“So far so good! We had a very nice meet and greet and I feel so comfortable with Amy taking care of our cat while we are away on vacation. Amy is so pleasant, friendly, and I look forward to seeing her soon! Thank you!”
“Mel was such a blessing to us! She helped us out in several last-minute situations while we were staying at an RV resort in Orange, and we’re so grateful we found her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Winston was with someone who was trustworthy, reliable, caring, and genuinely kind. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We would absolutely love to have Mel watch Winston again the next time we’re in the area. It’s such a great feeling knowing that when we come back, we have someone we can depend on. Thank you so much for everything, Mel! ❤️🐾”
About: I've always lived with a dog, and by always I mean since I was born. I currently have a 12 year old pitbull that I've had since he was 3 WEEKS OLD! He is now a senior citizen, which has been my favorite phase thus far. I’ve had plenty of other dogs, and I get to know each dogs personality. Just like humans, every dog is different. Age and breed have a lot to do with it as well. I know that younger dogs require more energy to burn with play and walks, and senior dogs want to be included and require us to be patient with them. 🥹 regardless dogs make me happy, and would love to be the one to help take care of your fur babies because they have needs and feelings too. I'm currently working remotely at my own schedule, so for the time being, Im pretty much available any day of the week. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need or even last minute need to look after our pets. I will respect the rules of the pet owner's home and their preferences when it comes to taking care of their pet. I may give cool aunt energy, but I will always make sure that what parents say goes.
About: For the past fifteen years I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve been available to family and friends to walk, feed, and house their pets while they travel. I work full time, but I’m home in the evenings and weekends which leaves plenty of time for play time and long walks with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with a locked gate and two friendly cats who get along well with dogs. If needed, I can crate your dog and keep the cats in a separate room.
About: I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats for over 15 years. I’ve also provided house and pet-sitting services, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and other care needs. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and plenty of attention. Most importantly, I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Lisa was exceptional. She took such good care of our fur baby. He actually was looking for her the first morning we were back! Lisa followed our instructions to a tee she gave us pictures and kept us informed of all the duties. We found our new forever dog sitter.”
“Tessa is an amazing addition to our weekly routine. She is very communicative and reliable. My dog is very shy and slow to warm, but he has been easily won over by Tessa’s care and consistency. I do not have to worry if my dog is safe or able to go outside, due to Tessa’s drop-in services.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been known as the animal lover in my family and friend group. I’ve had more than seven dogs of my own over the years, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also the person my friends and family call when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I’ve cared for multiple dogs in my home and have experience with potty training and teaching basic commands. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them outside, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m available during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in home and a clean, secure yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks. I keep a clean environment and make sure pets are supervised and have a comfortable space to relax. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats of all personalities. With years of experience caring for pets (including my own chic, sassy tortie), I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. Im able to take walks throughout the day and adjust to different schedules. I live in a gated apartment complex with lots of grassy areas and sidewalks for break time. There are lots of other small dogs and cats in my complex who are friendly as well.
About: I have grown up with small and big dogs. I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s little personality — whether they’re a professional cuddler, an energetic adventure buddy, or a total couch potato. 🐶 Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own. I’m happy to keep up with their routines, give them plenty of playtime, walks, belly rubs, and of course, lots of love and attention! 🦴🐾 I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of cute photos and messages while you’re away, because I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby! I work a 9-4 in office job, but occasionally have work from home flexibility. I will be able to get up early to feed and walk them. I live in a house with a small backyard. I’m very active so will be more than happy to take your pet on multiple walks throughout the day if needed.
About: I’ve house-sat for multiple dog owners over my life and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’ve yet to meet one I couldn’t make a friend out of. Whether it’s house sitting, dog walking, or just stopping in for a quick visit, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup. I have two dogs of my own that I walk daily, play with, and spend plenty of time with, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. I treat every dog like I would my own and always make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or any other specific instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’m also respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept secure and tidy.
About: I have been a dog owner for the past 12 years now and I would not have it any other way! For the best relationship with my clients, communication is key in order to understand not only their needs but their puppy's needs also. I am diligent, sociable, and super bubbly! I will love, cherish, and care for any other dog like it is my own! Treats are a must when it comes to good behavior, but notify me to opt-in or opt-out! My walks and drop-in availability time is from 3PM-10PM for the puppy and mine's safety. I am also available all day on Mondays, Rover didn't let me specify. If you have any further questions or requests for your puppy you are more than welcome to contact me, thank you!
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
About: I have experience taking care of senior dogs, including administering medications and eye drops. I've also taken care of younger dogs and can keep up with high-energy puppies. I currently spend most of my time studying at home and taking care of your pet would be a wonderful break for me. Sometimes, my schedule can be variable depending on what my study schedule can look like, so I would love to talk ahead of time to figure out what's best for us and your fur baby! I completely understand the responsibility and trust needed to leave your fur babies and your home to someone else, and I will work hard to preserve that trust and take care of both. I will send regular updates so you can be at ease that things are going well.
About: My love for caring for animals started when I was just 12 years old, and I’ve now been providing pet care for 19 years! What started as a passion at a young age has grown into a lifelong love and career. Along with pet sitting, I also have professional grooming experience, which has given me even more hands-on experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through grooming, I’ve learned the importance of patience, gentle handling, understanding body language, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. My experience includes pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, grooming, nail care, and providing companionship. I’ve worked with shy, nervous, energetic, and more challenging personalities, and I understand that every animal needs an approach tailored to them. I believe pets deserve the same love, patience, and attention they receive from their families. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the animals I care for, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! I create my own schedule, which allows me to offer flexibility and work around your pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to coordinate visit times, walks, and care routines in advance so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pets. I value communication and will always do my best to be reliable and accommodating. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With 19 years of pet-care experience, I’ve cared for animals with all kinds of personalities, temperaments, and needs. I believe in taking a patient, gentle approach and allowing every pet to feel comfortable at their own pace. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my 11 year old son, our Australian Shepherd, Otis, and our two bearded dragons. I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.
About: Hi, I’m Talia! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve fostered both dogs and cats and have experience with behaviorally complex and reactive dogs, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m especially patient and attentive with shy, anxious, or sensitive pets and love taking the time to earn their trust. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a drop-in visit, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I'm currently a part time student at Chapman, so I have a flexible schedule and I'm looking to fill time (doing something I love 🐾) between classes, working on my thesis, and caring for my own dog! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication when caring for pets. I have a secure fenced yard and can provide a calm, supervised environment, with the ability to crate dogs if needed. I’m also experienced with reactive and behaviorally complex dogs and understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, boundaries, and individual needs. For drop-ins and walks, I’m careful to keep pets secure and closely supervised in their own home and neighborhood.
About: I am a reliable, patient, and flexible pet sitter who generally loves animals of all kinds! With years of experience I provide safe, loving and personalized care to ensure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after while you’re away :) I work full-time at an office during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Since moving from GA to CA, I haven’t been able to bring my own dog with me, so caring for someone else’s pet brings me real joy! Pet care fits naturally into my routine whether it’s evening walks, feeding, or playtime it’s a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals and share my genuine love for them. I’ll keep your pet safe and happy by following your instructions and treating them like my own. Being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to make them feel comfortable at home!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Modena
Raquel was an amazing sitter for my cat Tater Tot! She was communicate and proactive before the visits to get all the details. On her visit days she spent lots of time, followed all the instructions, went above in beyond in getting my shy cat to interact. She kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was out of town. I highly recommend her!!
Emma is one of the best sitters I've found on here! She is attentive, punctual, and very detail oriented. My cat doesn't give an eff for strangers, but she took to a liking with Emma almost immediately! It made the trip away super easy knowing that Emma was taking amazing care of my furry idiot.
Mel was such a blessing to us! She helped us out in several last-minute situations while we were staying at an RV resort in Orange, and we’re so grateful we found her. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Winston was with someone who was trustworthy, reliable, caring, and genuinely kind. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We would absolutely love to have Mel watch Winston again the next time we’re in the area. It’s such a great feeling knowing that when we come back, we have someone we can depend on. Thank you so much for everything, Mel! ❤️🐾
Jacob was amazing with Lilibet once again! This was our second time having Jacob take care of her, and he was just as wonderful as the first time. He was incredibly caring, reliable, and communicative, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Lilibet was in his care. He kept me updated and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Lilibet clearly had a great time with him, and it means so much to have someone I can genuinely trust with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jacob again, he’s officially one of Lilibet’s favorite people! 🐶❤️ Highly recommend!
Tessa provided great care for my cat during daily drop-in visits. She took care of food, water, treats, litter box, and play time. I really appreciate the daily updates and photos left with each check-in on the app. She followed directions very well. I would highly recommend Tessa’s services!
I had a last minute request for drop-in kitty feeding - with a complicated entry into the house - Shannan accepted the responsibility and went above expectations, she was exceptionally caring to Bella and had zero issues figuring out how to provide service. I have been a Rover sitter myself for 5 years, I can honestly say now I understand the value of asking for help and receiving peace of mind and the effort a sitter gives to care for pets. I HIGHLY recommend Shannan🌸 she is top notch as a Rover sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in El Modena is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 11,814 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across El Modena. 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 El Modena. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
