“Shirley was careful, diligent and kind she took this care taking responsibility seriously and was very good with our cat. She gave us good status updates on how her behavior and mood was her poo status and how much or how little she was eating. Thanks Shirley.”

About: I've loved animals my entire life and have been surrounded by pets since I was a child. My experience includes volunteering at Furry Friends, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, compassion, and meeting each pet's individual needs. I've also provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors, including watching my neighbor's pets while they were away on summer vacations, caring for my sister's dog, and looking after my own two cats. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and enjoy building trust with both pets and their families. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to care for your furry family members. As long as I have a little advance notice, I'm happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and reliable care they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in or extended care, I'm committed to being there when you need me most! I love making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away! I stick to their normal routine by making sure they're fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), cuddles, and all the attention they want while always respecting their unique personalities and boundaries. I keep their space clean, make sure they're comfortable, and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring hands!

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve attended dog grooming school and have professional experience in the grooming industry, along with years of dog sitting and caring for pets for families.

I am currently available for dog walking Sunday through Wednesday Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! With years of experience working with animals, including professional dog grooming and pet sitting, I understand how important it is to provide a safe and loving environment.

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.

“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”

“Having a stranger come over to feed our dogs and let them into the backyard was a slightly scary idea… but then I found Nathalia! Her communication was prompt, warm, and professional, and when she came over for the Meet and Greet, I knew that our dogs would be in great hands. Winnie and Hunter (our pups) instantly took to Nathalia, and she was so kind and patient with them. Later that day, Nathalia came to feed them and let them out, and she sent over a fun and detailed report of her visit with them. I’m so glad we found her, and I’d definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 years old, I give them all the love and care possible, my family and friends can attest to this, I also work with children so I am very careful. Our home is extremely pet friendly! We love entertaining our furry guests so there will be a lot of playing involved! It is not easy to trust just anyone with your loved one and as such you will be provided constant updates via text, email messages, photos and videos. I work full time but my wife is home always and has plenty of time to offer play time, long walks and ton of cuddles for your fur baby! I have a large yard and plenty of room in the house specially designed to play and take care of your fur baby to make them feel right at home!

About: I've always had animals in my life. I would care for cats and dogs while neighbors were away growing up. I've helped my friends and family while they're out of town. I've trained all my dogs growing up and taught them to walk respectfully on leash. I have also been a vet tech for 3 years and know how to care for animals beyond simple feeding and walking. My passion for animals has always driven me. I've helped treat very sick animals in the vet field. I know certain signs to look out for to ensure the pet is fully safe and happy and healthy. I take the comfort of all animals very seriously. I have experience with bathing, feeding, walking, and medicating animals per Doctor orders. Some special medical treatment such as administering topical, oral, and SubQ medications. I love that I am able to take this on as a full-time career. My schedule is 7am-4pm Monday through Friday. I have another job for the weekend hours. I am very respectful of my surroundings and other people's possessions. I make sure your pet is comfortable with me. I can place on a harness and remove if you don't like your pet sitting home with a harness on all day. I can crate your pup if you find it necessary as I leave. I can play music or leave a TV show on for your pet if you wish. I am here to serve you and your pets. I am currently doing walks full time so I'm happy and thankful to say I'm keeping busy helping make more pets happy throughout the day. My current available time slots are 10am and 10:30am. Thank you for your time and consideration. I can crate your pet if you find necessary. We can spend a few minutes after a walk with yard or indoor playtime if you like.

About: Dogs tend to show a lot of love too me even if I don’t know them. I just connect with dogs in a way I think people usually don’t. I’m currently working at a basketball camp from 8am-12am until the week of August 4th. I am generally free from 1-6 depending on the day. I treat pets like I would treat mine. Make sure they get enough food, walk them, and especially entertain them so they are not bored.

Mark took care of Chumpy for over a week while we were away, and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly patient and caring with Chumpy and went above and beyond, even cleaning up after his not-so-little messes 🫣. Knowing Chumpy was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. Thank you so much, Mark, for taking such great care of our old man! We truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and the care you showed Chumpy. We would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet!

Kayla is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats our dog like her own, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Orange

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Orange is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $48 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 October 2026, there are 26,244 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
