“DanaRenne was great with our buddy! She was very attentive to Rex’s routine. She respected our home and was very communicative. This was the first week of her walking Rex and we feel very comfortable and happy with her service. Thank you DanaRenne! 🐶💗”

“Susanna had nice chemistry with my dog. He was willing to go and came home excited. That’s how he acts when he gets a good walk. This has been so helpful for me because I’m not able, and my husband who always walked him before is I’ll and cannot walk him either.”

“Rachel was great with my dog Cayden! I messaged her on such short notice & she made time to come meet my dog on Sunday so he could adjust to her & she was able to walk him that Tuesday after. She was very caring and loving with him & my cat. Cayden was very happy in the pictures she sent me from their walk together.”
About: I have worked as a vet assistant for 3 years with 15+ years of animal care experience. Experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. Comfortable administering medications, injections, and providing specialized care. As a lifelong animal owner, I treat every pet like family and strive to provide dependable, loving care you can trust. 🐾 I am currently an online Clinical Psychology student and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I can accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of playtime, companionship, and supervision. As a veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and following detailed care instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection to help pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs almost my entire life. I got my first dog when I was 12 and from there on out I have always had at least one. I have always pet sit for family and friends when needed and now I’m looking forward to expanding my services to others. I live in a home and have a fenced in yard. I am used to giving medications if needed and can also care for senior dogs (I have one myself!) I have 2 dogs as of now so your dog will always have someone to play with 😊 I work from home so I am home nearly all day unless I have an errand to run I work from home so I am always home! I also have a backyard where they can run around whenever they want. I usually leave the door cracked for easy in/out access and I have a fully fenced in yard I have a fenced in yard and do frequent potty breaks! If your dog is crate trained I can keep them on whatever schedule they are used to at home. Throughout the years I’ve had to administer my fair share of medication so if your dog needs any medication I would be more than happy to administer! If they come to my home, they will always have a friend to play with since I have 2 dogs myself 🙂

With your permission and depending on my schedule, we may head out for a walk to a nearby park. Throughout the day, dogs are supervised and let out into the backyard every 2–3 hours for potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air. I love providing lots of love and attention through backyard playtime, calm indoor and outdoor activities, head scratches, and belly rubs. Mealtimes are always kept consistent with your dog’s regular routine. I’m home most of the day and only step out occasionally for Rover walks, drop-in visits, or quick errands. During those times, dogs at home are supervised by my husband. Evenings are all about winding down with a walk to the park, dinner, final potty breaks, and calm relaxation before settling in comfortably for the night. You’ll receive photo and video updates each day, so you never miss a moment of your pup’s stay. 😊 Group Size & Temperaments It’s always nice to make new friends! I keep boarding and daycare groups small, usually four dogs or fewer at a time. Each group is thoughtfully booked based on size, energy level, and personality to provided a positive experience for everyone. It’s a wonderful way for your pup to meet new friends in a calm, supervised environment. 🛡️ Safety First Your pup’s safety is my top priority. I ’m trained in American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid. I’ve also completed my hands on trading and received my Pet Tech CPR & First Aid Certification, 2026 All walks are always leashed, we avoid interactions with other dogs, and our home is fully secured with locked gates, a two-layer front door, and in/outdoor security. Backyard play, sun bathing and potty breaks are always supervised.
About: Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile! I’ve always had love for dogs, especially small ones. I had a miniature poodle my whole life growing up, for about 15 years 🤍. I have a male mini. Schnauzer pup named Rex, he’s my baby! ❤️ I’d love to introduce him to other small dogs and I think this is a great way to do so. He’s super friendly and loves to have furry friends around. 💜 On weekends I am usually home all day. I am able to do morning, afternoon and evening walks. If I need to step out, I am more than willing to bring your furry friend along with me if possible. 🐾 I am able to have your pet be in my presence for most, if not all day during the weekends. When they are at my home, they will be free to enjoy my living space. I am very clean and organized and will be vigilant of your pet and their surroundings. I typically only host 1 pet per day, unless they are “siblings” and come from the same home then I am happy to host them.🦮🐕🦺 🏠💗
About: Been a Chihuahua mom for over 20 years have two at the moment! Happy to help watch your little guy too! Firm believer that dogs are better than people. 10+ years of volunteer expertise at local animal shelters dealing with puppies,senior, aggressive and ill animals as well! Always been a pet lover! Unfortunately, I'm allergic to cats so I can't have any of my own, but I do have two of my own little Chihuahuas that I get to spend most of my time with because I work from home! My two little Chihuahuas are my children! I treat them with love and care and promise to do so with your baby as well! Happy to stop by for walks or just some attention time.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! I have personal and professional experience with dogs, cats, birds, small animals, and reptiles. As a recent graduate with a bachelor's degree in animal science, I have extensive knowledge in pet care and animal enrichment. I am currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time in the day to entertain and care for your pet/pets if I were to be house sitting. Alternatively, I have plenty of availability for drop in visits or walks as needed. For house sitting, I would carry on your pet's schedule as if you were home. Walks, food, and any other hygiene or health care routines would be carried out as usual. I am also capable of maintaining home care routines and chores as well, garbage, watering plants, etc.
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was a little girl and have always treated them with the love and respect that they deserve. I’ve raised a puppy of my own during COVID which was humbling but extremely rewarding as he is truly the best boy and now my best friend. I’ve been around dogs of all ages all my life and understand that each dog is different, each with their own personality, just like us humans. I have the patience it takes to understand dogs and know that it’s not always easy for them to express themselves, body language being a huge thing I look at. Owning an orange tabbycat of my own, I also have experience with understanding a cat’s needs and although they can be more skiddish, they seek and deserve just as much care and attention. I hope I have the opportunity to help you to take care of your pet in whatever way I can, and trust that they are under my safe and full supervision. I’m currently working full time but am available and eager to help you with your pets on afternoons, nights and weekends. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m happy to help. I live in Lake Forest and work full time in Mission Viejo, so I am willing to go anywhere in the South OC area to care for your fur babies! I have a small dog and cat of my own at home, so I can understand how much caution goes into owning and taking care of a pet. My priority is making pets feel comfortable and safe in a place where they can both have fun and relax, because we all deserve to feel that peace at home. As a pet parent, I always check that risky items are stored away so that there’s less room for error, that there’s always access to food and water (unless instructed otherwise of course!) and that fun toys are in reach!
About: I have had a dog for many years but she passed 3 years ago and since then I have kept neighbors and families dogs and at one time had 5 chis for nine days! I love them so much I am free most days and some weekends for overnight care also just walking. But . I always take them for walks at least 3 times a daywould want them brought to my house I do have pet insursnce but so very careful when I walk them always very close to me! always wash their paws after a walk!
About: All my life I've had dogs, cats, bunnies. etc... Currently an empty nester, I'm happy to lovingly care for your fur-babies from A-Z. Leave 🐶😸 with me and you'll be worry free. I'll attend to all of your beloved pets needs. As a retiree, I have plenty of time available. Advance bookings and cancelations are best but, I can often accommodate last minute bookings. Week days are preferable but, I'm flexible and can do weekends too. Short stays and long stays are options to assist you with your needs for your pets at my home or yours. I will be the kind and firm alpha ~ keeping your beloved pet safe, happy, and well tended to. Anybody can just watch your fur-baby, I care about your pet and pay attention to details. Also, I can help with special needs such as, puppies, seniors, handicaps, medications, bathing , some grooming, and a little training.
“Logan was fantastic! She was so patient with our dog who was a little timid before walking. Logan is always very responsive and quick to get back to you. I would highly suggest her for any of your pets!”


About: Growing up, I was always the neighborhood walker and sitter, and love talking my own pets on adventures! I know how to listen to an animal and do my best to understand their needs so they can feel as loved and enriched as possible! I am incredibly flexible! I love day time walks, but I'm also very open to evening walks depending on the area. I am also incredibly flexible with my check-ins, especially if they are close by. I don't currently offer sitting in others or my own home! Regardless, I aim to treat everyone, their pets, and their environment with the upmost respect!
About: Hello pet lovers! I have been taking care of pets past 15 years. Dogs, cats or bunnies I had them all:). I lost my Sonny dog couple years ago who was on my 15 year journey every single day. He had the best dog life by hanging out with other dogs all day long or keeping a company to our dog visitors. I live in a home with fenced green backyard which is the best place for your sweet pets to relax in. Don’t be afraid to leave you pet in my hands. A small treat, a little bit of gentle petting, and a nice walk in a park and your pet is my best friend forever. Dog walking or dog sitting I love it all!!!!
About: I've taken care of cats, hamsters, gerbils, and dogs for family and friends since I was young. I wasn't allowed pets growing up, so I made it my mission to be the go-to sitter to get my fill of cuddles, scritches, nose boops, toebean massages, pets, love, and play. I've also volunteered at a pet shelter as a cat socializer and was able to find some loving furever homes for many. I am a compassionate animal lover and will take care of your furbaby like s/he is my own because I know how much they mean to you. I'm also good at taking photos of your pets and I can definitely send you pictures through text while you are away. My schedule is generally pretty flexible. We can always work something out to work with your needs. I do prefer to meet with you and your pet(s) prior to any scheduling, so that we both feel comfortable and get to know one another beforehand. Note on housesitting: My $48 rate only includes the overnight stay. If you require additional dog walking during the day or an extended stay, additional fees will apply. I am available to come to your place to walk or play with your dogs, feed and play with your cats or other animals when you're away or if you're swamped with a long day of work. I can come several times a day if necessary. I can do overnight stays, but am very selective with this option and always require a meet and greet beforehand, normally accompanied by my husband, for safety. I am great at cuddles and am very patient. I realize that some pets are sometimes apprehensive of new people and that's okay, I can work with that. I will never pressure a pet in any way without having built a great connection prior, but I can say that i've never had a pet not eventually love me. I pay close attention to detail and am good at following instructions, so please let me know of anything important beforehand. I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can work with you to accommodate as best as possible. I will let you know when I am unavailable ahead of time. I follow any instruction you leave me so that your pet’s schedule and routine is as minimally disrupted as possible. Staying in their home is usually the best option as that is where they are most comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Woods
Madison is beyond awesome! It’s clear she’s been around animals her whole life and can easily adapt to a particular dog’s needs. She adjusted to horrible construction conditions around our residence and my guy is very reactive to loud sounds. She knew when to encourage to push further and when to listen to “I want to go home.” She’s our go-to now!

I highly recommend Gabriella!! She arrived right on time and was incredibly sweet from the moment she walked in. It’s always a relief to see your dog instantly warm up to someone, and it’s clear she has a natural gift with animals. My pup responded so well to her and came back happy and relaxed. I will absolutely be booking her again!

Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!

Thank you Caroline for your last minute help with feeding and walking our girl, Ziggy! It was great chatting with you as well! Thank you for your professionalism and loved reading Ziggy’s report card/photos. She sure has warmed up to you and is very comfortable around you. She loved seeing her bestie dog friends, Sammy and Stanley!! Thanks for the photos!!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog receives! From the very first walk, it was clear that Ashley has such a gentle touch and a natural way with dogs. Ashley handles my dog with both confidence and kindness, which immediately made me feel comfortable trusting her. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives for a walk. It’s obvious that she feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely happy in her care. That kind of bond and trust means everything to me as a pet parent. She also hosted my dog for a full week at her home, and the experience was wonderful. My dog settled in beautifully and clearly enjoyed her stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in a loving environment where she was comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and caring. I happily continue to use her every week for daily walks and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.

It was my first time using Rover for my pet, Cory, and I truly appreciated the experience. Everything went exactly as I expected. Solmaz was on time and very kind to Cory. Even though it was the first time Cory met her, he immediately felt comfortable with her, listened to her instructions, and clearly enjoyed being around her. She also kindly gave Cory a complimentary wash, which was a very thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate her care and professionalism, and I would definitely recommend Solmaz.

Shannon was fantastic! Needed my Dobie fed and walked for 2 days while I was away 6am - 8pm. After an initial meet & greet, I felt Shannon was right for the job and she exceeded expectations. In addition to providing the necessary poop & pee report, she added additional commentary and plenty of photos. Bianca seemed happy each night when I returned home. I will definitely use Shannon again when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Laguna Woods on Rover is $20.33 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Laguna Woods. 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 your Laguna Woods. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Laguna Woods.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Woods. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
