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

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.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover originally from Brooklyn, New York, and now living in beautiful Southern California. I grew up with cats and have had them in my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—from affectionate and playful cats to those who are shy and need a little extra patience. I love dogs and other animals as well! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I spend time helping care for and socialize both cats and dogs. This experience has taught me how important it is to approach every animal individually and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be dependable when families need help caring for their pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m trustworthy, responsible, patient, and have no criminal background. I will care for your pets with the same kindness and attention I give my own. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, litter-box care, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I'm a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible. Im available in the day and evening times most days a week. I won't work past 8pm. My cats roam free throughout my home, no restrictions. Smokey and zipper eat dry cat food. Zipper and smokey are easy going cats. zipper enjoys play time.

“Jamie is awesome! We spent the day in LA and needed somebody to watch the pets while we were gone. She came over to meet our doggos beforehand and they immediately liked her. Jaime dropped in and took care of the dogs twice, and even spent a little extra time because one of our dogs is a little shy. I highly recommend her!”

We received daily reports and even pictures of puppy. Taylor's love for animals and sweet demeanor are outstanding. We would recommend her to any pet owner who wants the best...for their best friends!!!”

“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!”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always been comfortable caring for animals. I’m familiar with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’m dependable, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate house sitting, daytime visits, walks, and varying pet-care routines. On weekdays, I do school drop-off in the morning and school pickup between about 3:00 and 4:00 PM, so I may be briefly unavailable during those windows. Outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility for pet care, visits, walks, and overnight stays. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. I also respect each client’s home and privacy and will treat their space with care. I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve instead of squeezing walks into a busy day. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for a long adventure or prefers slow sniff walks and extra belly rubs, I'm happy to match their pace. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday potty break, an energetic walk, or a drop-in visit with playtime and belly rubs, I'm happy to fit your dog's routine into my day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines as consistent as possible, and make sure your dog gets plenty of attention during every visit. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering oral medications, and helping post-op dogs when needed. You'll also receive photo updates and a summary after each visit so you always know how your pup is doing.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ladera Ranch

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 .

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.

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 .

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.
