“Yarira is a wonderful pet sitter and a good human (according to our pups and us)! She instantly bonded with our protective Australian shepherd and silly pug, and their love for her was obvious based on the many smiling photos she sent of our Aussie, Lily, as well as the pictures of Eddie sleeping and resting comfortably on or next to her. She even took the dogs to the dog beach while we were away! (*with our permission, of course...) A short video of the two pups showed lily planting kisses on her face while she tried to pose them for the "Live" picture -- a sure sign that Lily was happy as could be. She also took good care of our home while we were away, and we always felt comfortable knowing she was there with our dogs. We would absolutely have Yarira back to care for our furry kids anytime.”
“Katelyn was great with Niko! She took wonderful care of him and our home, and we could tell he had such a good time with her. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Katelyn!”
“Janet was great! We had some delays on our arrival and she was very understanding. She sent us many photos and kept us informed throughout the entire stay. Chance had great time with her, he looked very calm and cozy! We look forward to working more with Janet! Thanks!!”
“Emma did an awesome job watching our fur babies! She sent us regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. 😍 She is going to be our go-to sitter from now on!!!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog with the same love and care I’d want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring outside, or taking things at a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I’m currently a full-time college student at UCSB, and I enjoy spending my free time staying active and being outdoors. Pet care is a great fit for my routine because I can plan walks and visits around my class schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work for everyone and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 10 years old- growing up with dogs as well as cats, I learned from a young age to reliably feed, clean up after, and play with animals in a loving and genuine way. I have been house sitting consistently for the last 2 years while owners go out of town and I am trusted to care after their space as well as pets! I currently work as a massage therapist and yoga teacher- so my hours are part time! I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups/cats and care after your space. I work mornings for massage and afternoons for Yoga. I live with my mom right now, so I am able to leave any time for overnight stays. I will assure that your dogs / cats feel comfortable and safe with me during overnight stays in your space- staying calm for any adjustment time needed.
“Lamar is a great sitter! He is communicative and sends pictures of our pet throughout our trip. Oats is a happy relaxed cat when we return from our trips! He is respectful of the home and has left the place neat and tidy.”
“Chelsea was great with housesitting for us and taking care of Chase and Jojo! They really enjoyed having her around. She always kept us updated with pics and videos. We’ll definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for over 9 years and I also went to school for veterinary technology. I am currently a licensed RVT. I also pet sit for my friends, help with feeding, walking, and sometimes bathing as well. I can also help with medicating pets too such as oral medicine, insulin, ear cleaning, ect. I have no pets of my own but I make sure all the animals have fresh food, water, and bedding. If the weather is bad, i will bring the dog inside the home if the dog lives outside. I can also assist with walking dogs too. I also will take the pet to the vet if needed, god forbid if it is an emergency or if the pet doesn’t feel well. That is also my priority as well as in letting the owner know if something happened with the pet, and if I should take him/her to see a vet. I currently work at a vet office in santa ana but I am able to do drop in visits after work, and I am also able to stay over night if needed. I keep in regular contact with the pet parent, sending frequent updates about the pet. If I have any questions i also will ask as well.
“Thalia stayed at my home for 7 days to care for my dog Astro, and she did an excellent job. She was responsible, kind, and attentive, and Astro was clearly well taken care of. I felt very comfortable leaving my home and pup in her care and would happily book her again.”
About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
About: I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2011. I’ve been an rvt for 7 years and love what i do. I’ve been in an animal hospital for over 10 years I work full time with a toddler but looking to fill some days on the side to help a family take care of there pets I take care of them as if they are my own. Respect everyone how they should be treated with love and compassion. I am loyal I work full time in the veterinary field but need some extra pay to help pay for childcare have experience with all dogs and cats Since i have a dog that’s picky with other dogs i would prefer to sit in your home unless my dog was comfortable with it she has stayed before at my parents house with their dogs I have an open work schedule, therefore daily visits and weekend visits are what I offer! I can do overnight visits if necessary, if your animal requires someone to stay at night. I currently can’t take pets in my own home. I can stay overnight in your home if needed. This will include play time and giving them all the extra love while you are away! Walk, feed, sleep repeat .she loves walks and sniffing everything. She will pee multiple times as she is older and needs more frequent walks so less accidents happen I have a small patio and lots of yard space to walk my dog. She goes out plenty of times during the day and just loves being with someone or anybody who gives attention
“Kimberly was ana amazing sitter for us! We had some unexpected maintenance needed and she was able to handle with no issues and was super communicative the whole time. Plus she did ana amazing job taking care of our energetic young pup and following our instructions. 100% would recommend!”
About: Life long dog lover. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have a relaxed, loving and safe home for belly rubs. Seniors and Small friendly breeds welcomed. I am currently working part time mostly remote. So I have plenty time to give attention and love to your doggie. I’m available for boarding and walking. I have a fenced back patio for the fur babies. My guest have full range of the home. I have a multi poo myself and I can easily crate your dog if needed at your request.
“Kiryl was excellent! Very responsive on time and took great care of my Matteo! Highly recommend Kiryl pet care and staying with your fur babies! Will definitely have him stay with my boy again! Many Thanks”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and truly consider them family. From growing up with pups to dog sitting and house sitting for friends and clients over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs lots of play or a shy dog who needs patience and love, I meet every dog where they’re at. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away As a full-time grad student with night classes just 2–3 times a week, I have plenty of flexibility during the day for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m available every day and can also provide overnight care on weekends and some weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love being active and spending time with animals, and I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I treat your home with respect—clean up after the pets, bring in mail, and keep things tidy. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how your pet’s doing while you’re away. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet!
“Nancy was great, and just who Glory needed. I had to go out of town over the 4th of July weekend, and I hadn't used the app before (or left my dog with someone she didn't know); naturally I was a little anxious for both of them during fireworks, but Nancy sent a video of my dog SLEEPING through the noise. Glory usually paces all night during the 4th, so she had some calming magic that did wonders. I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries in the end. Nancy sent me several updates in my absence assuring me that Glory had been walked and fed, and was doing well. Communication on all things leading up to the booking, as well as through, couldn't have been easier or better. Nancy is also wonderful in the housesitting aspect as well, everything was as I left it (if not a little cleaner in some regards!). If you need someone who has a calming and patient presence for your pet, or you have any hesitance with someone in your home, I highly recommend Nancy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Ranch
We had such a great experience with Hoai. My dogs have unique needs. They have very specific needs, eating home cooked meals on a regular schedule, and getting lots of love and attention. They are very attached to me and sensitive to changes in their routine. Hoai has been kind, thoughtful, and attentive to their needs. She has been wonderful helping me with my trip putting me at ease.
Dawn was so great with our two goldens, daily walks and a lot of updates that helped give us peace of mind while we were out of the country. We are so grateful we found her!! The house was clean and taken care of when we got back home as well. Thank you Dawn!!!
Laura was very helpful, she was aware of the things to look for with caring for Brandy. She was great at updating me with photos. She explained details of her status. She seemed to take a liking to Brandy and so did my baby girl. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends. She was worth every penny.
We travelled for a little over a week. Caroline did an excellent job once again. Our pup needed medicine twice a day and she’s often a picky eater. Caroline was great at caring for her. Hailey seemed non-stressed and happy when we got home and all was in order. Thanks Caroline.
Austin took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town! He made sure he got daily walks, administered his daily medication without any issues, and sent us daily updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Austin to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring to look after their pet!
Yasmine was an excellent dog sitter. She met me a couple of days before we went out of town to meet our two dogs. She bonded with them right away and that made me feel very comfortable. She kept us informed a few times a day with pictures and texts of the dogs. Also, she left our house in immaculate condition which is what we appreciated!
Kate was an outstanding Dog sitter. She followed all of the instructions carefully and gave me complete piece of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent, which kept me informed and reassured that my dogs were happy and well taken cared for. Kate was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
Saeedeh was amazing! We left our pup, Huxley with her, and he had such a great time. She provided many updates, pictures and videos which helped us feel at ease as he can be a sensitive guy. She even hand fed him when his nerves prevented him from eating the first day after we left. I can tell he got a ton of playtime and love in bc he's passed out and exhausted from his stay which is a great sign. Highly recommended!
Rex thoroughly enjoyed his time with Collin. When I got home, I saw Rex looking in the doorway of the room where Collin had stayed. Collin sent pictures and text updates of their activities. Collin was very responsible in taking care of my german shepherd. i was looking for someone who was comfortable with large dogs. However, Collin will be great for your pet of any size.
Tiffany was by far the best sitter I’ve had. She is responsible, professional, super kind, an amazing communicator & Human. My pup charlie is definitely shy and has separation anxiety. He won’t go for walks or come in the living room when alone with strangers. Tiffany was able to make him go for walks and he even came and laid next to her! She know how to take care of your fur baby and I’m forever grateful since it was my sisters wedding and I was gone all day! Thank you Tiffany for putting my mind at ease on such an important day & taking care of charlie. She is so kind that your fur baby can tell they are safe. Will for sure rebook with her 🙌🏼🫶🏼
Gustavo was amazing. Great communication, very friendly, flexible, and attentive to our girls. We will definitely be requesting his help again. And the girls loved him. I am pretty sure they would have jumped in the car and gone home with him if given the opportunity.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ladera Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ladera Ranch is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $122 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 5,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ladera Ranch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ladera Ranch walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ladera Ranch maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ladera Ranch choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ladera Ranch. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
