“Jacqueline and her family were great hosts! We could tell our dog had a great time there and was very well taken care of. We appreciated getting lots of updates and pictures and Jacqueline helped make the whole process smooth and easy.”
“Eric and Allison took such good care of Beau! Their choc lab Moose was the perfect companion for a weekend stay. I know by the pictures sent that Beau got plenty of love from the kids and he even went in the car to pick them up from school! They treated Beau like family and that means a lot to us and our comfort for leaving him for a weekend.”
“We are so happy to have found Cienya! She has the perfect set up for my dog. A fenced yard and a work-from-home situation is perfect for my active dog. We felt completely confident that our pup was in good hands!”
“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!”
“Kelly and her Husband were very responsive and were great with Levi! They gave him some good exercise while we were gone and sent us photo updates. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Took incredible care of our elderly pooch. Provided updates with pictures. Went on adventures and loved it! Even provided extra care and comfort when our pup needed some extra help getting settled at night. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a family dog and have spent the past almost seven years raising my sweet dog, Ginny, since she was a puppy. Through caring for Ginny, I’ve experienced everything from the playful puppy stages to the routines and extra attention that come with having an adult dog. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m also a mom to a little boy who absolutely adores dogs! We are a dog-loving household where pups are treated like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a cozy place to relax, my goal is to make every dog feel right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I would love to provide the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own dog. I currently work from home full time! It is mainly Ginny and I at home during the day. We go out 2-3 times to walk outside to sniff and go potty. Ginny would love a companion to hang out with at home instead of wondering why I’m staring at a screen at my desk job! I have a completely fenced yard with chicken wire for your pup to play in with Ginny! If your pup is on any specific medication, I’m happy to help ensure they receive that at the appropriate time daily.
“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.”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“Cari and her family were amazing! We needed to schedule boarding over the holiday on very short notice, and Cari was so accommodating and easy to work with. Her and her family were so warm and welcoming to our dog, Goose, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in their care. Cari provided lots of updates with photos and videos which made us so happy while we were away. Goose got so much love and lots of walks with his new best friend. We absolutely recommend Cari!”
“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“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!”
“Caitlin and her family were incredible! They made my dog feel like a member of the family, and Caitlin was amazing at sending me pictures and staying in touch the whole time. I felt so grateful to have Avalanche looked after so well while I was gone, and I will absolutely be using them again for all of my future dog-sitting needs!”
About: Patience, compassion, and understanding each pet’s individual needs are my top priorities. I have two loveable doxies that love attention and other puppies. As a lifelong animal lover, I believe no job is too big or too small when it comes to making sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m both outdoorsy and like to be cozy, so whether your pet loves exploring outside, or simply enjoying the comforts of home, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always come first! 🐾 My dachshund Frankie has had previous back issues so I am comfortable and acknowledge pets that need special attention and care as needed, just let me know how I can help! I am going back to school for teaching, so I currently have the open availability and flexibility to care, walk and spend time with your pet throughout the week! I look forward to assisting on the weekends, so you can enjoy your plans, worry free and positive your pet is taken care of! 🫡 I have a 2 dachshunds that loves to befriend other doggos. Whether your pet needs a buddy or likes to ride solo, we can work it out so that your doggie is comfortable in a relaxed environment.
“Leslie was absolutely amazing. The sweetest person on earth, she was so patient and so willing to do everything for my dog. My dog was very anxious and was having a little bit of the bubble guts for this trip and she was so willing to take care of him even with the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”
“Karen was great! She took excellent care of my Goldendoodle over two days. She was very communicative and sent regular photos and updates throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Sandra was super nice and communicative through the whole stay about what they were up to and sending pictures. Our dog seemed to really enjoyed staying with their family and got along great with their dog Mocha. Will definitely reach out to Sandra the next time we need a sitter.”
“Jen is a 10/10 pet caregiver. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! She is attentive, caring and loves them like her own. My dog Bolt gets so excited when we pull up to her house. It’s so assuring to know Jen is caring for and loving my dog while I’m away. We will be using her for all our future dog sitting needs!”
“Jackie was fantastic all-around! She was super responsive to my emails and meet-and-greet request. Our two dogs were excited to see her at drop-off and they had a great time with her and the other dogs (I know because they slept the entire next day!). We'd definitely use Jackie again!”

Another stellar stay with Doreen! Ace absolutely adores her, and it's easy to see why. She genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he's in great hands. I feel so fortunate to have found her. If you're nervous about leaving your pup with a sitter, as I once was, I can confidently say Doreen is the one to trust! 🐾❤️
Lava had the best time at jaycees house while we were away. We loved getting daily updates, pics and videos of what Lava was up to and seeing how much time and care she poured into our pup. Come on come on I really appreciate how Jaycee makes every effort to keep to our pups routine. It made lava feel like she was right at home during her whole stay. Thank you, Jaycee, for taking such good care of lava!!
It was a pleasure to have my pup (Ruby) stay with Jacqueline and her family. I was some what nervous at first because Ruby has never been left with anyone in the past and this was a 5 night stay. Jacqueline eased my fears and sent me updates. I feel like I can actually plan a vacation or a getaway in the future without worrying!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Vlad & Dorothy! Dolly absolutely fell in love and got so attached, which says everything because I’m very particular about who I trust with her. They were incredibly kind, sweet, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was, made the whole experience so easy for me. I would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone truly caring and dependable!
Natalie is our go to sitter for our dog Lily! She’s always amazing! Lily scratched her eye a few days before our trip, so she was unexpectedly in a cone and needed eye drops every day. Natalie was such a rockstar and took the best care of her, even with the extra work required! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
Thank you Lindsay for taking such good care of Maya on her first staycation with you! Seeing all of the great pictures and videos of her playing and having a great time, I was not sure she would want to come home. It definitely put my mind at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. Highly recommend Lindsay!
Neil took great care of our dog, Ted while we were away. He was friendly, welcoming, and very communicative throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates and could tell Ted was well cared for and comfortable. We would happily book with Neil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
James did a great job with my dog Stella while I had family in town. Stella had so much fun with James and Brody that she was always excited to see them again. He was flexible with all the last minute plans and kept me up to date with the fun they were having through the day. I always returned home to a happy and tired puppy, which was awesome!
Super flexible and attentive… took Conan on several long walks with their dog Maverick, with whom Conan got along very well and had a weekend full of playing. Patient with Conan adapting to their environment and to their dog and very communicative… kept me posted about Conan and sent many photos. Thank you so much!
This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕

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 Capistrano Beach 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 Capistrano Beach 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 Capistrano Beach.
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 Capistrano Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Capistrano Beach 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.
