About: Animals and I have been drawn to each other since I was young. I started caring for them when I was 10, but I always had a love and pull toward them. I've been the go-to person for friends, family, neighbors, and all pet owners to care for all their pet's needs (& wants). I'm a full animal lover who feels in tune to adapt to each animal and understand its unique communication and cues. I've been the person again & again where pet parents say, "Oh, they really like you," "They rarely act this welcoming," or "Wow, they feel comfortable with you!" No one knows a pet like their parent -- so I feel honored each time I get one of these comments! My Pet Sitting Style: First is first, I would love to have a quick call to see if we are a pet-sitting match. And after, meet you and your pet in person before anything else. For coming into a pet's home without its owner, I want to ensure they will be comfortable with me while you are gone. I work remotely, so I can stay with your pet at your home as long as I have Wi-Fi access! I will nurture, feed, play, and care for all your pets needs. And above all, I promise to treat your pets with the same love I would give my own. My work time is split between being behind the computer and in-person meetings, interviews, etc. So while I work from the computer, I can keep your pet company, take breaks to give care and ensure their needs will be met with my priorities. But, I also might be taken for a few hours or more at a time but would be coming back home to your pet/s. When first getting to your home, I will enter just me (without any bags) to ensure your pet is comfortable and secure. I will adapt to the cues they give me, If they want to be left alone, played with, or cuddled! I will take in all care instructions you have given me and make sure your pet is as safe and looked after as possible.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, from tiny Yorkies to giant Great Danes! I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and keep you updated along the way.” Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I’m home most of the day, which means plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I love having animals around and enjoy making them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the routine while they’re with me. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home itself, making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar space while keeping owners updated with photos and messages along the way.
“Kyle went over and above caring for my very energetic Australian cattle dog. I was super nervous but Shadow instantly clicked with Kyle (which is very uncommon for her). Highly recommend having Kyle care for your pup!”

About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether your pup needs an energetic, fast-paced walk, a gentle stroll, or just some dedicated playtime and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m incredibly reliable, attentive to specific routines or safety instructions, and as a bonus, I love taking photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your dog is having while you're away! As an elementary school teacher, my summer months are completely open! I have a highly flexible and open schedule right now, which means I can dedicate plenty of quality, focused time to walking, playing with, and keeping your pets company whenever you need me throughout the day, weekdays and weekends alike. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the utmost respect and care. As an educator, I am naturally detail-oriented and organized; I strictly follow your established routines, feeding schedules, and specific house rules. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked during visits, keep your pup safe and leashed on walks, and love leaving your home exactly as I found it. You can expect consistent communication and fun photo updates after every visit!

Recently i had a baby named Max who just turned 9 months. Since i love the outdoors and spend a lot of time walking with Max, why not help out with walking doggies, right? Reach out if you have any questions and excited to meet more fluff friends in San Clemente :) I’m available for dog walks Monday through Friday in the Narragansett area, while studying for my Google online Certificate.

“Leah was wonderful with Winnie. She went above and beyond to care for Winnie and clean up any accidents that sometimes happens with older dogs. We will be sure to use her in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Bron. I have many years of hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds. As the owner of two pit bulls, I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, safety, and positive reinforcement. I am comfortable working with energetic dogs and can provide walks and drop-in visits. My background as a fitness professional and my certification through Animal Behavior College have given me a strong understanding of responsibility, consistency, and working confidently with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, extra exercise, or a patient and experienced handler, I will care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including weekends. I can accommodate regular weekly schedules as well as occasional bookings. I understand the importance of reliability and will always communicate clearly regarding availability and timing. Safety is my top priority. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and walking style before heading out. I am experienced handling dogs of all sizes, including large and powerful breeds, and always use safe leash-handling practices. I pay close attention to my surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and will treat both your dog and your home with care and respect.
“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!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats a majority of my life; including doggie day care, training, veterinary technician, and lead technician for the surgery department. I’ve now worked remote for three years and want to get back into working people’s pets again. I spend my time at home or on a trail somewhere near by. I’ve owned three dogs at once myself but currently down to two. We are looking to bring more life in our home and more company on walks. My animals are well socialized and want some animal friends to join us. I’m 36 years old and my husband works nights and I’m unemployed. I love taking care of people’s pets and want to get more involved with the community to help people out I personally have had bad experiences with my animals so I know how difficult it can be to leave our pets. I’m with my pups 24/7 and do very well with sending photos and keeping parents updated on well being to help put their mind at ease while enjoying their vacations or focusing on their work trip. My home is pet friendly. I’ve been surrounded by dogs for 15 years at least so very aware of behaviors and safety for pets. When watching someone’s pup you can be sure they are getting love, exercise, treats (if approved) and training ( if requested). Pets will be put on lease before any door is opened, we keep feedings separate as needed as well as keeping the owner updated with photos and any concerns.

About: Hi! I would say one of the things I love most in the world are dogs. I’ve grown up with them my whole life and have taken care of all my friends family. All the dogs i’m around i treat as my own, and i hope to do the same with your dogs!😊 I am currently in my third year at CU Boulder and would love to help out anyway I can while I’m home in Orange County for my break! I am with my dogs all the time at home and would love to spend some of my free time helping care for other pets.

Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.
“Highly recommend Bailey. She is a 5 out of 5 ! She is a great communicator. She followed our instructions and took pictures, which we really appreciated. From the start she was easy to work with, easy to talk to and 5 hours before her visit she messaged saying she was looking forward to her visit. This was our first Rover booking and Bailey’s actions confirmed she was a great choice. We will use her and Rover again.”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm in the country. I’ve been around a plethora of animals my whole life. Currently just have my sweet adopted dog Rosie who has been with me for over 10 years. I’ve been watching my friends dogs for years. I always seem to have another pup in the house I am watching. I decided to finally set up a rover profile:) My house is clean and organized. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I make sure to give lots of hugs and belly rubs! I work from home so I am around most of the time. I periodically have to leave home, but no longer than a few hours at a time. My husband is usually home too. We live in a large new apartment that has two balconies. We live right by a park and take our dog to the park throughout the day. I generally take a long walk in the afternoon with the pups. I do have a little fake grass patch on one of the balconies in case there is an emergency! I am willing to follow directions and apply any dietary needs to your pet. Our balconies are safe. We do have stairs, but if your dog is old, we are willing to pick them up to go up and down the stairs. We always keep the leash on when we walk and go to the park. We live by the beach, but have an AC unit if it gets hot or muggy.
About: I've been taking care of dogs (including my own) since I was 10 years old, and I love animals more than anything - I have always felt a strong conviction that animals are God's gift to us, and they need just as much love that they give to us. I am currently working remotely in the San Clemente area, so I am very flexible with house-sitting, dog-sitting, etc in the Southern Orange county area. I love to do everything pertaining to how the dog owner / house owner has a routine. If things like to be done a certain way by a dog owner / house owner, I am always happy to go along with their exact rules.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in San Clemente is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
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

Lauren was fantastic! 1st time using Rover, we left our Wolfgang with family and Lauren made the transition so smooth. Lauren was on time every day and Wolfgang absolutely took to Lauren as if he’d known her forever. He couldn’t wait to see her and go on his walks. Definitely would recommend her! Thanks again Lauren💛

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 June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 6,660 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
