Greta is what you'd expect from a good, reliable, dog sitter: great with pets, good communication, offered a meet and greet which went well, competitive rate, available during a very rainy holiday week, walked Astra in the rain, dealt with an unexpected ant problem in Astra's food then made sure Astra ate or if Astra skipped a meal Greta made sure to put the food back in a container so the ants can't get to it, oh and cleaned up after Astra tore up a few things. My dog was weirdly naughty that week, it was a rainy week, and I haven't seen ants since I got back which was very nice. I think it was a very difficult and busy week for Greta but she handled everything like a pro! Would rebook and recommend! Thanks Greta!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a very important part of my life. Spending time with dogs, playing with them, preparing their food and water, and paying attention to their daily routines comes naturally to me because I truly love and understand them. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs extra patience, I will treat them with kindness, attention, and love just like they are my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will do my best to give both you and your dog a stress-free and reassuring experience. Pets are like family to me — they are like my babies. I always try to follow their normal routine and take the best care of them so they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I pay attention to what they need and let them be themselves while giving them lots of love, patience, and care. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I always care for pets according to the owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and care. I take my responsibilities seriously and always do my best to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while they are in my care.

I recently had to return to the office full-time after working from home for the past three years, and I was quite anxious about leaving my dog alone for eight hours. A friend recommended Rover, and I decided to give it a try, though I was initially hesitant about having someone come to my place and take care of my dog. That's when I found Lisa, who lives nearby. We arranged a meet-up last week, and to my surprise, I realized I have known her husband and her dog, Bodie, for the past three years from our neighborhood walks. This connection instantly put me at ease, and I was thrilled to have found someone I could trust. Lisa has been incredible this week, taking care of my dog during the middle of the day. She sends me pictures and updates on how he's doing, which reassures me while I'm at work. Her dedication, communication, and reliability have been outstanding. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. She's been a lifesaver during this transition, and I couldn't be happier with the care she's provided.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality. Over the past two years, I've also regularly cared for my friends' cats while they were away, providing drop-in visits that included feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has its own routine and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll adapt to their needs and treat them with the same love and respect I'd give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away by providing reliable, attentive care and keeping you updated with photos and messages after each visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time every day for walks, playtime, and getting outside, so caring for a dog or cat feels like a fun part of my day rather than a chore. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s habits, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would give my own. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Kaylee. I've been caring for dogs, cats, and other exotic pets for over 12 years.I’ve rescued multiple stray dogs that turned into my family members. Learned from professional dog trainers and dog psychologist, I closely observe dogs’ body languages to recognize signs of stress and discomfort. I live in a clean and welcoming, dog-proof townhouse located in Great Park, Irvine with a fenced front yard for your pups to play and sunbathe. I live with my husband with a sweet and gentle small dog Ripley. We have no cats and no kids and only board one or two dogs at a time, so your pup will receive lots of attention and personalized care. I follow owners' instructions carefully and try my best to stick to your pets' daily routine and provide a calm stay for them. I work from home and can keep your pup company. I normally offer three walks a day ranging from 20 min to 40 min each walk, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening, and potty breaks depending on your pup's needs. If you pup requires more exercise, feel free to ask and I’ll try my best to accommodate to that. I live in a two-story townhouse with a fenced front yard in Great Park. I also have access to a number of trails and two dog parks nearby my home. I don't take dogs to dog parks to interact with other stranger dogs for safety reasons. Dog park play time can be arranged if your dogs love to run around and play fetching 🎾. There are no kids and cats in my home.

We were SO glad we found Erica to watch our pets while we were away. During the meet and greet we knew she would be perfect - her calm, kind, and loving demeanor was perfect for our pets. She sent pictures and updates every day, and went above and beyond to make sure our home and everything in it was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter.

Brittany is the most amazing person! I never go out of town simply for the fact my frenchie is aggressive and it’s hard to find someone she is okay with. Brittany came to meet my 2 and took on the challenge of Juby. She sent pictures every visit, played with them, gave the best updates on what was going on, she even took them on a virtual walk since I wasn’t having them go out. She went above and beyond for me and even had my aggressive booger happy! I’m so happy I found Brittany and so are Juby and Dezi! She will be my go to as long as she will have us!

This is my second time having Corey look after my 2 cats and i can’t recommend her enough ! She is incredibly thoughtful and will often bring her own toys to ensure the kittens get their play time and attention. She goes above and beyond in sending me detailed photos of their time together and always makes sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. Will be booking her again for my next weekend away !

About: Hi! I’m Kristiann, a dedicated pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they need. As a lifelong cat owner, I’ve cared for felines from playful kittens to senior cats requiring daily medication. I understand their unique needs and personalities, providing a patient and loving approach. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, cuddle time, or specialized care, I’m here to help! Let’s make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m available to care for your pet before or after work any day of the week, as well as anytime on Mondays and Wednesdays. No matter what, I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve! I ensure every pet receives the love, care, and attention they need based on their unique personality and requirements. For cats, I’ll clean the litter box daily (or as needed), provide fresh food and water, and, of course, offer plenty of affection and cuddles. For dogs, I’ll make sure they get their walks, bathroom breaks, and all the attention they deserve—including lots of love and snuggles! Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. 😊

About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care. I once had three dogs at home at the same time and allowed them to sleep on the bed. I would walk the dog every day and feed it three times a day, morning, noon and night. After meals, I would also prepare snacks for it. I will take very good care of your dog and report its condition to the owner at any time. If a bath is needed, I can also help with that. As I'm a part-time worker, I'm at home almost four to five days a week. I will spend time with your dog every day and give him plenty of playtime. I will also make sure he is fed and hydrated on time. Since I have a 7-month-old dog at home, your pet won't feel lonely. If you want to know about his current situation, I will take pictures and report to you. Since I live in an apartment, the privacy is very good. When I take my dog for a walk, I usually go downstairs with it to play for about half an hour to an hour. Once a week, I also take my dog to the park to play together. Whether it's playing or going downstairs, I will spray the dog with insect repellent spray, so there's no need to worry about bugs. After the dog comes back from the walk, I will wipe its body and give it enough water. If your dog needs any special care, I will strictly follow it and report it to you in time.

As a new car owner it’s been a very hard adjustment having to leave them home when going on travels. Erin gave me and my fiancé the upmost confidence that our boy would not only be looked after in a basic sense, but truly cared for during the days we were gone. Erin sent wonderful photos after every check-in and gave an in-depth itinerary of what they did during the visit. I will be booking with Erin for our next trip and for the foreseeable future!

He was a little hesitant at first, but she got him to open up quickly, and by the middle of the visits he was greeting her at the door! She stayed longer than scheduled, gave him the quality time he needed, and sent detailed Rover cards with photos and videos that kept us updated and reassured.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Irvine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Irvine 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,152 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Irvine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Irvine. 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.

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.
