About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student out for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have open availability 7 days a week. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I am an Animal Behavior student with professional experience in dog daycare, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation. I have hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals, reptiles, and rehabilitating wildlife in both professional and personal settings. Through my education and experience, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and create a safe, calm, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I also work part-time in animal care, so my hours can occasionally vary, but I always do my best to accommodate different schedules and provide dependable, loving care for every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation, so I understand how important patience, supervision, and routine are. I always respect owners’ instructions and work to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

Jessica did drop ins for our little kitten, Mipha, while we were gone for a few days. She took excellent care of her, played and gave her affection. Throughout the whole time we were gone she sent photos and gave helpful updates about how Mipha was during each drop in. She was great! We'll definitely select her again!

About: I've lived with dogs since I was four, and have seriously cared for dogs since I was 12. My first dog lived to a grand age of 18, with loving care and judicious pet care. I currently care for 3 dogs at my home, one of whom is a large breed, and trained her from a stubborn attitude (Anatolian Shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix). My partners and friends all trust me greatly with their pets and rely on me for pet care. I currently work part time, and can work my hours around when you need me. I can stay all day with your dogs and provide necessary attention. I am comfortable with dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I can provide necessary attention, walk, crate, and clean up and clean up after your prts. I can also administer oral medication.

Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!

Reilly checked in on my cat Charlie during my recent vacation. She went the extra mile to make sure Charlie was well taken care of, always spending extra time just to sit and pet her. I could not be more pleased with Reilly and will look forward to scheduling her again for my next vacation.

I can provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I understand that a pet’s home is their sanctuary and remain mindful when caring for them. I ensure your home and your loved one is treated with care and respect.

About: Hi! I’m Gianna and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a family that always had two or three dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Schipperkes, and Chihuahuas, and I’ve also looked after Shepherds, Pit Bull mixes, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m committed to providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. In addition to dogs, I grew up horseback riding and spending countless hours on farms surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and farm dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my greatest passions. I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. When the school year begins, I am still available before school, during lunch breaks (if your home is close enough), as well as after school and in the evenings. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, relaxing together, going on long walks, or visiting dog parks, I always tailor my care to meet each dog’s individual needs and personality. If your pet stays with me, they will have free access to my apartment and are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean and just as you left it. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away.

Spencer exhibits exceptional kindness and compassion. From their initial meeting, Atlas has held a deep admiration for Spencer. He thoughtfully provided treats to enhance her experience and demonstrates remarkable gentleness and care in his interactions. Furthermore, Spencer consistently shares photographs and maintains communication both during and after each visit. I highly encourage potential clients to consider his services, as he is truly outstanding in his role.

We have used Kyle a few times now and he is incredibly kind, easy to communicate with and our cats (one who is very shy) really seem to like him. He asks questions, always shows up and goes out of his way to ensure everything is clear before we go out of town. Would recommend to anyone!

About: Hello! A little bit about me: I’ve helped raise 2 huskies growing up in Connecticut (s/o UConn Huskies 🐾). My fiancé and I adopted Shiloh, a 2 year old mixed terrier breed. We adopted him at 4 months old and know how challenging (and rewarding) it can be to train and raise a puppy. We love going on long walks, playing fetch at the doggy park, and the best of all, cuddling and watching movies together. I have experience taking care and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your fur baby or take them out for a walk. Open availability until further notice. Both my husband and I work from home, so your pet will be supervised and cared for at all times. I have a fenced in backyard for frequent potty breaks if needed. I make sure I keep your pets safety my priority at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Orange on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 3,393 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Orange with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
