“Jaxon was great with my dogs and they loved her very much. She was able to stay with them during 4th of July so they weren’t scared of the fireworks. She was very helpful and maintained communication with me at all times”
“Marx took great care of my senior citizen pup while I was away and communicated effectively when he had questions, or needing clarification. I also got sick while on my travels and Marx so graciously was able to stay another day so I could recover and enjoy the remainder of my trip. My dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I would definitely use and recommend Marx again to others.”
“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual. We have a Great Dane Mastiff and an 14yo boxer who can be very needy in their own ways. She sent updates of potty breaks, meals and asked all the important questions. We will definitely request her again. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m responsible, patient, loving, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently completing an externship, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and have availability on weekdays after my externship. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for both dogs and cats. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their needs, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
“It was our first time leaving Luna (our rescue who we believe was previously traumatized) so we were a little anxious. We couldn't have asked for better. Norma was amazing. She stayed in our home to look after Luna and looked after both as if they were her own. The house looked amazing and Luna was calm and relaxed, clearly well looked after. Norma sent us regular updates and pictures which were much appreciated. We would highly recommend Norma if you are looking for someone who is conscientious with a genuine love of animals. Thanks Norma x”
About: I’ve grew up w/ 2 little chihuahuas Brownie & Cookie which i’ve taken care of since I was 14! As I grew older, i adopted another doggie, Nala, who is now living in Doggie heaven since 2022. I enjoy Cats & Dogs in my space they’re great companions and I love their different personalities. After taking animal behavior during my undergraduate I’ve been intrigued with the behavior of pets more and more! I would love to get to know you and your companion!! I’m pretty free and home majority of the time, I am an entrepreneur so this is what I do. I hope I can sit your furry friend. I have a small minimalistic 1 bedroom home. Honestly, there isn’t too much for your pets to get into AND i do have a few pet toys if your companion likes to play

About: I moved recently from Victorville to Pinon Hills. FOR PEOPLE IN THE VICTORVILLE AREA, I OFFER TO PICK UP DOGS AT THE SUPER TARGET ON MAIN STREET. I have a house on the hills that has a small/medium size fenced backyard. This is the perfect place for small and medium dogs to have fun. I am always home with the dogs, taking care of them is my full time job! I love them. I treat the dogs I keep like part of my family, they receive a lot of attention, they stay with me inside the house with times outside to walk and play under my supervision, they don't stay outside in the heat or in the cold and they sleep inside the house at night. I have a soft spot for older dogs :-) I also offer drop-in visits or house sitting depending on my availability and can take care of dogs, cats and farm animals. I offer a discount for extended stays. I'm home most of the day to take care of the pets. When I go out to run errands, I keep the dogs separately if I have several dogs at home. I have a fenced backyard and I have 2 old and friendly chihuahuas. I can crate dogs if needed at night. I have dog beds and blankets on the couch to allow the doggies to sit with us.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15! I’ve watched guineas, chinchillas, dogs, cats - I’d love to meet yours! :) I’m available to watch pets at all hours of the day - I live on a wide property with lots of room for running! :) With any pet I make sure they get lots of attention, patience and outside time. Unless requested otherwise, I feed twice a day kibble&wetfood :)
“Hermes was so awesome with our (challenging) dog and two cats! He watched them for two weeks and sent lots of updates and pics while we were on vacation. Our pets absolutely loved him and we felt really secure knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since before I could remember from Boxers and shitzus to Great Pyrenees. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them !!! I’m a recent grad from ucsd who is working part- time so I have really good availability …. Currently looking for someone’s dog to accompany me on my walks :) I pay very close attention to how the dogs parents would like me to take care of the dog, making sure to be attentive to each and every one of the their needs.
About: My family had puppy dog named Hazel who we had for about 3 years. I used to play fetch with her in the backyard when I’d come home from school when I was around 10. I’d help with baths, walking her, my mom taught me how bring her inside when I was home alone doing homework, she behaved great and protected me well. A few years later, she passed from choking while eating something that I think had a bone in it and that was the first experience of heartbreak/loss. A few years after that, I adopted my current pet cat on my birthday, Ace, who I love so much. I’ve always loved animals and give pets to dogs whenever I have permission to, my best friend has many dogs so when I go over her house, I get all the cuddles and get drooled on, which I’m used to at this point. I love watching dog training videos and educating myself as I get older so when I finally get a dog again, as an adult, I want to be prepared and educated on how to protect their health, feed them properly and keep them safe with proper nutrition, exercise and training. I would personally love to get myself a Doberman or German Shepherd (Like Hazel was). I often go to my aunts house who has multiple chunky french bulldogs and help her in anyway I can, I enjoy how sweet dogs are and would love to help do any training techniques you’d love your little doggo to be working on while you are away. I am also in the process of my goal of losing 100lbs! So this helps me get the exercise I need while doing something I’m passionate about! Weekday and Weekends for now, preferably during the Morning & Afternoons on Weekdays and anytime as long as there is a day notice beforehand so I can clear my schedule just for your pet. Not currently doing pet sitting or boarding at my own home, maybe I will be more likely to in the future but I’m not sure yet.
“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”
About: I’m new to the Rover community but I look forward to expanding my profile and making time for your companions. My family and I have had dogs are entire +20 years, til this day too. We’ve had large and small dogs, several breeds, some became mothers, and some left the family—so I’ve experienced full life cycles of dogs. Because of my understandings of having a furry companion, I have a soft spot for all furry buddies and i’m committed to learning and adapting to taking care of a new friend if it means making a fellow pet owner’s life a little easier. I love to be active so I can take your buddy for nice nature walks, play with them, or even down time with endless head/belly scratches—whatever your friend needs I can give. My two dogs, Muffin and Biscuit enjoy short walks and eating snacks so they’re two furballs of fun! I’m available for drop-ins or house sitting when needed. At your home I can keep your pet active with playtime and walks or I can just keep an eye on them, whatever is best for your pet! I am a student and a healthcare worker but I will always make more time for a pet when needed. Services including: -Dog walks, 30-45 min. To give your pet fresh air, a break from indoor spaces, and a simple exercise around a nice neighborhood or a dog friendly trail. -House drop-ins. to make sure your pet is safe and sound, the house is clean, well fed and stimulated, with playtime, potty breaks, and head scratches to remind them they’re never alone. -House Sitting. Hours will vary. My service includes providing basic necessities and care for your pets (food, water, walks, playtime, naps, potty breaks) to keep your home and your pet comfortable and safe

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,008 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Pines. 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 Big Pines 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 Big Pines 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Big Pines 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
