About: I am both friendly and respectable to animals. Ive had the privilege to live with my families Lhasa apso for 12 years, so I am qualified with the basic necessities to care for any 4 legged friend. I am currently flexible with my time, so scheduling anything at the last minute is fine by me. I spend most of my time at a art studio with plenty of room and is pet friendly. I would to be aware of any medical or special needs that your pet my have before any hand off. If you need to drop off your dog with me, I have a studio space with plenty of room for any dog to run around.
“Robin was an absolute life saver for my diabetic kitty. She was extremely patient and kind with him even though he did not want to cooperate all the time. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’m so grateful that we found her and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Sofiya was absolutely amazing! She did drop in visits at my house in the evening and my cat loved her. She sent me loads of pictures and videos and great updates throughout my trip. She is super communicative and did a great job! Will definitely book 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. I work from home most of the week, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible with pets who need companionship during the day. I do work in the office once a week, during which I’m gone for the full workday, but I communicate clearly and plan care accordingly. 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 taken care of my two dogs since I was 10 at home in Oklahoma and have dog sat for my friends/family since I was 15. I am currently 22 and I’ve been experienced with big and small dogs, energetic and chill dogs, and quiet and louder dogs. I genuinely love spending time with pets so sitting them does not feel like a job usually. Dogs bring me so much joy that I always treat each one like they are my own :) I am a recent graduate of UC Irvine and now am taking a gap year to gain research experience & continue to do minimal work on the side. Since I’m out of school and only work a couple of hours out of the week, I am extremely flexible (besides Thursdays as it is my lab day). I will always work around my schedule and yours to the best I can! Also, I do not have my own pet at my household so my full attention will be on yours :) If I am sitting at a client’s home, I will first take note of the house rules and dog sitting rules the client provides me. My dog sitting experience will be based off and centered around those factors. If I am dog sitting in my own home, I will make sure the pet is away from any things that can be broken or can harm the pet. I will walk and play with the dogs periodically and feed/provide water as needed as well.

I can pet sit days , nights, over nights . I have experience in staying with people's pets overnight . Im a student so live on campus but can pet sit in clients homes . I have experience in this .

“DanaRene was fantastic! Lots of pictures and detailed updates every day, playtime with my kitty - she even left a little handmade toy for us to play with. My cat has been struggling with chin acne and DanaRene did such a good job treating it that I came home to it nearly completely cleared up. Definitely my go to sitter in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. For the past five years, I've been a proud dog dad to my corgi, Juju, which has given me firsthand experience with the daily needs, routines, and personalities that make every dog unique. As a teacher, I am naturally patient, responsible, and detail-oriented. I understand the importance of consistency, clear communication, and building trust with both with pets and their owners. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for overnight sitting Sunday through Thursday nights, as well as drop-in visits and dog walks from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain the routine they are already familiar with. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences provided by the owner. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
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: 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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Laguna Woods is $25

Thanks to Laurie we have had another successful trip without worrying about our cat. Laurie is the best! We can always count on her to make sure Benny gets his treat each visit and has his food, water, and litter refilled. He also gets play time with Laurie each day. We also appreciate all the updates and photos Laurie sends us. Thank you Laurie! :)
Jacqueline took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away, & we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, & genuinely caring, which helped our fur baby feel comfortable & at ease. She provided excellent communication throughout our trip, sending thoughtful updates & photos that gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, which says everything. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, & truly caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jacqueline, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🩷🐾
I have used Lana to take care of my beloved dog skipper. I would highly recommend her as she is hands-down. The best person you will ever find to take care of your pets. She is unsurpassed in her attention to detail and this is not a job for her. It's her passion if you are in the Laguna Hills area and need someone to take care of your pet. She is the one sincerely Larry Pagliarulo.
I’ve booked with Michele a few times now and she’s always great! I appreciate her communication and the care she takes in accommodating my dogs’ needs. I have a pretty shy dog and she was great with letting him warm up to her. I’ve been very happy with her service!
Susana was great with Romulus. We reached out to her for a unique request to handle our dog during our courthouse wedding and she was open, flexible, and very willing to help. Romulus is a big, high-energy dog, and she handled him so well throughout the day. She kept him calm, managed him during photos, and made everything easy and stress-free for us. She was professional, kind, and genuinely caring with our dog. She even sent us wonderful photos of him she took herself. We're so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Hayley really put our minds at ease when we were away as we trusted her both with our cat and our home! She was reliable, meticulous, communicative and delightful. Our shy introverted cat adores her and it was obvious that Hayley cared very much both about our cat and about doing a good job. We loved receiving the cute photos and videos of our Cat she shared. Hayley is a gem and we hope she will come back next time to help out we are away! Thank you Hayley!
I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Laguna Woods stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
