“This was the second time we asked Renee to watch our Aussie shepherd, Oliver, while we were on vacation outside the country. He loves her and Renee really takes care of Oliver as we would. Before we even book a vacation, we check Renee's schedule and make sure she is available. We were really confident during our vacation that Oliver was receiving spa treatment at home and loving every second of it. We have known Renee for the last couple of years and we consider her a good friend. We trust her with our home and Oliver. Renee takes lots of photos and videos, so we get plenty of updates and feedback on the hour to hour activities of Oliver. We highly recommend Renee. She is the best.”
“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 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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ayla did a great job!! The dogs were spoiled just as if I were home. Plenty of pics and updates to keep me comfortable away from the monsters....and my house was left as if she were never here. I will absolutely look to have her house sit in the future! Thanks Ayla!!”

About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them. I can house them overnight, watch them for the day, or just walk them. I have two separate gated yards where they can run around and play.

“Elizabeth was amazing with Theo. She sent me videos and pictures of Theo every time as updates. Theo eventually got comfortable and enjoyed the stay. She could handle Theo's separation anxiety like a professional! 5/5 stars and Elizabeth went beyond my expectations.”

I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.
About: I have been a devoted pet caregiver and self owner since the age of 10. I have experience training and care giving for many different type of breeds such as huskies , poodles , jack Russell’s, German shepherds, pit bulls , and more. I always have experience with cats as well and love them just as much. My passion for the genuine care of animals is immense and I would strive to give the best service always. I have been fortunate enough to take some time away from my 9-5 and have had a dire need to pick up a hobby of something I genuinely would LOVE to do. My schedule is completely open to the needs of fur babies! I have one extremely friendly and loving husky who would love to engage with other pets just as much as I would. I have a large fenced backyard for play and gates that block off any potential hazards such as a open road.
“Kaylee is wonderful. She met our small zoo before our booking day and spent a good amount of time with them. Our pets love her and she made us feel at ease about leaving them. Our newly adopted dog fell in love with her from the get go! She has a way with animals that will put your mind at ease. We are excited to plan more outings since we found her.”
“Tracy took the time necessary to let my 2-yr old (hyper) maltese get to know her. By the time I left, she was scratching his tummy and playing with him and I felt comfortable leaving him in her capable hands! Tracy responded promptly, arrived on time and I would definitely hire her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Desert View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 797 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
