“Patricia is amazing! She was able to accommodate for so much for our two big dogs in terms of crate space and attending to their needs. She was able to get them comfortable with her and have a good time during their stay. She was also flexible with times. I would take our boys back to her if we’re ever in the area again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Benison and Jennie were just awesome. They kept me updated with how my cat was everyday and made sure that she was comfortable and safe. They would be my number 1 pick for sitting any kittens or cats for sure!”
“My 2 rambunctious aussiedoodles were well taken care of with Al and his wife. He made sure to send me pictures during their stay and was so kind to let these 2 Velcro dogs sleep with him. Thank you!”
“Thavery was amazing! We needed a place to board our dog last minute and so glad we found her. We appreciated her flexibility with our changing schedules. She is so easy and pleasant to talk to. She let us stay with our dog for a few minutes to get her settled and she really made us at ease leaving our dog with her. She took really good care of our dog and our dog loved her. We will not hesitate to work with her again in the future!”
“Pluto and I are very lucky to have Rebecca take care of him when I'm away. I was gone for a week and I received the most enjoyable updates of Pluto having a great time--socializing and getting all the attention he needs.”
“Karla and her husband took such wonderful care of my dog Lilo during her overnight stay! I appreciated their helpful communication and the effort they took to get to know Lilo and help her feel at home. Would highly recommend! :)”
“Emily and Gabe were so great, they certainly are dog lovers! They took such great care of Tyson. They have a large backyard for running space and live in a great neighborhood for their daily walks. I received lots of pics and videos of their time together and could tell he was having a great time and not missing us much at all. Emily communicated with me the whole time and she did so many nice extra things to make sure Tyson's stay was an excellent one!”
“My dog, Arlo, stayed with Derek for over a week. I was given many picture and even some video updates that showed Arlo was in good hands the whole time. Quick to respond; would rebook.”
“I'm so thankful I found Reena. Now I can travel all over again and not to worry about my dog. Everytime I pick up my dog up from Reena, my dog looks happy and healthy. I highly recommend Reena if you are looking for a dog sitter in Tustin/Irvine area. She is the best!!”
“Ashley was amazing with our two girls! They loved being with her and got plenty of attention. I was happy to receive lots of pictures of their dog park outings too! They came home freshly bathed and very happy. We will definitely rebook with Ashley again.”
“Nancy and Richard are the very best! They have a wonderful home for taking care of your dog, and a wonderful enclosed backyard. My dogs received the best of care, and more walks than I can do. I would highly recommend them for your fur babies!”
“Our little Louie just came back from his 2nd stay at Candi’s house this week. It was another amazing stay just like the first time…Candi has great communication and makes being away from your precious pup as comfortable as possible. We’ll see you again in a couple months Candi!”
“So glad we found Monica. If you are looking for a sitter who has that 6th sense, look no further. We are extremely picky when it comes to our pup so we want him to be in good hands. We can rest assured that whenever he’s with Monica, he’s in great hands.”
“Great thoughtful sitter who took care of our dog for a week! The pictures and updates showed me that she was cared for with affection. Would definitely trust our dog with Doug again!”
“Yoshiko was very kind to Ralph. She also sent us pictures and videos regularly, which put our minds at ease. Ralph and we both loved her and would ask her again‼︎‼︎”
“Avancon did a fine job of taking care of my dog. He asked all the right questions about her habits and special needs. He provided lots of pictures which reassured me that my dog was adjusting well. I can highly recommend Avancon”
About: I grew up with a dog, but really learned about dog training when I rescued my dog, Meatball. She has taught me a lot about dog ownership, dog training and what goes into making a home a calm, structured environment where a dog can feel comfortable and thrive. I can administer oral medications and give injections. I am also happy to manage topical treatments as well. I work from home most days and am around in the evenings. I crate dogs when I head to the gym or store. If you like your dog to get out for adventures, I'm happy to take them with me to run errands, to the local brewery and to on hikes and walks in new places with new smells. Walks happen at 7am and 4pm, with a potty break before bedtime. More walks can be added if needed. I am a fan of structured play in the evenings as well - fetch, tug and other games that balance fun and listening. For daytime care, dogs are out of their crates and usually hanging out in the office with me while I work. At bedtime, all pups are tucked into their crates. Crates can be in the living room or guest room, depending on owner preference. I do not allow dogs on my furniture or in beds - I find it makes it harder to maintain hierarchy in a new environment. I ensure everyone gets plenty of affection and attention.
“Niloofar was absolutely amazing with Cuddles. He had a blast playing with her and her dog and cat! She kept me posted about how he was doing. Took such great care of him! Will definitely book her again.”
“Vi was fantastic with Cal and I would trust her to take care of Cal for future boarding. Cal is a recent rescue so I wanted to make sure he was with someone who will provide him with the care he needs. Vi provided Cal with toys, lots of walks and plenty of snuggles. She would update me with pictures and videos of how he was doing daily so that put me at ease. It was also great knowing that she works from home so Cal had a buddy majority of time to hang out with. This was my first Rover experience and it has been an awesome one with Vi. Thank you again for taking care of my lil Cal.”
“I recently moved out to a different area and I was worried about finding a sitter who could take care of my reactive pup but my dog bloo really loves going to Alison. She’s great with communicating and providing videos/photos during boarding and I feel relieved knowing I can bring my dog to her whenever I need. She was flexible and watched my dog even when she was busy with work, she also let me know bloo was a pleasure to have around and that’s always nice to hear. I’ve never seen her so excited to see any other sitter and it’s nice to see how much she cares for bloo. I can tell my dog bloo really likes Alison, and I do too! i highly recommend her and will definitely bring bloo back whenever I need the help!”

Wilshire Square dog parents share their Rover experiences
Back to back weekends Carolyn watched Tilly. Thank you for treating her she is yours. Plenty of walks and special attention. Thanks again for everything!!
Alexandra was amazing watching my 110 pound mastiff. Her confidence around my large pup, put my pup at ease while I was away. She’s very timely in her communication, and does a wonderful job keeping in touch while away and does daily photos! Alexandra was also great at giving my dog the exercise she needs to sleep through WFH days haha! Will definitely be using her again :)
Karla and her husband took such wonderful care of my dog Lilo during her overnight stay! I appreciated their helpful communication and the effort they took to get to know Lilo and help her feel at home. Would highly recommend! :)
Yoshiko took good care of Toto, it showed when we picked her up. She also communicated daily with photos and videos, which we appreciate. Highly recommended!
My dog Milo gives her two paws up! 🤩 She treated him like he was one of her own. Her dogs were well behaved and welcoming to Milo. No scratches or bites or concerns. I’ll be using Dianna again in the nearest future.
Jeff was absolutely wonderful with Pepper! 🐾 From the moment we met, he made us feel so comfortable. He was so flexible with drop-off and pick-up, which made everything so easy for us. The updates and adorable photos he sent showed just how happy and relaxed Pepper was—it meant the world to us knowing she was in such loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly, highly recommend Jeff! 🐶❤️
My dog, Arlo, stayed with Derek for over a week. I was given many picture and even some video updates that showed Arlo was in good hands the whole time. Quick to respond; would rebook.
We were so grateful that Marisela was able to take in our pup Bean last minute!! Bean came back so tired & happy that she napped the entire rest of the day. I loved all the updates & appreciate the flexibility that Marisela gave us with timing. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for Bean and Artie to play again :)
Nelson and Nancy continue to come through for us. We were really stretched thin when a family member unexpectedly ended up in the hospital. They were so wonderful, understanding, and flexible with our ever-changing schedule that happens in these cases. They removed so much stress from an already intense situation and we can't thank them enough!
To say that the boys love her would be an understatement. Yep, the 2 dogs are almost obsessed with her. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that not only are our special family members safe, they are beyond happy as well
Holly provided me with perfect service. She took care of my dog for a week and kept in touch day/night. We went out of her way for me and I would recommend her for pet sitting. My dog has separation anxiety and because Holly took such good care of her my dog made it through the week and was not full of anxiety when I got home . Thank you Holly
Hector was an amazing pet sitter. He often reassured me on what my puppy, Tsuki, was doing each day. He would send multiple pictures and videos of her walks and when she would eat and drink, and even play. I would most definitely choose Hector in a heartbeat again for future stays.
Anastasiia was incredible! Last minute booking for my 6 month old pup Bowie. She stayed in conact and even sent pictures and a video. I will be using her again for when my family vacations. Great communicator and her love of animals is apparent. 6 STAR RATING
Tawny did a great job taking care of Ruby! I was actually able to enjoy myself on my trip knowing that Ruby was not only safe but she was happy. Tawny sent me photos and updates daily to help put myself at ease. Ruby had the best time and was all tuckered out when she came back home. I will definitely use Tawny again!
Shortly after I dropped Zenji off for his second stay with Tommy, Zenji injured his dew claw. Tommy immediately contacted me and sent photos and asked how I would like to address the issue. It was a scary situation and I felt badly that Tommy had to handle this extra care. However, I appreciated that I could trust Tommy to assess the situation as a non-emergency. He kept me updated on Zenji's condition and had prompt responses to my texts. Tommy also adhered to Zenji's detailed medication schedule. I really appreciate Tommy's professionalism and reliability. I highly recommend him as a sitter!
Amazing human, thank you patience for helping me with Harley and teaching me what was causing her to have an allergic reaction. You have been amazing and I’m no doubt only having you care for my dog. Thanks for all the updates and photos also.
Angie was great with our girl! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating with the meet & greet before and the pick up/drop off times. She took great care of our girl and kept us updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend & will definitely use again!
Arianne was a wonderful sitter for my senior pup! This was our 1st time with Arianne and she made my pup feel so warm and comfortable. I received daily updates on their day together, so we felt connected and at ease. Thank you again Arianne for the tender loving care you gave her! We’ll see you again soon.
This is our second time boarding our Golden retriever Chutney with Kiel. Kiel is easy to communicate with and takes chutney on fun adventures like hikes and walks on the boardwalk. Chutney seemed well exercised and happy on his return home which is all we can hope for! We will definitely board with Kiel again.
I needed help last minute, Rachel & Kevin were able to accommodate. Rachel dedicated the time to do a meet and greet prior to booking. During Jerry’s stay, I got updates with cute pictures and videos. I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thank you Rachel & Kevin for taking care of Jerry!❤️
