“Jonathan was amazing! Joplin immediately felt comfortable with him and I felt incredibly comfortable having him care for her. He’s naturally kind with dogs and I’ll definitely reach out to him in the future.”
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.
“Cailin took great care of Tia when we went to Disneyland. We received plenty of photos and updates during her visit and she was flexible with our schedule. We would definitely use her services Cailin if we come back for another visit to Anaheim.”
About: I have lived with animals all my life, usually a combination of cats and dogs. I always ensure the pets I take care of feel safe and at home. I have also owned a hamster and a frog so far! Im currentlly between full time jobs, so I can make taking care if your animal my full time job if needed! I still plan on sitting once I get settled because I love caring for animals anyways. I am immensely patient, and will try my best to ensure trust can be built between myself and your pet when caring for them. I love playing with pets and my past dogs were always hard leash pullers.
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.
“Amisha is a friendly and kind person and was so great with my pup. She has excellent communication and we are so happy we found her to take care of our little pup! Thank you Amisha :)”
“Janet was great with the pup. She was able to meet up before the scheduled visits for intros and to answer any questions. She was very accommodating and provided plenty of updates while looking after the pups. Would definitely recommend and would be happy for her to look after our dog again!”
About: I trained my dog from 3.5 months and he lived to 14.5 years old. So I have experience with puppies and older dogs. Training and medicine dispensing. I love all animals especially Dogs!! I am currently available after 8:00am - evening walks, or drop-ins if you are out to dinner. I look forward to drop-ins and walking your lovely family member. Or just sit and play with them in your home environment. I have experience with crating, feeding, medicines and walking dogs. I can't wait to meet your pooch! Experience with young and old. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!
About: My genuine affection for pets, experience in pet care, and appreciation for their unique personalities sets me apart from other pet care providers. Prior to joining Rover, a friend and I offered pet care services to the Sacramento community. My schedule is very flexible on the weekends, so I am available to car for your fur babies for out of town trips or to schedule regular dog walking as desired. In addition, I am available to schedule "drop-in" dog walking or pet care, during the week, as needed, up to 8:30pm. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my home, however, I am happy to provide a loving, fun and relaxing pet care environment in your home. In terms of how I do establish a safe environment in my clients' homes, I follow each client's directions for keeping their pets happy and safe.
About: I‘ve had pets my whole life, from gold fish to cats and dogs and even a mouse. I‘d love to help take care of your pet as though they were my own. I am fully available to care for pets. I do not have any limitations to my availability at this time. I‘m open to dog walking or overnight stays. When caring for your pet, I will be focused on their well being and safety. I will take care of them as if they were my own and give them my focus and attention.
About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care. I am currently working part-time 25hrs per week 5-hour shifts and am typically off at around 10pm. Therefore, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends before and after when I do work. More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)
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: Life long dog lover. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have a relaxed, loving and safe home for belly rubs. Seniors and Small friendly breeds welcomed. I am currently working part time mostly remote. So I have plenty time to give attention and love to your doggie. I’m available for boarding and walking. I have a fenced back patio for the fur babies. My guest have full range of the home. I have a multi poo myself and I can easily crate your dog if needed at your request.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Juan Capistrano
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!
Huiwen was great! Communication went very well. She was flexible, she spent some time with our little puppy, I felt nervous leaving him for the first time. But she made me feel very comfortable. She took great care of our little guy and we will definitely be booking to use her services again.
Tatiana went above and beyond while watching our dog Finn! Not only did she make sure Finn was fed & walked, but she also helped to train him & teach him new tricks! She was also very communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos while we were away. Thank you Tatiana! We will be booking with you again soon!
Helena was amazing! She showed up right on time, kept us updated with sweet pictures and check-ins, took Bean on a fun walk, and gave him so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Looking forward to having her watch Bean again.

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 Juan Capistrano 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
