About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 11+ years, wether it was my own while my family is on vacation, to stopping by family friends houses to walk, feed, and take care of their dogs! I’ve taken care of dogs as young as a couple weeks to as old as 11 years! I’m a licensed hairstylist, so my schedule varies depending on the day, with shifts ranging anywhere from 3–10 hours in the salon. I offer pet care on my days off, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to dedicate my full attention to your pets. On those days, I’m typically free throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, check-ins, or overnight care, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making pets feel at home. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I also keep a clean, calm environment and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of our house and our fur babies! She was very responsible about messaging us when she had questions. The pets all seemed quite happy and healthy upon our return. She followed our instructions well. We will be glad to use her services again in the future.”
“Andrea went above and beyond to take care of our leash reactive pup and in our home. We’re grateful to have her experience and communication after losing our long-term sitter. Will absolutely book her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, horses, cows and I would go out with my greatgrand-grandmother on her bull farm with many of our dogs. It was an amazing experience and taught me how to train and work with dogs on the farm. I am currently working for myself and make my own schedule. I have many available times to work around your schedule. I feel the best way to represent clients is by working around their needs. I am comfortable in almost any situation. I am able to walk your pups at any time and able to play with them during their care. I am able to extend my hours to work with your schedule if your are running late, and occasionally spending the night if needed.
“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.”
“Laura is absolutely amazing. My boys are usually nervous around new people and she made them so comfortable and happy! My older chi needs daily medication and she didn't blink an eye, making sure he had everything he needed. She sent lots of daily pics and videos, and my home was super neat and tidy upon my return. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura and will absolutely use her services again in the future.”
About: A "Dog First" Approach My world revolves around my dog, and I bring that same compassion and respect to yours. I am a firm believer in letting dogs set the pace. Whether it’s going for a long "sniffary" to engage their brain, providing mental enrichment activities, or my favorite—cuddles and telling them they’re the best ever—I make sure your dog feels seen and loved. For The Dogs Who Are Selective I have a natural touch with dogs that are shy or picky about their humans. My neighbor’s Blue Heeler/Husky/Shepherd mix—who is very "iffy" with strangers—is now one of my best buds. I read body language and wait for a dog to approach me on their own terms. If your dog is a "one-person dog" or just prefers a calmer presence, we will get along great. The Puppy-Proof Eye I’ve had my own dog since he was 8 weeks old. I know exactly how quickly a puppy will run off with something they shouldn't have if you look away for two seconds! I bring that same level of hyper-vigilance to your home, ensuring your pup stays safe and out of trouble while you’re away. Your Home is My Office As a fully remote professional, I’m not just stopping by—I’m moving my office to your living room. This means constant companionship for your dog and the peace of mind that your home is occupied and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific house rules or routines to ensure your dog’s day stays as normal as possible. Momo and I have a very consistent schedule. I feed him around 6 am then go back to sleep. 7:30 am we are at the park either meeting up with his friends or on our own and we stay at least 45 min either playing fetch or walking around (likely longer unless I have meetings). After that I come home work for about 30 min, because now we play more fetch in the hallway. Finally I will work for about 5+ hours, then head to the gym, come back and depending on how sleepy he is either take him for another walk or let him nap. Around 5pm its his dinner time and we end up going for a late night walk around 7 pm. Throughout the day there is plenty of playing, chasing and cuddles. Some days we will substitute the park for going on a long walk and I'll let him tell me where we are going. Weekends I try to take him to the Lake for a big walk or to the beach, but I take him out at least 3-4 times a day and its the best part of my day. Caring for a dog is understanding their boundaries and what is best for them. Whether your dog needs to be laying next to me while I work, tucked in for naps, or needs his bed in the only spot in the house where the sun shines so they can bake like a potato, I will accommodate. I'd be happy to send photos of them throughout the day and provide updates whenever needed.
“Wonderful! While we were out of town Micah cared for our girl and our home. We interviewed quite a few people prior to meeting and subsequently hiring Micah during our first meet. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring and went beyond our expectations. We spent our time away knowing our girl was taken care of. He sent daily updates w photos and videos. This is the guy you want taking care of your precious family pet!”
“Isabelle did a fantastic job dog-sitting our large dog Mowgi. We loved to see the photos she sent of their walks together, out on beautiful trails every day. We would recommend her, and hope to work with her again.”
“Grace was great. She took great care of our pups, including their medical needs. She stayed at our place for an entire week and she left our home clean and orderly. We will definitely book her again next 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.
About: Hi there! I'm Melody, and I’ve taken care of many dogs for the past 12 years since I adopted my redbone coonhound mix, Tracker. I raised him from a puppy to a senior dog with special needs, giving me experience in walking, feeding, bathing, training, administering medication, and senior care. Since I recently lost him, I want to provide loving care for your pups in Orange County. I’m especially skilled in dogsitting puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available most days for overnight stays and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable doing housesitting with dogs to maintain their routines, and their safety and happiness while you’re away is my number one priority! I can easily crate your dog if needed, give medication, and support any special nighttime routines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Niguel
Austin took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town! He made sure he got daily walks, administered his daily medication without any issues, and sent us daily updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Austin to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring to look after their pet!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Isabelle! She stayed overnight in our home and cared for our three dogs for nearly two weeks, and from the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Isabelle was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip, regularly sending photos and letting us know how the dogs were doing. Our dogs also require medications, and she had absolutely no problem administering everything as needed. At one point, one of our dogs had an unexpected emergency, and Isabelle handled the situation like a total professional. She was responsible, caring, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with our dogs. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We are so thankful to Isabelle for taking such great care of our dogs. Highly recommend her!
Trinity came to our home to stay with our Luna girl while we were away for the holiday weekend. She was so compassionate and helpful when our dog became very frantic during several bouts of fireworks. During her stay, she was always very quick to respond to any texts, she kept our home super tidy, and she provided our dog with outstanding care. I would absolutely book with her again!
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 We had an amazing experience with Kyra watching our dog, Cozzie. She went above and beyond throughout the entire stay and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kyra spent a ton of quality time with Cozzie, giving her lots of love, attention, pets, and care, and it was clear from all the updates and photos that Cozzie was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. We especially appreciated how communicative she was — she sent frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many great photos that made us feel connected the whole time. She also took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and well cared for. It’s obvious Kyra truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely trust her with Cozzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Laguna Niguel is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $104 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 4,790 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laguna Niguel. 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 Niguel 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 Niguel 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 Niguel 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
