“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: Being a pet owner my whole life has allowed me to understand dogs very well!

“Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!”
“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”

About: My love for dogs started when I was just 6 years old when I got my first dog Katie, an Alaskan husky, and it has only grown stronger ever since. From a young age, family friends and neighbors trusted me to care for their beloved pets by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving each one the attention and affection they deserved. I have always treated every dog in my care as if they were my own, and that commitment hasn't changed. Today, I bring that same lifelong passion and hands on experience to every booking. Whether your pup needs a energetic walk, a calm overnight stay, or simply some extra love while you're away, you can count on me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I am available for walks Monday through Saturday, with a preference for early morning appointments, though I am flexible to accommodate your schedule. I do not offer walking services on Sundays or major federal holidays. If you have any specific instructions, preferred routes, or behavioral notes about your dogs, I welcome that information to make every walk as smooth as possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the owner's feeding schedule, walking times, and any specific instructions to ensure the pet experiences little to no disruption while they are away. I make sure fresh water is always available, the space is kept tidy, and that each pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and affection throughout every visit. For dog walking, I take the time to understand each dog's behavior and energy level before heading out, walking up to two dogs at a time from the same litter to keep every outing safe and enjoyable. No matter the service, I treat every pet with the same patience and love I would give my own.
“Tatiana did an incredible job - we are so grateful for her care and consideration for our pup. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to her support again in the future”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to horses, turtles, and birds. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I have over 20 years of hands-on experience. I’ve raised and cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also practice self-taught dog training and am currently working with a dog on service animal behaviors. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care every time. I’m currently not working, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets every day. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, playtime, drop-ins, or boarding. This allows me to give pets my full attention and keep them happy, active, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I live in a gated community with access to a dog park, which is perfect for safe play and exercise. I also have one friendly dog who enjoys companionship, but I can easily provide separate space if your pet prefers quiet time. I always follow owner instructions closely and treat every pet as if they were part of my family.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14. I have loved animals since I was born and am able to administer medications and also insulin if needed. My first pet sitting actually involved small farm animals too! I work at Yard house, a restaurant in the Palmdale valley. While I can work late hours I will always make sure your animal’s care comes first and foremost. I currently do not have my own home as I am renting a room. I sadly am not able to offer board and care in my own home at this time.
“Chloe was great. From the moment i met her, I could tell she was kind and responsible. She was very responsive and accommodating. I would use her services again and would recommend her.”
“Shannon was great! She was punctual, professional and loving with my baby. Shannon made me leaving my baby less stressful. We love her and will be booking again for all of our needs.”
About: I live with my husband, son, our funny and gentle Goldendoodle Mowgli, and curious cat Tin Tin, all of us animal lovers who know how to spoil a furry friend. Mowgli loves making new friends and will happily keep your pup playing while you’re away. Our home has a big backyard perfect for zoomies and sniff sessions, plus plenty of cozy spots for naps. Since I work from home full time, your pet will get nonstop attention, and probably a few extra belly rubs. I love taking dogs on neighborhood trail walks, and my husband’s the running buddy your pup never knew they needed. I’m great with all kinds of pets, from bouncy puppies who need patience and playtime to wise senior dogs who deserve gentle care and lots of love. Basically, your pet will get treated like one of the family, and maybe even better! Since I work from home full time, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m always available to let pups out whenever they need a bathroom break or some fresh air, so they never have to wait long. We typically go on a walk in the evening to get some exercise and enjoy the neighborhood. Mornings and evenings are full of cuddles and quality time, making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable throughout the day. On weekends, we like to take the dogs to the park for some off-leash play or bring them along on car rides for a little adventure. Because I’m home all day, I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and special needs, whether that means extra potty breaks, medication, or just some quiet companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family and cared for in a safe, loving environment. We have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can roam and play freely. If needed, I can crate pets comfortably for rest or safety. Since I work from home full time, your pet will have constant supervision and attention throughout the day. I follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully and make sure each pet’s routine is respected. We enjoy daily walks and plenty of cuddles in the mornings and evenings. On weekends, we like to take dogs to the park or on car rides for extra fun. I keep my home clean and pet-friendly, and I’m prepared for any emergencies with quick access to a local vet and Rover’s 24/7 support. Above all, your pet will receive personalized care, lots of love, and companionship while you’re away.

I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.
Hannah was absolutely awesome. This was her second time watching the pups. She took great care of them and the house and sent plenty of pictures and updates. Hannah was quick to respond and followed instructions well. If she was unsure of anything, she reached out. 100% would book again and again. Thank you!
Sara was awesome! She was punctual and left the house in good condition. She sent us pictures and videos of our 4 pups and updates constantly which was greatly appreciated! She also asked plenty of questions to make sure she was providing the service that we were expecting. We will definitely be booking her for our future needs!
Josian was great with our three pups for a week long stay. We have a pretty picky eater that you have to have some patience with, and seemed to eat fine while we were gone! All pups seemed happy and Josian kept us up to date with pictures of our pups while we were gone. Would definitely work with Josian again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Desert View Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Desert View Highlands on Rover is $46.82 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,393 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Desert View Highlands. 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Desert View Highlands. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
