About: 🐾 Loving Pet Care in a Safe, Comfortable Home 🏡💛 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly lights up around dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had pets my entire life—including Shar-Peis, Labs, Dachshunds, Scotties, puppies, and multi-pet households—so I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I work from home, which means your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether your dog loves playtime and adventures or prefers relaxing on the couch for cuddles, I adapt to their individual needs and routine. 🏡 About My Home Your pet will enjoy a safe, loving environment with: • A large, fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play • A clean, calm home with lots of affection and attention • Access to nearby walking trails and a dog park • A safe, gated community with quiet streets for walks • No pets of my own or children, allowing me to focus completely on your pet Pets are welcome on furniture and are treated like family. If your dog enjoys snuggling on the couch or curling up nearby, they'll feel right at home. 🐾 My Experience • Lifelong dog owner and animal lover • Experienced with puppies, adults, and senior dogs • Comfortable with multi-pet households • Experienced caring for cats, birds, and reptiles (at cat parent’s home) • Familiar with administering medications and following detailed care instructions • Strong understanding of pet behavior, routines, and positive reinforcement 💛 My Care Philosophy I believe pets thrive with consistency, structure, patience, and lots of love. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite activities. I keep my bookings limited so every pet receives personalized attention, affection, and quality care. 🐕 Services Offered ✔ Dog Boarding ✔ Doggy Day Care ✔ Dog Walking ✔ Drop-In Visits ✔ House Sitting ✔ Cat Care & Drop-Ins ✔ Bird & Reptile Care 🚗 Pickup & Drop-Off Available For your convenience, I can provide pickup and drop-off service for daycare or boarding appointments for an additional fee. This is perfect for busy schedules or early departures. 📸 Extra Peace of Mind I’m happy to send photo and video updates during your pet’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet is never "just a booking" to me—they become part of the family while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for everyone involved.. I currently work part-time from home, which provides a flexible schedule and ample time to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I ensure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, gated community with plenty of walking areas. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their specific needs, whether that includes crate training, extra supervision, or special care instructions. I can take dogs to a local dog park for exercise and socialization (if approved), and I always ensure pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m also happy to provide a cozy, loving environment—including plenty of cuddles and even letting your pet sleep nearby if that’s what they’re used to.

About: I’m an animal lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you consider family! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your farm animals need feeding and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! My schedule is very flexible! I recently got my real estate license and currently work very part-time through a staffing agency when they need someone in the sales gallery. I’m able to choose which days I work, so I can easily work around pet and house-sitting schedules. I’m also up pretty early every morning and take my own dog to the park or on a long walk for at least an hour, so I’m very used to having an active morning routine with dogs. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day, along with another walk or outing in the evening. I can be flexible depending on what your pets are used to and need! I want you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always treat them like I would my own. I’m clean, responsible, and mindful about keeping doors, gates, and anything else secure, especially with animals that may be nervous or prone to getting out. I also understand that every animal is different, especially rescues, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine, boundaries, or special instructions you have. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I love all animals! Regardless of species. I currently have 8 years of experience caring for a variety of different animals. I started petsitting when I was twelve, most of my petsitting jobs and experience have been with dogs of a variety of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, as that is in the highest demand. I have had cats in my household most of my life and I'm comfortable working with birds, reptiles, rodents. etc. I also currently volunteer at an animal sanctuary where I work with horses, goats, chickens, pigs, etc. I'm currently an undergraduate student so my schedule fluctuates, but feel free to reach out and we can figure out a time that works best for you! - currently on summer break so my availability is more open :) ! All of my services are offered in client's homes. My care is dependent on the client's preferences for each individual pet, I like to alter my care to meet different needs depending on breed, energy-level, age, etc. Whether you'd like me to just keep your dog company at home, or make sure they get as much energy out as possible is up to you, I just want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away

About: So many dog walkers and sitters, how do you choose? I have been a dog trainer and handler for over 11 years. I am certified pet first aid and CPR. Through my hard work and attention to detail I've earned the trust of working with canine support teams, trainer Shawn Baxendale out of Los Angeles and two prominent rescues Wylder's and Lucky Puppy. I have your dogs well being at heart. I am highly responsible and reliable in caring for your family pet. If you like we can schedule a meet and greet so that you can get a feel for who I am and also see that your pet would be staying in a safe and clean environment. My purpose is safety, comfort and fun I work from home so I am available to play with your pups and provide any care that is needed for your beloved family pets. I have a fenced in yard with nice green grass and two pups to help me keep your doggies company. I have toys and balls to engage your pet so they get some exercise and if allowed I take them for walks. My main objective is always safety but I also make sure your pup feels comfortable and loved. I give your pet a home away from home experience. This is not a loud and crowded facility where your dogs will sit by the gate in anticipation of your return and or have to wait for a place to rest or some attention. I also do have crates available if needed.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, which gave me the experience to care for my own animals as well as pets belonging to friends and family. Through the years, I’ve helped with feeding, walking, bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m available during select mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I prefer providing care in my client’s home. I live with roommates and have my own pets, so caring for your pet in their familiar environment helps avoid stress and ensures focused, one-on-one attention. I follow instructions closely and respect your home and routines.

About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with both cats and dogs, having grown up with both animals. I understand their unique needs—whether it's the playful energy of a puppy or the special care required for a senior pet. I've handled everything from basic training to administering medications, and I always go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels loved and secure. My experience also includes caring for pets who’ve had difficult pasts, so I’m patient and understanding with pets who need a little extra TLC. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. Pet care is an essential and rewarding part of my daily routine. Between my part-time job and college schedule, I make sure to prioritize the well-being of the pets I care for. My flexible hours allow me to offer personalized attention, whether it's midday check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening playtime. I structure my day around your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive regular, loving care while I balance my responsibilities. Pet care is not just something I do it's a passion I make time for, because I believe every pet deserves the best, no matter how busy my day gets. I provide attentive, loving care for pets both in my home and yours. Growing up with cats, I’m well-versed in all aspects of pet care, from cleaning litter boxes to offering playtime and companionship. Whether in my home, where your pet will enjoy a calm, safe environment, or in your home where I maintain their routine and comfort, I ensure they feel loved and secure. I focus on keeping everything tidy, following feeding schedules, and giving plenty of attention, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, administer basic medications, and provide loving companionship. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy pups, and pets who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I truly enjoy building trust with all animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their families are away. Pet care is already a daily part of my life. I care for my own pets every day, including chickens, so I’m very comfortable with routines, feeding schedules, and responsibility. I’m currently a nursing student working toward my BSN, which means my schedule can vary. At this time, I’m most consistently available on weekends, with early mornings annd mid day during the week. I’m flexible and open to working with pet parents’ schedules whenever possible, and if a request is something I can make work, I’m always willing to make time to ensure pets receive attentive, reliable care. Pets are truly family to me, not just animals. I care for my own pets daily and understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow routines closely, keep environments clean and secure, and prioritize comfort and safety. I’m attentive to behavior, feeding schedules, and individual needs, making sure each pet feels loved, respected, and stress-free.

“Sydney was AMAZING! I had her check on my cats every day while I was away on a trip and she did a phenomenal job. She is so friendly, and so personable. It was so nice to have someone I trusted that I could rely on since my cats are my babies. She even noticed my trash cans were out and rolled them into my yard for me. I cannot recommend her enough!”

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🤍

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.

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Murrieta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Murrieta is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 of October 2026, there are 2,675 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Murrieta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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.

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 .
