Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again

Daniel did a great job taking care of my dogs this weekend! He was reliable, professional, and clearly knows how to handle animals. My neighbors even mentioned how respectful and attentive he was with the dogs. Everything went smoothly, and I’ll be booking with him again. Highly recommend.

Kristie has watched our doggies a few times and she has been wonderful to both our Bob and Roxy. We have a very anxious older dog and she has been so patient with her. She is always on time and provides regular updates/pictures which makes me feel at ease. She always makes sure that our dogs are calm before she leaves them at the end of her dog sit. We appreciate her so much.

About: I’ve always been a total cat person! Whether it’s a playful kitten or a seasoned nap champion, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of feline friends: energetic, shy, purr machines, and everything in between. I understand that each cat has different needs…whether that’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone who knows how to give the perfect chin scratch. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and low-stress environment. I keep their routine consistent, from feeding schedules and litter box care to making sure they have clean, cozy spots to relax. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so their space stays fresh and tidy (no stinky boxes or spilled kibble here!). I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. You’ll get updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well and probably living their best life. Cat sitting, for me, is more than just a job. It’s a chance to bond, provide comfort, and be a trustworthy stand-in while you’re away. I genuinely love being part of their day and making sure they’re not just safe, but happy, relaxed, and completely spoiled. I babysit or run errands occasionally during the week, but I’m just five minutes away. It’s easy for me to stop by as needed. I have plenty of time to give your cat attention and care when it matters most. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. I’m mindful of keeping doors and windows safe, removing any hazards, and ensuring they always have fresh water, a clean litter box, and their favorite cozy spots. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. Whether they’re playful or prefer quiet time, I tailor their care to make them feel safe, seen, and loved.

Our cat couldn't get more attention and care. He's very social and loves attention, amd she gave it! Proof was in the amazing pictures we received. Battlecat is super special and our fur baby, so this means a lot. Its heartbreaking to leave him, but when we do, we know he is treated so well by MacKenna. ❤️

About: I’ve worked at Wags and Wiggles daycare/boarding and cared for my own dog through her seniorhood. I’ve puppy sat for lots of friends and family members as well as having Dog Dates when those same people just need a moment! I’m a part-time and gig worker so I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and care they deserve! Additionally, I work from home often enabling me to be hands on and attentive to all specific pet needs. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to YOUR dogs needs. I live right next door to a dog park and incorporate long walks into my every day, making me compatible with a more social dog. I also spend a lot of time at home reading and writing, making me great for cuddlebugs and lower energy dogs!

Daly was incredible. My family and I were out of country for 2 weeks on vacation. We had never left our dog with anyone before and we were very nervous about it. Daly is very sweet and confident around us and our dog. Our dog was 1year and very high energy at times, but Daly was un-phased by the challenge. She has a lot of experience around animals and it shows. Being on complete opposite times zones was challenging, but Daly sent video, photos, updates and questions along the way to make sure we were informed about our dog everyday. It was absolutely perfect. I have no concerns about recommending her to friends and family and she will definitely be our dog’s go-to caregiver in the future!

Dawn is absolutely incredible. She was able to hunt down our very tricky cat and successfully give her the medication she needs. Pet sitters we've used in the past we're not able to do this. She let us know about a leaking pipe outside and was there to troubleshoot. We can't imagine traveling without her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ladera Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ladera Ranch on Rover is $23.31 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 7,980 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ladera Ranch. 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 Ladera Ranch 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 Ladera Ranch. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
