“Hannah was communicative with me while I was away and we would love to re book with her again in the future. My pups were happy upon my arrival and she was a lovely house guest. Thank you, Hannah! 🐾”
“I had a family emergency that required me to head back home to New York very suddenly. My usual caretaker was not available on such short notice so I gave Rover a try for the first time ever and got so lucky! Patrice was super quick to reply and such a pleasure to communicate with. She came by for a meet n' greet right away and was here to tend to my sweet old girl Penny that weekend. Lots of video's and pics were sent throughout her stay. Always reassuring! I came home to find my apartment just as I had left it. I highly recommend Patrice to anyone seeking amazing, attentive, thoughtful care for their pup. I will absolutely be booking Patrice again in the near future! :)”
“Janet was great! We had some delays on our arrival and she was very understanding. She sent us many photos and kept us informed throughout the entire stay. Chance had great time with her, he looked very calm and cozy! We look forward to working more with Janet! Thanks!!”
About: I grew up with dogs (2 poodles and a golden doodle!) and a cat (Siberian) and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years through friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I provide dependable, high-quality care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s long walks, structured routines, or extra attention for anxious or senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I am available for walks and care whenever needed. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely, while keeping your home clean, secure, and respected. I’m very communicative and provide updates as frequently as you would like.
About: Hi my name is Alyse and my love for animals started when I was a young girl--proof in the last photo! Since as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to furry creatures. I have cared for my own pets (dogs and cats) for many, many years--cumulatively over 25 years. I am fortunate to find myself working in a full time remote speech and language pathologist position this year. So, with this newfound flexibility and existing love for animals, I desire to care for others' pets. My nature is to be responsible, responsive, and reliable. People generally pick up on these traits of mine when they meet me, which fortunately has allowed me the opportunities to house sit and pet sit for families, friends, and friends of families. Besides caring for other people's pets, I have also been privileged to care for my own dogs from their puppy through elderly stages. It really has been a deeply loving experience for me and I hope to continue to impart that kind of care and love unto others. I am a full-time speech and language pathologist with a very fortunate position to be working remotely. My schedule is flexible enough and because of this, I am able to tend to the needs of your pet and make sure they receive the love and care they deserve. When caring for your pets, my top priority is keeping them calm, secure, and on their schedule. I will maintain their normal feeding and walk times, as well as their bedtime habits to optimize a smooth transition. I can also help with light home care if needed (e.g., bringing in mail, packages, watering plants, and managing trash).
“Alexis was amazing with our 5 month old puppy who is going through a tough stage! She went above and beyond to care for him well and was very communicative with us throughout her stay. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals feels natural to me. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. I also bring some extra skills: clicker training, dog agility, and relaxing dog massage. Whether your pet needs structure, exercise, or a calm, cozy companion, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happy and comfortable, and I’ll keep you updated with photos along the way. When I am sitting for your cats I follow their normal schedule, sthat way they feel relaxed and happy as if you were still their! Safety comes first. I follow each pet’s routine and any medication or feeding instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise all walks and playtime, and stay in close contact with owners with regular updates and photos.” I treat every pet like my own. I stay in your home so your pets keep their routine and feel secure, and I go with whatever each pet is used to.Some like to snuggle in bed with me and others may prefer a crate.
“Lisa was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and our house. She sent us pictures and videos and updates throughout. Very happy with the whole experience would definitely use her again. Thank you, Lisa!”
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca and I'm an American/Canadian living in San Clemente, CA. I am a remote grad student and am always looking for new furry friends to hang out with. In my spare time, I love trying new things, hiking, and making friends with strangers. I've been a go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors for years. My specialty is with active dogs, but I've cared for all types of pets. Fun Facts: - I once lived in the Yukon for a month chasing the northern lights and running from grizzly bears - I once took in a stray cat at my university and kept him in my dorm apartment until we could rehome him. We named him Julius (he had an orange coat). - My longest travel time to a destination was 36 hours - I ran my first half marathon this year I work remotely, so I can work with your pet's schedule and give them the one-on-one attention they need while you're away. Whether it's a hike, a long walk, or a stop at the dog park, my flexible schedule gives me the ability to guarantee a happy pup! I take great pride in being trustworthy in the way I care for both your pets and your home. I care for your home as if it were my own and often leave it cleaner than I found it.
“If we could give a 6 star review we would! She is awesome. And Max is in love with his new Aunty. Sheryl communicates multiple time daily with photos and updates. When we returned Max was calm and looked well taken care of. Thanks Cheryl for looking after him!”
About: I'm a dog mom myself — a 2.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old pittie — and I grew up with dachshunds, so I get everything from zoomie puppy energy to slow senior strolls. I'm a fitness instructor, so I'm active and outdoors all day anyway, and pet care fits right into my routine. I build walks around my teaching schedule, with plenty of time for morning, midday, and evening walks, plus weekends. Your dog gets a real outing, not a rushed loop, and I'll always send photo updates so you know how they're doing. In your home, I follow your routine exactly — feeding, meds, walks, and all your house rules — and I leave everything as I found it. I'm a dog mom myself, to a young dachshund and a 13-year-old pittie, so I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I always keep leashes on outdoors, check gates, and send updates every visit so you have total peace of mind.
About: Life long dog lover. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have a relaxed, loving and safe home for belly rubs. Seniors and Small friendly breeds welcomed.

“Brenda was amazing with my older small diabetic dog and young cat! She took such good care of them and followed our over night instructions perfectly. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Rachel is such a lovely person and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She was very communicative and left the sweetest letter to my pets after her stay. I can tell she really connected with them and that makes me so happy. She stepped in at the last minute, and took care of everything over the thanksgiving holiday. Did great with our both our cats and our Corgi. A true gem! We will definitely book her again.”

Responsible and open to any situation. Feel free to contact me.anytime. I can do holidays as well Iam located on sea terrace park and salt creek area. All kinds of dog parks and grass, sand.

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care. I am currently working part-time 25hrs per week 5-hour shifts and am typically off at around 10pm. Therefore, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends before and after when I do work. More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)
“Logan was a great dog sitter while we were away! Had piece of mind that our baby was taken care of. We have a big high energy pup and Logan made sure he was walked and checked in regularly :) would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, cats, horses, and goats. My first job was at a pet shelter and later on as a veterinary assistant technician. I love taking dogs on long walks and runs. I’m experienced at handling dogs of all sizes and great at reading animal behavior. I have two senior dogs. I work full time but have time during the evenings and weekend to take care of your pet. I have time for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and two small old senior dogs who are dog friendly. Even though I have a fenced yard, I think it’s important to walk dogs several times a day to stimulate them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Capistrano Beach
This was such a fantastic experience! Christine watched my fur babies for almost 2 weeks in our home. She did such a great job with our guys and was so respectful of the environment. We are Super excited to use her and her wonderful family again. We had an evacuation fire scare, and she did not hesitate to pack up the animals and all of their things that they need and take them back to her home! Adore them all Lisa & Jim
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Hannah took amazing care of our senior pup, kept us updated with great communication, and sent the sweetest pictures of them cuddling. Clearly, Boss was living his best life! 🐶❤️ When a wildfire broke out near our home, Hannah went above and beyond by keeping us informed and thoughtfully asking what important items we’d want her to grab if an evacuation became necessary. Thankfully, it never came to that, but her care for both our dog and our home meant the world to us. Hannah a five-star sitter with a heart of gold (and apparently excellent emergency preparedness skills)! We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation! ⭐️
Bree was absolutely amazing with my girl Reina. Reina can be a little anxious in new situations, and Breeana handled that perfectly. She was patient, attentive, and really made sure Reina was comfortable and cared for while I was out of town for a few days. Bree was also extremely communicative the whole time, sending updates and checking in, which gave me a ton of peace of mind while I was away. Reina seemed happy and relaxed when I got back, and Breeana even left my place clean and taken care of. I’m really grateful I found Bree and will 100% be booking with her again.
Debi was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely professional, trustworthy, and went above and beyond. Chloe absolutely adored her, and even our neighbors had nothing but wonderful things to say about her! We felt completely comfortable knowing Chloe and our home were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Debi and would love to have her sit for us again!
Juliette was absolutely amazing! She's so kind and considerate of my animals! My dog has really bad separation anxiety and she really helped him through me leaving for the work day! She loved on my cats as well and treated them as her own! She was so good about potty breaks, feeding time, taking pictures, keeping me updated and just overall very responsive and just so kind! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their fur babies watched or checked in on! Absolutely loved having her stay with my babies and plan to utilize her services in the future!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Isabelle! She stayed overnight in our home and cared for our three dogs for nearly two weeks, and from the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Isabelle was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip, regularly sending photos and letting us know how the dogs were doing. Our dogs also require medications, and she had absolutely no problem administering everything as needed. At one point, one of our dogs had an unexpected emergency, and Isabelle handled the situation like a total professional. She was responsible, caring, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with our dogs. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We are so thankful to Isabelle for taking such great care of our dogs. Highly recommend her!
We are so grateful to have found Cheryl. She took wonderful care of our pet family, and was communicative and attentive while we were away. She took the time to understand the “ecosystem” of our home, and each animal within it. We look forward to working with Cheryl again soon!
Summer was absolutely fantastic! I was apprehensive about finding a new dog sitter, but she made those concerns melt away almost immediately. She was warm, attentive, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure my dogs felt comfortable and well taken care of. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she provided updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Lillian was an excellent sitter for our dog, and an excellent guest in our house while we were gone. Our pup was obviously very comfortable with her, as shown by the photos she sent while we were away and by how he continued to show her attention even when we arrived after being gone for over a week. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to our friends (although we realize that means she may not be available the next time we need her to dogsit for us!) 100% happy with her stay in our home with our dog!

FAQs for House Sitting - Capistrano Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Capistrano Beach is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $104 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 November 2026, there are 4,395 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Capistrano Beach. 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 Capistrano Beach 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 Capistrano Beach 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 Capistrano Beach 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Capistrano Beach. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
