“Victoria was a God’s sent! She and her husband took care of our baby so well, were really attentive and caring! Provided updates and pictures daily and even were able to accommodate extra time due a delay in our trip!🙏🏻 overall 10/10 recommend!!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”
“Sunny was fantastic!! This was the first time I used Rover and the whole process was wonderful. I was able to set up a meet and greet first, then book through the app and Sunny was very responsive with my texts. She also sent me loads of picture (which I really appreciated) and that helps a lot when I am traveling and I miss my lil guy! I plan on rebooking with her very soon!”
“My dog had the absolute best time with her. I was worried at first he might feel timid, but they made sure he had a safe heaven at their home. I got plenty of updates, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for caring for Loki!”
“Best of the best! Did an amazing job with our doggie who is usually scared of everything and showed her a great time. Vi was really in tune with our dogs needs and feelings, and gave her plenty of walks, playtime and enrichment! She even knew what to do when our doggie had some tummy trouble. Vi really knows her stuff! Thank you so much, Vi!!!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of Archer for the past week! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She took him on walks, made sure he had everything he needed, and even went out of her way to get him food when he needed it. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Archer and wanted him to feel right at home. I really appreciated the extra effort and peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Nikcole and her family have been a blessing to us. They love and take care of JC sooo well! It’s such a relief when you can leave your pet with someone and know they are in good hands. Thank you Nikcole for taking g great care of JC!!”
“Erika is a TRUE ANGEL! Not only did she keep our doodle happy and cared for, she went above and beyond to ensure she had everything she needs. She even made a trip to our vet to get her medicine while we were gone. We got daily updates and adorable photos and sunny was always so happy. I will be using Erika every time we leave town and cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet! Whether you’re away at work, out for the day, or just need an extra hand, I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is getting the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to Moose, my Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m no stranger to big personalities, playful energy, and dogs who need a little extra attention! Having a large dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, understanding different personalities, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. I also work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a nice long walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and treat them like one of my own! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be highly available and flexible with your dog's needs.

The community is dog-friendly, with safe pathways and a peaceful environment, ensuring your dog is always in good hands. Inside my home, I make sure there’s plenty of cozy space for your dog to relax, play, or nap—whatever they prefer. I also maintain a consistent routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure to follow your dog's routine closely, keeping them in familiar surroundings while still offering playtime, walks, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that your dog gets plenty of love, exercise, and care to keep them happy and relaxed.
“Karen was amazing. I had never left my dogs for more than 4 days and my daughter and I were going away on vacation for 10 days. My dogs also don't get very much socialization so I was nervous about them being around other dogs. They did great, I'm sure do to Karen. She sent me pics everyday when they were out on walks and from her home. It was so reassuring to see how well they were doing and how well they had taken to her and other dogs. I would definitely use her again. ?”
“Melissa and her family are incredible!. We've always had positive experiences with all rover.com sitters but Melissa is something else entirely. She is the warmest, most down to earth, glad-hearted sitter we've ever encountered. Her and her beautiful family showed our Milo more love than he could have hoped for, kept us updated during our travels with continuous photos and updates on our golden boy, giving us incredible peace of mind. They really took care of our boy and we COULD NOT be happier with the entire experience. We are new to Newport beach but we have now found our dog sitter! Give Melissa a message when you need sitting - you will love her and know that your furry family member is in the best of hands. Could not recommend her enough!”
“We boarded Finn for the very first time and it went as smoothly as anyone would hope! Dan gave updates via text and video and it was great to see how well Finn was adjusting and I felt comfortable knowing Finn was safe and getting tons of play with all the doggy friends. Thank you Dan for taking great care of him!”
“Lainey had good communication and sent lots of pictures. She took my dog on walks and to the beach, which he loves. Our dogs got along quite well. I highly recommend her.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Lisa care for our dog, Cooper, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Cooper is like our baby, and Lisa treated him with so much love, attention, and care—it meant everything to us. Honestly, I don’t think he even wanted to come home! She has the sweetest dog and a beautiful yard where Cooper could run and play, and he felt completely comfortable right away. Throughout my time away, Lisa sent thoughtful updates and photos that made me so happy and gave me total peace of mind. Lisa is truly a gift—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who genuinely loves what she does. I will absolutely be using her regularly and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. You would be so lucky to have her care for your dog. 5 stars all the way! ⭐️🐾”
“We had such a great experience with Zhe! She took wonderful care of our dog, Jonathan, and we could tell how happy and comfortable he was during his stay. When we picked him up, he was so happy and smiled the entire drive home! 🥹❤️ It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you, Zhe, for taking such great care of our pup—we truly appreciate you and would definitely book with you again! 🐶💕”
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“Jeff & Keersi were absolutely amazing with our Toby! They took care of him for 12 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with them. They sent us pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Toby was so happy and clearly felt right at home with them. They’re wonderful people, great communicators, and created such a loving, comfortable home for him while we were gone.”
“Jeri was great with our German Shepard mix, Chance, for his second visit! She takes excellent care of him, provides us daily updates and pictures, and gives us peace of mind when we are out of town. We cross our fingers every time we go on vacation that Jeri’s calendar is open!”
“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter take care of Ralph. Charlene and her family are the best! They sent me pictures of Ralph every day. They made me feel at ease. Ralph seems to like them too. I would like to ask for her help again! Thank you very much!!”

Jessica was INCREDIBLE as a sitter for our pup! She regularly sent us updates and photos which were much appreciated. Our dog was happy, healthy, & living the dream with her. We would definitely book again and we know our pup would be in safe hands with her. Thank you so much Jessica!
Dawn was amazing! I dropped off an 18 week puppy! And four days later, I picked up a dog that walks by my side, knows to pee outside only! Dawn sent pictures, and took the time to share some incredible training advice which I’m using. She was caring, attentive and so conscientious. She even ordered a chewing toy for Honey will definitely return and can’t recommend highly enough. Ten Stars!!!
I highly recommend Victoria. She was wonderful with our 9 year old Labrador. He can be a little nervous in new situations and she took great care of him. It was his second time staying with her and he was excited to see her when we dropped him off. I am very happy with her care of our dog and her communication with me. I am confidant our dog can be cared for by Victoria when we need daycare or overnight boarding. Thank you, Victoria!
Mykah is so sweet, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Zero in her care! He was calm and content when we picked him up, which made us so happy! ❤️ Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! If it weren’t for you, Zero would’ve had to stay home in Utah. You made it possible for us to enjoy a day at Disneyland and have Zero here to enjoy the beach with us all week! We’re so grateful!! 🥰🐾
This is the second time I have booked with Ning and I have a third time booked already. Ning is a perfect dog mom! She sends pictures and videos several times a day and is so attentive. She often has 2-3 dogs. Dusty loves playing with them and loves his one on one time with Ning. Highly recommend.
Jeffrey was the best dog sitter we've had so far. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and it showed. He sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to any dog owner.
Jeff and his lovely wife Cara took great care of my Maltopoo for over two weeks. I am grateful for the love and care she got, and all the fun photos I received while away on my trip. It made me happy to see my dog was on vacay just like I was far away. Thank you Jeff and Cara for such a great stay!
I won’t leave Charlotte with just anybody. As sweet as she is, she still needs a lot of attention and supervision. I appreciate Chris taking time getting to know Charlotte and allowing us time getting to know him. During Charlotte’s stay, Chris sent pictures and videos, and gave her lots of play time, which she needs. Chris seemed caring and knowledgeable, which gave me some peace of mind while she was in his care.
Shannon and her family were 11/10! They watched Gigi at their home for 4 days while we were traveling for a wedding and took such great care of her! They have a huge fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in and a lot of room indoors as well. I received many photo updates of Gigi during my time away and will definitely be going to Shannon for any future travel :)
My dog seemed to love Eileen and her husband! I got tons of fun photos and videos during my long trip, and it really helped me feel at ease that my dog was getting love and attention. They also were very helpful in spending time to show me the specific walking routes and parks they would take her. Would definitely book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Santa Ana Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Santa Ana Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Santa Ana Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
