“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: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family that raised Yorkies and German Shepherds, and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve also trained my own Rottweiler and have years of experience around horses as an equestrian mom. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. My goal is to provide a safe, loving and attentive environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I especially enjoy caring for small dogs and am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care. I specialize in private home boarding for one family at a time, which means your dog is not mixed with multiple unfamiliar dogs during their stay. This allows for a calm environment, focused supervision, and a comfortable experience where pets can relax and feel secure. There are no small children in the home and no smoking. There is a small fenced patio with no ability to escape. Downstairs is all wood floors (potty-proof and puppy friendly) 😊💜. For safety and comfort, I typically host only one household’s dogs at a time.
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’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 6:30 PM, plus full service availability on Saturdays and Sundays. 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.
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murrieta
Rachelle was so so fantastic with our baby! It was our first time using rover and she sent constant updates with pictures! We felt so comfortable being away from our puppy knowing she was taking care of him. Will definitely use her again when we’re back in 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🤍
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.
Nikki is absolutely phenomenal!! Being military she was so flexible with my schedule. She also was amazing with my pups buddy and roxy. She went above and beyond making sure they were well taken care of! And immediately notified me of something wasnt okay. I will continue always to use Nikki when ever I use rover in the future. Shes dependable, reliable and just so sweet and positive with the pups.
Aridelsey was fantastic! She was polite, respectful, and extremely communicative throughout the entire booking. She arrived right on time for both visits, and when we met her, she was friendly, warm, and very personable. She cared for our Rizzo girl as if she were her own, and she sent plenty of photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend booking with her!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Murrieta stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murrieta. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
