The two dependent clauses in your list are:

  1. "Just in case Jonathan forgets to mow the grass in the area on the side of the garage"
  2. "after we return from vacation"

Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and typically begin with a subordinating conjunction, which is present in both of these examples.
