“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“Banafshe went above and beyond with George. He had some last minute medical issue which required some extra care (pills and a daily paw wash) and Banafshe was willing to attend to them and give George the extra love he needed. She is fantastic and you can tell how much she loves our 🐶!!”
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”
“We had a really nice experience with Saeedhe taking care of Winter. She truly enjoys what she does and genuinely loves dogs, Winter was happy and we would definitely love for her to take care of him again in the future!”
“We cannot thank Annie enough. Our dog required medication and a carefully managed diet while recovering from pancreatitis, and Annie handled everything with such professionalism and compassion. She monitored her closely, communicated frequently, and truly went above and beyond. We felt incredibly supported and confident in her care.”
“We love Jocelyn ❤️ she was amazing with our Lalo. It was our first time leaving him and she put us at ease. We received lots of photos everyday and amazing communication. Yumi (Jocelyn dog) is the sweetest. We will definitely book again if needed. Thank you ❤️”
“Thuy took great care of my dog and I'm very happy to choose her for watching my dog. She was very accommodating and responsive to messages. Photos provide of my dog while she was was there were great to see. My dog is very shy and Thuy was great with being patient and caring.”
“Ellie (and her family) were SO incredible. She was so great on the meet and greet - it didn’t bother her at all that our pup is high energy - and she just adored our dog. It made me feel so safe and relaxed knowing that we were leaving our dog with people who loved him! Her dogs are lovely, too. She took them on big long walks, lots of play and snuggle time and - even better for my anxious heart - SO MANY videos and pictures with updates on how he was doing. 100/10 recommend Ellie!!!! 🩵🐾”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Emely was great! She even picked up our pup for us and brought him to her house. She was in very frequent communication with updates and photos the whole time! Our minds were at ease about our fur baby the whole time we were traveling! Thank you Emely! See you next time :)”
“Thanks so much for being flexible in scheduling the drop-off and pick-up for our little boy Bentley! He was well cared for, and I appreciate your keeping me updated on his activities with photos and videos. I think he especially liked that someone was always around!”
“I have boarded my cat, Oreo, with her twice, and each experience has been wonderful. You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Her home is very clean, safe, and full of things that cats enjoy, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Oreo in her care. Every day, she sent detailed updates with photos and videos, along with information about Oreo’s health, appetite, and overall well-being. I really appreciated how attentive and thorough she was. Most importantly, Oreo always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives me great peace of mind knowing she is in such loving hands while I’m away. I would absolutely book with her again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Oreo! 🐱❤️”
“Claudia was amazing with our dog, Marleau! She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved since he has so much energy. She was in constant communication and sent photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to details, especially making sure he got his allergy medication. Marleau came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Claudia again!”
“Linda is very friendly and caring for our dog, Moca. They get along very well. Gives us update and send us pictures. She’s also very understanding about Moca’s behavioral changes due to loneliness and anxiety issues after losing his brother, Bowser. Moca likes staying in her house that he almost doesn’t want to leave when we’re about to go home. Highly recommended.”
“Radhika is great! We boarded our anxious dog with her for four days and they had a wonderful time. She is very responsive and gives consistent and frequent updates. Highly recommend.”
“Wen really took special care of Rocket in her home and with her family. I’m so happy he could spend time with her children and I think he really loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Rocket will be back❤️”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Kuma! He looked very happy and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and communication. Would absolutely book again!”
“Priscilla and her family were wonderful with our precious Penny. This was our first time leaving her for such a long time -- while Penny is a sweetheart, she can also be a handful because of her youthful exuberance. Priscilla (along with husband and kids) left us feeling so assured that Penny was thoroughly loved during our time away. Not only did Priscilla give us frequent updates with pics and videos, she also gave us training and enrichment tips with some of the toys they had vetted with their dog Finn beforehand and got to use with Penny while she was there. Their dog is also a sweetheart, and our two pups got along phenomenally which was a delight. Moreso, Penny really bonded with the whole family! During the latter half of our trip, we had a neighbor take care of her, and they drove her up to our building safe and sound =] I'm so much more confident about traveling knowing I can leave my girl in Priscilla's wonderfully capable and caring hands.”

Todd kept our Goldendoodle for 8 days last week. We were extremely happy with the care that he gave our pup. He regularly communicated with us, sharing stories and pictures. I would recommend Todd to anyone who has a special pup that likes a lot of attention. He's terrific!
Radhika was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she suggested a great drop-off approach that made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. She asked fantastic questions beforehand about his needs, which really showed how much she cares about getting to know each dog individually. She also sent lots of updates throughout his stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Our dog had a wonderful little vacation with her, and we would absolutely recommend Radhika!
Saeedeh was amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and was so loving and attentive with him. She sent us great updates throughout his stay, which made us feel completely at ease, and he seemed so happy and comfortable with her. You can tell she has such a big heart and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely book with her again. 10/10 recommend!

Grace had the best time with Neha and her family! Grace stayed an entire month so it was crucial for me to know that she was going to be taken care of appropriately, especially as I was going abroad. This is a stressful time for a dog owner as you want to be sure you are making the right choice. Immediately after meeting with Neha and her husband, I knew that she would be well at Neha's. Grace and Hachi (Neha's dog) hit it off nicely and got along together quickly. Neha's house was very welcoming and dog friendly. Neha and her husband were very kind, they wanted to be sure they could provide appropriate care for my dog and that their dog and mine would get along. All the conditions were there for me, really. During my trip, I was getting pictures daily, and I could tell Grace felt at home there, I saw her playing, resting, smiling. I almost fell bad she would have to leave because she no longer have dog friends to play with at home (my other dog passed away recently). I would definitely ask Neha to watch Grace again and we talked about having play dates for Grace and Hachi in the near future. 5 stars! Well deserved!
Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!
This was our first time leaving our Carly with anyone other than family and the first time ever leaving her this long (8 nights!). It is very clear that Sondra and Kirk are huge animal lovers and we felt comfortable leaving our "baby" in their care. Sondra was very communicative and Carly came home happy and exhausted :)
Wonderful and Caring Pet Sitter! Elmira was wonderful with our dog! She was very caring and attentive, followed the feeding schedule, took our pet on walks, and spent time playing and giving lots of attention. She also sent us plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her and book with her again!
My boxer Penelope said with Nick for a long weekend and will definitely be using his service again for my next trip. Nick is quick to respond, send pictures and updates and clearly has a system in place that works. After picking Penelope up she napped the rest of the day! Thank you, Nick for taking such great care of my dog that I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about the care of my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mission Viejo on Rover is $54.27 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,747 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mission Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Mission Viejo sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mission Viejo landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mission Viejo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mission Viejo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mission Viejo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
