“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”
“Llama is SO good with my energetic puppy! He loves her! She is very loving and patient with Max. Exceptionally prompt, trustworthy, and a true animal lover. Thanks for taking such good care of Max!”
About: 🐾 About My Pet Care 🐾 I’ve been working with pets for over 20 years!🐶❤️ What started as dog walking for my neighbors has grown into a loving in-home daycare and pet-care service. 🐾 Puppies are my specialty! I have extensive experience caring for dogs under 2 years old, and for the past 2 years I’ve especially enjoyed working with puppies as young as 8–12 weeks old. I understand how important it is for young pups to have a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while they learn and grow. 🥰 🌿 Our guests love playing and getting their energy out in our spacious backyard with REAL grass! We also have a park right in front of our home, which makes it easy for the dogs to enjoy walks and outdoor time. 🐕🌳 🏠 I’m fully equipped with everything your pup may need, including crates and playpens in all sizes for younger dogs who need a little extra structure or a cozy place to relax. 🏃♀️ For those energetic pups who need to burn off some extra energy, I also offer running sessions!💨🐕 Your dog will come home happy, tired, and ready for a good nap. 😴❤️ 🚗 I’m also very accommodating and can **pick up or drop off your pet at your home** when needed. Your pets are treated like family here, with plenty of **love, attention, playtime, exercise, and care\.** 🐾💕 I’d love the opportunity to take care of your furry family member\! Im a stay at home mom so I spend my days in the house. I can accommodate my schedule to pets needs. I’m available every day of the week or weekend I have a big fenced yard with real grass. A spacious patio. A nice big park in front of our home. Also if your pet needs a crate no need to bring one we have different size crates to accommodate your pets needs.
“Gayl was very friendly, very easy to work with. She showed up on time and was very communicative in letting us know what had transpired after each walk or visit. I would recommend Gayl to take care of your furry family member.”
“Christiana is absolutely amazing and 100% professional! She took care of my 6 year old German Shepard and he misses her everyday…She is the BEST! Get her if you can!!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds and sizes for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets. I treat every animal like my own and ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I have full availability to care for your pets! I’m home all day and can provide constant attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and two loving sons (ages 7 and 14) who grew up with pets and adore animals. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and care in a clean, safe, and happy environment. I always follow your feeding, medication, and crate instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved.
“This was my dog Oivia's first roadside walk with anyone other than her family. My pup is 20 months old, big, and obsessed with trying to chase passing cars so I was hesitant to put her on the end of a leash for anyone else, but Kayla was calm and friendly to the point where we ALL felt comfortable, even the dog. Kayla is amazing. I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for them through dog sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting. I personally raised and trained one of my dogs from puppyhood—teaching crate training, potty training, and fun tricks—so I understand the patience and consistency pets need. I’m a reliable, respectful sitter who treats every home and pet as if they were my own, making sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m quite flexible with my schedule, and this role is currently my main work priority. Because of that, I’m able to plan my days around each pet’s needs and routine. My goal is always to provide consistent care, attention, and genuine love to every pet I care for. At my home, your pup will enjoy a safe, fenced yard and the company of my two friendly dogs for plenty of playtime and socialization. I can also care for pets in your home if that’s what makes them most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, boarding, overnight stays, or crate care, I’m happy to help with whatever your dog needs—no task is too small or too big. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home!
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs and cats for 5 years and also have my own cat! I’ve also grown up with them since I was 11 so feel very comfortable providing a safe fun environment for them. I’m currently working part time as a dance instructor so I have plenty of time to care for your pets day or night! I am available for house sits as well. I can work with your home set up. I won’t be able to host pets in my home due to living in a tight space.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.
About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
About: I have cared for many pets over the last 8+ years. I have been working at a local dog daycare for a year and a half. At the daycare, I work specifically with shy/senior dogs, and am passionate about making sure they get extra love. I love walking dogs, playing fetch with them, and especially cuddling with them. I am a grad student currently on summer break. I have an internship that I attend a couple of days a week, but am overall flexible schedule-wise. I have a fenced in yard with lots of grass/space for dogs to run around, play in the sprinklers (if they like water, of course), and lay in the sun. I love wrapping pups up in comfy blankets for bedtime.
About: I have helped care for pets for friends and families for several years, I enjoy doing it on my free time, I can come to play with them to get energy out, walk them outside for fresh air, or just relax with them in the house. Let me care for your fur baby while you are away! I have free time outside of work on Friday afternoons and weekends. I would like a few days notice but I am usually around on weekends to be available for pet care. No overnight stays. In my clients home I will work with whatever environment they prefer and follow the rules, let me know what makes your pet most comfortable and happy while I am there, happy to do it!
“Zoe is very punctual, communicates very well, flexible if I need to change the dates and/or times. Mostly, I love how she is with my dog! Obi loves Zoe! He is excited waiting by the door watching for her!”

I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!
Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Mission Viejo on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,787 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Mission Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Mission Viejo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Mission Viejo.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mission Viejo. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
