“Rachelle did a great job with our senior cat (14+). She was accommodating, flexible and communicative throughout the process and worked with us at every stage over 4 days. Highly recommended.”
“Amanda is such a great sitter she has dropped in for our four kitties for the last few years and recently started dropping in for our pups they adore her. We are very happy to have met Amanda. We will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Denise did a wonderful job caring for our kitty, Buster, with drop in visits over 3 days. Denise managed to get Buster to drink his water. Denise even cleaned up a little "fur-ball" accident. Buster seemed very happy. I will definitely use Denise again!”
“Shannon was awesome with my dogs, even my younger one who is a bit wary of strangers. I got updates and pictures at the end of her visit as well. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Thank you Anthony for always being so available and prompt with your response to our requests. But most importantly, Anthony is a reliable and caring furbaby friend! He sends us pictures that makes us feel so comfortable that our babies are loved on. They enjoy your visits and we feel confident that they are safe in your hands.”
“Stacia was great with the initial meeting of my pups! She is gentle with them and is very loving. I’m confident that she will be a great sitter for us in the future. I’m looking forward to her caring for my babies.”
“This was Rachel’s first week dropping in and taking care of my 3 1/2 month old puppy and she takes great care of her and my puppy always looks very happy and calm during her visits. Rachel is also very knowledgeable about dogs which allows her to better understand their needs without any prompting”
About: I've been caring for pets professionally for the last 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, rodents of all kinds, and even invertebrates! I have professional training experience, so my personal specialty is caring for dogs who need an experienced handler. Puppies who are still potty training, shy & anxious dogs, overexcited greeters, separation anxiety, and even walking large dogs who pull, lunge, and bark are all a normal part of my everyday job. I also have hands-on experience administering medications and caring for senior pets or younger pets with special needs. I have a small stroller available for use on walks that is sanitized between pets. This can be a great option for puppies who haven't finished all their shots yet, older dogs who can't walk as well anymore, or even cats who just want to get out and smell the neighborhood! I'm working part-time, so my availability will be scheduled around my regular job. I'm more open on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays and usually have extra availability around holidays. I may be able to take bookings on short notice depending on the time - feel free to request me and I'll accommodate you if I can! Safety is always my number one priority. Properly securing entrances and exits, making sure leashes and other equipment are well-fitted and functioning correctly, and following any medical or behavioral notes are an important part of my job. My previous jobs have given me hands-on experience with spotting and handling emergency medical issues, so I am always prepared just in case. I know you want to make sure your pet is safe, happy and comfortable while you are away, so I also pay special attention to your pet's emotional health and do everything I can to minimize stress and anxiety. As a trainer, I understand the importance of maintaining the rules and boundaries you've worked so hard to set with your dogs, so I'm committed to following your current training plan while they are with me.
“Gracie was wonderful with our puppy and did an amazing job with drop-in care. She was always reliable, kept us updated, and clearly cared a lot about our pup. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Pricilla took amazing care of our grumpy senior dog! He is very selective about who he likes and he started to greet her with a wagging tail each time :) Priscilla went above and beyond to take care of both our house and pet and gave very detailed updates. Highly recommend her services!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15yrs old I’m known for being an animal lover which why it makes pet owners feel comfortable leaving furry babies with me. Pets can sense if someone likes them or not, your pup is guaranteed to feel comfortable and loved by me :) cats are welcome must be friendly with other cats, Larger dogs will be considered. I work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Summer is here and I have doggy pools in the yard to keep your babies cool during play time. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space, Cats will be kept upstairs and dogs downstairs. It’s summer so all let’s will be kept cool! All pets will receive lots of love and attention. For Kitty’s I have a big cat tree, cat toys, two litter boxes for their needs and lots of love :)
“This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.”
About: Since I was born, I’ve owned dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, and even taught them to speak to me! I come from a long line of animal lovers. I currently work remotely from home. My 22 year-old daughter lives with me at home 24/7 and is an animal whisperer. The dogs will always have walks and there is a park nearby. I have a fenced yard with chickens in a coop. I have three indoor loving cats, that think they are dogs and play fetch, who loved their bellies rubbed. I have a crate if your dog needs special care. I also have no problem, keeping the cats in a closed room away from any dogs with any special concerns.
“It has been such a relief having Alex nearby to check in on our pup! She comes by to let her out while we’re at work, plays with her and gives her lots of love. She is also very communicative and consistently sends photos with her check-ins. Thank you, Alex!”
“If I could give Lucinda 100 stars I would! She is competent, caring, kind and best of all, my furgirl ADORED her! She kept us up-to-date with Daphne on a visit by visit basis and we even got pictures! Definitely put our mind at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was getting fantastic care! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
About: I have always loved learning about animals, especially since raising and training my own dogs, and I intend on loving your pet as my own. I only moved to California a year ago and haven't been able to find a job so my availability is very open in the summer. I promise to attend to your pet's needs to the best of my ability and make sure they their tail is wagging before I leave.
“Thank you Kairo for taking care of Lily and sending pictures of the visit. Obviously your visit was her highlight of the day. Looking forward to booking you again when I have to go out of town.”

Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!
I seriously cannot recommend Allison enough! She watched my two cats while we were away, and as a cat mom with very skittish cats, I was honestly nervous leaving them. My girl cat also needed medicine during the stay, and Allison handled everything so perfectly and carefully. What meant the most to me was that BOTH of my cats actually came up to her both days she watched them! which literally never happens with new people. It was such a huge relief and says everything about how calm, patient, and kind she is with animals. She was also incredibly flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely caring the entire time. I felt so reassured knowing my cats were comfortable with her and being so well taken care of. I would absolutely trust Allison to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, sweet, and amazing with pets🤍

Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats for 8 days. They both are shy and do not come out for strangers. She came twice a day to check on them made sure they had fresh food and water. Cleaned the litter box and updated me on any odd behavior. I will definitely hire her again on my next time away from home.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Murrieta on Rover is $21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
