“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”

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!”

About: Hi there! I am 31 years old and live in Temecula with my husband. I am a lifelong dog lover with a golden retriever of my own. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I genuinely care for every dog like they’re part of my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your pet will get plenty of attention and love while you’re away. I just recently went back to school so I am very flexbile with my scheduling. I have a dog of my own but no children. I am available 7 days of the week and will work around your schedule. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be cared for in the comfort of their own home. I’m reliable, clean, respectful of your space, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. I grew up caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and it's something I've genuinely enjoyed throughout my life. I also have a year of hands-on experience bathing and grooming dogs, and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. When I was younger, I spent a summer helping my aunt with her pet-sitting business in another state. That experience showed me how rewarding it is to care for pets and gave me the confidence to pursue pet sitting myself. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and open availability. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve without feeling rushed. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I'm able to adapt to each pet's individual needs and provide consistent, dependable care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whether I'm stopping by for a visit or staying overnight, you can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.
“Laurie was amazing! She was very accommodating and sent photos of my fur babies while she watched them on my wedding day. She took them for walks and was very patient with them all. She was a real life saver and I would recommend her to any one in need of an amazing dog sitter. 🩷🐶”
“Kaitlin watched our 3 dogs while we took a weekend to San Francisco. We appreciated her availability/ flexibility as this was a last minute trip. She was very friendly and communicative, texting and sending pictures to me to let me know how things were going and answering my texts right away. Our dogs were calm and well taken care of upon our return. I could definitely tell Kaitlin was conscientious of watching the house and exercising the dogs because they were happy and calm when we returned and everything was in good order. We will not hesitate to have Kaitlin watch our fur babies again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temecula Ranchos
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.
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 😊
She was amazing and very helpful when we went on vacation. She was even a life saver when we got stuck on the east coast due to the storms and stayed with our pets till we got home. My family and I def recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and she will take care of and love your animals as if they were her own. 5 stars out of 5 stars for sure if I could go higher in the ratings. Thank you again Savannah for all your help!
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 for House Sitting in Temecula Ranchos on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,186 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 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.

- 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.
