“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah! She took care of our pups overnight and was absolutely terrific. She was responsible, caring, and kept us updated so we felt completely at ease. The dogs clearly loved her, and we came home to happy, relaxed pups and a house that was neat and tidy. definitely trust Hannah to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

Our house was spotless when we got home, and our dogs seemed happy and relaxed. Lillian was conscientious and responded very quickly to my messages. I felt peace of mind with her caring for my dogs while I was away!”
“Janet was great with our pup! She is professional, communicative, and kind. We feel very comfortable leaving our pup and home under her care. We are looking forward to working with Janet again!”
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I work remotely and can stay in your home, providing calm, reliable care and keeping your dog comfortable in their own space. I work remotely, which allows me to be home all day and give pets plenty of attention. I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship while staying overnight in your home to keep routines consistent and stress-free. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their own home and following their normal routines. I respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and provide regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“We love Cheryl! She watched our furbaby for a week and sent pictures and updates everyday. We were worried about leaving him for so long this time, but he was totally fine and very well taken care of. So happy to have found a reliable sitter for our furbaby.”
About: I have been taking care of every kind of dog for about a year now! I would love to get to know every dogs quirks, habits and what makes them happy! I’m currently working a part time job as a teachers assistant for preschool! I get off work at 12:30PM start at 9:30 I do not have any dogs myself, but i do have a guinea pig named Clover. I have friends who have dogs and love them!
“Summer lived up to all of her raving reviews and star status. We’ve hired many dog sitters over the years and have struggled to find the one that meets our high standards. I think we finally found the one! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emma was amazing with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs instantly loved her, she was incredibly communicative and sent so many updates/photos/videos. We were able to truly relax knowing they were in good hands and will definitely use her again.”
About: Honestly? Dogs are just my people. I have a 3-year-old Golden named Ares, and I'm also hands-on with a family pack of five Goldens, so between the zoomies, the senior slow walks, and everything in between, I've pretty much seen it all. Big dogs, reactive dogs, medication schedules, strict feeding routines, none of that phases me. What I care most about is that you actually feel good leaving. Not just okay with it, genuinely at ease. So I follow your routine to the letter, send real photo updates (not just the posed ones), and I'm always on time. Always. We're lucky to be close to some great spots, the coastal trails in Newport, the paths near Crystal Cove, Heritage Dog Park, and I know how to navigate them safely. I keep a close eye on the environment, especially brush and ticks, because your dog doesn't know what they're getting into but I do. Whether your dog needs a long run or just a calm, quiet visit with someone who actually gets them, I've got it covered. Right now, my daily availability is incredibly flexible. I am currently taking some time between career moves, which means my week is wide open to prioritize your pet's needs. Whether you need a bright and early morning walk, mid-day drop-ins while you are at the office, or evening care, I can easily build my day around your dog's established routine. My own dog, Ares, has his set schedule, leaving the vast majority of my day completely open to step in exactly when you need me. When I am in your home for a drop-in or picking up your dog for a walk, safety and respect for your space are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home with the exact same care I treat my own, ensuring doors, gates, and locks are fully secured before and after every single visit. Out on the trails or sidewalks, I am hyper-vigilant about our surroundings, steering clear of hazardous brush, hot pavement, or unpredictable off-leash dogs. I stick strictly to your instructions and always leave things exactly as I found them.
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! 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.
“Jennie was amazing with our 3 dachshunds. She sent a ton of pictures and kept us updated on what they were doing. My Kali doesn’t take to strangers very well but took to Jennie immediately I will use her anytime I need a doggie sitter”
“We had a great experience with Megan! She communicated well, left the house in order, and most importantly, took amazing care of our pup. Highly recommend and will gladly have her house sit again. Thanks Megan!”
About: Most of my experience has been with rescue dogs who need time and patience to build trust. I specialize in creating a calm, secure environment where shy or anxious pets can feel safe and understood. I’ve also provided senior and special-needs care, including administering medications and supporting mobility challenges. I am a full time pet sitter! I currently have 3 families I sit for regularly but I always have notice in advance. I generally have wide open availibility! I customize my care to the needs of your pet and home . I always ask for detailed written instructions to make sure your fur babies are taken care of to the best of my ability.
“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.”
“Morgen did a great job taking care of our two dogs and home while we were away for a long weekend. One of our pups can be especially nervous around new people but Morgen was super patient with him. In no time, he opened up to her easily. Additionally, she was very communicative and send us photos and updates to give us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely have Morgen stay with our dogs again in the future!”

Hannah was great with both our dog and cat! They both got lots of love and attention. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care, and came home to our house looking exactly as we left it. We would definitely book her again for house and pet sitting.
Summer was wonderful with our puppy! This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter, and she immediately put us at ease. She was sweet, communicative, and kept us updated with photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands and will definitely be booking her again.
Gabriela has taken care of our dog, Blue, a few times now and stayed overnight with him at our house! We highly recommend Gabriela as she takes our dog for multiple walks a day, cares for him, and is very communicative with us during our time away. She sends us updates and photos of our dog while we are gone which is very appreciated.
Megan was absolutely wonderful was our precious pup! Felt like she truly cared for Kona and enjoyed her time with her. I trusted her completely with my home and she left it so clean and tidy. I absolutely give my highest recommendation for anyone who is looking for someone special to take care of their special furry one!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Capistrano Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Capistrano Beach on Rover is $60.83 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,625 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 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.
