“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.”

“Thank you Katie! Katie took care of both our dog and cat during our vacation and did a FANTASTIC job. She gave them all the love and snuggles they needed. Everything was tidied and and left in order. And we felt secure in leaving our home and pets in her care. We would not hesitate to ask Katie to house/pet sit again!”

We got photos while we were out and Faust was so relaxed when we got back. We will definitely book with him again in the future. Honestly, 10 out of 10.”

About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.

Me and my husband are both relieved and pleased that we have somebody so caring and awesome right by our house. We are traveling A LOT for business matters and our monthly schedule is quite drastic.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time

About: A lifelong animal lover and your new reliable pet sitter. Im available for drop in care/walks, overnights and dog park trips. I am comfortable providing medications and working within strict dietary guidelines. I have a 13 year old terrier mutt named Jack, he's the sweetest boy and will stay with my adult son when I'm tending to the overnight care of your pet(s). My hobbies include reading, yoga, spending time with my family and learning how to sew! I currently work part time as a yoga instructor. Most of my classes are in the evening. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of your pets care! When I arrive into your home, I immediately greet the pet(s), having them sniff me and gauge if they want any pets. I'll spend time with the pets if they are ready/willing. From there I'll tend to water, litter box and come back to direct cuddles and play. If your pet is very cuddly, I'll spend as much time as they need during an overnight stay cuddling and giving pets.

“Stella was fantastic! She took such great care of sofie, taking her on multiple walks each day. She sent us plenty of photos and videos, and was always very responsive whenever we messaged her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she left our home spotless- she even cleaned before leaving, which we absolutely didn’t expect and greatly appreciated. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible sitter ❤️”

About: My spouse Cathy and I have 2 cats, who will be celebrating their 15th birthday with us this summer! I have plenty of dog experience too- I grew up with at least one dog in the house at all times, and with 17 years as a nanny I also cared for their cats and dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule as a local small business owner, and both Cathy and I love any extra pet time we can get! I am local small business owner, and have a flexible schedule. I am up early most days (4am) so early feedings would t be a problem! I always greet the pets first, and proceed according to order of priority instructions from pet owners. (Walk, give treats, feed, check water, clean litter, etc)

About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, and I also regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a calm, welcoming home with a yard and plenty of space for dogs to relax and feel at home. I also have a great nearby park where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and care schedule as closely as possible. For added convenience, pickup may also be available with advance notice, depending on location and scheduling. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am the sole caregiver for pets booked through my Rover account. No one else assists with pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s needs and usual schedule, so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a calm, comfortable home with a yard and a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I supervise pets closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. There’s also a great park nearby for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

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!

I was nervous to use Rover for the first time, but Samantha was absolute perfection! It takes a lot of trust to have someone stay at your house, but she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Samantha sent wonderful updates and photos of Stanley, which made my heart happy! I returned to a very relaxed dog and a perfectly clean home. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better first experience and will absolutely book Samantha again!

Alison Z. is so awesome! She is my “contact first” pet sitter. We have a charming black lab mix who is besties with one of the neighbor cats. Despite being allergic to cats, Allison facilitated the furries’ social time. Our house was immaculate when we returned—not a shred of dog or cat hair anywhere. I expected to wash the bedding when I returned but Alison already took care of it. Alison not only took great care of our dog and the neighbor’s cat. She took care of me too by taking care of the cleaning and laundry before I got home. That gave me the gift of some time to rest after the trip. Allison is my go-to sitter, and I am so very grateful for her.

Will is an outstanding house and pet sitter. He stayed two nights/three days. We received dozens of photos and several updates each day at least twice a day. My animals are not super socialized with men, so it took him a little bit of time for him to establish their comfort with him. By the end of Will’s stay some were following him wherever he went. Highly recommend!!

She even hand fed him when his nerves prevented him from eating the first day after we left. I can tell he got a ton of playtime and love in bc he's passed out and exhausted from his stay which is a great sign. Highly recommended!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laguna Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Laguna Hills is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $94 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 5,772 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laguna Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.
