“Alison was great. We will definitely have her stay with the dogs again. She sent daily updates and has great communication. She understands that some dogs need a little extra love and care. Our dogs were happy when we got home and I know they got extra care.”

“David was truly awesome. I think our pets wish he was still there and we didn’t come back! He was very attentive and took such great care of them. He was also super communicative and sent pictures and an update every day. He was even flexible when our travel got messed up. I highly recommend him. He kept our pets and our house cared for and attended to. He is very thoughtful as well. Couldn’t ask for more.”

“Viktoriia is so lovely and took wonderful care of my very energetic husky girl. I came home to a happy pup, and she didn't want Viktoriia to leave! Highly recommend her, she will make sure your baby has everything they need and is well fulfilled with exercise & love. We look forward to having her back soon!”


“Seph is exceptional! He took such great care of our pups and home. He was super communicative the entire time we were away, sending lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend Seph and will for sure reach out to him for any futures trips!”

“Yarira was so fantastic with our pup. She sent so many pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was a happy boy. We’ll definitely be asking her to come pet sit again!”

“Alexis was so good with Rico. He’s a German shepherd mix that we adopted and he’s afraid of his own shadow. She was patient with him and he warmed up to her throughout their stay together. She also sent lots of updates with photos and videos. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, including two dogs, a cat, a rabbit, and two birds, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. From a young age, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and taking my dogs out for bathroom breaks, as well as cleaning and maintaining the living spaces of our cat, rabbit, and birds. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when caring for animals. Beyond caring for my own pets, I gained additional experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for friends and family friends throughout college. My flexible academic schedule allowed me to take on overnight and multi-day stays, where I was trusted to care for both pets and their homes while their owners were away. Through these opportunities, I became familiar with maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules, daily exercise and playtime, administering medications according to owner instructions, and following nighttime household security procedures. I also helped with additional household responsibilities, such as watering plants and keeping the home clean and organized. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, experience caring for a variety of pets, and commitment to being a responsible and dependable sitter. I understand that every pet has its own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to adapt my approach accordingly. Whether your pet is energetic and loves outdoor adventures or prefers a quieter day filled with companionship and affection, I'm happy to provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve! I work six-hour shifts, three to four days a week, leaving my mornings and evenings completely open. As someone who enjoys staying active, I make it a priority to go on walks twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would love to have your pets join me and am more than happy to accommodate multiple walks throughout the day based on their needs and energy levels! I'm also a very affectionate person who loves spending quality time with animals. Whether it's playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! Growing up with pets, I understand how much love, companionship, and joy they bring into a home. Since losing my childhood pets while I was away at college, I've missed the energy, affection, and special bond that comes with caring for animals. I would love the opportunity to bring that same love and dedication into caring for your pets! When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining the routines they are familiar with. I firmly believe in respecting each pet owner's rules, preferences, and instructions, whether that involves feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medication, or specific household guidelines. I understand that consistency is important to a pet's well-being, especially when their owner is away. Above all, I want to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pets so that everyone feels comfortable and secure throughout the experience. I am committed to treating your home with respect and your pets with the same patience, affection, and attentiveness I would give my own. My goal is for you to return home to happy, well cared for pets and feel confident knowing they were in loving hands!
“We are always anxious about leaving our spoiled kitties and have often passed up travel opportunities But now we have met Erika!! She did an excellent job housesitting and providing safe companionship for our fluffy babies. They both took to her immediately (this is not usually the case!). Thanks to Erika for a great weekend!!”
“Stella did a great job. Harley was walked 2-3 x a day. He really was Happy to see her when the key was dropped off. The house was left spotless. We would definitely use Stella again to watch Harley and our house.”

About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I’m available for care 7 day a week including holidays. Your animals will be taken on walks and tons of sniffy moments. Your animals will be receiving a lot of love and attention throughout the day with videos, gps trackers and pics to show for it. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.
“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”


About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, and I also regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a calm, welcoming home with a yard and plenty of space for dogs to relax and feel at home. I also have a great nearby park where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and care schedule as closely as possible. For added convenience, pickup may also be available with advance notice, depending on location and scheduling. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am the sole caregiver for pets booked through my Rover account. No one else assists with pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s needs and usual schedule, so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a calm, comfortable home with a yard and a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I supervise pets closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. There’s also a great park nearby for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.
About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.
“Katie did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of our dog, Hoppy, who had medication and extra care needs while recovering from surgery! We were very impressed by Katie’s attention to detail and would not hesitate to recommend her!”

“Nancy was great, and just who Glory needed. I had to go out of town over the 4th of July weekend, and I hadn't used the app before (or left my dog with someone she didn't know); naturally I was a little anxious for both of them during fireworks, but Nancy sent a video of my dog SLEEPING through the noise. Glory usually paces all night during the 4th, so she had some calming magic that did wonders. I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries in the end. Nancy sent me several updates in my absence assuring me that Glory had been walked and fed, and was doing well. Communication on all things leading up to the booking, as well as through, couldn't have been easier or better. Nancy is also wonderful in the housesitting aspect as well, everything was as I left it (if not a little cleaner in some regards!). If you need someone who has a calming and patient presence for your pet, or you have any hesitance with someone in your home, I highly recommend Nancy.”

“Hi Robin watched our 12 week old puppy on Saturday June 7th she was very attentive to him as he is full of energy. She kept me in the loop the whole time I was gone she also took several photos and videos which I really appreciated and made me feel relaxed knowing our Brady wasn't good hands thank you Robin for all of your help we truly appreciate it. The Gubler family 🐾”


About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud Doberman mom, caring for dogs is something that is genuinely personal and meaningful to me. I have 6 years of experience dog walking and dog sitting, along with years of experience caring for dogs in my own family. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s small dogs, and now I have firsthand experience caring for my own large dog. Because of this, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, needs, and comfort level. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care because I experience that same feeling whenever I entrust someone with my own dog. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their dog is being treated with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to keep them comfortable while you’re away, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and love being able to make time for pets! My availability can change from week to week depending on my work schedule, but my weekdays are typically very open, especially during the daytime. Feel free to reach out! My typical availability: * Monday: Available after 11 AM * Tuesday–Friday: Typically very flexible, with the most availability during the daytime * Weekends: Usually available during the day; evening availability varies depending on my work schedule * Evenings: Often available during the week, with weekend evenings depending on work I’m currently in school for nursing, so I set aside time for studying, and I also work part-time at a brewery with a schedule that varies each week. Because of this, advance notice is always appreciated! It helps me plan around school and work and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows, so please feel free to reach out even if you need someone on shorter notice. I’m always happy to see if I can make it work! I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and daytime house sitting. I’m also willing to travel throughout Orange County to care for your pets. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care because I feel the same way with my own dog, Jade. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable knowing their baby is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. How my care for your pet is unique: * Getting to know them: I love learning about your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy. * Following their routine: I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, treats, playtime, and any special care they may need. * Respecting their personality: Every pet is different. Some are ready to be best friends right away, while others need a little time to warm up. I’m patient and let each pet get comfortable with me at their own pace. * Prioritizing safety: I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could potentially put your pet at risk. I never want to take unnecessary chances with their safety. * Respecting your home: When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their things organized, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. * Keeping you informed: Communication is really important to me. In my previous dog-walking and sitting experience, I’ve made a habit of leaving a printed visit summary after each visit. I fill out the appropriate details, including whether your pet ate, potty details, treats given, the duration of the walk, and an overall description of how the visit went. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can see your pet while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals—not simply someone stopping by to check a box. I know how reassuring it is to receive those little updates when you’re away from your pet, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety always come first.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Viejo
Alison is a gem! She’s so genuinely kind and caring, and is a dog lover and advocate. She stayed with my girl for 4 nights and followed all the instructions given, sent the cutest pics & updates, loved on her and even cleaned up and left my home immaculate. Our fur babies are our children and it’s so hard to find someone you trust. I trust Alison completely! Best sitter I’ve ever had and I look forward to her caring for my girl again. I know my pup will be so happy to see her new friend when she returns.

Laura was fantastic with our boys - very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, followed our instructions carefully, and had no issues with medications. She also kept our home tidy and brought in our mail and trash cans. We felt very comfortable knowing the dogs and house were in good hands and would definitely use her again.

Will is an outstanding house and pet sitter. He stayed two nights/three days. We received dozens of photos and several updates each day at least twice a day. My animals are not super socialized with men, so it took him a little bit of time for him to establish their comfort with him. By the end of Will’s stay some were following him wherever he went. Highly recommend!!

David was awesome taking care of Stormi! He kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. He was also super patient and understanding with some of the apartment instructions. It gave me peace of mind knowing Stormi was in good hands. I would definitely recommend David and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!

Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my two Goldendoodles. She was so sweet, attentive, and communicative throughout my entire trip, sending me tons of pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. She even happened to be watching the boys on their birthday and went out of her way to make it special by treating them to pup cups and sending me the sweetest video of her singing happy birthday to them! She was also incredibly accommodating and stayed late on the last night until I got home from my flight. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Kate was an outstanding Dog sitter. She followed all of the instructions carefully and gave me complete piece of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent, which kept me informed and reassured that my dogs were happy and well taken cared for. Kate was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

We were so fortunate to have Caroline housesitting for a week and caring for our puppy Hailey. We could tell right away that Caroline is very experienced caring for pets and that she has a great love of animals. Our puppy is a picky eater and Caroline took time to work with our puppy to get her eating while we were away which was a relief. Our home yard and most of all our puppy appeared well cared for upon our return. We hope to have Caroline help us out again in the near future and drop in visits . I’ll add that Caroline kept us up to date each day with photos and she’s great communicator'. Highly recommend Caroline!

Hailey was a fantastic fit for our babies! We booked a house sit for our wedding weekend, and it was such a relief knowing our pets and home were in good hands. Hailey was a great communicator and kept us updated with daily pictures and updates of our babies, which I really appreciated! Our dog was having some tummy/bathroom troubles while we were away, and Hailey took care of giving her the extra care and attention she needed to feel better. Thanks to Hailey’s excellent care, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying about our pets and would happily book again! Thank you Hailey!

Samantha always takes good care of Jax. He’s getting a little older now and sometimes has little accidents. She just takes care of it and doesn’t even let him get embarrassed lol he’s warming up to her with a little bit of head butts and he’s always eager for treats. Love all the updates per usual and thank you for loving on Jax while I’m gone.

Maureen stayed with our dogs in our home while we were out on vacation. She checked in with us every day and was so attentive to our girls! I just know they were so loved while we were gone!! 10/10 recommend Maureen, and will be booking with her again in the future if she’s available!

Saeedeh was amazing! We left our pup, Huxley with her, and he had such a great time. She provided many updates, pictures and videos which helped us feel at ease as he can be a sensitive guy. She even hand fed him when his nerves prevented him from eating the first day after we left. I can tell he got a ton of playtime and love in bc he's passed out and exhausted from his stay which is a great sign. Highly recommended!

Rex thoroughly enjoyed his time with Collin. When I got home, I saw Rex looking in the doorway of the room where Collin had stayed. Collin sent pictures and text updates of their activities. Collin was very responsible in taking care of my german shepherd. i was looking for someone who was comfortable with large dogs. However, Collin will be great for your pet of any size.

Presley was a fantastic dog sitter. She was highly communicative and managed our finnicky dog well. Our dog fell in love with her immediately and Presley gave her the companionship needed while we were all away. I would highly recommend Presley for house overnites.

Trinity came to our home to stay with our Luna girl while we were away for the holiday weekend. She was so compassionate and helpful when our dog became very frantic during several bouts of fireworks. During her stay, she was always very quick to respond to any texts, she kept our home super tidy, and she provided our dog with outstanding care. I would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mission Viejo is $74 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $107 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,569 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mission Viejo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mission Viejo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mission Viejo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mission Viejo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
