“Felt so safe and confident leaving our pup with Twinkle. Got immediate and frequent updates putting us as ease :) We will be back! Already booked our second visit.”
About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
About: 🌿 Premium Private Boarding — One Pet at a Time 🌿 I offer exclusive, one-on-one boarding so your pet receives personalized attention in a calm, home-like environment. No rotating dogs, no overcrowding, just intentional, loving care. Hi! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover and experienced Rover sitter with years of happy repeat clients who’ve become true friends (both human and furry). Animals have always been my absolute passion, and caring for pets is something I take very personally. I originally started on Rover several years ago, paused when I became a mom, and now that my two kids are in daycare, I’m excited to be back doing what I love: providing safe, loving, and attentive care for your pets. • My Home & Family 🏡 I live with my loving husband, two daycare-age kids, and my 16-year-old cat, Samantha. I’ve also loved and cared for pets well into their senior years, including my sweet Bailey and Jake, who both lived long, full lives and remain forever in my heart. Because I have young children, I only accept pets who are comfortable around kids. My toddlers are high-energy, and I prioritize everyone’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind. For boarding requests, meet & greets are required so we can ensure it’s a great fit for everyone before booking. • Premium, One-Pet-at-a-Time Boarding 🐾 When I offer boarding, I provide exclusive, one-pet-at-a-time care. I do not board multiple pets from different families at once. This allows me to give your pet my full attention, reduce stress, and create a calm, home-like environment, especially ideal for seniors, anxious pets, or dogs who thrive on individualized care. If your pet is staying with me, I intentionally clear my schedule and remain home with them as much as possible. Your pet isn’t just another booking, they’re my priority. • Walks, Drop-Ins & Visits 🦮🐱 I offer walks and drop-ins and thoughtfully schedule my day around the pets in my care. I respect your pet’s routine and take the time needed during each visit to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. • Communication & Care 📝 I believe great pet care starts with communication. I welcome any details about your pet’s routines, quirks, preferences, medications, or dietary needs…the more information, the better. I’m always happy to review written instructions and refer back to them as needed. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away.

About: Home all day, lots of attention and company Safe and clean, dog friendly environment Personalized care and follow owners routines Daily photo/video updates Parks inside guarded neighborhood I work from home full time, so I’m around most of the day to keep pets company, morning walks, playtime breaks, and evening cuddles are all part of the daily routine. My home has a small fenced front yard that’s perfect for quick potty break or a bit of sunshine playtime, it’s a cozy townhouse in a quiet, safe guarded neighborhood in Irvine .
“Karla was great with our little Harley. Luckily we were able to get Karla to watch Harley last minute due to an emergency. Will use her again if we’re ever down in OC.”
“Kristina was amazing, so patient and warm with my dog! it was our first time using Rover and she was so great at communicating! We are going on vacation soon and planing on leaving her again with Kristina and her family for a few weeks.”
“Niloofar took Peaches in at last minute. It was an absolute joyful day for Peaches. Very thorough and considerate communication and updates. Thank you for creating a safe, comfortable, and joyful space for a fragile pup. I recommend Niloofar to anyone! THANK YOU!!”
“Wow!!! Very pleased with Bowie’s first day with Rebecca. From our first phone call I could tell she really cares about these pups and making sure they are well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates throughout the day (with cute photos to follow!). I am currently crate training Bowie and Rebecca was great at crating him to keep him on schedule. Overall, extremely happy with the whole experience and would love for Bowie to spend time with his new friends again. Truly a dog home away from home!”
“Lisa was great with our 4.5 month old puppy! She took him on multiple walks and sent us photo updates throughout the day. We would book again next time we need dog sitting.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets of all kinds—from playful dogs to cats, rabbits to birds of all kinds, other small animals and fish. I make sure each one feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to give every pet the same affection and attention they’d get at home. I am an older adult, retired registered nurse, animal lover who has an open schedule and a big heart ready to dedicate to pet sitting Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of my pet care. I’m dedicated to providing a secure and nurturing environment, whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine. I follow all care instructions carefully, respect your home and privacy, and create a calm space where pets can feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I have been watching over animals since I was a teenager. As I have gotten older I realized I have passion to watch over dogs and cats. I enjoy their presence as vice versa. There is no dog to small or big that I cannot care for. I am a pet owner as well I have a cat who is animal friendly do both cats and dogs. I provide the best service in the area as your fur baby is like my own. Though I work in the office I only work 10 mins away from my place and I tend to come home frequently during my breaks. That way your fur baby isn’t left to long but I do know most dogs enjoy the company of my cat. So being able to work around your schedule is something I don't mind doing to be able to provide the best service possible. There is a few dog areas in the complex as well trails and parks to take your dog to for exercise as well to use the bathroom. My apartment is safe free and non-smoking environment.
“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.”
Walnut Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
Karla and Armen(sp) were great! It was Tony’s first visit and they did everything to put me ,the anxious fur mom at peace. lol Zara is sweet and easy to get along with. I’m super thankful to have found them and we hope to visit with them again soon:). They are a new addition to our rover family:)
Meagan and Jason were very accommodating to our senior pup Bandit’s needs during his daycare visit. We had a nice meet and greet prior, they asked all the right questions and had a friendly and relaxed vibe. We appreciated all the updates during his stay, and we know Bandit was in great hands. Will not hesitate to book again 🙂
Our 3-year-old golden retriever, Bella, has been staying with Rebecca occasionally throughout the years and gets so excited and happy every time we arrive to Rebecca’s home! Bella gets a full day of play with other pups with all the love and care from Rebecca and Tom. Rebecca always provides update photos throughout the stay, which we always appreciate. She provides so much care to detail - from describing the dynamics between Bella and the pups, the activities she’s engaged in throughout the day, and so many photos - which we love! Always a great stay here, and we appreciate Rebecca and Tom so much.
Baining was a fantastic doggy day care sitter. My wife and I needed a sitter for the day while we hosted an event at our home. Baining was very attentive and remained in consistent contact with me throughout the day. She took our two pugs on walks. She asked questions if something was not clear. She also took lots of pictures and videos of our dogs. I highly recommend her if you are looking for top notch and quality care.
Audrey is very kind and took such great care of my dog. I was able to be away with complete peace of mind. She’s friendly, communicative, and did an excellent job keeping me updated with photos. Her dog Bumi is also very sweet and got along great with my dog. I’ll definitely book with her again.
It's challenging to find a good, responsible sitter, and Kimberly is one of the great ones! Zenji is a senior dog with special needs, requiring medication to be administered several times daily. I worry about him constantly, due to all of his health issues, but Kimberly was very understanding, responsible, and put me at ease. I appreciated that Kimberly invited me to see her home and yard during the meet and greet and really took her time with us. Many pet sitters do not extend this type of offer to see their space, which always feels a little strange to have my dog stay in a place I haven't seen. In fact, Kimberly's space was so inviting and comfortable, that Zenji was extremely excited, and even I felt extremely relaxed! Zenji had a blast with Kimberly and got lots of exercise! They took walks around Old Town Tustin, which is a place Zenji always enjoys visiting. I really appreciated Kimberly's attentiveness, and her frequent responsiveness and updates. I am looking forward to hiring her again!
Jahnavi and her husband did a great job watching my doggy! She was very response to all my inquires and flexible on times. Her dog got along great with mine! She sent updates and pictures of the multiple walks they went on. Baloo was so happy when I picked him up and slept like a baby throughout the whole night! You can count on Jahnavi to take the best care of your pups!
