“We had to leave for one day and decided to use Rover for the first time. Cierra stopped by the day before to talk and meet our dogs, and the day we were gone she sent some pictures showing our dogs having a good time in the house. We got home the next day to our dogs and they were both really happy, so I wouldn't hesitate to use Cierra again.”
“Mackenzie is awesome! My cat is a little scaredy cat but she really got her out of her shell within the week she watched her. She was a really great communicator with me everyday and left my house looking just as I left it. 10/10 would work with Mackenzie again :)”
“Kelsy was amazing with the dogs! She took them for lots of walks and I could tell they loved her. She was very communicative, on time, and extra caring. Will definitely be using her again!”
“I cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Silvia. My dog absolutely loves her and she did a wonderful job dog sitting and house sitting while we were away. I highly recommend her.”
“Abbie was beyond amazing! She was extremely professional, responsive and so kind to our dog Buddy. Leaving our dog is never easy, but with Abbie's excellent communication and sending us photos throughout the stay, made us feel at ease. Highly recommend Abbie!”
“Thank you so very much Jen & Scott!!!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous leaving my 16-month-old black lab, Roxie, with people I didn’t know, but this couple completely exceeded every expectation. They treated Roxie like she was their own—taking her everywhere with them, keeping her active, exercised, and happy the entire time we were gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for and included in their daily life. On top of that, they left my home absolutely spotless, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. They are kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Roxie!”
“We are so thankful for Sahba! We just moved to the area and didn’t know anyone we could trust our babies with. He was very attentive and communicative throughout his time with them. They are very particular with differing dietary needs and he handled all of it perfectly. Now we can feel stress free on our weekends away. Thank you Sahba!!”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Carmen is as a pet sitter. We were out of the country for two weeks, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong! But Carmen made what should have been a stressful time so easy. With everything that came up, she took it in stride and was so accommodating. She's kind-hearted, EXCELLENT with the pets, and truly cares. She goes above and beyond for the animals under her care. Upon our return, all of our fur babies were relaxed and the most content I've seen them after we've been away. You would be silly not to book her! I really can't say enough good things about her.”
“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”
“Alla was perfect for my nervous senior pup Kenna . i found her last minute and she was a perfect fit . she followed all directions perfectly and her communication was quick . i will definitely be asking Alla to babysit again”
“Naari is a dog whisperer!! I’ve never left my pups with anyone but family before, and Naari was an incredible first Rover experience for them. My dogs immediately took to her, which made me feel so comfortable. She sent pictures and videos throughout to day to make sure I knew they were happy and healthy, and she did awesome accommodating my 4 month old puppy’s needs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone :)”
“Courtney was wonderful with our dog. She had been spayed the week prior, so we needed someone to watch her. We will definitely use her again. Willow looks forward to going on long walks with Courtney in the near future.”
“Gina was an amazing caregiver to my older diabetic Yorkie and young cat! She took such great care of them and my house. And also sent thoughtful updates and pics. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: There is not one moment in my entire life where I haven't had an animal in my care. Growing up, my family was always the type to pull over and rescue any animal we saw that may be lost or injured while providing care for our animals at home. This practice has really set in stone how I feel animals should be cared for. Living with 6 pets for 10 years, I have learned how to balance attention, manage routines, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or mood. I understand each pet’s unique needs, whether they crave play or quiet companionship. I’m committed to providing your pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own, ensuring they feel safe and cherished while you’re away. I am currently a student and working part-time, but don't let my school and part-time job scare you, I have a very flexible schedule, so just message me and we can get a date and time assorted! I am located in Placentia, CA but am willing to travel 20+ miles to take care of your fur baby! I promise to provide detailed updates on how your pet is doing throughout my day with them! Hope to hear for you soon! I am currently working part-time and going back to school in the Fall of 2026, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furbabies! While I do have pets of my own, I have carefully articulated my schedule to fit into the needs of them, myself, and you! I have three cats currently living with me and two dogs who go back and forth from their grandparents. My cats are kept indoors and outdoors with heavy supervision. I can ensure that your cat will be supervised to ensure their safety. Following a feeding schedule and making sure their litter box is cleaned per use to ensure the health and safety of your pet(s). Also, if they are under any medication, I am more than happy to help.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 4 cats and 2 German Shepherds, and later welcomed a small mixed-breed dog into the family, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also currently around 5 cats and have built a strong bond with each of them—I’m attentive to every pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their humans are away. 🐾💕 🐾 My Schedule & Availability I work part-time as a fitness instructor, which gives me plenty of flexibility and open pockets throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m most available mid-day through early evening, with full availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, overnight stays, and extended care for week-long trips. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some extra company while you’re away, or a full week of care, I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and comfortable in their routine! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. Whether we’re out on a walk or staying at home, I’ll provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾💕
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started watching neighbors’ and family’s dogs and cats when I was just 10 years old. Growing up, dogs in the neighborhood would follow me home from the bus stop… my mom always joked I’d made another new friend. That love for animals has never faded. I have my own dog at home who gets along great with all dogs, and I’m available for daily walks, boarding, house/dog sitting, and cat sitting too. My schedule is flexible since my kids are in school, so I have availability at different times throughout the day and can work around your needs to make sure your pup gets consistent care. I have a comfortable, kid-friendly home where your pet will feel right at home. dogs are welcome on the furniture here! I also love taking dogs on walks and for playtime at the beach for extra exercise, fresh air, and fun in a safe, relaxed environment
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every pet. 🐾 As both a mother and a pet mom, caring for others is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of trust, patience, safety, routines, and attention to detail. Your pet will be cared for like part of my own family with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive to your pup’s needs throughout the day. 🐾 Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention while your pup is boarding with me. I have a cozy, secure space and two small furry friends of my own who are friendly and enjoy the company of other pets. 🐾 I also have young adult kids who are animal lovers, so your little critter will have plenty of extra love, attention, and helping hands during their stay. Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport Coast
This was our first experience using Rover, and Jordan was so wonderful to work with! Our girl, Teddi, unexpectedly needed dental surgery shortly before we traveled from Denver to Newport Beach for my brother’s wedding, and I ended up driving her with me so I could continue caring for her while she healed. It was also Teddi’s first vacation staying in a hotel, and we weren’t sure how she would do in the room without us. Since the hotel had us agree not to leave dogs unattended, we didn’t want to chance it and found ourselves looking for help pretty last minute. Needless to say, we were in a bit of a stressed state with all of this going on, especially during a wedding weekend! Jordan was so communicative, flexible, and helpful in figuring out a plan that worked for us. Teddi stayed with her during our evening events while we were still able to handle her morning care ourselves, and Jordan even brought her back to our hotel after the wedding! We felt completely comfortable with Teddi in her care, including keeping up with her nighttime meds, which really allowed us to relax and actually be present for such a special weekend. It was such a blessing that Jordan was available, and it’s clear she has a heart for dogs. We’re so grateful we found her & will absolutely call her the next time we’re visiting Newport with Teddi!
Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending us numerous photos and videos every day. She also spent a significant amount of time with our cat each day and even watered our plants for us! Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend
Alyssa took wonderful care of my two pups, with periodic updates on their walks, meals and how their day went. Lots of photos too, which put me at ease. She was easy to communicate with, and she set up a meet and greet so the pups could get to know her prior to the sit.
Marketta went above and beyond while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. This is the 2nd time she has watched our pups over night this time being for an extended time. We came home with our dogs being much more relaxed than the first time. We appreciate her patience and traiming to help them with their separation anxiety. I highly recommend her but at the same time dont want to tell you how awesome she is because we want her to be available for our pups who adore her so much! 😉 ☺️💗 We will definitely be booking Marketta again and again! Thank ypu so much 💖

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newport Coast walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newport Coast maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport Coast choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
