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

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and sticking to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and a safe environment. I’m flexible and make sure I’m consistent with their routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. My Schedule is always opened on weekends, give me a message. I make sure pets are always safe and comfortable in my care. I have a fenced backyard that’s pretty spacious, so dogs can get some outdoor time and play safely. If a dog needs to be crated, I’m totally comfortable following that routine and making sure they’re secure and calm. I pay attention to details, keep things clean, and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for so you can trust they’re in good hands.

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.

I’m so glad Megan was available to take care of our shy, curious cat. She was great with the special instructions we had for our cat and plants. Sebby always hides from new people, but he really warmed up to her! Even when we were on vacation, we were eager to read her extremely well written updates. At the end, she said thanks for the chance to spend time with him. So thoughtful! Would definitely ask if she’s available the next time we need a sitter.

About: I am a full-time college student with a lifelong love for dogs. I’ve owned dogs all my life, and caring for them has always been incredibly rewarding. I have experience walking many miles with dogs and making sure all of their needs are met along the way. I treat every dog as if they were my own and can guarantee attentive, loving care. I absolutely love exercising, and I truly believe that regular movement and companionship are essential for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m here to help pet parents ensure their pups get the exercise, care, and attention they deserve. Book with me today! 🐾❤️🐶 I care for dogs full time now. Every day of the week! Sometimes early morning, sometimes late nights. And sometimes all day everyday for sittings. Just don’t be afraid to ask me about my availability. I also have 3 pets of my own at home, so it does get busy sometimes, but I will always try to go above and beyond! I walk dogs for 30 minutes to an hour. I provide them water, poop bags, treats, and even toys! For example: I have a nerf gun that shoots tennis balls 🎾 (which dogs LOVE lol) I do sprint intervals as well if your big dog needs that exercise!

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.

I hired Maira for drop-in visits to play with and feed my pups while I was away on a business trip. I don’t usually travel for work because I’ve seen too many horror stories on social media about negligent pet sitters, so I was pretty skeptical. But Maira completely put my mind at ease from the very beginning. She immediately scheduled a meet and greet and completed a detailed questionnaire about my babies, which was so helpful—especially since Aura was being particularly finicky with her food that week. During the meet and greet, it was clear how genuinely passionate Maira is about animals. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my pups with someone who, at the time, was a stranger but now feels like family. While I was away, Maira checked in right upon arrival and sent tons of pictures and videos of my pups playing and having a wonderful time. Those updates brought me so much relief and happiness. Knowing they were happy, well cared for, and enjoying themselves made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone to walk your dog, do drop-ins to play and feed, or house sit while you’re on vacation or a business trip, I highly recommend Maira. She truly treats your pets like her own family members. You can trust her completely! 🐾

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.

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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 18,022 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.
