“Kelly and family were fantastic with my pup. She came home tired (in the best way-- I know she got a lot of play time and activity!) Kelly is very communicative and easy to coordinate with. We've already booked our next visit. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We're so grateful to have found Marissa! Our dog spent the weekend w/ her when we were out of town, and we couldn't be more pleased. She's kind, communicative, gentle and so easy work with. It is obvious that she has a very genuine love for dogs, and we couldn't have felt better about who we left our puppy with. We recommend her without reservation, and look forward to utilizing her again in the future.”
“Another great sleepover at Annie’s house. Panda was well taken care of and had a really good time. Came home tired. Loved all of the photos and videos that Annie shared with us. Great communication. Helped us out when we ran out of a meal for Panda. See you in again soon. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Steph took care of our precious Teddy on short notice & even agreed to a meet and greet before hand since it was his first time staying at her home. We are so appreciative of all the little things she did to make Teddy & us comfortable while he was in her care. Highly, highly recommend Steph!❤️”
“I had never used Rover for pet sitting and I was a little nervous about leaving our dog, but Liz did a wonderful job of sending updates and pictures everyday. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Jacqueline, Holt, and kids were wonderful with our dog Poogan. We were nervous about leaving him for the first time, but they sent pictures and he was happy and playing while we were gone. We are very grateful for their care and would stay with them again. ♥️”
About: 🏡 Dog Boarding on a 2-acre farm 🤎 Where tails wag & hearts stay happy 📍 OC (located on Ortega Hwy ⛰️) 🚕 Pick Up & Drop Off complimentary south OC! Please Note: I’m located off the San Juan Capistrano Ortega Hwy Mountain residing at a farm at the top. My second address is listed in San Clemente as most my life consists in so cal it makes it easier to cater to this area as most all my clients prefer a pick up/drop off method thru their home to save them from the long drive! I’m happy to meet you at the listed address, your home, base of mountain, as well as at my residence at the farm on the mountain :) Hi there!! I am excited to extend my services to Rover! I am new to this platform as I am expanding my clientele! I will be creating a cute boutique homey play yard. I work from home and enjoy the company of having to care for your animals alongside my farm animals :) Dogs have a fenced in yard separate from my farm but still can have fun site seeing farm animals! I have an Rv business alongside dog boarding and manage my time according to your animals needs! As I am home most days I have days where I do run out to deliver an Rv or watch my kids sports but am always around to treat your pets as if they are my own! I provide a safe space for all dogs! I have a fenced in farm! I do have a separate fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run and play that is for dogs only that does connect to the house so they have access to an inside area as they please. I have XXL boarding crate homes that I do have them sleep in at night with their own beds and blankeys as well as feed them in there so they have their own space to safely eat away from other dogs. I will treat them as my own and adjust per dog as needed for their comfort and happiness!
“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!”
“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.”
“Jessica and Mitchell were absolutely amazing with our dog, Ziggy! They took her in on super short notice and treated her like part of their family. They sent regular photo updates, took her on walks, and she had the best time playing with their pups. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for. We couldn’t recommend them more and will definitely be booking with them again!”
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! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animal’s 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.
“I chose Daniela as my sitter the fist time I used Rover and will always continue to choose her. She is the kindest, most compassionate lover of her animals and welcomed our pup with open arms. She sent pics and communicated throughout Reyas stay…she was not only a perfect fit for our puppy, but our family. Nothing but amazing things to say about her service and needless to say our puppy was extremely tired after all their playful adventures!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals starting in middle school. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, and watch over their animals when they weren’t available. I’m currently a college student home for the summer so I’ll have plenty of time and energy to spend with your dogs, cats, and anything in between. I have a fenced yard with a loving and playful Labrador of my own. I am also more than willing to crate your dog if need be.
“James was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my best friend with him! Not only did it seem like he truly enjoyed taking care of animals but was also knowledgeable and experienced. If I am ever near Dana Point again, I’d used James in a heart beat!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and have owned and been around dogs my whole life. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m not currently working any other jobs so I have pretty much full availability, I can host pets at my home with a fenced in yard and dog park in the neighborhood or have no problem coming to you! Fenced in yard, dog park in neighborhood, I have one small baby doodle in the home who is very friendly and loving to keep any pups company, can also keep dogs separate or crated depending on how you prefer your care.

Steph is absolutely amazing! She accommodated my last-minute booking without hesitation, which took so much stress off my shoulders. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew he was in the best hands. She truly treats him like he’s one of her own, and it shows in every little thing she does. She even threw him a birthday party, which meant so much to me and is just one example of how much love and care she puts into what she does. I never have to worry when he’s with her because I know he’s safe, happy, and genuinely loved. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust completely with my dog. I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly, and she’s always be my first choice!
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.
