“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!!”
“I always worry about leaving my now 4-yr old shih tzu who is temperamental and has separation anxiety in another’s care. Saewon and her family accepted my Oslo with no hesitation. They sent me text updates, pix and videos that re-assured me my boy was in good hands. Gamsahamnida (thank you) Saewon and Ian for welcoming and taking good care of Oslo! ‘Til next time!”
“We contacted Gayl last minute as we needed someone to watch our pup for 3 nights. She saved us! Walter loved her house, playing with her dog, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. She is punctual and very communicative throughout the entire process. My dog even had a moment where he was being a bit of a bad boy and she handled the situation with grace and total professionalism. We will definitely be using Gayl again! Thank you so much for helping us out!”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“It has been a tough journey finding care for my senior dogs now that they are too old for most pet resorts. Saeedeh was so caring with my old boys. I have a very nervous labrador, and she was so patient and sweet with him. My super senior boy also enjoyed his time in her care. I will definitely feel comfortable with Saeedeh caring for my dogs again.”
“5 star ⭐️ experience. She is very caring and attentive with pets. Even with my dog who has alot of anxiety at first, she made him feel at home shortly after my dog arrived at her home. She will provide regular updates and ensure your loving pet is taken care of. Highly recommended”
“Coco ran up to Karen with a waggy tail and doggy kisses as soon as she saw her and remembered her from her last stay. I know Coco is loved and taken care of and also enjoys playing with Karen's fur babies while in her care.”
“Xiaochang took good care of my dog, Duoduo. Her house is clean and tidy. Her 2 dogs are very calm. She was very efficient to help us unpack and pack Duoduo’s belongings (disassemble the crate beforehand). I will definitely choose her again for Duoduo’s next stay.”
“Messaging Muskaan and family was the best decision I’ve ever made on Rover. My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter than would watch our two girls AND help take them to our wedding. Without hesitation, Muskaan and her family responded with excitement. They even offered to attend our wedding rehearsal. My two girls have terrible separation anxiety but I always felt that they were in the best hands. They were even treated to amazing homemade dogfood during their stay. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!”
“Temi was our first ever sitter for our dog Spock, and she is absolutely amazing. She gave us frequent updates and took him for lots of exercise and fun outings. We were gone for a two week long trip, but felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Spock loved her and will definitely see her again in the future!”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Another 5 star experience with Wen! She kindly accepted my booking on such short notice. She went above and beyond cleaning my dog’s wound that had occurred the night before and I had no time to visit the vet yet. She is our go to sitter. Amazing as always!”
“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!!!! 🩵🐾”
“Thank you Gina, Daniel and Daisy for watching our Penny again! You truly treat her as your own. Love the daily pictures and constant communication. Penny was left in awesome hands :)”
“This was our first time boarding our kitty with a sitter and we had the best experience with Xiaoying. From the beginning and until we picked up our kitty, communication with Xiaoying was fantastic. She was very prompt in answering all my questions and really put me at ease. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates and photos, which made us feel confident that our kitty was in great hands. Xiaoying also took time and care to introduce our kitty to her own beautiful cats. I want to point out that a definite plus for me was that Xiaoying’s home is immaculate and my kitty had her own room. It was obvious that Xiaoying genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make our kitty feel comfortable and at home. She was very attentive to our kitty’s needs including her water intake, bathroom habits and her diet. At one point, my kiddos were afraid our kitty wouldn’t want to come home, that she was too comfortable at Xiaoying’s. When we picked her up, our kitty was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Patricia took excellent care of our puppy while we were away the week of Thanksgiving. She sent several videos and pictures and treated her like she was her own dog. We have a nervous dog and Patricia was so caring and made her feel comfortable. I would definitely use Patricia’s care in the future.”
“Lee took excellent care of our girl! She is older and has some particular needs and Lee was highly communicative and helped make our gal’s stay a success. I was super grateful for her flexibility. This was the furthest we had been away from our dog and Lee made me feel at ease the entire time. Her home felt like a very safe space and I’m so grateful to Lee for working so hard to keep Pickle happy. Definitely book with Lee!”
“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!”
“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.”

Chris was amazing! He watched my two Golden Retrievers 3 & 4 yrs old for a week. After our meet and greet I knew Chris was a perfect fit. I was nervous my pups would be a little aggressive at first since they are extremely protective of me but Chris was great at disarming the dogs to make them feel immediately comfortable to let them know he wasn’t a threat. It was amazing to see how easily they took to him. Chris is very thorough making sure he has complete information and knowledge of your dogs before hand. He is very attentive to their needs and actions. Chris would give me recaps, pics, videos and feedback during their visit. I highly recommend Chris. I’m so happy I found such a trusted dogs sitter and care taker for the most important two loves of my life.
Wally had the best day with Saeedeh! From drop-off to pick-up, it was clear he was well cared for and in good hands. We received updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind, and he came home happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the care, attention, and kindness shown during his day stay!
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!
Ellie provided outstanding service. She handled my last-minute request with professionalism and dedication, and she maintained clear communication by sharing daily photos and videos. If you need someone to take care of your dog, you should reach out to Ellie. She’s the best!!
Banafshe was very responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made the entire experience effortless. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and I will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
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.
Jessica was amazing with my dog, Echo. This was my first time leaving my dog and I was worried about how he would adjust. She met me for a meet and greet, assured Echo would be the only dog she watched for 2 weeks, sent me updates with photos, was quick to respond, involved Echo in her family activities, and loved him as if he were her dog. I could not be more grateful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mission Viejo on Rover is $54 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,694 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.
