Juliana was loving and attentive to both our older dogs and very respectful of our home and space! She sent us lots of updates and pictures, and both our dogs love her. She is great with my one pup who is impulsive and dog reactive, and my other pup who never cuddles anyone snuggled with her! Very happy to have found her!

About: I have a calm, reliable approach and over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own routine and environment, which is especially helpful for anxious or sensitive dogs. I’m dependable, attentive to details, and communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease while they’re away. I’m also looking to build long term relationships with clients, providing consistent, trusted care over time. I am currently working part time so im able to be flexible with scheduling and prioritize maintaining each dog’s normal routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or quiet companionship at home. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while also respecting the home and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and have owned and been around dogs my whole life. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m not currently working any other jobs so I have pretty much full availability, I can host pets at my home with a fenced in yard and dog park in the neighborhood or have no problem coming to you! Fenced in yard, dog park in neighborhood, I have one small baby doodle in the home who is very friendly and loving to keep any pups company, can also keep dogs separate or crated depending on how you prefer your care.

Stephanie is a super star sitter! Our dog is sweet but has separation anxiety. Stephanie made her so comfortable that Etta was all smiles in all of her check in photos and videos. This helped us fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in great hands. Also, the photos and videos Stephanie sent were so cute, well captioned, and well-timed. I had some detailed instructions and Stephanie followed them all excellently. Her excellent communication and understanding helped manage my own anxieties about leaving Etta at home. She was extremely clean and left our place looking great. Also very reliable, professional, and punctual. My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience and would 100% work with Stephanie again!

About: As the mom of a 16-year-old pup, I understand how much our animals mean to us. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and have lots of fun until you return home. Because I always end up missing my dog when I'm on vacation or at work, I know how comforting it is to see what they're up to, so I'm happy to share lots of photo updates. My own dog is a senior with medical conditions, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering medications and fluids when needed. Having a senior dog has taught me to be extremely patient and has given me a better understanding of how to read a dog's behavior and know when it's time to give them space or when they're ready to play. I'm happy to take them on walks to get their energy out or relax with them at home, depending on their routine and mood. I look forward to watching your pet! I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. My flexible schedule means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and can maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. This also allows me to protect my own senior dog, Mishi, who has lymphoma and is more vulnerable to illnesses and infections. I have years of experience babysitting in clients’ homes, so I’m respectful of others’ privacy, property, and routines. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own while making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

I am available for dog or cat visits and dog walks anytime after 3pm. I am on the beach trail in San Clemente almost every day so that is a favorite activity for dogs specifically. I am very respectful of the space I am visiting. I am there solely to care for your beloved pet. I am a trustworthy individual committed to the care of your pet.

My schedule is very flexible as I strive to establish myself on Rover as a pet care provider of choice. When do you need care for your furry loved ones?

About: I have a big family and we’ve had pets since I was born!! I had a dog for a short period when I was a little kid, but mostly grew up with my 3 cats (one who sadly recently passed). My extended family has always had dogs and they would hire me and my sister to dog sit while they were on vacation or walk during random times of the week. It’s always the best part of my week (next to laying in bed w my kitties). In addition to that I was a nanny for 3 1/2 years where I learned what it’s like to be responsible and compassionate towards taking care of others (and their pets of course)! I am a college student at Saddleback College and I have my own online business (work at home) so my schedule is very very flexible! I do have cats at home that stay indoors but also a fenced in backyard and a neighborhood with dog parks and lots of beach trails!

About: I am a huge animal lover and have been a rover sitter for over 2 years! I grew up raising puppies and have always been surrounded by animals. This last year I worked on a homestead caring for chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. I love being able to meet new pets and their amazing owners! I currently work part time and update my availability consistently. I usually work mornings 2-3 days, so I can provide pet care most mornings, afternoons and nights. In a clients home I offer lots of snuggles and playtime! On walks I allow dogs to sniff, play and get their exercise. Safety and security is also my top priority with your pet. Getting to know your pets personality is a big part of my philosophy with pet care.

About: Honestly? Dogs are just my people. I have a 3-year-old Golden named Ares, and I'm also hands-on with a family pack of five Goldens, so between the zoomies, the senior slow walks, and everything in between, I've pretty much seen it all. Big dogs, reactive dogs, medication schedules, strict feeding routines, none of that phases me. What I care most about is that you actually feel good leaving. Not just okay with it, genuinely at ease. So I follow your routine to the letter, send real photo updates (not just the posed ones), and I'm always on time. Always. We're lucky to be close to some great spots, the coastal trails in Newport, the paths near Crystal Cove, Heritage Dog Park, and I know how to navigate them safely. I keep a close eye on the environment, especially brush and ticks, because your dog doesn't know what they're getting into but I do. Whether your dog needs a long run or just a calm, quiet visit with someone who actually gets them, I've got it covered. Right now, my daily availability is incredibly flexible. I am currently taking some time between career moves, which means my week is wide open to prioritize your pet's needs. Whether you need a bright and early morning walk, mid-day drop-ins while you are at the office, or evening care, I can easily build my day around your dog's established routine. My own dog, Ares, has his set schedule, leaving the vast majority of my day completely open to step in exactly when you need me. When I am in your home for a drop-in or picking up your dog for a walk, safety and respect for your space are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home with the exact same care I treat my own, ensuring doors, gates, and locks are fully secured before and after every single visit. Out on the trails or sidewalks, I am hyper-vigilant about our surroundings, steering clear of hazardous brush, hot pavement, or unpredictable off-leash dogs. I stick strictly to your instructions and always leave things exactly as I found them.

Kyle went above & beyond, taking amazing care of my dog, Alfie, & my home. I’ve previously always had family members watch him when we travel, but schedules weren’t jiving this trip, & I figured it was time to find a great dog sitter I can trust to use regularly. I was referred to Rover through a client of mine, and after reviewing a few profiles for in-home dog sitting, I found Kyle. He came by to meet us, & right away I was confident we had found a perfect fit! I got detailed daily updates/photos explaining how Alfie was doing, & what their day consisted of. I was totally at ease knowing his daily routine wasn’t disrupted- Kyle even let Alfie sleep with him (Alfie would’ve insisted regardless, however), and I’m pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got home than it was when we left! Would 100% recommend Rover, and am so happy to have found Kyle. All the stars for Kyle, aka Alfie’s new best friend.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Clemente

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in San Clemente on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,376 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Clemente. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
