“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.”

“Lyndsey was so accommodating and such a good caretaker for our puppy. She was flexible with timing and followed all of our requests while she stayed at our house. She sent a bunch of photos and videos without us having to ask and was very communicative. I definitely plan to work with Lyndsey again!”

“Jessica was awesome! I had several drop-in visits scheduled while I was away and she did a great job showing up on time, following feeding instructions, and made sure to give my dog long walks and plenty of belly rubs. She kept me informed after every visit with lots of pictures and status updates. I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, I focus on caring for them in my clients’ homes. I follow their routines closely, provide plenty of attention and play time, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away.

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.

“My First choice across the board; Chelsea and Richard take such passionate care of your baby while you're away. There's such a peace of mind leaving my cat in their care because when I return he isn't rambunctious. He's very mellow after being on a cat vacation with Chelsea Richard. They are my one and only choice for pet sitting. <3”

About: I currently work at a veterinary hospital and at a doggy daycare. I’m in charge of watching, playing, feeding, walking, medicating, and bathing many dogs. I have learned to act quick on my feet while still being proactive. I am a vet tech student and work at a general practice veterinary hospital. I like to hang around dogs whenever I can. *If I don’t answer right away I’m probably working but I’m still available unless I text otherwise! I am easily trained so I can work around your dogs needs. I’m currently a student and a full time worker. I also have a dog of my own. Even during my free time I like to be around animals. I am glued to them 24/7. I like to feel secure so I am often just playing, resting, stimulating them the whole time I’m in the clients home or at my home.

“Benjamin cares for our senior golden retriever who is hearing, vision and mobility impaired. Since we work throughout the day, we wanted someone to give him a visit to love on him and tend to his needs. We’re so very thankful Ben is able to help our senior while we’re away. We’ve noticed our boy happier and even more full of life. Thanks Ben! Bonzai can’t wait to see you”

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 Dogs Only): Calm, one-on-one 30-minute neighborhood strolls for small pups (up to 15 lbs). Perfect for gentle midday exercise and potty breaks while you're at work. For safety and comfort, walks are strictly on 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.  •Drop-In Visits (7 Days/Week): Morning, afternoon, and evening visits starting at 9:00 AM. Great for cats and dogs needing meals, medication, potty breaks, and company.  • Dog Walking (Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM): Calm midday neighborhood walks. Note: I specialize in small dogs (up to 15 lbs) on standard leashes and secure harnesses. 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: 🐾I’ve always loved being around animals and had dogs of my own so I 100% 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 responsible, 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 only accept one family’s pets at a time to provide individualized 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. ⭐️: For the safety and well being of all pets that come and go in my home, I kindly ask that all dogs staying with me be fully vaccinated. I’d appreciate confirmation of up to date vaccinations before booking is confirmed. Thank you for helping me keep a safe and healthy environment for everyone! Your pup’s health and safety are very important to me! • I do have a roommate with 2 senior dogs that are fully vaccinated and are friendly with animals. They typically stay with their parent inside the room most of the day as they are low energy velcro dogs so interactions are very minimal. If you have any questions about this please feel free to ask!

“Thanks so much! I first booked Ally to help with my beloved dog Gracie, who was ill and on a lot of medications and needed some speciaized attention while my father took care of the other animals in the house. She came for a meet and greet to learn the layout of the house and meet the pack and see my complex feeding instructions. Unfortunately, my Gracie passed only a few days before my trip. 😭 Ally was willing to work with my ever changing needs with ease. She was super kind and ended up still coming twice during my trip to scoop the litter boxes and clean the dog bowls etc. She sent photos and an update, telling me how everyone was doing. It really helped ease my mind to have someone checking in while I was gone. Thanks again!”

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: 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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Anaheim

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Anaheim on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 17,855 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anaheim. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Anaheim stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

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

  • 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 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.
