“Rachelle was amazing and loved on our pups as if they were her own. She sent pictures and updates multiple times throughout the stay. Her house is very pet friendly and between her and her daughter there was a lot of love, playtime and cuddles to keep them happy. We will definitely be back for another stay!”
“We are so thankful to Savannah for taking such great care of our pups over the past two years. From drop-ins to day stays to overnights, we knew that we could count on her to make sure they were safe when we were out and about without them. We will be lucky to find a new dog sitter half as good in our new city. Thanks for everything, Savannah!”
“Tiffany was great! She was flexible, attentive and so sweet. Our dog had a great time in her home. Tiffany kept us updated with texts and pictures. She was amazing. I left very comfortable and at ease leaving my doggy with her. I will definitely use her services again”
“Stephanie is THE BEST. Ford is excited to staycation with her and always comes home happy and exhausted from the attention and love he gets from her. The hardest part about leaving home is Ford but knowing he is well taken care of makes having to travel at times leave. Thank you so very much for another sleep over (this was a week) and taking such great care of my boy.”
“Lola was very cared for with Sarah and Savannah. While I was away on my trip they sent me photo updates and let me know how she was doing. It was so cute to see all the fun, walks, and cuddles she was getting! It was my first time using a doggy sitter and it all went so smooth. Lola definitely missed them when I brought her back home! Haha Thank you both for caring for her while I was away!”
“Heather was a great sitter through and through. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area! I was a bit nervous at first since my dog has never been around cats before, but everything turned out fine! No issues at all! Heather takes the time to care for your pet. Happy to come back again.”
“Cassandra took great care of my two fur babies. She sent pictures, videos, and text updates. I know my dogs were comfortable in her home. Cassandra was warm, welcoming, and good at communicating! She did everything to keep our fur babies comfortable. We are forever grateful and highly recommend you book with her!!”
“Absolutely phenomenal experience with Barbara 💕 I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper. Barbara treated him like one of her own, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy he was. She sent daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Cooper made himself right at home, cuddling up in Barbara’s bed, lounging on the furniture, and enjoying his time with his new buddy, Enzo! He ate well, slept soundly, played happily, took daily walk’s and was clearly loved and spoiled throughout his stay. It means so much to find someone who genuinely loves and cares for your dog as if he were her own. I would absolutely trust Barbara with Cooper again and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾🐕”
“Thanks Lynda for taking such good care of our fur baby. We missed her very much but it was a relief to know she was in good hands. Thanks for all the pictures and updates showing how much fun she was having. Our next vacation Akane would like to vacation with you again! 🐾💕”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs, giving them love, attention, and comfort while we were away. It was clear she treated our dogs like family, and we always felt at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Truly dependable, thoughtful, and amazing! We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us.”
“Finding someone you truly trust with your pets is so important, and she exceeded all expectations. She watched my two dogs while I was vacationing for two weeks, showed incredible patience with them, and kept me updated the whole time. My dogs came home happy and well cared for. Five stars all around!!”
About: I've spent a lifetime caring for animals, and one of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a large dog who was on the red list and needed significant training, structure, and consistency. With patience, dedication, and plenty of work, he became a well-mannered companion and ultimately found his forever home. Seeing him thrive reminded me that even dogs with challenging behaviors deserve someone willing to see their potential. As a dog caregiver, I believe in meeting each pup where they are. Whether your dog is an energetic adventurer, a professional sniff-everything-on-the-sidewalk inspector, a nervous soul who needs a little reassurance, or a champion couch potato, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I'm happy to give them the patience and attention they deserve. I was also a proud dog mom for 16 years, so I know that your pup isn't just a dog, they're family. You can expect dependable care, plenty of affection, and thoughtful updates while you're away. Thank you 🐾 Being home throughout the day gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate pets' routines, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe and loved while you're away. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality! Dogs can enjoy my fenced yard, nearby walking trails, parks, and green spaces, with dog park visits available upon request. I provide a cozy pet bed and blanket, crates for crate-trained dogs, and plenty of treats and enrichment activities like puzzle games and frozen treats. Pool access is only under my direct supervision. Cats can enjoy their own private room if preferred, along with playtime and affection at their comfort level. My goal is to keep every pet safe, happy, stimulated, and loved while you're away!
“John was very polite upon meeting and seemed to do a fantastic job at taking care of my dog Henny. Very responsive and sent me photos daily. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you John!”
“Demi was amazing. She made our pup’s stay so special with plenty of activities and time with friends. She sent us lots of pics and videos throughout the day. Will definitely be sending our pup to stay with her again. ❤️”

Rachelle was amazing with my dogs! Consistently updated, helped my nervous anxious dog to be in new surroundings, and did consistent walks with the dogs! She was very sweet, easy to talk with, and reasonable. The dogs loved her and did well with the other dogs being boarded. I would definitely recommend her and would board with her again
Morgan and Jack watched Auggie for 17 days. They are amazing! Sent us daily updates and I could tell Auggie was happy with them. I don’t trust many people with Auggie as he is our baby and a bit special (spoiled). He’s not the smartest dog 😂 and has his quirks which is typical for bulldogs. We highly recommend them if your looking for someone to take care of your fur baby 🐶
We had such a great experience! They were able to take our booking last minute, which we really appreciated, and they took such great care of our boy Kingston. Communication was great, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely recommend them and will absolutely use them again in the future! 🐶💙
I rescued a 2 year old Pit Bull from the Los Angeles Animal Services (laanimalservices.com) and brought him home to meet my older dog (pit bull). Unfortunately my older dog did not appreciate the new addition and I had to immediately separate them that same day. Graciously Sarah & Savannah were able to board him overnight so I could deal with the situation the next day. They took in "Tank" and took exceptional care of him that night. They even went so far as to give their professional opinion on what Tank needed and addressed his personality as well. Their observations helped a great deal and I appreciated everything they mentioned. If I'm ever in need of their services again I would definitely reach out to them again. They treated Tank as if he was one of their own. They understood his situation and adjusted accordingly. Sarah and Savannah are extremely friendly and professional. They gave me the feeling that Tank would be safe in their care and I wouldn't have to worry. I received photos and videos of Tank while he was with them to assure me of his status. Sarah and Savannah are highly recommended.
If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your pet like they’re part of the family, I cannot recommend Nora enough! She cared for our dog, Shadow, for two weeks while we were in the middle of our cross-country move and unable to have him with us. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond. She sent us frequent photos and videos, kept us updated on how he was doing, and it was obvious how genuinely much she and her family loved him. Her kids welcomed Shadow into their family, played with him, and made him feel completely at home. Knowing he was so loved gave us incredible peace of mind during such a stressful season. Nora even helped prepare Shadow for his cross-country flight and took him to the vet for his required pre-flight health check—something she absolutely didn’t have to do. Her kindness, warmth, and willingness to help in every way meant the world to us. If you’re considering Nora as a pet sitter, don’t hesitate. She is trustworthy, compassionate, dependable, and truly treats your pet as her own. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she gave Shadow and would recommend her without hesitation!
Best experience! I was leaving my dog with Amber for 12 days- kind of a long first boarding ! My dog had the best time- walks, fetch with her favorite toys, a playmate, a bath. Photos sent daily. Hobie bonded with Amber right away (tiniest bit of jealousy)💜 I will use Amber again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hamilton was comfortable from the moment we dropped him off, which says a lot — you can always tell when your dog feels safe with someone. It was obvious they really enjoyed having him and gave him plenty of love and attention. We’ll definitely be booking again!
This was our first time using Rover and we were a little bit hesitant but after meeting Heidi we were super confident about her ability to love and care for our 2 pups! Our first impression proved to be true. She watched our dogs for 11 days while we were in Hawaii. She was accommodating in every way including storing and feeding our dogs the food we made them. She sent pictures of the girls daily and even took them to the dog park! When we got home our girls looked healthy and happy! We will definitely recommend and use Heidi for our future dog sitting needs!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Murrieta can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Murrieta home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Murrieta.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murrieta. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Murrieta sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
