“Claudia was an amazing pet-sitter to our dog and cat! After meeting her beforehand and seeing how happy Chase and Jojo were to see her, we knew they were in good hands! She sent us pics of our boys and kept us updated. Claudia is the sweetest and friendliest woman you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Kiryl was excellent! Very responsive on time and took great care of my Matteo! Highly recommend Kiryl pet care and staying with your fur babies! Will definitely have him stay with my boy again! Many Thanks”
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!
“Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.”
“David was truly awesome. I think our pets wish he was still there and we didn’t come back! He was very attentive and took such great care of them. He was also super communicative and sent pictures and an update every day. He was even flexible when our travel got messed up. I highly recommend him. He kept our pets and our house cared for and attended to. He is very thoughtful as well. Couldn’t ask for more.”
About: I cared for a clients cat for over 6 years, and helped with his transition through thyroid and kidney failure, experienced in medicating cats. I have my own menagerie of 4 cats (don’t worry, there are other humans in the home for when I’m away), and foster kittens as well. I enjoy playing with cats and understand some cats also don’t like to play and can accommodate that as well. If you need expert cat care, I’m your gal! Dogs also considered- I walked a 100+ lb dog daily for 4 years (neighbors) and also provided overnight care for a 4 lb teacup chihuahua. I work at a school for 9 months and fill the remains of my days with gig work including pet sitting and house cleaning. I look forward to making your pet a part of my schedule I have 4 indoor adult cats and am an expert at keeping them from escaping- I will keep a close eye to make sure your pet doesn’t get out of that’s unwanted
“Laura was a great substitute for Winston's parents. This time we used her as a house-sitter for our two week vacation. She sent us lots of pictures of our boy, which we appreciated. Winston is an 8 year old golden retriever that we rescued last year. He had a difficult life and we were concerned that he would think he was being given up again. So, having Laura come into his house was the best thing for him. We are glad that Laura is able to fill in for us!”
“Kenna is amazing! She is responsible, a great communicator, and clearly an animal lover. My dog has a little social anxiety but Kenna’s calm energy quickly put her at ease. She also drew out my cats to her which is not always the easiest to do. There’s just those people who have a way with animals and Kenna is one of them :)”
“Andrea went above and beyond to take care of our leash reactive pup and in our home. We’re grateful to have her experience and communication after losing our long-term sitter. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Sahba absolutely came to our rescue when a previously booked sitter canceled on us at the very last minute. Despite the short notice, he arrived promptly and immediately put our minds at ease. He watched our home for several nights and took wonderful care of our two cats and our high-strung little dog. Anyone with a nervous pup knows how important the right energy is, and Sahba handled her perfectly. We really appreciated his communication throughout the stay; he sent regular updates and photos, which allowed us to actually relax knowing everyone was in good hands. We highly recommend Sahba for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be calling him 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Beach
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.
Ryan was excellent. He took great care of our dog Karma while we were at the hospital for the birth of our baby. Very reliable, flexible, and respectful of our home. Clear communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable sitter who handles everything smoothly and professionally.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Laguna Beach is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $97 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.

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.
<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 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 , 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.
