About: Relocated animal caregiver from Hawai’i looking for new families to support! Long time foster parent and special needs caregiver at Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kaneohe, O’ahu. Where I was a caregiver weekly for over 6 years. Trained caregivers, lead tours and fostered Stevie the goat from his bottle and diaper days, Ducklee and Eve their ducks, Sushi a Polynesian Piglet and several quails. Also, was the overnight caregiver many times for the internet famous “Bala” abandoned baby goat on the hill before he got adopted. Have had long term relationships with common domestic pet owners to non traditional pet owners, such as pigs. Have had experience with after surgery care, senior pets, blind/deaf and administering medication. Happy to now bring that knowledge and care to OC. Currently working on some projects remote so my schedule is quite flexible at the moment. If my schedule changes I would schedule around commitments made and always update families for future scheduling. I am always open to abiding by the natural routine of the pets, mirroring as closely as instructed. I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter with over 20 years of dog ownership experience and 2 years of home-based dog boarding experience in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for nearly 100 dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I recently moved to Fullerton and am excited to welcome new furry friends into my home! 🏡 A Loving Home Away From Home I live in a spacious 3-bedroom house with a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I also have private rooms available for dogs who prefer their own quiet space. 🐾 Small-Scale, Personalized Boarding I accept a maximum of 4 guest dogs at a time, so every pup receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and care. I believe in quality over quantity! 🐕 Experienced With Dogs of All Sizes As a proud dog mom of two large dogs, I’m especially comfortable caring for big breeds. I also have experience with senior dogs, shy pups, and dogs with different routines and care needs. ❤️ What Your Pup Can Expect • Daily walks, playtime, and plenty of attention • Regular photo and video updates • Personalized feeding and exercise routines • Separate feeding and resting spaces when needed • A clean, comfortable, and loving home environment I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet & greet. 🐶❤️ Currently I work at home and have much time to stay with pets. I will take them go out for at lease twice a day. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment, with plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I also make sure they get the right amount of activity and downtime based on their personality and needs.

From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 💬 Communication will stay on the app to ensure safety of the client, their pet, and sitter. As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, reliability, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. With 10 years of experience in pet care, I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, or simply offering a quick drop by for companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also believe communication is key, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a dependable, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, creating a relationship built on trust, consistency, and genuine care. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make both of you feel secure. Pet care is my full-time focus so I structure my daily routine around the pets in my care. Because I'm available throughout the day, I can provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps pets feels comfortable and secure while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Since caring for pets is my primary commitment, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and special care needs. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. Building that trust and creating a safe environment for all parties is my top priority. Before each stay or drop in, I make sure I understand your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and exercise routines to medications, allergies, and any household preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas of the home are secure so your pet stays safe at all times. I also treat every client's homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep the space clean and organized, follow any instructions provided, and make sure your home is cared for while you're away. Again, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same care and attention they would get from a trusted family member.

Alex sent us photos/report cards of our dogs daily, and even made a few videos for us to enjoy of our dogs. We are so lucky to have found Alex and grateful for the excellent care he always provides to our dogs. Thank you Alex!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the everyday care, attention, and patience that comes with having them. One thing that really sets me apart is how naturally I connect with shy or hesitant dogs. I’ve always had the most nervous dogs among my friends and family warm up to me surprisingly quickly! I’m patient and gentle, and I never rush a dog that needs time to feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work from home three days a week, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m especially open to longer daytime stays and doggy day care during the week. I’m also flexible and available for weekend care depending on my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, and I’m especially patient with shy or nervous dogs. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and given plenty of attention. I have two babies of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or visiting them in theirs, I treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!

“We had such a wonderful experience with Jack while we were away on a European vacation! He did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two Maltese dogs, saltwater fish & freshwater aquariums. The pups responded to him quickly, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were so far away. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending us pictures and videos of the dogs every day. It was so reassuring and special to see them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care he gave our pups and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs 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.

“We were SO grateful to have found Chloe. She is a great “baby”-sitter. She sent us so many cute pictures of the girls. Our girls were very comfortable with her. We had them with another sitter recently (and our dogs came back very stressed). With Chloe, we came back to happy healthy dogs! Lots of pictures of our anxious girl who doesn’t trust anyone else sleeping her usual “belly up” position which she only does when she feels safe. And a few sweet cuddle photos just after a day. On a practical note - she respected our house & our boundaries which was very appreciated. Followed all the routines. Took them on walks. We are very picky & we have full faith that you can trust her with your pets 😊”

Not only would I highlighly recommend them both if you like us do not leave your dogs at home but find yourself having to figure out what to do on vacation. Sofia was amazing, after our initial meeting and she arrived on time sent us pictures during the day.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Buena Park is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 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 November 2026, there are 14,818 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buena Park. 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 Buena Park 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 Buena Park 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 Buena Park 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.
