Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Walnut Village, Irvine, CA

“I cannot say enough fabulous things about Rachael. I found her while being in a pinch out of town on vacation, needing someone last minute to step in for a drop-in visit and she was immediately responsive and available. She is highly accommodating and my Cane Corso girl loves her. She has pulled through for me several times and I am so thankful for her. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I recently had to return to the office full-time after working from home for the past three years, and I was quite anxious about leaving my dog alone for eight hours. A friend recommended Rover, and I decided to give it a try, though I was initially hesitant about having someone come to my place and take care of my dog. That's when I found Lisa, who lives nearby. We arranged a meet-up last week, and to my surprise, I realized I have known her husband and her dog, Bodie, for the past three years from our neighborhood walks. This connection instantly put me at ease, and I was thrilled to have found someone I could trust. Lisa has been incredible this week, taking care of my dog during the middle of the day. She sends me pictures and updates on how he's doing, which reassures me while I'm at work. Her dedication, communication, and reliability have been outstanding. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. She's been a lifesaver during this transition, and I couldn't be happier with the care she's provided.”

“Nao has been an amazing sitter for my cat, While I was away for an extended period of time Pufina received not only excellent care, but also plenty of affection and enrichment. I received daily updates, complete with photos and sweet little notes that made me feel connected and reassured. When I returned, my cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after — a true testament to the love and attention Nao provided.”

“Baining is the only right answer. I was new to the app and was in need of a dog sitter. I was hesitant to even try Rover but Baining made the whole process easy. She was kind enough to arrange for a meet and greet before the days I needed help. She was very easy to talk to and highly communicative. She's awesome and I'll absolutely be reaching out in the future. Thanks Baining!”

“Yuki was incredible. Very sweet with our 2 cats when we went to Europe for 2 weeks. She updated me everyday with photos as well as their emotional status. She cleaned up after them and gave them love on all of her visits. I recommend her 1000% and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I took care of large dogs like Alaskan Malamutes, medium dogs like Samoyed and cocker Spaniel, and small dogs like Shih Tzu. I have many love and patience for our furry friends. I usually have early morning available during weekdays. And I have more time on the weekends. I am pretty flexible as long as I get the appointment with a reasonable period. Please let me know ahead if your furry baby needs any extra care. I will try my best to make them have a happy and healthy time with me.

About: Hi! I’m Jenna! A lifelong animal lover, dependable caregiver, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the trail. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life – from goofy labs to spunky chihuahuas and even a couple of pigs in-between. I know that pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. Whether I’m going for walks, doling out belly rubs, or just being a calming presence while you’re away, I treat every lil lady or fella in my care like they’re my own. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always keep your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priority. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, give meds if needed, and send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I work a 9-5 schedule that allows me to prioritize morning walks or cozy evenings in with a furry friend. Weekends Friday after 5 to Sunday evening I'm available for whatever your pet may need. I care for clients’ pets the same way I’d care for my own - with patience, attention, and lots of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on familiar walking routes, or giving extra snuggles while they're missing you. I also make communication a priority - I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident that your pet is not just looked after, but genuinely cared for.

“Olivia is very thoughtful sitter. I asked her to visit my place every other day to take care of my two cats. I had ant problem during my trip in Japan, but she managed situation very well. I could enjoy my trip. My 2 cats and I were very happy to hire her.”

“This was another great experience for us. Katie arrived on time, remembering Molly is a shy girl and she allowed Molly to approach and sniff a greeting. We reviewed Molly’s routine and home security and left for our day at Del Mar. it was reassuring to know that Katie would be dropping in during the day and the Rover Report Card pictures arrived promptly. Katie will continue to be our go-to person.”
