“Kairo is awesome!! We have a lot of anxiety leaving our dogs, especially since we work remote and they’re used to having us home all the time. She gave us multiple daily updates and sent pictures. Our babies were well taken care of!”
“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”
“Ako did a wonderful job looking after our Scottie and our house while we were gone for a week. She was extremely diligent in addressing any peculiarities concomitant with housesitting and the nature of our dog, and she communicated on a daily basis with highlights of the day. We would highly recommend her!”
“Marisa stayed with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. She sent many pictures and videos along with updates throughout. It’s always nice to feel like your dogs are being loved and cared for while away and I definitely felt that way with Marisa. One of the best sitters we’ve had on Rover. Would definitely book again.”
“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!”
“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding care Amanda provided to our two dogs, Sammy and Sully. From the moment we met, it was clear that they were in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure that both dogs felt comfortable, happy, and loved while we were away. Daily updates, photos, and thoughtful communication gave us complete peace of mind. Sammy and Sully were clearly well taken care of and were so calm and content when we returned. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pets and will treat them like their own, look no further. Highly recommend!”
“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”
“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!”
“Alivia was great with my dog TJ! Her communication was excellent and she sent pictures and video. They had a great time. This gave me such great peace of mind. She cared for my TJ like he was her own fur baby.”
“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.”
“Kaelyn was an absolute professional. Took an 8 day trip to the east coast and I was anxiety ridden about dog care. Kaelyn came in clutch. She eased my anxiety and the dogs fell in love with her. She was prompt and diligent. Not only were the dogs taken very well care of, she even took out the trash on trash day. I can’t rave enough about her and we will definitely rebooked Kaelyn in the future.”
“Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.”
“Sharing watched ate two dogs and two cats. All were very happy when we returned from a 1 week trip to Hawai. House was in great shape. Communications were excellent. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏”
“Meghan was an amazing sitter from the get-go! She was thorough in her questions about how to care for our energetic wire fox terrier, Caspar. She also provided excellent updates and photos while we were away. Meghan went above and beyond, taking our dog to the park, looking after him when he was ill, and provided him with plenty of attention - which demonstrates the highest level of care and commitment! Meghan's the best and we highly recommend her services. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and I know our terrier would love that too! Thank you so much Meghan! ❤️”

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!
Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty and home while we were gone for a week. She gave our kitty all the love and care he needed and more, and took equally good care of our home. She was very communicative and responsive, and sent updates and photos while we were away. We came back to a very happy cat and very clean home. We look forward to having her back in the future, and highly recommend her for any of your cat/dog/house sitting needs.
Michael stayed over at our house for 7 nights, taking care of our 2 Boston Terriers. We've never had anyone watch them this long! Michael made sure to send photos and give us updates. Sounds like they behaved! Will definitely ask him to care for them again when needed. Thanks Michael!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,732 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
- 96% 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.
