About: I’ve grown up in an animal-filled home and currently have three dogs of my own. For the past two years, I’ve been a dog sitter/dog walker, and have provided services such as; drop-in visits, doggy daycare, overnight house sitting, bathing, and walks. I love being around animals and want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! I’m available 6 days a week, excluding Mondays, from 11 AM to 10 PM. I’m currently looking for part-time work and would love to help fill my schedule by caring for animals! I have a fenced backyard, a bunch of toys and treats, and two friendly dogs who love to play. I can separate dogs if needed.

About: I truly understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a member of your family. I'm attentive, patient, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My famous hat that I love to wear reads, "easily distracted by dogs". One thing that is especially important to me is respecting every pet parents' wishes. Your rules are my rules. Whether that means specific walking routines, leash requirements, feeding instructions, avoiding certain dog areas, crate routines, or simply knowing your pups' little quirks. I'll never assume I know your dog better than you do. Safety is something I take very seriously, especially on walks and outside of the home. I stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and follow the boundaries you've put in place. Beyond keeping them safe, I want your pup to feel loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. I have a pretty flexible schedule which allows me to easily make pet care a natural part of my day. I'm available throughout the week and can customize my schedule around your pet's normal routine whenever possible. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or a little extra time for play and cuddles, I'm happy to work with what keeps your pet happiest and most comfortable. Consistency is important, so I'll always do my best to keep their day feeling just like it does when you're home. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I provide care in your pet's own home and neighborhood, where they can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I believe you know your pet best, so I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, routines, boundaries, and any special do's and don'ts. During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and keep your dog safely secured and supervised. For drop-ins and overnight stays, I'll respect both your pet and your home while keeping their routine as familiar and consistent as possible. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being cared for exactly as you've requested. With plenty of pictures and updates along the way.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and caring for my own German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable with large, energetic breeds and understand the importance of exercise, structure, patience, and individual attention. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic grooming, maintaining routines, and making sure dogs are comfortable and well cared for. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. Caring for dogs is already a regular part of my daily routine with my own two German Shepherds. I’m used to making time throughout the day for feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to making sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. Safety and comfort are always my priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. As an experienced owner of two German Shepherds, I’m comfortable handling large and energetic dogs while also being patient with dogs that may need time to adjust. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, and exercise.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, so my background is closely connected to health, medications, biology, and careful observation. My training has made me very attentive to details such as changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, hydration, and daily routine, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules when needed. This scientific background naturally carries over into how I care for pets—I tend to notice small changes, keep routines consistent, and take safety and wellbeing seriously. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own friendly Beagle and provide regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I am available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard that I specifically designed with my dog in mind. I wanted him to have a safe and comfortable outdoor space for potty breaks, playtime, exploring, and relaxing, so the backyard was planned to be both secure and easy for dogs to enjoy under supervision. I understand how important routine and a comfortable environment are, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates, photos, and videos. Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other dogs since I have a male Beagle at home. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly, well-socialized Beagle, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining a consistent routine. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like a member of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos.

“Ana is amazing! She is meticulous, goes above and beyond, and truly allows me to enjoy my vacation knowing she’s taking care of my cats. She adores all of my pets and they adore her. The only downside of having Ana watch my cats is they barely miss me while I’m gone 😊 10/10!”

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: I’ve always lived with dogs and have spent more than half my life caring for them! Because I am constantly surrounded by pets, I have learned how to fully commit myself to their needs, I am very comfortable working with dogs of every size and personality. I am also always more than happy to adapt my routine to learn exactly how to best care for your specific pet. When I come over to look after your dogs, play with them, take them on a walk, I will dedicate all of my time to making sure they feel loved and cared for. I would love to have the chance to take them to the dog park, as it is a great way for them to get some exercise and interact with other animals while you are away. I have a dog of my own at home—a german shepherd who is full of energy and curiosity, so I am very experienced in keeping active dogs happy and healthy. I’m currently only in school, so I have a bunch of free time for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings I prioritize safety and trust by strictly following all necessary protocols, such as keeping toxic foods completely out of reach. I will provide you with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I will ensure that I leave your home and living space in the cleanest condition possible.

About: My pet care history is broad from cats to dogs. My childhood dog required senior care due to obesity and deformities. I’ve had outdoor cats as well as tending to neighbors cat feedings when away to avoid critters getting to food. Recently house sat for senior cat. And I’ve cared for mother and pups from birth to age. I am available mostly evenings and weekends. As early as 3 pm depending on distance. Weekends allow for long hours. I currently take care of a child during the week day till 2:30. How I take care of your dog will depend on how you request, the breed and needs of the dog. Cats are the same situation, however due to my allergy I may decline connections with needy cats.

About: I have watched dogs of various sizes for friends, family, and neighbors.

Just drop me a message anytime from 10am-11pm and I’ll reply within 10 minutes!

Jenifer Miller is absolutely excellent! She took wonderful care of my dog, Buster, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about his needs. From the moment she arrived, it was obvious she treats Buster like he’s her own dog. Jenifer is always prompt, reliable, and professional, giving me complete peace of mind while I’m away. Knowing Buster is with someone who truly loves and cares for him means everything to me.

Liz is a gem! We would 10/10 recommend her. We were fortunate to find her to care for our two elder cats at a time when they needed extra special attention. One had just started injections, and the other antibiotics. Liz was exceptionally attentive, caring, detail oriented, and meticulous in learning their needs and routine. The cats immediately took a liking to her gentle and positive energy, even in a time of great stress for them - and they were so happy to be near her almost immediately. She provides thoughtful communication and pictures during her visits, and put our anxiety at ease so we could enjoy our time away knowing our fur kids were in such good hands. We are grateful to her for being our sitter and know you will be too.

Bettina has been our go-to sitter and for a reason! She continues to provide exceptional care and kindness to our pets, including our new fur baby in the family. She has provided care before to my two dogs, Mocha and Bobee, and knows their routine and personalities well. We recently adopted a cat and were in good hands with Bettina as she had a pet cat herself. From checking in on time during the drop in visit to providing pictures and a detailed after visit note, we were able to go out and enjoy the night with the peace of mind knowing they were under Bettina’s care.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Laguna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laguna is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. 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 4,170 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laguna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 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.
