Most importantly, he took excellent care of Tucker, ensuring he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend his services and would gladly book with him again.”

“Caitlin and her family were incredible! They made my dog feel like a member of the family, and Caitlin was amazing at sending me pictures and staying in touch the whole time. I felt so grateful to have Avalanche looked after so well while I was gone, and I will absolutely be using them again for all of my future dog-sitting needs!”
“We left our 8 year old golden with Hanna for 17 days, so I was pretty anxious to make the right decision choosing a carer for him. Hanna was very responsive to all my questions leading up to the stay, and then also when we were away we received regular feedback and photos. It was clear Astro was enjoying himself and we appreciated how he became a part of her family during his stay. On pickup Astro was very happy and looked so well. We would not hesitate to have him board with Hanna again.”
“John took exceptional care of our dog, Ollie. He was fantastic with him and kept us updated throughout the stay with frequent messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. John made sure Ollie ate well, spent plenty of time playing with him, and provided the attention and care he needed. He was always responsive, professional, and courteous. It’s clear that John genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in the way he cared for Ollie. We would happily trust him with Ollie again and highly recommend him to others.”
“This was my first time leaving Marley with a sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Saeedeh was incredibly sweet and welcoming from the moment we met, which immediately put me at ease. Marley was happy and comfortable, and I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures—it made such a difference. It’s clear Marley was very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, horses, cows and I would go out with my greatgrand-grandmother on her bull farm with many of our dogs. It was an amazing experience and taught me how to train and work with dogs on the farm. I am currently working for myself and make my own schedule. I have many available times to work around your schedule. I feel the best way to represent clients is by working around their needs. I am comfortable in almost any situation. I am able to walk your pups at any time and able to play with them during their care. I am able to extend my hours to work with your schedule if your are running late, and occasionally spending the night if needed.

About: I've had animals in my life ever since I was 7. From birds to dogs to cats. I love animals and love spending time with them. I'm currently working part time in the afternoons during the weekends. My availability for walks is Monday- Thursday at any time.

Doreen was absolutely amazing! This was my first time leaving Ace overnight with someone other than family, and she made the experience completely stress-free. She has the kindest energy and genuinely cares for the pets in her care. It is such a huge relief that I can travel knowing Ace is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care. I’m so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend, and Ace is already excited for his next visit. Thank you, Doreen! 🐾❤️
It was a pleasure to have my pup (Ruby) stay with Jacqueline and her family. I was some what nervous at first because Ruby has never been left with anyone in the past and this was a 5 night stay. Jacqueline eased my fears and sent me updates. I feel like I can actually plan a vacation or a getaway in the future without worrying!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Vlad & Dorothy! Dolly absolutely fell in love and got so attached, which says everything because I’m very particular about who I trust with her. They were incredibly kind, sweet, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was, made the whole experience so easy for me. I would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone truly caring and dependable!
Natalie is our go to sitter for our dog Lily! She’s always amazing! Lily scratched her eye a few days before our trip, so she was unexpectedly in a cone and needed eye drops every day. Natalie was such a rockstar and took the best care of her, even with the extra work required! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
Thank you Lindsay for taking such good care of Maya on her first staycation with you! Seeing all of the great pictures and videos of her playing and having a great time, I was not sure she would want to come home. It definitely put my mind at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. Highly recommend Lindsay!
Neil took great care of our dog, Ted while we were away. He was friendly, welcoming, and very communicative throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates and could tell Ted was well cared for and comfortable. We would happily book with Neil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
James did a great job with my dog Stella while I had family in town. Stella had so much fun with James and Brody that she was always excited to see them again. He was flexible with all the last minute plans and kept me up to date with the fun they were having through the day. I always returned home to a happy and tired puppy, which was awesome!
Super flexible and attentive… took Conan on several long walks with their dog Maverick, with whom Conan got along very well and had a weekend full of playing. Patient with Conan adapting to their environment and to their dog and very communicative… kept me posted about Conan and sent many photos. Thank you so much!
This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in San Juan Capistrano can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Juan Capistrano home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Juan Capistrano.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your San Juan Capistrano sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
