“Berto did a terrific job watching my cat Manny. He is reliable and has a warm demeanor that made Manny comfortable enough to not hide under the bed like he usually does with visitors. That’s an impressive achievement. Berto was communicative and shared great photos and a video of Manny from his visits. I highly recommend Berto for your pet.”

About: I have always been surrounded by animals throughout my entire life. In my house there were always mostly dogs but I also had a cat when I was little. And they are beings so special to our lives that they need us to take care of them with a lot of love and compassion and that is why I would like to be able to help others take care of their most precious babies!! And knowing that I can help in some way comforts my soul. I speak Spanish ! I am available every day at any time. I can accommodate my schedules according to the needs of your babies and thus everyone is satisfied! I live in an apartment and I have two balconies. one open (only covered with a fence) and I have another one that is completely covered (with concrete) so that your babies can play quietly there and even inside the apartment you can play without any problem. I have air conditioning throughout the house so on very hot days they can be cool inside the home and I always have snacks or ice cream for dogs if you allow me I can give them to your pet. I also have several toys so they can play inside the home
“Jenn is an amazing cat sitter who understands cats. My cat likes her immediately. In the past three days, Jenn kept sending us daily updates and photos, which took away our worries . Our home was just as we left it—clean and well-kept—and our cat seemed relaxed and happy upon our return. We highly recommend Jenn to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for a German Shepherd for the past 7 years, which has given me experience with large, energetic dogs and daily routines like walking, feeding, supervision, and exercise. I’m confident handling stronger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I have also met people with cats and love being around cats. Feeding, Reassurance, Playfulness, Walks are all my strong suit. I've been around dogs and cats all my life and would love to meet more! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me time throughout the week to care for pets, walks, drop ins, and playtime. I’m active, reliable, and able to give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable in my care. I have experience handling dogs through owning a German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of supervision, consistency, and exercise. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Ashley is a dream come true. She is attentive to details, kind, helpful, and amazing with communication! Our kitties loved her and she sent helpful daily updates. She asked what toys they like, got to know their unique behavior, and juggled their probiotics/fiber regimen with ease. Ashley was also flexible and was available to extend the booking when we ended up having to prolong our trip. Although we had to leave town for a family member's medical emergency, Ashley's kindness and fantastic communication meant less stress for us because we did not have to worry at all about our pets. Will 100% rebook Ashley the next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Denise was so great with our dog Lily when we hired her for two last minute drop-ins. She was prompt and very communicative and sent us plenty of photos. We would definitely have her drop in on or walk Lily again!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Lyndsay, and I’ve been working with animals for over 20 years. I grew up on a three-acre ranch surrounded by just about every animal you can imagine—dogs, cats, horses, turtles, fish, a rabbit, a guinea pig, a rat, and even a frog. My lifelong passion for animals began early, and at just 15 years old I landed my first job at a petting zoo. That experience led me to Petsmart, where I worked for over three years as a Petcare Specialist and Groomer, caring for pets, administering medications, and grooming canine clients. After college, I continued my journey in animal husbandry by volunteering with several dog rescues, the Marine Mammal Center, and the Santa Ana Zoo. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—from rodents and reptiles to everything in between—gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of species and needs. While my life is a bit more structured these days as I run my own fully work-from-home business, animals remain a central part of my world. I’m an active member of the local dog community, belong to several dog social clubs, and help foster rescues whenever possible. I’ve also opened my home to many rescue animals of my own, including baby birds, opossums, and dogs with complex health conditions, and I’m well-versed in managing diverse medical and dietary needs. Doggy Day Care is: Monday - Thursday from 7:30am - 6:30pm. **After hours may acquire an additional $20 charge.** Fridays and overnight care may be approved separately for repeat customers. All dogs will remain within my oversight throughout the day while they are interacting with each other. I am well trained in dog behavior and body language. I separate all dogs into their own space when it's time for feedings, and during "nap time", giving all our guests time to decompress throughout the day. Bowls, bedding and flooring will be washed nightly to prevent germs from spreading. In the off chance that I need to leave the house for a few minutes, I will secure all dogs in their own crates, turn on soothing music, and watch them from my security cameras. Rest assured that your dogs will be in a comfortable and safe environment.
“We went on a trip for a few days and Karyn helped us care for our 5-year old cat, Luna. Karyn is compassionate and loving, who takes great care of Luna. Karyn communicates well and is very responsive. We are 100% satisfied and we would recommend her service to friends.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home full time and has over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets. From basic puppy training and long walks to senior care and medication management, I’ve done it all and loved every minute of it! Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, a calm companion, or just someone to love them like you do, I’m here to help. I’ve worked with all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I pride myself on treating every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, communicative, and passionate about providing the kind of care that puts both pets and their humans at ease. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work from home full time! This allows me to be with your pet around the clock. I’m also able to take my work with me if drop in visits are needed. My schedule, especially in the afternoons is flexible which allows time for long walks. I have a very sweet and friendly Boston terrier of my own who is always looking to make new best friends! I do live in an apartment, but I am on the first floor with a patio. My complex also has a dog park and is very pet friendly. My daily routine already includes multiple walks spread throughout my work day for my pup and even a trip or two to the dog park. In the evenings we do take a short drive to a local park and walk a few miles when the weather cools off. My dog is crate trained for night time so she can be separated from your pet if needed. My home is your pets home, whatever the need is, I can do my best to accommodate to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“My Frenchie met Lizz and her little girl during the meet and greet visit, and it was love at first sight for him. Lizz’s little ones are so well-behaved and gentle that I had no worries if and when she needed to bring them along with her. Her communications were through, the pictures were adorable, and I was impressed and grateful to realize that she occasionally spends more time with my dog than listed—she just seems to love and enjoy animals so much! I highly recommend booking this knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy person for the little fur- (or feather- or scaly-) person in your life. You won’t be disappointed!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong cat owner with two sweet kitties of my own (and childhood cats who lived to 24 and 26!). I’ve been caring for friends and family’s cats and dogs for the past three years, including senior cats, anxious pets, highenergy dogs, and breeds like German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Chihuahuas. I offer dog walking, check ins, feedings, litter box cleaning, and lots of playtime and love. I have experience with senior cat care and always aim to bring a calm, reassuring energy to every visit. I’m great at communicating and make sure owners feel fully updated and at ease while they’re away. Your pets are in kind, capable hands with me…I care for them like they’re my own! With my mostly online school schedule and only occasional in person classes, I have plenty of flexible time to dedicate over 20 hours a week to caring for pets. I’m available for visits throughout the day: morning, afternoon, or evening and happy to work with whatever schedule fits you and your furry friends best. I treat your home with the same care and respect as my own. Whether it’s cleaning litter boxes, tidying up after playtime, or following your specific instructions, I make sure everything stays clean, organized, and secure while you’re away. I understand how important your home and your pets comfort are, so I’m always careful, reliable, and mindful during every visit.

Jenn provided amazing drop in care for our dogs!!! She was flexible with the meet and greet, even with last minute scheduling. She was so sweet with the dogs. She gave updates on how they were doing and sent cute pics! I would book with her again. Thank you Jenn
Mirae is the cat whisperer! My kitties are so shy that they hide from everybody. The minute someone comes to the door they are just streaks diving under the bed. But they let Mirae pet them and even asked for attention. Mirae was faithful to the times I requested and sent pictures so I could see how good the kitties were.doing. I will definitely be using Mirae’s services again!
Michelle was amazing with our sweet Dixie (4 month old golden retriever puppy)! After our first phone call with her, we knew Dixie would be in excellent hands. Michelle was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking her again the next time we are in town; we couldn’t have dreamed of a better pet sitter.
Yermin did a great job with my kitty and dog. She had no problem "job sharing" with a friend of mine, who came by twice a day to walk the pup and Yermin came by each evening to make sure kitty and pup were fed and got him out for his last pee of the day before bed. She was very responsive when contacted and she was always in communication. Also sent lots of photos, which I love!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my puppy received! Anne was a great sitter. Even during a short visit, she made sure my puppy was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Latte!
Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.
Danyella was simply amazing! She took extra special care of our baby girl pup. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our doggy was in good hands and being loved. Danyella was great at communicating and keeping us updated Very responsible, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We will definitely use her again.
Chandler took excellent care of our senior cat Chonky. She was very attentive to Chonky's needs. She gave him amply play time, brushed him and pet him. She also took care of feeding, giving him water top ups, taking out the trash, cleaning the dishes and litter boxes. She also vacuumed the tracked litter off the floor. We definitely recommend Chandler for your cat care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Placentia on Rover is $26.75 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 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 July 2026, there are 18,394 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Placentia. 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 Placentia 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Placentia. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 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.
