“Ako did a great job house sitting for us. Our pets are typically shy around strangers but they were very quick to warm up to Ako, & they enjoyed her company. She gave me updates while we were away & she was also very flexible in accommodating last minute change in our schedule. I would definitely trust her to come into our home & care for our pets again, and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“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!!!!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.
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!
“Paige watched our fur babies for us while we were away, everyone seemed to behave themselves ;p Paige was also very accommodating and helpful for us with packages, time changes and just being super flexible! Would highly recommend and will be using her for future visits! (:”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
“Amanda is amazing I hate to write this review because I want to keep her all to myself! When we were skiing my dog had to have surgery and Amanda took her all the way to Encinitas 2x! To get treaters. Shes wonderful. 5-stars all the way my dogs and I love her.”
About: With 13 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by animals! 🐾 From caring for my own pets to being trusted by friends and family with their furry loved ones, I’ve gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, puppy care, litter box cleaning, and administering oral medications. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who love to play and explore, as well as laid-back pets who’d rather cuddle up and relax. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and admittedly a little obsessed with animals! I’m also a proud pet parent to a superstar kitty and a wonderful pup, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a check-in while you’re away, or some extra love and companionship, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have overnight house-sitting experience and am happy to discuss it once we’ve gotten to know each other and feel it’s a good fit. I believe pets deserve the same patience, affection, and attention they’re used to receiving at home. I’d love the opportunity to get to know yours and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care! ❤️ I currently have a pretty flexible routine and am more than happy to work around your pet’s individual needs throughout the week! Whether it’s walks, check-ins, playtime, or some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help make their days a little brighter! 🐾 I know every pet has their own little personality, preferences, and routine, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved! Whether I’m stopping by for a check-in or taking your pup on a walk, I’m happy to follow your instructions and accommodate whatever makes your furry friend feel most at home.
About: I have a German Shepard, Rottweiler, and a Cavelier King Charles Spaniel. I've owned big and small dogs my entire life and love working with different breeds. My wife passed away 5 months ago, and my dogs saved my life. Ever since then I've dedicated my life to animals. :) I am a personal trainer and nutritionist, so I have the ability to go back and forth from work. I also take my dogs on early morning and evening walks. Alot of my work is done from a computer at home so I'm always around the house. I have a big, fenced in yard. The family's animal or animals I board will have their own doggie hotel room to stay in. I do spend a lot of time in the room with the dogs, so they do not get lonely or bored.

I am currently a student, my class schedule is Monday-Thursday therefore i am not able to do overnight stays during the week. Friday-Sunday i am completely free and will be able to take care and put my full attention to your pets. I will be available to do drop ins and walks during the week anytime before 5pm.

About: I've been around dogs with different backgrounds my entire life and started taking care of them at the age of 10. I have experience with light grooming (Brushing fur) as well as brushing teeth. With cats I have experience feeding and playing I have many friends with cats that I visit often. I take care of the pups at home all the time. I feed them twice a day and make sure to brush and groom once a week. And I also enjoy taking them on walks to the dog park. At my house I allow the dogs to free roam as they are potty trained and use the backyard. I make sure to keep anything they could swallow out of reach.
About: With over five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, I provide attentive, loving, and reliable pet care, ensuring your pets feel at home. Currently on break from college, I have a flexible schedule and am available any day of the week after 10 am. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pets, ensuring they receive the best possible care and company. I prioritize safety and trust when caring for pets in my clients' homes. I follow all provided instructions meticulously, ensuring that pets are comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I keep a clean and organized space, promptly clean up after pets, and make sure they have fresh water and food. I also engage them in regular exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away.
“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.”
About: There has never been a time in my life when I haven’t had pets! I grew up with dogs my entire life, and became a cat owner 6 years ago. I’ve played an active role in my family pets’ car since I was a young teen. More recently, one of my dog babies had diabetes and multiple complex health issues, and while it was challenging, I learned to inject her insulin and manage her medications with confidence. Beyond my own pets, I’ve pet sat for cats, dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, and plants! It would be an honor and privilege to care for your pets. They’re a part of your family and I will treat them like my own. I frequently work from home and am available most weekdays and weekends to care for your pets. Whether it’s a drop in or more time intensive, my schedule is flexible and allows me the time to make pets a priority. I have a fenced yard with grass and more than enough space for a small or medium dog to run around and play. Pets will generally be able to roam freely in my home alongside my 2 cats, who are friendly and accustomed to having dogs over. I don’t mind dogs on most of my furniture, and am also more than happy to crate your pet or give them their own comfy corner depending on your preferences.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets. I love animals and own multiple different types of animals which I have gained experience in how to take care of them over the years.

While that being playing with them or being nice to them I show love towards animals in a cute lovey way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temecula Ranchos
Kaitlin was so easy to work with & she did great with my spoiled rescues. Dogs seemed to adjust to her quickly. Kaitlin is bright & helped me to feel relaxed about leaving her in charge. She sent pics & updates daily, which helped me feel connected even while being out of town. Professional, responsible & a Great communicator.
Meghan house sat our dog for ten days and did an amazing job. Apart from taking great care of him, she was also kind enough to help with a few things around the house, especially looking after the plants while we were away as the weather got quite hot. When we returned home it was hard to tell that anyone had even been in the house. She sent photos and videos daily and responded immediately to our messages. We knew our dog was in good hands and would not hesitate using her again or recommending her!
Thanks Madison! Handled my active terriers like a pro. She reliably arrived on time and went above and beyond to entertain the energetic pups to get the wiggles out. They were wiped out the next day from the evening of fun and snuggles. Recommend and would book again :)
Ako took care of my two babies once again. And we felt at ease knowing they were in caring hands. She kept me updated with their activities and even did more than what was required of her. We highly recommend her and would only use services whenever we are out of town. We trust her 100%! Thanks again Ako :)
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!
We found our pet sitter for overnights stays at our home - YAY! Amy made our vacation stress-free with updates and photos of our 2 dogs. Proactively asked questions, and followed our instructions for daily care. When you can't (or don't want to - haha) take them with you, book Amy to look after them with plenty of love and attention.
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!
We have a 6 month old pup and two senior dogs, so it was important for us to find someone who would spend the time with them while we are gone. Kathleen did a wonderful job of taking care of our 3 pups! She spent a lot of time each time she came. We know our pups love her. She sent us an update at the end of the day which was great. We already have her booked for an upcoming extended trip and we know they are in good hands 😊
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Temecula Ranchos is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Temecula Ranchos. 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 Ranchos 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 Ranchos 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 Ranchos 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Temecula Ranchos. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
