About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life being raised around them to continuing to love and care for them in my later life and have devoted myself fully to each one of them! I am currently fully available and able to take take focused, detailed care of your pets morning, afternoon, as well as in the evening! Your pet will have my full attention! I have 2 dogs and a cat at home which are beyond well loved. They are two dachshunds and a ragdoll cat! I spend most of my free time with them and love taking them on adventures to the beach and out about!
About: I’ve had dogs around me for pretty much my whole life and honestly just love hanging out with them. I also lived on a farm for a bit, so I’m super comfortable handling all kinds of animals and can easily read their energy. Whether your pup needs to run out some crazy energy or just wants a relaxed walk with a buddy, I’m your girl. I’m reliable, active, and will take great care of them. Right now, my schedule is pretty open, so I have a lot of flexibility for daily walks. I keep my calendar updated regularly, so feel free to reach out and we can easily find a time that works perfectly for your dogs routine! When I’m walking your dog or stopping by, safety is my main priority. I always keep them securely on a leash, stay super alert to our surroundings, and strictly follow whatever specific instructions or house rules you have for your dog!
About: I grew up with dogs (2 poodles and a golden doodle!) and a cat (Siberian) and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years through friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I provide dependable, high-quality care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s long walks, structured routines, or extra attention for anxious or senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I am available for walks and care whenever needed. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely, while keeping your home clean, secure, and respected. I’m very communicative and provide updates as frequently as you would like.
“Alexis connected immediately with our dog! She took good care of our dog and followed our feeding and walking instructions, plus took her on a car ride - our dog's favorite activity! Her pictures showed a happy dog. Our house was left in a very clean condition. I highly recommend Alexis!”
“Emma was all we could’ve hoped for: an excellent dog sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos and updates about our girl Dolly while we were away. We were at ease knowing our pup was in excellent care and getting lots of love and attention. Thank you Emma!”
“Laura kept the Boyz happy and entertained…just what we wanted. We were only gone for one day and night and she sent pictures of the Boyz cuddling with her and the all important feeding time! Thanks for being a great temp Mom to my Boyz!”
“Jimena was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and our home. She always kept in touch, and sent lots of happy photos. It was such a relief to know our dogs were in great hands while we were away. We will be booking her again for sure!!”
“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.”
“Juliana took amazing care of our pup and house while we were away. We had so much peace of mind knowing she was giving our dog all the care and love he needed. Would absolutely recommend her! 💕”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 and I’ve been kahu to two dogs in my adult life. I follow Cesar Milan’s calm-assertive pack mentality. Exercise, discipline, affection, in that order. I am an editor for a digital media company and I work from home. I normally take 60 to 120 minute walks with my own dog and would welcome any other dogs that need a good long walk around the hilly area of San Clemente. I have a very spacious and minimalist apartment that faces nature with no direct Neighbor. I live directly in front of my communities dog playground, so I’m able to take dogs on frequent ball breaks and potty breaks I have a very nice sturdy kennel that has wood accents and is very comforting to a crate train dog Short hair dogs are welcome on my furniture. It’s a very nature Forward apartment complex that is dog friendly and if your dog boards with me overnight, sleeping is quiet, smoke-free, and kid free.
“John was great! We booked last minute. I went with him based on his reviews, and they’re all accurate. He was prompt and our dog took to him immediately. We got photos while we were out and Faust was so relaxed when we got back. We will definitely book with him again in the future. Honestly, 10 out of 10.”
“Bradey is such a wonderful pet sitter! She watched our 8 year old dog and our two new 4 month old kittens while we were on vacation. She took such incredible care of them. Managing their complicated meals and keeping them entertained and happy while we were gone. She sent us photos and text updates every day and also took care of packages that arrived and our garbage cans to & from the curb. The house was immaculate when we returned - she even washed the linens and towels!! She went above and beyond and we will absolutely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
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.
Abigail was amazing and kept us informed with updates and pictures throughout our trip in Europe. We have two very large dogs that can be a handful and she went above and beyond with everything. Our house was immaculate when we came back and our pups were well looked after. Will 100% rebook when our next trip comes up!!

FAQs for House Sitting - San Clemente
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in San Clemente on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,301 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.

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.
