“We are so glad that Radhika was able to take care of Willow while we were out of town! She kept us updated with Willow’s behavior and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would love for Radhika to watch Willow again!!”
“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!”
“Annie and her husband are down to Earth people with gentle souls, we immediately felt welcomed into their spotless home. I just felt it in my heart that she was “the one” to care for our little Buddy a senior dog. I received daily email updates and the sweetest photos of our dog napping peacefully as well as a cute photo shoot commercial, yes a commercial shoot. We will definitely use Annie again, when we can’t take our dog on vacation with is. Peace of mind is priceless, thank you Annie for allowing us to enjoy our little getaway knowing that Buddy was being well cared for and safe. Will definitely rebook.”

About: Hi! I’m Claudia, a dedicated pet sitter in Laguna Niguel, excited to officially start my Rover journey. I share my home with Wally, my almost-5-year-old Border Collie — an incredibly sweet, social dog who gets along beautifully with other pets. He’s playful, gentle, and has never been in a fight. He’s a wonderful companion and a calm, friendly presence for visiting dogs. We live in a quiet two-story condo with a fully fenced patio, just minutes from Laguna Niguel Regional Park and Yosemite Park — ideal for daily walks, enrichment, and social outings. Being outdoors is part of our routine, whether that’s longer walks and runs or relaxed strolls, always adapted to your pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m currently early-retired / on sabbatical (still figuring out the label!), which means I’m home full-time with a very flexible schedule. I live by myself, so your pet stays in a calm, predictable, adult-only environment with my full attention. Originally from Germany and based in Laguna Niguel since 2014, I value calm routines, clear communication, and thoughtful care. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to dogs — I’ve cared for friends’ dogs over the years as well as my sister’s dogs, including a German Shepherd and an Eurasier, and I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Coming from a senior leadership background, reliability, responsibility, and follow-through are second nature to me, and I bring those same qualities to caring for pets. You can expect reliable communication and daily photo updates — light paparazzi energy included 📸😉 My goal is simple: a safe, happy stay for your pet and complete peace of mind for you. ⭐ Why Book With Me? • 🏡 Calm, adult-only home — no kids, low-stress environment • ⏰ Home full-time — flexible schedule, minimal alone time • 🌿 Minutes from parks & trails — daily walks and outdoor enrichment • 🐕 Friendly resident Border Collie — social, gentle, and well-mannered • 🐾 Experience with small to large breeds — including German Shepherds • 📸 Daily photo updates — you’ll always know how your pet is doing • ❤️ Attentive, personalized care — routines adapted to each pet Pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m home full-time, so walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins are naturally built into my day and adjusted to each pet’s needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and calm companionship, with plenty of attention and regular photo updates to keep owners informed.
“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.”
“Cathleen is the sweetest and loveliest of caregivers. I have the highest regard for ALL communication which included candid pictures throughout Bowie's overnight stay. This left me with a relieved feeling knowing my loved pet was well-cared for. Highly recommend Cathleen.”
“I am so grateful to Muskaan and her family for taking Scotty in a last minute booking when we had our water shut off and he couldn't stay with us at the hotel! Scotty had a great vacation with several daily walks and cute videos of him looking at the Christmas lights, lots of love from the whole family, and careful care for his medication and diet. Would absolutely recommend and book again.”
“We love Wen this is our second time she’s watched my Puppy and won’t be the last. She sends lots of updates and Boaty was super excited to see her during drop off. Thank you Wen for taking such good care of my Boaty 🚤 🐾”
“Suman is a phenomenal sitter. She’s very responsive, sends plenty of photos and updates. My flight got delayed and had no issues accommodating and early drop off and a later pick-up. Turks and I will use her services again and again. Her daughter also took special care to give my baby love too!”
“Nika is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Viper and was very helpful and responsive. She also provides lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day which helped keep my mind at ease that my baby was being taken care of. Will definitely book with her again!”

Amazing dog sitter, Kobe stayed with Radhika for 4 nights. I am very picky about who I leave Kobe with, and I can tell he was SO well cared for and loved on! We had constant communication and lots of updates which made me so happy. She will treat your pet as her own, so much love and kindness. I will absolutely book her again!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lupita took excellent care of Louie as always, even on very last-minute notice when I had to travel for work to Nashville. She is incredibly accommodating, sweet, and reliable. She consistently keeps me updated with photos and texts, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always know Louie is happy, safe, and well cared for with her. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Suman is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We had gone to England to celebrate Xmas for two weeks and we could enjoy our trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my pet - Milo (Golden Doodle). Suman sent photos of Milo celebrating Xmas with her family - All I can say is WOW!!! - Milo has bonded with Suman's family, that was amazing!!! - I am totally impressed! I need never look for any other pet sitter or kennel ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus … Milo told me that Suman and her family took care of him so well that now he has another home he can go and stay!! Peter Pandya
Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.
Patricia took excellent care of our puppy while we were away the week of Thanksgiving. She sent several videos and pictures and treated her like she was her own dog. We have a nervous dog and Patricia was so caring and made her feel comfortable. I would definitely use Patricia’s care in the future.
Oscar took such wonderful care of our dog. He was very responsive to messages and gave plenty of updates, photos and even videos. We were very impressed with how he went the extra mile… he even had a dog bed ready for him! I would highly recommend booking a stay with Oscar.
Brian was amazing. He watched our 9 month old high energy puppy. It was our puppy's first time staying with anyone, so he was stressed and anxious and Brian was awesome. Lots of updates and pictures. He was a trooper with late night wake ups. Thank you Brian and your family for taking such great care of our baby.
Yongyi is wonderful! She took such amazing care of our little pup and provided great pics/videos/messages throughout her stay that clearly showed she was having a terrific time. As a bonus, there were a few other pups there during her stay which made it extra fun for her. I could tell she was very well cared for because she lingered in saying goodbye to Yongyi :) Yongyi is very kind, responsible, and communicative. It's never easy to be separated from your sweet furbaby, but it's much less difficult when you know they'll be treated as if they were one of the sitter's own. We're so grateful to Yongyi and will be back!
Lea and Alex were amazing with my little one. He gets very anxious when I’m not around, and I could say, by the pics and videos that they sent me while I was away, how much Makinho felt comfortable and safe with them. They were loving and caring, and treated Makinho as part of their family. Best part: now on, my little one has a safe place to go anytime I need to be absent for some reason.
Highly recommend! Gave our pup all the attention she needed, walked her w out us asking, used our special diet needs, helped with loading and unloading our folders a lil scared of going into the vehicle. She was very comforting to our baby. She was amazing!! We will def use her again..
Danielle was incredible with our dog, she took the time to meet and greet with our pup and made sure he was comfortable with the other dogs. She sent us regular photos and updates as well, which is really nice to have when you’re leaving your dog with someone. This is the best experience we’ve had so far in our area and we’ll definitely be hiring Danielle again in the future! - Rachel
