“Candace is a great communicator & took great care of our dog and our home! We really appreciate how punctual she is and her attention to details with our dogs meds. Thank you Candace!”
“Michelle was great with our babies. She took the time to come and meet them ahead of time which we so appreciated. She was immediately comfortable with our pups and that”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities . I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed) and lots of affection. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated, so I send regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m available for overnight stays on weekends, and weekdays after 3:00pm, so I will have plenty of time to spend with pups! Walks, check-ins etc. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and special needs so they feel secure and cared for in the comfort of their own home. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines to keep their day consistent. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay aware of our surroundings, and always prioritize safety. I also treat your home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while you’re away. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates for peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in caring hands.
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!
“Portia had a lot on her hands with our lively little 8 month old puppy who was definitely not used to a) us not at home and b) us not at home! We were gone for 10 days and it was the first time for little Edie. Fortunately Portia was upbeat and humorous and playful and communicative and sent us great pictures of the highs and lows of puppy and her 11 year old playpal Ratso. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our two girls. Thanks so much Portia!!”
“Suzanne was extremely caring and gentle with my sensitive doodle Romeo. She brushed him as he sat next to her and he loved it. It looked like he had been to the salon when I got home! Thank you, Suzanne!”
About: For many years, I’ve taken care of pets for clients, friends, and family. I love hanging out with animals, and enjoying the unique personalities of each pet! My daily schedule is very flexible, so I am often able to make availability any time you need. Available for daily drop-in care, or overnight care in your home. I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.
“Nick took wonderful care of my kitty Puffin McStuffin. Puffin broke out of the house as he tends to do and Nick kept a close eye to make sure he came back and then made sure it wouldn’t happen again. He also played, fed, and cuddled Puffin McStuffin and even coaxed him out from under the bed when he was hiding. Bonus he also brought my packages inside! Will be booking again for house sitting.”
“If you want a caring, loving person it’s Crystal! I always feel a little hesitant when I book someone from Rover to care for my fur babies. But with Crystal's 58 reviews and me speaking with her on the phone really eased up my tensions. As soon as I met her with my fur baby she was so polite and professional and cared to see my dog more than she wanted to see me and I was so happy of her actions. She baby sat for me and as I was walking her to her car my fur baby followed her and didn’t want her to go. I thank you babe did everything.”
“5 stars. 10/10 - 100% perfect score for Katherine. She went above and beyond in so many instances for us and our dogs during her stay. She watched our two dogs (one 10, and one 7 months) for 7 days in our home. Our older dog who is normally a vision of health caught a bacterial infection and was occasionally vomiting and had diarrhea for 3-4 days. Katherine was up multiple times a night taking her out and trying to make her comfortable. She ultimately took her to the vet for me, and got her some antibiotics. She immediately improved. Not to mention she took excellent care of our puppy who is a handful herself. Katherine is detailed oriented, knowledgeable, extremely safe and cautious, professional and hard working. Not to mention, she really just loves animals. I will 100% be hiring Katherine again.”
“Suzanne took extremely good care of our cats. She provided excellent communication and cleaned up what was needed. I would love to have her care four my cats and home in the future. The Gracias”
“Kelsy was absolutely fantastic with Kovu- you can tell she really enjoyed spending time with him and took amazing care of him as well as provided regular updates. So thankful for Kelsy!”
“Annabel was fantastic. It was our first time leaving Blu but she made it so easy for us. Blu loved her. She kept us updated on activities and kept him occupied the whole time. He loved her. I would and will use her services again. A+”
“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”
“Very positive experience. We hadn't been anywhere since the Pandemic started. I was anxious about leaving the dog and cat ( that don't get along). So we hired Cierra and off we went for 2 days. Cierra was great. I called her a lot. she constantly updated us on our pets and sent us pictures. When we got home the animals were fine. Cierra did a great job. Now I feel a lot better about going away. Cierra was professional,friendly,informative and interacted well with our pets. Thank you Rover and a special thanks to Cierra for taking such good care of our pets.”
“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”

Candace did an amazing job with Bella who is a senior requires medicine and has some anxiety. She looked relaxed and happy and was very communicative while I was away with anything needed. She did a wonderful job and we can’t wait to have her watch Bella again. 🐾❤️
We had Taylor stay and house-sit for our cat and we’re so happy that she did. Taylor is very communicative - from meet & greet to daily texts about how our cat was doing. Our cat has a complicated feeding schedule and Taylor had no problems with it. Directions were followed and followed correctly. Taylor is easy to talk to and friendly. Also she is a cat whisperer. Our cat is skittish at times and there are people she likes and dislikes. We’re happy to say that our cat accepted Taylor immediately and was rolling around like Taylor has been a family friend for years. Also, Taylor was very considerate about being in our house. When we got back, it was as if no one was here. I would highly recommend Taylor for your pet sitting needs. We’ll definitely be calling on her again the next time we need to leave.
Megan was great :) She stayed on top of everything during our one night away and made sure Zeke wasn’t alone, which matters a lot since he’s a contact sleeper and gets anxious without company. Came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a tidy house. Would absolutely book her again!
Emily was fantastic! Both our cat and rabbit were very comfortably with her. We were exceptionally relieved to find a sitter who knew how to care for rabbits. Our cat can be a handful, but she seemed to warm right up to Emily, despite needing regular medication. Emily provided thoughtful updates on a regular basis without prompting and was respectful of our home while we were away. I highly recommend her and hope to book with her again for future vacations. Thank you Emily!
Amerys was AMAZING! I left Scout with her while I was in Newport for a wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond by helping coordinate Scout’s pickup and drop-off since I wasn’t able to drive after the wedding. This was the first time I had left Scout since her cancer diagnosis 19 months ago, so I was very nervous. Amerys’s communication was honestly 20/10 and gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated, was so attentive to Scout, and made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. I’m so grateful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. If I’m ever back in Newport, she will 100% be the first person I reach out to! Highly recommend Amerys! ❤️
Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending us numerous photos and videos every day. She also spent a significant amount of time with our cat each day and even watered our plants for us! Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend
Eva R. is the gold standard of house and pet sitters! I just returned from a 9-day vacation and couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Eva provided for both my home and my Boston Bulldog, Falcon. From our very first interaction, Eva was incredibly professional, highly communicative, and deeply attentive to Falcon’s and my specific routines and quirks. Throughout the 9 days, I received regular updates and beautiful photos that immediately put my mind at ease and allowed me to truly relax on my trip. It was completely obvious that Eva wasn't just doing a job, but truly bonding with Falcon as a genuine companion. When I got home, Falcon was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. To top it off, the house was absolutely immaculate. Finding someone you can trust implicitly with your pet and your home is rare. Eva is reliable, trustworthy, and an absolute joy to work with. I give her my highest possible recommendation and will absolutely be booking her again for future trips! Choose Eva for her kind spirit and genuine reliability.
Dan took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were on vacation during the Fourth of July. He provided daily updates of photos and videos of our two dogs. One of our dogs is more timid/defensive but Dan took the time with him to make him feel comfortable. By the end of the vacation both our dogs were best friends with Dan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Ana Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Ana Heights on Rover is $58.83 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Ana Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Santa Ana Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Santa Ana Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Ana Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Ana Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
