“Angey did a really good job of keeping me updated on my cats and was even able to capture some pictures of my reclusive girls which gave me comfort knowing they were OK. I felt confident knowing they were being checked on and given fresh food and water.”
About: Have had more than one dog my entire life; small cocker spaniel, large lab, and pit bull. I adore puppies, dogs, and seniors. Flexible during the morning and evenings for your animals needs! I take my dog to a local park every other day to get fresh air and exercises. Happy to feed your animal, share cuddles and give them plenty of play time. I work in hospitality so I work closely with people all day long and would love to hangout with animals in the evening. Reliable transportation in case of any veterinarian emergencies. I work in the city and live in the burbs conveniently for all locations. Happy to travel anywhere up to 30 minutes away for the right client and animal! :) I work from home therefore I create my own schedule based on your animals needs :) I have my own dog therefore I’m used to waking up early and staying up late to walk him and get his energy out. I will accommodate to your dogs preferences and needs based on their crate training, yard, or daily walks. Since I work from home I can stay with them for some time for those that have separation anxiety.
About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether your pup needs an energetic, fast-paced walk, a gentle stroll, or just some dedicated playtime and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m incredibly reliable, attentive to specific routines or safety instructions, and as a bonus, I love taking photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your dog is having while you're away! As an elementary school teacher, my summer months are completely open! I have a highly flexible and open schedule right now, which means I can dedicate plenty of quality, focused time to walking, playing with, and keeping your pets company whenever you need me throughout the day, weekdays and weekends alike. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the utmost respect and care. As an educator, I am naturally detail-oriented and organized; I strictly follow your established routines, feeding schedules, and specific house rules. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked during visits, keep your pup safe and leashed on walks, and love leaving your home exactly as I found it. You can expect consistent communication and fun photo updates after every visit!
“Leah took such good care of Petunia during my trip abroad. I felt I did not need to worry at all, especially since Leah gave appropriately detailed summaries of her check ins. She didn't miss anything, and has gone above and beyond with every visit. I can tell she truly cares about Petunia's well being, and that gives me great comfort as well. Thank you so much, Leah!”
“Kyle was absolutely outstanding… on time, caring, patient with our little girl… Absolutely love the pictures I got, and saw how happy she was! Recommend him highly ? Five stars.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren was awesome. Extremely responsive and has a very relaxed vibe to her which is great for newly rescued dog. Thanks again! Will be contacting her again in the future!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life being raised around them to continuing to love and care for them in my later life and have devoted myself fully to each one of them! I am currently fully available and able to take take focused, detailed care of your pets morning, afternoon, as well as in the evening! Your pet will have my full attention! I have 2 dogs and a cat at home which are beyond well loved. They are two dachshunds and a ragdoll cat! I spend most of my free time with them and love taking them on adventures to the beach and out about!
“Steph did her usual great job taking care of our dog. Daily walks, medication, and food. He appears to be happier to see Stephanie than us when we return. Thanks again for taking care of our big boy!!”
“Michelle is the best cat sitter we’ve had so far on Rover. She sent us little anecdotes every check in about what our two pesky cats were up to and didn’t hesitate to ask any questions that came up. It was such a pleasure interacting with her and put my fiancé and I at ease knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of. Thank you Michelle!”
“Absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough good things about Bailey, we are so happy we found such a kind, professional, and attentive person to look after our pets while we're away.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats a majority of my life; including doggie day care, training, veterinary technician, and lead technician for the surgery department. I’ve now worked remote for three years and want to get back into working people’s pets again. I spend my time at home or on a trail somewhere near by. I’ve owned three dogs at once myself but currently down to two. We are looking to bring more life in our home and more company on walks. My animals are well socialized and want some animal friends to join us. I’m 36 years old and my husband works nights and I’m unemployed. I love taking care of people’s pets and want to get more involved with the community to help people out I personally have had bad experiences with my animals so I know how difficult it can be to leave our pets. I’m with my pups 24/7 and do very well with sending photos and keeping parents updated on well being to help put their mind at ease while enjoying their vacations or focusing on their work trip. My home is pet friendly. I’ve been surrounded by dogs for 15 years at least so very aware of behaviors and safety for pets. When watching someone’s pup you can be sure they are getting love, exercise, treats (if approved) and training ( if requested). Pets will be put on lease before any door is opened, we keep feedings separate as needed as well as keeping the owner updated with photos and any concerns.
“Beth was great with our 6 month old kitten. I was nervous to leave her for the first time. But Beth kept us up to date with messages and photos. I’ll definitely use her again. She been a great dog sitter for us as well.”
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve grown up with them, cared for them, and honestly, I don’t feel quite myself without a tail-wagging buddy around! Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just cozy snuggles on the couch, I treat every pup or senior like they’re my own. When your dog is with me, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities—because every dog is different, and they all deserve personalized care and affection. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in loving, capable hands. I’ll keep you updated with pics, little stories, and of course, all the happy tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon! 🐶💛 I work from home, so your dog will always have company—whether it’s for walks, regular potty breaks, or playtime. Aside from a quick store run, a gym session, or the occasional dinner out, your pup will be right by my side. 🐾 I usually start my day at 6am with a beach walk & would love to bring your dog along, as long as they are up for a stroll. I have a fenced in, private courtyard & a very friendly female (spayed) cavalier king charles of my own. There are no children in the home.
About: I've always loved playing with dogs and taking care of them. I grew up raising dogs, and puppies since I was 8 years old. I have about 18 years of experience with caring for these beautiful animals and I can't have one while I'm at college so this is the closest I can come to having a dog of my own. I'm on summer vacation so I'm readily available. I have experience with rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, bottle feeding puppies and dogs of all sizes. I am currently going to school online at Humboldt State so my availability is very flexible. I am readily available for drop-ins, house-sitting and walks! I care for my clients pets just as if they were my own, ensuring all of their needs are met while also giving them some extra love and attention
About: A happy dog is a tired dog! I offer dog walks, drop-in visits and overnights at my home. My experience is both personal and professional: I recently lost my beloved 15-year old Labrador. Since I’ve been able to drive (25+ years ago), I’ve also professionally pet sat many fur babies within their homes for extended stays (references available, but Rover was not invented back then🤣). I love the companionship of animals, as well as offering pet owners the feeling of relief that comes with knowing their fur-family is well tended. Whether away on vacation, or you have a long work day, I’m well aware of how nerve-wracking and uncomfortable it is to leave your pet alone for too long. The need for a pet-sitter myself is initially what led me to Rover. At the moment, I mostly board dogs within my home, but am available for drop in visits/walks on occasion. While I don’t have a yard, I’m a stay at home mom who is home all day save for local errands and picking up/dropping off my kids to/from school and activities. I can provide a potty break or walk every 3-4 hours. My kids LOVE animals, so dogs must be used to kids, and enjoy affection. However, rest assured, I don’t let my kids climb on or otherwise irritate your pet. Please contact me to discuss your needs and feel relieved knowing your pup will get a good dose of affection, exercise and plenty of potty breaks while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom, and husband works out of the home. I have your pet stay with me, or I can visit your place mornings and late afternoons. I board up to two dogs at once. I keep dogs in a gated off area (or your pet crate) while I’m out, and dogs have the run of my place while we’re home. Your pet must be comfortable with kids. However I won’t let my kiddos tug, climb on or otherwise irritate your baby. Your dog must like lots of attention though. He/she will get lots of pets, and if ok with you, some gentle hugs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Lauren was fabulous! Very sweet and kind. She sent me daily pictures of my 2 cats, and cleaned up any hairballs! Added bonus there for sure. Was my first time going out of town and not having someone i know come over, but she really did great and took care of the cats well. Definitely rebooking next time in out of town!
Our cat Pawlina LOVES Cornelia!! She was a feral cat and is quite shy and fearful of most people, but she responded immediately to Cornelia, and even greets her when she comes over. We are very happy knowing that Pawlina is being so well cared for by Cornelia while we’re away!!
Erin was great. I was nervous to leave my cat for a week but Erin made me feel at ease with detailed updates and multiple pictures per visit. Erin has clear communication and she clearly cares about cats which I felt from the initial visit with her but was reassured of this with every visit she had with my cat and update to me directly following every visit. I will definitely be using Erin to watch my cat again in the future if she is available when I go out of town.
Owen has been the best cat-sitter for our 2 cats! Easy to communicate, always on time, understandable of our needs. We have a complicated automatic toilet, feeders, and water dispenser - Owen was able to operate all that stuff. He spent time fixing our automatic toilet when it got stuck. Bottom line, we are happy and will be looking for Owen's services next time if available.

As of July 2026, there are 2,801 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
