This our third time using Chelsea and she is nothing short of magic. We’ve trusted her in our home. We have trusted her with our most precious fur baby. She’s been kind, loving, on time, professional and someone we can call a friend. Thank you, Chelsea.

Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.

Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.

About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.

We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

About: 🐾I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I’m happy to make sure they have a safe and fun time! I’m reliable, attentive, patient, and caring and will always make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and gets the exercise they need. I treat every animal like they’re my own and love sending updates and photos/videos so you know they’re having a great time! My weekly schedule is pretty flexible, and I usually have a lot of availability throughout the day. Some weeks look different than others, but I keep my calendar updated and make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to! Boarding/Day care: I have a large backyard for your dogs to roam around, play, and relax! They’ll be lots of play time in the yard if not they’ll be inside with the AC on and relax. House sitting: I respect each pet’s comfort level and approach them on their terms! I’m comfortable cleaning up any accidents in the house, following feeding schedules, and crating pets if needed. There will be lots of play time too of course.

I specialize in species dog that may be reactive, require companionship, mental stimulation , & medication. Walks will be supervised closely for any other surroundings. Happy to assure you that if need be, I can de-escalate a situation if another pet does come closer than they should be while we walk. Whether your fur baby is big or small, I will gladly work with them. Happy to work with puppies or seniors fur babies that need a little extra help. Just please be sure to leave detailed instructions of anything you feel I need to know. I’m currently attending school full time. Classes are Monday-Friday from 8:30a-1p. Open to coming before or after class to fit the needs your pet needs. I am unavailable from 5-6p. After 6:30p I’m more than happy to do late night potty breaks, walks, or company your pet.

Respecting not only the home but pets & owner as well. Hope to build trust with my clients by keeping communication, follow thorough instructions (when specified), and providing a safe space for your pet around me.

Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !

She was reliable, caring, and attentive to his needs, keeping him happy and well-exercised. We were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind knowing Enzo was in such great hands. Highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!"

About: I've grown up with pets and have always been aware of each of their personalities and telling communication. Some prefer space and some prefer attention and I can easily provide either depending on the owners or pet's needs/wants. I work as a behavior technician and the summer schedule is slower. I still have 1-2 clients each day but only for 3-4 hours a day so I can easily take care of a pet and then go to my client, then come back. My weekends are always busy. I cannot take pets to my apartment since my floor does not allow pets with hardwood flooring, but I can go to the pets home, walk, take them in my car to go to a dog park/beach, and care for them in their own home. I respect the owners and pet's spaces because if it were my own, I would want trust in this relationship.

About: I've grown up with dogs and other pets for 10+ years, I also have experience dog and cat sitting for families for days to weeks at a time. I am also a very active and outdoorsy person, I love exploring new places especially if I can bring a cute pup with me! My family dog averages about 3-5 miles a day walking and playing at the park or beach. I think it is very important that dogs get a good amount of time each day to get some good exercise to keep them happy and healthy as that has been implemented in my family with our pets. I am a college student attending Chapman University in Orange California which is a huge priority for me. Although it is summer I am taking one class that is hybrid, so on Mondays I attend virtually from 9AM-12PM (the ending time does vary day to day but typically I log off between 11:30AM and 12:00PM) and Tuesdays and Thursdays I attend in person on campus from 9AM-12PM. Other than that though my schedule is very much open! I have a car so I am able to commute wherever I may be needed. Depending on owners preferences, I can spend as much time with the pets as needed whether it's playing, walks, feeding, or some chill time. Other than my class schedule I can be available at any time needed. Whatever schedule pets may have I can adapt to fit their needs.

We booked Lyndsey last minute for a 15 night stay and she was amazing! We were a bit nervous leaving our doggos Addy and Oakley for so long especially as we were traveling to Italy for a wedding. We screened Lindsey on a Sunday thought she was great and met her during the week so she could have a chance to meet the dogs before we left. Lyndsey was so great that we wondered if the dogs liked her more than us! She provided videos/pictures two times per day and there were zero issues. We will definitely use Lyndsey again and have recommended her to other friends/neighbors in the area. Thank you Lyndsey for taking such great care of our dogs! (They miss you btw!)

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, reliability, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. With 10 years of experience in pet care, I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, or simply offering a quick drop by for companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also believe communication is key, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a dependable, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, creating a relationship built on trust, consistency, and genuine care. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make both of you feel secure. Pet care is my full-time focus so I structure my daily routine around the pets in my care. Because I'm available throughout the day, I can provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps pets feels comfortable and secure while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Since caring for pets is my primary commitment, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and special care needs. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. Building that trust and creating a safe environment for all parties is my top priority. Before each stay or drop in, I make sure I understand your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and exercise routines to medications, allergies, and any household preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas of the home are secure so your pet stays safe at all times. I also treat every client's homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep the space clean and organized, follow any instructions provided, and make sure your home is cared for while you're away. Again, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same care and attention they would get from a trusted family member.

Katherine stayed in our home for 2 weeks with our cat and dog. We were impressed with her work experience, training in pet emergency care and CPR, and her pursuit of further veterinary studies. At the first meeting she was warm and engaging with us and more importantly with our pets. Our 65lb dog Teddy liked her so much he immediately sat next to her on the couch. Katherine was very aware of our pets' needs and spent a lot of time with them playing and taking walks. She also administered ear medication for Teddy twice a day. We got lots of updates and pictures, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our sweet boys were well taken care of.

Chelsea was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just take amazing care of our dog, she took exceptional care of our home as well. From remembering trash day, asking about the gardeners, bringing packages inside, and making sure everything was in order, she thought of every little detail. Walking through the front door after our trip to find our home so well cared for was such a wonderful feeling. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also took my requests seriously, especially about never letting our dog outside alone because of the coyotes in our area. It was clear she genuinely cared about keeping him safe and happy. Chelsea truly went above and beyond in every way. She is kind, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be using her services again in a heartbeat. We are so grateful for everything she did!

​Highly Recommend Jackie! ​Jackie was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! From our very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly conscientious—taking detailed notes about their schedules and asking thoughtful questions to ensure they received the exact care they needed. ​She provided regular daily updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were wonderfully cared for, but what impressed us most was how she handled our more anxious pup. She usually gets very stressed when the family leaves, but she was completely relaxed, happy, and at ease with Jackie. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Nisa was my life saver! After another walker had ghosted me before a big trip she pulled through on such short notice. She was everything my two boys needed and more. This was my first time leaving my boys overnight but she calmed every nerve with her communication and updates. One of my dogs is extremely reactive with fear based aggression, this was nothing Nisa couldn’t handle! He warmed right up to her and didn’t want to see her go once I returned! As if she wasn’t gift from god before, she was set to leave to work the last day of her visit but after one of my boys unexpectedly threw up she dropped everything to stay with them until I got there several hours later. I cannot thank her enough, it was clear that she really cared for my boys and that’s a gift thats priceless. Please consider booking with Nisa, it’ll be the best decision you can make for your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Anaheim

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Anaheim on Rover is $62.44 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 12,560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anaheim. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Anaheim walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Anaheim maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Anaheim choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
