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: I have experience caring for St. Bernards, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, and Bulldogs. I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds and understand their different needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and personality. Safety, patience, and reliability are my top priorities. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and enjoyable. I’m mostly home and available to walk your dog during the standard work day! I’m also a mom and play taxi driver to our girls! I would make sure the yard is secured or the house as well as keep your pup on leash for walks! Look forward to meeting your dog(s)!

About: My family always had big dogs growing up, and I’ve had my big puppy for 9 years. We’ve been through a lot with our buddy - training, injuries, medications, you name it! So I’m comfortable providing the care that is needed for your furry friend. I currently work full time remote, taking care of my own dog. We used to take him on long walks, but he’s no longer able to manage as much, which is why I have some extra time (don’t worry - he still gets lots of love!!). I am happy to visit your home to take care of your dog. I will be respectful of any rules you have in place for your dog’s comfort and safety.

“Breena did such a wonderful taking care of my 3 kitties while I was away for a week. I felt comfortable with her from our first meeting. I could tell that she knows cats and loves cats. She even came in when she was not feeling well one day. She is very responsible and my suspicious cats warmed up to her quickly. I would not hesitate to book her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with two pugs that were around for my entire childhood and into my teen years. I have experience in caretaking for senior dogs with medical issues. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs (8 of those years were spent professionally dogsitting). I also spend my free time as a volunteer at Pug Nation LA and I absolutely love it!! I moved from Hawaii where I was a popular dog sitter in my area with several regulars. I'm excited to meet more dogs and take on new clients! I'm located in South OC (Laguna Beach, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel). If you’re interested and in my radius, please book a meet and greet with me ASAP. Also, I exclusively watch dogs and I will NOT accept a booking with any other animals (cats, birds, hamsters, etc). With my part-time job I am out of the house for 4-6 hours each day. If your dogs cannot be left alone that long then I can work out another arrangement like doing drop-ins. My care for pets includes a clean house, packages and mail brought in, plants watered, plenty of pictures of your dogs, treats, toys, text updates everyday, daily walks, etc.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2013 where I was responsible for feeding, walking, grooming and giving my dog daily exercise activities. I also previously watched dogs for families and friends before apps like Rover came out. I’ve always been naturally friendly with dogs and they take a liking to me. Right now I’m available weekdays. I do work part-time as a sports coach in the afternoons. I do my best to be very present to support my wife and first born seven month old girl. I’m able to walk our fur pals whether their are crated or not with care. Our two dogs (a pure miniature Corgi and white Canaan) used to be crated for when my wife and I went to work. Eventually I worked from home so they didn’t have to be crated during the day. My wife and I moved back home with her parents so our dogs live with my mother on their property.
About: Looking to love on some adorable pets who may need a walk or some extra love. This is the first time in 25 years I have not had a pet in my home. It is sad, but also giving me the opportunity to care for your pets:) I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, frogs, lizards, rabbits, goats, etc:) I am active and enthusiastic so able to provide them with love and care. *free pick up and drop off from the Dana point ritz Carlton and Waldorf Astoria! I work from home, so I am flexible to work around your pet's routine. I can adjust my schedule to fit Their walk and eating schedule I enjoy having pets around as I work from home during the day. I prefer they are with me and feel safe and secure:) I have a one-level open home, so I am always near by. Bedroom doors are closed during the day. I may have errands that take me out of the house during the day for 1-3 hours. But this is not everyday.
About: I’m highly reliable and flexible. I can meet the needs of you pet and will give them the attention they require. I’m a stay at home mom and I would enjoy the presence of your pet to help me stay productive. The number of walks per day will depend on your location. I’m able to dog sit up to 5-7 days a week. Over night stays would be discussed depending if your pet sleeps indoor or outdoors. It is very possible at my home but I would like to know any important details about your pet I should know about when going to bed. I prefer for your pet to be child friendly as well. I’m looking forward to meeting any friendly pet that comes my way.
“Lily did a great job taking care of my cats! She handled some unexpected issues that came up and kept me updated the whole time. I was able to take care of what I needed to without worrying about my pets, knowing that someone trustworthy was looking after them.”

“Very grateful for Jordan and her care for my Moosher. We had never been apart so this was the first tim, and I was worried. She get scared of all people that are not me but she accepted Jordan and her presence”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs - giant and small! I love animals and am happy to help care for any animals from babies to senior. I am a physician assistant but am currently taking some time off, so my schedule is quite open to fit your pets needs into my routine! I’m typically open throughout the day. I offer play time and snuggles with your pet(s) during each drop-in visit. I will also give treats (if ok with owner) and ensure the animals have ample water! I am flexible and willing to work with owners to learn their routines and preferences.
“Mackenna was awesome! I felt total trust and confidence in leaving my dog in the care of Mackenna know that Sami, my husky, would be well cared for. Mackenna went above and beyond in providing extra care, cuddles and was very attentive.”

“Angey did a really good job of keeping me updated on my cats and was even able to capture some pictures of my reclusive girls which gave me comfort knowing they were OK. I felt confident knowing they were being checked on and given fresh food and water.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attentiveness I bring to every dog I care for. I cared for my poodle mix for 13 years, giving him a happy life full of walks, beach adventures, and unconditional love. Throughout his life, he experienced ongoing health challenges, which gave me valuable experience providing consistent and attentive care, including managing special diets, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in his behavior and needs. When I went off to college and left my family dog at home, my care for dogs didn’t stop. I continued working with animals by becoming a dog sitter and walker for my college’s service puppies in training, and I also helped my sister care for various foster dogs. These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with multiple dogs at once, each with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and strengthened my ability to stay attentive, organized, and calm in any situation. Beyond that, I have experience walking neighbors’ dogs and pet sitting for both puppies and senior dogs for friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. When I moved back home a little over two years ago, I returned to caring for my family dog full time. He became my priority in his final years, and I made sure he had daily long walks, multiple trips to the beach each week, and constant companionship and comfort. I’m signing up for Rover because I want to continue sharing the love and dedication I had for my own dog with other pets and families. Caring for him gave me a strong sense of purpose, and I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of attention, companionship, and care to your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently employed part-time, where I primarily work events during the evenings. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to add dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting to my existing daytime routine and days off. I already enjoy staying active through daily walks and spending time outdoors, and I would love the opportunity to include more dogs in those walks while providing them with exercise, companionship, and attentive care. My flexible availability allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I believe safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine, respect their space, and provide the same level of attention and care I would want for my own dog. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, comfort level, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. My 13 years caring for my own poodle mix gave me experience with providing consistent, attentive care, including managing medications, special diets, and recognizing changes in behavior or health needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I will always prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks and visits, maintaining a clean and calm environment, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time

“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

I am so happy we found Amy - she sends photos and a report at every visit and we come home to a happy and content kitty. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind we have when we're away knowing that she's taking good care of our kitty and our home. Thank you Amy!

I rebooked Breeana a second time because she did a great job the first time. She came to feed my 3 kitties and take care of them while I was away. Again, she did a wonderful job. I was especially grateful that she noticed that a kitty had turned on the air conditioning unit accidentally while the hose that is supposed to vent out the window was venting indoors. She quickly unplugged the unit and told me about the hazardous incident. I was very relieved and will make sure I unplug appliances before I leave next time. The kitties were all doing well and happy when I returned. I would gladly rebook her in the future.
Jimena was great while taking care of my dog Frank. After I suddenly lost a family member and wasn’t home for a couple weeks, she took great care of Frank and went above and beyond for my family, even as far as washing dishes I had left in the sink and cleaning out my fridge. It meant so much to know that my dog and home were safe and taken care of during this hard time. I would 100% recommend Jimena for someone looking for a reliable, caring, and considerate dog sitter.

Emelia took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away. She came by to feed them, but also took the initiative to bring a brush and a toy so that she could engage with them. In the pictures she sent, they appeared very comfortable and happy. She was successful at getting even my most distrustful kitty to play with the feather-on-a-string, When I returned home, the kitties looked content and everything in the kitty room was super clean. I highly recommend her and hope that I can use her services again in the future.
I’m very happy to have found Katelyn for occasional check ins. She is very friendly, reliable and punctual. She did everything exactly how I explained. Her experience as an RVT really gave us peace of mind since we have a diabetic dog thats needs insulin injections and medication. I definitely recommend her; especially if you have dogs with special needs.

Rachel was very reliable and communicative, and she did an excellent job of taking care of my two dogs and bird while I was gone. She is conscientious and follows directions well. It’s great to find someone you can trust so I will be using her again. Thank you Rachel!
I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Denise for taking care of Gemma (& all the house hiccups) this past holiday week! She kept our minds at peace while we were back East thousands of miles away. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Denise...I have had about a dozen sitters over the past 10 years and Gemma was the most calm and like herself upon our return out of any sitting experience I have ever had. So grateful for you, Denise!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Juan Capistrano is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $44 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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.
