“Jasmine was fantastic. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how everyone was doing. We have multiple animals and each was very well taken care of. We will continue to use her in the future. It's very difficult to find someone you can trust with all your animals as well as caring for your home while your away. We would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone. We are extremely pleased with her level of service!”
“Thank you so much for a job well done! I really appreciate your excellent communication puppy really enjoyed you. I would highly recommend Ako. She arrived early and was very dependable.”
“Kairo treats Jasper with love and care! I get the cutest pics and updates from him throughout the day and he is always on time, responsible and leaving my house spotless. Thank you again Kairo!”

“Marisa was a great fit taking care of our Rottweiler Kali. She was very confident initially meeting her and definitely gained full trust in a very short time period. We will definitely be using Marisa in the future. Thank you again Marisa.”
“Amazing is all we can say she was very punctual from the start of the meet and greet to the dog stay she was on time. During the dog stay , she picked up on our dogs schedule routine as it’s very hot out here where we live and the dogs need to go out early in the morning and late at night. She did a great job. We are super happy with her services and we came home to a clean house Which was super impressive. We will definitely be using Brandy again. We trusted her with our babies and came home to them just the way we left them.”
“Amanda was wonderful! We have two rescues - a very needy Yorkie and a standoffish Border Collie mix. She did an excellent job with both and connected right away even with our boy who is usually slow to warm up. She kept us updated with pictures, took them on nice long walks, and we came home to happy, healthy dogs! We'll definitely book with Amanda again!”
About: 🐾 Loving Pet Care in a Safe, Comfortable Home 🏡💛 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly lights up around dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had pets my entire life—including Shar-Peis, Labs, Dachshunds, Scotties, puppies, and multi-pet households—so I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I work from home, which means your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day.

Your pet is never "just a booking" to me—they become part of the family while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for everyone involved.. I currently work part-time from home, which provides a flexible schedule and ample time to care for your pets.

I’m also happy to provide a cozy, loving environment—including plenty of cuddles and even letting your pet sleep nearby if that’s what they’re used to.
“Raquel was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Gracie and Rowdy! From the start, her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is incredibly sweet and clearly has a natural connection with animals. She bonded with both dogs right away and took the time to really understand their individual personalities and little quirks. It was obvious they felt comfortable and cared for in her presence. One of our dogs was dealing with some pretty bad allergies during her stay, and Raquel truly went above and beyond to keep him comfortable. She was attentive, thoughtful, and kept us informed every step of the way, which we appreciated so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would hire her again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend Raquel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dedicated!”
“We have found our new dog sitters! We were nervous leaving Kevin with a non-family member for the first time. Caleb and Sara completely relieved us of our nervousness with their calm demeanors, excellent communication, and pictures of our boy throughout our trip. My favorite picture was of Kevin sitting on Sara’s lap. That told me all was well. We highly recommend this animal loving team of Caleb and Sara.”
“Melia went above and beyond with our girl Parker! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! We received frequent picture updates and our dog looked so happy in every one of them! She was very attentive to detail and we could tell she was getting the best care! She looked so happy when we returned home. On top of that, our house was in beautiful shape when we got back, you couldn’t even tell someone had been staying here! I would highly recommend Melia, we will definitely be using her again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Madison was amazing and so easy to work with. She took care of my two cats and dog over the weekend, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the weekend, which was so reassuring. It really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future”
“He was perfect for our 3 month old puppy and communicated and sent me photos throughout the time my dog was with him! He’s someone i would definitely rebook with him and i recommend him!!! Thank you so much for taking good care of Dante!!”
“We felt very comfortable having Erick at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday. He was very communicative and professional and he took excellent care of our two pups. We will definitely use him again in the future!”
“This is our first time using any kind of dog sitting service. Needless to say, we were pretty anxious but the excellent communications with Nautica really puts us at ease. Our dog looks happy and healthy on our returned, house was as clean as we left it. We look forward using Nautica again for our future needs. Thanks for loving on Lexi! 🐶”
“Absolutely wonderful, took such great care of Lila and she followed up with texts and pics that always help ease the slight anxiety that we "furry family members" have as we travel..well no need, Savannah is amazing..House looked great when I returned and she even remembered to water the plants that I completely forgot about!! Thank you again Savannah and Sarah too!! I have found my permanent house/pet sitter!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temecula
Can’t say enough amazing things about Amanda! She’s done several drop in visits for our dogs the past couple years but did her first house sitting with them. The experience was awesome for us! She provided constant updates and took the best care of our doggies. We didn’t have to worry once while we were away. Definitely our go-to sitter!
Emily is wonderful! She is very detail oriented, meticulous, and clean. She took such good care of my dog, as well as our other outside critters. We came back to everyone happy and healthy, they didn’t even seem to notice we were gone. If you need a house and dog sitter, she’s an amazing choice! Thank you, Emily!
We can’t recommend Savannah highly enough! We’re repeat customers because she takes such wonderful care of our three pups, each with very different needs, our senior dog who needs extra attention, our super energetic dog, and our amputee. She treats each one with so much patience and care, and we love that they get to stay comfortable in their own home. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such capable, loving hands every time we’re away!
Martin did a great job house-sitting and caring for our puppy while we were away for 12 nights. He was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the entire stay. He showed up when needed, checked in periodically, and was attentive whenever questions came up. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy gave us a lot of peace of mind. Martin was professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We felt comfortable trusting him with both our home and our pup, and he delivered exactly what he promised. We appreciated your care, Martin, and would trust you with our puppy again!
Brandie was outstanding! Truly went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well loved and taken care of while we were away, which made us feel so much better about leaving. She was so kind, respectful, and communicative. It’s obvious that she really cares for animals and wants them to feel safe and happy while in her care. I can’t thank Brandie enough and our dogs will be so happy to see her again!
First time using Rover and was a tad worried. Our dogs are very important to us and have only been looked after by people we know. Katie had a meet and greet and the dogs loved her. We didn’t have to complicated of instructions and everything was done perfectly. You couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our house and fur babies!!!!
Absolutely stellar. Jasmine and Ian took incredible care of our home and animals while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for better humans. The house was spotless, the animals were clearly loved on and happy, and communication was rock solid the whole time. Zero stress, total trust. 11/10 amazing! We would have them back in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation.
Kalena as always was great house sitting our Scottie for an extended period. She is patient, knowledgeable and caring and understands his Scottie personality. We feel totally comfortable with having her care for our needs and feel that we are fortunate to have found her. Would highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Temecula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Temecula on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,678 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Temecula. 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 Temecula 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 Temecula 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 Temecula 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 Temecula. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
