“This was our second time having Emma care for our two cats, and we will use her again! Communication is great, she sends good photos, completes all care, and is patient with our shy kitties. We feel confident knowing she will provide good care.”
“Seren is amazing. Our kitties love her and she takes such good care of them. We always appreciate her detailed summaries and pictures from her visits. So happy to have found someone so dependable and that our boys feel so comfortable with.”
“i trusted Stacie with my two mischievous cats as I went on a week long trip with limited cell service. she took excellent care of my boys and was always timely and communicative”
“Camille has consistently been an excellent sitter for our kitties! She cares for them as if they’re her own, has excellent communication and is very reliable. We are so happy to have found her and will be repeat customers!!”
“I booked Viktoriia for a drop in visit for my baby boy, Charlie. Viktoriia took great care of Charlie and followed my instructions/guidance perfectly. It's hard to find someone you trust so looking forward for her to take care of Charlie in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for cats and various sizes of dogs nearly my whole life. I’ve even raised kittens from birth. As an animal lover, playing with, exercising, snuggling and generally looking after animals of all kinds is exciting for me. I have a flexible start and end time for work Monday through Friday. I’m typically available for longer periods of time on the weekends, including overnight sitting. I’m usually available after 5pm, Monday - Friday. If early morning or early evening drop-in visits or a walk is needed, please send me a message so we can work out any details. Sitting for your pet in your home allows me hangout with and care for them while their comfort levels are maintained. We’ll also have access to all their favorite toys and treats!
“My fur babies loved Tracy so much 🥹 One of my cats is usually a little reserved when meeting new people but she warmed up to Tracy the very first time they met. Tracy has a very calm and welcoming presence, I think any shy cat would feel comfortable around her. I wasn’t worried when I was away because Tracy regularly updated me with photos and videos. Will definitely be booking her the next time I need someone to watch my cats.”
“Bailie took great care of my kitties while I was away! She made sure they stayed clean, fed, and entertained, and she provided me with daily updates on how they were doing! :)”
“Matthew was an amazing cat sitter for us. He communicated well and would send us daily updates about the cats. He gave them meds and even emptied the litter! He spent extra time with them playing and making sure they got everything they needed. Our house was just as spotless as when we left town. Would highly recommend.”
“Dawn was wonderful! I received daily pictures, and my cat was loving life with his new best friend (did he even miss me while I was gone?!). I will not hesitate to book Dawn again in the future. Thank you!”
“Karolina was on time, communicative, and followed the instructions given. I would definitely use her again to watch my pup. It was comforting to know my dog was well taken care of during her check-ins.”
About: I’m not just a dog lover — I have real hands-on experience. I’ve trained puppies from the ground up and nursed pups back to health that had giardia and parvovirus, so I know how to spot when something’s off and act fast. I’m also an active, outdoorsy sitter; daily walks, runs, and fresh air are part of the routine, not an afterthought. Your dog gets attentive care and an energetic companion. I’m available every day except Sunday mornings — happy to work around your schedule the rest of the week. Must book 24hr before for daycare & overnight services I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible; feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always read and follow the notes and details owners give me to ensure I’m meeting their pet’s specific needs and best practices. Beyond that, I pay close attention to the animal’s cues; body language, energy level, mood so I can adjust in the moment and respond to what they need, not just what’s on a checklist. Whether it’s your home or mine, the goal is the same: a safe, comfortable, low-stress experience for your pet.
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing and left us not having to worry about our 3 kitties while we were away for the holidays. She took care of our house too and sent so many daily pictures and updates of everyone. We were happy to come home and just be with our cute kitties since everything was taken care of. Thank you again Jennifer, we will definitely be using you again!”
About: I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a big decision, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and happy while you're away. I take the time to get to know each animal's personality, preferences, and routine—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving them space when needed, or spending extra time playing and giving affection. I’m attentive to signs of stress, changes in behavior, or anything unusual, and I’ll always keep you updated with honest communication, photos, or check-ins, however often you prefer. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll be genuinely cared for. I treat animals with patience, kindness, and respect, and I’m always happy to follow any instructions or special needs they may have. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible weekly schedule! I am a morning person so have no problem going to your home early if needed. Depending on the type of sitter you are looking for, I shave no problem spending quality time with your animal in the comfort of your own home or if you need someone to check in on your sweet, independent pets!
“Collin is awesome! I highly recommend him for your pet care. I have a 4 month old kitten and need someone to come play with him when I am out. When I got home my kitten was tuckered out! I received pictures and updates. Such a relief to be able to go out and know someone is caring for your pet. Thanks Collin!”
“Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again”
“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”

We hired Seren for the first time for drop in visits for our cat for 5 days. She visit our Karma twice a day and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our kitty was doing and what she did during the visit. This was my first time leaving my cat home alone (we normally do housesitting) so I was a little nervous and worried she would be lonely. But Seren provided excellent care and attention, I know our Karma enjoyed her staycation! Thanks Seren!
DanaRene is amazing! I've booked her a few times and she's lovely with the cats. Even my shyest one comes out to see her and play. Everything is spotless when I get back. She's really communicative, responsive, on time, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her.
Isabel took care of our two cats for two weeks while we were away. She did a wonderful job. Both of our cats loved her, and they were happy and relaxed when we came home. She was reliable and caring, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend Isabel and will book her again!
Radhika is the best in her job and it’s not a surprise she has this many good reviews! She’s great at reading animals and adjusting her methods accordingly. She’s been the best at handling my feisty cat and inspires me a lot. I couldn’t have been more thankful for everything she has done!
Yeji did daily check-ins for my 15 years old cat while I was out of the country for two weeks. Everything went really well, she communicated well and was able to accommodate additional requests with grace. I highly recommend her and she will be my number one choice in the future when available.
Sofiya did an amazing job with our kitties. They are shy and they loved her. Sofiya sent daily updates and videos and when we returned home everything was perfect. My cat that hides from strangers heard her voice and ran to the door to see her. I will definitely have Sofiya as our primary pet sitter. I highly recommend Sofiya. Diana
Hayley really put our minds at ease when we were away as we trusted her both with our cat and our home! She was reliable, meticulous, communicative and delightful. Our shy introverted cat adores her and it was obvious that Hayley cared very much both about our cat and about doing a good job. We loved receiving the cute photos and videos of our Cat she shared. Hayley is a gem and we hope she will come back next time to help out we are away! Thank you Hayley!
Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Denise for taking care of Gemma (& all the house hiccups) this past holiday week! She kept our minds at peace while we were back East thousands of miles away. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Denise...I have had about a dozen sitters over the past 10 years and Gemma was the most calm and like herself upon our return out of any sitting experience I have ever had. So grateful for you, Denise!
Diana took great care of my 10 year old cat. Twice a day she checked-in and provided a detailed update and photos--easing my concerns for my cat's well-being. When my flight was delayed a day, Diana stepped in to provide extra care. I will gladly work with Diana again.
Celine was amazing with my cat, Starsky. The photos and updates from each visit were great and very reassuring that he was very well taken care of. Love the little details about Starsky’s actions she’d throw in the update, it let me know that she was really attentive and he was a happy cat. She really went above and beyond and I would book with her again for sure.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Aliso Viejo is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
