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 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.

“Timmy is definitely a person you can trust to take excellent care of your pets. He took excellent care of our two pups while we were away. He was very prompt- showing up always on the time that was scheduled and spending the entire time with our doggies, playing with them, feeding them and giving them love. The dogs were literally smiling in the photos he sent us and they are both shy rescue dogs- so that speaks volumes that they warmed up to him so quickly! We loved how many photos he sent and that we got a little report of how each visit went. It’s so nice not worrying about your pets while you are away. We will 100% rebook Timmy in the future and highly recommend him!”

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!

Received my Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science and understand the complexities of the brain (including most animals). I love pets and will care for yours like my own family (have 33 first cousins). Most babies, kids, and animals like me without knowing me (the ultimate background check). My record/background is squeaky sterile, aside from a speeding ticket. Rest assured, I will keep your dog active, and mentally stimulated while you are away. I want to make the world a better place and I will start with the smallest of creatures. I am able to work with your pet as part of my exercise routine. I am a student and have the flexibility to pick when I can walk or sit a pup. I will treat your pet like an extension of my family. After all they are a cherished part of your family and will be part of mine.

About: I am a Massage Therapist for over 26 years taking a little break from the spa world. I found myself having extra time. Recently, my friends have been asking me to dog sit for them and I thought why not open my services to my community. I recently watched a very sweet dog for a week became very attached giving lots of love and massages. I have a friendly five year-old dog that loves companionship. We have a pool that we all love to get into and cool off. I can give dog baths, dog walks dog parties. Have comfort in knowing that your dog will be well taken care of. I have the flexibility with my work schedule to only be gone 5 to 6 hours any given day. I can do check-ins a couple of times a day as well as overnight sitting in my own home. We have a decent size fenced yard. We live on a pretty quiet street with only one or two dog neighbors. My dog copper is very friendly and loves company. Copper normally stays inside, especially during the hot months. We have a park nearby that I like to throw the ball and get the wiggles out. On occasion, we take our dog to a dog park.

About: Hi! My name is Bella, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m currently a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own, whom I absolutely adore and care for every day. I have 3 years of experience caring for and loving animals, and I truly believe that pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—even when their parents are away. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping them on their normal routine, or simply being there for them, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend by their side. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies behind, so I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure they know they aren’t alone. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. With my husband currently away serving in the military, I have more flexibility and time in my schedule to dedicate to something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I’m able to be flexible with my availability and give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to stay active, spend time with animals, and make pet care a meaningful part of my day while also focusing on myself and building work that I truly enjoy. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I like to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions their parents provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and just as I found it. I’ll give pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also understand that every pet is different. Some may want lots of cuddles and play, while others may need more patience and personal space. I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️

About: I fortunately was born into a household that loves all kinds of animals from fish to dogs to rodents. I have developed consistent routine skills just from the responsibility that is given when owning a pet. I have been a designated pet sitter for friends ensuring that their pets just as healthy and happy as they are with their owner! I’m patient and integral to instructions making sure each pet gets proper care. I’m especially good at training dogs, both puppies and adults. Pet care-taking has taught me fundamental values that I carry with me today! I’m currently a college student at Cal State University of San Marcos and commute back and forth. I am currently unemployed so my hours are very flexible and I am very available. My pets are primarily indoor pets and are usually hanging out on the furniture, however, I let them out my fenced backyard frequently for potty breaks or if they need to let out energy to play. During these times I make sure to an eye on them until they come back inside. I take them on walks every other day consistently in the morning. During feeding time, I ensure each pet is separated during and take any necessary precautions to prevent food aggression. I am attentive to any aggressive/bad behavior and know how to respond accordingly. On the other hand, I always make sure to reward good behavior with lots of love and treats. For cats, I am a clean freak and make sure the empty box is always empty. Overall, I provide protective but intentional care with all pets!

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!🎾

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats ever since I was little. Currently, I do not have any cats or dogs of my own but have plenty of experience sitting for both. I am trustworthy and while you are away, I can offer your pet a calm, gentle presence and love! During the week, I often have a lot of free time on my hands. I have established a routine where I take an hour walk in the neighborhood after work and am just looking to incorporate my love for animals into my daily/weekly walk or routine. To care for pets, I always ensure their basic needs are met (ie., food, water, comfortable place to sleep). Once I get to know a pet better, I can understand more of its' unique needs (ie., whether or not to get it toys or put a blanket on top of it when it's sleeping). I think creating a safe, trusty environment first depends on the receptivity of the animal towards me.

Hunter did an excellent job caring for my two rescue dogs. They can be a little temperamental with new people, but he clearly has experience with rescue animals and knew to approach them patiently and let them warm up at their own pace. By the end of the visit, my girls looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I would absolutely book Hunter again and highly recommend him to anyone, especially those with rescue or anxious dogs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Temecula Ranchos

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Temecula Ranchos is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. 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 4,764 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Temecula Ranchos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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.
