“Marissa did an amazing job! We adopted a puppy w/ severe trauma background who is afraid of everyone, who’d never been left alone w/ anyone before. He’s never let anyone near him before. Marisa’s patience and skill w dogs with a traumatic past enabled her to break through his fears and by the end of the day my sweet dog was cuddling with her! It was truly amazing. I highly recommend Marissa.”
About: Hello, I Have alot of experience with dogs and would love to watch yours. My experience is with both puppies and dogs alike. I am a big dog lover! I currently own two socialized and well behaved dogs who love to meet others. I have a lot of experience watching dogs and have watched many different breeds with all kinds of personalities. If you would like me to walk them everyday, that is not an issue. Please feel free to send me a request. I am reliable, responsible, dependable, and can guarantee they will receive the love and exercise they need while you are away. I treat every dog who I watch as my own pup. I always make sure I give plenty of updates and send pictures throughout their stay so you know exactly how your dog/ dogs are doing. Your pup will receive constant care and attention. I always treat your dogs just like I would treat my own. Look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you. Right now Friday-Sunday can do some Monday as long as it is earlier on. Feel free to send a message so we can discuss more. If your dog is outside I am too. There is always supervision no dogs are left alone. I’ll be your pups BFF and treat your pet as my own.
“Maria did a great job taking care of Abby. Abby had the best time. Maria sent me pictures and videos everyday. Which made my day. Maria took care of Abby like she would her own dog. I would definitely have her watch Abby again and I would definitely recommend her to watch someone else dog. She is great .”
About: I’m a huge animal lover. Currently a cat mom but have been a dog mom for many years. I’m extremely patient and lovable with pets so I’m definitely someone you can count on. Ideally I would like to do this full time. I only care for my cat and home so I currently am very open when it comes to availability. I have an indoor cat. She is spayed and fed a can of wet food every morning. I feed her dry food and check on her water too. Litter box gets cleaned every night and play time at least 15min a day along with cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I hope this gives you an idea of how I will care for your pets.
“She is very professional, took great care of our pups and our house. We didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. She was very punctual with communication, and sent pictures and videos. Highly recommend.”
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs most of my life, all of different breeds, but I am now a sole dog parent to two amazing, working breed (retired) senior dogs. I have learned so much over the years about responsible and safe care for dogs across the spectrum of ages, breeds and size. I am a business owner and a full-time pet parent, I generally have most availability throughout the week and work on the weekends. My fur children take their regular walks in the early evening, so I'm generally most available during the day and during the weekdays. I care for pets based on the preferences expressed by the client. All foundational care with a pet will always be with care, safety and treats.
About: I've owned dogs for most of my life and have helped care for and play with many different sized dogs with different personalities. I love helping my family, friends, and neighbors take care of their pets and especially playing and hanging out with them. I am a part-time college student, so I'm mostly busy during Mondays and Wednesdays and occasionally Thursdays. However, I am completely free during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard along with dogs and cats who get along with other dogs. There is plenty space for dogs to run around and play.
“Thank you Laura!!! Always takes the best care of my sweet boy!! Gunner was still looking for her even after we got home. She is so good he sulks for several days because she is no longer here but he is actually happy we are home. Recommend her highly!!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since the day I was born. Over the years I’ve cared for 12 dogs, 12 cats, birds, fish, and a bearded dragon through every stage of life, from newborn litters to senior pets. I’ve assisted with caring for pregnant dogs and cats, newborn puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals recovering from illness or injury. I’ve given oral medications when needed, monitored pets closely, and provided patient, around the clock care while following veterinary guidance. One of my beloved companions lived to 22 years old, and another to 15, so I understand the extra patience and gentle attention senior pets deserve. While I’m not a veterinarian or professional trainer, I’m observant, calm, dependable, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I know the importance of recognizing when something isn’t right and seeking veterinary care promptly. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My own pets are part of my daily routine, so feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, cleaning, and making sure everyone is happy and healthy are second nature to me. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what helps each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as normal and pleasant as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (when agreed upon), and any special routines that help them feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean, safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We enjoyed meeting Caleb and Sara when they came to get to know our Aussie Flint! Flint was cared for very well. We were informed while we were gone on how Flint was doing with text, photos and videos. Thank you Caleb and Sara for taking such good care of our Flinty Boy. We appreciate it and will have you watch him again! Thank you, we were able to enjoy going to our grandsons football game and have dinner with family knowing Flint was being taken care of!”
About: My wife and I have had a dogs our entire life :) We love pets, and just like anyone else who is a dog lover, we can handle any pup! We love to go on walks and exercise, so if you have an active pup, we are the ones for the job! We both work remote so we can make sure your dog is never alone! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time, giving us the flexibility to provide constant attention and care. Our days are structured around giving dogs plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, ensuring they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. We live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with a private home that provides a secure and peaceful environment for your dog. We take pride in being a responsible and reliable caregiver, ensuring your pup is well cared for and protected at all times.
About: I have taken care on many pets from family and friends. They all have relied on me to make sure their pets feel loved and safe and I have done the job perfectly I am currently working part-time and I have plenty of time to have fun and take care of your fur babies and make sure they feel loved I have a fenced yard that my little dogs aren’t able to sneak away. They are also trained to go to their room when needed. I am able to crate your dogs if needed
About: Of all animals I have the most experience with dogs. I love dogs all shapes and sizes We've always had a dog at home and I have lots of experience, caring for playing with and walking dogs, including bath time. I'm a recent graduate of heritage high school. I took agriculture at school and worked with the animals on our school farm I'm looking to do rover as often as possible. I don't have any other obligations at this time. So I can dedicate myself to your pets. I am very careful about fences and doors. I'm mindful of owner instructions regarding where their pets can be. And where they are not allowed. I am mindful of them while they are eaten. And while they are playing, to make sure that they remain safe. I checked the pavement before I take a dog out on walks to make sure it's not too hot and always make sure to wash their bowls so that I can help prevent bacteria
“I cannot say enough good things about Sandra. My family and I recently traveled out of the country for 2 weeks and were very nervous to leave our three dogs, one of which is elderly and requires 24/7 attention and care. Sandra went ABOVE and BEYOND to put our anxieties to rest, including daily pictures and updates of our happy pups while we were gone. Her veterinary expertise was outstanding with our elderly girl, administering daily meds and insulin injections. We are so grateful for all of her assistance and will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets & have grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve had a few puppies on my own and raised them since they were little. I love them so much and am excited to meet and care for your babies ♥️ I work from home so in the evening I take leia my dog for a walk but try to take her in the morning when I have time for that as well. Fed everyday on a schedule and our routine is to end the night with a treat for her doing great. Fenced yard and access to inside easily to stay cool. I try my best to always be mindful of my pets needs and set them up for success when we’re gone for more than a few hours.

Marissa did a wonderful job taking care of my four furballs while I was away for 5 days. I felt at ease knowing they were with a responsible and reliable person who would take care of all their needs. I came home to an immaculate house and most importantly, happy pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Elsinore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Elsinore on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,190 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Elsinore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Elsinore walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Elsinore maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Elsinore choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
