“Shhelby recently watched my dog when I was out of the country and did an amazing job. My dog was having tummy issues and Shhelby handled it so well, was very conscientious, and sent me thorough and frequent updates. She left my place cleaner than she found it and most importantly I could tell she really cared about my dog. Strongly recommend her.”
“Nate was an amazing dog sitter for our girls! He communicated throughout and sent lots of photos. They seemed really content when we came back. We will for sure ask Nate to watch our pups again in the future.”
“Katrina has been so wonderful to us. Ben loves having her company & we love the peace of mind of having her home with him when we're away. As usual, she's very reliable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and we'll continue to use her services.”
About: I have had pets since I was born so I have always loved having animals around. I am a very reliable person who cares about taking care of pets. I am a college student and would love to help out with pets as I have plenty of time to check on them and give them attention between my classes or on the weekends! I am good at following instructions and will do whatever is expected to make your pets comfortable. I will always make sure to ensure their safety.
“Jordan was so unbelievably amazing with our 7 year old golden retriever. She was communicative, kind, caring, and such a wonderful person! Jordan treated our dog like her own. Thank you Jordan!”
About: Since I was young, roughly 7 I worked with all different types of animals and breeds. The smallest I've worked with is snakes all the way to the biggest being Buffalo. So I'm pretty confident when it comes to dogs and cats. I have dog training under my belt, giving medications; I do not give injections however, I simply think it's too much of a risk. I also have senior care, so I'll take extra care to minimize any work the older animals will have to put in for anything when I'm with them. Throughout the week my schedule is open for a decent amount of it, so it helps In making my rover schedule pretty open and flexible for clients. For safety reasons I will never bring my personal dog, but for clients; I'll always make sure to follow every direction and precaution they have left me for their animals. Then of course take standard safety etiquette for when walking or exercising a clients animal.
“Ana is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter!!! The best ever! I can't say enough nice things about her. She Sent pictures of him and communicated with me on a daily basis, while on a 12 day cruise! She gave him a bath, medication, and hand fed him when he was reluctant To eat. She left my house sparkling - totally clean & my Yorkie looking super healthy and cute! She was an angel - took care of my little dog like he was her own. I know he was sad to see her leave - but we will Always call her in the future! Thank you Ana!!!🌺❤️ You are truly an amazing person!!”
“Alicia was highly recommended from a friend and we were happy to find she had availability when we needed help! Alicia is wonderful with our 2 labs. This is her second time with them and it means so much to know we are leaving our babies in trusted hands. We love the multi-daily pics and updates. Thank you Alicia!”
“Thank you Shannan for taking such good care of my fur babies while I was out of town.. Shannan is a very friendly sweet care giver, I felt so comfortable leaving her in my home with my babies. We will definitely have you back for our next trip🐶🤗”
About: I’ve adored cats since I was little and took care of my sweet cat for 18.5 years, so I have experience with taking care of kittens all the way to super seniors and understand the importance of administering medications as needed. I’ve kitten and cat sat for my friends throughout the years, and I’m the girl who always wants to stop and see the cat every time I pass by one. I look forward to welcoming your kitty and providing the utmost care they deserve! I work from home full-time and available weekends, so I am able to give your pets food, medication, walks, play time, and lots of attention. I currently have one cat who likes to keep to herself and is very clean. I have a cat tree, scratching post, and would let them roam around freely indoors only.
About: I've had dogs, cats and other pets since I've been born. I'm very well versed in paying attention to animal behaviors and needs, and can accommodate most requests safely and enthusiastically. I love taking care of animals whether it's my own, family, friends, or yours. I work full time in the middle of the day, but am available before and after work, and for periodic check ins. When I'm sitting for someone, the pet care is my priority. I keep a detailed list of what the pet needs, and pay attention throughout the time to how they're feeling. I make sure they are comfortable and have all their needs taken care of, and ask the owner for more clarification if necessary.
“Katerina was amazing. She kept the house clean, and our dogs were always entertained. She walked them for 45 minutes twice a day and sent us photos of Lory and Rosie every day. Definitely my go-to sitter!”
“Joey was an amazing sitter for Daisy. She arrived on time, took time to meet our dog and sent us many updates with photos throughout the day. She is very nice and I would definitely hire her again. You should too!”

About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any dog of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give your pets! Currently we have a couple cats who are both very friendly, but have their own space away from other animals. I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your pet deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet pet. I will do my very best to adhere to your pets schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.
“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Its never easy having to leave a pet home for a trip you can't take the pet on. We recently had to do this to travel across the country and looked for help with taking care of our cat at home, where she is most comfortable. Bianca was absolutely wonderful about taking care of our cat, letting her get acquainted at her own pace. Within a couple of days, our cat was snuggling to Bianca like she'd known her for years ! Bianca stayed over at our place to take care of Nutella and she took great care of the home, ensuring the trash was taken out before she left. She left the place very clean and our cat was a happy camper for the duration. I would definitely request Bianca's help again, should the occasion arise.”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! When we first booked she and Rich came to do a home visit and meet our dogs, Lizzie and Phoebe. This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and we were nervous at first, but Chelsea and Rich were the best! After meeting them we knew Lizzie and Phoebe are in great hands. Chelsea sent daily photos/videos of Lizzie and Phoebe. Chelsea had a departure checklist where she informed us of everything she cleaned/took care of. She even refreshed the flowers we had in our vase! She also cleaned the dog food bowl and water bowl, which was so thoughtful. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further. Chelsea and Richard are the sitters you can trust!”

She was great- she came to meet Rocky, coordinated with me on first and last day so Rocky wasn’t alone for long and kept me updated on how he was doing. I was nervous to have someone I didn’t know watch Rocky and she made me feel so much better with her communication and pictures. Rocky even slept in the guest room probably because he missed her!
5 Paws!!!!! (stars;) If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the moment we left, we knew our three dogs and our home were in the very best hands. They sent frequent updates and adorable pictures that made us smile and gave us complete peace of mind. They were always quick to respond, incredibly thoughtful, and treated our dogs like they were their own. It was obvious how much love, attention, and care they gave them. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. That says everything. Finding people you trust enough to stay in your home and care for your pets is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found them. We truly hope they'll be available every time for us because we wouldn't hesitate for a second to invite them back. We recommend them with complete confidence to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters. Thank you for taking such incredible care of our home and our furry family!
Ashley was wonderful in taking care of my 2 mini dachshunds. She communicated frequently with texts and photos of my dogs and was very respectful in my home. My request was super short notice too with only 3 hours before I had to leave town. She saved me in a pinch and I would love to have her back!! Thank you again :)
This was my first time Katrina to take care of my rescue. Marley is a special case and can be very skittish around new people. Marley opened right up to Katrina which just shows how great a job she did. I would absolutely recommend Katrina for anyone and will be reaching out to her for my next booking.
Alicia was highly recommended from a friend and we were happy to find she had availability when we needed help! Alicia is wonderful with our 2 labs. This is her second time with them and it means so much to know we are leaving our babies in trusted hands. We love the multi-daily pics and updates. Thank you Alicia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orange on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,883 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orange. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Orange 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 Orange 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.
Tip: 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 Orange 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 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.

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.
