House Sitting San Juan Capistrano

About: I believe my love for dogs is what sets me apart from other dog and home care providers. You know when you are a dog person, and dogs bring me joy, I truly enjoy being with them and caring for them. 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? Let me know and I look forward to meeting you needs! I love providing a fun, relaxing and safe environment while you are away. In terms of how I do this, I follow each client's directions for keeping their pets happy and safe.

“Emma was amazing! We already can’t wait to use her again. My girls are pretty shy but they warmed up so fast with her! She made them feel really comfortable and I can tell made them feel so loved. She sent a lot of updates and even washed the sheets and took out the trash before she left, she went above & beyond! Thank you Emma!”

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.

“Janet is the absolute best. She always takes great care of our pups & home, and when we had a horrible 8 hour flight delay on our way home she was able to stay longer so we didn't have to worry”

Gregory J.

“Megan was great. Available in a pinch, timely responses, and we came back to house exactly as we left it. No issues whatsoever and we will absolutely use her again in the future.”

Ash M.

“If we could give a 6 star review we would! She is awesome. And Max is in love with his new Aunty. Sheryl communicates multiple time daily with photos and updates. When we returned Max was calm and looked well taken care of. Thanks Cheryl for looking after him!”

“Rachel is such a lovely person and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She was very communicative and left the sweetest letter to my pets after her stay. I can tell she really connected with them and that makes me so happy. She stepped in at the last minute, and took care of everything over the thanksgiving holiday. Did great with our both our cats and our Corgi. A true gem! We will definitely book her again.”

Morgan F.

“Thank you, Rachel! What a fantastic dogsitter and housitter. Our two dogs loved her and she took great care of our home when we were on vacation. Rachel is trustworthy, responsible, and friendly and I will happily recommend her to others.”

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I work remotely and can stay in your home, providing calm, reliable care and keeping your dog comfortable in their own space. I work remotely, which allows me to be home all day and give pets plenty of attention. I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship while staying overnight in your home to keep routines consistent and stress-free. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their own home and following their normal routines. I respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and provide regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Austin was amazing. He stayed with the dogs over the weekend. He sent pics and text periodically. He maintained their routine with walks and lots of running time. I can't tell you how reassured we were having him there. When we got home you would not have even known he was there. Everything was exactly the way we left it. We can't thank him enough. He will definitely be our go to for sure. He has made furever friends with our girls.”

Lisa E.

“Camille was amazing! She made friends with our dogs so quickly and spent a bunch of time getting to know them. She went above and beyond, sent photos, and gave updates. Would highly recommend her for any dog service!”

Collin H.

“Jadyn was so great. Communicated very well and was engaging with Luna. The peace of mind knowing Luna was cared for so lovingly meant a lot. Thank you Jadyn!!”

Chad B.

“Hannah was great with both our dog and cat! They both got lots of love and attention. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care, and came home to our house looking exactly as we left it. We would definitely book her again for house and pet sitting.”

About: Animals tend to be very fond of me. I enjoy playing with active pets and I always take their comfort level seriously. I also am extremely tidy and do my best to keep things as they were when I arrived. I work three days a week, eight hours, Monday through Wednesday until 2pm. Besides that my schedule is pretty flexible. I can always bounce around too Something I never forget to do is keep everything locked and for the most part the animal will not be out of my sight unless I have to work, which will be communicated prior to the visit.

“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”
