About: I have experience giving medicine to both cats and dogs. As a teacher, I have my summer open to be as supportive as I can while you’re in vacation! During the school year, I have my afternoons and early mornings open to help care for your pets. In the summer my schedule is wide open to help! My two cats are super friendly and would love to meet new dogs or cats! I will care for your pet as if they are my own to provide comfort while you are away!
“Irina is an incredibly caring sitter. She took wonderful care of my four cats while we were away traveling. When we came home, the house was very clean and all the trash had been taken out. This was the second time I’ve booked Irina, and I would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much!😊”

About: I had an English Setter Callie, and loved her as if she were my daughter. After she passed, it was not the same and I really missed her and the unconditional love and happiness she brought into my life. The past two years I've been house sitting for several people all over the United States, which began with an uber driver asking me if I'd look after his Belgian Malinois Berta while he went on a cruise. The experience was great and I realized how much I miss being around animals. I have done dozens of house sits since then, met amazing pets from dogs, cats, lizards, and frogs. I've met some great people in that time as well who I'd help in a heartbeat again should the need arise. On March 2, 2026 I found a chihuahua, Sweetie abandoned walking towards the road while I was house sitting for a customer. I saved her, she wasn't microchipped, no collar, nobody claimed her despite my listings. She is family now and an unbelievable gift in my life. She is 4 years old, very friendly with people, dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Shes a total sweetheart and I bring her with me on sits, and have been impressed with how different pets interact with her and how they motivate and teach each other little things. I work remotely in financial services as a life insurance, mortgage protection broker. Plenty of schedule flexibility, I schedule all my own clients and appointments. I'm very health conscious and enjoy getting outside hiking, walking trails, or going to the gym to stay fit. Treat pets and homes as if they're your own. Leave things as found or better than when you arrived. I like to keep owners updated consistently usually every 2 or 3 days, with photos and an occasional video of something funny if you catch pets in the act.
About: I have grown up around animals, and currently have a dog and a cat of my own! (plus our growing fast tortoise) I have been pet-sitting for friends, neighbors, relatives, and strangers for about 8 years! I am very clean and respectful in other peoples’ homes, follow instructions given to a T, and go above and beyond for your babies that I would be taking care of! I have cared for senior pets, my own included, pets that need extra care and attention, and am comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently a college student, so my weekly schedule consists of 2 classes a day, Monday-Thursday. I am available before or after my classes, and all day Friday and weekends. I am experienced with dogs of many temperaments and needs. I have experience giving dogs medicine, helping move senior pets that may have a harder time walking, pets that love more attention, and pets that don’t want anything to do with me! I am also comfortable and love taking dogs for long walks, car rides, and beach trips.
About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.
About: I worked at The Bone Adventure and have experience in dog behavior awareness/body postures, group supervision, feeding routines, animal safety, time management, and cleaning/sanitation. If you’ve ever sent your dog to The Bone Adventure, I already know them by name! ;) I am currently working VERY tiny two hour shifts during the week on certain days that I am needed. I should be pretty flexible unless told otherwise and I’ll always make sure that I can be accommodating for my clients! I am a very fast learner and it helps me out a lot if my clients can write down their pets feeding schedules, priorities, triggers and general behaviors in certain situations. This is so that I can keep their dogs’ needs and safety in mind and never mix up their priorities with other clients.
“Andrew and Olivia were amazing hosts to my Persian kitty, Buddha!! I got daily messages and adorable pictures on what Buddha was up to!!! They have a nice clean apartment and followed any instructions we gave them! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby!!!”
“Julie was a fantastic sitter! Such a relief to know Goji was safe and well cared for. Julie was extra accommodating by picking up food when I ran out of time to restock before leaving. Huge thanks!”
“Alissa is so sweet and did an amazing job checking in on my cat Ella during the holidays! She even went the extra mile and helped me keep my plants alive :) Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Reimi. Thank you for visiting my profile! I am an absolute animal lover with over 13 years of pet care experience! In Japan, I raised 3 female cats (a Scottish Fold, an American Shorthair, and a domestic mix), and I currently live with 2 sweet tabby boys in the US. I also have experience raising hamsters, so I am very attentive to small details when caring for pets. While I don’t currently own a dog, I have plenty of hands-on experience helping friends and family with their dogs—including walking, feeding, playing, and going on outings together. I love all kinds of animals and breeds, and I’m very comfortable with different personalities, whether they are shy or energetic! I provide attentive, stress-free care in the comfort of your pet’s home. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, brush grooming, and fun playtime. Please note that I do not offer bathing or nail trimming services to keep visits calm and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away. I will always send quick updates and photo reports after every visit. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! My schedule is flexible, with just a few routine activities: • Mon / Tue / Thu: Part-time work (3-4 hours during the day) • Tue / Thu: Dance classes (around 3 hours) • Saturdays: Errand/shopping time and evening shift Since these are all short absences, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! Once you submit a request, we can discuss the exact timing and details that best fit your pet's routine. I ensure a safe, comfortable, and reliable environment for your pets: • Service Focus: Specializing in House Sitting (1–2 nights at your home), Drop-in Visits, and Dog Walking (No boarding at my home). • Safety First: Strict adherence to your home rules, routines, and secure locking of all doors and gates. • Pet Experience: Over 13 years of caring for pets with a gentle, attentive, and patient approach. • Constant Communication: Frequent photo/video updates and quick messages for your complete peace of mind.
“Kailyr is a caring, attentive, and responsive sitter! One of my boys needed medication while I was away and she was able to give it to him no problem. You can tell she truly cared for my cats and is an animal lover. Would love to book with her again!”
“Kelsy was wonderful with our cats while we were out of town for our wedding. She send plenty of pictures and made sure our recently-post-surgery cat was doing well. Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Ana Heights
Mabel did an amazing job watching our cat while we were away on an international trip. She was super responsive, provided frequent updates, and left us feeling reassured that our cat was in the best possible hands. At one point we had a mishap with our auto feeder and Mabel helped us get things sorted seamlessly. Our cat loved her and yours will too!
Vi does a great job looking after my two cats Zoey and Ruby. She sends thorough updates and plenty of pics which is always appreciated. She is polite, responsive and does a great job cleaning up any mess that my girls might make. I highly recommend Vi’s services!
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(:
Isabella was fantastic! She stopped by twice to check in and play with our cat, and you could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after.. not just a quick in-and-out. Our cat was happy and well taken care of the whole time. Isabella had no issues getting into our apartment while we were not there which was so amazing and stress free!! Would absolutely recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive cat sitter, and we'll definitely be booking her again
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! 😻

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Santa Ana Heights is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit.

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. 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.
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 .

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.
