Cat Sitting Temecula Ranchos

About: I have pets for over 20 years; from puppies and kittens all the way to their senior years. With the majority of my babies being rescues, I have the pleasure of experiencing their early days all the way to their golden years as they prepared to cross the rainbow bridge. This has provided me a ton of experience to provide a wide range of range of care from when they are little and requiring lots of attention through teething and basic skills, all the way to the special care that older pets need such as assistance walking, medication and potty troubles. Currently, our pack includes one growing girl, a two year old mixed breed dog who gets along splendiferously with 3 dignified cats and 1 who begrudgingly tolerates her. In my years of pet sitting, I have worked with dogs and cats of various ages and breeds. I have always respected every owner's parenting style and decisions. I also respect the boundaries of the owner's home as I would hope someone would of mine. I am free most days, including weekends. I'm comfortable with several short visits throughout the day or long visits just to keep your babies company! Safety and the physical and mental health of your friend(s) are my first priority. From my experience as a foster, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs and I’ve learned to identify and address those needs. I regularly do full body inspections on my own pets and will do the same for yours to ensure they are safe and happy when you return!

“Lynda took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Lynda!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to care for their pets in any way necessary! I have also fostered several dogs and cats. I’m currently taking college courses online and working on the weekends so I am almost always home on weekdays and would love to spend my time caring for animals. I love the outdoors and walking around as much as dogs do. I’m also very clean and will happily stay in my clients home to care for their pets!

“She will be my first choice from now on. My cat was sleeping on my bed when I returned, totally at ease. To me that meant that he was taken good care during my access and Karis made it so.”

“Melissa went above and beyond what was asked and made sure all the animals were taken care of. We will definitely be booking with her again as she has our full trust.”

About: Hi, I’m Megan! I bring more than 10 years of professional animal care experience from animal shelters, dog daycare and boarding, and working as a zookeeper. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, pets needing medication, and those who need extra patience to feel comfortable. My experience has taught me to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, and follow detailed care routines. Whether your pet loves an adventure or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll take the time to learn what helps them feel safe and happy. As a pet parent to my dog, Blueberry, I understand how much trust goes into choosing a sitter. You can expect thoughtful care, respect for your home, and photos and a personal update after every visit. I plan my bookings carefully so each pet gets dedicated time and attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and will confirm visit times with you before booking to make sure I can meet your pet’s needs. Before our first booking, I’d love to meet you and your pet, learn their routine, and go over any questions or special instructions. Your pet’s comfort and safety guide every visit. I follow your care instructions closely, check collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure doors and gates are secure. On walks, I pay attention to your dog’s body language and give unfamiliar animals and people space. Shy or cautious pets get time to warm up at their own pace. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and learn all the little quirks that make your pet who they are. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and your home is secure.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾

“Anthony is a very confident pet setter my cat loved him and he was well taken care of . Anthony was sending me pics of my cat on a daily bases . Which made me very content. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.”

“We booked Katie for a drop in visit as a practice run before she house sits for us and she did a great job with our pups! Will absolutely be booking her for additional stays. Thanks, Katie!”

Zayne M.

“Sally was wonderful. She took good care of our girl, Annabelle, and kept us well informed, sending pictures from every visit. Best of all, she was helped out by her young son, Sebastian (a.k.a. Bash), who seems to have fallen in love with Annabelle. We highly recommend Sally and Bash!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have always loved animals and work this them all the time. I also work for a friend who does fostering for cats. I also have the wag! App and use it as well, you can find me on there and book a service through there too. I’m currently a full time student at MSJC but have a few days off so I am willing to pick up some work on the days I have free and work with furry friends. I have a fenced off yard with 2 friendly dogs, I have a pool in the backyard that is regularly cleaned (not very deep and easy to get out of for most dogs) I have chickens but they are in a cage so no contact can be made. I do have neighbors with dogs but the fence is secure and no one can touch each other. In addition I have 5 cats who all love dogs (might be scared but not mean).

“Marilyn did such a great job caring for our 3 cats while we had to attend a family funeral :( It was our first time using a pet sitter, but it was such a great experience! We looked forward to our daily check ins and we will definitely be using Marilyn again for any future trips! Thank you!”

“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”

About: I’m an animal lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you consider family! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your farm animals need feeding and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! My schedule is very flexible! I recently got my real estate license and currently work very part-time through a staffing agency when they need someone in the sales gallery. I’m able to choose which days I work, so I can easily work around pet and house-sitting schedules. I’m also up pretty early every morning and take my own dog to the park or on a long walk for at least an hour, so I’m very used to having an active morning routine with dogs. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles throughout the day, along with another walk or outing in the evening. I can be flexible depending on what your pets are used to and need! I want you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always treat them like I would my own. I’m clean, responsible, and mindful about keeping doors, gates, and anything else secure, especially with animals that may be nervous or prone to getting out. I also understand that every animal is different, especially rescues, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine, boundaries, or special instructions you have. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“We’ve booked Derek twice now. Our cats trust him, he does a great job, and we will absolutely be booking him again. Highly recommended!”

Melinda T.

“Daphne did a wonderful job. She took great care of our pets. Her communication was excellent, including sending regular photos. I never had to wonder what was going on, or if she had seen a message. She always replied very promptly. She left the house in perfect condition. She was great to deal with in every way. I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

Hudi P.

“Lindsey was amazing! Very communicative and sent photos and videos while I was away. Would definitely use her again A+++”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so I have over 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their body language, recognize when they’re feeling stressed or playful, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, giving medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In your home, I will respect your space and follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, and care. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and supervision while you’re away.

About: Currently Starting Vet Assistant school from July 2026-June 2027. Weekend availability Fri, Sat & Sun only! Thank you for your patience & understanding as I continue to grow more knowledge to add to your pets daily needs. Consider me very loving, patient and kind to your little family member and in very good hands. I've cared for and watched many friends and families' animals. I understand that every household and pet has unique needs. I believe that building trust through attentive, personalized care is the key to ensuring both pets and owners feel at ease. As a naturally patient and dedicated caregiver, I have successfully trained and house-trained my own high-energy puppy, which has strengthened my ability to handle pets of all temperaments. Animals are highly intuitive and respond to calm, positive energy—something I bring into every interaction.
