About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.

“Keishla is such a sweetheart! I booked with her for housesitting and taking care of my dogs. She was VERY good with both my dogs. One is a 12 year old maltipoo, and the other is a 2 year old working line German shepherd. She walked them, fed them according to their schedules, played with them and spoke to them, gave them cuddles. She was very gentle, but knew how to be firm with commands as needed (my German shepherd needs a firmer command). She also watered the plants, and cleaned after herself and the doggies before she left. She kept me updated daily with detail and photos. 10/10 recommend her!”

About: I love taking care and spending time with your pets as if they’re my own. Being patient is one of my main character traits that allow me to be empathetic towards animals. I personally live with two cats and as a full time college student I made it crucial to still give them the attention and care that they need. Before class in the morning they’re fed and in the evening I’m able to give them my full attention. Mostly free mornings and late evenings but still consistently keep a flexible schedule so feel free to ask questions ! I first make sure to make specific mental notes on what needs my cats need before doing anything. For clients I am making sure the environment is clean and cleaned up after while respecting each space I step into so that all parties are satisfied.

About: I promise to treat your dog just like it's my own. I have always been a huge animal lover and an even bigger lover of dogs. Your dog will have fun playing with toys and getting lots of attention during his/her stay. I stay home full time so your dog will have my full attention and will never be left alone. I will send daily check in updates on how your dog is doing, along with pictures and short videos of your dog as well. So you can rest assured that in my care your dog will be in great hands while you are away! I currently don't do anything else but dog sitting meaning your dog will not be left alone and will always have my full attention during their stay. I do not require dogs to be in a crate they are free to roam and sleep wherever they would like. I am sure to watch closely that your pup does not eat anything they are not supposed to. I do not have a fenced yard but rest assured while on walks/potty breaks I am very alert and watchful to your pup and surroundings. They will be safe with me at all times.

About: I’ve spent the past year caring for pets, including helping care for a sick dog, where I followed specific instructions to make sure they were okay. That experience made me even more patient and attentive. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have school on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 12 PM, but outside of that my schedule is flexible. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including walks, feeding, and check-ins. I make sure pets get consistent attention and care, and I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to their routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you're away. I take safety very seriously, making sure it's a clean and secure place. I always pay close attention and follow all care instructions.

About: I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Growing up we had two labs and my neighbor fostered great danes, so I am very experienced with caring for large breeds. I often cared for my neighbors pets while they were out of town, so I have experience caring for a wide range of pets from cats and dogs to chickens and pigs. I work mostly remote, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I typically take pets on a long walk 2 times a day, in the morning and around 6-7pm. I am very responsible and detail oriented. I am pet friendly and very happy to let pets roam and sit on furniture, but am also able to crate train if desired. I am also very active and would love to take your pet on walks and hikes with me, but would also be happy relaxing at home keeping your pet company.

I have a gated backyard and the dogs can roam freely inside the house. Dogs are free to sleep on bed. At the client’s home, I will abide by their preferences.

About: ✨ Insured 🐶 Small & Medium Boutique Dogs + Rescue Pups 📍 Catering to small-medium sized Boutique Dogs and Rescues of East Sac, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst & Midtown 🍼 Puppies Welcome 🐈 Kitties too! (Up to 4 at a time!) 🐾 30+ Years of Experience ⭐ 5-Star Treatment 📋 References available 🐾 Puppies!! Kitties!! Doggies!!—Oh My! Since I was a kid I’ve always had a furry best friend by my side. I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. My specialty is small- to medium-sized boutique dogs and rescue pups, providing personalized care to the furry residents of East Sacramento, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst, and Midtown. As a resident of these areas myself, I know the neighborhoods, streets, parks, and walking areas well, so your pets will be cared for by someone who is truly local and familiar with the territory. I provide individualized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m especially patient with shy, timid, or cautious rescue pups and love earning their trust at their own pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, cozy couch snuggles, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to be their stand-in best friend while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean, tidy, and secure, respect your belongings and privacy, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner. .My specialties include expert belly rubs, enthusiastic walks, championship treat-giving (with permission!), and a Ph.D. in sweet animal baby talk. 🐶🐱💕 And kitties are welcome, too! I’m happy to provide meals, playtime, litter care, affection, and companionship—while fully understanding that cats generally prefer to be the ones in charge. 😸 Personalized care, happy pets & peace of mind—because your boutique babies and rescues deserve 5-star treatment! I’m currently finishing my degree in Social Work at American River College. I do have to go to campus (15 mins away) 4 days a week-Mon-Thursday from 10am-1pm. I prefer to work from anywhere with a reliable Wi-Fi connection, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while staying on top of my coursework. At the moment, I have a very open and flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also have reliable transportation, so whether your pets need walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or house sitting, I’m dependable and happy to help! Every pet is different, and I think that’s what makes this so much fun! I always like to meet in person or on zoom beforehand getting to know you and you getting to know me and of course learning about your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and favorite spots to be scratched before I even start. ***My goal is to make your time away feel as normal and stress-free for them as possible.*** Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, going on long walks, playing fetch until we’re both tired, giving medications, or simply curling up on the couch for a cuddle session, I’m all in. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep it clean, secure, and cared for, bring in the mail, water plants if needed, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner! My job is to make sure you come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and absolutely nothing to worry about. That’s the kind of peace of mind I’d want if someone were caring for my own furry family members.

About: All of my life I've grown up with animals. (Dogs, specifically.) Before I went off to college my cousin, whom I'd been living with at the time, adopted a german shepherd. This german shepherd, Bauer, became like my own. I watched him go from tiny little puppy, to this massive energetic and sweet protector. I am experienced in most areas surrounding pet ownership and responsibilities. I am very nurturing and energetic, making me just the person to take care of your cherished. I follow instruction well, and I'm also experienced in cat care as well. Just a few years ago I adopted two kittens, Panther and Jaguar, who both grew up very quickly. Unfortunately, I had to move a few momths ago and could not accommodate for them both. I, then, made the decision to leave them in the good hands of my neighbor at the time. Lastly, I am a Sociology student at Santa Rosa Junior College with an interest in basic needs, equity, and how pets play a vital role in overall health. I'm currently working on research involving these topics! I work from home and I have a 2 year old. With that being said, I’m up early and my schedule is pretty flexible given my toddler keeps me on my toes! My apartment building is indoor so no worries necessarily about your fur baby if they’re escape artists. I don’t have a balcony or yard so we’ll just get that leash on and go explore!

I almost don’t want to leave this review so that we can have Marissa for ourselves! We have ALOT going on with our old girls health and leaving her with a sitter really made us nervous but we had to for a family event last minute. Marissa was so amazing with our girls. Our older girl stopped walking a week ago due to vestibular issue but when Marissa came back the second day, she tried to walk to the door to greet her. I think that’s all the review she needs. We will definitely be calling her back for future sittings. Thank you for being so kind and loving our babies while we were out!

I can’t say enough good things about Marina. She is so sweet and incredibly responsive. She was always quick to reply and updated me throughout the day with messages and adorable pictures of Shiloh. Shiloh had an accident during the visit, and Marina was so kind and understanding and took care of cleaning it up without any issues at all (which I truly appreciated 🥺) Marina was also right on time despite having a very early start time, which really showed her reliability. I felt completely at ease knowing Shiloh was in such caring hands. Highly, highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

She kept the house clean, made sure the dogs were walked regularly,even in cold weather, and went above and beyond by cleaning up the backyard. Our dogs clearly enjoyed having her around, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laguna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Laguna is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 2,782 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laguna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Laguna walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Laguna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Laguna choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
