“Kristen was great! There were no issues while I was out of town and she was extra helpful with bringing in packages and clearing the litter box. I’d definitely use her again!”
“Vi is without a doubt the best pet sitter we have ever had. She provided the most detailed updates and photos daily. She took the time to take our cat to the vet at our request after he experienced some relapsing symptoms of a prior injury. Cannot recommend her more. We felt like our cat was so loved and cared for under her watch.”
About: I just love animals and I think it's so cool that we can form friendships with no language commonality at all. I have cared for old dogs, puppies, sick dogs, deaf dogs, hyper dogs, service dogs, dogs that could use more training, dogs who like to hike, and dogs that would rather sit in my tote bag. I love them all, and I will love and care for yours like it's my own. I choose my own work schedule for the most part, which means I have ample time to be with your pet! I am available most every day! I go on so many walks, and it's even better to have a dog that I can take with me. I am happy to stay at your place, or bring your dog home with me. I have a pet-friendly apartment with access to a fenced-in yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but certainly don't require that.
About: I’ve loved & cared for animals since I was a kid. I have cared for dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, horses, bearded dragons - I have experience with administering meds, special feedings/dietary needs, reactive animals (I have a reactive dog myself), & providing all the cuddles & love the animals tolerate. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, & getting to love on any/all fur babies. I work part time & am also caring for my mom at the moment - I am available for dog walking, drop-in’s for now, with the goal of full-time pet-sitting in the future. I unfortunately cannot offer boarding at this time. As a super protective fur-mom, I am always acutely aware of any potential escape moments - so I can assure all fur parents that I know the anxiety that comes with not being able to protect your babie(s) at all time. I am always making sure that all doors, gates, etc are closed & locked, that there are no potential hazardous & toxic food within reach, that there is always fresh water & food, plenty of play time with the fur baby’s favorite toy(s), & lots of love and cuddles. The biggest thing I want for my own doggo is for him to feel so incredibly loved at all times, & I will always treat every animal with the same level of love & respect that I give my own little fluff.
“Shianne did a wonderful job checking in on our cat Ruby. She was extremely polite and communicative and sent great updates. I highly recommend hiring her :).”
“Jenny was such an awesome sitter for our two kitties and we couldn't be more impressed by her professional and care! She went above and beyond to make sure Lhotse and Denali had a good Christmas, and we can recommend Jenny highly enough!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can't get enough! Whether it's comforting a senior dog or giving a puppy the attention it needs, I’m dedicated to making your pet feel loved and safe in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to give your dog the attention they need, whether it's regular walks, playtime in the yard, or just cuddles and companionship. I treat every pet as part of my world, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for throughout the day. Weekdays/Weekends: After 9AM and throughout the day Having experience with dogs over the years, I can easily create a safe playful space within the clients home. This would also include daily enrichment walks around the neighborhood or play time in the yard.
“Ellen was great!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little. Those around me would probably say I connect better with dogs than humans. Fur baby’s make me so happy and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! I am reliable, responsibly, and respectful. I currently work full-time and this would be a part time job, mostly during Friday- Sunday. I am free most weeks so I do have the time and resources to take care of pets. I can easily accommodate any special requests that will be needed to watch your fur baby. I am more than happy to review any special instructions and chat prior to taking care of your animals.
About: Why Im here: Hello there, I am so happy I found this site, recently my beloved pet has passed away. Ironically I have had the opportunity to house sit for friends and families pups. I love, miss and cherish my dog Captain who was a lab mix. Taking care of other pets has helped me cope with my loss. A little about me: I am a 22year old focused student. Part time receptionist. I have experience working with dogs at Newport Mesa Animal hospital in newport beach for two months as a vet assistant intern. I also dont mind bathing or trimming your pets nails upon request. With your permission I would be happy to take your dog to the dog park or beach as well. I love giving puppy massages and practicing tricks. I hope I am a match to house sit your family pet. I am available most weekends. I am also available in the afternoons and evenings. Work schedule is usually 7:30AM-2:30PM and then I am available the rest of the time to have a flexible schedule to meet your pets needs. I take my pup for a walk first thing in the morning. Then we have breakfast together. After work, I usually will practice some tricks with my pup and play with either a frisbee or pet safe flavored bubbles. Dinner time is always on a consistent schedule and I or my partner feeds the pup at 7 pm. then we go for an evening walk before bedtime. Depending on the pet, their mobility and diet / feeding time schedules may differ. But I like to keep a regular schedule and I know the furry friends appreciate it too. On weekends, I enjoy taking the pup for a walk on the castaways park, or to play in galaxy park. Sometimes we will go to the dog beach and have a bath if its a warm sunny day. I bath my pup once a week and have him groomed monthly. Luckily I have a partner who is very involved in our pups lives so if Im not available he does tend to the doggies daily needs.
“Norberto was very professional, friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend and would have him take care of our pup again!!”

Thank you Suzy - we hope to use your services again soon!”
“Elena did a wonderful job, my babies were soo happy, thank you so much.”
“Very good first meeting. Jordy loved Tina. She's very good with big dogs and ours has separation anxiety. He had no trouble going out with her alone and I could tell he was very comfortable with her.”
About: I don’t just watch your dogs —I keep them happy, engaged, and stress-free! Testimonial: Rita is the absolute best dog walker in all of Orange County and I highly recommend her services. She is loving, attentive, and professional. She is completely trustworthy and accommodating in all aspects. We are so lucky we found her! Hello, I'm Rita and here are some things about me. Caring for dogs brings me incredible joy! They really are our Best Friends. I've been dog sitting and walking in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach for 13 years. I carry business insurance. My overnights include an evening and morning potty walk. I love meeting new dogs and their owners too. I love taking care of dogs in their homes where they can keep their routine in their comfortable environment. Does your dog sleep on the bed with you? They can with me too! I've educated myself about dogs and what makes them tick so I'm relaxed and confident with them. I love lists so if you give me a list of what you would like me to do with your dog (Please do!) I will follow it to the letter. I can administer medications. I can't wait to provide the best care for your beloved dogs! Hit the blue button to contact me. ` I can do 30 minute drop in visits and 12-hour overnights. Overnights are usually from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. but I'm flexible. Ask me! With 12 hour overnights, I provide two walks, one in the morning and one in the evening. I provide lots of love and I will follow your instructions to the letter as far as feeding goes. You can book a visit during the day too for an additional charge.
“Michelle was great! Quick to respond to the initial request, flexible with times and set up a meet and greet in the same day. Our babies loved her!”
“Alissa was great! Highly recommended. She was punctual and took care of everything I had asked for. There was a couple of issues with my smart lock and she was cool about it and worked with me to get it working again. Also, I had a change of plans and had to end the service a day early and she was understanding. Would book again!”
“I am so grateful for Damariz! She was the best ever and my kitty Trinity absolutely loved her. I was sent pictures each and every day and I could feel in my heart that my fur baby was loved and taken care of. So happy to have found you! Xoxo - Jessica 🦋”
About: After losing my beloved fur baby of 13.5 years, Jax, to a massive tumor, I decided to leave Corporate America and embark on a soul-searching journey through South America. Along the way, I connected with so many wonderful dogs who filled my heart with love and comfort. Now that I’m back home, I’m focusing on writing a book about my journey and enjoying the flexibility in my schedule. Though I’m not ready for another dog of my own just yet, I would love to be an "auntie" to yours. Friends always joked that I treated Jax better than most people treat their children—we were inseparable! We’d go on outdoor adventures, especially to the beach, which was our happy place. During the last year of his life, I cooked him healthy meals and found natural supplements to help him through his battle. I’d love to care for your pup while you’re off on your own adventures, either in your home or mine. I have a passion for yoga, self-care, travel, live music, good food, and sunsets—so your fur baby will be in good company on our little adventures. I'm super flexible with my schedule, so your pup can join me on walks in the Back Bay or the Beach—two of my favorite spots! If they prefer some quiet time, they can hang out with me while I’m writing my book, or we can just snuggle on the couch and relax together. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy downtime, I’m happy to give your fur baby the care and love they need. To ensure your pup’s comfort and safety, it’s important to know about their temperament and preferences. Understanding what they enjoy, their routine, and any specific needs they might have helps me provide the best care possible. While I may prefer to host them at my place, I’m open to staying at your home if it feels right for everyone. A meet-and-greet beforehand is ideal to ensure there’s compatibility and comfort for all parties involved before committing to a stay.
About: Every dog my family has ever had, we've rescued from a shelter. Our first dog was a Corgi mix named JJ who we had for 8 years, who could have cuddled professionally. Our second dog is a Greyhound/Whippet mix who loves to play, has all the energy in the world, and outruns all the boy dogs at the dog park. Adjusting to each of their needs, has been a different experience with each pet, and has provided knowledge about breeds and how to provide the best care for others. My daily schedule is flexible each day, I'm going back to school in the fall to OCC to eventually work in the medical field. I will have classes 3-days a week during the day time for portions of the afternoon. I strive to provide not only a safe and fun environment; welcoming playtime, but I also strive for cleanliness. My goal is to provide all the fun, care and attention, while completing necessary services like walking, feeding, etc., allowing pets needs to be met and returning the space to its original state.

Santa Ana Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlee was great! She stopped in right on time, fed and played with Bella, scooped her litter, and topped off her water! Bella was a happy camper when I got home and she didn’t even notice I was gone 😂
Danielle did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Dixie on super short notice. She was very professional and provided my cat with medication which can be difficult. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter!!
Mable was an awesome Rover who took great care of my cats and even befriended one of my shy cats that rarely lets anyone touch her. I would highly recommend hiring her.
Alaina is the best!! She watched our two cats while we were in Europe for a week and did an amazing job. She sent lots of pictures every day and our cats were both very help and well cared for when we got back. They love her and we will definitely book her for our next trip :)
Krista and Kelsey took care of my cat for two weeks with drop-in visits, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were always on time, extremely reliable, and fantastic with communication. I received regular updates and the sweetest photos every day, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were. Krista even brought toys for my cat, which was such a kind and unexpected surprise! My cat absolutely loved the extra attention and care. You can tell they truly care about animals, and it shows in everything they do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitters! Christine (Kitty)
Elsa was amazing. She took care of our cats, Bobbie and Zoee while we were away for two weeks. The attention given to our cats was incredible. She was proactive and had initiative. We received daily updates in both photos and videos. We appreciate it so much as our time away from our cats were free of stress and worry.
Such a pleasure working w Monica! She followed directions to a t and went above and beyond for my kitties, including an extra visit to refill the feeder and drop back the key. Highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook!
Marilyn is the absolute best! I trust her wholeheartedly to watch our cats. She gives such thoughtful updates for each visit and is very responsive and responsible. She gives me peace of mind that my little ones are being well cared for and loved while I’m away. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
She’s the best! Love knowing that my kitties are being well taken care of, I trust Callie completely! Appreciate her flexibility as well.
Daphne did a fantastic job keeping us updated and playing with our kitten who was alone for the first time.
Joey is our go to for watching our three cats when we go away! Great communicator and very dependable! Have always returned to happy kitties! Thanks Joey!
Chelsea is amazing!! She came once a day for 2 weeks to watch my cat while I was on a work trip. I would always look forward to her detailed updates and pictures everyday. Knowing my cat was in good hands made my trip so much better. I will definitely use her services again!!
Sarah is a very nice and attentive pet-sitter. I’m glad I found her to take care of kittens and chinchillas, really appreciate her help!
Angelica is the best pet sitter I’ve ever used on Rover! She is reliable, communicative and adores my cat as if he was hers. I love how much she played and entertained my cat while I was away. She was also very detailed about the instructions I gave her to take care of my cat. Thank you Angelica! I will definitely be reaching out again!
Jenna is truly amazing. This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t be happier and excited that I found her. She took care of my two cats for a week. I was very stressed about leaving since we have recently moved into a new place. She sent photos everyday, helped with the finicky litter robot and send picture updates everyday. She also helped me with a time sensitive package while I was gone. She is truly an awesome person and pet sitter. Wish I could give Jen more than 5 stars.
Morgan was great! She was very caring with our pet during check in visits. She sent lots of pictures and spent a lot of time playing with her! Thank you Morgan!
Matthew did an awesome job.taking care of my very kiddish kitty. He was patient, calm, and observant. My Spotty is tricky and Matthew was just wonderful
Emily was wonderful!! She watched our dog and three cats when we were out of town. She did drop in visits and gave us daily updates with pictures of all the animals. Her consistent communication really allowed us to enjoy our vacations away from our animals and we will definitely use her again in the future!!
