“Alison has taken care of my 3 dogs overnight a few times now. They’re a lot and she does great! I come home and my dogs are happy and clearly have been loved while I’m out. She also handles one of my dogs eye medications for which I am very grateful!”
“Myah & Bree stayed in our apartment and watched our 10 month old German Shepherd puppy for 5 days while we were away. It was our pup's first time being away from us, so we were a little nervous about who watched her and how she would do with us leaving. Myah and Bree were amazing and made us feel confident that our pup would be well taken care of while we were away! Consistent communication, photos/videos, dog park adventures, walks, etc - they did it all. Our flight got cancelled last minute and they quickly rearranged their schedules so they could stay one more night. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Lizbeth a cat sitter turned dog walker who loves all things furry. I’ve been a trusted sitter on Meowtel for a while, and I’m now expanding to another app to offer both cat care and dog walking. Caring for animals has become a real passion of mine, and I love giving pets all the attention they deserve. I have hands‑on experience caring for cats of all personalities, and now I’m offering dog walking and drop‑ins as well. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat needs some company, I’m here to help. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and even for overnight care when needed. This allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent walks, attention, and care without any rush. I love having the time to give pets the patience and presence they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine your pet already knows. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping things familiar — their feeding schedule, their favorite spots, and the way they like to play or unwind. I give plenty of attention, gentle company, and calm energy, especially for pets who need extra patience. I also treat your home with the same respect I give your pet. I keep things tidy, double‑check doors and litter boxes, refresh water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
“Travian took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. It was clear they both got a lot of attention and he also left the house spotless. Would definitely ask Travian to housesit again!”

“Casey was so accommodating and sweet! She was super flexible and let us change end times as needed! Thank you so so much for taking such great care of our baby, we’re so very grateful!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs who became much more than pets; they become my best friends and part of my family. They taught me so much about unconditional love, patience and responsibility and the special bond she shared with our furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals in general, getting to know their personalities and understanding their needs and making them feel happy, safe and love will be my priority. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your best friend will be receiving my full attention, patience and genuine care. I’m currently available only the weekends Saturdays and Sundays with full time availability. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a hike, or enjoy a long walk, provide drop in visits of care of your furry friend while you are traveling over the weekends, I’d be happy to help. I will always 100% follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water walks, play time, medication routines and any specific needs or preferences. I’m very strict when it comes to your dogs or cats safety, it will be my priority. For this reason I believe communication is essential I love providing updates, pictures, or calls with the owners so they can enjoy their time away knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Montclair, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets. I'm active, outdoorsy, and experienced with all types of dogs, including helping raise two service dogs for my sister, who has special needs. I also volunteer at St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center. I love keeping pups happy, active, and on track with training goals. I'm flexible, dependable, and easy to work with. Thanks for considering me! I work remotely and can be very flexible! Lots of walks and adventures dependent on weather. I have availability all 7 days of the week. I have a large apartment with plenty of room for playing with toys. If a crate is needed, I have one as well. My apartment is puppy proof after raising my family dog here! I have a ton of supplies for all dog/cat care needs. I am very aware of pet needs and keeping them safe, happy and comfortable.

“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”
“Nedra was great watching or dog over a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates and left our home clean and tidy. We look forward to having her over again in the future!”


About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊
About: I’ve owned a pekingese mixed with pug for 10+ years and a blue nose pit bull for 5+ years. I’ve cared for the dogs of family members in the past and for friends of the family. I find dogs enjoyable to be around, for I have been around them all my life. I am available all day, everyday, so anytime of the day would work. I have a large amount of patience, and I am willing to take longer walks to ensure that my duties have been fulfilled. I take pride in my work and you should expect nothing but the results you expect, if not anything better. Dogs have always been fascinating and fun to me, and making a little extra money taking care of them would be a pleasure for me. I’m currently doing part time freelance work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can do whatever service is needed aside from pets being boarded at my residence unfortunately. I tend to keep a close eye on pets unless instructed otherwise and likely to stay interactive with them to build a relationship. I've done boarding in client's homes as well as for pets with special needs, and I'm always willing to grow and learn to accommodate as many people as possible.

“Manuel did an AWESOME job with my Jasper and I could tell that Jasper enjoyed his time with him when I picked him up. I will definitely use Manuel’s service again in the future.”

About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Jade was a rare find. How lucky were we? We enlisted Jade to watch our 3 year old dog for a week while we traveled. She fed him on time and gave him plenty of exercise and LOTS of love. We came home to a clean home and a happy dog. Couldn't ask for more! Hope to use her many times in the future!”

“shanette gets 5 big stars for her on time and attentive care for my dog. she is also very patient with my young dog who has lots of energy. I would use Shanette anytime she’s available.”

“Sabrina was a reliable sitter who came on time at 6am for the sitting and left after midnight once we reached home. She looked after Beau’s needs well and as requested and she connected well with Beau.”

Kate was absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was responsive, enthusiastic, and conscientious. She clearly enjoyed being with our pets, and sent photos and texts every day. She helped by bringing in mail and packages, and the house was left in perfect condition. I would book her again anytime!

Breanna was outstanding. My husband and I were away in PA for a wedding, and we were completely at ease knowing our dog was in her care. She sent detailed updates with photos and videos. The little things matter when it’s your baby, and Breanna definitely delivers. We will absolutely be using her services again

Sienna was wonderful with our senior dog! Sienna stayed in our home for four days and nights and left it spotless. When we returned our dog was very happy and relaxed. Sienna took good care of her. Sienna was also great about communication and sending photos of our dog. We really appreciate Sienna and we'll definitely ask her to come back again.

I wish Izzi was right next door to us so we can have them over everyday! They were incredible to our boys, who can be a handful for the wrong person but felt so at home with Izzi. A great person and a great sitter. Thank you for keeping Atlas and Henry company and making them feel cared for. Will definitely be booking you again <3

I highly recommend Mallory for watching your pets! We have now used her on three separate occasions and she is absolutely wonderful! She is always punctual, reliable and is very communicative. She keeping us updated every step of the way. Most importantly, she is incredibly sweet and loving with our pets. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are cared for in the comfort of our own home by someone so trustworthy and respectful of our space. We will definitely continue to use her!

Jennifer was wonderful, and we highly recommend her. She stayed in our home for 9 days, taking excellent care of our dog, Luna, as well as our fish, Bluey, and our plants. She communicated daily, often multiple times, sending thoughtful updates and photos that gave us great peace of mind. Seeing Luna happy and well cared for made being away much easier. Jennifer went above and beyond, caring for Luna, maintaining Bluey, watering our plants, and keeping our home in great condition. We returned to a happy dog, thriving plants, a well-cared-for fish, and a spotless house. She is responsible, kind, and attentive, and we would absolutely trust her again.

Jojo was an amazing sitter! We have a 5-year old rescue and started fostering another 5-year old who had been with us for only two weeks, so we were hesitant to reach out to anybody new. Jojo played with them all day, took them out for pup cups, and kept us updated the whole time. We could not be happier and will reach out to Jojo for our future pet sitting needs!

I'm a bit of a hoverparent, so I was really happy with how communicative Jade was the entire time we were away. We got lots of updates on what our little weirdo was doing and how he was responding, complete with pics and videos. He seemed to have had a great time with Jade and we returned home to a totally chill and unbothered doggo.

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orange is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $130 per night. 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 19,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orange. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orange. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
