“Claudia was very kind and responsible with our Golden girl. We are always nervous about leaving her for the first time, but Claudia was very loving and sent photos showing how happy and relaxed she was. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend.”

“I would definitely recommend Tara! She was available for a very last minute booking, had excellent communication, sent me pictures and updates about my doggie 🐶 Thank you Tara💗”
“Jacqueline and her husband are so sweet and easy to work with! Winnie had a great time with them for day care. They sent updates and were flexible with my shifting schedule! Thankful for them!”
About: For 18+ years, I have cared for dogs--not only the family dogs (rescues included), but for others who have needed help with walking or overnight stays. I am retired, so my time is very flexible. I can easily flex my schedule as needed. I have great experience walking dogs in Laguna Beach. I give each dog the personal attention they need as I can easily fit care in throughout my week. I am happy to walk your dog in the Laguna Beach neighborhood. I have a nice area in my yard for dogs that is fenced in where I can throw balls or frisbees or a toy of choice, if you prefer for me to watch them at my house during the walk or playtime.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 7 years old. I had hamsters, parrots, dogs, and cats. My first dog was female Rottweiler that I had for 14 years. My last dog was a Siberian Husky that also lived 14 years. I occasionally pet sit my friend’s dogs. I have plenty of time playing with your doggie during the week, and limited time during weekend. Boarding is flexible with max 5 nights at the time. I have a house with fenced backyard, and plenty of trails for walking. I’m able to stay at your home to keep your pets company or pick him up for walking.
“Teresa was wonderful. She communicated in a timely way and was very kind. She is so calming and even my anxious dogs were able to relax with her. She played with my energetic 1yo pup and both pups got plenty of sunshine with her in her back yard.”

I have a secure fenced yard for playtime, plenty of attention, and a calm home environment. Your dog will be treated like family, with love, supervision, walks, and lots of care.  I can provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I’d love to meet your furry family member!

I have a decent sized fenced in back yard. Inside my home there are lots of chairs to cuddle up on for a snooze or some pets.
“Eric & Allison treated our pup Kaiya so well! They were able to accommodate us on short notice & we received a bunch of updates, which was much appreciated. Was cute seeing Moose be a gentleman showing Kaiya the neighborhood on their walk & bringing her out to our car for pick up🥹😂 Highly recommend & looking forward to the next time they can watch our girl!”
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.
“Highly recommend Lindy! She welcomed our close to 100lb 11mo old Dobermann toddler with a very last minute notice. Our pup really enjoyed spending time with her. She kept in touch with texts and photos. We were so glad to find her!! Definitely using her servive again!”
About: My golden retriever was my best friend growing up. I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I work from home and control my schedule so can take your pets for a walk pretty much whenever. My schedule is very flexible. I’m very active so usually run once a day already. I have a cozy and safe apartment and crate your dog if you needed. I can feed your pets at your house or mine and can accommodate to your schedule and needs.
“Mazzy’s first day at Doreens was a big success. I thought Mazzy would be very anxious with dropping her off somewhere new but Doreen said she was very well behaved. She looked very happy playing with her new doggie friends and made herself at home at Doreens. I would definitely bring Mazzy there again. It’s such a relief to have found somewhere to bring her that is close by my home and that she enjoyed.”
About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.
About: My home is a "Doggie's sweet home away from home", small dogs only(up to 20lb). I’m housewife and would love to welcome some fluffy friends into my life to make each day a little brighter! Having been around dogs since childhood, I take great pride in knowing how to keep them happy and healthy. I currently have a handsome, fabulous, and loving 9-year-old miniature Poodle, whom I’ve raised with all my care and affection. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs! I can assure you that your beloved pet will feel right at home with me, enjoying the same love and attention they would with you. I offer both short-term and long-term care, adapting to whatever you need. Rest assured, I’ll keep you updated with photos and videos on my instagram so you can see just how much fun they’re having! I can take upto 3 dogs. Thank you for considering, and I can’t wait to meet your wonderful companion! Your fluffy friend will be under my watch throughout the entire day. I’m happy to walk your dog, according to your preferences. There’s a park just near my home, so I can take them there for some extra fun if you’d like!
“Ailen was kind, reliable, and incredibly helpful throughout my dog's entire stay. She took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Niguel
The communication was excellent from start to finish, making me feel completely at ease. My dog had such a wonderful time—Inna and Jake were high-energy and kept my pup active, but also made sure to provide calm, safe spaces for rest throughout the day. I also loved receiving so many great pictures. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful care!
Twix had such a great time with Claudia and her sweet dog, Wally! She took them to the park where twix had lots of fun, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to know Twix was having fun and being well cared for. We really appreciate all the attention she gave him. Highly recommended.
Kelle was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I booked, she was incredibly responsive and made the whole process easy. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear that Duke was happy and safe.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Laguna Niguel commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,790 sitters in Laguna Niguel, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
