About: Patience, compassion, and understanding each pet’s individual needs are my top priorities. I have two loveable doxies that love attention and other puppies. As a lifelong animal lover, I believe no job is too big or too small when it comes to making sure your pet gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m both outdoorsy and like to be cozy, so whether your pet loves exploring outside, or simply enjoying the comforts of home, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always come first! 🐾 My dachshund Frankie has had previous back issues so I am comfortable and acknowledge pets that need special attention and care as needed, just let me know how I can help! I am going back to school for teaching, so I currently have the open availability and flexibility to care, walk and spend time with your pet throughout the week! I look forward to assisting on the weekends, so you can enjoy your plans, worry free and positive your pet is taken care of! 🫡 I have a 2 dachshunds that loves to befriend other doggos. Whether your pet needs a buddy or likes to ride solo, we can work it out so that your doggie is comfortable in a relaxed environment.

“Our pup had such a great time with Marissa and her husband. They sent regular updates and brought him on many fun and adventurous walks. They were very up for the challenge of a very energetic puppy and even gave him a chew toy to take home that he became attached to while staying with them. They were very easy to work with and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kelleen is wonderful! My Bebe had only stayed with family up to this point, and I needed to find someone fairly quickly. I researched a number of Rover’s pet sitters, and Kelleen matched my needs. I was so happy with the way Bebe was treated, I will definitely use Kelleen again. Pictures were taken and sent of different activities, including interacting with her family. Her home was a wonderful place for Bebe, and I never worried about her at all. I highly recommend Kelleen!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have always loved them. I’ve volunteered in a vet, take care of my friends and family’s dogs and just love pets. With my job I travel too much to have a pet of my own YET so this is my favorite way to get to spend extra time with pets. My job is a work from home job with a lot of flexibility. I go into running stores around OC occasionally but make my own schedule. I don’t have a yard but I have a great park nearby and love going on walks. My mom gives her dogs 6-8 walks a day so I grew up believing our pets are family members and treat them incredibly well.

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! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) 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.

About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and they are basically the center of my universe. My hobbies include walking my dogs, training my dogs, and taking them on adventures such as the dog park, dog beach, and for hikes in nature. I have fostered, owned, and cared for dozens of dogs and cats, from kittens and puppies, to senior citizens, and everything in between. I am experienced with high energy dogs, and commit to fulfilling the dogs needs that are in my care. I am currently training to become a dog trainer with Method K9, and am knowledgeable about dog psychology, body language and social cues. When your pup is in my care, I work hard to make sure that everyone is getting along with each other and never leave the dogs together alone without supervision. I work to ease any anxiety the pup may be feeling, as new environments can be scary, by properly exercising them and getting them into our household routine. My three dogs are very well trained and behaved, and often times, being in a "pack" with my balanced dogs can be very therapeutic for the incoming dog. What you can expect: a safe, structured home that you pup can settle into and relax during their stay. An environment where they can socialize with balanced dogs, improving their social skills and reducing their anxiety. Structured (walks) and unstructured (play) daily exercise based on the needs of your pup. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me! I work part time as a yoga/meditation teacher and drug and alcohol case manager. I am in and out of the house throughout the work week, and 5 hours is the maximum amount of time that I am gone at once (this is on Mondays and Wednesdays). T/Th/F the dogs get a car ride to drop my daughter off at high school, we stop at the dog park or go for a walk, then I am gone for a few hours midday. I work a minimum of 2-3 hours of exercise and fulfillment into the daily routine to keep everyone healthy and happy. I have a decent sized fully fenced back yard with a 6 foot high wall and a locked gate. The dogs stay inside while I am away, and have access to the backyard when I am home. When I am away, the dogs stay separated to ensure everyone's safety. If your dog is crate trained, I find this is the best place for him/her to go when no one is home. Dogs tend to feel less anxious in their crate. I will send updates throughout your pup's stay so you can see what they are up to. They may even be having more fun than you!

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - San Clemente

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in San Clemente is $62 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $93 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,822 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Clemente. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
