“Emily was fantastic and did a great job handling all 3 of our animals! She was also great at sending us updates to let us know everything was going well. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Isabelle was amazing with our dogs! She was so helpful with our puppy that is still potty training and learning to sleep through the night. She was great with communication. Would highly recommend her!”
“Great experience with Laura as always. She was very patient with me booking last minute and also making a last-minute change on the final day. Two cats with complex feeding requirements and meds. Thank you, Laura!”
“Austin was wonderful and really gave us peace of mind with our pups! He was responsive and shared photos along the way, too! We will definitely be calling him again to watch our fur babies.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle. We don’t trust hardly anyone with our two big pups, and she made it so easy to get away on vacation for a few days. Michelle was attentive during the meet and greet and was just naturally great with the dogs right off the bat. She was communicative leading up to, during and even after trip. She sent pictures, videos, and updates the entire time. I will definitely be using Michelle again in the future!”
About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
About: I’ve always believed pets deserve the same love, attention, and care they receive from their own family. I’m a dependable, patient, and caring pet lover who enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, some playtime and cuddles, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide attentive, one-on-one care. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pets like my own, follow their routines and special instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can relax while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, secure, and loved! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and companionship they deserve. I love getting outside for walks throughout the day and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. Whether they need a morning walk, midday break, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m attentive to their needs and will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, welcoming environment where pets can feel at ease.

My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: My love for pets stemmed from a young age. I grew up owning many dogs and I now currently own a handsome cane corso who I rescued. I had been a Vet assistant for a little more than 3 years, working with all kinds of dogs and cats from various ages. I also have plenty of experience with pets who may need a special diet, medication, or routine ! Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my vet assistant job not too long ago due to me leaving for the military. I’m available whenever and anytime as I am always free now. Needed something more flexible for the time i’m still here ! I have pet sit for clients in their home before, many clients from my last hospital would need pet sitters and my team and I always would lend a hand. I have also cared for many friends and families pets as well while they are away. I always follow the needs of your home and pet !
“This is the second time I’ve booked Jimena. She gives daily pet updates and shows great amounts of affection and care for them. We have both a dog and cat and they clearly adore her. As a bonus she took great care of our home leaving it in great condition.”
“Karli was absolutely amazing with our little Bentley. She loved him like her own and made sure he was always having fun. She was great with updates while we were gone and left our home looking great! I know we’ll be going to her for future puppy sitting needs.”
“Angey took great care of our dogs. She sent many photos and videos f the dogs happy on their walks. She was a good communicator, stopped by to meet the dogs. And a self-starter, she figured out things at the house and with the dogs without a lot of questions.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah! She took care of our pups overnight and was absolutely terrific. She was responsible, caring, and kept us updated so we felt completely at ease. The dogs clearly loved her, and we came home to happy, relaxed pups and a house that was neat and tidy. definitely trust Hannah to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”
“John did an amazing job caring for our dogs. He has an amazing energy and our dogs loved him right away! We felt confident leaving them with John and hope to use him again as a sitter in the future.”
“Logan was a great dog sitter while we were away! Had piece of mind that our baby was taken care of. We have a big high energy pup and Logan made sure he was walked and checked in regularly :) would definitely use her again!”
“Juliana was able to handle my GSD with no reservations. I was happy knowing I was leaving him with someone that was caring. She also took a lot of pictures and let us know when she was taking him out for walks.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
I can't say enough about Abbie. She was so sweet and accommodating. She took care of Isabella so my daughter and husband could enjoy their wedding reception. Izzie was comfortable with Abbie from the beginning and they were able to chill together until mom and dad returned. The pictures she sent were adorable.
Haley is the best! Literally the best dog sitter we’ve had. Our two dogs have a bit of separation anxiety after a couple not-so-great experiences, but the pups warmed up to her right away. She sent pics/video and daily updates, which kept us at ease while away. The house was spotless when we got home - cleaner than we left it, for sure - which was above and beyond what we asked of her. They were happy to see us when we got home, but they were calm and relaxed, so we know they were well taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend! She will definitely be our go to for dog sitting from now on!
Ligia is incredible! She communicated throughout the sit, sending updates and photos. When we got home our pups were so happy and relaxed, they clearly had a great time :) we would recommend Ligia to anyone looking for an amazing sitter, and can’t wait to rebook with her!
Alexa was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job dog sitting my dog, Ava, from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM. She was reliable, sweet, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Ava in her care. She went above and beyond by taking Ava on several walks, keeping her happy and cared for, and sending me the cutest pictures and videos throughout the visit. I really appreciated the updates and could tell Ava was comfortable and having a great time with her. Alexa was kind, responsible, and clearly great with animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again.
Katie is fantastic! We were so nervous leaving our dog for the first time, but Katie put our mind completely at ease. She sent several daily photo updates, followed all of our detailed care instructions, and our dog absolutely loved her. We returned home to a happy and tired pup. We highly recommend Katie and will definitely be booking her again!
Angey was amazing! She was prompt, friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Aside from all that, she loved on our 2 dogs, and we could tell they loved her too. The house was kept immaculate, and we'll definitely work with her again in the future. Spectacular experience.
100/10. Christine was so lovely and communicative. This was our first time leaving our pup somewhere and I didn’t even think twice about it. Christine sent pics and updates throughout the weekend, including pics! She took our girl on a hike, went to the beach, got tons of snuggles and treats. And the BEST part is she has a sweet husky that our pup loved to play with. Cannot recommend enough.
Jamie did a phenomenal job housesitting with Sisi. The day we left, Sisi started having some tummy issues, but Jamie handled it with grace and administered some oral meds. She gave us lots of detailed updates and took great care of our house. I knew our baby and home was in great hands with Jamie and will absolutely book with her again.
This was our first time having Sasha sit for us. She is awesome and did an amazing job. Both of my senior aged pups loved her and felt at ease, which made me feel better about having to leave them. I highly recommend Sasha and I will be booking her again soon.
Selina is amazing! She took care of our two senior dogs with such love and gave us daily updates. I'd recommend her to anyone! She was very dedicated to making them comfortable. She made sure she knew everything about the pups, their medication, and our house before we left. It was wonderful to know they were in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Clemente
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Clemente on Rover is $80.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,288 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Clemente walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Clemente maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Clemente choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
