“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.”
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.
“Kathie was wonderful. She responded with speed, met the dogs, and showed up on time. These are great but she was also heroic. Someone got into my garage and she had to think with urgency and when I arrived home Katherine remained calm, the dogs were calm. Thank you Katie”
About: NOTE: I do my best to keep the Rover calendar updated. Even if I appear booked please contact me to verify. I have cared for elderly dogs where they can only walk one block; I administer meds as directed; I love going to a park or beach and safely run your pet, whether it is wide open or filled with other dogs. I follow your instructions on how to deal with the behaviors of your pet and I abide by my own safety rules as well. I will take out your trash on collection day, pick up your mail and any delivered packages and water your plants. I currently work remotely off laptop Monday - Friday, with great flexibility in my daily/weekly schedule. I would love to give your pets daily walks. I pet sit at your home. I ask questions about their needs, and prefer there be written notes left for me to refer to. Notes would also include medication needs and your favorite two emergency neighbors/trusted friend phone numbers.
About: Dog walking was my first job when I was 12! Growing up my family rescued dogs and we had as many as 3 at a time. Since then, I’ve sat for every dog breed from german shepherds to jack russel terriers! Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me with their pets for over a decade, and I’d love to continue that trust with your pet! I’m a financial analyst and I work from my home. Exercise is important to me, so taking dogs on long walks and playing outside helps me just as much as it helps them! I am an early riser and I have a dedicated schedule for my weekdays that I am happy to fit your pets into. We have a 2 bedroom apartment in the downtown area of San Clemente. While there’s not a ton of room to run around inside, there are plenty of great paths for walking around where we live. If your pet prefers to stay at your home, I will go above and beyond to respect your space and keep you and your pet comfortable.
“Bree was absolutely amazing with my girl Reina. Reina can be a little anxious in new situations, and Breeana handled that perfectly. She was patient, attentive, and really made sure Reina was comfortable and cared for while I was out of town for a few days. Bree was also extremely communicative the whole time, sending updates and checking in, which gave me a ton of peace of mind while I was away. Reina seemed happy and relaxed when I got back, and Breeana even left my place clean and taken care of. I’m really grateful I found Bree and will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: I have helped my mom care for animals my entire life. Throughout my teenage year I helped her care for 3 pit bulls and also helped at the shelter that she worked at walking the dogs and feeding the animals. As I grew older I had my own animals, such as a cat, lizard, multiple mice, and a dog I had trained from a puppy. I have recently moved and had to rehome my dog and would now like to use my experiences and love for animals to help other people. Hello! I’m Ryelee, I am currently working as a caretaker 5 days a week, but absolutely love animals and would love to spend time with your babies! I am not currently in the position to have my own animals but as a person who grew up around them, I miss them very very much. In my free time you can find me roller blading, crocheting, or at the beach! When I care for other people animals I start with going over the instructions of care the owners has provided with them while asking questions that will benefit me and the animals later. I then follow the feeding, exercising, and cleaning practices the owner has asked me to follow. While doing this I also watch how the animal is reacting to me and how much affection the animal itself needs from me, so I’m not overwhelming them.
“Andrea went above and beyond to take care of our leash reactive pup and in our home. We’re grateful to have her experience and communication after losing our long-term sitter. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Emma was awesome. She cared for Our Glinda girl and my Angelfish while we were away. All was great and my Glinda was very happy when we came home. Emma updated us daily with video and photos and she even cooked for my pup as well. Thank you for everything, Emma. We’ll see you next time. The Bishop Family.”

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care.

More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Alexis is the BEST!! She took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was so patient and attentive to all of his little quirks and made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Would absolutely book with Alexis again and highly recommend her!!
Erica was absolutely wonderful to work with! I was away for a full day during a bad heat wave with no AC, and she was incredibly attentive to Wyatt, making sure he stayed cool and hydrated while keeping me updated throughout the day. It was our first time working together, and I’m so thrilled to have found her. Coming home after a long day to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitty was such a relief. I’ll definitely be working with Erica again!
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.
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.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in San Clemente is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $160 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,206 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
