“Kelly and her family were great. She sent us constant text and video updates that were very appreciated. She was very easy to communicate with and helped coordinate or semi-complicated drop off. Our dog got plenty of exercise and she was with Kelly. Thanks so much for taking such good care! 100% will always be a returning client.”
About: Hi my name is Jaycee I am a mom to 4 grown daughters and have had pets my whole life. I know it can be hard to find a trusted pet sitter but I am here to give you peace of mind. I am extremely reliable, responsible and easy to get along with. I am active and don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. Contact me if you have any questions. I am active and I don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. I am available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in my home, I love to have the pet feel like nothing has changed! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animals routine in place while the owners are away, I love to send photos and take cute pictures. Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.
“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.”
“Liz took great care of our dog while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! She took him on lots of walks and sent daily updates and photos. He was so happy there with her family, and it was such a relief knowing he was under great care!”
“Beth was amazing and such a blessing to find! Her and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie while I was gone for a month. They gave him so much love and I feel like he came back even more mellow and well adjusted than before I left him. They brought him in and included him in their family. She sent lots of cute pictures and I felt so much peace knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Heather was wonderful! She did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. It was my first time leaving her overnight, so it was important to me that I found a good home for her to stay at. Heather sent me photos and videos of Rory playing and gave me updates while I was away. She even included a cute report card, note, and photo of Rory to take home!”
“What a great family and home to leave your pet at! Bandit enjoyed his stay and we got plenty of pictures to prove it. I will definitely be reaching out if I need pet sitting service again.”
“Great experience. They took such nice care of our dog Hope and treated her as part of the family. My dog loved it, so we do as well. Diana was very flexible and communicated a lot with pics and messages. Her boys also took great care of Hope.”
“We can always trust Steph will take great care of our pup. She’s super responsive and is always on top of everything when it comes to caring for multiple dogs at once. Thanks for another great stay!”
“We have had our pup stay with Daniela and her family twice now and couldn’t be happier with the level of care and love she shows him! We love getting the daily updates and photos of the activities they do together and always feel so secure that he is in good hands. She really goes above and beyond and our pup is like our baby to us so it means a lot to know he is loved while we are away. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She's a great communicator, asked all the important questions about caring for our pet, was a great listener ... I could go on and on! We hired her last minute for a family holiday and she was exceptional. We felt confident in our pets' care, safety, and enjoyment! We will absolutely be reaching out to Elizabeth again. Lovely apartment, lovely person, clearly loves animals! She even got our normally-brushing-avoidant husky to snuggle up and enjoy some brushing - this was certainly a pleasant surprise!! 10/10!”
“Dianne took wonderful care of my dog Bentley, and she really enjoyed her time there. Communication was great, and the whole arrangement was smooth and easy. She even sent me a video of Bentley, which I really appreciated. Dianne handled drop-off and pick-up, making everything very convenient. Bentley was clearly well cared for, and I will definitely reach out to her again for future care.”
“Love love love Jessica and Mitchell - they took such great care of our Golden Retriever and sent us the cutest pictures! I was afraid she might not want to come home with me, because she had such a great time with them! I cannot recommend them enough!”
“I I had a last minute meeting that I had to go out of town for and Tara responded immediately. When I met her and her darling little Shih Tzu I felt immediately at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the day and communicated that Luna was doing great would absolutely recommend leaving your precious pup with Tara.”
“We are so happy that we found Megan. She was wonderful with our dog, Ghost. She made it easy to coordinate pickups and drop-offs, and kept in touch with us with pictures of Ghost throughout our trip. You could tell that Ghost had free rein and got lots of attention from Megan’s family. With Megan as a loving, worry-free sitter, we couldn’t have asked for more!”
About: We know how important it is to be able to leave your four-legged family member in a place you can trust when you travel. And sometimes board and care facilities are stressful on your pet. Our home might be the perfect fit. We are structured, animal centered- and a lot of safety, calm and fun. We used to have 3 big dogs (Malinois, Dutch Shepherd and Mcnab Lab) but my daughter moved with her dog and our other 2shepherds passed away of old age. So now we have Toby our little dog. :) To get our dog fix we dog sit usually Fri-Sundays. My husband and I work full-time M-F. That's why we prefer Fri-Sundays. If it fits for us and your dog we can keep your dog during the week. We are gone from the house- 8am to 4:30 pm. They get a good long walk at 6:00 AM. Your dog would join my husband and I on various morning walk locations each morning with our dog Toby and then we will walk them around 5 pm each evening after they eat-usually at a local park. We have a very structured routine :) The animals stay inside our home all day. I do not leave them outside alone. I can crate train if necessary. Your dog MUST be cat friendly. I have dog friendly cats-though they hide at first :) We are super structured with a very predictable routine. We are home on the weekends and take the animals on outings- Lowes, out to breakfast/dinner, different places. Your dog is safe with us !
“My Husband and I met Sandra through the rover website. We had met with a couple other sitters first but when we had our meet and greet it was obvious this was the place for our two dogs Abbey and Bailey. Sandra was so loving with both of them, even letting them sleep in her bed. I would highly reccomend her and will be using her again soon!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in San Clemente is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Diana was absolutely incredible! She watched our puppy, Sonny, for five days while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear how caring, thoughtful, and attentive she is. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially loved receiving daily photos and videos, and she stayed in constant communication with us throughout our trip. Seeing Sonny playing with Diana and her two sons made it obvious he was being treated like part of the family. One thing we didn't anticipate was that this was Sonny's first time being away from us overnight, and we quickly learned he's not the best sleeper when he's in a new environment. Diana handled it with so much patience, grace, and flexibility. She worked through it without ever making us feel like it was a burden and gave our needy puppy exactly the care and reassurance he needed. By the time we picked Sonny up, it was almost heartbreaking—he had become so attached to Diana and her sons that it genuinely felt like he wanted to stay! That's about the highest compliment we could give. Diana gave us complete peace of mind knowing Sonny was in loving, capable hands. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter on Rover. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!
Liz was awesome looking after our 2 dogs. They clearly were shown a lot of love and attention from her and her sweet kids. She sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch them again. Our oldest dog refused to get in to the car to leave when I picked him up 😂 thank you so much 💕
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.
Marissa was great! We were in a real jam and she saved the day! Not only did she allow to book, literally at the last minute, she and her husband were so gracious and kind. We felt our, Kiki, was in loving hands. If were ever in town again, we would not hesitate leave Kiki with them again!
Dianne took wonderful care of my dog Bentley, and she really enjoyed her time there. Communication was great, and the whole arrangement was smooth and easy. She even sent me a video of Bentley, which I really appreciated. Dianne handled drop-off and pick-up, making everything very convenient. Bentley was clearly well cared for, and I will definitely reach out to her again for future care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Clemente on Rover is $62.16 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,871 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of San Clemente sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which San Clemente landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Clemente 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 San Clemente.
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.
You and your San Clemente 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.
