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!

Sofia took wonderful care of our dog, August, while we were away for three days. She was responsible, punctual, and amazing with our anxious pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and was always quick to respond. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We can’t wait to book with Sofia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Nadine and her husband were so amazing with our special needs pups! They did drop in visits for us for 5 days while we were on vacation. 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. They gave us such peace of mind and provided the cutest pictures! Highly recommend!

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.

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'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 had cats and dogs (and others) my whole life. I recently moved to SoCal to be with my fiancé who is allergic to cats. I'm using this as a method of getting some kitty love since I can't have my own personally. Highly motivated to give pets and cuddles. Successful at changing litter boxes. After 5pm and on the weekends is when I'm free, which is perfect for those going on trips who need someone to check in on their pet! I had an escape artist cat, a skittish cat, and evil cat who hunted me for sport (long story) and still cared for them all expertly and with love. A cat can't surprise me at this point. Also I'm a pharmacist, so I'll make sure they don't get into anything they shouldn't and have an innate need to care for living things <3

About: Animals have always been my passion. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, fostering, and animal rescue. I’ve worked with puppies, kittens, seniors, shy pets, and animals with special medical needs, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and providing extra care when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm, dependable companion, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My background in animal rescue has taught me patience, reliability, and how to recognize when something isn’t quite right with a pet. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or medication, I’ll work with you to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. My home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also share my home with one friendly dog, cats, and chickens, so animals are truly a way of life for me. With a background in animal rescue, I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs or medical conditions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine and personality. Safety, patience, and compassionate care are always my priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

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

About: I have always grown up around dogs and now I have 2 beautiful golden retrievers. I have nursed their wounds, given them medication, made their food, groomed them, and some hours of research to take care of them. I have also watched or helped take cared of friends and families dogs. My past job as a cna has helped me to not be afraid of a messy situation. I am also great with high energy dogs. I am currently a student and help my partner with his private chef business so I have lots of free time in between. I help him with 1-2 events a week so I have a lot of free time to check up or walk your dogs. I am available every morning and most nights. I go to school online and all of my classes are currently short and spread out so I have lots of free time for walks. I would care for my client’s pets like my own. We will have the best time together and I always make sure they are in a happy and safe environment. I am always prepared on walks with treats, extra leashes, and plenty of bags.

About: I understand what dogs need because I pay attention to the small things. When my own dog, Gorio, gets anxious, I don't just manage it—I anticipate it. I've learned to read his cues, adjust environments before he gets overwhelmed, and create routines that help him feel secure. I've taken him camping, navigated social situations with other dogs, and made tough calls to protect his wellbeing even when it's inconvenient for me. I treat every dog in my care like they matter—not as a job, but as a responsibility I take seriously. Whether your pup needs patience, structure, or just someone who won't leave them feeling like a burden, I show up fully present. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be seen. Working part time as a surgical technologist, I usually work 3-4 days a week. On my own time I can do mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays I can also do Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings Home Visits: I respect your dog's space and routine. I will pay attention first to their comfort level, read their cues, and don't force interaction, when they are anxious. I’m very patient with them, so I make sure they feel safe, not stressed by having a stranger in their home. Walks: I'm mindful of your dog's pace and energy. I don't rush them. I'm aware of their triggers and keep them feeling protected, not overwhelmed. Overnight Stays: I'm consistent and reliable. Your dog won't be left wondering or anxious. I make decisions that prioritize their wellbeing, even when it's inconvenient for me.

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.

We had an amazing experience with Gloria! She did such a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, caring, and reliable, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated while we were away. Most importantly, our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. I would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies! ❤️🐱🐱

This was our first time working with Amanda, and we are so happy we found her! Amanda arranged a Meet and Greet right away and she quickly hit it off with Simon and CK, who responded quickly to her warm and kind presence. Blondie, our shy kitty came out from hiding during Amanda's first drop in, and it's been smooth sailing (and lots of Churus) ever since for all three kitties. We loved getting the daily photos of the kitties being spoiled by their new friend, and it's been wonderful to come home to happy, well-fed, and relaxed fur babies. Thank you, Amanda, for your great communication and attention to details, and we look forward to your next series of visits!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fountain Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fountain Valley on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 12,388 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fountain Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.
