“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.”
“Jasmine is AMAZING! Our dogs all loved her immediately. She’s very sweet & kind, a great communicator, super conscientious and thoughtful, and very professional. I’m a former animal shelter manager and have special needs dogs, so I am extremely picky about my dogs’ care-- we had struggled to find a sitter we liked after moving to CA and had a nightmare experience with the last person we used (not from Rover!), so I was really stressed about leaving our dogs with a sitter again. A mutual friend recommended Jasmine, and I’m so glad! She did a great job of giving me peace of mind after our negative experience with the previous sitter: Jasmine sent lots of updates & photos, kept me informed about her schedule each day so I knew how long our dog was going to be alone, devoted her entire day off from work to hanging out with our pup, and left the house in pristine condition (I swear, it’s cleaner than when we left)! We are extremely thankful for the excellent care Jasmine gave our dog, and absolutely plan to use her again the next time we leave town!”
“Melia took care of our pup while I was in town visiting my parents. She was kind, respectful, and very good with our dog, Hazel. She sent us updates and photos as well! 10/10 would recommend. She was very helpful and kind.”
“Amanda is the best dog sitter one can imagine. My wife and I took an 11 day trip to Europe at the end of April through the beginning of May. We were fortunate enough to book Amanda to take care of our precious little ones during that long stint away from them. We had used her last summer for a weekend and she did a wonderful job having communicated with us sent via plenty of text, pics and videos. We knew we had to hire again but of course we were super nervous about being so distant from our babies for so many days however once again, Amanda exceeded our expectations by soothing our hearts with so many updates. We received several text with pics and videos per day and got to see what our little ones were up to. Relief and comfort with the knowledge that they were in safe, caring, and responsible hand allowed us to enjoy our time away from home. Once we returned, it was obvious our little ones truly missed her, especially our youngest one, Remi. We highly recommend using Amannda and would book her again should the need present itself in the future. She did an amazing job!!! THANK YOU AMANDA!!!!!!”
About: I have always had a passion for animals ever since I was a kid. I love being able to care for animals and make sure they feel safe. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels secure in my presence. I currently have a part time job at the Palmdale animal shelter, but my schedule is completely free. As of this time, I currently have no conflicts. I live in a safe environment. I live in a one story house that’s fenced and has a backyard. It’s a safe place for your pets to enjoy themselves.
“I am truly thankful to Sophia for sitting BlueLu. My girl can be a lot, but Sophia made me feel comfortable that she could handle her. Sophia was extremely flexible when I had to adjust my scheduled needs, and very communicative before the job as well as during. Hopefully she will be available for us in the future. I highly recommend booking Sophia to care for your pet needs!”
“Anthony was the best! He was incredibly communicative and responsive both before the stay and during. He took great care of our pups and sent photo updates regularly. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Megan is amazing! She took wonderful care of Sasha and left the sweetest report card. She is incredibly thoughtful, detailed with routines, and a total professional. Will definitely be booking her again‘”

“Erick is very responsive and made me feel at ease when leaving my pup at home during a trip. I’m positive my dog had a wonderful time playing with him! I’ll definitely be booking again with Erick.”
“First time leaving our two pups with Caleb and Sara, they kept us updated all the time, either even when I was anxious about my anxiety, anxiety dog. But even she warmed up in the end. Got lots of pictures which put my mind at is. They not only cared for my pups, but they left my home clean and tidy. Definitely booking with them again.”

“Dorris was so sweet to our little Luna. Communicated frequently about any change in situation and was very respectful of our home. Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“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 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!
Amanda is awesome and extremely reliable with our pets! We always choose her for drop-ins for pur dog and cat. Recently, we booked 10days for in house pet sitting for an international trip. The pets loved her and she did such a great job taking care of them and giving them company, care, and pet snuggles in pur absence. Highly reccomend booking her for your pet's care!
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!
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.

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.
