“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!”
“Lindy was so communicative and I trusted her immediately. She was patient with my teething puppy and continued with our training efforts while we were away. Thank you Lindy!”
“Our dogs were so well taken care of by Claudia while we were away. She was great with giving daily updates and photos throughout their stay. Not only did she do their daily walks but she also brought them to the park for playtime and socialization. We will definitely keep Claudia in mind the next time we need quality care for our dogs.”
“Thank you Homeira for taking care of Wally! This was his first time being boarded and I enjoyed the daily updates with the pictures/videos. Wally was drawn to her right away. 😊”
“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!”
“Jennifer took such loving care of my dog! She made our pup feel like he was in his second home. She was also great about sending lots of pics & videos every day, so we were never worried while we were away. We will definitely rebook with her!!”
“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.”
“Summer was amazing with my dog over a long boarding (around 2 weeks)! She sent photos and communicated how my pup was doing ? And her dog is a perfect friend for any dog who ends up staying with Summer! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Ellie and her family spoiled our dog Jager. He enjoyed a great deal of walks and playing. They even offered him a bigger and more supportive bed than the one I brought over. We will see if Ellie and her family are available to dogsit Jager again the next time we go out-of-town.”
“Elmira loves pets and took very good care of Ruby, and sent me lots of videos and photos of her while I was away, which was much appreciated, letting me see how Ruby was doing. She is very interested in learning what your pets are used to and trying to provide that, and is very responsive to any comments or concerns.”
“Winston had a great time with Temi for the weekend! Temi was extremely communicative and sent frequent updates! Winston had a packed weekend with lots of playtime and adventuring and I’m sure he’s looking forward to staying with he 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 had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish.

She is loving, patient, and communicates well. We will definitely be using Laurie's services in the future.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
“Fantastic experience in every capacity. Luana took exceptional care of my dog. She treats your dog as if it is her own. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Just wonderful. It was as if my dog had it's own little vacation experience at her home too. My dog was so happy to be there.”

Robert and Karolina took amazing care of my senior dog, Peyton, who still requires special attention after knee surgery in July. Robert and Karolina were so attentive and thoughtful to Peyton's care and kept me updated on his stay. Peyton also immediately liked Robert and Karolina and I could tell from the photos that he enjoyed his time with them which is everything to me when choosing care for Peyton. So very grateful to have found Robert and Karolina!
Chris is our go-to dog sitter. He is very accommodating and very attentive to our complicated pup. He understands dogs well and gives them all of his attention. I don’t trust many people with her, but I never have to worry about our dog while she is there - I know we are in good hands with Chris.
Radhika was great with my senior dog! She was patient with him as he adjusted to a new space and administered his medication on time. My dog had so much fun while he was there, he almost didn’t want to leave! She also sent many photos and updates so I never worried about him while we were away.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Aliso Viejo is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $90 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
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, 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 , 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 .
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.
