“Jody was amazing with our dogs! Very caring, attentive, and always on time for daily visits. Our dogs loved spending time with her, and she played with them so well. We also really appreciated all the photos and videos she sent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“I just want to give a huge shoutout to Lisa for all the amazing help she’s been for me and my dog, Angel. Since I found her on Rover, she’s been super reliable and has taken such great care of Angel this week. Lisa always sends me updates and cute pictures of Angel, which really helps me feel better while I’m at work. It’s so nice to know that my pup is being looked after in the middle of the day. I can’t thank Lisa enough for everything she’s done. If you need a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend her! Thank you, Lisa, for being there for us!”

About: I have been using rover for a few years for my own dog and now I am wanting to be the pet sitter so I can spend more time with my own dog. I have approximately ten years on and off of pet sitting, ranging from dogs to cats to pigs to turtles, I'm reliable and capable of taking care of any pets. Im here to set your mind at ease by treating your pet like my own! Pets bring so much joy to our lives and its my job to make sure your pet is happy, stimulated and calm while you're away! I work 4-5 days a week as a professional massage therapist, no more than 6 hrs away but that can be flexible if needed. All other hours a week im available for walks, check-ins and overnights. I try to have a good rapport with not only my clients but the pets as well. I want both parties to feel safe and comfortable trusting me that I can provide a safe and fun environment! I follow all instructions and communicate effectively when things arise
“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 have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, and animals have always been a big part of my life! I’ve previously owned two cats and currently have a sweet, friendly 5-year-old Maltese named Sonny. I truly love spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a large dog, or a shy and independent cat, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like part of the family and provide plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in loving and responsible hands! I spend most of my time at home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide personalized care, attention, and companionship for both dogs and cats. I make sure every pet follows their regular feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule as closely as possible.

I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry family member is well cared for! I live in a clean, comfortable single-family home in Irvine with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime and fresh air. I have a friendly and gentle 5-year-old Maltese named Sonny who is accustomed to being around other dogs. I welcome dogs of all sizes and understand the importance of proper introductions and supervised interactions. Pets can also be kept in separate areas when needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Having previously owned two cats, I also understand that cats need a calm, secure environment and their own personal space. I always respect each pet’s personality, comfort level, and individual needs. For visits to your home, I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.

“Rachael was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy Hamilton ! Booked her for a drop in visit. She was so communicative and sent me so many pictures. She followed all my directions perfectly and my puppy was left happy and tired and took the best nap of his life !! I can't wait to book her again and I can't wait to see her relationship with Hamilton develop ! He absolutely loved her ! Thank you Rachael!”


“David and his daughter have just dropped in to check on our kitty Cookie. They took great care of him. They checked his food and water, and scooped his litter box. They also stayed with him and played with him, and we could see that the kitty liked both of them as he let them pet him :) We definitely recommend David and we will definitely ask him if he could take care of o ur kitty in the future.”

“Chanel was a wonderful choice for our dog Mocha. She was attentive and cared for her according to the instructions. We came back to a happy and well cared for dog. I would definitely use Chanel’s services again for Mocha.”

About: I had an orange tabby cat and brown dog growing up. I played with them frequently and always enjoyed their company around the house. I hope to treat your pets with the same care and attention I showed mine! I currently work on weekdays so I have flexibility to make time for pet care on the weekends. I want to ensure your pet’s happy, healthy, and well taken care of so when they come home they can be the best version of themselves. I value taking the time to learn what care looks like for your pets and will follow any instructions passed my way, always prioritizing their comfort. I also will prioritize make sure your pets are kept secure in an enclosed area when needed.
About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I've taken care of many of my friends' and family's dogs, including overnight house sitting, daily walks, and trips to the dog park. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages—from young, energetic dogs that need extra attention to older dogs that require a little more patience and care. One of my special skills is keeping active dogs engaged and exercised. I love running, so I'm happy to give energetic dogs plenty of exercise and playtime so they can come home happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to care for each one accordingly. I currently work a full time job during the weekdays, but I have plenty of time after and on weekends to take care of your pups! When caring for pets, I am very attentive and make sure they are my first priority. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away!

Bailey was amazing with Misu while I was away for the weekend! 🥰 She was so sweet, patient, and attentive, and kept me updated with detailed notes and lots of photos. It made me so happy seeing Misu become more comfortable and playful with her each visit. I felt completely at ease knowing Misu was in great hands. Would absolutely book Bailey again!

Once again, Erin did a fantastic job! This time, she cared for three cats while we were away for our daughter’s wedding, including our daughter’s cat Mila. As always, she was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We truly appreciate her care and look forward to booking her again!

Megan has done a wonderful job caring for my cat, Jasper, while I’ve been away. He has clearly been missing me and feeling a little lonely, but she has given him plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. Megan kept me well informed about how he was doing and sent some wonderful photos that gave me great peace of mind. I’m very grateful for her kindness, diligence, and excellent communication, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable house sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Alvina has such a kind, caring personality and a genuine love for animals. She’s truly a cat whisperer! Our cats absolutely adored her, and knowing they were happy and comfortable with her gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, taking the time to meet with us beforehand, putting together a thoughtful checklist, and sharing helpful tips and advice. She kept us updated with wonderful photos and videos, and even handled an unexpected mouse situation with such calmness and care! She was also incredibly reliable, responsive, and punctual, always making sure our cats received the attention they needed. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about what she does, and that makes all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets!

YiFan is an absolute gem, not only is she kind and friendly with my elderly cat, checking in on her daily, she is absolutely on top of everything and super responsible. She sents multiple pictures and videos daily during her visits. What really sets her apart is that she is super easy to communicate with and super flexible to my cats changing needs during our absence. Her daily updates allowed us to keep a tab on our cats health, and YiFan was super flexible when we needed to change the daily needs of the our elderly car.

Amazing cat sitter!!!. She is very clean and organized and took excellent care of my kitten while I was away. She spent more time with them than scheduled, played with them, and they really loved her. She also sent photos during each visit. Miranda is very responsive.

This was our second time having Ziqi take care of our cat, and once again, she did an amazing job! She is incredibly attentive, follows all of our instructions closely, and genuinely cares about our cat’s well-being. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which give us great peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that Ziqi is reliable, responsible, and truly loves taking care of pets. We’re so happy to have found her and would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Irvine is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,635 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Irvine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 East Irvine. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
