“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.”
“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.”
“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”
“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: 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!”
“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!!”
“Dahlia is hands down the best pet sitter we've ever had. She house sat for our two dogs for a week and spoiled them rotten with walks, attention, and cuddles. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and judging by the pictures, our dogs barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond by helping with a few household tasks we forgot about before our trip, and we came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. Our younger dog, Lucy, can be a handful at times, but Dahlia handled everything with patience and care. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She is officially our go-to sitter.”
“Lauren, did a great job caring for our puppy Gunner, old grumpy dog Jack and our house while we were away. Both dogs being at very different life stages required specific needs and she cared for each wonderfully. She communicated regularly with photos and messages and left our dogs tired and happy and our house spotless. Definitely recommend Lauren to house/and or dog sit!”
“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🐶🤗”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of my own dog since 2016 and have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have several dogs in my family and have regularly dog-sat for friends and relatives since I was a kid. While I don’t currently have time to commit to a full-time dog of my own due to school, I truly enjoy being able to care for and spend time with pets through sitting and walking. I love all animals and am passionate about providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am currently a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability when caring for pets. I provide pet care primarily from Friday through Monday, making me a great option for weekend and extended stays. As a pharmacy student, I spend a lot of time studying at home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and am happy to tailor walks, playtime, and activity levels based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or the owner’s home. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of both pets and their homes. As a pharmacy student, I am detail-oriented and comfortable following care instructions to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for at all times.
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.
“Laura has been our sitter for several years now, and we’re so grateful for her! She takes wonderful care of our cats, and keeps us updated the whole time. We’d be lost without her!”
“We could not be happier with our dog sitter! She has such a calm, caring energy, and our little 11-month-old pup absolutely adores her. From the moment they met, we could tell he felt comfortable and safe with her. She goes above and beyond by making sure he is well-fed, gets plenty of playtime, multiple walks each day, and lots of love and attention. It's clear she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and treats them like her own. As pet parents, it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our puppy is in such great hands while we're away. We have been so impressed that we've already booked her for two more upcoming trips. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Chelsea is so sweet! She’s great with our dogs! So affectionate with them. Her communication skills are excellent which is so important in any business! She has a keen awareness with dogs. We feel thankful we found her!”
“Alicia did an awesome job - she sent several wonderful pictures (she's a great photographer!) throughout the stay to let us know how our girl was doing. Great with communication. I was very pleased with her as a sitter and will be using her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Orange is CA$63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orange
We were hesitant to use Rover at first. Our hope was to find someone we could trust not only in our home, but with our precious Lola. Ashley was great! She stayed at our house so that Lola would be more comfortable while we were gone. She gave her just as much love & care that we do. She sent updates & pictures constantly. Lola was sad to see her go, but will be happy to see her again. Highly recommend. We will for sure book again either Ashley.
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!
Jacquelyn was so great with our nervous little guy, Tommy. He usually has separation anxiety when I leave him but he did better than usual with her. We are so grateful that my husband and I got to spend time in Disneyland thanks to her and calm, loving demeanor which kept our dog calm! We appreciated the cute photos she sent of him while we were in the park, it made us feel better knowing he was well taken care of! Thank you so much!
Allessandra was awesome! She came in clutch for me last minute and was amazing with the house and dogs. She sent pictures, updates, and was super communicative. She followed directions perfectly and left the house clean, which is the best to come home to. Would definitely rebook again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Orange
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.
