On a scale of 1 to 10, Tommy is an 11! He took such careful care of our babies while we were in town for a family trip. He paid attention to each of our pup’s individual needs and just was so mindful about everything! We will DEFINITELY work with him again and we HIGHLY recommend him!

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.

The whole family and our 2 doggos took a trip to Disney for my niece’s birthday. I needed someone to watch over my doodles at the air BnB while we were out all day. Thank God I found Chelsea and she was so quick to respond. She drove a litle extra to the airbnb and took care of our dogs. She even agreed to come earlier in such short notice. I was so thankful for her as I was able to enjoy Disney without worrying about my doods. If we ever drive down south again, definitely will book Chelsea in a heart beat. Thank you so much, Chelsea!

Esther was fantastic with our cats! We were away for two weeks and left her in charge of our four cats, each with very specific care instructions. She was incredibly attentive to all our needs and followed every note closely. Her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring throughout our trip. All of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for in her hands. My husband and I were truly able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing our pets were safe and content. We highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

I was a bit nervous about using Rover for the first time, but Kathryn made the experience great. She stayed at my apartment and took care of both my dog and cat for four nights. My dog can be wary of new people, but Kathryn approached her with such ease and clearly had a lot of experience with animals. She was very responsive, sent lots of photos, and treated my pets with such kindness. Will definitely ask Kathryn to watch my animals again in the future :)

About: I love dogs and dream about getting my own. I’ve pet-sat for families since I was 10 and grew up with my two Goldendoodles, who I absolutely adore and consider my babies, named Olive and Cedar! I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and love being active with dogs—whether that’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I currently work 1–2 days per week at the hospital as a pediatric oncology CNA, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to be consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I enjoy spending my free time being active and caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present when I’m caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs if applicable, and any specific care preferences the owner has. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, especially walks for dogs to help them stay happy and calm while their owners are away. I also focus on creating a safe, clean environment and making sure pets feel secure and not stressed in their owner’s absence.

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:

About: Pet Care Experience: Hi!! My name is Vyanh (or Vy). I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, mainly for close family and friends. Growing up my family had a mixed poodle named Peanut, and caring for him gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, companionship, and responsibility. Over the years I’ve also cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities, including my uncles three huskies, my cousins Shiba Inu named Nala (named after the Lion King) and several of my friends corgis such as Ken and Mica. My experience includes overnight house sits, daytime care and daily walks, allowing me to adapt to each dogs individual needs and energy level. From high energy breeds that require long walks and active play to dogs that prefer a calmer routine, I prioritize consistency, safety, and positive attention. Especially since I play tennis, I tend to run a lot in order to build my endurance. Having a partner really motivates me while also helping your little ones move around. Schedule: I’m currently an undergraduate student and going to school full time, no part time job at the moment. Still looking for an internship and also a part time job. My class schedule is until 3pm everyday from Monday to Thursday, then afterwards I am all free. Over the weekends I’ll be free all day from Friday to Saturday, not free on Sundays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime and any special needs the pet may have. I will keep the home clean and secure, ensure food and water are always fresh. Ensuring all doors, gates and crates are safely handled. I will also provide regular updates and photos so the owners feel confident that their let’s are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been a lifelong dog lover and owner! Growing up, my home was always filled with pups of all shapes and sizes, from a small Bichon Poodle mix to independent Shiba Inus and a high-energy Husky. I am incredibly comfortable with all breeds and energy levels. I also have plenty of experience handling the chaotic puppy phase; I raised a pup who thought everything was a snack, so I am highly vigilant about safety and keeping a clean environment. As an active person, I love giving dogs plenty of exercise and playtime, while strictly adhering to your specific feeding schedules and house rules. Your pup will get a perfect balance of structure, safety, and endless love! I am currently working 2 part-time jobs. My work schedule is not set yet but I work 5 hours a day. The time depends on which shift I get assigned to. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am willing to shift things around to make it work! My main goal is just keeping your dog happy and comfortable in their own space. I'm totally cool with following whatever house rules or specific routines you have set up, you know your pup best! I'll keep them company, make sure they're well fed and exercised, and send you some fun photo updates so you can see they're doing great.

About: Hello everyone! I’m an enthusiastic amateur photographer with a serious passion for capturing the unique personalities of dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets. I’m actively working to expand my pet photography portfolio and would love to create beautiful, heartfelt images of your furry family members. Whether it’s playful action shots in the park, cozy in-home portraits, or candid moments during a walk or playtime, I bring patience, treats, and a camera everywhere I go. I’m still building my collection, so I’m happy to offer very affordable (or even complimentary) photography sessions when you book me for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m gentle, reliable, and genuinely love animals — your pets will be happy and relaxed while I snap some amazing shots you’ll treasure. From goofy zoomies to sweet sleepy cuddles, I aim to freeze those special moments in time. If you’re open to a sitter who also doubles as a pet photographer, let’s team up! Message me to chat about your pet’s personality and what kind of photos you’d love. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friends and add more adorable images to my growing portfolio! 📸🐶🐱 I'm a retired veteran who has a lot of free time on his hands. I fostered animals while serving in the military and wanted to get back into caring for animals Always flexible with animals and the level of care/attention they require. More than willing to be out and about for a while or stay in because they're home bodies

We had an amazing experience with Kaylynn! I have a 4-year-old rescued Pit Bull who is very attached to me and struggles with anxiety, so I was extremely nervous about leaving him. I planned a two-week vacation and knew I didn't want to board him because I wanted to keep his routine as normal as possible. In fact, I had been worried about what to do with him ever since I started planning my trip eight months ago. After our meet-and-greet with Kaylynn, I felt confident that she could handle the job—and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. She followed every instruction I left for her and took exceptional care of my dog. What impressed me the most was how attentive she was to his needs. Without me even asking, she bought him new toys, picked up medication for his hot spots, and even got a paw balm to help soften his paws. Those thoughtful gestures showed me how much she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. Throughout my trip, I had peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be using Kaylynn again whenever I need a sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.

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. If we are ever in the Anaheim area again and need a pet sitter she will be the person I will call.

Requested Bella last minute before our family went on vacation. Not only was she able to accommodate our needs which are relatively high during July 4th, she did so with so much care. We have 5 animals, 2 dogs, 3 cats who are fairly needy and stubborn. She handled them very well and had so much patience. Over the course of our vacation we received lots of updates on how they were doing and reassured us that they were okay. Bella is a nice and sweet girl who cares about animals and is very trustworthy, we would very much love to have her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Buena Park on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,028 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 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 Buena Park. 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.
