About: My life has been rewarded through a menagerie of animals and detailed care, ranging from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents. A complete joy to be offered and shared. I can easily dedicate my days for any level of care, ranging from walks, playtime, feedings or long or short overnight stays. Adaptable and flexible. With my watchful and caring eye, your pet will receive a full companionship and bonding treatment from my enthusiastic service. I'm dedicated to all animals.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
“I don’t like being away from my dog, but Isabelle makes it possible! She is attentive and an excellent communicator. I appreciate her notes and pictures that help me know my Frenchie is in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Karaleah took care of our dogs on Thursday and Friday while we were busy with wedding events, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so loving, sweet, and gentle with both of them. Her calm and kind presence made such a difference, especially during a hectic time. She was patient, attentive, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own!”
“What a great lover of the Animal Kingdom with intelligence and the perfect touch to be cared and trusted taking her responsibilities as part of her life, you can’t go wrong with a person of this value”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. From my own pets to those of friends, family, neighbors, and clients, I’ve always been someone people trust with the animals they love most. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’ve raised cats, cared for a litter of kittens from birth until they found their forever homes, and have also had the privilege of being there for several dogs during their final chapter of life. It was an honor to provide comfort, companionship, and a peaceful presence during such a meaningful transition. I believe every pet is unique, with their own personality, routines, and ways of feeling safe and happy. I take the time to understand what each animal needs, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, medication reminders, or extra cuddles. My daughter, the only other person in our home, works in veterinary medicine, so animals are truly a part of our everyday life. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me flexibility and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection so your pet feels happy and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets receive individual attention and care. I have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and special care. My daughter, who is the only other person who lives in my home, works in the veterinary field, so our household has an added level of knowledge and awareness when it comes to animal health and wellbeing. I will treat your pet like part of my own family and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Ayla did an amazing job watching my dog. She took great care of him at my house, kept me updated, and he was super happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend her!”
“Michael has done a great job, watching my small pup who doesn't eat well and needs special care for 12 days! He sent me videos and pictures every day. And when I returned home Tiffany couldn't be more happy and excited, which means he took a really good care of her. If I ever need a Dogsitter I will definitely ask Michael.”
“Shayna was excellent with our Doggo!! Looking forward to having her stay in our home again…. Shayna has a lovely and caring personality while being extremely confident and competent with caring for our fur baby!! Thankyou Shayna!! And thankyou for the great photos!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 798 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Desert View. 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 Desert View 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 Desert View 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 Desert View 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.
