“Austin was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind with our pups! He was responsive and shared photos along the way, too! We will definitely be calling him again to watch our fur babies.”

About: Hi! I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I even thought about becoming a vet, but my heart wasn’t built for the tough stuff. I’d probably cry right alongside the owners. I’ve been around pets my whole life and currently have a dog and two rescue cats. They’re bonded brothers and pretty much run the house. I’m definitely that person who notices the dog before the human every single time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from tiny to large breeds, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk to get their zoomies out, or an overnight stay, I’ll follow your pet’s routine like it’s my own. My goal is to make your pets feel like you never left and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I don’t just watch pets. I bond with them. You’ll get updates, love, and someone who truly cares Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my own pets daily. I enjoy spending time with animals and easily work visits or walks into my flexible schedule. In my home or my client’s, I create a calm, safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their routine, respect any rules or preferences, and always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and trust.
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!
“Haley was on time, took great care of our baby. He was happy and cared for when we got back. Took him on long walks. She also painted a portrait of Pepsi that looks just like him 💕 would rebook and recommend”
About: I have been endowed with the responsibilities over the years of independently caring for children and pets alike! I’ve been asked to take care of a number dogs including a white pitbull, a Weimaraner and bichon frisée. I grew up with three dogs total as well. I had a white Samoyed named Sheena, a black loving lab named Dakota and a poodle named Max. I have a natural way as a caregiver as I am always aware and attentive to the needs and sensitivities of those within my care! I have a natural caring and protective way. At these times, my husband and I are pursuing our business online and therefore have a very flexible schedule! We currently have luxury of creating our own schedules. I look after pets in my clients homes with care, respect and attention. I give care and attention to the maintenance of the home as well as the total care and support of any animals in which I am pet sitting.

“We feel so grateful and blessed to have had Camille watch our kids. It was our first time using Rover and it couldn't have gone any better. We have one very chill cat and one very neurotic Chihuahua and she was great with both. We did a couple of meetups beforehand to get our dog more comfortable and it was so helpful. This was our first real vacay without them, so suffice it to say...we were nervous!! No need to be, she updated us with photos and videos regularly. We felt so much better and at ease knowing she was taking care of our precious babes!! We are huge fans of Camille in this household and would not hesitate to call on her again and again!! She loved them like they were her own! She is the very best!! ????”
“Rachel is such a lovely person and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She was very communicative and left the sweetest letter to my pets after her stay. I can tell she really connected with them and that makes me so happy. She stepped in at the last minute, and took care of everything over the thanksgiving holiday. Did great with our both our cats and our Corgi. A true gem! We will definitely book her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Niguel
Austin was communicative throughout the weekend that he stayed at our house to watch our German shepherd! Our dog isn’t the best on the leash with other dogs, and we totally trusted him knowing he had experience with other dogs like this. Came back to a house that seemed untouched. Would absolutely recommend him and use him 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!!
Gabriela has taken care of our dog, Blue, a few times now and stayed overnight with him at our house! We highly recommend Gabriela as she takes our dog for multiple walks a day, cares for him, and is very communicative with us during our time away. She sends us updates and photos of our dog while we are gone which is very appreciated.
Thank you so much, Janet! We really appreciated how you rolled with some unexpected plan changes—it made things much less stressful on our end. We also loved receiving a photo update every day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks again for taking care of everything and for being so communicative throughout.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laguna Niguel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laguna Niguel on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,880 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 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.

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.
