“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”

They were on time, responsive and followed our instructions perfectly. They were also willing to help us out when we were in a tough spot when our flight got canceled on the way home.

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: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old—both my own and those of friends and family. I grew up with a high-energy Jack Russell mix, so I’m no stranger to playful pups who love to move. I genuinely love all animals and have a deep appreciation for their unique personalities. I’m a recent graduate from UC Irvine and currently have a flexible schedule as I search for full-time opportunities. That means I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat—and I’d love to spend it keeping your pet happy and active! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during every walk or visit. Whether at home or in a nearby park, I always make sure your pet is having fun while staying safe. I also enjoy learning about pet behavior and regularly watch dog training and grooming videos to stay informed. I’ve been around both energetic and fluffy pets all my life!
About: 🌷Meet and greets if desired with new clients 🌷Detailed updates with photos/videos 🌷Lots of love for your fur babies Hi! I’m Sydney 🤍 your pet’s new favorite sitter! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and currently have a 10 year old dog of my own, so I understand how important routines, patience, and individualized care are. I also regularly care for my brother’s cat and have owned cats in the past, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and individual needs. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I also volunteered as a dog walker at my local animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a recent neuroscience graduate applying to PA school, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily routine and love spending time outdoors and staying active.

During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure each pet receives attentive care, plenty of affection, and any specific instructions are followed closely. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve had 3 years of dog sitting and dog walking all different types of breeds of dogs from as small wiener dogs to as big as a Great Dane. That’s not including all the years of caring for my own animals from horses, kittens, chickens to even piglets. I’m a stay at him mom so Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, including feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friend. Weekly tasks include grooming, vet visits, and stocking up on supplies. Depending on your animals temperament I make sure I do all I can do to make sure all pets are it in their most comfortable environment.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
Nicholas was wonderful with Hazel! She can be a bit shy, and Nicholas arrived early to get her comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his patience with my girl in getting her to eat, potty, and take her meds! Nicholas sent lots of photos, update messages, and took his time with Hazel, and we're both so appreciative!
Hannah always goes beyond what's required not only did she spend extra time with our puppy she even helped when the puppy made a mess. He got into some old boxes and files she completely took the time and initiative to not only clean it all up but also move everything outside his play area since we were out of town!!! Highly recommend her 10/10 stars
This was our first time booking a cat sitter through Rover, and Andrea made everything very easy for us. She was reliable and followed our instructions well. She sent us pictures during her check-in with our pet. We will definitely be rebooking Andrea in the future!
Amy went above and beyond for my senior cat. I reached out to her just hours before I had to leave for a last minute trip and she responded immediately. Throughout her care I received tons of pictures and videos. He was so happy and well cared for on my return. Such a great sitter and clearly cares about the pets she takes care of.
Sarah has been an amazing sitter for us! She's been flexible and accommodating to our cats as well our sitting needs. We looked forward to her wonderful drop in updates every day we were gone. She was even able to coax one of our more shy cats out of hiding for some pets! Highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!
Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fountain Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fountain Valley. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
