Yeji is a compassionate care giver, knowledgeable when it comes to working with cats and highly professional. She is responsive, a great communicator, and our cat loved her. She completed 2 drop in visits per day while we were away and provided updates about each visit. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pet and look forward to working with her again. Thank you Yeji!

About: As someone who has grown up with dogs my whole life, I know how special the bond is between you and your pet. It can be scary to trust a stranger to take care of your animal and I recognize the responsibility that comes with that task. I have taken care of dogs who were rescued and have a history of abuse (and aggression as a result), as well as dogs in their elderly years. I have an 8-year old chihuahua named Luna who is my whole world. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect that I treat my own with! I’m currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I’m committed to finding time to care for your pets! I have availability everyday. I believe that you know your pet better than anyone. I know how important it is to maintain a routine and I follow all instructions provided to make sure that your animal is cared for just as you would do yourself!

About: I've taken care of mostly small to medium size dogs since I was 11 years old. I have also fostered a dog for two months. I've pet sit for my friends in the LA area for years and I'm normally their go to person for dog sitting. I work from for my family business Monday and Fridays so I can help with home stay and pet sitting during long weekends. My work is flexible on Mondays and Fridays so I can also provide dog walking services during the day. I’m located mainly in the Aliso Viejo/Laguna Niguel Area. There are a couple dog friendly parks in my area as well. I prefer dogs with no bite histories or resource guarding. I also prefer dogs that are potty trained but I can be flexible with puppies in the process of potty training. Unfortunately I cannot care for dogs with medical issues (such as physical disabilities).

I wish I could give Caroline more than 5 stars! She was absolutely fantastic with our pets (a chihuahua and kitty). She was always on time, sending plenty of great photos and videos. One thing I also really loved was that she would show that they had finished their food, and she had replenished with new meals and fresh water. Her updates were lovely and overall I would 100% use Carolines services again. Thank you so much for helping take care of our babies while we were away!! :)

About: During my senior year of high school I started volunteering at my local county animal shelter. Over the summer, I was working with dogs 8 hours a week in addition to my self managed swim lesson business and swim team practices. I also own and have fostered senior dogs! As much as I love to play with energetic young dogs, seniors are just as great ;) Fish are another specialty of mine! I have been keeping fish since I was six so if you have pet fish they are in good hands :) I am currently a college student and I am on my college swim team. My schedule is flexible and I have a reliable car. I am happy to stay overnight in clients homes. Before I moved to college my dogs had access to a large fenced yard and lived with us in the home. They were taken out on daily walks. Additionally, I have a beagle at home so I am very good at keeping food out of reach. At the animal shelter I volunteered at I would use positive reinforcement with the dogs to help train them.

About: I used to take care of stray cats and dogs before moving to the U.S. it was a traumatizing but at the same time rewarding experience. I should say that I am considered a beginner to private pet sitting but I love animals and therefore believe that I have the right foundation to learn and grow fast. I’m currently starting at a full time Saturday through Tuesday esthetician program and I’ll only be able to offer services everyday between 5:30 and 10:30 pm. On Sundays and Mondays I’ll be available all day. I don’t offer pet care at my own place, but for any session outside or at a client’s place I’ll probably try to communicate with the pet parent about their pet’s needs, preferences, and potentially high risk behaviors. I’d like my attitude to lean towards customizing the service routine for each pet to keep the experience safe and satisfying for them and the others.

I can’t say enough positive things about Kenya. She always comes when she says she will and goes above and beyond with our fur babies. Our pets actually like her more than us now. She is very trustworthy- which is hard to find these days.....I feel like I won the pet helper lottery with Kenya. If you are looking for the best, look no further.

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.

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and at ease. I am very comfortable interacting with dogs of different sizes and personalities. Dogs naturally gravitate toward me, and I enjoy giving plenty of affection, gentle attention, and rubs, and with owner permission, the occasional treat. I always take care to respect each dog’s boundaries, routine, and training. My approach to dog care is calm, attentive, and safety focused. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and cues, and I believe that consistency, kindness, and positive interactions go a long way in helping dogs feel secure. Whether it is a walk, a drop in visit, or companionship while you are away, my goal is to ensure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am available from early mornings through mid afternoon on weekdays, with additional availability in the evenings and on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so that pet visits and walks are never rushed and can be handled consistently around my commitments. This structure allows me to be dependable, responsive, and fully present during each visit while maintaining a routine that works well for both pets and their owners. I provide all pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I believe caring for pets in their own environment helps reduce stress and allows me to deliver more consistent, attentive care. During each visit, I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, litter or potty routines, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to observe behavior, energy levels, and overall well being, and I adjust my approach to match each pet’s personality and comfort level. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for the home. This includes securing doors and gates, keeping feeding and litter areas tidy, and ensuring pets are comfortable before I leave. I also provide updates during visits so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they are away. I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Aliso Viejo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Aliso Viejo on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 8,362 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Aliso Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Aliso Viejo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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