We are so grateful that we met Nikki. She has taken such good care of our blind dog, Roxy and our anxiety-filled pup Bob. She’s always so patient with them and I always feel at peace whenever we go somewhere and leave them in her care. Thank you for caring for our pups like your own. We really appreciate you and all that you’ve done for our Bob and Roxy.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! Animals have always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I’ve cared for family pets and helped friends with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I provide reliable and loving care that makes pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. I would love to take dogs on walks in during the early morning hours or in the evening. I’m available to stop by and do check-ins during the day as well! 🐾 Care Elements I Prioritize Routine Consistency — following your feeding, walking, and training habits to reduce stress. Safety & Supervision — secure environments, monitored play, and awareness of household hazards. Cleanliness — tidy spaces, fresh water, clean bowls, and regular waste removal. Enrichment — mental stimulation, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and interactive games. Comfort — cozy rest areas, gentle attention, and calm companionship.

Rachel is amazing and wonderful. So glad we found her to check in on our 3 dogs. All our dogs are comfortable with her and enjoy her company. She is detail oriented and makes sure our dogs are well taken care of. She takes pictures and videos of them when she drops in for a visit. She is also super flexible and understanding when we have change of plans. Pick Rachel as your go to Rover person!

About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available.

About: I’ve had over 20 years pet experience. My dogs are now in heaven, and I miss them terribly, but I’m not ready for the commitment of new pets. So I thought I’d fill the void by walking dogs! I live an active lifestyle and I have more free time available, so it’s a win-win. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I work 100% remotely and and I’m available morning through evening with enough notice. I also I’m available on weekends. I’m a mother who understands the importance of following directions. When in your home and dealing with your dog, I will always maintain respect and will follow any care-instructions provided.

About: As an animal lover since a small age, I’ve always been the go-to neighbor and friend to care for other’s beloved pets while they’re away. It’s a bright spot in my day to share some time with furry family members. I love cats, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. We have two cats, Bartleby and Butterscotch, both rescues. I understand cats can be timid with new people and need time to feel safe to reveal themselves. I feel I’m good at communicating my intentions and seem to gain their trust quickly through finding just the right way to speak and pet them. Dogs are wonderful companions. I always hate to travel and leave our 5 year old Frenchie named Brutus behind. I had the honor of training him since he was 10 weeks old. Brutus came along right as our senior rescue dog Bill was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and needed daily medication to help treat it and eventually wearing diapers around the clock. Bill was a Yorkie-poodle mix with skin allergies and needed daily medication. I got to experience the senior dog that was slowing down and needing more care while training a high energy puppy. So I’m fully able and ready to care for dogs at any stage of their lives. I’m great at meeting them we’re they’re at and gaining their trust. I’d be more than happy to help care for your cats and dogs! I’m working part time and have time in the mornings, and after 2pm until late into the night for any help you may need. I am happy to take your dog on walks and play with them, as well as feed and spend time with any cats you may have in your home.

Cass took such wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town for the weekend! She was consistent with her visits, played with them, sent us pictures every visit, and kept in constant communication with us. She brought so much peace of mind for my family knowing our cats were showered with so much love and care! Thank you Cass!! ✨

About: I have had my maltese, Milky, for fifteen years and unfortunately had to say goodbye to my childhood dog back in 2023. I would love to meet some new dogs and spend more time with some new friends! I have experience working with dogs as I worked at a dog grooming salon. I had always wanted a dog when I was younger and felt a strange connection to dogs, wherever and whenever I saw them. I have also worked with No Stray Left Behind which is an organization that helps adopt abandoned dogs. I’m currently working part-time so have plenty of time to look after or walk your pet! (: My schedule is pretty flexible so it shouldn’t be hard to find availability! I have a fenced backyard that is definitely safer than just letting the dog outside and also live in a cul de sac where I can safely walk the dog if needed!

About: I have been dog, cat, fish, and house sitting for over five years and I love it. Animals bring me so much joy, so being about to make a living caring for them is truly something special for me. I will provide the absolute best care for your animals and make sure that know just how loves they are! I have experience waking average sized dogs as well as giant breed dogs and I am confident in my ability to handle them all. I am knowledgeable in dog training techniques and how to successfully bond with and control new dogs. I pay attention to detail and am an always on time. With me, your dogs won't just feel at home, they will feel like they're in heaven! My job allows me to be free in the summer time, so my attention can all be directed to the pet care that I offer! I always pay close attention to where an animal is going and what they are eating. I will never let your pet get into something that is unsafe or not for them. I also do my best to keep your home well cared for along with you pet!

Nancy is awesome. I got another job and was going to be away from my dog scout for long periods of time during the day. Nancy comes to my house and takes her out for a much needed walk. Scout is always so excited to see her and I trust her in my house. She sends me photos of scout and a note to tell me how the day went. Thank you!

Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.

About: I grew up taking care of my three dogs as well as friends and families pets as needed. I have been responsible for house sitting, walking and bathing dogs for about 2 years. I am currently home for summer break from university of Oregon. I don’t have a job at the moment so I have a ton of available especially during the week. On the walks and check in with your pets I will make sure to care for them and give them some attention. During boarding and check ins I will make sure to hide treats to make it fun and engaging.

About: I have always had pets growing up and I loved to take care of them. I also often watched my neighbors dogs when they were on vacation. I love being around pups and love to be active, go on walks and play with them. I work in Irvine from 7:30-4pm, so I’ll be away during the workday. On weekends, I can be home most of the day and spend plenty of time with your pups. They’ll get lots of attention, walks, snuggles and play time throughout the day :) I do not have any other pets or children. I like to create a relaxing and calm atmosphere so your pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

Lisa did an amazing job caring for my 3 cats and 2 Bunnies who need specialized care. I have been struggling for a long time to find someone who I trust to take care of all of my animals for a while now, and I am so glad that I found Lisa. She was responsive and communicative, showed up when expected, and was very thorough in following my (admittedly extensive) instructions on how to care for my pets including medications for one cat and multiple supplements for the bunnies. She showed good decision making when I was temporarily unable to answer questions, and genuinely seemed to care about the care and well-being of my pets. I can't wait to book her again for our next trip!

We had such a great experience with Aarthi (again)! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and sent us updates and pictures every night, which gave us so much peace of mind. Everything was clean and taken care of, and most importantly, our babies were happy and well cared for. 🥰 We really appreciate how thoughtful and attentive she was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her! 🖤

Nancy is amazing! Even though my cat is wary of people and hid when Nancy stopped by, she still went above and beyond during every visit. She made sure my cat had everything she needed, always leaving plenty of fresh food and water and checking the litter box. Nancy was easy to communicate with and even took on the extra task of watering my plants when a heat wave rolled in. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Trabuco Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Trabuco Canyon on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,964 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Trabuco Canyon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trabuco Canyon. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.

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.
