“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Aloha & thank you for taking the time to click & read my profile! I work in healthcare & have over 6 years experience in the industry. I also have a 2 year old energetic Doberman / French Bulldog named Deuce! I am doing dog walking as means to supplement my family’s income doing something I love while I attend nursing school. I will have flexible availability over the summer & am open to long-term clients if we make a good fit together. Over the summer (June to August) I have free availability Monday-Wed, Fridays, & Sundays. Thursdays and Saturdays I work 12 hour shifts, but can arrange flexible pet care for your furry child w/ the help of my sister-in-law who has over 9 years experience caring for puppies and dogs. I have a very friendly dog named Deuce that we walk at least twice a day, 30 min each time. He is an outdoor dog that we keep downstairs and bring to the dog parks to run around & have doggy playtime.
“Shannon was awesome with my dogs, even my younger one who is a bit wary of strangers. I got updates and pictures at the end of her visit as well. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amanda is incredible. She is detailed, kind, and goes above and beyond. This was our second booking with her and she did amazing with our fur babies. We are so glad we found her!”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. Having experience pet sitting for neighbors and caring for my own senior dog, I’m especially patient and comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or more frequent potty breaks. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel their dogs are safe, comfortable, and cared for like family while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my day around caring for my own dog, so I’m used to planning for walks and giving extra attention as needed. Because of that, adding additional walks or check-ins fits in smoothly. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment on every walk. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I adjust the pace and route to fit their needs; it is especially important for senior dogs or those who may be more sensitive. I’m careful with leash handling, avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas, and stay alert to surroundings at all times.
“Pricilla took amazing care of our grumpy senior dog! He is very selective about who he likes and he started to greet her with a wagging tail each time :) Priscilla went above and beyond to take care of both our house and pet and gave very detailed updates. Highly recommend her services!!”
“Thank you Anthony for always being so available and prompt with your response to our requests. But most importantly, Anthony is a reliable and caring furbaby friend! He sends us pictures that makes us feel so comfortable that our babies are loved on. They enjoy your visits and we feel confident that they are safe in your hands.”
“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.”
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: 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.
“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.”
“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: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. From feeding and walks to playtime and attention, I’m comfortable with all aspects of pet care. Being around animals has helped me understand their different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Pacific Union College. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and have open availability on weekends for overnight care. During overnight stays, I will focus on keeping your pets’ routine as consistent as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime and bedtime. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while also keeping your home clean and secure.

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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:
- 91% 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.
