“Rachel provided excellent care for our cat. She was very kind, thoughtful, and went over and above. We will definitely rebook any time we need a sitter in the future.”
“First time using Rover. Monica is a pleasant and quite person. She was on time to the visits, completed the task I requested, and was very easy to communicate with clarifications and minor changes. She was not rushing and several times ended up spending more time with my dog than expected. My dog liked her very much and she took time to spend with him. She was very respectful to my home and proved herself trustworthy. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I am a UC Irvine alumni. I have had animals present in my life and my home since birth. Growing up, my house was always full of animals and I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds (German Shepherds, Beagles, Basset hounds, Labs, and miniature Dioxins) as well as cats, rabbits, and turtles. I live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks with your dog or just hang out and have some quality time with your pet. I can guarantee that I will love your pets as much as I love my own. Feel free to message me and ask about my availability! I have availability for pet care Monday through Friday; typically before 9 am or after 6pm. I also have occasional weekend availability if requested in advance. I always keep safety in mind when interacting with your animals. I am detail oriented and will make sure to follow all protocols and suggestions given in instructions. When walking in the public I make sure to stay aware of my surroundings and take proactive measures when unsafe situations are observed such as unleashed animals.
About: I am a dog mom of two tiny angels. All of which I’ve had since they were puppy’s. They are a 3 year old Brussels griffon mix, and an 8 year old chihuahua. I am a very active individual and I fully understand how much care goes into owning dogs. My goal is to help those who need some extra help with their own fur babies. I work Monday to Friday 8am to 2:30pm. So ide love to help out around my work schedule with what I can. I can go right after work for walks and drop in visits. I have weekends off for boarding and day care. For boarding and daycare, if needed, my dogs can stay with family so as not to upset any potentially nervous or shy pets I live in a ground level condo with a fenced from yard. So easy access to my patio/yard which has turf for frequent potty breaks and sunning breaks. I am fully understanding of dogs that aren’t as inclined around other animals and am completely ok with my own dogs staying with family for boarding or day care to help provide peace of mind for all animals safety.
“It was a my first time using rover and Randi set the bar very high. She was communicative, detail-oriented, compassionate, and sent so many pictures. She clearly knew what she was doing, and quickly gained the trust of my skittish cat.”
“William went above and beyond, taking care of both Peanut and Youla during our recent staycation. He was very communicative throughout our trip and sent lots of great photos. We will definitely book again!”
“Erica is so wonderful with our little kitty. I selected the wrong dates and didn't realize until we were on our trip. Erica quickly made the adjustments and rushed over to take care of our fur baby. She's incredible!”
“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: Hi I’m Kalynn! I’m 22 years old and have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with all sorts of animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and even rodents. So I’m no stranger to the clean up and giving them lots of love. I’ve also taken care of many friends and family’s animals since I was a teenager, along with overnight stays. Safety is always my #1 priority and I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. Feel free to message at any time, I’m a quick responder and always open to lending a helping hand! My schedule is very flexible and always open so I can be available to help and care for your pet when ever you may need. Your animals trust and comfort are very important to me. My goal is to adapt to their routine and schedule to keep them happy while under my care. I always provide fresh food and water, along with exercise and enrichment throughout the day.
“Jennifer did an amazing job and made us feel very comfortable, She updated us on the whole process and sent us pictures of our little guy. Will definitely be using her again when needed!”
About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.
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 that commutes to campus. I will be gone for a couple hours at a time for class, however, 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!
“Hoai has been such an amazing pet sitter for our dogs! We haven’t used any other dog sitter since finding Hoai since she has always gone above and beyond and has great communication. We appreciated her help while we were out of town this weekend and she even offered to drop in twice due to us forgetting to leave the food outside for her. Thank you, as always Hoai for great service!!”
About: Hello, I’ve had dogs in my family since I was 5yrs old, I have experience from puppy’s to adults and seniors. Walking, bathing, and sitting, even specific feeding needs. I love to get outdoors and have pets have a safe and fun experience. I’m currently a stay at home dad, so I have lots of time and availability to take care of your pets. I drop my daughter off at school in the morning and pick her up afternoon, my days are open around that. I have a fenced yard so that dogs have room to roam without getting out, plenty of space to have fun and play lots of games.
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.
“Sarah was incredible! So attentive, our pups lover, she went above and beyond and her communication was amazing while we were away! Would definitely recommend her and will for sure be using her again.”
About: I’m a professional woman, early 40’s, no kids, no other pets, non-smoking home, and live in a townhome in Coto. I work from home when I’m not traveling to client sites- I’m a healthcare compliance consultant. I learned about Rover years ago after using it for my own former pets. My dogs: lab/pit mix, and a terrier mix, and two cats- all rescues. I also grew up with snakes, lizards and fish because I have a sister who is allergic to fur, so home-sitting reptiles is not a problem. As I mentioned, I travel often and don’t think having my own pet is a responsible, caring choice at this time. So, instead, I’d love to take care of your fur babies when I’m not traveling. Because I work from home, you can expect my 24/7 attention. During the day, conference calls can be taken during long walks, or I can work on my laptop from the dog park. I’d love to have them snooze at my feet in my office as I type away. In the evening it’s just Netflix and play. While I don’t have my own backyard, I’m just steps from one of our amazing trails, so frequent potty breaks are easy. I’m comfortable with animals on my furniture or co-sleeping. But I also am comfortable with crating as I did this with my larger dogs. Pets with special needs are welcome. Please supply any special toys, treats, food, and maybe even one of your old tee-shirts to help with the temporary transition. Also, I prefer to do a quick pre-sit meet and greet to ensure that everyone is comfortable, and you’re welcome to come see my home if I’ll be hosting. I work from home, so I am generally available 24/7. I will plan my schedule around a booking. I will never leave your pet home alone during a visit. If I need to step out I will do my best to alert you in advance and will have my pet-friendly boyfriend of 8 years step in for an hour or two. I really want to mirror your existing schedule as much as possible to prevent pet anxiety. Please leave instructions and I’m happy to follow them.

About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
“Kaylie was great!!! She was very friendly and quick to communicate with, and she did a thorough job with the instructions we left her for caring for our kitties. Our cats loved her too! Would definitely recommend Kaylie and hope to have her catsit for us again!”

Kylie was phenomenal in keeping consistent communication upon her arrivals and leaving with taking care of my rabbit. She was super friendly and followed through with instructions. I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone's fur baby care as they will be in good hands with Kylie!
Lauren watched my cat Lola for 10 days. From the start she was quick to respond to messages. Lauren always left detailed Rover cards with plenty of photos for me to view each day. I could tell Lola was happy and healthy! She even swept up Lola’s kitty litter tracks in the living room. I would happily book with her again.
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!
Mirna is so caring and attentive with our dog Levi and with us. She communicates very well with us about his care with small details we really appreciate. She is compassionate and adjusted our care schedule last minute since our car broke down while we were on vacation. We so appreciate her flexibility to care for our dog for another day because of our delay. We give Mirna our highest recommendation.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Trabuco Canyon is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,135 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Trabuco Canyon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trabuco Canyon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
