Angey was amazing! My cat took a liking to her immediately and she cared for her greatly while I was away. Angey also took care of my tortoises while I was gone and shared she had a tortoise previously. :) highly recommend Angey!!!

About: We're recent empty nesters looking to share our love with a furry friend. Our family dog passed away recently, leaving a real hole in our hearts, and with our kids off at college, my husband and I miss having that companionship at home. I've cared for animals my whole life, most recently our family Maltipoo, who was with us for eight years. She needed a bit of extra care along the way — including knee surgery on both rear legs for a luxating patella, and extra attention after she went blind in her final year. That experience taught me a lot about patience and hands-on care, and I'd welcome a dog who needs some extra love, whether or not they come with special needs. I work from home, so your dog would never be left alone for long stretches — I have plenty of time for walks, play, and simply being present. Being we live in an area with coyotes and other wild animals, I would never leave your dog outside alone and would always have them with me on a leash including at the local park. With no kids, I will make sure there is nothing they can get into or find to chew on in the home.

About: Hi! I’m Bree. I’ve always had animals in my life, and I genuinely love being around them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve lived with several roommates’ dogs over the years, which means I’ve spent a lot of time caring for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve learned how to read their moods, understand their needs, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I also have a close friend who is a professional pet trainer, and I often ask them for advice whenever I want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for the pets I care for. Because of that, I get the benefit of expert insight along with real-world, hands-on experience. My approach is simple: I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I’ll talk to them, I’ll be patient with them, I’ll respect their boundaries, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and listened to. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful outing, or some quiet company at home, I’ll show up for them every single time. I work part time and go to school part time so I have mornings & afternoons free Monday-Thursday and after that I do attend school from 5pm-10pm those days. I work 4-10pm on Fridays -Sundays and I am available before and after those hours. I can follow any instructions needed to optimize care for your fur family. I will make sure all doors and cabinets to places they shouldn’t be in are secured and they are always safe.

About: Animals bring me so much joy and I'm excited to get to know yours! Let’s be honest, our fur babies would prefer us around All.The.Time but as we know life is busy!! That's where I come in, ready to greet your pets with kindness, cuddles and lots of love. And I always make sure to match their energy. I grew up with dogs & cats (and fish!) all around and I love caring for, training and spending time with animals. Most recently I raised & trained my sweet rescue baby, a German Shepherd Boxer mix (she's a BIG baby yes!). Friends often call on me to take care of their furry family members. I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and can't wait to meet them and treat/spoil them with love like my own fur babies. I currently work from home while my girlfriend and I start our own businesses (working hard to chase our dreams!). My schedule is flexible at the moment so I can be available on short notice. Reach out so we can find a time and schedule that works best for you and your pets! For drop-in visits and walks I'm here to offer whatever your pet needs. Is Fido full of rambunctious energy and play? I'm ready for it! Chill time with cuddles? Sounds great! A rousing game of fetch? Fantastic! I will adjust to exactly what your fur baby needs and always send photos of our time together so you can rest easy that your pet is healthy and happy. Evfurrybody (couldn't resist) needs something a little different and I'll bring the love and build the trust that all animals need to feel safe and cared for.

Carmel was absolutely amazing with our Doberman! From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with large breeds. She provided consistent updates and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly went on our trip worry-free knowing our pup was in such great hands. We will absolutely be booking with Carmel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and loving sitter!

About: I've always adored dogs and have cared for them nearly my whole 50+ year life! From puppies to seniors. I work from home and LOVE to take walks with furry friends. I can fully care for them in my safe home or yours. I work 100% remote from my condo in San Clemente so I can take frequent breaks to care for your pup and also walk and play many times throughout the day. At night I devote great attention to pets because they make me so happy. My calendar is always up to date! I am very cautious and protective of my dogs; I will triple check safety and always care for your pet like he or she is my own.

Kyle is amazing! I used Kyle for the first time after loosing my prior dog sitter that I had had for several years. I needed drop in visits for my two fur babies a couple times a day while leaving for a planned vacation. On top of everything else one of my dogs was injured the week prior and needed daily medication and extra attention. Kyle absolutely delivered flawlessly. He’s got a great personality, truly cares about your pets, is excellent at communicating and giving updates as well as amazing photos the entire time. I can’t say enough good things about him. I will definitely use him again.

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.

About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.

About: Over the last three years, I have devoted my time to nurturing more than 20 dogs of different sizes and breeds, working alongside three well-respected rescue organizations. My large backyard and pet-friendly neighborhood create a perfect setting for walks and playtime, allowing each dog to receive the love and care they truly need. To help you feel at ease while you're away, I can provide a daily schedule and share photos of your pup's day with me. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, I am an ideal caregiver for dogs that may be fearful of others or are not spayed or neutered. As a stay-at-home mom, I offer a nurturing environment for your dog, ensuring they receive comfort, companionship, and attentive supervision. My flexible schedule allows me to engage in dog walking, socializing, and playful activities in the backyard, enriching the experience for every furry friend in my care. My spacious backyard, featuring a blend of lush grass and concrete, provides the perfect environment for our pets to frolic and unleash their energy. With my background in crate training, potty training, and teaching basic commands, I am well-equipped to ensure that your pets thrive in this inviting space.

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.

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.

I had never used a service like Rover to have someone look after my cat, but after meeting Lauren, I knew I had nothing to worry about. My Lucy took to her immediately. Lauren sent me daily photos and I could tell she was happy. Upon my return, after almost two weeks, she was healthy, happy, content and no accidents, which is huge because she had been having them before I left. Lauren definitely knows & loves animals and they instinctively trust her. I will definitely call upon her again when needed. She's an absolutel LOVE!

About: I’ve grown up with many different pets since I was a very little girl, and have found that each of them have taught me new and helpful experiences. I’ve worked with animals from hamsters to horses since I was very young. I’m a college student who is back home for my summer break, and I’m looking to spend my free time with some lovely critters. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can work around anyone’s schedule. In my home, we make sure that my pets are always giving love and affection, that they get plenty of exercise inside and outside, and always have access to freshwater and food. This will also be the same in my employers homes.

Kyle did such an amazing job caring for my dog while I was out of town for work. I’m a first time Rover user so I was hesitant to select a stranger to come into my home, but Kyle was very communicative and friendly. We had a meet and greet ahead of the stay so my dog could check him out and go over the routine. 10/10 would recommend Kyle to care for your pet!

Owen has been the best cat-sitter for our 2 cats! Easy to communicate, always on time, understandable of our needs. We have a complicated automatic toilet, feeders, and water dispenser - Owen was able to operate all that stuff. He spent time fixing our automatic toilet when it got stuck. Bottom line, we are happy and will be looking for Owen's services next time if available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in San Clemente on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,604 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Clemente. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Clemente stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
