“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!”
“Ashley took care of my cat Callie while I visited my family out of state for a few days. She followed my instructions and paid attention to all the details I asked of her. Ashley was prompt and posted pictures of Callie each and every visit. Was so nice to feel comfortable while I was away that she was well taken care of. Ashley was by far the best sitter I have ever had for Callie.”
About: I have a lot of experience watching all types of animals all ages and sizes and will treat every single animal like they are my own animal! I currently only have classes on mondays for half of the day and the rest of the time i am free to care and watch your animals! I will treat your home and animals with the same respect i would at my own house with my own animals because i know it can be nerve racking to have someone new in your house with your babies
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and have 2+ years experience petsitting dogs with special needs. I'm the mom of two whites tree frogs, so I'm also well versed with reptiles and other exotic pets! I'm comfortable with all sorts of critters, not just fur-babies! Reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and arachnids are all included and well loved in my care. I work part time, usually nights, and take classes during the week day. Friday-Sunday I am almost always free full time to watch your pet. If care is needed weekday, depending on how much time is required, I can visit before, after, and between classes to feed, check in, and let out for the bathroom. I'm well experienced with feeding schedules, administering medication, potty breaks/cleaning litter boxes, and keeping spaces clean and tidy! I strive to leave homes I visit better than I found it. I'm also known for taking lots of silly pictures of your pet to send alongside daily updates.
“Cinnamon is always in good hands with Michelle! Love the consistent pictures and updates 🩷 and Michelle always leaves the house cleaner than I left it. One of our top sitters 🙏🏻 Thanks Michelle!!!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, a Boxer when I was little! So big dogs don't scare me. I also have experience with cats. I have one super sweet kitty back at home and one... not so much. I get how to handle all kinds of personalities! I'm good with puppies, teaching them the basics, and I'm really patient with older pets. I'll make sure your fur baby is happy and gets all the love while you're gone! So give me a text or call. Pet care totally fits into my daily and weekly routine! I'm used to the whole feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime routine with my cats. I'm super responsible about it. And growing up with a dog, I'm used to the whole walking, feeding, and poop-scooping thing as well! I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I'll make sure to stick to their regular schedule and give them lots of attention. When I'm caring for pets in my home I make sure they have a safe and comfy space set up just for them! I know my cats like little beds so I always make sure they each have their own or more. I'll keep them on their regular feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I'll follow all your instructions super carefully. I'll make sure to keep everything clean and tidy, and I'll send you updates and pics so you know your fur baby is doing great! (Not available anymore since I am in a dorm)
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.
About: I have been caring my 5 dogs with love and commitment back home. Maybe that is my edge, having newly migrated here i guess I can provide personalized dog care, a bond forged through love and experience. Pet care is an integral part of my daily schedule. We allocate specific times for feeding, exercise, play, and affection, ensuring pets' well-being my priority. In our home, we provide a safe, comfortable environment. At clients' homes, we follow their routines, ensuring exercise, play, feeding, and affection are prioritized and given
“Anne did a fantastic job dropping in to care for Presley, and we couldn’t be more thankful and happy to have connected with her through Rover!! She did everything and more to make sure our needs for Presley’s were met. The reports she left on him were detailed & helpful for us to be informed of everything that went on with Presley at each visit. We would definitely recommend her over and over!! Thank you Anne, for keeping Presley safe & secure, for doing all you can to get him to eat, and for being so mindful to do all that we asked. We couldn’t be more satisfied!!”
About: For majority of my life, I have been a dog and cat owner. I have helped take care of friend’s pets while they were away. I am currently working a hybrid flexible schedule. I enjoy taking leisurely walks and/or putting in the miles and play for our high energy pups. I have a fenced yard, 2 male cats and a 3 year old child. I currently do not have a crate for a medium/large dog.
“Thanks so much! I first booked Ally to help with my beloved dog Gracie, who was ill and on a lot of medications and needed some speciaized attention while my father took care of the other animals in the house. She came for a meet and greet to learn the layout of the house and meet the pack and see my complex feeding instructions. Unfortunately, my Gracie passed only a few days before my trip. 😭 Ally was willing to work with my ever changing needs with ease. She was super kind and ended up still coming twice during my trip to scoop the litter boxes and clean the dog bowls etc. She sent photos and an update, telling me how everyone was doing. It really helped ease my mind to have someone checking in while I was gone. Thanks again!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with booking Zoe to care for my golden retriever puppy, Arthur. Zoe was responsive and available even last minute, sent lots of updates and photos on his report card and I truly felt like he was in the best care. Will definitely be booking Zoe for future visits!”
About: I have a dog of my own, and I’ve taken care of many people’s dogs over the years. From puppies to older dogs, and dogs with medical needs. I’ll make sure that your fur babies are well cared for! I’m finishing up college, my classes take place in the morning and are relatively short. The rest of my classes are online. So my schedule is pretty much open anytime. I’m big on pet safety and will follow in instructions given to help care for your pet. I’m not currently doing boarding for cats or dogs.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats and more, including two years at an animal clinic where I administered medications, handled feeding, cleaning, and made sure pets felt safe and comfortable. I’ve also worked as a dog pack walker, managed group walks, and provided pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I understand animal behavior and take a calm, attentive approach—caring for pets isn’t just what I do, it’s my passion, and I treat every animal like my own. I am working full time, but available in the evenings or for walks and on the weekends I can do check ins and walks! I’m more than happy to take your baby on a short or a looong walk. In your home, I provide respectful, compassionate care while honoring your space and privacy. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free, and I treat your home with the same care and professionalism as I do your pets. I’m clean, reliable, and attentive, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was very young. I grew up with six dogs, three cats, and one fish, my home was never empty! I now currently have one dog, and would love to help yours get some exercise and fresh air while you're busy! I am a full-time student as well as a part time worker. My availability is open during the morning and mid-day, and I am able to be flexible! I work best with specific instructions, and communication is very important to me. Each dog is unique and has different needs. Let me know what your dog needs and I will make sure to acommodate!
“Grace is an excellent, reliable pet-sitter. She followed my directions to a "t"! My 3 Bengals reported that she fed them their favorite food, loved them perfectly, thoroughly cleaned their litter boxes, and ensured that they got their play time! My kitties and I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a living, dependable pet-sitter.”
About: Every time I visit my friends I spend (at least) 10 minutes catching up with their pets. As an owner of multiple dogs, I understand the patience, firmness and delicacy that goes into caring for a pet. Your children will be in responsible hands! I work Monday nights & Saturday/Sunday mornings. The remainder of my time will be dedicated strictly to nurturing your pets! I will walk them every morning and night and make sure they feel loved while they’re parents are away! I will walk the dogs at least twice a day (morning & after dinner) to make sure they’re staying active and cared for. I will feed then as necessary and spend tons of quality time with them!

Yerim was amazing with our cat while we were on vacation. She was so thoughtful and caring with our shy cat! You can tell she really loves animals! Our cat is shy but by the end of the trip he was greeting Yerim at the door purring! She is also great at communicating and responds very quickly. We loved all the photos and videos she sent of our kitty while we were gone! We knew he was in great hands while we were away. I would 100% book her again!
Amber is amazing. She was very attentive during the meet and greet and paid close attention to all the extra details when it comes to walking our two seniors pugs, one of whom is blind. On the day of the actual walk, she was punctual and communicative. Both pugs seemed very happy and well fed when we got home. Thanks, Amber!
I’m so grateful to her for taking care of my two cats for almost a month while I was away. When I came home, both cats were happy, calm, and doing just as well as they normally do, which gave me such peace of mind. She also handled an unexpected accident when one of my cats vomited a hairball on the bed blanket, and she took care of it without any hesitation. She was always kind, dependable, and very accommodating whenever I had a special request. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she gave to my cats. I would absolutely book her again the next time I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cats! ❤️🐱🐱
Sarah was AMAZING!! So communicative and eager to go above and beyond for my kitty. My cat doesn’t like new people and Sarah was extremely patient and understanding of her needs. She gave a play by play of what was going on, and offered to clean up the litter and hairball/vomit which happened while she was checking on my cat. Will absolutely book again, and I’d recommend Sarah to anyone needing a drop in sitter.
Lena was an absolutely fantastic caretaker for my boy Bruno! I was out of the country and missed my boy like crazy, but Lena sent pictures and updates which truly helped ease my mind while I was away. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful caretaker like Lena! 🩷
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!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Placentia is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $47 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.

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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Placentia. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
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 .
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.
