“Isabel was the absolute best! Prompt, communicative and so incredibly kind. This was our first dog sitting experience outside of friends and family and she truly eased any fears we had. Would recommend her 1000x over! Thank you, Isabel!”
“We are so thrilled to have found Kari. She was the absolute perfect person to care for our kitty who was recovering from post-surgery complications. We were nervous to leave Simba after everything that happened to him recently, but Kari assuaged all of our fears. Kari took such great care of him, following his annoyingly strict medicine and food schedule. She watched for any litterbox issues. She stayed in constant contact with us and sent so many photos showing us how happy Simba was to have her there. Kari also left our house in immaculate condition and brought in packages. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing sitter and can't wait for her to care for Simba in the future! Thank you, Kari!”
About: I believe my love for animals and responsible, caring instincts are what set me apart from other pet/home care providers. Caring for your furry beloveds in your absence truly brings joy and is an opportunity to make a positive difference in your lives. What could be better then that? My schedule is very flexible as I strive to establish myself on Rover as a pet care provider of choice. When do you need care for your furry loved ones? Let me know and I look forward to meeting your needs! I love providing a fun, relaxing and safe environment while you are away. In terms of how I do this, I follow each client's directions for keeping their pets happy and safe.
About: I've taken care of dogs small and large. And over the years, I've gained more knowledge on what to do and how to keep them safe. What sets me apart is I treat every dog I come across like my own. I give them the same amount of care, love and attention as I would my dog. I'm currently a stay-at-home wife looking to make some extra income. My schedule is completely free and I am usually up around 08:15 AM. My pets are real homebodies and like to stay inside. I take my dog on walks and playing with both of them. I will only let the pets outside if their owners have allowed it.
“Lily did a great job taking care of my cats! She handled some unexpected issues that came up and kept me updated the whole time. I was able to take care of what I needed to without worrying about my pets, knowing that someone trustworthy was looking after them.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for years through pet sitting, dog walking, fostering kittens, and running cat adoption events. I have also taken care of a variety of different animals, and with all my various experiences, I am a reliable and confident caretaker. My goal is to take care of your pet with love and care, and prioritize your expectations! Pet sitting and walking is my current job, so my schedule is always open! I have time every day to either walk dogs, do checks in, and watch pets overnight and/or for extended periods. I always keep a watchful eye on any animal in my care. I never let dogs go off leash (unless that is specifically asked of me), and I make sure to spend quality time with pets.
About: In my mid-20’s and currently searching for a career change- it’s a perfect world for my love of animals to help me earn some side change in the mean time! I am a life long animal lover of ALL types, shapes, and sizes. It would be my pleasure to walk your dog and/or house sit for your pets! I have lived with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, rats, chameleons, chinchillas, chickens, mice, fish, just about every domesticated animal you can think of! I am currently between jobs and thus have all the time in the world for furry friends! I am always active so dog walking would fit right into my daily schedule! I will take great care of your animals and as a tall, fit young man I can be a good presence at your home while you are away! All animals deserve love and attention and I have an unlimited amount to give!
“Bailie took great care of my kitties while I was away! She made sure they stayed clean, fed, and entertained, and she provided me with daily updates on how they were doing! :)”
“Leah took such good care of Petunia during my trip abroad. I felt I did not need to worry at all, especially since Leah gave appropriately detailed summaries of her check ins. She didn't miss anything, and has gone above and beyond with every visit. I can tell she truly cares about Petunia's well being, and that gives me great comfort as well. Thank you so much, Leah!”
“Mackenna was an amazing sitter, she did a great job watching my cats and made me feel relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She communicated well with me and was caring and attentive of my pets. I highly recommend if you are needing a sitter!”
About: I have raised and taken care of animals of all sizes since I was a kid. Animals from small dogs and cats, all the way to large animals; I’ve raised, cared for, and loved! I am very flexible with anyone who is actively training their pups (of any age) and I understand the value of a gentle caretaker for senior pups! I am a full-time student at Saddleback community college, so my schedule does change during the school year. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have one class (1:30-3:45), but I am free the entire rest of the day. I have completed and presented research for habitat restoration and species protection in a biology lab at CSUF! Currently, I have all the time in the world for pet care from Friday-Sunday. I am flexible with whatever your pets and your needs may be. I do not offer boarding in my home, simply due to my apartment size, but if your pets have a favorite park or trail to walk I am willing to walk the distance (or drive if they like car rides). I can do anything your pet(s) may need as long you have the supplies to do (like a leash for walks, or treats for training, etc)!
“Collin is awesome! I highly recommend him for your pet care. I have a 4 month old kitten and need someone to come play with him when I am out. When I got home my kitten was tuckered out! I received pictures and updates. Such a relief to be able to go out and know someone is caring for your pet. Thanks Collin!”
“Tera took care of my 3 cats for 4 days. She went far above the call of duty and I am very grateful for how well she took care of my kitties. Although she was scheduled to come for drop-in visits, she stayed longer so that she could keep the kitties company. When I came home, I saw that she had gotten some toys for the kitties to play with. You can tell that she loves cats and is happy taking care of them. I did not worry at all during my vacation because I knew that the kitties were getting enough attention and were probably not missing me at all. I will not hesitate to use her cat sitting services again in the future.”
“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I took care about my sister's dog husky. It is amazing! So fluffy, so cute, so kind and funny! It always needs a lot of attention and energy which I give with pleasure. Now I am working part-time, so I have enough time to visit your pets in the mornings or in the evenings. This is may be not just a short visit, and I can stay for some time to play with your fur baby! I always clean litter boxes and bowls. Fresh water and food are important things for every fluffy face. I will send you pictures and videos with your pets so you can be sure they are in good hands!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dana Point
I am so happy we found Amy - she sends photos and a report at every visit and we come home to a happy and content kitty. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind we have when we're away knowing that she's taking good care of our kitty and our home. Thank you Amy!
I rebooked Breeana a second time because she did a great job the first time. She came to feed my 3 kitties and take care of them while I was away. Again, she did a wonderful job. I was especially grateful that she noticed that a kitty had turned on the air conditioning unit accidentally while the hose that is supposed to vent out the window was venting indoors. She quickly unplugged the unit and told me about the hazardous incident. I was very relieved and will make sure I unplug appliances before I leave next time. The kitties were all doing well and happy when I returned. I would gladly rebook her in the future.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Monkey and Hammy! This was my first time leaving them alone, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She took such great care of them, spent time playing with them, and sent me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was so comforting to see that they were happy, comfortable, and doing just fine while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I came home to two happy kittens! I would absolutely trust her with Monkey and Hammy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful cat sitter. ❤️
Emelia took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away. She came by to feed them, but also took the initiative to bring a brush and a toy so that she could engage with them. In the pictures she sent, they appeared very comfortable and happy. She was successful at getting even my most distrustful kitty to play with the feather-on-a-string, When I returned home, the kitties looked content and everything in the kitty room was super clean. I highly recommend her and hope that I can use her services again in the future.
I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dana Point is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $36 per visit.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
