“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.”
“Anne is my go-to cat sitter! She has a wonderful rapport with my cat 🐈⬛ She leaves wonderfully detailed report cards too. I feel safe and secure knowing my cat is in good hands.”
“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.”
“Ashley is an amazing communicator, attentive to details, trustworthy, and caring. We never have to worry about our pets during trips because she is such a thoughtful and responsible pet sitter. Will definitely book again. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Megan was great for our first Rover experience. She walked us through the process and was very patient and flexible with our English Bulldog Reggie. He needed some time to warm up, but by the second visit, all he wanted to attention and pets. Megan was on time and always kept in communication. We hope to keep using Megan for any future pet needs. 5 stars!”
About: Hi, Carson here. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a passion with animals. Since I was a kid, I’ve never had a day without a pet accompany in my life. Over the past 30 years, I had 4 dogs and 3 cats, and currently with my wife Casey we have 2 cats. All of our fur babies were either strays or coming from shelters. We always wanted to do more for the animals and with years of experience in taking care of animals with all ages we think this is a good place for us to take the first step of our calling. I am a business consultant who works from home so my schedule is very flexible and can accommodate your schedule during the weekdays as wells as weekends. As fur parents, we understand how anxious and uneasy it can be when you have to travel away from your fur babies. We assure you that we would treat your pets like our own and take good care of them so you can have a peace of mind and enjoy your time away worry free.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Vivian took amazing care of our cat while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our furry friend was in such capable hands. Vivian followed all of our instructions perfectly, sent daily updates and photos (which we really appreciated!), and it was clear our cat was relaxed and happy in her care. We would 100% book with Vivian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”
“I highly recommend Chelsea for any pet owner lives in Orange. She is a warm, friendly and thoughtful person. When we're gone, she sends us updates and photos and is very responsive to our texts. My cat and dog have very well cared. I am very happy that I found Her in Rover and very grateful for her work!”
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.

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!
Just finished our first pet sit with Jenn, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our three kitties! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire week, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats also seemed very comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. We’ll definitely be requesting Jenn’s services again in the future and highly recommend her!

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. 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.
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!
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 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.
