“Emely did a great job looking after my Archie! It was my first time hiring a dog sitter and she made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her. Thank you so much Emely!!!! 💖💖💖🐶”
“We and our dog Cheeto absolutely love Lili. She made Cheeto feel at home while we were on vacation. We received lots of pictures and videos throughout his stay that made us feel at ease knowing he was safe and loved. We can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. After we got home, we mentioned that Cheeto was missing her, and she offered to see him again. We dropped him off for a couple of hours, and she even sent him home with a toy to make him happy. It was such a sweet gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Connor was fantastic! He accommodated a last-minute booking for Jupiter for three nights, and everything went perfectly. His home is very nice, clean, and well-suited for dogs. One particularly reassuring aspect is that his current household arrangement allows for someone to always be home, which provides great peace of mind. Connor also sent updates and photos throughout Jupiter’s stay. Overall, an excellent experience! I highly recommend Connor and look forward to using him again.”
“Xiaoying has such a wonderful setup for boarding cats. The boarding rooms were very professional and thoughtfully allotted to ensure my cat had ample enrichment and all needs met. She made sure to keep me updated about my cat’s wellbeing with daily photo updates and videos of which I greatly appreciated. I knew my pet was in good hands!”
“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!”
“Wen is a fantastic sitter. She kept me updated and took great care of my dog, sending many pictures and videos. My dog came back tired too so I know she had a good time. I'd like to use Wen in the future.”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Daley is amazing! She took such care to make sure my dog Cooper felt at home and was well attended to in my absence. She sent me pictures each day so I could see how he was doing and it brought me great comfort. I would use Daley again and again!”
“Lanie, Layla and I enjoyed meeting Amanda. We appreciate the pre-meet to get acquainted. She has an extensive knowledge of dog care, which put my mind at ease. We booked the stay and everything went great. Our dogs came home happy and it seems Lanie made a new friend in Amanda’s daughter. We plan to book with her again. Thanks, Amanda!”
“We booked Marta for a 15-day stay while we were away, and we really appreciated how well she cared for Milo. When our flight was delayed, she was super flexible and had no problem extending his stay by an extra day, which was such a relief. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. She also shared helpful tips to keep our dog healthy. Overall, we’re grateful to have had her look after our pup and keep him happy and safe while we were gone!”
“Elmira loves pets and took very good care of Ruby, and sent me lots of videos and photos of her while I was away, which was much appreciated, letting me see how Ruby was doing. She is very interested in learning what your pets are used to and trying to provide that, and is very responsive to any comments or concerns.”
“Jay and his wife are the kindest people! They treated Kafka like she was their own. We received consistent photo and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kafka looked so happy and comfortable with them, and it was clear she adjusted well considering she was away from us! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Kafka with them again!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Our family sitter fell through at the last minute due to a family emergency and we had to find another one quickly. Thankfully, SaeWon and her family were available. Our Coco is an anxious dog and requires attention when she’s in a new environment. SaeWon and her family took great care of her and assured us Coco was doing well, sending us updates and photos and videos. We can’t thank them enough for helping us out on such a short notice! ❤️🐶”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“What a great family and home to leave your pet at! Bandit enjoyed his stay and we got plenty of pictures to prove it. I will definitely be reaching out if I need pet sitting service again.”
“We had an amazing experience with this family watching our dogs! They treated them like part of their own family and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily updates, pictures, and videos—they made us feel connected and reassured the entire time. Our dogs looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear they genuinely love animals. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Viejo
Lorelle was great with Adam. She administered him medications with no problems and attended to his special needs. She was very communicative and sent photos or videos regularly. I felt like Adam was in good hands with Lorelle, she is very experienced and is very kind.
Caring and accommodating! Lindy integrated our Quinoa into her family (kids and pets) seamlessly. I don't think our dog missed us at all.....great walks, lots to do. I won't hesitate to book her again. She was a pleasure to work with and sent numerous pics and videos while we were away. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
Anu was our first sitter experience with Rover, and she made the process easy and stress-free. She provided many photos and videos, and gave us a detailed report on things (arthritis flare-up and allergies) we’d flagged for her when we met. We can’t wait to use Anu again!
Radhika was great with my senior dog! She was patient with him as he adjusted to a new space and administered his medication on time. My dog had so much fun while he was there, he almost didn’t want to leave! She also sent many photos and updates so I never worried about him while we were away.
My dog and I had our meet and greet and instantly fell in love with Patty and her family. My dog jumped on the couch and fell asleep, he seemed to feel right at home. He also became BFF with her puppy Glitch. I was gone for 3 weeks and was 100% comfortable with where my puppy was. Patty communicated with me daily and sent pictures I could tell my dog was very happy He even got a couple baths. We will definitely be using her again.
This was our second time leaving Chomp with Annie & as soon as we drove into her neighborhood & he realized where he was going, he got so excited & was so happy to see her. Annie always sends us the cutest updates and Chomp has the best time with her. We always feel super comfortable leaving him in her care because we know she really prioritizes the safety and happiness of the pups she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
We used Jordana for the first time for our two labs (ages 12 and 6), to board for 9 nights. She was great and communicated with us almost daily providing updates and photos. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation and have the peace of mind our pups were in good hands. She was super flexible with drop off and pick up times being that weren’t the most convenient or business hour friendly which was so appreciative and allowed us flexibility with our travels.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Mission Viejo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mission Viejo. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
