“Maggie is the best. She took excellent care of Xavi and kept him calm and comfy during her drop in. She’s prepared for every circumstance and has a gentle loving approach like he was her own. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud Doberman mom, caring for dogs is something that is genuinely personal and meaningful to me. I have 6 years of experience dog walking and dog sitting, along with years of experience caring for dogs in my own family. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s small dogs, and now I have firsthand experience caring for my own large dog. Because of this, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, needs, and comfort level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care because I experience that same feeling whenever I entrust someone with my own dog. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their dog is being treated with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to keep them comfortable while you’re away, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and love being able to make time for pets! My availability can change from week to week depending on my work schedule, but my weekdays are typically very open, especially during the daytime. Feel free to reach out! My typical availability: * Monday: Available after 11 AM * Tuesday–Friday: Typically very flexible, with the most availability during the daytime * Weekends: Usually available during the day; evening availability varies depending on my work schedule * Evenings: Often available during the week, with weekend evenings depending on work I’m currently in school for nursing, so I set aside time for studying, and I also work part-time at a brewery with a schedule that varies each week. Because of this, advance notice is always appreciated! It helps me plan around school and work and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows, so please feel free to reach out even if you need someone on shorter notice. I’m always happy to see if I can make it work! I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime house sitting. I’m also willing to travel throughout Orange County to care for your pets. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care because I feel the same way with my own dog, Jade. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable knowing their baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. How my care for your pet is unique: * Getting to know them: I love learning about your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. * Following their routine: I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, treats, playtime, and any special care they may need. * Respecting their personality: Every pet is different. Some are ready to be best friends right away, while others need a little time to warm up. I’m patient and let each pet get comfortable with me at their own pace. * Prioritizing safety: I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could potentially put your pet at risk. I never want to take unnecessary chances with their safety. * Respecting your home: When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their things organized, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. * Keeping you informed: Communication is really important to me. In my previous dog-walking and sitting experience, I’ve made a habit of leaving a printed visit summary after each visit. I fill out the appropriate details, including whether your pet ate, potty details, treats given, the duration of the walk, and an overall description of how the visit went. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can see your pet while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals—not simply someone stopping by to check a box. I know how reassuring it is to receive those little updates when you’re away from your pet, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety always come first.
“Rachel is amazing and wonderful. So glad we found her to check in on our 3 dogs. All our dogs are comfortable with her and enjoy her company. She is detail oriented and makes sure our dogs are well taken care of. She takes pictures and videos of them when she drops in for a visit. She is also super flexible and understanding when we have change of plans. Pick Rachel as your go to Rover person!”

“David is the best pet sitter ever! We truly appreciate everything he does for our two golden retrievers, and the care and love he provides. The pictures are great too. Thank You!”


“Jody is fantastic! She is friendly, always on time, and amazing with my puppy. Her communication and scheduling are easy and reliable, and I appreciate the detailed updates she sends after each visit. Highly recommend and will continue to use her going forward!”


“Linda is always the absolute best!!! My fur babies adore her. I would never trust anybody but her with them. She is so attentive and communicates so well and sends many updates. I really really appreciate her more than she could probably even imagine! I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”

About: I’ve owned pets for over 15 years and have professionally taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years. I am known to be reliable, caring and patient. I work my full time job at home but am available for visits or walks during lunch hours and anytime after 5:30. I am available on weekends any time as needed. I have a 75lb Staffy/Bulldog who is well trained/extremely sweet. She is well known by my neighbors and can be considered as the doggie president in my condo community. She’s on a weight loss diet, and I can help your pets with that, or give any medications to your pets if needed.
About: I have over two years of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I can handle energetic walks, look after puppies, and help senior dogs feel comfortable. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I am attentive to details, build quick connections with pets, and always prioritize their safety and happiness I am currently available any day of the week at any time, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities.
About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.
About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!

About: For five years, I’ve provided dedicated care for friends’ dogs and cats, handling feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure every pet feels safe and loved. Since I work part-time and is a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I can make sure your pet doesn’t lose their routine you’ve established. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their existing routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Photo & text updates, light house work(bringing in mail/ watering plants), routine maintenance(feeding/walking/sleeping schedule will be maintained)
About: Hi, I'm Tanchi! I'm an active empty-nester living in Irvine's Great Park neighborhood, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've shared my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. With two grown kids out of the house, I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give your pets. I genuinely love walking dogs (the longer the walk, the better), and I keep fit and active, so keeping up with an energetic pup, or slowing down for a senior dog, is no problem at all. What you can count on: reliable communication with plenty of photo updates (or fewer if you prefer), respect for your routines and your home, and care as attentive as I'd give my own pets. Living right by the Great Park means excellent walking routes practically at my doorstep. I'm new to Rover and building my reputation one happy pet at a time, so I'm offering introductory rates for now. You'll get lifelong pet experience and extra-attentive care at a great price. In return, I hope to earn your 5-star review! I'd love to meet you and your furry family member. Let's set up a Meet & Greet! Experience highlights: Lifetime pet owner: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish Comfortable with all energy levels, from playful pups to mellow seniors Active daily walker, familiar with Great Park trails and Irvine neighborhoods New to Rover, with introductory rates while I build my reviews I set my own hours, so my schedule is flexible — available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, mornings through evenings. Happy to work around your pet's routine. Your pet's safety comes first. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding routines, medications, leash rules, house rules. I do a Meet & Greet before any booking so everyone's comfortable, and you'll get regular photo updates while your pet is in my care.
About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
About: I have had pets, all of my life, from guinea pigs to cats, and dogs. I have a true passion for animals and love all of them like they're my own. Since I was a child I have truly had a love for animals and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I will treat your furry friend like part of the family, not just the family pet. I will love your pet and treat him/her with a tremendous amount of care. I will take him for long walks, or go to the park. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you can trust to give your pet the care that he needs, and I can assure you, he will get plenty of TLC! I am available all day on weekends and weekday evenings.

“Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.”

“Hoai was absolutely amazing! I had a friend watch my babies and my friend had something come up Labor Day weekend and wasn't able to watch over the furry ones. I was out of town camping and in panic and worry looking for a sitter. I downloaded and booked Hoai last minute. She accepted right away and made sure my babies were taken care of and felt loved while I was away. I absolutely loved the consistent report cards and videos. I will definitely save Hoai for my babies, they love her!”

About: I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home. We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life. I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Foothill Ranch
Kylie was phenomenal in keeping consistent communication upon her arrivals and leaving with taking care of my rabbit. She was super friendly and followed through with instructions. I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone's fur baby care as they will be in good hands with Kylie!

Bradey is a wonderful person. She cares for our Bob and Sprout like they are her own. She is considerate, trustworthy and very attentive. I appreciate her and all that she continues to do for us. I booked her last minute because I had to be at work and she happily accepted. She arrived at our home, walked our pups and stayed with them for the entire time. Thanks Bradey!

As always, Aarthi was super professional and took great care of our baby. She's amazing communicating everything and following new or updated instructions, and she's always very affectionate with our cat. We are very happy knowing our baby is in good hands whenever we have to travel

Annie is amazing! It was my first time having her take care of my cats and I highly recommend. My cats are shy and don’t meet very many strangers. They warmed up to Annie right away. She sent me very detailed notes on her visits and lots of cute pictures. I came home to happy and relaxed kitties who had been very well cared for 😊

Maggie was a last minute find for originally a two day but accommodated for a three day instead. Very flexible and does very well with our frenchie and cavapoo. Special needs dogs and I was not worried at all when Maggie was there to see the pups, feed and even apply medicines (topical and injection!) We found an amazing one.

Michelle is wonderful with our puppy Tobie and has been a great help to us on the day we both work and can't be home with him. She has been caring for him since he was 2 months old. He is now 6 months and we are looking forward to many more with Michelle! I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Foothill Ranch is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 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 October 2026, there are 9,711 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Foothill Ranch. 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 .
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 .
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.
