“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Lorelle was so attentive to our dog Gracie and sent updates with photos daily. I have never felt so good about leaving my dog! Lorelle was excellent and I highly recommend. Feel so blessed to have found her!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Radhika always does a wonderful job taking care of our pug, Bosco. Radhika watched him for 2.5 weeks and updated me everyday with photos and messages. She even gave him a bath! She is super trustworthy and a great communicator, and Bosco adores her.”
“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!”
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”
“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.”
“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.”
“Emma was a pleasure to work with and kept us up to date with pictures and texts! She accommodated our last minute request. We will definitely use her services again in the near future.”
“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”
“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”
“John took exceptional care of our dog, Ollie. He was fantastic with him and kept us updated throughout the stay with frequent messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. John made sure Ollie ate well, spent plenty of time playing with him, and provided the attention and care he needed. He was always responsive, professional, and courteous. It’s clear that John genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in the way he cared for Ollie. We would happily trust him with Ollie again and highly recommend him to others.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
“May (Homeira) was absolutely wonderful with Shadow, especially on New Year’s Eve. From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he was genuinely loved and well cared for. Shadow had the freedom to enjoy her beautiful garden and felt comfortable and at home in her space, which means everything to me as a dog parent. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for with warmth, patience, and attention. I’m incredibly thankful for May and would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

Marisela took such great care of my senior pup...she kept him on schedule with all his meds, recognized his need for some extra attention and slept with him to provide him comfort. This was our first time leaving him with someone he wasn't familiar with and she eased my mind! Definitely recommend her, we've already booked another stay for our boy.
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.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Emma! Leaving my dogs for 18 days was a big deal for me, but she instantly put my mind completely at ease. Because of her, I was actually able to unplug, relax, and truly enjoy my vacation! She was absolutely amazing with the dogs and provided perfect, loving care. She even went completely above and beyond when one of my dogs stopped eating the food I had prepared—she actually cooked for them to make sure they were fed, healthy, and happy! Without fail, she sent me daily updates and photos every single day, which I looked forward to so much. Our dogs were perfectly happy and doing great when I returned. If you need someone who is incredibly kind and will care for your pets as if they were her own, look no further. She is an absolute gem!
I cannot say how wonderful this experience was. Communication was excellent. Multiple pictures sent without asking. I think my dog liked it there better than Home. I cannot recommend this Rover more. I will definitely use them again and I suggest you do as well.! if I could give six stars, I would
Jonathan was great with Charlie! He treated our dog like he was his own, which we really appreciated and made a huge difference in easing our nerves while we were away. He sent multiple pictures every day and kept us consistently updated, not just on how Charlie was doing physically, but also on his behavior and overall mood. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such great hands. We would definitely have Charlie stay with Jonathan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Claudia was wonderful with our Callie. She has a lovely home with a large yard where the dogs were able to run and play. She also took them to a local dog park to play and socialize with other dogs. Callie came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and will certainly go back to her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Aliso Viejo on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,546 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.
