“Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!”
“There aren’t enough stars I could give to Jade! If you are looking for a sitter to go above and beyond look no further. She was truly a blessing to me and my fur babies! She completely put me at ease, with amazing communication, lots of updates, pictures and videos. What a relief it was to actually be able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my boys. Her love for animals and passion for what she does is very apparent and truly beautiful. Her natural ability to connect with animals is amazing! She respected and cared for my dogs particular needs and quirks. My dogs loved her so much that when I played a video with her voice in the background they all started wagging their tails and looking for her! Thank you again Jade, from me and the boys. ? You are a rockstar! We love you! ?”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”
“Kirsten is a SUPERSTAR!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Lifesaver—Went Above and Beyond During a Scheduling Crisis! I cannot recommend Kirsten highly enough! She is, without a doubt, the most responsible, professional, and thoughtful house and pet sitter we have ever used. We recently faced a stressful situation entirely due to a mistake on my part: I accidentally booked her to end a day before we actually returned home. Because she had another commitment, she couldn't stay the extra day. While I was frantically searching from afar for a backup sitter to cover the gap, Kirsten completely stepped up to handle the logistics and ease my panic. She volunteered to stay at the house as late as she possibly could to ensure our pets were cared for. Not only that, but she also offered to personally meet the new backup sitter, handing everything over and bringing her up to speed so the transition was seamless. To top it all off, she went out of her way to wash the sheets and remake the bed for the incoming sitter, emptied all the trash, and left the house in pristine condition. What a relief it was to me when she stepped up! Nothing could have totally eliminated my stress, but her level of care, kindness, and maturity mitigated what could have been a disaster. It is simply not enough to say that I recommend her highly - she deserves a more glowing review than anything I could possibly write.”
“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 been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!
“Emily did an excellent job caring for Bambino. She kept us informed throughout the day with updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She was attentive, professional, and clearly cared about his well-being. We especially appreciated the detailed progress report she provided at the end of the visit. We would gladly trust her with Bambino again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Excellent job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Can’t say enough good things about Sarah! Loved her interaction with my fur babies, loved her desire to learn about my dogs and ask questions, love the pictures and communication….. and absolutely love her professionalism . I believe Sarah will succeed at anything she chooses to do because of her great work ethic. Will definitely use her again!”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
“Holly was an amazing dog sitter. She constantly kept me updated on the status of my puppies as I enjoyed the day with my family in Disneyland. My puppies are only four months old, too young to be with other dogs and be outside. Holly watched them in our hotel suite because of that. I live in Northern California and it was nice to have someone who cared for my puppies like I would. I highly recommend hiring Holly and I will definitely retain her services in the future.”
“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.”
“As a first time puppy owner, I was anxious about leaving my fur baby with someone new. Esther made it seem easy peasy! I appreciate her photos/videos throughout the day and kept me updated what Twix was doing. Definitely would recommend !”
“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.”
About: I have my own dog and grew up with a variety of animals. I currently take care of neighbors pets in my complex, surrounding cities, and the app. I Iwanted to be a veterinarian but since that didn't work out now I will help and pets in a way that is equally rewarding! This is my passion! If I didn't need to pay bills then I would do this for free! So don't leave your animal in the care of someone who JUST wants cash. Your pets are like my own and I will treat them as such:) So care for your canine and choose this alpha... I only do this exclusively so there will be no distractions or lack of care on my part. I will have a hundred percent devotion to your pet as it always should be. I have my dog that is jealous with other animals so I will have to go to the clients home for the walk, drop in, or sitting. There is nothing better then having your pet comfortable in their own environment:)

I’ve trusted Linda multiple times with my 8 cats and home. She is attentive to detail, sweet, kind and respected my home. I will be rebooking with her in the future and recommend to anyone reading this review. Thank you Linda! Neil, Kurt, Mario, Binko Bear, Sonic, Lucy, Charlie and Federico say hello and thank you for all the cuddles, treats, and pets 🥹❤️🐈⬛
Oh my goodness! I almost don't want to leave a review because it make make Vincent's schedule so busy that I will have a hard time booking with him again! He is a gem! 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.
Maggie was amazing with my dogs! She was so sweet, & attentive and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in great hands. She kept me updated and took such great care of them while I was away. I would absolutely trust Maggie to watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Tracy is a treasure. She was a terrific caregiver, companion, BFF, and all around great sport for our very active Doberman pinscher. We so appreciated her attentiveness, kindness and willingness to engage and play with Samson. We highly recommend her and plan to use her again.
Lena is amazing. Kind, responsible, responsive, exact, caring, gentle, honest, capable, safe…all the characteristics you need and want in a furbaby sitter. She stayed in my home with my furchild, Summer, sent pictures and videos often, followed my detailed, and particular, directions exactly, and most importantly, Summer loves her!! Lena made my time away from Summer bearable. Will request Lena again soon, and without reservation.
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.
Jade did a great job of taking care of our dog, Lily, while we were on vacation out of the country. She was very responsive and sent us pictures daily. She left our home in great condition as well. Our pup was excited to see us when we returned, but not overly excited, which made it clear that she was well taken care of and well entertained while we were gone. We would definitely recommend Jade to other pet owners and plan to hire her again in the future!
Eduardo is a great person and dog sitter. He communicated throughout the stay, came to meet our dogs prior to sitting and took them for walks. He let us know when he was arriving and leaving and took great care of them. Especially our little one that’s a little shy at first. I highly recommend Eduardo for your pets too
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
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.

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.
