About: I’ve grown up around dogs & cats my entire life and there is no job I would rather do than hangout with them all day. I pride myself on being attentive to the pets I watch as well as being communicative with the owners. I am currently home from college for the summer so I have nothing but free time. Feel free to turn to me for last minute bookings due to my wide open schedule. I love going on walks as a way to get both your pet’s exercise as well as mine. But most importantly I provide attention, safety, and comfortability for pets.

About: I worked at a pet store for 7 years and was a certified dog trainer for 4 so I am happy to work with your dog on some commands or potty training if needed! I’m a full time remote worker so I have open availability! My work does not keep me glued to the desk so I’m able to let pets out or give snuggles anytime! My workday finishes around 1-2pm so afternoon walks and naps are always an option! I don’t care for pets in my own home but will always promise to keep them safe and will not hesitate to message with any questions I have. As a former dog trainer, I have extensive knowledge on harnesses so I know how to make sure they don’t slip out during a walk!

Ashlin took good care of our cat while we went on vacation. We received pictures every visit and felt confident she was in good hands. She was thorough with good questions during the meet and greet. We will be using her services in the future.

About: I have personally cared for dogs for over 30 years. We are a family of five who enjoyed having two dogs in our home for over five years. Due to a recent relocation, we had to rehome them. Our kids truly miss having dogs and would love to care for yours with walks, playtime, affection, and plenty of rest, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while in our care. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily and weekly routine. I work from home three days a week, and my wife, Shannon, is home full time as a stay at home mom. Our kids are home from school in the afternoons, so there is almost always someone present to give attention, supervision, and care. We are all available throughout the weekends, which allows for plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. We are very careful, detail oriented, and affectionate in how we care for pets, whether in our home or a client’s home. We follow routines closely, pay attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level, and prioritize safety at all times. We know what it feels like to trust our own dogs to others through Rover, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is for every dog in our care to feel safe, loved, well exercised, and able to rest comfortably.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my world. I’ve raised my own dogs from 8 weeks old, giving me lots of experience with training, routines, and all the puppy stages. I also spent years house-sitting and pet-sitting, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which allows me plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m consistent with feeding, potty breaks, and attention, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while maintaining a steady routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I can provide reliable, loving attention that fits perfectly into your pet’s schedule. I provide loving, attentive care for pets right in the comfort of their own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure your home stays safe, clean, and secure while you’re away, giving you peace of mind. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines.

Our dog Lucy doesn't love strangers, and we weren't sure how things would go. Kayla was very willing to come meet Lucy twice, prior to our trip, and to work with us to make things as comfortable as possible for her. Kayla respected Lucy's boundaries and didn't push her. We're very thankful to Kayla for her willingness to check in on and look out for Lucy so that she could stay in her home, and we could travel to Mexico. This wasn't an easy assignment, and Kayla did a great job!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I have walked dogs of all sizes and breeds, including both trained and untrained dogs. I am comfortable caring for pets with special needs and have experience giving medications to sick pets. As a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, medication, or extra care, I am dedicated to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently waiting for college enrollment. As I prepare for college, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their regular routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, companionship, and lots of attention. I can also administer medications if needed and make sure the home stays clean and tidy. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and care. I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, stick to their feeding schedule, and get the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I am new to Rover.com; however, there have been animals around me for most of my life; from rabbits to horses and ducks to dogs. Currently, we have a quirky, dapper, gentleman dog; and beautiful, liberated, lady cat. They have a great, lovingly antagonistic sibling relationship. Our dog has epilepsy and mild separation anxiety that requires extra gentle support at times. Our cat has an independent space that doesn't affect my dander allergy. I am able to provide drop in care for cat(s) to service food, water and litter. I enjoy discovering each personality and developing a rapport.

I am respectful, detail oriented and have several years of experience with pets and household.

About: I am someone you can trust to take good care of your pet. I can provide walks, grooming, play time, and cuddles. I have experience with disabled dogs and cats by providing medication, patients, and lots of love. I myself have adopted two cats, one is disabled, and a dog. I have always loved animals and volunteered in various shelters. I have cared for my friends and family’s pets and they recommend me to their friends. I can accommodate to any needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and taken care of. I live in a beautiful home with a big backyard. I can meet with you before hand to make sure I am a good fit for your pet. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. Thank you! I work virtually two days out of the week and three days in the office. If I’m virtual I am available anytime and have more flexibility. On the weekend, I am available all day. If I have a pet at my place my husband would be home at noon everyday and he helps me care for the dogs until I get home. We both are huge animal lovers and want our home to be a safe place. We prefer to take one client at a time (2 to 3 dogs max). We are not a kennel facility or house multiple dogs at the same time. We feel this can create a stressful environment for some dogs that we prefer to keep it small so we can be attentive to each fur dog and provide a relaxing environment. We allow dogs to roam the house and lay where they please. I live in a house with a huge backyard. I have a dog and two cats but can keep them separate if needed. I have two spare bedrooms to house dogs if need a space to relax and sleep. I do not have kids and I live with my husband. I will provide updates and picture to ensure you know how your pet is doing.

About: Although we are new dog parents, we recently dog sat two dachshunds and it went great! We love dogs and would like to continue helping fellow dog parents. My husband and I currently both work from home. I work the night shift and he works during the day so there is usually someone always awake with the dogs. We have a fenced backyard, not too big but they can still run in it. My dogs love to play with other dogs and are friendly! We also have two crates if they need to be crated. We would love to do a Meet & Greet prior to committing if that would make you feel more comfortable.

About: As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. My household includes two small dogs and a friendly cat, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, supporting pets with sensitive diets, and reinforcing established routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply companionship, my goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking services for both dogs and cats. For boarding, I welcome small dogs (under 20lbs) to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my home. Because I work from home, boarding pets receive frequent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. We also live near a park, providing a great setting for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My cat is exceptionally friendly and social, and my two dogs are accustomed to living peacefully with cats and respecting their space. I carefully supervise introductions and always prioritize the comfort and safety of every pet in my care. To provide the highest level of personalized attention, I accept only one client household at a time across all services. Whether your pet is staying in my home or receiving visits in yours, they will receive individualized care, close supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available for up to two drop-in visits per day, and pet parents can expect regular updates and photos for added peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. Every pet is treated like family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home full time, caring for pets naturally fits into my day and is something I genuinely look forward to. I love starting the morning with a walk, taking midday breaks to check in and play, and ending the evening with a visit or stroll. Having this flexibility means I can give pets the attention and consistency they deserve while making sure they feel happy and loved throughout the day. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home by following their normal routines and keeping their environment clean and secure. I always check that doors and gates are locked, refresh food and water, scoop litter or let pups out as needed, and spend quality time giving attention, play, or cuddles based on what each pet enjoys most. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for while they’re away.

About: I've always had animals growing up. I have one dog and two cats today but have room in my heart to care for your fur babies when you need me as well. I am kind, patient, and responsive to each pet's individual needs and am punctual with potty breaks and walks. I have experience administering medicine (even to cats!). I have reliable transportation and, while I work 7:30 to 4:30 on weekdays during the school year, your dog will have my full attention before and after work and on school breaks. I will provide belly rubs, treats (as allowed), long walks, and do everything to make sure your animal is taken care of in your absence as I know how hard it is to leave them. I will provide them with the love and care that they need and deserve! I am a teacher so pet care fits in any time during school breaks such as summer or on weekends. Any extra time I have I will be sure to update my calendar. I rent a house with a giant fenced yard and a dog door if dogs want to go to and from. Or, for cats, i can close the dog door so they are indoor only. It is your preference and what your fur baby's routine is. I have a dog and two cats and they are potatoes (meaning they sleep and relax most times). I also have a 4 year old son who is gentle and has been around dogs of all sizes since birth (mini poodles to big labs).

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rancho Murieta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rancho Murieta on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of June 2026, there are 3,900 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rancho Murieta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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 Rancho Murieta 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 Rancho Murieta. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
