I highly recommend Alison to care for a family's pets. My wife, children and I were taking a vacation, and we were very concerned about entrusting our pet's safety and care with a stranger. A couple of weeks prior to our departure, we met with Alison for the first time. I immediately felt that Alison would provide great care for our three dogs who range from 35 lbs. to a 115 lbs. German Shepherd. A few days prior to our departure, Alison contacted us to confirm our departure time. On the morning of our departure, Alison arrived at our home promptly and we reviewed the dog's care and feeding schedule. Our departure went very smoothly. During our trip, Alison sent us daily texts, pictures and videos of our happy, well cared for dogs confirming Alison's great care for our dog's and our home. I strongly recommend Alison to care for your pets and your home.

Seph was a great house sitter and took outstanding care of my dog and cat. Seph was quick to respond to my initial request for a month long house sitting job and it was easy to see from his emails that he was going to be a great house sitter. He came to my house and met my dog and cat, me and the house and we had a good talk and walk with my dog. I could tell he was trustworthy and responsible. While I was away he sent me lots of cat and dog photos which helped me because I missed my pets. I could see he was taking good care of both of them and the house. He even gave my dog a bath! This is the first time I have used Rover for house sitting and it turned out great. When I got home the house was neat and clean and my pets were glad to see me. I would use Seph again for a house sitting job.

Sabrina took perfect care of Alex and our home while we were away. Alex needs three oral medications, requires an inhaler, and has a complex feeding schedule. He also needs a lot of attention, or he gets very stressed out. Sabrina took such good care of him, and we are deeply appreciative of the attention she showered on him and the updates she sent to us. We came home to a happy kitty and an orderly house. We will gladly ask Sabrina to watch Alex the next time we are away.

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.

Will continues to be a life saver for us!! Not only does he take amazing care of our pups, but our home and other animals, too. He was so considerate to take our bunny to the vet while we were gone when he realized something was wrong with her and didn’t hesitate to do so. He’s got the best communication, sends lots of pictures, and loves on our fur babies when we can’t. I wouldn’t want anyone else looking after them when we are gone. Just please don’t steal him from us. 🤣

Barri is truly delightful. She is a fantastic communicator, she is punctual, and genuinely a kind person. We could tell right away that she places a high value on providing great care to pets that she is sitting for. We look forward to having Barri come stay with our girls again! They were immediately comfortable with her, and that made us feel so relaxed leaving them in her care. Thank you Barri!

About: I grew up in a lively household with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the last 15 years, I’ve pet sat for nearly everyone in my life- friends, family, neighbors, you name it. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, medication for seniors, or playtime with energetic pups, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I care for. This path felt inevitable. So here I am I work a hybrid schedule (in office Monday Wednesday & Thursday)- as such I find I am the best sitter for fellow in office workers or for a long Friday-Sunday weekend trip where I can stay with your pet the whole day. I am big into getting my 10K steps a day so I’d love to have a friend come along with me! Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday play session, or a relaxing evening cuddle, I’m home and available to give your pet the attention they deserve. If there is anyone who likes to take photos of your pet more than you it is me. I LOVE to send updates throughout the day & frequently check in on the fun we’re having. I am a neat freak in my own home & I always strive to leave your home spotless and ready for you to come back!

Our dogs instantly felt comfortable with her, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She even helped get them ready for our wedding photo shoot, which meant the world to us! She was so pleasant, kind, and truly incredible to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend her to everyone without hesitation! 🐾💛

About: Hi, I'm Evan! With nearly a decade of pet care experience and boundless enthusiasm for animals, I'm your go-to walker and sitter. After graduating college, I found joy in providing reliable and considerate care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I recently reached a milestone of 1500 five-star reviews on a popular dog walking app! It's hard to find someone trustworthy who can understand your fur baby's unique needs. Rest assured, your pet's wellbeing is safe with me! I'm known to keep tails wagging! 😁 As a full time provider, I'm very fortunate to able to fill my weekdays with walks and sittings. My weekend availability is more limited, but still feel free to ask! When I care for pets in clients' homes, I prefer having lots of information. Please tell me everything there is to know about your fur baby, so that I can help them be most comfortable. Such as... -their daily food and sleep schedule -toys and treats -favorite rituals -training commands and walking etiquette -any triggers or off-limits areas

About: I have been surrounded by dogs of all ages my whole life, and have extensive experience in plenty of different scenarios. I helped train my dog when she was a puppy, I’m responsible for bathing her, feeding her, picking up her poop, walking her, and more - all the responsibilities of owning a pet. I am also the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and colleagues, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and do a great job at it. I have experience dog sitting for senior dogs, dogs with special accommodations, dogs who need medication, puppies, hyperactive dogs, standoffish dogs, pretty much every dog under the sun. I have no problems with any situation and can handle anything thrown my way! I have a very flexible part-time job where I can pick my hours, so pet care fits anywhere into my weekly routine where I may choose it. I tend to go above and beyond when pet sitting in the sense that I spend most of my time with the animals, so complete attention and pet care won’t be a problem. I could only care for pets in the client’s home, as my own dog stays at my house and is a solo act, but in a client’s home I would care for pets as if they were my own. I would expect to have access to resources I’d need to properly care for the pets, but I could also bring anything of my own if needed. I am determined to create and maintain a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for any pets that I’d be lucky enough to watch over.

Wow! Sabrina really understands dogs inside and out. My pup is particularly anxious as a rescue, and she takes special care of him to make sure to advocate and listen to his needs. She gives lots of cuddles and structured playtime and walks, making sure the dog is enriched and has all of their needs met. Could not recommend Sabrina more! She left my house in perfect condition and even cleaned!!!

Saeedeh was amazing! We left our pup, Huxley with her, and he had such a great time. She provided many updates, pictures and videos which helped us feel at ease as he can be a sensitive guy. 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!

We are so thankful to Alison for her great care of our house and two Pomeranians for our short trip recently. From our first meet and greet we felt very comfortable with her friendly personality but also how she seriously and attentively listened to all our dog details. This was my first time using a rover sitter after my mom decided to retire from watching her grandpups. I was a little nervous to meet someone new, but Alison was so experienced and great, I immediately felt at ease. Durring her stay she was very responsive, and we always felt kept in the loop on how everyone was doing. There were no issues with our boy who takes meds twice a day and she was an expert with our silly ball-obsessed second pup! Our house was immaculate when we returned! We felt great knowing Alison was with our boys and would definitely be interested in hiring her again! Thank you so much Alison!!! 10/10!

Hailey saved our butts when not just one, but two Rover sitters fell through on us just days before we were leaving for a 6 day trip. Luckily we found Hailey and she took great care of both our goofy boys throughout our time away. Our boys are both rescues and while they are total cuddlebugs, they can also be challenging on walks so it’s always worrisome when we leave them behind with new sitters. Luckily they got along great with Hailey. I’ll also add that when our AC stopped working halfway through our stay (thanks SoCal heatwave!) Hailey did her best to keep our boys comfortable, cooling their fur down with water, leaving them ice water to drink, and making sure the fan kept them as cooled off as possible in our home. She was also great about keeping us up to date on their status throughout the week which definitely helped calm my worries. 10/10 will reach out to her again in the future!

Camille is my #1 go to for in-home care for our senior dog when we're traveling. She loves him like her own, carefully follows instructions and is very respectful of him, us and our home. And that he absolutely ADORES her, has fun, gets all the love he wants, AND experiences minimal stress and separation anxiety, is exactly what we hope for for him. That her communication is also top notch throughout the experience helps tremendously and provides much peace and comfort for us when traveling. I can't say enough positive things about Camille!

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.

We booked Caroline very last minute, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but they immediately put our minds at ease with incredible communication and genuine care for Roxie. They sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which meant so much to our family and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and well cared for. It was obvious from the updates that Roxie was getting lots of attention, love, and great care. We are beyond grateful for how thoughtful, communicative, and caring they were—especially on short notice. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way, we absolutely recommend Caroline We would gladly book with them again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Laguna Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Laguna Hills on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,841 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 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.
