“I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!”

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care. I am currently working part-time 25hrs per week 5-hour shifts and am typically off at around 10pm. Therefore, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends before and after when I do work. More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)

About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.

About: I've had animals in my life ever since I was 7. From birds to dogs to cats. I love animals and love spending time with them. I'm currently working part time in the afternoons during the weekends. My availability for walks is Monday- Thursday at any time. I am available to watch your animal in either your home or mine :) I currently have 2 cats so as long as your pet is cat friendly, my cats are :) I am able to travel to your home as well and watch your pet if that suits more in your interest.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, raised 4 at puppy age and a few came along mid age. Once I was on my own for college I rented a house with a yard, just so I could get a dog- I ended up with 2 Goldens for 14 years. More recently I have had Labs. I have been volunteering with Lab Rescuers of San Diego since 2017 when my female lab passed and thought fostering would be good for my male Lab. For the rescue, I do home visits, transports, adoption events and fostering. I watch several dogs while owners are on vacations- my friends dogs, as well as, referrals from rescue. Special needs, diet or requirements I am well experienced in. My own lab had 'tie back' surgery at 13 (2020) for Laryngeal Paralysis- due to that ( as well as other conditions that arose) he ate a specific way and needed specific care. I am good with walks, short or long walks, dog play, fetch etc... I love dogs of all ages, but seniors just have that special place in my heart... maybe because I was lucky enough to have mine for a long time (not long enough), but well lived for a Lab. I also have been volunteering at OC Animal Care in Tustin. After Shadow passed, some fellow volunteers encouraged me to give shelter time a chance, well I did and I ended up enjoying it and learning a lot more about dogs. I do dog walking there and some training with them regarding manners and leash work. Most of the handling work is with husky's, shepherds, pitties and mixes. All such amazing dogs. It's hard to see the dogs in cages but they are truly well cared for there by staff and volunteers, which is why I choose to continue to volunteer there. Since just recently leaving teaching (Physical education for 20 + years), I decided to get into dog care and walking while I learn some other traits related to dogs. 💔Shadow passed in 2022 and it took a while to be ready to add a new fur baby. We are now and will be looking. In the meantime, I plan to use this time to care / walk & spoil others fur baby’s. Just without my ‘wingman’ Shadow. I am a former teacher of Physical Education for elementary school. While I am learning some new skills related to dogs and dog care, I have opened up my free days to get my dog walking / dog care going. For my home, If dogs are at my place, I have a secure yard with fence (6 feet). It is 2 stories, upstairs bedrooms. I have a dog door downstairs with access to fenced back yard/ patio area. Safe areas for walking right out the door. Dog friendly neighbors: My husband, a teacher as well, is home when not working. I will stick to the routine your pup is use to. In clients home, just let me know what exactly you need for you pup and it will happen. I plan to research a course for Pup CPR, hopefully never to have to use it but I know it could be good. I am also Not on my phone when walking pups or being paid to care for them. Only exception would be taking pictures of your dog for you. :)

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for all types of pets, and I truly love what I do. My own fur babies mean the world to me, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. Pets hold such a special place in our hearts—they’re our loyal companions who bring us joy every day (and maybe a little sass sometimes). How could we not love them? I have experience with all kinds of dogs—from tiny lap dogs to large breeds, and from shy, gentle pups to friendly social butterflies, as well as dogs who may be a bit more reactive. Whether you’d like me to focus on just your pup one-on-one, or you’re comfortable with me watching multiple dogs at once, I’ll make sure your baby is cared for exactly how you’d like I currently make my own schedule and work from home. I have full availability morning, nights and afternoons. I open to whatever works best for you and making sure you fur baby’s is getting the love and attention they need. I make sure to give them at least an hour a day of some sort of activity ( more if possible ). I do try to incorporate some sort of engaging activity with them and also lots of snuggles.

About: Hi I’m Janelle! As a self proclaimed “type A” pet parent, I know firsthand how hard it can be to trust someone else with your furry family members. I pay attention to the little details, sticks to routines, and want to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a proud pet parent to two beagles, Quarter and Nickel, and a senior cat, Karma. My dogs have taught me so much about patience, enrichment, and celebrating each pet for who they are. One of my beagles is reactive, and while he may need a little extra space and understanding, he is still the sweetest pup with his own quirks and personality. Because of this, I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and building trust. I’m comfortable following your pet’s established routines and care preferences, including the use of e-collars if that is part of their normal training. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care to help them feel safe and happy. About me: My fiancé and I recently moved back to OC from Seattle! We have 3 fur babies, 2 beagles and 1 cat! I love taking my dogs on walks and hikes and I especially love making treats for them! I also like playing enrichment games with them and agility course training. Our cat is 13 but you wouldn't know it from looking at her! She still enjoys chasing strings and lasers as much as I enjoy watching her lol! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week to accommodate you and your pet’s routines and needs. Whether your pet is active or a couch potato, I’ll be there to match their pace in your home or on a walk or hike!

About: I’m not just a dog lover — I have real hands-on experience. I’ve trained puppies from the ground up and nursed pups back to health that had giardia and parvovirus, so I know how to spot when something’s off and act fast. I’m also an active, outdoorsy sitter; daily walks, runs, and fresh air are part of the routine, not an afterthought. Your dog gets attentive care and an energetic companion. I’m available every day except Sunday mornings — happy to work around your schedule the rest of the week. Must book 24hr before for daycare & overnight services I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible; feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always read and follow the notes and details owners give me to ensure I’m meeting their pet’s specific needs and best practices. Beyond that, I pay close attention to the animal’s cues; body language, energy level, mood so I can adjust in the moment and respond to what they need, not just what’s on a checklist. Whether it’s your home or mine, the goal is the same: a safe, comfortable, low-stress experience for your pet.

I would highly recommend Joseph. He’s a natural with our babies and his calm demeanor is helpful for them because our little bulldog can get feisty with other dogs while on leash. Physical strength was a big deal for us as we have a 60-lb Pit/Staffy mix, and a mini (40lb) bulldog & he walks them at the same time, with ease. We’re grateful we found Joseph!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Laguna Niguel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Laguna Niguel is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $42 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 7,432 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Laguna Niguel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Laguna Niguel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Laguna Niguel after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laguna Niguel. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
