About: I have had dogs of all sizes and personalities growing up. My dog that I have now is a 3 year old salt/pepper miniature schnauzer who I’ve have had since a puppy- so I understand the importance of routine, play, and snuggle time. I had many family dogs that grew old and I took care of them in their senior years. My husband and I work hybrid so there is always someone home and your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. We both love dogs and will be able to treat your dog as one of ours during their stay with us. I have a very flexible hybrid job that allows me to adjust my schedule as needed. My husband also works hybrid. Both of us only go into office 1-2x/week but we alternate days so there is always someone at home. We live in a cozy apartment near plenty of walking paths. I walk our dog 3x a day and love adding in mental stimulation and playtime to keep pups happy. Your dog will be treated like one of ours—safe, loved, and relaxed. I may not have a backyard, but I make up for it with routine and attention. We incorporate play breaks, enrichment time, and provide a calm, loving home environment so your pup will never feel alone or unstimulated.
About: I grew up in western Michigan with beagles, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I love all animals but big dogs are my favorite. I have a senior rescue cat and have fostered many dogs. I would love to take care of your pets! I am a retired school teacher and administrator. After retiring, I worked in the PetSmart salon as a bather and groomer for 4 years. I am available 24/7 to take care of your pets. We have a large home in Irvine with a fenced yard. I am also happy to come to your home to care for and walk your pets.
“My pup Bibi had the best walk with Rachael! She came home and zoomed around in excitement and probably cannot wait to walk with her again. Thank you!”
“Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!”
About: @ pawfect.adventures_ - peace of mind for pet parents 💕 I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Before moving to California last year, I’ve spent 5 years helping foster animals — so I’m super comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have a pup of my own and have always been surrounded by furry friends, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone who’ll treat your pets like family. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a good game of fetch, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at home while you're away. ✨ A little extra love: Rover only lists 30-minute walks and drop-ins, but I stay 45 minutes to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve — no rush, no shortcuts! 🎉 First time using Rover? Use my code RANDIT47480 for $20 off your first booking! (New users only, one-time use) Looking forward to meeting your four-legged best friend soon! 🐶🐱💚 My schedule is flexible!

“Rachel was wonderful with our 2 rescue puppies while we were gone, especially with our little guy who has separation anxiety. She was prompt, followed dog care instructions, sent us very cute photos & communicated well. Appreciate her attention to details & will def be using her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care for the pets I watch. I truly see them as part of the family and always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience working with both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs. I’ve also worked with rescue dogs, and I understand that they sometimes need extra patience, compassion, and time to feel secure. We have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax and play, along with a great setup for potty breaks throughout the day. There are lots of quiet, safe places to go for walks. Pet care fits really naturally into our daily routine because we have flexible work schedules. There’s almost always someone here to give the dogs attention, care, and plenty of love. We also gave a dog who loves new friends!! If necessary we have the space to create separate areas for dogs who do best on their own. My goal is to make every dog feel at ease, whether they’re with us for a day or an extended stay. I also send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

From the start, Kim was warm, attentive, and totally tuned in to Kobe’s quirks and comforts. I got daily updates with cute photos and little stories — including Kobe claiming Kim’s backpack as his new kingdom. When I got home, Kobe was relaxed and happy. The apartment was spotless, and it was clear he’d been well-loved and well-cared for. If you’re looking for a cat sitter who treats your pet like family, Kim is the one!”

West Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was great! She was super flexible in setting up our initial video meeting and in scheduling a walk with our foster pup with short notice. She was professional,communicative, and friendly, and did a wonderful job in walking and tiring out our puppy! Definitely recommend her for your dog-walking needs!!
Irene was wonderful with Loki. Loki is very high energy and often reactive towards other dogs and men, but he’s always on his best behavior for her. He even made another dog-friend on a walk with her - which has NEVER happened before. The photos of him on his walk make my day! He loved her from the start and I’m so grateful for her help with him. Highly, highly recommend her!
I boarded my dogs with Ana previously and she was wonderful with my boys, so I trusted her to walk my dogs when I was away for an extended time. She already knew what to do, she communicated promptly with me, was on time, and most importantly took great care of my boys!
