“Viktoriia was such an amazing pet sitter for us over the holidays. She took great care of our 3 cats and dog while we were away for 6 days. Super reliable, responsive, and sent lots of updates and photos. Most importantly, all our pets loved her and she spent so much quality time with them. We are so lucky to have found her!! Thank you Viktoriia!!”

“I recently had Hoai watch my dog for a few hours while I was out for the evening. I use her services regularly because she always takes such great care of my pup and keeps me updated throughout her stay. She’s incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and someone I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with. Highly recommend her!”

“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.”

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: If your dog has energy to burn, they’ll fit right in with me. I’m an active runner and hiker based in Irvine near the Spectrum, and I love having a copilot for outdoor adventures. Whether your pup needs a brisk morning walk, games of fetch at the park, or trail exploring on weekends, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. This is the only job I have at the moment so my schedule is pretty flexible and can accommodate to your preferred schedule when need be. I am flexible regarding what environment you would want me to take care of your pets. I know some walking trails and dog parks within the area.

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’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely can’t remember a home without animals. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes. I grew up with a spunky Jack Russell Terrier who my family had for 20 years, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds, senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, comfortable with dogs that may be nervous or challenging, and always move at the pet’s pace. I regularly cat sit, am confident administering medication, and have experience with puppies, adults, and senior animals. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, it allows me to fully focus on the pets I’m caring for and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I work from home full time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible with pets who need companionship during the day. Your pet will never be an afterthought! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they feel secure and respected. I’m calm, observant, and patient, especially with anxious or high-energy pets. I follow instructions carefully, keep environments clean and hazard-free, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands whether I’m in your home or caring for them elsewhere.

“Michelle was the best! I went away for the weekend and she was a superstar looking after my yorkie, Aanold. She arrived on time, actually an hour before to help get things settled and make the transition was smooth. I received photos morning, afternoon and evening regarding the status of my dog. My dog loved her and there was no issues. He was laying with her on the couch and settled in well to having her around. She is mature, respectful, knows the temperament of dogs and is very kind and loving towards them. She went above and beyond to even wash my bedding and make sure my apartment was the way it was before she arrived to stay. I will continue to use Michelle in a heartbeat. Thank you again for all your help.”

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: I grew up in a household full of animals, including two dogs, a cat, a rabbit, and two birds, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and taking my dogs out for bathroom breaks, as well as cleaning and maintaining the living spaces of our cat, rabbit, and birds. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when caring for animals. Beyond caring for my own pets, I gained additional experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family friends throughout college. My flexible academic schedule allowed me to take on overnight and multi-day stays, where I was trusted to care for both pets and their homes while their owners were away. Through these opportunities, I became familiar with maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules, daily exercise and playtime, administering medications according to owner instructions, and following nighttime household security procedures. I also helped with additional household responsibilities, such as watering plants and keeping the home clean and organized. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, experience caring for a variety of pets, and commitment to being a responsible and dependable sitter. I understand that every pet has its own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to adapt my approach accordingly. Whether your pet is energetic and loves outdoor adventures or prefers a quieter day filled with companionship and affection, I'm happy to provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve! I work six-hour shifts, three to four days a week, leaving my mornings and evenings completely open. As someone who enjoys staying active, I make it a priority to go on walks twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would love to have your pets join me and am more than happy to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day based on their needs and energy levels! I'm also a very affectionate person who loves spending quality time with animals. Whether it's playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! Growing up with pets, I understand how much love, companionship, and joy they bring into a home. Since losing my childhood pets while I was away at college, I've missed the energy, affection, and special bond that comes with caring for animals. I would love the opportunity to bring that same love and dedication into caring for your pets! When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining the routines they are familiar with. I firmly believe in respecting each pet owner's rules, preferences, and instructions, whether that involves feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medication, or specific household guidelines. I understand that consistency is important to a pet's well-being, especially when their owner is away. Above all, I want to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pets so that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the experience. I am committed to treating your home with respect and your pets with the same patience, affection, and attentiveness I would give my own. My goal is for you to return home to happy, well cared for pets and feel confident knowing they were in loving hands!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! At one point my family had 4 dogs, a bird, a tortoise, and a frog. Now we’re down to two dogs and two cats in the family and I hold them near and dear. I will love your animal like my own:) I’m currently working part time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from the early morning to early afternoon and Monday - Friday 3:30pm-6:30pm. I can provide bathrooms breaks and walks for your pets and I’m open to house sitting as well! I cannot take any pets into my own home but I will care for your pets in yours with any extra love and attention they may need.

About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I’m available for care 7 day a week including holidays. Your animals will be taken on walks and tons of sniffy moments. Your animals will be receiving a lot of love and attention throughout the day with videos, gps trackers and pics to show for it. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.

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!!

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 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.
