About: With a lifetime of experience surrounded by dogs, I bring a deep affection and understanding of our furry friends. Over the years, I've had the privilege of regularly house-sitting for two households each with a pairs of dogs, providing consistent and attentive care. Eager to continue bringing more dogs into my life, as I currently don't have any of my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from small to medium to large—so I’m well-equipped to meet their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just cuddling on the couch, I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, as I have flexible availability and remote work options that can easily adjust to accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or simply spending quality time with your furry friend, I'm committed to ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a dedicated dog sitter, my top priority is ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while maintaining the trust you've placed in me. I take great care to create a safe and secure environment, following your pet’s routine to minimize stress and ensure they feel at ease in the familiar surroundings of your home. I respect your space and adhere to any specific instructions you provide, ensuring your pet is treated with love, attention, and the highest level of care in their own environment.

“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 !”

About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up helping with my family’s dog kennel, where we raised French Brittany dogs. I helped care for puppy litters from birth, raised and trained puppies, and even showed two of our dogs in dog shows. That upbringing taught me the responsibility, patience, and attention to detail that animals need to thrive. Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve had three cats over the years and currently share my home with two, so I’m very comfortable with feline routines, personalities, and quirks. While cats are my specialty, my years at the kennel give me solid, hands-on experience with dogs as well. I love both cats and dogs, and I’d be honored to care for yours. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the love and attention they deserve. I work from home as a website account manager for a small web design firm, which gives me a flexible schedule built around my laptop rather than an office. That flexibility means I can plan my day around your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular feedings, walks, playtime, or medication schedules. My only fixed commitment is Wednesday mornings, when I have mandatory meetings. The rest of the week I’m available throughout the day, so your pet gets consistent attention and care without being rushed. I believe great pet care comes down to consistency and paying close attention. With my own two cats, I keep a steady routine: a daily evening meal (plus an automatic feeder in the mornings) and litter boxes cleaned every day. When I first adopted one of my cats, she had ongoing tummy troubles, so I had her allergy tested and worked through several foods until we found one that settled her stomach. She’s been healthy ever since. My other cat struggled with going outside the litter box, and over several months I figured out the routine, litter, and box setup that worked for her. Accidents are now rare. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I care for. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, medications, and any special needs, and I’ll keep an eye out for any changes in appetite, behavior, or litter box habits so I can let you know right away. Your home and your pet’s safety are my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and have 2+ years experience petsitting dogs with special needs. I'm the mom of two whites tree frogs, so I'm also well versed with reptiles and other exotic pets! I'm comfortable with all sorts of critters, not just fur-babies! Reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and arachnids are all included and well loved in my care. I work part time, usually nights, and take classes during the week day. Friday-Sunday I am almost always free full time to watch your pet. If care is needed weekday, depending on how much time is required, I can visit before, after, and between classes to feed, check in, and let out for the bathroom. I'm well experienced with feeding schedules, administering medication, potty breaks/cleaning litter boxes, and keeping spaces clean and tidy! I strive to leave homes I visit better than I found it. I'm also known for taking lots of silly pictures of your pet to send alongside daily updates.

About: I have years of personal experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, with a deep understanding of senior dog care and daily routines. My home is safe, attentive, and welcoming. I treat every visiting pet like family, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I am available throughout the week to provide constant attention, regular feeding, play, and long walks. I provide a clean, quiet, and safe home environment for all pets. Safety is my top priority, so I strictly follow all owner instructions for feeding, routines, and leash safety during outdoor walks.

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.

He checks all the boxes for a pet and housesitter; kind, considerate, keeps in touch, cheerful, prompt....the superlatives are all there and all well deserved. Our pets absolutely loved him (even the fussy cat!) and I feel that everything is in competent hands while I'm away.

Ryan is simply wonderful. He stayed with our dog and cat for 6 days. He immediately became friends with our dog (and she’s quite a handful). Our cat didn’t accept him right away, but he wasn’t put off and found an approach with her - and after just 2 days they were already best friends. He always sent us photo updates and wrote about how the animals were doing. We can see that our pets didn’t miss us at all while Ryan was with them. He’s now number one on our list of pet sitters. Thank you so much.

Tiffany went above and beyond caring for Mikey while we were away. This was the first time I had ever left him, so I was naturally nervous, but she completely put me at ease from the start. She sent continuous photo updates, which meant so much and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. Tiffany is incredibly organized, attentive, and meticulous in her care. It was obvious that she truly cared about Mikey's well-being and treated him like family. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. I cannot recommend Tiffany highly enough and will absolutely trust her with Mikey again in the future.

We could not be more pleased. Davin was really patient with Penny, our senior German shepherd rescue. He regularly texted updates to let us know how things were going. He’s super responsible and kind. We’ll definitely ask for Davin again. When we got home after two weeks away Penny was calm — none of the stress I would expect from kenneling. What a find! I highly recommend Davin—the fact that he is studying to be a vet tech is a big plus.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Brea is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $97 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 14,775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brea. 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 Brea 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 Brea 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 Brea 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 , 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 .

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 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 .

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.
