“Katherine was great. She filled a last minute need for us over the holiday weekend. She asked a lot of questions - which was great - to make sure we were on the same page. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: Pleasure to meet you! I go by the name Kay! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent my life caring for variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and snakes. Growing up in a family involved in pet care (dog grooming, pet sitting, and boarding), I learned early on that every animal has its own personality, needs and routine. That experience has given me confidence working with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m passionate about animal health, happiness, and building trust with every pet I meet. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra patience, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time. Bonus: in addition to pet care, I’ve also photographed pets for charitable causes and past non-profit animal shelters. That has taught me more about working patiently with animals and making them comfortable in new situation. Weekends: I am available for dog walks and drop in visits Most Weekdays: Evening after 6pm by request, depending on availability I work hybrid and get every other Friday off. My calendar is up to date to ensure I could fully accept and commit to your pet/family member. When caring for pets in client’s home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly as requested. I will double check all locks, gates, doors, and ensure there is provided fresh water. I will share photos and updates so you have peace of mind of how they are doing. At home, I live in an apartment complex where both my dogs are crate trained and following a structure routine. I ensure a safe and comfortable space for the both of them.

I will treat your dog with lots of love and attention. My school schedule is flexible. I can arrange pet‑sitting and dog‑walking around my classes. I have plenty of free time on weekends to spend quality time with pets. I live in a safe apartment. I will closely supervise pets during play time. I keep dangerous items out of reach and pay close attention to pets’ behavior for their safety.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember!

“Thank you so much Megan for helping with our two cats. We had never left the baby alone and he was quite the terror, but you were super professional and took care of all of their needs regardless.”
About: Hello! I am new to Rover, thank you for giving me a chance! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since the day I was born. I was raised to treat dogs as part of our family because they definitely are. I currently have a yorkie and she is 2 years old. She is my world! She got very sick a year ago and I nursed her back to health. I am currently working part-time. I have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks and play with them at the park, so we can get in as much exercise and play time as possible! I will always keep your dog on the leash. I can take them to dog parks and take them off the leash to let them roam free within a gated area if that is okay with you. If not they would stay on the leash at all times.
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
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including my Boxer, Tigress, and my current Rottweiler/German Shepherd puppy, Mochi. I have experience with puppy training, crate training, potty training, leash walking, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and monitoring pets for signs of illness or discomfort. As a basketball coach, I’m patient, responsible, and comfortable managing routines and different personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or sticking to a specific care routine, I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. I am mostly available after 5 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends. I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, check-ins, and companionship so pets receive consistent care and attention while their owners are away. Safety is always my top priority. My home is puppy-proofed and pet-friendly because I have a puppy of my own. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of supervision. Since I do have my own dog, it is important that any pets staying with me are comfortable around other dogs.

“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Placentia
Maira was great to work with! We met up beforehand to get my pup familiar with her so when the time came for the actual drop-in it was smooth sailing. I also appreciated how thoughtful she was to tuck away a package that she saw I had received at my doorstep while I was away. Would highly recommend for her thoughtfulness and attentive care (: Would book with her again!
Jenn, Thank you so much for checking on Pepper while I was in Louisiana. She had a change in her normal behavior while I was away and you kept me updated and were super responsive and generally just wonderful. I really appreciate the pet report card and the pictures and all of it! Thank you so much
Dhalia was an absolute dream to work with! I was a bit nervous because I had never used a drop in service before but Dhalia’s professionalism and willingness calmed my nerves. I felt safe with her in the AirBnB with all the unexpected dog activity near Biscuit. Biscuit isn’t a cuddler in general and to hear that she felt comfortable enough to hang as such with Dhalia was a testament to how well she was with anxious pets. I LOVED her report card they were so detailed and all the pictures and videos of her wiggly little butt were soooo awesome. If I am ever in the area again with Biscuit I will 💯 will be using her again!
Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!
Desiree is a wonderful dog sitter! She is extremely knowledgable, enthusiastic, and kind. She is an excellent communicator, always letting me know exactly how my puppy did, what commands they practiced, and when she arrives/leaves. I have peace of mind that my puppy is in great hands when I’m nor there. I love that she helps him practice leash-walking and his commands, plays with toys, and even sets up developmentally-appropriate games with him.
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!
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!

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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
