“I cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Silvia. My dog absolutely loves her and she did a wonderful job dog sitting and house sitting while we were away. I highly recommend her.”
“Outstanding pet sitter - Oscar went above and beyond! Oscar watched our 6 babies for 10 days and we couldn't be happier! He was incredibly responsible and caring from start to finish. He brought thoughtful gifts for our pets and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. What impressed us most was his attention to detail - he carefully monitored each pet for any scratches, itching, or unusual behavior. Our dogs Passion & Baby and our cats King, Hope, Zara, and Leo were all in excellent hands. Oscar made sure everyone was okay and even kept us informed about small things like noticing ants in the house. He's a mature, trustworthy sitter who truly cares about the animals. Oscar deserves all 5 stars and we will absolutely book him again! Thank you, Oscar”
“We had such a great experience with John! He watched our pup for a couple days as we took day trips with family. He was responsive, patient, flexible, and so kind. We would definitely want to book with him again!”
About: ** Currently in Laguna Beach for June&July! ** Hi! I’m Mikayla. I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for over five years and have maintained all five-star reviews along the way. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—from dogs and cats to reptiles, farm animals, and just about everything in between. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I genuinely love meeting new animals and building relationships with both pets and their people. If your pet enjoys extra attention, affection, and being just a little bit spoiled, we’ll get along great. 🐾💕 I have a high energy dog named Sienna, and when I’m not working I’m spending time with her outside, going on walks or playing. My schedule varies from day to day, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if I have the availability that you might need. My pup and I go on at least 1 long walk and two shorter walks each day and would love to bring your pup along. Your pets can make themselves at home at our place! Sleeping on furniture is allowed, but if that’s not the rule in your home I’ll follow your lead 👍🏻 They will also have plenty of outside time and will get lots of exercise with my pup who wants to play constantly. I have a pretty good understanding of animal behavior and body language, but please let me know if your pet needs any accommodations around behavior so I can keep everyone safe and happy 😊
“Kaitlin was wonderful and is a great communicator! She sent us a picture of the dogs while we were gone which we really appreciated! Looking forward to our next booking and will continue to book with her in the future. :)”
“Lisa was everything we wished for in a sitter for our Elsie! Lisa is extremely caring, a great communicator and just did everything to make sure both Elsie and us were happy, no matter how far away from each other we were. We left Elsie for 2 weeks which was the longest we ever left. When we started missing her too much near the end of our trip and let Lisa know, she made sure to send extra photos and updates ? We were looking for a sitter who would be loving and caring towards Elsie, but also respect the routine we have with her, her training and our apartment. We couldn’t have hoped for a better sitter than Lisa! After we returned, Lisa continued to check in to make sure all was well with Elsie. We found our apartment spotless and well looked after, my husband couldn’t even believe that someone had been living in our apartment for the last two weeks.”
“Lisa was amazing! She sent tons of update pictures and videos, so we knew our puppy was ok and having a good time! Very kind and nice! I would absolutely recommend her, if you are looking for someone to watch your pets!”
“For the first time in a long time we were not worried about our fur babies. From the day we left to the day we got home Sed was in touch sending photos and updates. Our two (very spoiled) pugs were well taken care of, complex food and medication regime was followed as directed. The boys were never left alone for long and were happy sleeping alongside someone while we were gone. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Thank you SO SO much!!”
“Brenda was amazing with my older small diabetic dog and young cat! She took such good care of them and followed our over night instructions perfectly. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Cristina took such wonderful care of my dog & 2 kitties. She was punctual, communicative, and very kind and caring all throughout. She sent us pictures of our happy pets during our vacation, which put our mind at ease, and we found our new pet sitter. Thank you Cristina!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend. I’m currently available to help in any capacity! Feel free to reach out. I am a full-time mom and have an open schedule. I have a large home with plenty of room for your pet! There are grass areas and plenty of shade. My neighborhood has great trails where we can walk dogs. I love all animals and always treat them well! I will be sure to send you updates and photos if requested.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. For the past five years, I've been a proud dog dad to my corgi, Juju, which has given me firsthand experience with the daily needs, routines, and personalities that make every dog unique. As a teacher, I am naturally patient, responsible, and detail-oriented. I understand the importance of consistency, clear communication, and building trust with both with pets and their owners. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for overnight sitting Sunday through Thursday nights, as well as drop-in visits and dog walks from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain the routine they are already familiar with. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences provided by the owner. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Kelsy was fantastic with our pup who is an old man who just enjoys company. She followed his schedule and send pics daily which we appreciated since we missed him a ton. Thanks Kelsy! Maxwell gives you a 10/10!”
“Emma was amazing with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs instantly loved her, she was incredibly communicative and sent so many updates/photos/videos. We were able to truly relax knowing they were in good hands and will definitely use her again.”
“Words cannot thank Nancy, and how well she took care of our dogs. Luna and Juno can be nervous around new people but they took a liking right away. Nancy is very calm, and great with dogs and was able to extend her time with them as well. She will be our go to sitter for anytime we are away.”
“Kaitlyn took exceptional care of our special-needs Ragdoll while we were away. Our cat has asthma and requires multiple medications, including a nebulizer, an inhaler, and pills. Kaitlyn went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring he received all his treatments with care and patience. Not only is she extremely reliable and professional, but she also took great care of our home. When our kitty had a litter box accident and needed a bath, she handled it without hesitation—something not every pet sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she spent more time with him than we even asked, knowing that he doesn’t like to be alone. That extra care and attention meant so much to us. We returned home to a well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Wonderful! While we were out of town Micah cared for our girl and our home. We interviewed quite a few people prior to meeting and subsequently hiring Micah during our first meet. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring and went beyond our expectations. We spent our time away knowing our girl was taken care of. He sent daily updates w photos and videos. This is the guy you want taking care of your precious family pet!”
“Laura is absolutely amazing. My boys are usually nervous around new people and she made them so comfortable and happy! My older chi needs daily medication and she didn't blink an eye, making sure he had everything he needed. She sent lots of daily pics and videos, and my home was super neat and tidy upon my return. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura and will absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Janet was great with our pup! She is professional, communicative, and kind. We feel very comfortable leaving our pup and home under her care. We are looking forward to working with Janet again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Laguna Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laguna Beach on Rover is $65.49 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,402 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laguna Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach 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.
Tip: 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 Beach 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
