“Esther is such an amazing person , so positive, loving, and full of warmth! She cared for my dogs and cats with so much love and even helped me organize my home. She’s truly perfect, and I’ll definitely work with her again. I trust her completely with my babies and can’t recommend her enough!”
“I have used Lena several times now for house sitting and she is always attentive and gives excellent updates. She clearly loves animals and my fluffs enjoy the time they have with her.”
“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.”
“Jade was so unbelievable to our youngest fur baby, Berk. She kept in constant contact with us regarding his well being and sent many pictures of him having the time of his life. At one point we were convinced he wouldn’t want us to come back! Jade treated Berk like her own and showed a great deal of respect for him, us and our home. We highly recommend Jade!”

“Xu cared for my dog (55lb puppy) and cat for a week in my home. She communicated well and sent photos and videos. My dog had diarrhea in his crate the first night and she cleaned it really well and offered to give him some of her own dogs’ probiotics to help him. She took him outside several times each day, and even took him on a field trip to play with her dogs (with my permission). Xu cared for my pets like they were her own and I would absolutely trust her to care for them again.”
“Britney was amazing house sitting with Cleo. She followed all directions and requests and was very communicative. There was an issue when a construction crew broke a gas main near my home, and the police came to the door saying residents needed to evacuate! I was a wreck but Britney was so calm and collected and kept me updated. Most importantly, she kept herself and my pup safe! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you are nervous leaving your dog like I am!”
“Tracy did a wonderful job caring for both our pet and our home while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in great hands, and we could fully enjoy our vacation without any worries. We truly appreciate having someone so trustworthy!”
“Best sitter ever!! You can see from all of the amazing photos and videos that our pup is in the best hands while we are away. We appreciate all of the thoughtfulness on household questions and just the overall great care taken of our house and dog.”
“Our dogs both loved Alyssa from the moment they met her. They felt comfortable with her and she took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Super responsible, communicative, and sensitive to traveling dog-mom-worry. Highly recommended for anyone looking for dog and/or house sitter.”
“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 !”
“I can’t say enough about Kirsten!! BEST dog sitter I have ever had! We had her stay with our very high anxiety dog for 9 days in our home. We recently had to put down our other two dogs and Bentley has been so depressed and we were so worried about boarding him or just having drop ins because he would be by himself. I requested someone that could stay with him the entire time and Kirsten did just that! She came and met him two weeks before and he takes some time to get to know someone, but by the second day he just loved her. She kept him in his routine even letting him sleep with her like he does us. Walked him daily, let him play in the hose daily (one of his favorite things) Sat with him out in yard, played catch with him another favorite thing and checked in everyday with pictures and videos. She went over and beyond…took our trash cans in and out on trash day, took in our mail and packages, emptied our dishwasher, hosed yard everyday, stripped and washed her bedding and washed dog blankets on couch, cleaned bathroom and kitchen. My house was just as I left it. We were also welcomed home with a sweet note and gift for Bentley! She is the BEST and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was so well taken care of like family ❤️ Our last dog sitter was terrible and i was a wreck the entire time, not this time! She will be the only one I will use from now on!! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your pets the same as you would!! Thank you again Kirsten!!!”
“Athena was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our senior GSD, played soccer with her, rescued her from an unexpected dip in our spa (ball chasing), and communicated clearly. Bonus, she is a great pet photographer and we received several frame-worthy photos and really fun videos while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was a great sitter for Lucy. She was very polite and gentle. Her communication skills are excellent. This was the first time Ashley took care of Lucy and Lucy was settled in with her very quickly. I would definitely ask Ashly to house sit Lucy again and would highly recommend her for other pet parents.”
“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.”
“Lindsey was awesome! She took great care of our fur babies while we were away on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and updates daily so were well informed, and also kept great care of the house and left is nice and clean! We would recommend Lindsey 100% and plan to hire her again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Elaina! With a lifelong love for animals and over fifteen years of experience caring for pets, and a special love for senior dogs - I’m passionate about providing the best care possible. As someone with a corporate background who traveled frequently, I understand how difficult it can be to find someone truly reliable to care for your pets. That experience inspired me to start a dog walking and pet care service grounded in trust, consistency, and genuine attention. I know how important it is to have someone who treats your pet like family - someone who shows up on time, follows instructions, and makes your pet feel comfortable in your absence. Whether you’re at work, away on business, need an extra hand, or taking a well-earned break, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve that I once searched for myself. You’ll get photo updates, peace of mind, and the comfort of knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, even with a full-time day job. Monday through Friday, I’m available for walks and check-ins before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. On weekends, I’m an open book with much more flexibility for visits and extended care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every visit with the same care and commitment as if they were my own. Eventually, I’d love to create a more flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets more frequently while still managing my day job - it’s a passion I’m excited to continue growing. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I familiarize myself with their feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any specific care instructions you may have. I aim to maintain a stress-free environment for your pet by following the same level of attention and affection they are used to in their own space. I am respectful of your home, ensuring it stays tidy and organized while I provide excellent care for your pets.

Maggie is amazing! She was in constant contact with me, sent many pictures and videos, which I asked her to do. My dogs love her so much and I know they were very well taken care of. I found her kind of last minute, she was available and accommodating to my time. I highly recommend Maggie, I am beyond happy I found her, and will definitely rebook next time!
Athena was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our senior GSD, played soccer with her, rescued her from an unexpected dip in our spa (ball chasing), and communicated clearly. Bonus, she is a great pet photographer and we received several frame-worthy photos and really fun videos while we were away. Highly recommend.
It was a pleasure meeting Tracy during the meet-and-greet. From the start, we felt completely confident in her ability to care for our dog at our home. We greatly appreciated her excellent communication, as she shared regular updates and photos. She also left our home in pristine condition. Thank you again for the outstanding care!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She stayed at our apartment over the Fourth of July weekend and took amazing care of both our home and our cats. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to a spotless apartment and, most importantly, two very happy, relaxed cats who clearly adored her. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family and our home!
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

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.
Vince was great with our dogs . Took them for couple of walks a day, played with. Our bigger boy(62lbs) Pascal doesn’t always like men he doesn’t know but by the pictures of him playing that got along great. He had problems managing our 2 furry babies-60 and 40 lbs. We felt very safe with them in his hands.
Lauren is phenomenal! She did an excellent job with our timid rescue dog. He immediately took to her. She was loving, playful, gentle and communicative. It was a relief to know our sweet boy was being so well loved while we enjoyed some time with the family. I would highly recommend Lauren, without any hesitation.
Marketta has been wonderful! We have had her come over twice and we will definitely use her the next time we go out of town. Our dog Gracie loves her and was so happy to have her here while we were gone. when we got back she was a very happy and a well taken care of doggie.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brea on Rover is $66.6 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 14,774 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 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 Brea. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
