Mel did an excellent job with our boys. She was always on time and I know the dogs appreciated the attention she gave them. She was also very flexible with a few last minute changes that really helped us out. I would gladly have her watch our dogs anytime!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family still regularly trust me to take care and look after their favorite family members. I have only had big dogs but also am requested to care for a friend's corgi when they are away. I have experience in training my own dogs and working with dogs of all sizes and stages of life. I currently work full-time but work a fairly flexible schedule. I am available early mornings to take your favorite family member on a walk, or in the afternoons if your pup prefers. When I first meet you and your pup I always tend to take extensive notes and ask questions as needed. Ensuring your favorite family members' safety is my utmost priority. It is my goal to ensure that your pup is cared for and spoiled always. Each pup is unique and has their own set of needs and I am willing and able to listen and abide by all of them to ensure that they are healthy and safe for many years to come.

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.

Faith took excellent care of Raiken when he needed to be checked on while I was at work for the day. She was a great communicator and paid extra attention to ask about any specific needs for the day. I feel super comfortable leaving my pets in Faith’s care and will definitely have her come again! It’s clear Faith is a huge animal lover and very responsible which is exactly what you want when leaving your animals in someone else’s care. Thank you Faith!

About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 6 years and have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I also worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and following each dog's routine. I treat every pet like family and always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets throughout the week. I can work around classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I communicate regularly with pet parents and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience caring for my own three dogs and working at an animal shelter, I'm comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take the time to build trust with every pet, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love I'd give my own.

About: I have experience with pets since the day I was born. I have been pet sitting for friends, family members and neighbors since I was old enough to bike down the street by myself. I currently have 2 cats and a fluffy dog at home. I moved here to go to college and I would love to get some puppy/kitty love from your pets and I would love to spend time with them!! I am a full time student at Chapman University but I would love to take breaks from studying to go for walks or send time with your pet. I also would enjoy doing my school work in the presence of a furry friend! I am extremely flexible with the time I don’t spend in class. I have been raised to safely care for both dogs and cats (including senior cats) my whole life. I will be attentive and I have a good understanding of how they communicate their needs with humans.

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: Dogs bring a unique sense of love and joy to people's lives, but I understand that with how busy people's lives can be it can be hard to find time to walk your dog. That's why I'm here! After growing up with dogs all around me and taking friend's dogs on walks, I am confident in providing a fun, safe, and stimulating walk for your dog! I am a current college student but I am flexible with working around your schedule. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be able to work mornings and afternoons on the weekends and afternoons and evenings weekdays! As a dog owner I understand the importance of exercise and allowing your dog to have fun in nature in a safe environment. It's my first priority to take care of your dog and ensure our walks are safe! But of course I want your dog to have a fun and unique time.

About: Use this code for $20 off!- DANAP81645 Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my 11 year old son, our Australian Shepherd, Otis, and our two bearded dragons. I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.

I had a last minute request for drop-in kitty feeding - with a complicated entry into the house - Shannan accepted the responsibility and went above expectations, she was exceptionally caring to Bella and had zero issues figuring out how to provide service. I have been a Rover sitter myself for 5 years, I can honestly say now I understand the value of asking for help and receiving peace of mind and the effort a sitter gives to care for pets. I HIGHLY recommend Shannan🌸 she is top notch as a Rover sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Orange on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 12,975 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orange. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Orange stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
