“Novia was absolutely amazing! This was my first trip away from my kittens and she was sending me so many cute pictures and videos! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. She will definitely be the sitter I choose whenever I go out of town again. Highly recommend !”
About: Growing up with our family dog Lucy, who lived until she was 19, has given me plenty of practical understanding of dog care. I frequently help look after friends' dogs, providing reliable walks, playtime, and regular feeding. With my flexible schedule, I look forward to offering attentive, dependable, in-home care to give your dog the best experience. My two children are in school during the day, and I am studying full-time at the moment. This makes my routine flexible, and pet care can fit in easily. I can accommodate mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules and walks in an unhurried way. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your exact feeding, health and care guidelines to keep your pets safe and happy in their familiar environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect, always ensuring doors and gates are secure. You can expect clear communication and photo updates with every visit.
“Alyssa was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I didn’t think she would even see my kitties, but she somehow managed to get several photos while I was gone. She took such great care of their needs & I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I feel so lucky to have had dogs and cats all my life. Your furry, family members will receive the love and attention you would hope for from a dog walker/ cat sitter. I have a finger-print, clearance card, a perfect driving record, and I have been a realtor for over ten years so I understand your home is a place you need security and privacy. I do this for the absolute love of it, nothing makes me happier than animals. I’ve just moved to California from Arizona. As I set up my business I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do what I love, be with animals. Right now my availability is wide open and I will try to keep it that way. For now I’ll be doing both “drop ins” and walking, over time I will be available for overnights at either my home or your home.
About: Animals have been huge part of my entire life. I genuinely love caring for all pets and understanding their unique personalities, needs, and individual quirks. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays during daytime hours, making pet care a natural part of my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to providing attentive care. I have experience caring for all dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, ducks, fish, turtles, hamsters, and reptiles, plus AKC Yorkshire Terrier breeding, training, and canine behavior.
About: I walk dogs of all sizes and follow each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I also offer housesitting, including overnight stays. I have a 12-year-old Himalayan with stage 1 kidney disease and have always been a lifelong cat lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with asthma, and both social and shy cats. I’m experienced in administering medications for both cats and dogs, including inhalers, injections, pill dispensers, and topical treatments. I work full-time, so I’m available for weekday 20-minute check-ins within 15 miles of SNA, starting at 5:45 PM I’m available for walks and overnights, and have open weekend availability.

“Kiryl, Thank you so much for caring for my pal Pearl, sending photos, feeding and sitting with her. Gave me such peace and calm knowing you showed up as scheduled. I felt so much comfort knowing you are in the complex too.”
“Chase was a great help on short notice, just before we left for our vacation. He carefully followed the detailed instructions we left and sent photos after each visit. We really appreciated his help!”
About: I've had experience taking care of animals from a young age. I've looked after small to medium dogs mainly, senior dogs, cats, and reptiles like snakes, turtles, and lizards. I'm currently employed full time Monday-Friday. If your pet is okay with me leaving them for up to 8hrs, I am more than happy to house/petsit. I'm fully available on weekends for single day sitting or dog walking. I am an early riser, so I'm available early mornings and after 5pm for walks. Drop in visits welcome. I will take care of your beloved pet in your home following your instructions, wants and needs. I know leaving your pets can be stressful but you can be sure I will care for them with safety as the highest priority. I can also send pictures if you request!
“Julia took great care of our kitten! She was very fast to reply to messages, and gave us a detailed overview of each visit. I would definitely book her again for future pet needs”
About: 🐾 Howdy Hey! Hi! I’m a UCI student, certified EMT, and cat mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your cat. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I know cats are not “low-maintenance” pets — they have routines, preferences, boundaries, and emotional needs just like dogs do. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, anxious, senior, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel safe, respected, and comfortable. 🐱 My Cat Care Philosophy I believe cats deserve enrichment, stimulation, and individualized attention — not just food, water, and a clean litter box. Cats deserve to live their best lives too, and I love creating a calm, engaging environment that supports their natural instincts. Depending on your cat’s personality and comfort level, care may include: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box maintenance • Playtime with wand toys, toy mice, tunnels, or your cat’s favorite toys • Treat puzzles or simple enrichment activities • Scratching opportunities • Cozy resting spots and calm companionship • Brushing, if your cat enjoys it • Medication support, if instructions are provided • Regular photo updates so you know how your cat is doing I also offer safe indoor bird-watching enrichment. I have a bird-feeding area outside where cats can enjoy “cat TV” from a secure indoor window view. Cats remain fully indoors and safe at all times — this is visual enrichment only, with no outdoor access or contact with wildlife. 🏡 Cat Boarding in My Home For boarding, I aim to create a calm, safe, home-based environment where your cat can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. I keep care intentionally limited so each pet gets focused attention and is not treated like just another booking. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not force cat-to-cat interactions. Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. I can provide a separated space with their own food, water, litter box, cozy resting area, toys, and enrichment. If your cat needs time to decompress, hide, observe, or slowly adjust, I completely respect that. I understand that some cats are social and curious, while others need quiet, patience, and personal space. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while you’re away. 🧼 Cleanliness & Safety I take cleanliness seriously, especially when caring for cats. Litter boxes, food areas, water bowls, surfaces, and shared items are cleaned regularly. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being. My EMT background has made me detail-oriented, calm, and observant, which helps me notice when something seems off and communicate clearly with owners. Before boarding or visits, I like to know about your cat’s: • Feeding schedule • Litter box habits • Medical needs or medications • Favorite toys and enrichment • Hiding spots or comfort items • Personality and handling preferences • Stress triggers • Behavior around other cats The more I know about your cat’s routine, the better I can care for them. 🌿 Outdoor / Catio Policy For safety, I do not provide outdoor roaming, balcony access, or unsupervised outdoor time. Boarding cats will remain indoors in a secure environment. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine if they have a fully enclosed, secure catio at home. Catio time must be discussed ahead of time and will only be provided if it is safe, enclosed, and owner-approved. 💬 Communication You can expect clear communication, thoughtful questions, and regular photo updates. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, enriched, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for trusting me with your cat. I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. As a UCI student and certified EMT, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day (or night). Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible while their owner is away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, bathroom or litter box maintenance, enrichment, and companionship tailored to each pet's personality and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. Before each booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. As a certified EMT, I'm attentive, calm under pressure, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I understand that dogs and cats thrive when their routines are respected, and I work to create a safe, positive, and low-stress experience while you're away. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Joaquin Hills
Kailyr watched our cats again this week, including an unexpected extension because our flight home was delayed — As before she took great care of them, and her updates are always fun to read. She sends lots of photos and videos, and she made sure the place was clean and orderly when we came home. This is our second time having Kailyr care for our cats, and we were again super appreciative of her care for them and attention to detail, as well as for being willing to take care of them an extra day on short notice. Very much recommended!
Sam was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Zorro, and spent quality time playing with him and keeping him happy and comfortable. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and lovely. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to Zorro. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Zorro again!
Bridget really saved us with a last minute booking! She took such great care of my cats,even my girl cat who usually takes a while to warm up to new people was cuddling on her lap night 1! Her warm energy must have been sense by them immediately, would definitely book again! Thank you thank you thank you(:
Miranda was great with taking care of our 6 year old cat. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of our baby during her visits. She played with her and gave us updates on how much she was eating. Our girl is shy and she warmed up to Miranda very quickly. We felt at ease knowing she was in great care while we were away. Thank you! 😻
Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!
Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.
Ziran took such wonderful care of my cat OJ while I was away. I got thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which reassured me a lot. When I came home, OJ was relaxed, well-fed, and his space was clean and tidy. It’s obvious that Ziran truly cares about animals and treats them like their own.
Christy was wonderful with my four cats! They are not used to being sat and some of them have particularly medical needs, but she was able to make sure they got their meds and some love while we were gone. I will definitely be asking her next time I need a sitter.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .
