“Marketta did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She is very trustworthy, responsive and caring. It’s nice to know our dogs were in great hands! We highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her watch our pups again!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have a miniature Dachshund whom I absolutely adore, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and very respectful of each pet’s individual routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, and providing extra attention to senior pets. I also have experience preparing homemade, pre-portioned meals for my own dog each week, so I am very comfortable following detailed feeding instructions and special meal routines. I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is for both pets and their parents to feel comfortable, safe, and completely at ease while they are in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, going for walks, playing, preparing their meals, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the time and care each pet deserves I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions, while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I also make sure the home is kept clean, tidy, and secure while the owner is away.
“Sydney was great. Left the house in the same shape it was when she arrived. Dogs were happy on coming home and seemed well taken care of. Would have preferred more photos of them and a bit more communication.”
“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”
“John did an amazing job caring for our dogs. He has an amazing energy and our dogs loved him right away! We felt confident leaving them with John and hope to use him again as a sitter in the future.”
“Sabrina was super friendly and thoughtful. She treated our pets with love and care and spoiled them. She even took our dog out to a fancy Thanksgiving dinner AND took her bed for her! Very thoughtful. She was very respectful of our home and left it very clean, which was very nice to return to after a long trip. Super appreciate her staying in contact with us and sending us pictures and videos as well. Thank you Sabrina!”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Carmen is as a pet sitter. We were out of the country for two weeks, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong! But Carmen made what should have been a stressful time so easy. With everything that came up, she took it in stride and was so accommodating. She's kind-hearted, EXCELLENT with the pets, and truly cares. She goes above and beyond for the animals under her care. Upon our return, all of our fur babies were relaxed and the most content I've seen them after we've been away. You would be silly not to book her! I really can't say enough good things about her.”
“Julie is amazing! She was able to accommodate our last minute booking request and saved our plans to attend a music festival. She was kind and patient with our fur baby. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
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.

“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. :)”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Yarira took such great care of Ava and made me feel completely at ease from the moment she arrived. She was early, incredibly sweet and attentive, and Ava instantly loved her. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was so reassuring and let me know Ava was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Ava again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“Nancy was great, and just who Glory needed. I had to go out of town over the 4th of July weekend, and I hadn't used the app before (or left my dog with someone she didn't know); naturally I was a little anxious for both of them during fireworks, but Nancy sent a video of my dog SLEEPING through the noise. Glory usually paces all night during the 4th, so she had some calming magic that did wonders. I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries in the end. Nancy sent me several updates in my absence assuring me that Glory had been walked and fed, and was doing well. Communication on all things leading up to the booking, as well as through, couldn't have been easier or better. Nancy is also wonderful in the housesitting aspect as well, everything was as I left it (if not a little cleaner in some regards!). If you need someone who has a calming and patient presence for your pet, or you have any hesitance with someone in your home, I highly recommend Nancy.”
“Thank you to Laura for making sure our Bailey girl was well taken care of! Laura is wonderful! She constantly communicated with messages and photos, which was so greatly appreciated and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Laura was so patient with Bailey, spent a lot of one on one time with her and was really attentive to her needs. Will definitely be calling upon Laura again in the future!”
About: My wife and I are both avid lovers of dogs, as we’ve both grown up with multiple dogs since childhood. It’s been a joy for us to pet-sit for dog owners, and the dogs we board truly feel like our own! We go to extra measures to try to make our pet guests feel like they are taking a visit to their extended family. And of course, we want pet owners to feel at ease as well so we always send photos, either via the Rover app or via text depending on the owner’s preferences. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries! My wife and I both work remotely so we are home and are able to provide two sets of eyes for special attention and care. I walk dogs in our vast apartment complex which has an open green field for bathroom needs with multiple potty stations. We also have numerous parks nearby & I can take your pet to a dog park nearby if you are comfortable with it.
“This is the first time that I have utilized Rover’s services, and I couldn’t be more happy with the care and attention Kelly provided to my little pack of 3 dogs (2 of which are quite active and adolescent puppies) as well as my home. Kelly went above and beyond the entire stay, and the pups challenged her quite a bit. But, she handled everything and was super patient the whole time. Kelly provided great updates through text, pics and videos, and she helped me feel more comfortable being away from the pups, which allowed me to have a great vacation visiting family. I highly recommend Kelly, and she will be my first reach out the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you, Kelly, for being so amazing with my pup family!!!”
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for over 9 years and I also went to school for veterinary technology. I am currently a licensed RVT. I also pet sit for my friends, help with feeding, walking, and sometimes bathing as well. I can also help with medicating pets too such as oral medicine, insulin, ear cleaning, ect. I have no pets of my own but I make sure all the animals have fresh food, water, and bedding. If the weather is bad, i will bring the dog inside the home if the dog lives outside. I can also assist with walking dogs too. I also will take the pet to the vet if needed, god forbid if it is an emergency or if the pet doesn’t feel well. That is also my priority as well as in letting the owner know if something happened with the pet, and if I should take him/her to see a vet. I currently work at a vet office in santa ana but I am able to do drop in visits after work, and I am also able to stay over night if needed. I keep in regular contact with the pet parent, sending frequent updates about the pet. If I have any questions i also will ask as well.
About: I took care about my sister's dog husky. It is amazing! So fluffy, so cute, so kind and funny! It always needs a lot of attention and energy which I give with pleasure. Now I am working part-time, so I have enough time to visit your pets in the mornings or in the evenings. This is may be not just a short visit, and I can stay for some time to play with your fur baby! I always clean litter boxes and bowls. Fresh water and food are important things for every fluffy face. I will send you pictures and videos with your pets so you can be sure they are in good hands!
“Amyra was awesome and I would highly recommend her! She was very responsive from the beginning. As soon as she met our dogs we could tell she is a ‘dog person’. She sent several pictures and provided updates daily. We are moving out of state, but if we were staying Amyra would be our go to dog sitter!!”

Lisa was fantastic with our dogs. We had to find a sitter very last minute and she didn’t hesitant. She had great communication and was always so friendly. Lisa sent us multiple pictures everyday so I didn’t have a single worry about our dogs. We came back to our house extremely clean and organized and to happy pets. Would highly recommend Lisa’s services. She truly loves animals!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Laguna Beach is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $98 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 November 2026, there are 5,213 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laguna Beach. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
