“Hi! Our one year old puppy Simba sayed with Alyssa when we went surfing in the area. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time which was very helpful! Out dog came back home very happy and chill after a great day with Alyssa! Really recommend her if you are in the area!”
“Heather was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. Our dog was really happy staying with her and we receivedga a report card of the day and pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“Diana and Emily watched our dogs, Yoshi and Stitch, for an all-day doggy daycare while we went to the zoo. Diana and Emily were flexible, communicative, and our dogs had a great time. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Diana and Emily to anyone looking for sitters that will care for your dogs the way you do.”
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 along with my cleaning business. So I have availability throughout the entire week everyday and a lot of 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!
“Marissa and her husband and pup are wonderful. They kept great care of my girl. She obviously bonded with them and made sure she said good bye. They were flexible and helpful. I would highly recommend their care.”
“Anne is amazing!!! Her dogs and home are so welcoming our pup Sosa felt right at home as soon as we walked through the front door. She gave him treats and played ball with him and sent us adorable photos throughout the day. Thank you so much Anne!”
“Katherine was absolutely fantastic with Benny! She’s extremely knowledgable as it relates to dog training, and has two VERY well-trained dogs, who were perfect role models for Benny to learn from. We will absolutely use her again to watch our dog! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Meghan was so wonderful! I have a super shy/anxious pup and she was so gentle with her and knew exactly how to make Mazzi comfortable. She sent me really sweet updates with pictures and a video, and even though I wasn't sure Mazzi would go on a walk, she was able to make it happen! I will definitely be using Meghan in the future :)”
About: Hi, I’m Diana! My boys and I absolutely love dogs, and we truly treat every pup like part of our family. We used to have a dog of our own, and we really miss that joyful, loving energy in our home — so welcoming your pup into our lives feels natural for all of us. I work from home, which means your dog gets lots of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Most days they’re simply hanging out with us, following the family rhythm, getting cuddles, or coming along for walks. My boys are 9 and 12, and they’re wonderful with dogs — gentle, respectful, and old enough to understand boundaries. Many pet parents appreciate that we’re past the toddler stage and have a calm, dog-savvy household. We’re an active, playful San Clemente family with so much love and energy to share. We also have a sweet, 15-year-old cat who was raised with a dog and is very comfortable with respectful pups. Dogs tend to settle in quickly here because the environment is warm, calm, and full of affection — the kind of home where they naturally feel included and safe. ⸻ Why Pet Parents Love Us • Work-from-home = lots of companionship • Warm, family-centered environment • Gentle, respectful kids (ages 9 & 12) • Daily photo updates • Plenty of walks, play, and affection • A dog-friendly senior cat • Dogs truly feel like part of our family while they’re here ⸻ What Your Dog Can Expect Your pup will be included in our daily flow — walks, playtime, naps, family time, and lots of snuggles. They’ll enjoy a relaxed, loving home where they receive attention, structure, and comfort throughout their stay. ⸻ Services We Offer • Boarding • Daycare • Walks, feeding, structured play, and rest time • Oral meds, cleanup, and gentle care • Extra love included in every stay 💛 ⸻ Home Environment We live in a cozy, welcoming home in San Clemente with a relaxed, family vibe. There’s space for dogs to move around, nap in sunny spots, and feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and they’re naturally part of the daily household rhythm. ⸻ Schedule I work from home with a flexible daily routine, so dogs get plenty of company, engagement, and supervision throughout the day. Your pup will rarely be alone and will be included in family activities, walks, and downtime. ⸻ Pets in the Home We have one sweet, senior cat (15 years old) who was raised with a dog and does well with calm, respectful pups. She mostly keeps to herself and appreciates dogs who give her space. ⸻ Requirements (for everyone’s safety and comfort) To keep our home safe, healthy, and peaceful — especially with our senior cat — I kindly ask that all visiting dogs are: • Fully housebroken • Up to date on Rabies + Distemper/Parvo vaccines • On regular flea/tick prevention • Sleeping through the night (no overnight potty breaks) • Comfortable with cats and able to coexist respectfully These guidelines help ensure a calm, clean, and enjoyable environment for all pets in our home. * My rates are currently set to be welcoming for new clients while I establish my first few reviews, but still reflect the attentive, family-style, work-from-home care your dog will receive.

“We felt super comfortable leaving our dog with Jaycee. She was warm and friendly and took great care of him. It was so convenient to drop our dog with a responsible and helpful person. So thankful to her for the excellent service and flexibility!”
“Jessica is absolutely wonderful. She and Mitch had my pup over for a Meet and Greet to make sure it would be a good fit. Today was his first day, and Jessica updated me with photos as well as a playful video during the day. Peanut had a fabulous time and was very happy and also tired by the time I picked him up. We look forward to seeing Jessica, her family and her pups again soon!”
“Sabrina is sooo easy to work with. She took great care of Mila while we were out at Disney all day and Mila came home tired and very happy. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter and I know I myself will be coming back to her in the future!”
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.
“My pup is very shy around new people so I really appreciated that Dianne took the time to let him get to know her and feel comfortable in her home. He had a very good day today and I'm grateful Dianne was able to accept my last minute request for daycare!”
“Jacqueline took great care of our doodle! Our girl had friends to play with and time to relax too. Communication was great - we got pics and updates throughout the day. We don’t leave Donna with just anyone and would recommend Jacqueline anytime. We’ll be back!”
“I can't say enough about how much we appreciate Steph. She treats our dog, Mika, like a princess and she treats us like her most-valued clients. We got into a jam recently and had to extend Mika's stay on very short notice. Steph was very accommodating and understanding. She is a lifesaver and worthy of more than 5 stars. The best!!!”
About: My family loves having animals in our home, I have always owned a dog. My beloved childhood dog Teddy that lived to be 18 years old.. now I have a six year old seventy five pound sheepadoodle who is a big loving ball of fluff. We often watch family animals when they need help. I am also an avid walker and walk my dog 4 miles a day so your dog would definitely get adequate exercise. We have always been a dog loving family and love having them in our home. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home the majority of the day. Your pet will get all of the love and attention. I go for a four mile walk every morning with my dog and 1.5 year old, so I would take your dog too unless otherwise specified. I have full availability unless we are out of town. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I go for multiple walks a day and have no problem walking two dogs. If your dog needs a crate I can crate them as well as long as you bring their belongings. With that said your dog must be good with other dogs as well as small children, it is a non negotiable. I have 1.5 and 4 year old kids which means you must know for sure that your dog is comfortable around small children.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in San Clemente is $49
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Heather is my go-to sitter! Every time we turn onto her street, Odin gets so excited, which tells me he truly feels comfortable and at home with her. Her pup, Avi, is so friendly and playful, and having a buddy to play with always helps Odin settle right in. Heather is incredibly reliable, flexible, and caring. I always have peace of mind knowing Odin is in great hands, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Hi! Our one year old puppy Simba sayed with Alyssa when we went surfing in the area. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time which was very helpful! Out dog came back home very happy and chill after a great day with Alyssa! Really recommend her if you are in the area!
Our pup had the BEST time with Jessica and her wonderful family!! We could tell right away from our meet & greet that 'Cesca would be very well looked after :) I was extremely impressed by all of Jessica's q&a ahead of 'Cesca's stay and how she documented the specifics about our girl (far beyond that which is on Rover's pet profile page) to ensure she would be prepared for her needs, preferences and tendencies. She has the most responsible approach to caring for a visiting dog that I've ever come across. Jessica is super friendly and personable too, and her home is lovely! Her two labs were good company for our little one, as were Jessica's kids. The pictures sent during 'Cesca's stay made it clear she was having a great visit. Timely communication as well - always important! We definitely look forward to having our pup stay with Jessica again!
I definitely recommend Braden! He took really good care of my dog when I was visiting the area for a beach day. He was very friendly, quick with communications, thoughtful about planning out the day for my dog, and even gave me great tips on things I could visit in town. My dog had a blast with Braden and I would for sure book dog sitting with him again next time I’m in town. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️!
Benjamin spent the day with my dog and they had a blast together! A trip to the beach, the dog park, and plenty of treats. Benjamin provided excellent care and is knowledgeable in training and behavior. I would highly recommend his care and would happily take my dog back to be watched by Benjamin anytime.
Meghan was so wonderful! I have a super shy/anxious pup and she was so gentle with her and knew exactly how to make Mazzi comfortable. She sent me really sweet updates with pictures and a video, and even though I wasn't sure Mazzi would go on a walk, she was able to make it happen! I will definitely be using Meghan in the future :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - San Clemente
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Clemente on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 2,474 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your San Clemente commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,474 sitters in San Clemente, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
