About: Animals have been huge part of my entire life. I genuinely love caring for all pets and understanding their unique personalities, needs, and individual quirks. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays during daytime hours, making pet care a natural part of my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to providing attentive care. I have experience caring for all dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, ducks, fish, turtles, hamsters, and reptiles, plus AKC Yorkshire Terrier breeding, training, and canine behavior.
About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.
“Novia cared for our 2 cats while we were gone on an international trip. She was incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cared so well for our little fur babies! She sent really detailed notes about all her visits, and left my husband and I confident that our cats were in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m based right in CDM steps from Crystal Cove, and I absolutely love what I do. My days are spent walking the coast, hiking the trails, and giving dogs the kind of attention and care that actually makes a difference. It’s genuinely my favorite part of my day. I’ve had dogs of my own for 15+ years and have experience with a wide range of breeds I can read body language, understand what a dog needs in the moment, and adjust on the fly. I have a special love for working breeds and high-energy dogs who actually want to do something on a walk. I work from home running a wellness business, so your dog gets real time and presence not someone rushing between jobs. Walks with me mean actual coastal adventures: Crystal Cove trails, Little Corona Beach, tide pool paths with ocean views. I’m an early riser, I keep a consistent schedule, and I pay attention to how your dog is feeling that day. My home is calm, clean, and non-toxic that’s just how I live. Good energy, no chaos, and plenty of cozy spots to decompress between adventures. You’ll get photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well. I keep my roster small because I actually want to know your dog their quirks, their favorite spots, what makes them light up. Whether you need a reliable daily walker or someone to love on them while you travel, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 Working from home in my fitness & nutrition business means pets get constant attention and care. It's a daily dose of exercise and joy that complements my healthy lifestyle. Walks, fetch, or just quiet moments, pets make my day and yours brighter! When it comes to pet care, it's all about their turf. I'm a firm believer in maintaining their routine at home, where they're comfy and happy. I seamlessly fit into their schedule, whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time. Rest assured, your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
“Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!”
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve also cared for friends’ cats and am comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or routines. I’m attentive and respectful in clients’ homes and will make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, and companionship while you’re away.
“Camille was so great! She was very communicative and patient with my Cece. I had an issue with my schedule last min and had to move the date, but Camille was quick to respond, very understanding and helpful :) Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hello! Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your furry family member! I am deeply passionate about pets and through Rover I am excited to open my home and heart to your dog. Nothing brightens my day more than the companionship of a happy pup. As a devoted dog owner myself, I truly adore providing the security, boundless affection, and dedicated attention that every pet deserves. I am committed to being as accommodating and flexible as possible to ensure your family receives the absolute best of care. I bring responsibility, open communication and a genuine love for animals. I will ensure your fur baby is treated like a member of my own family! I am flexible on the time of day or night for your pet's day care or overnight needs. I can also arrange for pick-up and drop-off of your pet. Your pet will feel at home here! I follow strict instructions and I am flexible to your pet's needs. I have a block fenced back yard and I also allow small dogs on furniture if you wish.
“Miranda was great with taking care of our 6 year old cat. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of our baby during her visits. She played with her and gave us updates on how much she was eating. Our girl is shy and she warmed up to Miranda very quickly. We felt at ease knowing she was in great care while we were away. Thank you! 😻”
“Nichole was amazing to work with! We used her last year when we came to town, and I was excited to be able to work with her again. My two pups love her! I had peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so well. One of the best things is how well Nicole communicates. I had to make some modifications throughout the week and she was so quick to reply and very flexible. I look forward to working with her again.”
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
“Polina has taken excellent care of my cat, Christof, who has complex medical needs including requiring insulin injections. She is very detail oriented and provides wonderful updates complete with photos/videos every time! Highly recommend!”
“Elli was incredible - SO responsive and responsible!! She took such great care of ShiShi while I was out of town. She was detailed with her questions and made sure that she had everything she needed to look after ShiShi. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!!”
“Alyssa was fantastic with our pups! She’s super easy to communicate with and sent the cutest pictures of our dogs while we were away. She spent time cuddling and bonding with them and we couldn’t be more thankful!”

Nancy was simply wonderful. I am so glad to have found her because she took such good care of my cats and made me feel very comfortable about leaving my cats for a couple of weeks. She was extremely professional, communicative, and I could tell she was great with pets because my very shy cats came out to greet her… so unlike them and a great sign. I would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Nancy!!!
Novia was absolutely amazing! This was my first trip away from my kittens and she was sending me so many cute pictures and videos! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. She will definitely be the sitter I choose whenever I go out of town again. Highly recommend !

Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.
Ziran took such wonderful care of my cat OJ while I was away. I got thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which reassured me a lot. When I came home, OJ was relaxed, well-fed, and his space was clean and tidy. It’s obvious that Ziran truly cares about animals and treats them like their own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,818 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newport Coast. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport Coast. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
