“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.”
“Shannon was so great & so reliable for our 5 babies at home! I felt so bad having an early drop in call but the way our trip was planned out it was the time we needed. I was honestly surprised that even our super shy cat made an appearance for her so to me that speaks volumes! So thankful for your help Shannon!”

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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember, friends and family, I’d be happy to go on walks and make more furry friends! I’m not currently in college right now, but I am planning to go back in the future. I’m free every day from early morning till 5:45pm, and free also after 8pm if need be! I’m always happy to help! I live in a house (renting a room) with two big dogs who mainly stay outside. If a pet absolutely needs to stay over, I will do my best to accommodate, but taking care of your pet at your home is preferred!
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.
“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: I stand out as a sitter who gives patient, reliable care to every dog — from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. I’m great with routines, feeding schedules, and keeping pets calm and comfortable. As a local Murrieta sitter, I focus on nearby homes so I can provide consistent, dependable visits without rushing. Your dog gets my full attention, every time. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I stay close to Murrieta homes so I can provide consistent, unrushed visits. I plan my day around feeding schedules, walks, and check‑ins, making sure each dog gets calm, focused attention. Whether it’s puppies who need extra structure or seniors who need a slower pace, I build their care into my daily schedule so they always feel comfortable and supported. I used to have 2 dogs and I would walk them every day in the morning and night. We have a gated neighborhood with a lot of neighbors that has other pets.
About: I've lived with dogs since I was old enough to walk; I have learned how to take care of of them, and read behavior and body language to maintain pet safety. Pets boarding with me will be treated with all the care and attention I give my own, with supervised exercise and playtime. I have my own dog, so for the purpose of safety and comfort, a meet and greet will be necessary before any booking longer than a single night. I currently have an open schedule and can adjust to accommodate pet needs, be it evening breaks, intermittent feeding, or early wake up calls, all on most days of the week. Pets in my care will have a full, secure yard to run and play outside, and a clean, air conditioned, non-smoking home to relax and sleep in, and will be afforded the same attention and love I show my own pets.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Murrieta is $25

I was honestly surprised that even our super shy cat made an appearance for her so to me that speaks volumes! So thankful for your help Shannon!
Amber was great! I reached out to Amber very last minute, thankfully she was available. We needed her to go in and fix the feeder our cats had tipped over. She did just that and even cleaned up a trail of ants that were starting to form. We will definitely contact her again if we go out of town. Thank you Amber!
Aurora was wonderful! She was very attentive and sent me updates and pictures every single time she checked on my dogs, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by cleaning up after them outside and even took the time to wipe one of my dog’s eyes because they tend to get mucus buildup. I really appreciated how caring and thorough she was with them. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Aurora and would happily book with her again!
Katy was absolutely amazing! This is the first time using her, and she will definitely be my go to. She followed all the instructions to the letter. She has amazing energy, and all of my dogs loved her. She was super flexible, and even let me change the drop in times the day of…so grateful that I found her.
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.

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.

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:

- 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.
