“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: Hi, I’m Katelyn! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with 10+ years of experience in veterinary medicine and leadership. My services include drop-in visits, medication administration (oral, topical, and injectable), nail trims, basic pet care support, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I am experienced working with dogs, cats, seniors, and pets requiring ongoing medical management. As an RVT, I understand how to recognize changes in behavior and health. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets receive compassionate, knowledgeable care. At this time, I am focusing on drop-in care and veterinary support services rather than pet sitting or dog walking. Services Offered: * Drop-in visits * Medication administration * Nail trims I currently work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, but I am flexible with drop in services and happy to try to work around your schedule and your pet’s schedule as needed • Drop ins • Medication administration (injectable, oral, topical) • SQ fluids • Feeding (for example, if you have a cat and just need a drop in meal) • Nail trims • Ear cleanings (as long as the ears are not infected and it’s routine)
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!
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!
“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: With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog mom, I bring genuine love and reliable expertise to every pet in my care. My experience spans small and large breeds, as well as puppies, adult dogs, and seniors — so I'm comfortable adapting my care to each pet's unique needs and energy level. Beyond my own dogs, I've cared for pets belonging to family and friends, which has given me a broad range of experience with different temperaments, routines, and personalities. At the heart of it all, I believe fur babies are family. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own — because that's exactly what they deserve. I have a flexible work schedule on Fridays and I’m pretty open on weekends. I may be able to do drop ins during the week in the evenings as long as they align with my work schedule. I will follow your care instructions as detailed to ensure you feel comfortable trusting me to care for your fur baby and ensure they are happy and cared for.
About: I have a good experience caring for senior dogs because I had my own dog who passed away three years ago. He was a 17-year-old Lhasa Apso and had been my best friend since I was born. He was blind and had trouble moving around, so I learned how to help him safely and give him the care and attention he needed. Over the past three years, I’ve also taken care of puppies, active dogs, older dogs, and dogs that needed medication, for quick walks, overnight stays and even long periods such as a 5 week stay. I’ve even cared for kittens and senior cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. Monday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Tuesday: All day (parents home all day) Wednesday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Thursday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Friday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Saturday: All day (parents home all day) Sunday: All day (parents home all day) • Available for dog walking, pet sitting, and daycare. • Can care for pets while parents are home on weekends. • Evening weekday care after school; some flexibility for short walks or check-ins. I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, give medications when needed, and make sure animals are never left alone in unsafe situations. Pets staying at my house will always be one at a time(unless from the same household) to ensure they get my full attention. I have a two-story house with a fenced backyard in a safe neighborhood, and we’re close to a public park for walks and playtime. Pets can enjoy a clean, calm, and secure environment, and owners can trust me to treat their animals with love, attention, and respect at all times.
“Erica is wonderful! She takes care of our dog, cats, and turtle when we are out of town and they all love her. After the visit, Erica always writes how the visit went, how our small zoo is doing and sends pictures of everyone. :) They all love getting pets and cuddles from Erica when she visits!”
“Katie is so kind and generous with her time and took great care with our babies. When we had a delay in our travels home she was very quick to respond and schedule extra drop-ins which made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using Katie again and highly recommend her.”
About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student, however, with summer coming up, my schedule is completely open! I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!
“Shannon was an overall stellar sitter! She arrived on time and followed all care instructions thoroughly. Even more importantly, Shannon has a great attitude and is very caring towards my very young puppy. He absolutely loved her. I would book Shannon in the future again.”
“This was the fourth time Tianna has taken care of my kitties while I had to go out of town, and she was awesome as always! She followed all instructions and made sure the kitties were safe and fed every day. I can't recommend her enough and will absolutely rebook next time I need to go out of town. Thank you, Tianna!”
“I am always a little hesitant to have new people watch our pups but this time I decided to try rover and I am so happy that we did. We did a meet and greet with Nikki and she was absolutely wonderful. Our dog Bob immediately wanted belly scratches from her and Roxy, our blind, senior dog who normally shakes when she hears new voices, was completely calm. She got to our home just right on time and gave us a lot of updates while we were away. She took our dogs out for a potty and she texted me pictures of Bob and Roxy throughout the night which I really appreciate. I already have her booked for another date and I’m so happy we met Nikki. Thank you for taking care of our pups.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!). My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and excited every time they see me. 🐾 Dogs & Cats * ✅ Oral medication administration * ✅ Topical medication administration * ✅ Injection medication of your pets prescribed medications. * ✅ Senior pet care * ✅ Puppy care * ✅ Kitten care * ✅ Special needs pets * ✅ Basic first aid/emergency recognition * ✅ Mobility assistance * ✅ Feeding (including special diets) * ✅ Exercise & enrichment * ✅ Crate training reinforcement * ✅ Potty break visits Grooming * ✅ Basic brushing * ✅ Teeth brushing * ✅ Ear cleaning * ✅ Nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work flexible per diem shifts, which gives me the ability to provide reliable drop in visits, walks, daytime visits and overnight care throughout the week. I keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, have worked in emergency veterinary medicine, and I’m also a licensed EMT. Staying calm, recognizing emergencies, and paying attention to the little things comes naturally to me. I care for every pet as if they were my own following your routines, respecting your home, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, exercised, and spoiled with plenty of belly rubs (and treats, if approved!). Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, or needs medication, they’re in capable and caring hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trabuco Canyon
I was glad to have Aarthi look after Misty while we were away on vacation. She came by to feed and play with her, sent us pictures and updates, and kept the area clean. Aarthi was very responsive, friendly, and attentive to every detail. We will definitely ask her to look after Misty again the next time we travel!
Mirna has very warm grounded energy! My dog instantly loved her, we both felt very comfortable with her. She took perfect care of my giant goofy dog. Great communication and fast response. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future! Thank you again!
This is our 2nd time having the honor of Ariana caring for our tiny Yorkie! Our little girl is very picky about who comes into her World! yet with Ariana Minnie gives her the paw of approval! When we returned, she was balanced clean and happy! This little pet is a family member and Ariana feels like family to her! She is sweet, friendly, caring and very cautious with our little Minnie. I hear she handles gentle giants, medium and in between. Minnie is a teeny Yorkie! 5 pounds and Ariana knows exactly what she needs. I don’t worry one bit! Five stars all the way!
Sabrina & Marc were great! They visited at the scheduled times and made sure to send us plenty of pictures so we knew Peaches was happy and being well taken care of. I highly recommend Sabrina & Marc and will definitely be having them watch Peaches for us again when we go out of town.
Katie is so kind and generous with her time and took great care with our babies. When we had a delay in our travels home she was very quick to respond and schedule extra drop-ins which made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using Katie again and highly recommend her.
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.
My pups loved Lainie! They can be picky eaters, but they ate for Lainie right away. Lainie took good notes about all of their likes and she is really great with my fur babies. They felt at ease with her, and I trust her walking them too. I plan to have Lainie come back and do house sitting soon.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trabuco Canyon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
