We are from out of town (Sacramento) and had Chelsea watch our 2 dogs in our hotel while we went to the Disney parks last year. We had never left them with a sitter before so we’re a bit nervous. She sent us updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which put our minds at ease. Our girls seemed to have so much fun and really liked her that when we decided to come to the Disney parks again this year, we didn’t want to hire any other sitter but Chelsea. We don’t leave our girls with just anybody and It’s so nice to have a sitter we can trust so we could enjoy our family vacation at places we can’t take them and not have to worry. We could just enjoy ourselves and know that our girls are in good hands. We highly recommend Chelsea if you’re ever in the Anaheim area visiting or if you live in the area and need a sitter for your fur babies.

About: UCLA Alum and policy professional with a dependable, hybrid schedule. I specialize in pet concierge service for clients including principals, c-suite, medical professionals, and start-up founders. Attention to detail is critical to serve both the client and pets specific needs. I’ve grown up with dogs from puppy age to elderly. I watch dog training videos in my free time. I nursed my own puppy at 3 months old back to health when she broke her leg. That means I’m persistent and dedicated to loving on pets to make them happy. It also means I can get creative with getting pets to take their medicine and supplements. I am pleased for the opportunity to serve you and your furry family. Thank you for your valuable time. I mostly work from home, 8 am to 5 pm. With planning and forethought, I am happy to help you when I am not working. I treat your pets like my pets! I am happy to give ample exercise and play to your pets indoors and outdoors, whatever your preference.

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.

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.

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.

Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.

Tritia took care of our babies when we needed help for 2 nights in our home. Our golden retriever got extremely anxious seeing us leave and once Tritia arrived she made our pets very comfortable quickly. My dog got so anxious he gave himself a brand new heat rash the day we left 😔 . I gave Tritia care instructions which were followed to the T and that heat rash was fully healed upon our return. Communication is great, sending us updates those 2 days we were out of town. We trust Tritia to take care of our little babies again whenever we need (thank you!). 100% recommend.

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 !

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 $65.13 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,359 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anaheim. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
