“First time leaving our two pups with Caleb and Sara, they kept us updated all the time, either even when I was anxious about my anxiety, anxiety dog. But even she warmed up in the end. Got lots of pictures which put my mind at is. They not only cared for my pups, but they left my home clean and tidy. Definitely booking with them again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years and have always had a passion for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and follow your instructions closely. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats, and I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while you’re away! I’m available for Drop-Ins/Dog Walking on weekday evenings after 6:00 PM, plus full service availability on Saturdays and Sundays + Holidays🏝️ I love spending quality time with pets and am happy to provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I’ll make sure your furry family members get plenty of love, exercise, and attention! I create a safe and trusted environment by treating every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize safety by staying attentive during walks, following owner instructions closely, and providing a calm, loving environment. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: Ever since I can remember our dogs and cats have always been apart of my family. From growing up, to having a family of my own, and my now adult children. I have been caring for my daughters 3 dogs and 2 cats for the last 7 years as she and her husband travel for work. Now that they are settled down and home more, I am missing a part of my life that I loved with starting pet sitting as a "job" that will be more of a passion. I am retired, so I am available for daily check ins to all day and overnight stays to keep your furbaby company while you are away. Keeping your furbaby at home is the best option to help reduce stress while you are gone and my favorite way to keep them company and maintain their normal routine in a familiar environment.

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.

Natalia was amazing. She has a great personality and clearly loves dogs. She enjoyed our dogs and took such good care of them and our house. She sent pictures daily. We arrived home from our trip late at night and she had fresh sheets and towels for us so we were able to go right to bed after a very long day. We would definitely use her services again.

Caleb & Sara spent 3 days caring for our two English bulldogs at our house. Our dogs had a blast, we received photo updates and they were thriving. Very happy to have found our forever dog sitters for our pup while traveling. I’m sure having Alfred over made it a vacation for them. 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Murrieta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Murrieta on Rover is $44.4 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 3,997 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murrieta. 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 Murrieta 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 Murrieta 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 Murrieta 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murrieta. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
