“Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book again!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud cat parent to two cats of my own. Over the past several years, I've helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I'll provide patient, attentive care tailored to their needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide photo updates so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for!!! Message me your cuties! I would love to meet you and your loves! Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two cats of my own. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, evening, and weekend visits. I make time every day to provide reliable care, exercise, playtime, and companionship for pets. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide photo updates during visits. Message me if you have any special requests. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings to ensure a safe and positive experience. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: I started petsitting for friends while they went on vacation. I have experience caring for multiple dogs. My "regulars" are four dogs for about two weeks at a time, and also pet sit for friends with three, two, and one dog. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medicine, and following each pet’s normal routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and I am available most days, including weekdays. Happy to work with you and your pet's usual routine 🙂 I follow pets usual routines and any instructions from their owners. I make sure they’re supervised and comfortable. I want everyone to feel at ease.

About: Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am officially certified in Pet CPR through the RECOVER Initiative—the evidence-based gold standard developed by veterinary emergency specialists. Lifelong pet lover specializing in patient, low-stress drop-in care for senior dogs and cats in the comfort of their home. I understand that aging pets need extra patience, steady footing, and a gentle, familiar routine rather than high-energy commotion. What to expect from my visits: • Senior Dog Care: Unhurried backyard let-outs, careful support with mobility/stairs, fresh water, and gentle, calm companionship. • Cat Visits: Quiet, boundary-respecting drop-ins, thorough litter box maintenance, and personalized feeding routines. • Weekday Walks (Small to Medium Dogs): Calm, one-on-one 30-minute neighborhood strolls tailored for small and medium pups (up to 40 lbs). Perfect for gentle midday exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent potty routines while you’re at work. For safety and comfort, walks are strictly private (no pack walks) using standard leashes and secure harnesses. • Health & Details: Strict adherence to medication schedules, special diets, and precise owner instructions. • Peace of Mind: Punctual check-ins, home security vigilance, and detailed photo updates from every single visit. Pet care fits naturally into my flexible freelance schedule, meaning your pets get unhurried, focused attention during every visit. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date.  walkers. • Drop-In Visits (7 Days/Week): Flexible morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Ideal for cats and dogs needing meals, medication, potty breaks, and companionship. • Dog Walking (7 Days/Week): Calm neighborhood walks tailored to your dog's pace and energy level. Best suited for small-to-medium pups and gentle leash-walkers. Your home’s security and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities.  • Strictly follow feeding, fresh water, medication, and cleanup routines.  • Always double-check exterior doors, gates, and locks before leaving.  • Practice attentive outdoor safety: short leashes, checking pavement temperature, and steering clear of unfamiliar off-leash dogs.  • Every visit ends with a visual safety check, followed by detailed notes and photos for your peace of mind.

About: Hi everyone! I am a recent Chapman graduate looking to make some money all while spending time with the ones I love most: furry friends! I own a cat currently and grew up with multiple large dogs as well cats. I am comfortable with all sizes of dog breeds and all cats. I would love to help out your best friend(s) and maybe become their second best friend😉 I am looking for extra work outside of my weekday job. It’s a bonus that I get to spend my weekend with a furry friend! I am happy to be active with your animal outside or stay in for lots of snuggles. I am looking to service out of other people's homes. I always leave the space clean with your animal fed and just having a potty break if needed. A happy pet will make a happy owner!

“Emilie's visit with Lady and Ranger was excellent! Both pups took a liking to her, I don't think Ranger left her side the whole time! Having a small dog as well, Emilie was very familiar with Lady's behaviors. Both dogs enjoyed her presence and I'd be happy if she continued to watch them.”

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and am used to having a pet filled household. I know the variety of personalities our pets can have and how best to interact with them based on that. I have sat for both cats and dogs previously and have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I have taken care of cats on a regular basis. I know the cuddle bugs and the ones that want to be left alone well. I have take care of a variety of dogs including a Chihuahua sized dog and a Great Pyrenees (120 lbs). I have dog sat 4 dogs for roughly 3 days before. Of the bunch, some just wanted to chill and one wanted to play fetch as much as possible. I have also taken care of pet medical care. Specifically, giving a dog twice daily pills and administering inhaler medicine for a cat. I am reliable, will communicate often, and love sending photos of how cute your pet is being! I am open to pet-sitting, pet check ins, and dog walks. I am currently flexible with scheduling but will need sufficient notice. I'm currently working part-time and am available to give your pets loving care. Mondays and Wednesday I am gone for over 6 hours in the morning. Otherwise, my schedule is currently flexible and I do have the ability to check in regularly or stay over. I will talk with you in detail to get to know your pets habits and routine. I will follow all instructions and review them regularly. My goals are to keep their routine as much the same as possible and give them extra attention.

I work full time as a Para- educator working for Orange County Department Of Education. I work from 6:30AM - 3PM but no need to worry my husband works from home! So your fur babies are never alone. We became pet sitters because we know how valuable these family members are to each and every family. We both have been dog owners throughout our life, each and everyone taught us so much about caring for another being. We are great sitters because we both have a wealth of experience, which allows us to understand and respect the needs of your fur babies. We know how hard it is for them to be away from their owners and promise to treat them like our own. Thank you for your consideration and we are so excited to meet you and your babies! What Gloria & Romell would like to know about your dog: Before sitting your dog I enjoy hearing about your dogs personality, if they have any special needs and what their typical schedule is. I am happy to follow any and all instructions. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Senior Dog Experience Can provide daily exercise First Aid I work full-time from 6:30 AM - 3PM, my husband works from home so your dogs have ample amount of opportunity for potty breaks and play time throughout the morning. We travel during the months of June, August, November and December. We do our best to work with client schedules, having notice ahead of time helps us help you! We are available for early morning drop offs and pick ups. Unfortunately we do not have a yard but we give the dogs full range of our apartment. We also have dog park in our apartment complex that allows us to give pups plenty of exercise!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience growing up on a ranch, where I've cared for a wide variety of pets. This background has equipped me with valuable skills in handling different animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for senior pets, or tending to unique species, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion to ensure the highest level of care for every furry friend. My hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal behavior allow me to tailor my services to meet the specific requirements of each pet, setting me apart as a reliable and dedicated caregiver. I’m a college student living on campus hundreds of miles away from home and my own fur babies. Outside of school I have lots of free time and would love to spend it doing something I love and enjoy. For in-house pet care services, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets in their familiar environment. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, engaging in playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe environment. I also offer companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety while their owners are away. Additionally, I can perform basic grooming tasks such as brushing and nail trimming if needed. Throughout the pet care process, I maintain clear communication with the pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns promptly.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families pets over the last 15 years. I have had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments and ages. I have a pair that frequently stay with us. About 4 times a year for 2-week periods. I’ve attended training classes with my own dog. I work from home full time. I do drop off and pickup for my 3 kids. Their school is a 7 minute walk from home. On the weekends I normally run errands (groceries, etc) with my twins while my husband manages my son’s baseball commitment. We’re fortunate to have great backyard space and a pool that is fenced in. There is space for a playground for my kids and grass area for the dogs. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the space we have given that we live in Orange County. Our dogs are welcome to sit on the couches/beds.

Emily was wonderful from the very first meet and greet. Loki and Freya loved her immediately, and that set the tone for the whole stay. She sent the most beautiful photos of my cats, and you could tell they were genuinely happy and well cared for. She fed them exactly the way they like, including their toppers and spent so much time playing with them. Loki and Freya were playing, relaxed, and even showing affection to each other. That meant a lot. I felt completely at ease leaving them with her. Highly recommend Emily if you want someone kind, attentive, and truly great with cats

Dhalia was an absolute dream to work with! I was a bit nervous because I had never used a drop in service before but Dhalia’s professionalism and willingness calmed my nerves. I felt safe with her in the AirBnB with all the unexpected dog activity near Biscuit. Biscuit isn’t a cuddler in general and to hear that she felt comfortable enough to hang as such with Dhalia was a testament to how well she was with anxious pets. I LOVED her report card they were so detailed and all the pictures and videos of her wiggly little butt were soooo awesome. If I am ever in the area again with Biscuit I will 💯 will be using her again!

Very happy with Tonia's care of my somewhat cantankerous orange tabby. Drop in photos were provided daily with some of the best pics ever! Communication about visits was timely and very thorough. I really appreciate the details she provided about how my cat behaved during each visit. Tonia is patient and calm and developed a rapport with my pet at his own pace. I returned home to a very calm cat with no drama or isolating behaviors. This tells me he trusted Tonia and liked her care for him.

She took great care of everything Coco needed while I was away. She also kept Coco’s area very clean and organized. Even after I was gone for four days, Coco’s feeding area was spotless and well maintained. When the cat tree tipped over, she checked on it right away, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much for your kindness, care, and attention to detail!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anaheim on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $49 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 17,910 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anaheim. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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.

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
