“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! ⭐️”

About: I have taken care of dogs, horses, cows and I would go out with my greatgrand-grandmother on her bull farm with many of our dogs. It was an amazing experience and taught me how to train and work with dogs on the farm. I am currently working for myself and make my own schedule. I have many available times to work around your schedule. I feel the best way to represent clients is by working around their needs. I am comfortable in almost any situation. I am able to walk your pups at any time and able to play with them during their care. I am able to extend my hours to work with your schedule if your are running late, and occasionally spending the night if needed.
“We can’t wait to use Janet again in the future! She stayed with our puppy, Hobie, over the weekend while we were out of town. She was very prompt, friendly, and communicative! We feel so lucky to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her!”
About: With over 40 years of pet care experience, I’ve loved and cared for dogs, cats, and pets of all kinds, treating every animal like family. I work part-time from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability every day to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping their familiar routines while providing dependable, loving attention in a safe, trusted environment.
“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!”
“Angey was amazing! She was prompt, friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Aside from all that, she loved on our 2 dogs, and we could tell they loved her too. The house was kept immaculate, and we'll definitely work with her again in the future. Spectacular experience.”
“If you are on the fence about who to book to watch your pets, this is a sign to book Camille. We normally have friends or family watch our 2 dogs but the week of Christmas we were out of options and booked Camille. She treated our home and our pets as though they were her own. She did a meet and greet before we booked to ensure she was comfortable with the dogs and they knew her before she pet sat. While watching our place she sent us pictures to put us at ease, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our furbabies were being cared for. Communication is outstanding and our boys LOVED her. Extremely easy to work with and will book again in the future :)”
About: Hi my name is Kohana! I volunteed at an SPCA up until a few months ago, where I was trained to take dogs on walks, clean up dog & cat waste, and ensure their happiness. **distance is not an issue, I drive a prius** It is important to me to practice comfort for the animals through tasks such as : a constant clean & safe environment, adequate feeding, clean water, and playing. I would also love to brush your pet if you would like. I can handle large dogs and puppies (not bottle fed young). I take dogs out from the shelter where we get to go outside of the shelter together (ie beach, hikes, etc). When I take puppies out or energetic dogs I like to practice good behaviors and positive reinforcement. I know how to behave around animals where their comfort is my priority and our relationship is at their pace, I know some animals can be timid (especially cats). I am trained to take care of dogs, cats, and other animals as well. Please message me if you have any questions! I am available most days but Monday, Thursday, and Friday where I am working at Monarch Bay Pet Supply. I am free at all times. I am flexible and okay with short notices. I live with my mom and two cats, where I regularly clean the litter box, exchange water, wash bowls, and feed them. I grew up with the notion of "leave things better than you found it" and the importance of respect, especially in the space of someone else. I would love to provide comfort to you through the ensured safety of your animal and your home.
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always been comfortable caring for animals. I’m familiar with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’m dependable, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate house sitting, daytime visits, walks, and varying pet-care routines. On weekdays, I do school drop-off in the morning and school pickup between about 3:00 and 4:00 PM, so I may be briefly unavailable during those windows. Outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility for pet care, visits, walks, and overnight stays. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. I also respect each client’s home and privacy and will treat their space with care. I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
About: I have helped my mom care for animals my entire life. Throughout my teenage year I helped her care for 3 pit bulls and also helped at the shelter that she worked at walking the dogs and feeding the animals. As I grew older I had my own animals, such as a cat, lizard, multiple mice, and a dog I had trained from a puppy. I have recently moved and had to rehome my dog and would now like to use my experiences and love for animals to help other people. Hello! I’m Ryelee, I am currently working as a caretaker 5 days a week, but absolutely love animals and would love to spend time with your babies! I am not currently in the position to have my own animals but as a person who grew up around them, I miss them very very much. In my free time you can find me roller blading, crocheting, or at the beach! When I care for other people animals I start with going over the instructions of care the owners has provided with them while asking questions that will benefit me and the animals later. I then follow the feeding, exercising, and cleaning practices the owner has asked me to follow. While doing this I also watch how the animal is reacting to me and how much affection the animal itself needs from me, so I’m not overwhelming them.
“Austin was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind with our pups! He was responsive and shared photos along the way, too! We will definitely be calling him again to watch our fur babies.”
“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!”
“Alexa is a great communicator. She went above and beyond to take care of our fur child ? Even after a road closure forced her to drive around the island, she still made it a priority to come to our home. I’m happy knowing we left our dog in good hands.”
“Yarira is a wonderful pet sitter and a good human (according to our pups and us)! She instantly bonded with our protective Australian shepherd and silly pug, and their love for her was obvious based on the many smiling photos she sent of our Aussie, Lily, as well as the pictures of Eddie sleeping and resting comfortably on or next to her. She even took the dogs to the dog beach while we were away! (*with our permission, of course...) A short video of the two pups showed lily planting kisses on her face while she tried to pose them for the "Live" picture -- a sure sign that Lily was happy as could be. She also took good care of our home while we were away, and we always felt comfortable knowing she was there with our dogs. We would absolutely have Yarira back to care for our furry kids anytime.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Capistrano Beach is $61 per night as of October 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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
