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!
“Amy is amazing with my 2 kitties. She is my go to when I’m needing a cat sitter. Wonderful communication, truly cares, and goes above and beyond to make sure my home is cared for as well. Couldn’t recommend more 🙏😻”
“Sarah did a phenomenal job looking after my cat while I was away. She sent pics and an update every day. I will definitely look to use her again the next time I'm out of town.”
“Rich was outstanding with our dog! This is the first time using Rover service . I was nervous but am so happy with how it went. Rich took extra time to allow Thor to warm up to him. He was very communicative with me & always sent photos. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience and dedication I’ve developed as a first-time dog owner. I successfully crate-trained my Westie from the ground up and have walked her every single day for the past 5 years without fail. I’ve also taught her 10 different tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable following a dog’s individual routine and needs, including preparing and cooking specific meals based on my dog’s diet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, schedule, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I may be a first-time owner, but I’ve spent 5 years learning, training, and building a strong bond with my dog—and I’d bring that same patience, reliability, and attention to detail to caring for your dog. I work full-time as a bartender, but my shifts vary, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during both the day and evening depending on my work schedule. I’m used to making sure my dog’s needs come first and adjusting her routine around my work schedule. For example, if I work a morning shift, I make sure she gets let outside, has a quick walk, and gets her first meal before I leave. When I get home, I give her a longer walk, plenty of attention. If I work a night shift, I’ll spend more time with her beforehand by taking her on a longer walk, playing with her, and giving her a small meal before I leave. I can work my schedule around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, companionship, and care they need. I’m comfortable with flexible or recurring schedules and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, active, and on their normal routine. I have a fenced-in backyard, crate, playpens, multiple leashes, treats, a whistle, paw cleaners, and dog wipes, so I’m prepared for walks, playtime, cleanup, and everyday care. I also have a very friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. If your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they can have a fun playmate and some extra companionship. I always make sure introductions are done safely and at the pet’s own pace. I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any house rules their owner provides. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family while giving their owners peace of mind.
About: I've taken care of animals old and young, playful and shy, and they all get the same amount of love and attention. No paw left behind. I work part time at a restaurant. I had been walking dogs the past couple years, as well as taking care of my own cat. Whither it be morning or afternoon, I always make quality time for your pets. Depending on the care needed. I spend time playing, cleaning up after animals, walks depending on how long you choose and any other activities or duties is needed, all done with care and a calm positive attitude toward the animals.
“Sofia is such a sweetheart and wonderful with my senior pup! She took the time to come meet Skippy a couple days prior to our booking and he immediately went right up to her which he’s usually reluctant to do. I’m very picky about who I have watch Skippy and I feel so safe and at ease when Sofia is taking care of him. I highly recommend Sofia!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals throughout my life so I am very comfortable with animals. Many of the dogs I have known are rescue dogs so I always accommodate to their needs in order for them to feel comfortable. Over the years I have taken care of friends and family members dogs when they have been away. Making sure all their needs are met and they are happy is my goal. I strive to provide every dog attention and love because every dog is good as long as they are loved and cared for. I work part-time at Dollar Tree and attend Orange Coast College with a couple classes during the week. I am usually free in the mornings all week unless I am working. The afternoons and evenings can be hit or miss since my work schedule isn’t fixed. I always make sure that nothing in a dog’s vicinity can harm them whether it’s an environmental cause or another animal. I currently have two cats and always make sure their litter box is cleaned daily as well as feeding them. Ensuring that all their needs are met is my priority, because if they’re happy, everyone’s happy.
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: I’ve been taking care of my friends and families dog for many years. I’m attentive to their care and well being and am a huge dog lover! My backyard is big enough for them to run around and have lots of fun. I currently work part time and have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pup! I’m available on most weekends if you ever need to drop them off for day care or for overnight stays. I have a huge fenced backyard that is approximately 10,000 sq feet , which will give your best friend lots of space to run and play. I have a 5 year old frenchie who loves to play and will keep your furry friend occupied. Being a frenchie owner means there’s a lot of extra care that I have to do and am use to. If your pet needs medication or anything in particular, I am familiar with doing so. If it’s raining, I also have a sun room that they your dog can play in and enjoy without getting wet. I live across a big park that is great for walks. I normally walk my dog twice a day for 30-45 mins.
About: I've taken care of many dogs for my friends and family! They've relied on me to dogsit them overnight and care for them for many days! I work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible and so I'll definitely have time to play with and care for your pets! Would love to keep your fur baby company! I live in a very pet friendly apartment complex with many pet owners. There’s large grass areas and lots of room to run and walk around. Can’t wait to explore the areas around you too!
“Joy was the ultimate professional, and went above and beyond to make my cat feel seen, and loved while I was out of town. I could never compliment her enough for the high quality work she did. If I was given the chance to hire her 100 more times, I would do do it every time. Thank you, Joy!”
About: Hi, my name is Jenifer! I'm 32 love going to the gym, reading, crafting, and sketching. Energetic dogs will find that I'm able to keep up with their energy, while less energetic pets will find that I'm an excellent cuddler! Growing up in Mexico, I was always surrounded by all sorts of animals. We always had 1-2 dogs at home at a time (plus the neighborhood dogs) that I would help care for and play with! You would often see me going about my day with a trail of dogs following behind me! Here in the U.S., I spent a lot of time with family members who owned 2+ dogs at a time that I helped feed, bathe, train, and of course, play with them! Currently, I live with two adorable labs (a 8-year-old Dudley and a 7-year-old Chocolate lab) that I've helped raise since pups and care for when their parents go on vacation. During vacation, my husband and I will take charge of everything from diet, exercise, mental enrichment, and, if needed, any medical emergencies that may occur. I've been around dogs considered to be territorial and even aggressive and have helped to mediate tense situations with these dogs at family events. I also have experience with handling leash-reactive dogs up to 90 lbs. All of this has granted me the experience of handling dogs of all ages, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I've never met a dog I couldn't befriend in the end. Given enough respect, love, and time to get to know you, even the most shy, skittish, and/or anxious dog can come to see you as a friend! I hold this same philosophy towards cats and other animals as well: respect, love, and kindness are the key to any animal-human friendship. (: I also have experience owning and pet-sitting cats and rodents! Of course, no one knows your fur-family as well as you, so following your instructions related to the care of your precious fur-family member is my utmost priority! I will gladly take all necessary steps to ensure that you have peace of mind when leaving them in my care! I'm a stay-at home mom, so my availability is flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Due to caring for my toddler, I'm not available to house-sit overnight, but I'm available to stay all day if you're comfortable with a toddler accompanying me (he will mainly play on the floor with his trucks or throw the ball for a pup if they like playing fetch). Depending on comfortability, I can arrange childcare with family to watch my son, but he would also love to join us on a walk. My son was raised around dogs and knows proper dog etiquette, and LOVES to join our household pups on walks. Your pup's safety and trust is my priority, therefore I make sure to double and triple check all openings and snap a picture of your bestie right before I leave.
“Shena is absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond to make sure my boys were well fed, cleaned up after, and played with. She’s truly got a gift for animal caretaking. She will love them and they will love her back more than you could expect and send tons of photos/videos as proof. I cannot recommend Shena enough. If you need anybody to watch your fur babies, do yourself a favor and ask for Shena ❤️”

Elise just watched my two cats for 5 days while I was on my honeymoon and she was amazing. First of all, she appreciates my cats are hilarious, but most of all, she is very communicative and so nice and pleasant to talk to every time. She goes above and beyond and we would only want to work with her going forward!
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!
Samantha was very professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She responded promptly to the booking request and was highly communicative as we set up the meet and greet as well as the drop in visits. Samantha took excellent care of the kitties, who were happy and relaxed around her. We are so glad we connected with Samantha!

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.

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.

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.
