“Brooke is so kind and accommodating. I needed her last minute and made some modifications to my booking and she was extremely flexible and accepting. I am excited to have her watch my cat again!”
“I got lucky when I found Lauren. She definitely understands and is very knowledgeable about cats. She took amazing care of my cats. She sent me updates daily and even took a picture of one of my cats. In addition, she brought in my trash cans which I left out before leaving for my trip. If you're looking for someone who knows a lot about cats, takes very good care of your cat(s) and provides daily updates, I highly recommend Lauren. She is very good, reliable, and trustoworthy. I won't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.”
“Randi was amazing. I met her on a shorter notice but she was very willing to help. I have a few cats who are a little more nervous around strangers, but when she entered my house, they all warmed up to her immediately. Not a common occurrence. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip. Would 100% hire again!”
“Irene is fantastic. Very professional, communicates extremely well, and is great with our dog. Our pup is in a shy phase, and Irene has been extremely patient with her as they get to know each other. She knows how to properly establish a relationship with dogs. She always sends detailed reports, and makes sure our dog is comfortable and has her food and water taken care of. Looking forward to continuing on with Irene.”
“Irina is really understanding and patient and took care of our pets really well! Even our big one who’s very alert and cautious started to let her pet. She has a big heart for cats and I would definitely schedule another time if we need to. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello! I’m a dependable and responsible animal lover who enjoys helping pets stay comfortable and active. I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are when someone is caring for your fur babies. I had the joy of being a mama to a cockapoo. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends. I just love being around animals. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule and am primarily available weekday afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I keep my service area local so I can remain reliable, punctual, and flexible. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to surroundings, leash safety, gates/doors, water needs, and any signs of stress or discomfort. I also respect each client’s home and treat it with the same level of care I would expect for my own.
“Novia cared for our 2 cats while we were gone on an international trip. She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cared so well for our little fur babies! She sent really detailed notes about all her visits, and left my husband and I confident that our cats were in good hands.”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
“Victoria was great! She took great care of our 3 cattos, she was on time, kept us informed, shared pictures with us, etc She understood our cats’ personalities and was able to connect with them accordingly. She was extremely helpful and supportive, we will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.”
“Lauren did a great job of caring for and befriending my shy senior cat. When I returned my kitty was happy, well fed and everything was tidy. I would book with Lauren again!”
“Kayla is a very delightful young lady. She took very good care of my babies. I would highly recommend her to anybody. She was efficient on time and just the total delight. She was a total package. She knew her stuff and she was very professional highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Jennie & Bennie are the best. I have 2 sibling cats one is a shy sweet girl & the other is my psycho thug boyfriend. Bennie & Jennie are the cat whisperers that make both my kitties my kitties happy”
About: Hello! I am a very active person and go on 2 walks a day. I don’t have any pets personally but I have experience with aggressive rescue dogs and friendly friend’s cats/dogs. I’m happy to take care of any pet that needs an active lifestyle! I work a hybrid schedule so if I am taking care of any pets, I can work from home so that I can give the pets company, let them out to the apartment grass areas, and go for a walk. I have a very peaceful home and would like to accept peaceful cats and dogs. I don’t smoke nor utilize any drugs so I’ll be respectful in other people’s homes.
About: Apart from growing up with dogs and cats, I’ve been trusted since high school to dog sit, dog walk, cat sit, do animal related chores, and much more! I even work with a facility dog for my 9-5 job! I can assure you that your furry (or non-furry) friends are safe with me! 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my walking and drop-in services start right after 6:00 PM onwards. If your pet needs evening companionship, a late-day walk, or bedtime potty breaks, I am your person! I am typically available all day on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Feel free to look at my calendar for more details or send me a message! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs. Crate trained, free-roaming, etc! I can do feeding time, potty breaks, play time, and walks around the neighborhood.
About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am experienced with helping them walk, feed, play, and clean up when I have their fur babies in my care. I love to pet and play with pets. In fact, you will find me frequenting a pet store just to look at pets! I have been dog sitting on Rover for at least 4 years now and come to understand that each dog comes with their own set of unique characteristics and personalities. I've always enjoyed spending time around animals and I find dogs to be adorable and calming to be around. You know you're in good hands as you can count on me to ensure your dog is taken care of! I am currently working part-time so I operate on a fairly flexible schedule where I will have plenty of time to watch your pet. I will be scheduling doggy daycare and services around the days I am off work from my other job. I also live with my husband who is also a dog-lover who works remotely 2 days out of the week, you can trust that there will be an extra pair of eyes that can help watch your pet. I live in a clean condo with wooden floors. I also have a small fenced back patio. If your dog ever needs a potty or a bathroom break, they can easily go in this outside patio area.
“Connie is seriously the best!!! She is so kind and patient. I can tell she has been doing this for a long time. I’m so happy we found Connie to dog sit on our puppy! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irvine
Amanda was amazing with our little man while we were away! You know your cat sitter means business when she brings her own cat toys! She sent plenty of photos and videos and even went above and beyond to help with an ant issue we were having. We’ll be asking her to cat sit again! 💚💜💚
Sabrina is so wonderful - she is so thorough, reliable, and professional. She’s so great with my cats and also goes above and beyond, taking care of my hermit crabs too. She sends detailed reports and adorable pictures every day which is so reassuring - my mind is totally at ease knowing that she’s watching my pets.
Yichen looked after our cats with great attention and care. She provided very detailed notes on each drop-in that she completed. Our kitty cats were spoiled with their special treat sachets and extra goodies we left for them too. We look forward to having Yichen care for them again in the future.
Laura was great as always! One of our cats, who already requires an inhaler and an ointment, got an ear infection right before we were leaving for a week and Laura took care of all of her meds and increased her visits on short notice. It was a huge stress relief. We trust our cats are in good hands when Laura is watching!
2nd time booking with Xiao, and she was just as great as before. Our cats were very relaxed and happy when we got back from our one-week trip. It was clear they were well taken care of, and we really enjoyed the daily photo updates. We’ll definitely book with her again!
Rachel is a professional, caring, trustworthy, attentive and uber-responsible pet sitter. She is also personable, calm, compassionate and reliable. She took excellent care of our cat, Remy, who is older and quite shy and nervous around strangers. Rachel followed all feeding and medication instructions and sent us photos, as well as videos. She didn't rush the visits, always showing up on time, and my husband and I sincerely appreciated her detailed updates and notes. If you want peace of mind when you can't be home with your pet then call Rachel. We can't write enough good things or recommend her enough. We certainly understand why she has earned the great reviews and has so many repeat and loyal clients.
This is the second time Elicia has taken care of our 17 year old, and I hope she never retires! She is someone I can trust completely; we were on a cruise so we didn't have service a lot of the time and knowing she was in charge back home made it so much easier to relax and enjoy myself, because I didn't have to worry!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Irvine on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Irvine. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
