About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time
“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Daniel took great care of our dog, Olive, while we were away. His check ins were punctual and he always sent updates and pictures to let us know she was happy and healthy!”
“We truly appreciate Laura doing drop in visits, watching our three senior dogs while we were away for over a week. They loved her and even our shy dog warmed up to her quickly. We will definitely reach out to her for dog sitting in the future!”
About: I grew up in a household full of animals, including two dogs, a cat, a rabbit, and two birds, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and taking my dogs out for bathroom breaks, as well as cleaning and maintaining the living spaces of our cat, rabbit, and birds. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when caring for animals. Beyond caring for my own pets, I gained additional experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family friends throughout college. My flexible academic schedule allowed me to take on overnight and multi-day stays, where I was trusted to care for both pets and their homes while their owners were away. Through these opportunities, I became familiar with maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules, daily exercise and playtime, administering medications according to owner instructions, and following nighttime household security procedures. I also helped with additional household responsibilities, such as watering plants and keeping the home clean and organized. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, experience caring for a variety of pets, and commitment to being a responsible and dependable sitter. I understand that every pet has its own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to adapt my approach accordingly. Whether your pet is energetic and loves outdoor adventures or prefers a quieter day filled with companionship and affection, I'm happy to provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve! I work six-hour shifts, three to four days a week, leaving my mornings and evenings completely open. As someone who enjoys staying active, I make it a priority to go on walks twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would love to have your pets join me and am more than happy to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day based on their needs and energy levels! I'm also a very affectionate person who loves spending quality time with animals. Whether it's playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! Growing up with pets, I understand how much love, companionship, and joy they bring into a home. Since losing my childhood pets while I was away at college, I've missed the energy, affection, and special bond that comes with caring for animals. I would love the opportunity to bring that same love and dedication into caring for your pets! When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining the routines they are familiar with. I firmly believe in respecting each pet owner's rules, preferences, and instructions, whether that involves feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medication, or specific household guidelines. I understand that consistency is important to a pet's well-being, especially when their owner is away. Above all, I want to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pets so that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the experience. I am committed to treating your home with respect and your pets with the same patience, affection, and attentiveness I would give my own. My goal is for you to return home to happy, well cared for pets and feel confident knowing they were in loving hands!
“I knew I could trust Taylor the minute I met her and she told me she had 9 kitties, a dog, two Guinea Pigs and two kids. She sent us pictures of our fur babies during each visit, We will definitely use Taylor again and we highly recommend her for any pet sitting duties you will need. She is 5+ stars ?. Thank you Taylor.”
“Sydney is great. 2nd time I’ve used her. My cats hide from new people but she takes the time to try and lure the out of hiding - even if it’s just for a photo. Appreciate it and I feel better knowing she’s checking on them.”
“Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a family dog and have spent the past almost seven years raising my sweet dog, Ginny, since she was a puppy. Through caring for Ginny, I’ve experienced everything from the playful puppy stages to the routines and extra attention that come with having an adult dog. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m also a mom to a little boy who absolutely adores dogs! We are a dog-loving household where pups are treated like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a cozy place to relax, my goal is to make every dog feel right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I would love to provide the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own dog. I currently work from home full time! It is mainly Ginny and I at home during the day. We go out 2-3 times to walk outside to sniff and go potty. Ginny would love a companion to hang out with at home instead of wondering why I’m staring at a screen at my desk job! I have a completely fenced yard with chicken wire for your pup to play in with Ginny! If your pup is on any specific medication, I’m happy to help ensure they receive that at the appropriate time daily.

“We could not be happier we found Camille to take care of our babies while we’re away. She cares for and loves them as if they are her own, which gives us great peace of mind when we need to leave them. We will absolutely be repeat customers again & again ❤️”
“It was a my first time using rover and Randi set the bar very high. She was communicative, detail-oriented, compassionate, and sent so many pictures. She clearly knew what she was doing, and quickly gained the trust of my skittish cat.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Ranch
Dawn is the best! Even when I was having communication issues with another sitter, she offered to come drop in if needed, which was seriously so sweet. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her for droppings or long-term stays! By far the best sitter we have had since moving to the area. Love this pictures of our pup too!
Let me start out by saying I worry about my pups when I’m away from them! I have a rescue that can be very reactive and it makes me nervous to leave her. I also have a smaller dog that alerts her to anything or anyone that might be approaching which makes her even more anxious. So when I go away I need someone I can count on to make sure things go smoothly. That person is Daniel! From the moment I met him he was attentive, engaged and the pups loved him! I had mentioned my bad experience with my prior dog sitter and he made sure to make our experience with him a great one! At exactly the time I asked him to come I got a notification that he had started the visit. He did exactly what I asked and then was nice enough to send me a text letting me know that everything went great. I got pics of my pups and I could tell from those pictures that I had nothing to worry about.Every time I reached out to him he responded and rather quickly! There is not one thing I would change. He showed up, he loved my pups, he took care of them and made sure my place was secure when leaving. Now the only thing I worry about is people finding out how great he is and getting all booked up when I need him! Seriously if you need someone you can count on and trust, Daniel is your person!
Riley was a huge help. She was very responsive and was able to watch our pups last minute. Our pups were treated so well. She checked in with us periodically and made sure they were taken care of through all the check ins. Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!
Ailen was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat and 2 dogs! She was able to watch our pets for a week on short notice and was extremely thorough with her care for them. She is an exceptional communicator, and kept us up-to-date on all things happening while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ladera Ranch is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. 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 7,910 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ladera Ranch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Ladera Ranch. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
