trims I currently work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, but I am flexible with drop in services and happy to try to work around your schedule and your pet’s schedule as needed • Drop ins • Medication administration (injectable, oral, topical) • SQ fluids • Feeding (for example, if you have a cat and just need a drop in meal) • Nail trims • Ear cleanings (as long as the ears are not infected and it’s routine)
“Our beloved Sugaree crossed the Rainbow Bridge 3 weeks ago Erika was such a great companion for lonely Usul! We trust her completely—she does an excellent job of taking care of the home and our beloved kitty”
“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.”
“Tianna was fantastic. She took the best care of our little Mattie and went above and beyond by bringing in packages left at our front door. She was thorough in completing the visit updates so that we could rest easy knowing that Mattie was doing well. We highly recommend Tianna for your pet. We will definitely be booking again.”
“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.”
About: I have lived with cats all my life and have developed an extreme love for all felines! I treat my own cats as family rather than just pets and would treat yours with the same care! I have experience admitting medications to cats as well as giving them lots of attention and playtime :3
“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.”
“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”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family.

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 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.”
“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!”

“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”
“Lan was excellent with my baby Beau on a super short notice. She responded within minutes of contacting her. Beau is still a pup and very much behaves like one and Lan handled it with grace. She got my boy nice and tired in her beautiful backyard. Her children were great with him as well giving him tons of attention and treats. Lan sent lots of pictures and videos which put me at ease haha . For my babies first time away from home I couldnt have asked for a better sitter.”

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.

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.
About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
“Our 3.5 month old Doberman had a great first experience with Saedeeh. She is a very loving person with lots of experience and energy to play with our dog. We have booked another sitting.”
“Wen and her family were the best! She sent lots of pictures and videos, that showed Boaty was being well treated. Also I could tell by her pictures her home is well take care of and clean.”
“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.

“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.”

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, fun, and stress-free experience. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. I look forward to getting to know you and providing your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I currently work remotely on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s and am always available on the weekends. I am available during the week to walk at lunch time and after work around 4pm. In my own home all my animals are treated like my children. They only get the best of the best in regards to food, love, and activity options.
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.

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.

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: I am skilled with all types of dogs from giant German Shepards and special care Bulldogs to small Pugs and Shih Tzu’s. I follow in detail all instructions provided. I promise to be professional. I will show your pet love and secure your home while you travel. I will care for your home and beloved Pet with respect. I am available to care for all your needs nearly all the time. This also allows me the flexibility to be available for your required schedule. I live locally, and you can count on me to be there in for your pet when needed. I care deeply about the safety of your home & pets. I consider my personal responsibility to give them both the highest standard of attention and total care. I am large, dog capable, and small dog experienced.
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.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of our dogs for 17 years, all the way from puppies to elderly dogs (17 years). I’ve had to provide special care, diets due to illness or old age. I provide very kind & loving caring. I am a stay at home mom with older kids out of the home. I take care of my granddaughter a few times a week but can be available any day and time. I attend your home and will follow any instructions as needed, making sure that the dogs & cats are safe (do not escape) and follow what is most comfortable for the owner.

“Our dog loves visiting Andrea and Ben. They take great care of her and keep us updated throughout her visit. They are kind and relaxed and we are very comfortable leaving our girl with them. We know she will be well taken care of.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mirna during our puppy’s overnight stay. Leaving a 5-month-old puppy can be stressful, but she made the entire process so reassuring and positive. She did an amazing job staying consistent with his potty schedule, which is no small task at this age. We really appreciated the effort she put into reinforcing good habits and helping break some of his less desirable ones! Most importantly, she kept him safe while also making sure he stayed active, engaged, and happy. It was clear he was well cared for and given plenty of attention. We’re so grateful for her patience, attentiveness, and dedication, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Micheal is amazing with our pup! Cleo loves going over there. She has a great stay and we feel safe leaving her with Micheal and his wife. She even gets some training! I 10000% recommend Micheal to watch your dog.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“William and his wife were great hosts for our dog. They sent daily updates and photos and videos, which I very much appreciated. Additionally, they have a beautiful yard for dogs to roam around in! I highly recommend them.”
“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 🐶!!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Thuy and her family were so good to our pup Juniper! We did a meet and greet and they asked lots of great questions. Once she was there they sent photos (without having to ask!), even got a seat belt tether for her since I forgot to leave hers! They brushed her, took her for walks, played with her and took her out with them, and overall took such good care of her. We already booked another stay with Thuy!”
About: I’m a professional woman, late 30s, no kids, no other pets, non-smoking home, and live in a townhome in Coto. I work from home when I’m not traveling to client sites- I’m a healthcare consultant. I learned about Rover years ago after using it for my own former pets. My dogs: lab/pit mix, and a terrier mix, and two cats- all rescues. I also grew up with snakes, lizards and fish because I have a sister who is allergic to fur, so home-sitting reptiles is not a problem. But as I mentioned, I travel often and don’t think having my own pet is a responsible, caring choice at this time. So, instead, I’d love to take care of your fur babies when I’m not traveling. Because I work from home, you can expect my 24/7 attention. During the day, conference calls can be taken during long walks, or I can work on my laptop from the dog park. Or, I’d love to have them snooze at my feet in my office as I type away. In the evening it’s just Netflix and play. While I don’t have my own backyard, I’m just steps from one of our amazing trails, so frequent potty breaks are easy. I’m comfortable with animals on my furniture or co-sleeping. But I also am comfortable with crating as I did this with my larger dogs. Pets with special needs are welcome. Please supply any special toys, treats, food, and maybe even one of your old tee-shirts to help with the temporary transition. Also, I prefer to do a quick pre-sit meet and greet to ensure that everyone is comfortable, and you’re welcome to come see my home if I’ll be hosting.

“Ever since I've started using Rover, this couple is the best so far. They were very responsive with messages, sent updates daily (lots of cute pics and videos!), and they took a very good care of my pup. Their dogs are friendsly. 10/10 recommended and thanks again!”
“Elizabeth treated Theodore like a prince. She is loving, kind and straight forward…and most of all…she knows how to love on Theodore when I am not present. I appreciate her and her loving home as a place away from home.”
“Lisa is a great sitter! Very communicative and she will care greatly for your pet and their wellbeing. Her family is equally caring and the experience was overall wonderful. I would certainly rebook.”
