“Priscilla and Allen are amazing. I recently moved to Cali and don’t have anyone to watch my dog. I am so glad I met these two and my dog Jacks loves them too. Plenty of pictures and updates. Great feeling knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“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!”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“Radhika was wonderful and treated my pup really well. She kept me updated frequently and took many pictures of my boy - he came home really happy! Would highly recommend her boarding service to anyone!”
“Annie was great! Very thorough and always checked in with us and let us know how he was doing, what’s was going on with his day and sent us lots of pics. She was exactly what who we wanted to watch our Theo and will criminal use her again for our next vacation.”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Adrianna was great and Casper had the best time. I was going on a vacation and was able to get some great photos and updates throughout my trip. If I have to leave again for an extended period I would be happy to rebook another stay!”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Marleau! She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved since he has so much energy. She was in constant communication and sent photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to details, especially making sure he got his allergy medication. Marleau came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Claudia again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I’m equally happy to adjust my routine for a senior dog or a pet who prefers a quieter day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Another great stay with Lisa! Three dogs can be a lot, but she handles them with total grace every time. This time our smallest pup had an injury going into the stay and needed medication and rest. Lisa took care of everything perfectly. When we picked them up, the little one was back to normal. All three dogs were happy and cheerful, just like always. Lisa is the best and we are already looking forward to booking her again.”
“Roksana is so kind and professional! The moment I went to drop off my French bulldog, I got really good vibes from her. I could tell that my dog was in great hands. She was attentive as to what my dog’s specific needs were, and she updated me day-to-day with photos and text messages, telling me what my dog was up to. I would recommend Roksana to anyone who needs dog-sitting. I will be requesting her services for sure in the future. Thank you, Roksana!”
“We love Jocelyn ❤️ she was amazing with our Lalo. It was our first time leaving him and she put us at ease. We received lots of photos everyday and amazing communication. Yumi (Jocelyn dog) is the sweetest. We will definitely book again if needed. Thank you ❤️”

Radhika was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she suggested a great drop-off approach that made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. She asked fantastic questions beforehand about his needs, which really showed how much she cares about getting to know each dog individually. She also sent lots of updates throughout his stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Our dog had a wonderful little vacation with her, and we would absolutely recommend Radhika!

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!!!
Chris took great care of our 3 year old white shepherd and 10 month of maltipoo for 3 nights while we were out of town. He is an exceptional trainer and knows how to communicate with dogs as well as help you become better handler yourself. Our shepherd is an amazing dog but it takes her some time to get familiar and comfortable with other dogs and Chris did a great job handling her and making sure all dogs were safe. In the end they were all friends and were able to free roam with eachother! He also sent daily photos and videos.
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!!
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Aliso Viejo on Rover is $55.5 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,597 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Aliso Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Aliso Viejo sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Aliso Viejo landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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.
