“Dawn did such a great job with my two kittens - very attentive, took wonderful care of them, and gave them lots of play time! She even kept my place clean, which is hard to do with kittens playing in cat litter all the time :)”
“Camille did an excellent job taking care of our Bella! This morning our neighbors stopped by to tell us how they saw her during her walks & they could see how much she bonded with Bella. We highly, highly, highly recommend her!”
“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”
“This was the longest trip I’ve had away from Romeo, but I didn’t worry nice. Laura is thoughtful, thorough, and takes the best care of my kitty! She is the best pet sitter and I am SO grateful to have her!! I 1,000% recommend her! ♥️🐾”

“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.”
“What a wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful spirit! I could go on for days about how much I appreciated Nikki. She sent pictures during her visit and sent an update of how everything went during her time at our home. Our girls were able to enjoy their home instead of boarding them at a facility. Nikki came over prior to our vacation to go over things, and afterward provided a synopsis of our conversation here on Rover. We were new to Rover and cautiously optimistic. Nikki put our worries and concerns at ease, and made it easy, seamless, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you Nikki for your time and help!”

“If you’re going back and forth between profiles trying to figure out who to take care of your furry family member, stop right here. Assal and Michael are phenomenal. Our cat has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and in the past we’d have family check in on her. With her new diagnosis, we wanted someone who could help us keep up with her insulin schedule while keeping her in the comfort of our house verse boarding. Assal and Michael have excellent communication, they are beyond kind, sent daily photos of our girl and gave us updates on her whereabouts in our house. 10/10. Any future out of state visit, I know they’ll be my go-to people to take care of Lily.”
“Olivia saved us when we had another pet sitter cancel on us, mid-booking! She was flexible and was ok with me walking her through everything over the phone since we had already left town. She is very responsible and a great communicator, sending us lots of photos and updating us on how our pets were doing. She took excellent care of our pets and home, and we look forward to booking her for more pet care in the future!”
“We have a fraidy cat who hides. Taylor made an effort to get eyes on her everyday and I appreciate that! She sent us photos of two eyes peering out from under the couch- She is very personable and I recommend her completely.”
“Caroline was amazing. She was always on time, took lots of pictures and made comments that made me laugh even on the other side of the world. She kept everything clean and organized, and her bright, wonderful personality, along with her passion for my “Sam“ made this, a really great week for me. Thank you again, Caroline!”
About: Hi there! I have had years of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. Personally, I have had 16 hamsters, 12 exotic fish, 7 turtles, 7 frogs, 5 Guinea pigs, 4 chicks, 4 cats and 1 bunny. I have pet-sat many animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, and I love animals with all my heart. I am very commasionate, hard worker and easy to communicate with. 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)
About: Hi! My name is Gayane, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home with two wonderful rescue cats, and throughout my life I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience fostering, rehabilitating, and helping homeless and abandoned animals find safe and loving homes. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. My own rescue cats are part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection, and consistency they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when their routines are respected and they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are doing well. Having cared for rescue animals and foster pets, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I always take the time to build trust and make sure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

We've trusted Nikki with our cat several times and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of him and sends the most amazing photos and videos, which make being away so much easier. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and feel very lucky to have found her.
Jacqueline took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away, & we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, & genuinely caring, which helped our fur baby feel comfortable & at ease. She provided excellent communication throughout our trip, sending thoughtful updates & photos that gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, which says everything. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, & truly caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jacqueline, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🩷🐾

Emma was a wonderful help caring for our two kitties while we were gone. I was nervous to leave them in the care of someone new, but she was great! She showed up when she said she would and communicated regularly. We loved seeing the photos of our kitties and updates on how they were doing. We will definitely reach out to Emma for future kitty care.

As of July 2026, there are 3,719 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mission Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
