About: Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm originally from Colorado and am a student at Chapman University. Back home, I have two Aussie Doodles that I would walk every day. Since my Freshman year of high school, I have taken care of several dogs and cats in my neighborhood. Whether it was routine walks, letting them out if my neighbor had a busy day, watching them overnight, or just giving them some love and playtime, I was always there. I would love to do the same for my new neighbors here in California. While I miss my pets, I can't wait to love yours! I'm currently a student at Chapman University and have a lighter class load this semester, which allows me to devote more time to pet sitting and walking. On Monday, I have a class from 4:00pm-6:50pm; on Tuesday and Thursday, classes from 11:30am-5:15pm; on Wednesday, a class from 1:00pm-3:50pm; and no class on Fridays. As long as I have notice, I can always take care of pets on the weekends as well! I have a car, so I can easily go back and forth from school to take care of your animal and stay with them, not only to let them out and feed them, but also to give them loads of love and playtime. Before entering or staying at a client's home, I discuss personal house rules and boundaries so we are always on the same page. I also provide several photos of the animals while I'm with them, and location updates while walking!
“Tritia took care of our babies when we needed help for 2 nights in our home. Our golden retriever got extremely anxious seeing us leave and once Tritia arrived she made our pets very comfortable quickly. My dog got so anxious he gave himself a brand new heat rash the day we left 😔 . I gave Tritia care instructions which were followed to the T and that heat rash was fully healed upon our return. Communication is great, sending us updates those 2 days we were out of town. We trust Tritia to take care of our little babies again whenever we need (thank you!). 100% recommend.”
“I cant rave enough about Alicia! She’s been amazing. She stayed at our home and spent her days with our little girl while my husband and I were both in work trips. I came home and our pup couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her to look after your pups. We even got beautiful photos of our girl every day. Thank you!!!!!”
“Laura always does the most incredible job taking care of our cats. She keeps us updated, looks after them and the house, and truly loves them. We know we can always trust her!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter! She took care to check on our shy babies throughout the day, communicate with photos and updates, and switch up routines to ensure they were eating. Would book again!”
“Ashley was great!! Everything went super smoothly. Was able to handle our reactive pup on walks super well, and left the house very clean. Definitely plan to continue rebooking her!”
“Mia was great with my dog and three cats. She sent updates often which included photos of everyone looking happy and healthy! Having Mia at my house while I was away gave me peace of mind that everyone was safe and well cared for. My pets have some particulars about feeding and who gets along with who and she was very attentive and responsive to their needs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friends!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid in my neighborhood. Walking, feeding and socializing with dogs for hours or days. Was the primary caretaker for my dog for 3 years until I moved to school. I am currently a student and have many hours at home every day. I have flexible morning hours and have free time in the afternoons and evenings. I am a very patient and empathetic dog owner. I love emotionally connecting with new dogs and always thinking about the best for my new friend.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
About: I genuinely love building bonds with the pets I care for. I treat every animal like they’re my own and give them plenty of affection and attention. I am very reliable, communicative and respectful of owners instructions and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved and understood. I offer pet walking and pet sitting services for both dogs and cats, and I'm committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. While I haven't owned a dog or cat myself, I've had a guinea pig and have experience caring for my friends' pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. In the past I have watched my sisters cats multiple times while she’s been away and friends have asked me to watch or walk their dogs when they are unavailable. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and respect each pet's unique personality and needs. I am currently a full time student in university, but I have free time on certain weekdays which includes Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2:30 or before 11am where I will have plenty of time to do drop in visits. I am completely available on the weekends from Friday to Sunday. When I’m in a clients home I am respectful of their space and make sure to leave everything just the way I found it. I keep pets on their usual schedule, I always spend time giving extra attention and comfort so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I send regular updates and photos so owners know they are in good hands.
“Bianca was great with my dogs Luna and Koa. They have specific needs since one is deaf and the other is new to our family. When I got back from my trip, the dogs were relaxed and happy. She had great communication as well.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!
About: I grew up in a house that always had animals. Dogs, cats, and a stream of injured wildlife my dad brought home to nurse back to health, including a baby deer and a raccoon. We even had gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, and fish. Caring for animals has been part of daily life from the time I was born. I’ve lived with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dogs; as well as energetic breeds like Australian Shepherds, Chows, and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs and strong personalities. Family members with smaller dogs regularly relied on me for care, and for the past ten years I’ve house- and dog-sat for an elderly family friend. I’m attentive, patient, and observant, especially with animals that are nervous, aging, or need a calm presence. As a large, steady person, I’m confident handling big dogs on walks and in new situations, and I’m just as comfortable providing gentle, consistent care for smaller pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my days from home. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and regular check-ins throughout the day. This allows me to be consistent, present, and flexible with visits, walks, or overnight stays, and to give pets real attention rather than rushing through care. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the space they know. I follow their established routine closely with feeding, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and regular attention. I keep the home tidy, watch for behavior changes, and keep owners updated. With my own cats, I manage specialized diets, daily litter and cleaning, social time, and close observation of their health and behavior. I’ve cared for some of them from birth and have also supported pets through illness and end-of-life stages. That experience carries into how I care for every animal: patient, attentive, and respectful of their comfort and needs.
About: I know that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful- that's why my goal is to leave you with a peace of mind knowing I'm treating your pet like a part of my own family, learning their personality and making sure their individual needs are met. I'm available on weekends, and throughout the week in the mornings and evenings. Services I currently offer- 30+ min walks: taking a stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby path to give your pet the exercise they need 30 min drop ins: potty breaks, play time, and activities to keep your puppy happy while you're away House sitting: Making sure your pet feels more comfortable during the night while you're away. This can include weekends, for up to 4 nights, subject to availability. If you need a time that is not on my calendar, message me! There's a chance I may have time slots open! I have a fully fenced yard, with plenty of space for your pet to run around and get some exercise. I can absolutely go to your home and play indoors or outdoors, and making sure they are safe and taken care of.
“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 am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who loves being around animals. Having grown up with two different sets of Shih Tzus, I love learning each animals’ unique personality and bond with them. I have previously cared for both family friends and friends pets and looking to expand! I am confident in my ability to follow instructions and provide attentive care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I am willing to take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am excited to provide reliable and trustworthy services to both pets and their owners. I typically have a flexible work schedule. When I don’t have to travel for work, I am working from home. I have the ability to both provide care at my house as well as travel to yours to help reduce stress on your pets! I have a small fenced in patio for business to be taken care of, as well as access to parks/dog parks within my neighborhood if your pet is comfortable with that. I have a gate to block the stairs (at my house) in case your pet likes to wander, and have the ability to let them roam throughout the house. Whatever your pet is used to, I try to accommodate that!
“We feel so lucky to have found Carey. She house sat for us and took the BEST care of our dog Lily. She sent many, many pictures and videos of our Lily and it made us so happy to see our puppy dog was having such a fun time while we were away. I will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”

Stephanie was great! She stayed at our house with the dogs for a few days and was really attentive and caring. She sent photos while we were away, and it was clear the dogs really liked her. She also took great care of our home, and everything was spotless when we got back. Would definitely have her stay with them again!
Lucy was great with Phoebe and Diesel! She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. Both of them were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would definitely recommend Lucy and would happily have her watch them again!
Taylor was so amazing with my cats! My husband and I were on vacation for a week so we had her house sit. I was concerned the cats may not warm up to her but by the photos she sent and how detailed she was with their care, I knew my pets were in good hands. A very sweet young woman and attentive to everything, I am definitely making her my main sitter for now on!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Last-Minute Lifesaver—Incredible Flexibility and Care! I cannot thank Abigail enough for completely saving the day! Due to a scheduling mistake on my part, I found myself in a desperate situation, needing a house and pet sitter to cover a one-day gap before we returned home. Abigail stepped up at the absolute last minute with zero hesitation. Not only was she willing to take on a short-notice, single-day job, but she also went out of her way to coordinate directly with our outgoing sitter. She arrived early to do a face-to-face handoff, quickly got up to speed on our pets' routines, and took over seamlessly. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and absolute professionalism completely put my mind at ease during a very stressful moment. Our pets were beautifully cared for, and we returned to a safe home and very happy animals. To find someone this trustworthy and accommodating on such short notice is rare, and we are incredibly grateful for her help!
Tritia is just wonderful! She's very warm, friendly, communicative, and clearly a pet lover. My dogs have never been so cared for. She stayed the night with my pups and they were perfectly happy; I don't think they missed me at all. I'll be booking with her in the future!
Katrina was great with Niko! She took really good care of him and kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated. She also made sure to let me know every day that he had taken his medicine. It was really nice knowing he was being well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely book with Katrina again!
Mia was great with my dog and three cats. She sent updates often which included photos of everyone looking happy and healthy! Having Mia at my house while I was away gave me peace of mind that everyone was safe and well cared for. My pets have some particulars about feeding and who gets along with who and she was very attentive and responsive to their needs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friends!
Dana was absolutely AMAZING!! We have a new 19-week old German Shepherd puppy and had to go out of town for a week. We were stressed about leaving her with someone but Dana was so great with both Venus (our puppy) and Cleo (our 11-year old senior cat). She helped alleviate our stress and we knew our babies were being well taken care of. She went above and beyond with our pets and treated them amazing! She fed Venus her special meals, helped maintain training, lots of walks and playtime. She also did amazing at administering our cat her morning and nighttime meds (inhaler + oral injections). She stayed in constant communication with us and sent us lots of adorable pics and videos. We are so thankful to Dana and her family who really treated our pets like their own! We are so happy and thankful to have found Dana and cannot wait to use her again. She is definitely our go-to-sitter from now on! I HIGHLY recommend you use Dana! She is the best!!

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.
<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 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!

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 .

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.
