“Daly was incredible. My family and I were out of country for 2 weeks on vacation. We had never left our dog with anyone before and we were very nervous about it. Daly is very sweet and confident around us and our dog. Our dog was 1year and very high energy at times, but Daly was un-phased by the challenge. She has a lot of experience around animals and it shows. Being on complete opposite times zones was challenging, but Daly sent video, photos, updates and questions along the way to make sure we were informed about our dog everyday. It was absolutely perfect. I have no concerns about recommending her to friends and family and she will definitely be our dog’s go-to caregiver in the future!”

About: I’m a proud pet parent with a Border Collie and a cat of my own. Living with a high-energy Border Collie has taught me the importance of regular exercise, patience, structure, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I also serve in the U.S. Navy, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, as well as cats who may need a gentler and quieter approach. I always prioritize safety and will treat every pet with the same care and attention I give to my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active with dogs. I keep my availability updated and do my best to be reliable and flexible for scheduled walks and drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always communicate clearly with pet parents and follow their preferred routines whenever possible. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. As a pet parent to both a Border Collie and a cat, I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and pay close attention to behavior and routines. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed and supervised at all times. My experience serving in the U.S. Navy has also strengthened my sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I’ll treat every pet with the same patience, care, and respect that I give to my own pets.

About: I started bringing rescue animals home at 10 years old which led me to my first job working with dogs, which led to a lifelong pursuit of working with animals. Your dog will be treated like my own and I will care for your pets to your specific instructions. I just moved back to California from Texas and work part time in an office and use the rest of my time to take the best care of your fur baby in whatever way necessary. Safety is of the upmost importance and I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure a safe, yet fun environment for your pup. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and am confident I can handle whatever your pup needs.

About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up in a home with cats and dogs. This continued through out my adult life as well.

About: I grew up with 5 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I genuinely love spending time with every fur baby — whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student at UCI living on campus! I have a car and a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention honestly feels more fun than work to me. I’m very responsible with my time and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets, I currently offer care in my client’s home through walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and anything else their pet may need. I also love giving pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away!

About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I love senior pets who prefer a quiet day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I set up my apartment for my senior dog so that it was safe and comfortable for him until he passed. I love being on the first floor, have a low bed, and covered the floors with rugs. I love senior pets especially. I have a quiet and calm home. Overall I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.

This was our second time using Hailey after her stellar service with a house sit! Hailey stopped by for a drop for my girls and found my dog had decided to tear apart a bag of Halloween decorations. Hailey informed me of the situation and went above and beyond to take care of the mess while making sure my girls were calm, loved, and less anxious before she left. When we got home, our girls were happy and content thanks to Hailey!

This was our second time booking with Hannah and as always, she was absolutely amazing!! One of our cats is special needs, so he takes some extra care and understanding and Hannah was wonderful with him as always. She’s always professional, on time, follows all directions perfectly, communicates wonderfully with detailed updates and pictures, and is overall just amazing with our two cats who I imagine aren’t the easiest.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Laguna Woods

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laguna Woods is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 8,965 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laguna Woods. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laguna Woods. 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 .

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.
