“Alison was great. We will definitely have her stay with the dogs again. She sent daily updates and has great communication. She understands that some dogs need a little extra love and care. Our dogs were happy when we got home and I know they got extra care.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Yarira took such great care of Ava and made me feel completely at ease from the moment she arrived. She was early, incredibly sweet and attentive, and Ava instantly loved her. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was so reassuring and let me know Ava was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Ava again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“Hoai is by far the best dog sitter we've ever had for our beloved Gizmo. She genuinely cares about his well-being, going beyond just the basics to ensure he's happy and healthy. Not only did she watch over Gizmo with great attention, but she also took the initiative to help with his potty training, which has been incredibly helpful. Her communication is top-notch—she kept us updated regularly, sending us the cutest pictures of Gizmo while we were away. These little updates always made us smile and feel at ease. Hoai also went the extra mile by proactively sending us tips on Gizmo's training and overall well-being. We couldn't be more pleased with her services and will 100%”
“Katie did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of our dog, Hoppy, who had medication and extra care needs while recovering from surgery! We were very impressed by Katie’s attention to detail and would not hesitate to recommend her!”
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! ❤️🐶
“Tiffany was amazing! She was super communicative throughout the entire stay, sent regular updates and pictures, and followed all of our directions perfectly. Our kitties and North absolutely loved her! We could tell they were in great hands. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can fully trust. Highly recommend!”
“Austin was communicative throughout the weekend that he stayed at our house to watch our German shepherd! Our dog isn’t the best on the leash with other dogs, and we totally trusted him knowing he had experience with other dogs like this. Came back to a house that seemed untouched. Would absolutely recommend him and use him again!!”
“Lunette did a terrific job! We needed someone last minute to stay with our two cats, and she handled everything like a pro, including giving our new kitten meds and gradually switching both cats to a new food. Great job!”
About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.
“Claudia was an amazing pet-sitter to our dog and cat! After meeting her beforehand and seeing how happy Chase and Jojo were to see her, we knew they were in good hands! She sent us pics of our boys and kept us updated. Claudia is the sweetest and friendliest woman you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend her.”
“Stella was fantastic! She took such great care of sofie, taking her on multiple walks each day. She sent us plenty of photos and videos, and was always very responsive whenever we messaged her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she left our home spotless- she even cleaned before leaving, which we absolutely didn’t expect and greatly appreciated. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible sitter ❤️”
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.
“Taylor was AMAZING with my two cats and dog. My dog has separation anxiety and requires daily medication and one of the cats is very shy. Taylor stayed in our home for the entire 2 week international trip and not only did all the pets lover her, but she also left the house cleaner than when she arrived - without even being asked! I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be booking her for future pet sitting. She is responsible, responsive, and clearly an animal lover who sends daily updates and photos/videos if requested. I am so glad I booked her for this trip!”
“Daniel was awesome with our 5 month old puppy who needs a lot of care and attention. You can tell he’s very comfortable with dogs, and he was responsible and communicative with us during his stay. We came home to a happy, content pup!”
“Excellent pet sitter. It was my three year old Maltese first time with a new sitter. Erin is loving and took care of my fur baby just how I would. Bean was happy and well cared for. She sent me pics snd updates which was also great!! Highly recommend Erin.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. It started with rescuing baby birds that fell out of nests, to now driving deep into the desert to rescue abandoned dogs. It is an honour to be able to give animals the dignity they deserve. I have had almost 2 decades of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. I have pet-sat dozens of animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, etc. I am compassionate, a hard worker, and easy to communicate with. Let’s connect! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to your needs. I enjoy making animals apart of my daily routine! I have a cat that is strictly indoors with safety netting on the window. Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)
“Cheryl was amazing. Jack loved her! And we loved the peace of mind that came with her care and attention to all his puppy schedules and needs! Our home was equally well cared for, would highly, highly recommend Cheryl.”
“Kaitlyn was the perfect sitter and house guest for our 14 year old ragdoll. We received great communication and tons of photos of our kitty. Would love to have her back again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Ranch
Laura was fantastic with our boys - very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, followed our instructions carefully, and had no issues with medications. She also kept our home tidy and brought in our mail and trash cans. We felt very comfortable knowing the dogs and house were in good hands and would definitely use her again.
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.
We were so fortunate to have Caroline housesitting for a week and caring for our puppy Hailey. We could tell right away that Caroline is very experienced caring for pets and that she has a great love of animals. Our puppy is a picky eater and Caroline took time to work with our puppy to get her eating while we were away which was a relief. Our home yard and most of all our puppy appeared well cared for upon our return. We hope to have Caroline help us out again in the near future and drop in visits . I’ll add that Caroline kept us up to date each day with photos and she’s great communicator'. Highly recommend Caroline!
Maureen stayed with our dogs in our home while we were out on vacation. She checked in with us every day and was so attentive to our girls! I just know they were so loved while we were gone!! 10/10 recommend Maureen, and will be booking with her again in the future if she’s available!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ladera Ranch is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $117 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 October 2026, there are 5,077 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
