I have classes a couple days a week but they are ending because of the holidays! I am pretty available and flexible with my schedule. I will always put their safety and comfort first.

“Juliette was phenomenal. She was super flexible when my schedule became unpredictable, while my wife was deployed, and sent photo updates of her activities with our pups. She was very communicative and always quick to respond. She took our pups to the park on a hike and we could tell that they had a great time. We would definitely recommend Juliette to others in need of a dog walker while they are away at work. She always went above and beyond what would be required for a "dog walk booking."”

About: I always grew up raising, walking dogs, and dog sitting! Looking forward to meeting and looking after your lil best friend! Thank you, Taylor Rose I work full-time from home, which means I’m home most of the day and can check in frequently / I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend walks. I typically have some slots open per day and can accommodate same-week bookings. Just let me know your schedule and I’ll do my best to work around it. In my home, dogs have a secure, fully fenced yard and plenty of indoor space to settle in. I keep a calm, clean environment and can crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine — just let me know. I dog-proof any area they’ll have access to and never leave a new dog unsupervised until I know how they behave. In your home, I follow your house rules exactly: same feeding schedule, same doors and gates, same walking route. I always double-check locks and leashes before and after every visit, and I send photo updates so you know everything’s going smoothly.
About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had at least two canine companions by my side—which is partially due to having a dog-loving mother who works in the pet grooming industry—so naturally, I have made friends with cats and dogs from all walks of life (and many other animals, too!). My fondness toward all living creatures, however, is something innate. I have plenty of experience in pet care, be it from caring for the pets of my own (including insects!), to working in animal shelters, and petsitting for friends, family, and professionally for clients. Whether it is time to eat, play, walk, bathe, or administer medication—I am here to assist with any tasks (including light housekeeping during house sitting) that can provide you with peace of mind while your pet & I are busy becoming new best friends 🐾🦴💗 My current schedule is pretty consistent, flexible & seldom changes, but if necessary I am always willing to do my best to accommodate your needs. When I come to your home, I believe it is important to prioritize the normal routine of your pet for their comfort & wellbeing, first and foremost. However, I love to incorporate morning/evening walks & extra play time if this works for your pet! I love to know all of the little details about your pet so I can become more of a friend to them rather than a stranger & the rules which allow me take care of them adequately. I am more than willing to keep in touch with you through messages & photos throughout the duration of my time caring for your fluffy babie(s).
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca and I'm an American/Canadian living in San Clemente, CA. I am a remote grad student and am always looking for new furry friends to hang out with. In my spare time, I love trying new things, hiking, and making friends with strangers. I've been a go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors for years.

We named him Julius (he had an orange coat). - My longest travel time to a destination was 36 hours - I ran my first half marathon this year I work remotely, so I can work with your pet's schedule and give them the one-on-one attention they need while you're away.

Amazing!!! Total last minute emergency Needed someone to come take our 100 lb puppy out for a long walk. We were nervous due to our dogs size and youth. I loved seeing Ben’s training history with dogs- I definitely felt that Gus would be in qualified hands Ben responded immediately! He came to our house and was in time. We asked if he could take our pup for a jog and Ben delivered!!!!! I couldn’t be more grateful
We are so sad to be moving because we would have absolutely kept her as our dog walker. She was amazing with our dogs, who are big and can sometimes be a bit challenging on walks. She always handled them with so much care, and they always came home tired and happy. They were always so excited to see her, which says everything! She was also very flexible when we needed to adjust schedules, which made such a difference for us. We are truly going to miss her, and any dogs would be lucky to have her.
Carmel is a wonderful and responsible dog walker. She arrives on time and my dog is so happy to see her. She is able to manage my stubborn corgi and is patient when he wants to just stop and rest. She is a cheerful lady who is always positive and uplifting. I am so happy that I found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in San Clemente on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your San Clemente. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in San Clemente.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Clemente. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
