“Devenee was so wonderful and she was able to win my cat over very quickly despite my cat being super shy to new people. The photos she sent of my cat are some of my favorites of her now. I'll be rebooking with her for future travels as long as she is available to watch my cat.”

“Mackenzie was awesome! She was kind enough to come meet my dog in advance. She was also very easy to communicate with and provided great, detailed updates. She was very thorough and helpful. Highly recommend!”

“Vi has been great for our young puppy! She keeps you well in the loop on how your pet is doing during in house visits, and is very reliable, responsive, and flexible to all our young pups needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of energetic pets since I was 12. Frequent runs, walks, and baths for each dog were always a part of my routine. I have experience with senior dogs to those with less than a year of age. Each pet is treated with the care and attention they deserve! I’m available Monday thru Friday from 6 am-3pm for drop-ins, walking, and pet sitting. I’m able to accommodate my services based on your pets needs. No request is too much! Each pet is accommodated for based on specific needs and preferences. I’m careful with surveillance and making sure each pet is surrounded by safe objects and food around the house.
About: For many years, I’ve taken care of pets for clients, friends, and family. I love hanging out with animals, and enjoying the unique personalities of each pet! My daily schedule is very flexible, so I am often able to make availability any time you need. Available for daily drop-in care, or overnight care in your home. I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.
“Briana came in daily to check in on and feed my two dogs while I was on vacation. She did a great job! She arrived promptly when planned, let them out, and gave them dinner. She also sent photos for me to see how they were doing. Thanks Briana!”

About: Hi, my name is Candace and I have been a member of Rover.com starting March 21, 2012 from Dog Hosting to my current position as Dog Walker. As a recent college graduate with experience as a home care aide, I am eager to use my skills to provide dedicated pet care, ensuring your furry companion receives the attention and care they deserve while you maintain a balanced lifestyle, and I am available on weekends and holidays to integrate into your daily or weekly routine. My belief is dogs are family and I will treat your dog similarly to how I treat my own dog who is the apple of my eye.

About: I’ve been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so they’ve always had a special place in my heart. A few years ago I became a cat mom to two Bengals, and they completely converted me into a cat person too! Having loved both dogs and cats, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like they’re family. Whether your furry friend loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱✨ I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. This allows me to easily adjust my availability as needed and accommodate around your needs. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of playtime and attention, so they feel loved and engaged. I'll also ensure they are always fed on time with the right food, and their living environment will be kept clean and well-maintained, so they stay comfortable and healthy!
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! Growing up, my family had three Shih-Poos, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a Cavapoo of my own, which has given me plenty of hands on experience with puppy care, training, walks, playtime, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a friendly check in while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m primarily available on weekends and have the most flexibility for walks and drop ins throughout the day. I work in office during the week, but can be available for evening and nighttime walks on weekdays when needed. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pup gets the time, attention, and exercise they need! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pup safe and secure during walks, and provide pictures and updates so there’s no need to worry on how your pup is doing!
About: I grew up with a rescued Shih Tzu terrier mix and realized how much love someone could have for a pet. I promise to care for your dog as if it were my own. I have playful personality and that flows into how I interact with animals. I’m currently working full time remote so my schedule has flexibility to meet your needs. I live a very active lifestyle so your dog will have all the walks they deserve! I adapt to the environment I’m in so your dog will feel comfortable while you’re away under my careful watch. You can trust that they will be kept leashed and safely out of harms way at all times.
“Krystal took AMAZING care of our kitties. We appreciated the detailed updates and how she never gave up on getting one of our more shy cats to cozy up to her while we were away. When we came home we could tell they were just as happy and cared for as when we left them.”

About: Hi, I’m Felipe! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for rescue dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the patience needed to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Why pet parents trust me: • Experienced with rescue dogs and cats of all ages and personalities • Reliable, patient, and easygoing • Comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels • Focused on safety, routine, and positive experiences • Long walks, playtime, companionship, and daily care • Regular photo and message updates • Treat every pet with care, respect, and attention What you can expect when you book with me: • Reliable , attentive care • Regular updates and photos • Consistent routines and attention • Exercise, play, and companionship • A safe and positive experience for your pet I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, safety, affection, exercise, and a calm, positive environment. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building routines around pet care. Daily walks, exercise, feeding, playtime, and making pets feel calm and comfortable are already a big part of my everyday life with my own rescue dogs and cats. I’m reliable, punctual, communicative, and committed to giving every pet consistent attention, care, and affection. Whether your pet needs an active walk, companionship, or a calm and patient sitter, I always make their safety and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and calm energy are extremely important to me when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and secure. I have experience caring for rescue animals and understand the importance of patience, structure, supervision, and positive interactions. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and treat every home and animal with respect, reliability, and care as if they were my own family.
About: I have had 7 years of pet experience. I currently have 2 of my own I take care of and 2 that I occasionally babysit for my Cousin. I absolutely love taking dogs on walks and even playing around. I’m experienced in the puppy stage, adult stage, and senior stage. I would love to help take your furry family member for a long walk or even to stop by and check on them! i currently work 5 times a week but i’m free after 2 pm everyday! im free to walk or drop in to check on your little one! I have a fenced backyard and 3 other dogs to keep your furry friend company!! Plenty of water bowls and treats to go around for everyone.

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Dogs and Cats. I’ve always been around all types of animals growing up and I am so blessed to be able to grow up in that type of household! Even just seeing an animal on the street, I always ask to pet them!! They all each individually deserve some love and pets! I am available most days 11-3. Some nights if not at my job which is usually 4 nights a week. I am also available after work 10pm on certain occasions. I plan on taking your dog on walks, or outside.. depending on what you prefer.

About: Hi! I’m a Vet Tech with 3 years of clinical experience and 1 year as a kennel assistant. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for seniors, and supporting pets with special needs. My background helps me recognize health changes quickly and keep pets safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their well-being at all times. I’d love to care for your fur baby! 💛 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I work full-time at Back Bay Vet Hospital Monday–Friday (and occasional Saturdays). Because I’m consistently around animals, caring for pets outside of work feels natural and fulfilling to me. I’m available during my off-hours for evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On weekends and days off, I have more flexibility for extended care. I’m used to balancing a structured schedule and always prioritize reliability, clear communication, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. As a full-time Vet Tech, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions — to keep them feeling secure and stress-free. I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any health changes. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection. During house sitting, I maintain a calm, clean environment and provide regular updates for peace of mind. My veterinary and kennel experience allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age and personality, but the seniors and medical-needs ones have truly changed my heart. I understand the patience and gentleness they need from giving medications to helping them feel safe and loved again. I’ve also worked with puppies, helping them build confidence and learn good habits early on. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior soul, I make sure each dog feels like they belong and are cared for as if they were my I’m own. I work from home most of the month so I am able to care for my dogs and a few special need dogs. I have cared for dogs with multiple health issues such as diabetes, heart issues, cancer, kidney issues and more. I can help give medications, insulin or any other special needs. I treat every pet like my own. At my home, they have a large yard to play and explore safely, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. My dogs love to cuddle, so there’s always lots of affection and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family.
About: I grew up with St Bernard’s and Labs, so big dogs are no sweat! But I’ve also had the pleasure of having small dogs and cats throughout my life, making me an excellent, versatile choice. Hairstylist by day, pet sitter also by day. And night! I make my own schedule, so I can give extra care to your sweet babies! Whilst I don’t offer boarding, I do lead with a safety first mindset. I avoid leash greets, and overall focus on preemptively stopping any issues. Your and your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Costa Mesa
Nancy was simply wonderful. I am so glad to have found her because she took such good care of my cats and made me feel very comfortable about leaving my cats for a couple of weeks. She was extremely professional, communicative, and I could tell she was great with pets because my very shy cats came out to greet her… so unlike them and a great sign. I would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Nancy!!!
Candice was wonderful!!! Both my kitties love her so much! The photos I got made me feel like I was there. And, she went above and beyond to repair a small hole Bunny put in a window screen. I couldn’t ask for a more responsible, sensible, and sensitive pet sitter.

Nicholas was wonderful with Hazel! She can be a bit shy, and Nicholas arrived early to get her comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his patience with my girl in getting her to eat, potty, and take her meds! Nicholas sent lots of photos, update messages, and took his time with Hazel, and we're both so appreciative!

She was a great cat sitter! She was always on time, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also brought in our packages and watered our plants, which we really appreciated. Our cat was in great hands, and we'd definitely book with her again!

Hannah always goes beyond what's required not only did she spend extra time with our puppy she even helped when the puppy made a mess. He got into some old boxes and files she completely took the time and initiative to not only clean it all up but also move everything outside his play area since we were out of town!!! Highly recommend her 10/10 stars

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 Costa Mesa 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Costa Mesa. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
