House Sitting in Thornton Park, Santa Ana, CA

“As a first-time user I was hesitant but Lisbet put us at ease. She showed up on time, gave us pupdates, house was left in order, and pup seemed happy.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Tam was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Her compassionate nature and respect for our home left us truly impressed. Despite our dog's severe anxiety, Tam worked wonders, creating a warm environment that eased our pet's worries. She adhered to our dog's eating/potty schedule and delivered an exceptional level of care. Without a doubt, we'll be rebooking with Tam in the future. Thank you again, Tam, for your outstanding service!”

“We are lucky we found Lauren to help care for our dog. She’s extremely responsive and reliable. She understood all the instructions we provided and kept us updated throughout the day. We felt at ease having her sit our dog. She’s is a gem and we are happy to book her again.”

“This was our first sitting with Victoria and I would gladly have her back again. Our meet and greet went very well. Our princess kitty felt comfortable with Victoria from the very beginning. I felt like Victoria was very thorough with making sure she knew where everything is and how we like to do things. She even had a checklist of items at the end of our meeting to make sure we covered all the essentials. On the day of the sitting, it went really well. Victoria sent photos regularly along with updates. It was comforting for me to know that our kitty was well taken care of while we were gone. Victoria helped to relieve some extra stress just by being in good communication. We came home to a happy kitty. We all were very happy with Victoria as a cat sitter and hope to have her back again soon the next time we leave.”

“Suzanne was extremely caring and gentle with my sensitive doodle Romeo. She brushed him as he sat next to her and he loved it. It looked like he had been to the salon when I got home! Thank you, Suzanne!”

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Brandie and William are Amazing. Not only did they step in to watch my 2 dogs last minute on Christmas Eve for the week, they did such a great job. Brandie texted me everyday and night and sent photos, making me feel happy and comfortable while I was gone knowing my dogs were in good hands. She is an absolute sweetheart and so good with pets. I would highly recommend her and her boyfriend to watch anyone’s fur babies and I’m already booking them for my next dog sitting.”

“Opal did an excellent job of watching our 3 dogs- who can definitely be a handful! She communicated before, during and after the engagement which was very helpful. She confirmed with us when she completed each of their walks, when they completed their meals and pictures were sent daily. I personally like getting lots of pictures while we are gone and she was very willing to do so. Thanks Opal!”

“Audrey has been an amazing care giver to my dog. He's half Cavalier and half Aussie so he can be high energy - especially as a puppy, and Audrey was able to provide him with loving fun filled care. My dog absolutely adores her and gets really excited when I tell him we're going to see auntie Audrey!”

“Grady was in great hands with Tommy. He was on time, ready to go and very sweet with Grady. Tommy and Grady checked in with some cute pics and an update while we were out which was much appreciated. Thanks for the fantastic care! 👍🏼👍🏼”

“I am delighted to provide this letter of recommendation for Zhu Huan, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing as a highly skilled pet caregiver. Zhu's proficiency in animal care is truly exceptional and worthy of recognition. One aspect that sets Zhu apart is their unwavering compassion towards animals. I have witnessed numerous instances where Zhu has gone above and beyond to ensure the well-being of pets under their care. For instance, when a neighbor's dog fell ill unexpectedly, Zhu volunteered to stay overnight to monitor its condition and provide round-the-clock care until it recovered. Furthermore, Zhu's reliability is unmatched. They consistently demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and dedication in their pet care duties. Whether it's adhering to strict feeding schedules, administering medications, or providing exercise and playtime, Zhu approaches each task with diligence and enthusiasm. Additionally, Zhu's attention to detail is remarkable. They are meticulous in following instructions provided by pet owners and are quick to notice any changes in behavior or health, ensuring prompt action when necessary. For example, during a recent pet-sitting assignment, Zhu noticed subtle signs of discomfort in a cat and promptly alerted the owner, leading to early intervention and treatment that prevented a potential health issue from escalating. In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Zhu Huan as a pet caregiver. Their exceptional compassion, reliability, and attention to detail make them a valuable asset in any pet care setting.”

“I highly recommend Adriana for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. She is not only an avid pet lover but also extremely committed, always punctual, and excellent at communication. My experience with her was fantastic; she made sure my furry friend was not only well taken care of but also had a great time. It's evident that she genuinely cares for animals and goes above and beyond to ensure their happiness and well-being. Thank you, Adriana, for your exceptional service!”

“I’ve used many sitters before and Cathy is definitely someone I trust. She sends cute pics and fills out the rover card which is my fave part so I get a good idea on how the day was and this makes me very happy. Highly recommend !”

“Halley was great from the start. She is super responsive and offered to come over early to meet our cat and dog before we left. She watched them at our house, followed all of our animals feeding/care instructions, and sent us adorable pictures for updates. We would love to have her watch them again in the future! Thanks Halley :)”

“Yoshiko was one of THE BEST sitter we've ever had. She kept the place extremely clean, probably even cleaner than when we left it. Our dog looked healthy and happy in Yoshiko's care. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, and very respectful of our space. We've had many Rover sitters in the past, and we'd always be nervous leaving our dog in someone else's care, but Yoshiko made us feel extremely at ease while being away. We would definitely have Yoshiko care for our dog again any time we're away.”

“June was a lifesaver at the last minute when we headed out on a family trip. She was great with all three of our lovebugs and checked in often as needed. We will definitely use her again.”

“Lilah was absolutely awesome. I was skeptical at first since it was my first time using rover.com but I found the best pet sitter on the site. My dogs were instantly comfortable with Lilah. She is sweet and knows how to take care of them. She sent pictures and updates throughout my trip and even texted to ask permission to go out or to have a friend over. It was a long trip and I didn't get home until 2am. I was pleasantly surprised to come home to freshly washed bedsheets and a clean house. I would recommend Lilah to everyone. If you want an excellent, reliable and trustworthy sitter, Lilah is the one you want...”

“Melanie was a perfect sitter for our 2 yr old toy poodle while we were away for an extended trip. It was our first time leaving him for this long without family so we were nervous to be away, but Melanie was communicative the entire time and handled everything exactly as we asked. When we got home, our little guy was excited to see us, but clearly had been enjoying himself in Melanie’s care. She took great care of our house, too. Looking forward to having her back next time! Thanks, Melanie!”

“Ann has demonstrated an unparalleled level of responsibility, dedication and love in caring for my beloved puppy and I cannot speak highly enough of her service. What truly sets Ann apart is her genuine love for animals and the patience she possesses. I have complete piece of mind knowing that my pups is in the care of someone who treats him like her own. If you are fortunate enough to have Ann care for your pet, you can rest assured that they are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares.”

“Cannot recommend Nallely enough! She took great care of my two dogs and was even able to get my extremely shy and timid dog outside. Will be using her again!”
