About: I have cared for pets of all kinds since I was 16, and we also have had a sweet baby 🐕 of our own for the last 8 years. When I lived near friends that all had dogs, I was always the go-to pet sitter. Our girl would love to have a playmate for a few days and I look forward to being able to dote on your dog with lots of walks and outside adventures, if they like! My schedule can be highly variable, but I work from home a lot of the time. I can provide a lot of undivided and individualized attention to your dog, with regular outside time and walks. We have a small fenced backyard and a decent-sized lawn out front. There is a large park nearby and we love going for walks in the neighborhood. We have 1 very sweet and shy 30-lb dog that loves to play (and especially loves puppies).

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

About: I have two cats of my own currently and I had a husky growing up! I’d watch family and friend’s pets if needed and I’ve sheltered a few dogs because somehow they always find me!

I’m available after 12:00pm Mondays-Fridays, except for Wednesdays, I’m available after 5:00pm. I am also available all day Saturdays and after 3:00pm Sundays! I cannot offer to take your fur babies to my home due to living on campus, but I am always open to coming to your home! I will make sure your baby is cared for and that your home will be respected!!

She maintained their bowls and boxes wonderfully, and played with them a lot. The cats did great while we were gone, and we were so happy with how happy they seemed.”

About: Hi, I’m Talia! I’m a huge animal lover with lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve fostered both dogs and cats and have experience with behaviorally complex and reactive dogs, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m especially patient and attentive with shy, anxious, or sensitive pets and love taking the time to earn their trust. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, a drop-in visit, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I'm currently a part time student at Chapman, so I have a flexible schedule and I'm looking to fill time (doing something I love 🐾) between classes, working on my thesis, and caring for my own dog! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication when caring for pets. I have a secure fenced yard and can provide a calm, supervised environment, with the ability to crate dogs if needed. I’m also experienced with reactive and behaviorally complex dogs and understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, boundaries, and individual needs. For drop-ins and walks, I’m careful to keep pets secure and closely supervised in their own home and neighborhood.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day. Although I'm new to offering pet care professionally, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.

About: For the past fifteen years I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve been available to family and friends to walk, feed, and house their pets while they travel. I work full time, but I’m home in the evenings and weekends which leaves plenty of time for play time and long walks with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with a locked gate and two friendly cats who get along well with dogs. If needed, I can crate your dog and keep the cats in a separate room.

About: From small, shy cats to big, boisterous dawgs, I provide detail-oriented, specialized care by applying my former experience as a data scientist and my boundless stamina gained from my hobbies in various martial arts and combat sports. I have experiences working in both dog-specific and cat-specific boarding facilities. I have also administered care to cats including oral(pill, syringe) and ear medication as well as inhalers. I've have a love for dogs since childhood and learned to love cats as well, through helping an extra spicy cat grow into a cuddly, purr-filled one. I'm available for Drop-in Visits on Saturday from 9am-11pm. Wednesday availability is 9am-5pm. Friday availability is 1pm-11pm. Please reach out for any questions! The safety of your pet is my priority! Awareness and avoidance(as needed) of other people or dogs on walks, clearing and watching out for certain foods, plants, materials etc. that are unsafe for consumption, double and triple checking locks and that doors are properly closed, especially on entry and exit. My first mission with your pet will be to ensure safety and build trust so that they know that I am their temporary caregiver and permanent friend!

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.

About: American Red Cross–certified in Pet First Aid. NAVC Pet Nutrition Coach Certified. Dedicated to protecting and caring for animals for a lifetime, with love and dedication. Pet care is my full-time job, so my daily routine revolves around the dogs! I’m home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervise playtime, and keep up with meals, potty breaks, and any medications. We enjoy time in my spacious, fenced backyard, with plenty of breaks for naps and cuddles. I adjust to each dog’s usual routine and send regular photos and videos so you can see how they’re settling in. 🐾 Your dog will have plenty of room to play and relax on our 10,000-square-foot property! We enjoy supervised games of fetch in the backyard, along with quiet time and plenty of affection indoors. I’m home all day, and there are no children or cats in our household. I introduce dogs gradually, supervise their interactions, and separate them during meals. I follow each dog’s feeding and sleeping routines to help them feel at home, and I share regular photos and updates so you can stay connected. I’m also certified in pet nutrition and pet first aid. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and individual needs are always my priority. 🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Orange

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orange is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 12,857 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orange. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orange. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
