“Elise was absolutely wonderful with Duncan! From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to know he was being well cared for, and I never had to worry. Duncan was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. I would highly recommend Elise to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!”

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: I have 3 cats of my own who I love more than anything! I have been dog and cat sitting for many years. I have done this for friends, family members and roommates. I love all pets and I can’t wait to meet your fur child! I work in healthcare 3 days a week so I have a flexible schedule for walks and visits. I am able to accept same day requests when I am not at work. I follow all instructions provided by the owner. I am attentive to the pet’s needs and safety. I will provide the best possible care for your pet!

Communication was awesome. We knew Eddy was being fed, walked, and loved. Alyssa went above and beyond and is welcome in our house anytime because we consider her part of our family now.”

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: I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a big decision, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and happy while you're away. I take the time to get to know each animal's personality, preferences, and routine—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving them space when needed, or spending extra time playing and giving affection. I’m attentive to signs of stress, changes in behavior, or anything unusual, and I’ll always keep you updated with honest communication, photos, or check-ins, however often you prefer. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll be genuinely cared for. I treat animals with patience, kindness, and respect, and I’m always happy to follow any instructions or special needs they may have. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible weekly schedule! I am a morning person so have no problem going to your home early if needed. Depending on the type of sitter you are looking for, I shave no problem spending quality time with your animal in the comfort of your own home or if you need someone to check in on your sweet, independent pets!

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.

“I knew Radhika was the right person for Sasha as she accepted her right away which she typically doesn't do. Sasha is a Bengal who needs alot of attention, stimulation and exercise. I had 2 daily visits for 9 days. Radhika was great, sending photos, videos, and any updates. She created new games to play with Sasha. Even brought my Amazon packages in! Thank you Radhika for taking care of my Sasha. I highly recommend Radhika!!!😻”

ALISO VIEJO, CA, 92656

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: I have 2 dogs currently, Bodhi is 4 and I’ve had him since he was a baby from the shelter, raised and trained myself, he is a mix of husky, gsd, doberman, pitull so he’s hight drive! Beanie,5 year old staffy mix and they are both the sweetest friendly pups! I grew up with dogs in my aunt and dad’s homes from many GSD’s, great danes, bulldogs and min pins. My dogs are young and hyperactive so we spend a lot of time daily with exercise and play, as well as caring attention. We reinforce training and socialization throughout the week as well. Of course I will follow any guide or instructionl, but my home is open and has a yard available, and in your home follow a typical routine.

About: I’ve had all types of dogs - giant and small! I love animals and am happy to help care for any animals from babies to senior. I am a physician assistant but am currently taking some time off, so my schedule is quite open to fit your pets needs into my routine! I’m typically open throughout the day. I offer play time and snuggles with your pet(s) during each drop-in visit. I will also give treats (if ok with owner) and ensure the animals have ample water! I am flexible and willing to work with owners to learn their routines and preferences.

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.

We hired Seren for the first time for drop in visits for our cat for 5 days. She visit our Karma twice a day and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our kitty was doing and what she did during the visit. This was my first time leaving my cat home alone (we normally do housesitting) so I was a little nervous and worried she would be lonely. But Seren provided excellent care and attention, I know our Karma enjoyed her staycation! Thanks Seren!

Matthew was an amazing cat sitter for us. He communicated well and would send us daily updates about the cats. He gave them meds and even emptied the litter! He spent extra time with them playing and making sure they got everything they needed. Our house was just as spotless as when we left town. Would highly recommend.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Monkey and Hammy! This was my first time leaving them alone, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She took such great care of them, spent time playing with them, and sent me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was so comforting to see that they were happy, comfortable, and doing just fine while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I came home to two happy kittens! I would absolutely trust her with Monkey and Hammy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful cat sitter. ❤️

I’m very happy to have found Katelyn for occasional check ins. She is very friendly, reliable and punctual. She did everything exactly how I explained. Her experience as an RVT really gave us peace of mind since we have a diabetic dog thats needs insulin injections and medication.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Laguna Niguel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laguna Niguel is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 7,389 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laguna Niguel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
