“Taylor has been great with our very large dog. He is so excited when he sees her and she is always upfront when she needs to adjust her regular schedule. Would highly recommend!”
“Laura took good care of our Coco while we were away for a week - walked and played with her, gave her food and medicine, also willing to get our mail and kept us up to date. Felt like our girl was in good hands!!”
“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”
About: I've had a dog for 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, walk, feed, and/or check in on their fur babies. Currently job searching so have all the free time in the world to look after your dogs! They will be my number one priority when they are in my care! I live in a home with a fenced yard and very safe, walkable neighborhood. I am available for whatever service needed, including pet-sitting, walking, check-ins, feedings, etc.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I am Animal Care Certified. I can take care of birds, cats, lizards and dogs. I take care of animals daily. I feed and play with them everyday. If I’m needed to help with the pets, I need a full day’s notice for transportation needs. I care for the animals in my household by having set feeding times and lots of cuddles. With the dogs, I make sure we get lots of playtime.
“There are not enough stars for this review!! Daniel is awesome!! I was in a pinch to find the right person to care for our 9mo old Malinois/Doberman pup Jager. I was already very encouraged by Daniel’s background. This was a very last minute same day request, I reached out very early in the morning and heard back right away from Daniel. Not only available but made time for a meet and greet within the hour before caring for our pup in the afternoon. Prior to his arrival my pup was 82lbs of full throttle puppy energy. Upon arrival Jager was still amped, I thought for sure this sitter is going run for the hills. Nope, Daniel was so calming and knew how to handle my rowdy Jager’s greeting. Was so reassuring and I felt confident seeing how he helped de-escalate Jager that he would do great. Daniel arrived right on time handled Jager right away and no issues with Mom and Dad departing. While out Jager had a blast with Daniel. Not only did Daniel walk and play with Jager he sent pictures of their adventures Jager was so happy!! We came home to a calm relaxed Jager. When Daniel left Jager had to see his new friend off, he only does this with family members, welcome to our pack Daniel!! I’m so happy we found you!! Jager can’t wait to play again!!”
“Susan is WONDERFUL! Penny adores her and is always tired out after her walks, which gives me time to relax after a long work day! I appreciate how responsible Susan is. That can be hard to find, I’ve sadly noticed. I will be happy to use Susan whenever I can for my Penny Girl!”
“Julia helped us on a last minute request to walk and feed our dog. She was so sweet with him and my dog immediately took to her kind nature. She was very communicative and took great pics. My dog was belly up loving all the attention. I would definitely recommend Julia and will be requesting her help again.”

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 have experience caring for St. Bernards, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, and Bulldogs. I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds and understand their different needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and personality. Safety, patience, and reliability are my top priorities. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and enjoyable. I’m mostly home and available to walk your dog during the standard work day! I’m also a mom and play taxi driver to our girls! I would make sure the yard is secured or the house as well as keep your pup on leash for walks! Look forward to meeting your dog(s)!
About: My mom raised me from the beginning about being gentle and empathetic towards animals. She showed me how to care for all types of animals and give them the very best lives we could. I’ve cared and pet sat since i was 12. I got my first full pet sitting gig in my neighborhood for a whole week. Ever since then, I have loved caring for animals and am extremely passionate about giving them the upmost care they deserve. Because they’re family too! I have three cats and a dog myself so I can relate to you on a relatable level! I currently don’t have a day job as I have a chronic illness, and taking care of animals is exactly what i love doing. looking to be around animals and help people who need animal care is my goal. So I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of pets all over the oc area. My schedule is very open and accommodating to all in need of care. Pet care is extremely important to me, I love to take my own dog to the park and let him run and run and run. My cats I actively brush them, clean their ears, litter, etc. I own a double coated dog so I often spend time brushing him in the backyard and tossing a ball back and forth.
About: I know the importance of caring deeply for our own pets. I’d only want the same for your own pet care needs. I have a senior Chihuahua that is now 13, almost 14 in January and a 2 in a half year old French Bull Dog. It’s been 4 in a half years now that our Blue Nose Pitbull passed. I have experience with different size dogs with all different characteristics, that have been my own dogs and other pets I have cared for have been different sizes and breads. I currently work full time hybrid. Saturday and Sundays I am open to any availability you may need. Monday through Friday I am available anytime after 3:30 PM. On my hybrid days I may be flexible for pet care needs. Please feel free to inquire if you have any questions. The love and care I have for my own pets is so important to me but even more their safely, trust, and environment even more. Our pets are more than likely more comfortable in their own home so if you prefer any pet care in your open I am definitely open to that so that you too feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Ranch
Sydnie and Jake are the best! I feel like they are both great with dogs and so kind and considerate. It makes me feel great that she’s a nurse and not only gets my lifestyle (night shift) but is trustworthy. I love the little paragraph that they write about how the walk went and the pics they give after the walk. & my mini dachshund Chico loves them!
Austin was easy to communicate with, friendly, go-with-the-flow, on time, and very trustworthy. My mother in law felt very comfortable with him and our dogs appreciated his willingness to take them on familiar walking paths. Would definitely recommend and rehire.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Ladera Ranch is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 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.

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 Ladera Ranch. 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 Ladera Ranch 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 Ladera Ranch. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
