About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.

“Shannon was fantastic! Needed my Dobie fed and walked for 2 days while I was away 6am - 8pm. After an initial meet & greet, I felt Shannon was right for the job and she exceeded expectations. In addition to providing the necessary poop & pee report, she added additional commentary and plenty of photos. Bianca seemed happy each night when I returned home. I will definitely use Shannon again when needed.”

About: I have some valuable pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and two hamsters. Additionally, I've helped friends by looking after their cats while they were on vacation. I've also had the opportunity to witness the growth and training of my close friend's retriever. While my experience may be limited, it has given me insights into the responsibilities and joys of pet care. Currently, I find myself in the midst of preparing for my dream career as a UX/UI designer, which means I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your furry friends any day of the week. ❤️ Unconditional Love: Every tail wag, purr, or nuzzle warms my heart. I believe in giving pets the love and attention they deserve, just as if they were my own. 🚶‍♂️ Walks Full of Joy: For your energetic pups, I offer more than just walks; I offer adventures! We'll explore, play, and have a blast together. 🏠 Home Sweet Home: For all your pets, I provide drop-in visits right in the comfort of their own home. There's nothing like familiar surroundings to keep them relaxed and content. 🤗 Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether they're shy, outgoing, or have special requirements, I'm here to cater to them. 📸 Updates Galore: Expect regular photo and text updates during my visits, so you can see just how much fun we're having together.

About: Owned dogs for 20 years, but due to previous work travel, haven’t been able to own any recently. Hoping for kid-friendly families so my kids can understand how much care is required. I’m currently on “funemployment”, so I’m fairly open in my schedule for now. In the future this may change, but for now I can take last-minute requests down the most part. In a client’s home, I would maintain whatever requests or rules you have laid out, and I would communicate immediately if I have a question. I am currently not hosting animals in my own home.

About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.

About: I provide both dog and cat sitting services. I have two cats of my own and have experience taking care of dogs!

My current work is also flexible and per diem, so I’m usually available for pet sitting and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule! I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home and space, and keep things clean and secure while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’ll make sure their care is tailored to what works best for them. I’m always happy to answer any questions or discuss anything that will help you feel comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care.

About: Hi, My name is Lita, I’m new on rover but well experienced in the dog world. I currently own a very special boy Doberman pincher. His name is Griffin and he is 6 1/2 years old. I’ve had him since the age of one. He is a rescue that survived a gunshot went to a shelter then to a foster who couldn’t handle him and back to the shelter. Then to his final destination which was ME! Nowadays, Griffin is thriving, and is known to be the best behaved and well trained dog in the neighborhood, as well as the most loved at the vet. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time and effort, making sure that Griffin will live up to his potential And become the best possible dog. I also take care of Eros, a European champion line, German Shepherd, who weighs as much as I do if not more. After nearly 5 years of taking care of him, he and his family are like my own. I’ve been around dogs and learned proper care and handling since childhood, as my family used to breed Airedale Terriers and French bulldogs. I live a bi- coastal life (part Southern California part south Florida) which means that if you see my availability open on here, my schedule would be wide open to take care of your dog/s, and I won’t be leaving for extended periods of time to work. I’m happy to take them with me anywhere like parks, hikes, the beach, car rides etc. And will be providing them with all the enrichment and exercise they want and or need :) looking forward to working with you! I have a fitness business in south Florida that I return to but When I’m in California, my schedule is nearly wide open and this dog sitting will take priority. I would be with them as much as needed and can take them with me places. I provide very knowledgeable handling, care, and attention. Dogs THRIVE on structure and I am the best at it. I’m extremely disciplined with my dog, and can follow any routine with yours too.

About: My name is Viktoriya, and I absolutely adore all animals. I have nearly 30 years of experience caring for them, and a deep, intuitive connection with every animal I meet. I truly feel what they need—whether it’s comfort, play, calm, or affection. And they feel it too. Animals naturally trust me, and I treasure that trust with all my heart. Since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and more. I grew up helping take care of them every day: feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and just being a loving presence. My grandparents had a home filled with all kinds of animals, from rabbits and homing pigeons to cows and pigs, and I loved every moment spent caring for them. Although I dream of having my own dog one day, my current housing situation doesn’t allow it. That’s why Rover is so special to me—it gives me the chance to care for your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. My primary occupation is making desserts to order, and I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule to your pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding times, walks, or just keeping them company. With me, your pet will feel safe, loved, and truly cared for. I see them not just as animals, but as little souls who deserve kindness and joy every single day❤️ I work from home creating Vegan desserts. Because of that, I get to spend almost all day at home — either in the kitchen making something delicious or working at my computer — and that means your pet will never be alone. I absolutely love spending time with furry (or not so furry!) friends. I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, or just be there to keep them company. I can also stay overnight if needed — it’s important to me that your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed, even when you’re away. Every animal is unique, and I always try to connect with each one individually. With me, your pet will get lots of love, attention, and a calm, cozy atmosphere💫 Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always make sure the environment is calm, secure, and free of anything that could be dangerous or stressful. I follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines to leash preferences — and I take the time to get to know your pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a shy kitty or an energetic pup, I do my best to create a peaceful space where they can feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: If you're looking for a responsible adult who you can entirely trust with your pet while you're away, it's me! If it's housesitting you're looking for, I'll leave your place exactly how I've found it ☺️ I have a mini goldendoodle who I love (obviously). I care about every single pet like they are my own. True story. I'll treat your furry child like my own ❤️ Ps: I take amazing pictures of your pet ☺️ My schedule is flexible. I walk my own dog several times a day without rushing where we leave no tree unsniffed. I'd be happy to help during the week or weekend. I have easy access to a park that's walking distance and several potty spots that are only a few seconds away. Your dog will never have to hold it for long when they are with me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Aliso Viejo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Aliso Viejo is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 8,322 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Aliso Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Aliso Viejo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Aliso Viejo after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aliso Viejo. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
