About: 5 years experience of… • Dog walking — Safe, consistent walks tailored to each dog’s pace, energy, and comfort. • Drop‑in visits — Quick check‑ins for pets, including feeding, water refresh, potty breaks, and playtime. • Vacation care — Reliable in‑home care while owners travel, keeping pets on their normal routine and homes tidy. • Medication handling — Comfortable giving oral medications, supplements, and following special‑care instructions. • Feeding & routines — Follow exact diets, portions, and schedules to keep pets happy and healthy. I work part‑time, so I have plenty of open availability to care for your pets — whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, or vacation care, i’m available! I do have a dog — her name is Lola, and she’s a sweet golden doodle. She’s wonderful company for other fur babies and has joined me on many of my bookings. Lola gets along beautifully with all animals and people, and she brings a calm, friendly energy.

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.

She has great knowledge about dogs and was sweet and mindful about our dog’s needs. While we were away, she provided daily updates and photos. Very trustworthy, dependable, and caring for our dog. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Since I was a little girl, I have always had at least two canine companions by my side—which is partially due to having a dog-loving mother who works in the pet grooming industry—so naturally, I have made friends with cats and dogs from all walks of life (and many other animals, too!). My fondness toward all living creatures, however, is something innate. I have plenty of experience in pet care, be it from caring for the pets of my own (including insects!), to working in animal shelters, and petsitting for friends, family, and professionally for clients. Whether it is time to eat, play, walk, bathe, or administer medication—I am here to assist with any tasks (including light housekeeping during house sitting) that can provide you with peace of mind while your pet & I are busy becoming new best friends 🐾🦴💗 My current schedule is pretty consistent, flexible & seldom changes, but if necessary I am always willing to do my best to accommodate your needs. When I come to your home, I believe it is important to prioritize the normal routine of your pet for their comfort & wellbeing, first and foremost. However, I love to incorporate morning/evening walks & extra play time if this works for your pet! I love to know all of the little details about your pet so I can become more of a friend to them rather than a stranger & the rules which allow me take care of them adequately. I am more than willing to keep in touch with you through messages & photos throughout the duration of my time caring for your fluffy babie(s).

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. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs you share with me. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved member of your family. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and kindness I would want for my own, while keeping a close eye on them and communicating with you along the way. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I bring a unique level of experience and professionalism to pet care, shaped by over two decades of service as a U.S. Marine and certified dog handler. I’ve deployed to Afghanistan as a combat dog handler, later serving as a trainer and kennel master, where I was responsible for the care, training, and performance of working dogs in high-stress environments. I also hold training certifications from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as well as specialized credentials through the ATF and Department of Defense. This background not only taught me advanced skills in training puppies and adult dogs, but also in providing attentive care for senior and special-needs dogs. Above all, I bring patience, discipline, and a genuine love for animals—treating every dog I work with as if they were my own. I retired from active duty this year and I am a full time student, but I’m generally flexible in most situations and can work through challenges. My current residence is enclosed by a fence with a nice yard and patio area in a calm neighborhood by the pier in San Clemente, close to the beach and trails.

She loved on my cats as well and treated them as her own! She was so good about potty breaks, feeding time, taking pictures, keeping me updated and just overall very responsive and just so kind! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their fur babies watched or checked in on! Absolutely loved having her stay with my babies and plan to utilize her services in the future!”

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: As a dedicated and responsible pet sitter, I provide loving care for pets of all ages, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while their owners are away. With a strong background in leadership, customer service, and teamwork, I bring reliability, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I’m currently in college as a senior, so this gives me ample amount of time to take care of your pet, and make sure they are given the best care possible! I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own space, and I take great care to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment while you’re away. My approach is based on trust, attentiveness, and a deep respect for your pet’s routine and home.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
