“Jennifer was absolutely amazing and left us not having to worry about our 3 kitties while we were away for the holidays. She took care of our house too and sent so many daily pictures and updates of everyone. We were happy to come home and just be with our cute kitties since everything was taken care of. Thank you again Jennifer, we will definitely be using you again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely can’t remember a home without animals. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all sizes. I grew up with a spunky Jack Russell Terrier who my family had for 20 years, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds, senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, comfortable with dogs that may be nervous or challenging, and always move at the pet’s pace. I regularly cat sit, am confident administering medication, and have experience with puppies, adults, and senior animals. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, it allows me to fully focus on the pets I’m caring for and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I work from home full time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible with pets who need companionship during the day. Your pet will never be an afterthought! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they feel secure and respected. I’m calm, observant, and patient, especially with anxious or high-energy pets. I follow instructions carefully, keep environments clean and hazard-free, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands whether I’m in your home or caring for them elsewhere.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life. My parents would send our current family dog, Shmi, a shepadoodle, to me when they were traveling! She can be very anxious, but making sure she had a consistent schedule and got plenty of exercise is key! I’m also intuitive when it comes to animals which helps a lot! I’m also a pet psychic and energy healer. I work remotely for a school Monday-Friday, so my schedule is very flexible for walks during the day. I do have certain meetings with breaks in between. I’ll treat your dog like I would treat my own! Doggies need plenty of care and attention. Their needs are priority! Having a schedule is key to ensure your pet feels safe in my care!
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!
“DanaRene gives so much play time to my kitties to make sure they are engaged while I’m away, is incredibly responsive, and takes her responsibility as sitter very seriously while also having fun with my pets.”
“Sofiya did everything we needed and more to make sure our pets and their space was well taken care of and comfortable. She sent pictures and updates about our cat and fish when she did house visits during the week that we were out of town. She did a very thorough job, and we will definitely have her help us out again in the future!”
About: Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve instead of squeezing walks into a busy day. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for a long adventure or prefers slow sniff walks and extra belly rubs, I'm happy to match their pace. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday potty break, an energetic walk, or a drop-in visit with playtime and belly rubs, I'm happy to fit your dog's routine into my day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, keep routines as consistent as possible, and make sure your dog gets plenty of attention during every visit. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering oral medications, and helping post-op dogs when needed. You'll also receive photo updates and a summary after each visit so you always know how your pup is doing.

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.

“This is our 2nd time having the honor of Ariana caring for our tiny Yorkie! Our little girl is very picky about who comes into her World! yet with Ariana Minnie gives her the paw of approval! When we returned, she was balanced clean and happy! This little pet is a family member and Ariana feels like family to her! She is sweet, friendly, caring and very cautious with our little Minnie.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laguna Woods
Megan has done a wonderful job caring for my cat, Jasper, while I’ve been away. He has clearly been missing me and feeling a little lonely, but she has given him plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. Megan kept me well informed about how he was doing and sent some wonderful photos that gave me great peace of mind. I’m very grateful for her kindness, diligence, and excellent communication, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable house sitter.
DanaRene is amazing! I've booked her a few times and she's lovely with the cats. Even my shyest one comes out to see her and play. Everything is spotless when I get back. She's really communicative, responsive, on time, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her.
We’re repeat clients of Jacqueline and couldn’t be more grateful for her! 🤍 She is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is cared for. We have complete peace of mind knowing our cat is in such good hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾
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!
Isabel took care of our two cats for two weeks while we were away. She did a wonderful job. Both of our cats loved her, and they were happy and relaxed when we came home. She was reliable and caring, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend Isabel and will book her again!
Amazing cat sitter!!!. She is very clean and organized and took excellent care of my kitten while I was away. She spent more time with them than scheduled, played with them, and they really loved her. She also sent photos during each visit. Miranda is very responsive.
Alison was wonderful with our two dogs while we were away at my daughters wedding. She sent photo updates and cute notes, which gave us total peace of mind. Our pups were happy, calm, and well-cared for when we got back. We will definitely book with her again!
Madison was great. Her communication was excellent and She gave Rocky lots of love , fed him and took him outside for his business. I was very impressed that she asked us if we wanted to do a meet and greet prior to having her come over. I will def use Madison again.
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. We adore Hannah and are grateful for her care!
Shannon was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sky! From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident that Sky was in great hands. She communicated with us every day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shannon genuinely cared about Sky and treated him like she was her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about how Sky was doing meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Shannon to watch Sky again. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laguna Woods is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 8,868 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 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 Woods. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
