“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”
“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.”
“We were so anxious about leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time especially since she is shy but Shannon was amazing! She reassured us before our trip, during, and after. We received daily report cards and pictures of our baby which constantly put us at ease. We felt relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire trip knowing our fur baby was in good hands with Shannon. We will definitely be booking again with Shannon for our future trips!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our fur baby receives! She does an absolutely amazing job every single time, always on time, incredibly flexible, and truly professional. What we appreciate most are the frequent updates and photos, which keep us completely at ease and always in the loop. Her communication is outstanding, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the fur babies she watches. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your fur babies like her own, she’s the one to go to. Highly recommend!!! ☺️”
“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.”
“If you’re searching for a sitter and looking at reviews, stop looking - Caleb and Sara are the ones you’re looking for! They are thoughtful, always keeping you posted with pics and videos, they provide love and attention to your pets and your home. Clean, organized, excellent communication everything you are looking for in a sitter. My cat Boujee loves them!!!👏🏼👌🏼🙏🏻🥰”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old. Now that I am retired, I spend my time staying active and walking daily—meaning your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! I currently own an 8-year-old German Shepherd rescue whom I raised from a puppy. When she developed reactivity, I dedicated myself to training her. Because of this, I am highly skilled at spotting "triggers" early and keeping walks safe, calm, and structured. While I am new to Rover, I have a lifetime of hands-on experience. I promise to treat your fur baby with the utmost respect, love, and attentive care! Since I have retired, I stay busy walking and playing with my dog, gardening and spending time with my grandsons. Most days are pretty flexible, so scheduling time for your pet won't be a problem. I require us to do a meet and great in your home. We both want to make sure I am the right fit for the needs of your pet. Also it's a great way to know what your expectations are when I come to take care of your pet.
“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.”
“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: 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.

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 August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,639 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 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.
