“Lori took fantastic care of my dog, Scottie! Lori and her family clearly gave Scottie a lot of attention and love, and he felt completely at home there. Lori is a great communicator, and sent pictures and updates every day. We’ve already booked Scottie’s next stay.”
“Karina was so helpful in taking our dogs with short notice. She gave a lot of updates and cared for my pups like they were her own. So grateful for her and her partners (and other doggies) care❤️”
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. Watching your pet is my only job. 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!

Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.

I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pets like my own, follow their routines and special instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can relax while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, secure, and loved! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and companionship they deserve.

About: Hi, I'm Angey. I've always had so much love for animals, they really do make the world a better place! I have a wide range of experience with mostly dogs & cats. All ranging from different breeds, ages, sizes and energy levels. I grew up with a neighbor who breeded great danes and started helping her from age 10-13. Watching puppies outgrow me got me very comfortable with large dogs early on and understand them better too. On the flip side, I have taken care of an 8lb senior malti poo from 15-18 that needed a lot of nurturing and special care. From cooking her fresh food, adding skin supplements to skin salve, she was a new pup with a better quality of life! So I enjoy being thorough and conscientious in my day to day life. You can always expect cute photos, videos and updates while in my care. --Looking forward to meeting your pet😊 I'm doing pet care full-time, I have weekly walks in San Clemente and have availability throughout the week. So my schedule has flexibility. House sitting is preferred so your pets can stay in the comfortability of their own home. I like keeping up with the routines they already have to make them feel at ease. I do Board small to medium size pups, I live close to the park and lots of places to potty. I will give them lots of love and play time!
“Liz was wonderful! Drop-off and pick-up were both a breeze. She took such good care of our 10 yr old lab, sending daily updates and photos on walks and relaxing. We couldn’t recommend Liz more highly! Thank you!”
“This was our best experience with a sitter at Rover! I can’t recommend Torrie enough! She provided constant updates with pictures and took great care of our Riley. We won’t hesitate to use her again.”
About: Dog walking was my first job when I was 12! Growing up my family rescued dogs and we had as many as 3 at a time. Since then, I’ve sat for every dog breed from german shepherds to jack russel terriers! Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me with their pets for over a decade, and I’d love to continue that trust with your pet! I’m a financial analyst and I work from my home. Exercise is important to me, so taking dogs on long walks and playing outside helps me just as much as it helps them! I am an early riser and I have a dedicated schedule for my weekdays that I am happy to fit your pets into. We have a 2 bedroom apartment in the downtown area of San Clemente. While there’s not a ton of room to run around inside, there are plenty of great paths for walking around where we live. If your pet prefers to stay at your home, I will go above and beyond to respect your space and keep you and your pet comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 and I’ve been kahu to two dogs in my adult life. I follow Cesar Milan’s calm-assertive pack mentality. Exercise, discipline, affection, in that order. I am an editor for a digital media company and I work from home. I normally take 60 to 120 minute walks with my own dog and would welcome any other dogs that need a good long walk around the hilly area of San Clemente. I have a very spacious and minimalist apartment that faces nature with no direct Neighbor. I live directly in front of my communities dog playground, so I’m able to take dogs on frequent ball breaks and potty breaks I have a very nice sturdy kennel that has wood accents and is very comforting to a crate train dog Short hair dogs are welcome on my furniture. It’s a very nature Forward apartment complex that is dog friendly and if your dog boards with me overnight, sleeping is quiet, smoke-free, and kid free.
“10/10 would recommend, Jessica and her family were such a great family to house our pup over the holidays. We haven’t left him for that long before but with the frequent pic updates of Howie looking so happy we felt great knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely book again on our next trip :)”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and truly love spending time with animals, whether we’re out for a walk or just hanging out at home. I enjoy having furry companions join me on my daily walks and am happy to adjust to your pet’s routine, preferred walk times, and any specific needs they have. I’m patient, attentive, and always respectful of each pet’s unique personality and boundaries🐾💛 I currently work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets early, throughout the day, or evening. Whatever your pup needs: walks, cuddles, or playtime, I’ve got you covered! :) I take dogs out for early morning, midday, and evening walks. On hot days, longer walks are scheduled for the cooler hours in the morning or evening. I love spending time with animals at the park, beach, or just relaxing in your yard, wherever they feel happiest and safest!
“Cienya hosted our 12 year old dog, Lucky, for 17 nights and it was a great experience. Cienya shared photos and videos during Lucky’s stay which made us feel connected to Lucky while on our trip. She was responsive if we had questions. Lucky was healthy when we picked him up which is important! We had issue in the past at other places where he picks up some infection when boarded. We are so glad we found Cienya. While there with Cienya, Lucky got to hang around Cienya’s dogs and he seemed to enjoy that.”
“Robert and Karolina are wonderful. Toby seemed to have such a great time with them. They were very communicative with us sending lots of pictures and updates. They’re clearly trustworthy lovely people well equipped to take care of dogs. Highly recommend them!”
“Max was treated like family and I’m sure he’ll miss everyone! Banashe n her family were very loving to Max and she sent photos and communicated with us while we were away. This was Max’s first time away from his home and he is very attached but due to the wonderful care he was given he did great. Thank you Banashe for caring for Max as if he was your own. We will see you again!!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Connor was very responsive, communicative, and professional from start to finish. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”
About: Not only have I had dogs my entire life but I have worked with a trainer in the past and I worked at Pets on Broadway for several years. This experience has given me vast knowledge about nutrition, pet products, and basic training. I recently moved back to the area and have yet to land another job, so I am back to Rover. My schedule is pretty flexible. I do have a partner with two kiddos so after school I will either go over there for a few hours or they will be around. Weekends they will definitely be around. The kiddos are 6 and 9 This will depend from client to client due to the fact it will not be in my space. I will follow guidelines and wishes expressed by each client.
“After picking up Tanuki, I could tell she had a wonderful time with Sandra and her family. Sandra did a great job making sure Tanuki was comfortable and well taken care of, and sent me updates with pictures daily. It also warms my heart that Mocha and Tanuki became fast friends! Thank you for Tanuki's fun-filled weekend!!”

If I could leave Steph a 10 star review I would! This was our first time leaving our dog with Steph. We were nervous because we don't use a lot of dog sitters and we weren't sure how our dog would do. Steph kept our dog busy and active with lots of Play Time out outside. We know this because she sent us numerous pictures of our dog interacting with other pups and truly enjoying herself. Some people really go above and beyond in service to others. Steph is definitely one of those people! Our dog really enjoyed her stay and that allowed us to really enjoy our time off. We will definitely book here again.
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Sequoia! She arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand, which we really appreciated, and kept us updated with the sweetest pictures and messages while we were away. It was so reassuring to know Sequoia was in such good hands. Emily took amazing care of Sequoia, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitter!
Cassondra was wonderful and picked my Chica up and delivered her home happy and tired. During my 5 night trip, I received daily updates with pics and videos. Her property looks very big and perfect for a dog needing some space to exercise. The indoor space looked nice and inviting too. I would recommend.
Lava had the best time at jaycees house while we were away. We loved getting daily updates, pics and videos of what Lava was up to and seeing how much time and care she poured into our pup. Come on come on I really appreciate how Jaycee makes every effort to keep to our pups routine. It made lava feel like she was right at home during her whole stay. Thank you, Jaycee, for taking such good care of lava!!
We had such a wonderful experience! Jessica took amazing care of Archie and treated him exactly the way I would. 🐾❤️ I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone else, but she made it so easy. Archie was happy, loved, and very well cared for. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her!
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!
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in San Clemente is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $92 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in San Clemente can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Clemente home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
