“I recently had Hoai watch my dog for a few hours while I was out for the evening. I use her services regularly because she always takes such great care of my pup and keeps me updated throughout her stay. She’s incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and someone I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with. Highly recommend her!”
“Samantha is so great! She always gives great feedback as to what’s happening while I’m out of town. I get lots of pictures and updates of Jax, how he’s doing, if he’s eating, if he’s using the restroom, and all the treats that he gets while I’m away. She always leaves my place clean also. Would highly recommend.”
“David was truly awesome. I think our pets wish he was still there and we didn’t come back! He was very attentive and took such great care of them. He was also super communicative and sent pictures and an update every day. He was even flexible when our travel got messed up. I highly recommend him. He kept our pets and our house cared for and attended to. He is very thoughtful as well. Couldn’t ask for more.”
“This is my first time using Rower and I’m so glad I did. Katie made this process so easy for me. My dog Lucy is 15 1/2 and have never stayed with anyone before. Katie was great with her so much so that I’m going to trust her with Lucy for 16 days while I’m on vacation. Katie send me pictures of Lucy while under her care and when I came back Lucy was happy.”
“I highly recommend Alison to care for a family's pets. My wife, children and I were taking a vacation, and we were very concerned about entrusting our pet's safety and care with a stranger. A couple of weeks prior to our departure, we met with Alison for the first time. I immediately felt that Alison would provide great care for our three dogs who range from 35 lbs. to a 115 lbs. German Shepherd. A few days prior to our departure, Alison contacted us to confirm our departure time. On the morning of our departure, Alison arrived at our home promptly and we reviewed the dog's care and feeding schedule. Our departure went very smoothly. During our trip, Alison sent us daily texts, pictures and videos of our happy, well cared for dogs confirming Alison's great care for our dog's and our home. I strongly recommend Alison to care for your pets and your home.”
“I had the pleasure of having Sabrina as my dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with her services. She is not only great with the dogs but also excels in communication. Whenever she arrived, my dogs were overjoyed to see her, which is a testament to the strong bond she built with them. Sabrina is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares for the well-being of the dogs under her care. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”

“Viktoriia is so lovely and took wonderful care of my very energetic husky girl. I came home to a happy pup, and she didn't want Viktoriia to leave! Highly recommend her, she will make sure your baby has everything they need and is well fulfilled with exercise & love. We look forward to having her back soon!”
“Despite my hesitation about leaving Ella, our 15 week old puppy, Donna did a wonderful job house sitting for us. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on Ella’s well being with regular messages and photos. Donna was attentive, well prepared, and kept our home clean. I highly recommend her!”
“Claudia was an amazing pet-sitter to our dog and cat! After meeting her beforehand and seeing how happy Chase and Jojo were to see her, we knew they were in good hands! She sent us pics of our boys and kept us updated. Claudia is the sweetest and friendliest woman you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend her.”
“Barri was outsanding! I had never had anyone stay at the house before. Barri spent the time understanding our dog’s needs and being prepared in case if emergency. Of course the morning we were leaving our dog got a very bad ear infection. Barri was flexible and understanding. She picked up our dog from the vet and gave her great care and love while we were out of town. Looking forward to having Barri over again!!!”
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.
“Hi Robin watched our 12 week old puppy on Saturday June 7th she was very attentive to him as he is full of energy. She kept me in the loop the whole time I was gone she also took several photos and videos which I really appreciated and made me feel relaxed knowing our Brady wasn't good hands thank you Robin for all of your help we truly appreciate it. The Gubler family 🐾”
About: I take care of 5 of my dogs back home and I love them with my whole heart. Walking them, feeding them, training them, you name it! I’m currently away from them right now, and while I’m away from them, I wanna share my love to other dogs because every pup deserves it! I currently have a part-time job and only one class at school so I have a lot of time to invest for your pups any day. Just let me know in advance and I will be at your service! :) Taking care of 5 dogs for 5 years has trained me how to properly deal with dogs. Whether they are big or small, I believe I can handle them with love and care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Woods
Emma was incredible with our dog Bailey. Our dog is super attached to my wife and can have a little anxiety at times. Emma was the perfect fit for our dog and did a great job with her. She sent daily pics and notes that kept my wife at ease knowing our dog was doing ok while we were in Croatia for 12 days. I highly recommend Emma to walk or watch your pets. She is a the best.
This was our first experience with in home sitting. Joshua came to our home for an initial meet and greet and again before our trip to go over feeding, meds and a normal walk for my 2 Yorkie’s. Our girls easily connected to him, he sent daily updates and was very clean in our home. I definitely plan to book with him again in the future. I very much appreciate his overall communication.
Hailey was a fantastic fit for our babies! We booked a house sit for our wedding weekend, and it was such a relief knowing our pets and home were in good hands. Hailey was a great communicator and kept us updated with daily pictures and updates of our babies, which I really appreciated! Our dog was having some tummy/bathroom troubles while we were away, and Hailey took care of giving her the extra care and attention she needed to feel better. Thanks to Hailey’s excellent care, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying about our pets and would happily book again! Thank you Hailey!
Sabrina was amazing, communicative, and incredible with Athena. She’s well versed in medications and animal health which made me feel very comfortable as we were coming off of some digestive challenges. Will definitely be continuing to use Sabrina as much as she is available for our travels!
Samantha always takes good care of Jax. He’s getting a little older now and sometimes has little accidents. She just takes care of it and doesn’t even let him get embarrassed lol he’s warming up to her with a little bit of head butts and he’s always eager for treats. Love all the updates per usual and thank you for loving on Jax while I’m gone.
We are so thankful to Alison for her great care of our house and two Pomeranians for our short trip recently. From our first meet and greet we felt very comfortable with her friendly personality but also how she seriously and attentively listened to all our dog details. This was my first time using a rover sitter after my mom decided to retire from watching her grandpups. I was a little nervous to meet someone new, but Alison was so experienced and great, I immediately felt at ease. Durring her stay she was very responsive, and we always felt kept in the loop on how everyone was doing. There were no issues with our boy who takes meds twice a day and she was an expert with our silly ball-obsessed second pup! Our house was immaculate when we returned! We felt great knowing Alison was with our boys and would definitely be interested in hiring her again! Thank you so much Alison!!! 10/10!
Presley was a fantastic dog sitter. She was highly communicative and managed our finnicky dog well. Our dog fell in love with her immediately and Presley gave her the companionship needed while we were all away. I would highly recommend Presley for house overnites.
Nicolette took good care of my two big dogs while we were away for a week. My dogs need many walks, and are not always easy to manage, but she had no issues with them. We came home to two happy dogs and a very tidy house! She even found a way to get them to eat their pills! Thank you, Nicolette!
Nancy was great, and just who Glory needed. I had to go out of town over the 4th of July weekend, and I hadn't used the app before (or left my dog with someone she didn't know); naturally I was a little anxious for both of them during fireworks, but Nancy sent a video of my dog SLEEPING through the noise. Glory usually paces all night during the 4th, so she had some calming magic that did wonders. I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries in the end. Nancy sent me several updates in my absence assuring me that Glory had been walked and fed, and was doing well. Communication on all things leading up to the booking, as well as through, couldn't have been easier or better. Nancy is also wonderful in the housesitting aspect as well, everything was as I left it (if not a little cleaner in some regards!). If you need someone who has a calming and patient presence for your pet, or you have any hesitance with someone in your home, I highly recommend Nancy.
We booked Caroline very last minute, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but they immediately put our minds at ease with incredible communication and genuine care for Roxie. They sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which meant so much to our family and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and well cared for. It was obvious from the updates that Roxie was getting lots of attention, love, and great care. We are beyond grateful for how thoughtful, communicative, and caring they were—especially on short notice. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way, we absolutely recommend Caroline We would gladly book with them again!
Nicole was an amazing dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She gave us daily updates along with lots of photos and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She took such great care of our dog, Rex, and it was obvious he was happy and well loved the entire time. We would absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Jen has been WONDERFUL with our dog and cat! She always sends us picture updates so that we know that our animals are happy and safe. Jen was always flexible with our weird schedules (my husband and I both work nightshift). We hope Jen can watch our dog and cat again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a very caring pet sitter!

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 Woods 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 Woods 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woods 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 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.
