“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Radhika took such great care of our pug Bosco. She throughly cleaned his face folds every night, cleaned his ears and brushed his teeth. He went on two walks a day and seems very happy. I’ll be booking with Radhika again!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with someone other than family, so we were naturally a little nervous. Lili was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She kept us updated with so many photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and the best care. We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust. We highly recommend Lili and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Wen is a fantastic sitter. She kept me updated and took great care of my dog, sending many pictures and videos. My dog came back tired too so I know she had a good time. I'd like to use Wen in the future.”
“Lindy took great care of my dog. It was the first time we boarded her at someone’s home and Lindy made sure Ginger had everything she needed- food, exercise, and lots of love. Lindy also sent photos and updates to make sure I knew Ginger was doing fine. I would highly recommed Lindy to take care of your pets too!”
“My dog Chloe seems so calm and happy since having stayed with Daley for 4 days. This was my first time booking with Daley. She seems very knowledgeable about dogs and has such a calm demeanor about her. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”
“Annie was AWESOME!!! She did a Great Job. Luigi loved her! Annie is very conscientious, and professional! She is a great communicator. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care! I highly recommend her!”
“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”
“Ramya and Anand were amazing hosts..they were warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. They made Poppy feel completely at home, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. The communication was easy, and full of care, making the whole experience effortless.”
“Tucker loves going to Suman’s house! We get updates and pictures the whole time he’s there. There is great communication back and forth and she always responds quickly. She is very understanding and was able to get him in on short notice for us! Highly recommend❤️”
“I I had a last minute meeting that I had to go out of town for and Tara responded immediately. When I met her and her darling little Shih Tzu I felt immediately at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the day and communicated that Luna was doing great would absolutely recommend leaving your precious pup with Tara.”
“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“We have used Patricia several times and she always provides the best service! She treats our dog, Penelope, like her own and shares lots of updates (photos & videos). Penelope loves her time with Patty and her dog, which leaves us at ease when we travel.”

Chris is amazing. He’s very attentive and truly aware and focused on providing the best care you each pup. My dogs are quirky. I received texts following up on their behavior to make sure it’s normal for them. Totally was! I am 100% sure that my babies were well and truly taken care of as if they were home.
Radhika was amazing! We have a high energy dog with leash reactivity so we are anxious about leaving her with a sitter. With her background as a dog trainer, Radhika understood our dog’s needs and was fully capable of handling her around triggers. Our dog was comfortable and well cared for and she sent many updates and pictures so we never felt anxious the whole time we were away! Highly recommend!
The best place to start this is to say Marisela is the BEST!!! She has a heart of gold and took such wonderful care of our little boy Mr. Banks twice...and this last time she went above & beyond. Our boy was a 13 y/o Mini Schnauzer with a few health issues that were well controlled with meds. She was diligent with his meds and he was doing well with her. Unfortunately he started having seizures while he was with her, she got him to the vet and stayed with him. Although they thought they had the seizures under control they started up again and we had to make the hard decision to have him put down before we could get home. Marisela & her husband got his bed, blankie & toys around him, stayed with him, comforted him and had us on speaker phone the whole time so we could talk to him and be part of the process, albeit remotely. We all cried together when he took his last breath, and then she held and cuddled him until they took him away. I know how stressful it was for her & her husband to deal with all this situation presented but they showed our boy the love we would have if we could have gotten home in time. It was painful for us to not be there, but having Marisela & her husband there to hold and comfort our boy was the next best thing. We will definitely seek out her services again when we get our next pup...I trust her completely!
I couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Ekaterina. Her family was so kind and welcoming, and they made my dog feel right at home for a full month. He got tons of love, attention, and cuddles. It was such a relief knowing he was in the best hands! Highly recommend!!!
We had a wonderful first experience with Ayami and will trust our dog again with her when we travel! Our small dog stayed in her home and was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the visit. Since our dog was already familiar with her, the transition was easy and stress-free, which gave us great peace of mind. She clearly loves animals and provided a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. We appreciated the attention and care she gave our dog, and it was reassuring to know our beloved dog was in such good hands.
Kendall was an absolute gem! We are so grateful we found her and Tanner. They took exceptional care of our Reggie and treated him as her own. He was so well cared for, happy, and comfortable while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious our baby was getting plenty of love and attention. She sent him home with a precious report card too! Such a nice and thoughtful touch! We highly recommend Kendall and Tanner to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly incredible dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Soraya is a wonderful dog sitter! She and her husband took such good care of Winter while we were away. They treated him like he was their own dog, pampering him with so much love, attention, and care. My family and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and so well looked after. We are so grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend Soraya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

95% of sitters in Aliso Viejo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Aliso Viejo 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 Aliso Viejo.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Aliso Viejo 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.
