“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: 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 believe my love for animals and responsible, caring instincts are what set me apart from other pet/home care providers. Caring for your furry beloveds in your absence truly brings joy and is an opportunity to make a positive difference in your lives. What could be better then that? 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 your 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.
“Cailin took great care of our cats and was very communicative about how they were doing during visits. Are cats are very shy but she did a great job trying to make them comfortable”
“Took great care of our dogs! Was easy to communicate with, and took some cute photos so we could see how they're doing. We had a list of instructions and she followed them exactly :)”
About: I'm a dog mom myself — a 2.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old pittie — and I grew up with dachshunds, so I get everything from zoomie puppy energy to slow senior strolls. I'm a fitness instructor, so I'm active and outdoors all day anyway, and pet care fits right into my routine. I build walks around my teaching schedule, with plenty of time for morning, midday, and evening walks, plus weekends. Your dog gets a real outing, not a rushed loop, and I'll always send photo updates so you know how they're doing. In your home, I follow your routine exactly — feeding, meds, walks, and all your house rules — and I leave everything as I found it. I'm a dog mom myself, to a young dachshund and a 13-year-old pittie, so I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I always keep leashes on outdoors, check gates, and send updates every visit so you have total peace of mind.
About: Cared for my doggy after her amputation and throughout her cancer treatment. Know how to carry dogs safely, give them medications, and anything that’s needed. Currently working as a therapist and this role is an add on to make a little extra money and get some pet time. I love animals and since we’re not ready to get another pup yet, thought this would be a great way to connect. Would prefer to care for pets in their own homes if possible as it is more familiar for them and I can easily set up and settle anywhere for a few days as needed. Trust wise, I’m a licensed therapist, with no criminal background history and very trustworthy and dependable.
“Juliette is a dream dog sitter! We had just adopted our Frenchie from a shelter and were still getting to know him. She took initiative at every turn, ensuring his medications were on schedule, helping establish a potty routine, and thoughtfully portioning his fresh food without being asked. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine affection gave us real peace of mind. I recommend her wholeheartedly—though I hope she’ll still be available when we need her again.”
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: 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].)
“Thank you! I forgot to tell you that sometimes when he’s sleeping his arm will slip out of his harness. In the second picture it looks like this might have happened. Thanks again for your help!”
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: Hi! My name is Rebecca and I'm an American/Canadian living in San Clemente, CA. I am a remote grad student and am always looking for new furry friends to hang out with. In my spare time, I love trying new things, hiking, and making friends with strangers. I've been a go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors for years. My specialty is with active dogs, but I've cared for all types of pets. Fun Facts: - I once lived in the Yukon for a month chasing the northern lights and running from grizzly bears - I once took in a stray cat at my university and kept him in my dorm apartment until we could rehome him. We named him Julius (he had an orange coat). - My longest travel time to a destination was 36 hours - I ran my first half marathon this year I work remotely, so I can work with your pet's schedule and give them the one-on-one attention they need while you're away. Whether it's a hike, a long walk, or a stop at the dog park, my flexible schedule gives me the ability to guarantee a happy pup! I take great pride in being trustworthy in the way I care for both your pets and your home. I care for your home as if it were my own and often leave it cleaner than I found it.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I could remember! I currently have a yorkie. I have cared for blind and deaf dogs before so I am used to taking care of dogs with certain disabilities. I am a recent college graduate who just moved back home so I am very flexible to walk/dog sit. Your dog will be in good hands <3 I have a yorkie but it should not be an issue since I am only offering dog walking and would not be bringing my pup :)
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.
“Lizette looked after my two cats while I was out of town for about a week and a half. She was extremely dependable and communicative. I would definitely recommend Lizette to anyone and would be thrilled to have her look after my cats again!”

Juliette is a dream dog sitter! We had just adopted our Frenchie from a shelter and were still getting to know him. She took initiative at every turn, ensuring his medications were on schedule, helping establish a potty routine, and thoughtfully portioning his fresh food without being asked. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine affection gave us real peace of mind. I recommend her wholeheartedly—though I hope she’ll still be available when we need her again.
Matthew was an amazing cat sitter for us. He communicated well and would send us daily updates about the cats. He gave them meds and even emptied the litter! He spent extra time with them playing and making sure they got everything they needed. Our house was just as spotless as when we left town. Would highly recommend.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Juan Capistrano is $21 per visit as of November 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,135 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Juan Capistrano. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Juan Capistrano. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
