“Rich, thank you so much for taking care of my cats while we were away this holiday. I loved that you always kept me updated, sent me pics, and was always on time, which was especially important since one of them is diabetic. You helped me feel comfortable that my cats were in good hands. Thank you for that. Merry Christmas! Susana”

“Akiera was absolutely exceptional. From the start, she was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with cats. She kept us updated consistently with photos and detailed messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was calm, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her presence. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. I would confidently recommend Akiera to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I'm just a dog loving person who has experience with all sizes and ages. I have always had a dog in my life and have spent the past 18 months fostering dogs. My home is dog friendly and I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs. I work full time but close to home so I can come check on the dogs if needed and I am within the home on the weekends I board. My house is very pet friendly and I am okay with dogs on beds and couches. Having fostered dogs, I feel it is important to shower the dog with love so they feel comfortable in my home!

About: My background includes a lifetime of multi-pet experience, from growing up with dogs and cats, years of trusted pet-sitting for family members, and being a pet parent raising my own dog and cat for the last six (6) years. I'm experienced in managing the delicate needs of kittens and providing the gentle care required for senior dogs. Whether your pet needs a walk or a comforting check-in, I am happy to lend a helping hand to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while you are away. I currently have a four (4) day work week, allowing me provide drop in visits and walks for your pet on a predictable schedule Friday-Sundays. Whether you may be travelling or need an extra helping hand, I'm happy to step in! Your trust, your pets safety and the security of your home are my highest priorities. During every drop-in visit and walk, I ensure all doors are secured upon entering and leaving, maintain strict leash safety outdoors by avoiding distractions (reactive dog owner!), and provide photo updates for your peace of mind.

I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like one of my own.

“Jenna is truly amazing. This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t be happier and excited that I found her. She took care of my two cats for a week. I was very stressed about leaving since we have recently moved into a new place. She sent photos everyday, helped with the finicky litter robot and send picture updates everyday. She also helped me with a time sensitive package while I was gone. She is truly an awesome person and pet sitter. Wish I could give Jen more than 5 stars.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with dogs, had a handsome black cat for 14 wonderful years, and have experience owning and caring for horses and rabbits. I’m currently a proud dog mom to two lovable menaces who keep me on my toes daily! From high-energy troublemakers to laid-back cuddle bugs, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and treat every animal like one of my own. I currently work part-time mid-shift (two 12 hour shifts) with variable days. My schedule outside of work is fairly flexible! I’m also a night owl, so if you’re a night shifter that needs fur baby help later in the evening/night, I’m available. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own! I know every animal has their own personality, quirks, and routine, so I tailor my care to their individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, an adventure for a high-energy pup, or some extra love and attention, I prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions, and maintain their pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

About: I have been taking care of dogs from all various age ranges since I started dog sitting and walking at the age of twelve. While I don't have any professional training, I can easily connect with dogs on personal level because of my warm and friendly personality. I have two large dogs of my own and have an understanding of what it takes to care for bigger breed dogs. I love to spoil my own pets and will do the same for my current and future clients. I currently work as a teacher so I'm available to take care of a clients pet in the early mornings and anytime after 2PM. I'm more available on the weekends and will usually take the pet out for longer walks as my schedule permits. I have never taken care of another clients pet in my own home, I always get offered to stay in my clients homes. The clients always introduce me to the pet before I take the job, to make sure I will be a good fit and am trustworthy to be in their home. All clients I have house sat for, leave detailed written instructions as to what their pets daily needs and routine are. I make sure to follow all directions exactly how they are written and I keep the client up to date on how the animal is doing plus I send check in pictures whether they are requested or not.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet! Whether you’re away at work, out for the day, or just need an extra hand, I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is getting the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to Moose, my Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m no stranger to big personalities, playful energy, and dogs who need a little extra attention! Having a large dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, understanding different personalities, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. I also work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a nice long walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and treat them like one of my own! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be highly available and flexible with your dog's needs. Whether it's providing multiple walks, play sessions, or simply being there to keep your dog company, I'm able to give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you're away, and my home setup allows me to give them the constant companionship and supervision that provides peace of mind. With my flexible schedule, your dog will never feel alone for too long, and I can accommodate any special routines or care they might need. I take great pride in providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog, whether they are staying in my home or yours. In my townhome, I have a secure, gated park where your dog can run off-leash and enjoy some fun, exercise, and fresh air. The community is dog-friendly, with safe pathways and a peaceful environment, ensuring your dog is always in good hands. Inside my home, I make sure there’s plenty of cozy space for your dog to relax, play, or nap—whatever they prefer. I also maintain a consistent routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure to follow your dog's routine closely, keeping them in familiar surroundings while still offering playtime, walks, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that your dog gets plenty of love, exercise, and care to keep them happy and relaxed.

Mimi has done a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog. He has warmed up to her very quickly and enjoys going out on walks with her. She makes sure to maximize the time that she gets to spend with him and is spending a majority of that time outside and keeping him active. I highly recommend her services and plan to keep rebooking while in the area.

Meamea was wonderful! She was very attentive to the care of our cat. It was comforting to have someone check in and spend quality time with her. She even was attentive to outdoor decorative scarecrow that was blown by the wind and made sure it was placed in a secure location. If you plan to go away and need someone to take care of your fur baby, then look no further and book Meamea!

Teri has been great for the entirety of my overseas trip. She was very communicative which I greatly appreciated and let me know when there was any change going on with my cats while I was away. We then worked together to try and find a solution before I got home. She was extremely respectful of my house and even tried to help me out with a mail situation, which she absolutely did not have to do. She sends a great amount of pictures for each visit which was lovely to receive while I was away. She is a very sweet person, great at communication, is very attentive to the animals in her care as well as respectful of the house she is visiting. Just overall a really great rover sitter and I'll be using her again for my next trip!

I’ve been using Lily & Jason for dog walks for a while now and have always had a great experience, but this weekend they also did a drop-in for my two cats while I was at a wedding and my dog was boarding. They fed them, spent time hanging out with them, and made sure they were happy and taken care of while I was gone. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I have people I trust not only with my dog, but with my cats too. They’re reliable, caring, and genuinely great with my pets. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend them for both dog walking and pet sitting!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fountain Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fountain Valley is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $36 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 12,294 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fountain Valley. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fountain Valley. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 .

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.
