“Susana was fantastic, she checked on my two kitties while I was away on vacation. She sent photos and I loved the peace of mind knowing my pets were safe, happy, and fed in my absence!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a kid, so I know the difference between a dog that's "fine" and a dog that's genuinely happy, exercised, and relaxed. These days I share my home with my own pets and a fully fenced yard. For walks, I focus on pace and sniff time your dog wants. For drop-ins, I treat your home like I'd want mine treated: doors locked, routines followed, and your dog getting real attention. I'll send photo updates so you know your pup is in good hands, and I'm happy to do a free meet & greet first to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. I work remote from home, which means I'm around and available after 3pm on weekdays and open most weekends. So I can reliably fit in walks and drop-in visits without rushing, pet care isn't squeezed between other things, it's part of an already flexible routine. I follow your dog's routine — feeding times, walk length and pace, and any house rules you've set. At the first meet & greet, I walk through where supplies are, exit routes, and any quirks, so there's no guessing on visit day. Each visit, I check food and water, spend real one-on-one time, and make sure your home is secured exactly as I found it. Doors locked, gates closed. You'll get photo updates so you can see your dog is settled and happy. At home, I've spent years keeping a routine built around a fenced yard and multiple pets, so I bring that same consistency into your home too. With cats, I follow your routine. Feeding schedule, litter habits, and any medication or quirks you've told me about. At the meet & greet, I let your cat approach me on their terms and make note of favorite hiding spots, so I'm not a stressful stranger on visit day. Each visit, I check food, water, and litter, and spend time with your cat if they're up for it. No forcing interaction if they'd rather keep their distance. I leave your home exactly as I found it, and send photo updates so you know things are calm and on track. After 11 years with my own cat, I know that good care often means reading the room more than doing a checklist.
“Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱”
About: Headline: Reliable dog sitter with trusted family experience Pet Care Experience: Responsible dog sitter with experience caring for family pets since age 14.

I also follow all instructions carefully, including any specific feeding or medication needs.
“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’ve been a dog owner for over 7 years, caring for my own dogs and gaining experience with daily routines, behavior, and well-being. Additionally, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s going on walks or just spending quality time with them, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and focused on creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I’m a second year student at Saddleback Community College and have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m also flexible and can work around your schedule. I’m very flexible depending on what your pups needs are! I’m very attentive and want to make sure dogs are as comfortable and happy as they can be.
“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 (-:”
“Crystal did an amazing job taking care of our two bunnies while we were away for the week. Super attentive to detail, responsive, and cared for them as we would. We highly recommend her. Thanks again Crystal!!! :)”
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.
“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.”
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: 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.
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!!!!
“Karina was timely in communications and prompt for the drop-in visit. She had a great feedback for me on how Piglet did while I was gone. Definitely look forward to having Karina sit Piglet again. Thank you, Karina!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Laguna Woods is $25

Daley is an amazing dog walker and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for services in or around South Orange County. She is very attentive, punctual, and communicative! She gave me updates on how my pup was doing on her walks and gave recommendations for care. She is very knowledgeable from her experience at a vet! 10/10!
Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱
I completely trust Radhika with my cats and feel in peace when she watches them. She is very good with them, even with the territorial, feisty one. She follows all the instructions and goes above and beyond every time. I appreciate her a lot and cannot recommend her enough!
Annie is a great catsitter - she is communicative, responsible, thoughtful, and kind. It meant a lot to me that she took her time warming up to my skittish calico, Truffles, & I saw that Truffles warmed up to her fast through the photos that Annie had sent. Truffles avoids people easily so for Truffles to be in close proximity to Annie and to bunt her hand speaks volumes about Annie being an approachable and welcoming catsitter. My male cat, Soba, was also happy to be fed treats from Annie. I appreciate Annie’s detailed check-ins and would highly recommend her!
Michelle is wonderful with our puppy Tobie and has been a great help to us on the day we both work and can't be home with him. She has been caring for him since he was 2 months old. He is now 6 months and we are looking forward to many more with Michelle! I highly recommend her.
This was our second extended booking with Hannah, and once again she was great. She was so patient and understanding with my more challenging, aggressive cat while also giving my sweet, easygoing cat plenty of love and attention. It’s not easy finding someone who can confidently handle both, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her, especially if you have a pet that needs a little extra patience or understanding.
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.
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.

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.
