About: I've shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and currently have a senior Husky named Aurora, so I've experienced everything from raising high-energy working dogs to caring for an older dog with changing needs. Those experiences have taught me that no two animals are alike. One of the things I love most about caring for pets is getting to know their individual personalities. Some dogs want to spend every minute playing fetch, while others are happiest taking a slow walk and taking in the world around them. Some cats will curl up beside you immediately, while others prefer to earn your trust on their own terms. I believe great pet care starts with understanding and respecting each animal for who they are rather than expecting them all to be the same. When I'm caring for your pet, my goal isn't just to make sure they're fed and exercised—it's to make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I pay attention to their routines, quirks, preferences, and body language so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. Aurora has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to a pet's unique needs, especially as they get older. Whether I'm caring for an energetic puppy, a large-breed dog, a senior pet, or a cat that needs a little extra patience, I approach every animal with the same respect, attentiveness, and affection I would want for my own. I also offer overnight house sitting and understand that caring for a home is part of caring for a pet. I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash bins, and keeping an eye on things while you're away so you can travel with greater peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your pets, learning their personalities, and providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight visits, and I make it a priority to be responsive, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. For house sitting, I spend quality time with pets and do my best to maintain their normal routine and environment. I understand that consistency is important, and I strive to provide attentive care and regular updates so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they're away. One of the biggest things I've learned from growing up with German Shepherds and caring for my senior Husky, Aurora, is that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and way of communicating. Some pets are immediately social and affectionate, while others take time to build trust. Some thrive on activity and adventure, while others prefer a calm routine and familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable rather than treating every animal the same way. I pay attention to their body language, habits, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free. Whether I'm walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, caring for your cat, or house sitting while you're away, my goal is to provide a calm, dependable presence and maintain the routine your pet knows and trusts. For walks, I prioritize safety, use secure leashing practices, stay aware of my surroundings, and adjust the pace and activity level to fit each dog's age, energy level, and comfort. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on things while you're away. I believe great pet care is built on patience, consistency, communication, and earning an animal's trust. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet.

About: Looking for unique experiences to fill my retirement years. Love both dogs and cats. Having grown up in a rural community, I've had animals most of my life, including farm animals. Good with all dogs, large and small. Enjoy cat antics! I can watch Pet Collective for hours. I'm very active and can easily walk multiple dogs. If house sitting is all you need, I'm available for short or extended periods as well. While in Orange County, travel to distant locations would be considered for longer stays. I'm an experienced home remodeler and would be able to take care of any minor emergencies while you're away such as reprogramming a sprinkler timer, sprinkler and irrigation system repair, fixing a faucet or leaky toilet, minor electrical repairs, etc. Very responsible and trustworthy. Graduate of both the Air Force Academy and Stanford. Retired Air Force. While I don't currently have any animals, all three of my children are dog owners. My days usually include playing pickleball in the mornings, for which I'm gone for four hours. Other than that, I'm free and available within the CdM community. Since I will be staying with your pet in your home, I will adapt to the routines that your pet has become accustomed to. I can send periodic text updates throughout the day or just leave you alone; whatever you prefer. I have no problem staying in a home with video cameras monitoring the interior.

About: Been taking care of dogs almost my entire life -- they are my favorite! I don't have a dog of my own, so I do Rover in the meantime :) I treat every pet like they are my own and am overjoyed when I have a pup around the house -- pretty much spending every second with them, walking, beach trips, puppy playdates and snuggles. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love building time into my schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Whether I’m working from home or out and about, I plan my day around giving pets the attention and structure they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I do my best to match each pet’s usual routine, whether I’m at their home or they’re staying with me. I keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, provide daily exercise and play, and make sure they get plenty of affection and downtime. I pay close attention to their body language and needs, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and communication with pet parents.

About: I have had dogs in my home for my whole life. I am the go-to dog sitter for my family and friends when they go out of town. I now have a dog of my own and have been loving every second of it. I love all dogs and will take care of your dog like they are my own. I currently work from home! I have a dog of my own and she is very chill with other dogs. Because I have my own dog, she is fully incorporated into my daily routine. I usually don’t leave the house more than once a day and it’s usually for 2-3 hours max. I go on one to two walks a day depending on my work schedule but that can be adjusted to your dogs needs. I have a fenced in backyard that my dog loves to hang out in. My dog is friendly and is tolerant of other dogs. I keep a very clean home and have plenty of toys around to play with.

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years- whether for friends, family, neighbors, or through volunteering at shelters. It’s always such a joy to meet them, because each one has their own unique personality. I’m a registered nurse looking for a fulfilling side opportunity where I can continue helping others in my community. I love being outdoors, staying active, and it would truly be an honor to care for and spend time with your fur baby. I work as a contract nurse, so I create and manage my own schedule. I’m super flexible and able to accommodate my clients needs accordingly. I have a 10 year old dog I got when I was 19 years old and he’s been my side kick for many years. I’m looking to dog walk, since I unfortunately don’t have a yard at the moment but know a lot of resourceful trails that are dog friendly. I have a safe and reliable SUV if you ever needed me to drive your pet somewhere for our time together.

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. As a Mindset & Mental Health coach, I naturally bring patience, calm, and strong intuition, ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Known for my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail, I give homeowners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I work fully remote as a Mindset & Mental Health coach, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate plenty of focused time to your pets—feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship—while also keeping your home tidy and well cared for. My remote work schedule ensures I’m consistently present, attentive, and available to respond to any needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I prefer to sit at clients’ homes, keeping pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings and routines. I care for them just as if they were my own—providing companionship, attention, and affection while ensuring their space is clean, secure, and stress-free. My goal is for both pets and homeowners to feel completely at ease while I’m caring for them.

About: pets can sense energy high or low, some pets are more comfortable with interactions that feel more simple and less stressful, or perhaps prefer hyper or playful: I adjust to your pets’ need and safety I am currently switching careers since I just finished my bachelor’s degree and am applying for graduate school. As I search for my next adventure in career, taking care of pets is great to nurture the soul and lean into surrounding myself with caring for others in big and small moments as they become more available. I care for your pets and your home with respect, patience, and timely professional decorum. I want to be welcomed back again and I want you to always be welcomed home upon your return

About: Hi there! I love dogs more than anything but have also had cats! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 12 years along with many other animals on a farm and love playing with them! I am a student athlete but only have class twice a week for 2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Basketball season ends in February but with that I have practices 3-5 days a week ending before 10 AM, so I have the whole rest of the day to take care of your babies! As of right now, I don’t have any pets because of college housing, but at home I have a maltese yorkie who is my best friend! I walk him everyday for 1-2 hours, feed and play with him, and also have to give allergy medicine sometimes. He has lots of food allergies so I know how to handle things like that as well!

Samantha walked and played with my pup for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was a very very reliable pet walker! She did SOOO WELL with my German Shepard and my kitty. She was always on time, would spend extra time with them and always checked their food and water for me! I would welcome her back to sit my pets anytime! Thank you so much Samantha:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Corona del Mar on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Corona del Mar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Corona del Mar stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
