About: Hello! My name is Marlon & i have been a pet owner for about 15 years now. I have always owned dogs of all kinds of sizes, shapes, and to say the least, personalities. Though some moments made me want to pull my hair out, i was thankful to learn patience with my pets through these situations and i am glad it helped me learn about different traits dogs can have. With this experience, i plan to take and use it while being out with your pet.

I love getting to know new pets and people, so I hope to create awesome relationships with you all. I work from home and have plenty of time to attend to your fur babies. I juggle 3 of my own dogs very comfortably and still have time to do lots of other things for clients if need be with my schedule being able to get moved around to easily. I plan to treat your pets as i would treat mine: Like they are my family. I plan on giving my full attention to them when needed and allow them to just be dogs at the same time.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”

“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
About: Ive taken care of my dog that was 10 years of age before he passed and also taken care of a puppy with a anxious attatchment style.

I like to follow routines as do pets as well but i always had a deep belief that the babies and pets feel your energy so I love to be around animals or even babies with a calm manner.
“Alan and Melissa clearly love dogs, and they did an admirable job of looking after our German shepherd for three days. In fact, we have already booked them for a longer stay during Thanksgiving week. They are a responsible, personable couple--the sort of dog sitters that are a credit to the Rover service.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Desert View Highlands
Annie did a reliable job house-sitting our three dogs while we were away on vacation. My dogs deal with separation anxiety and can't be left alone past a strict window of time. Even with having another dog to walk during her stay, Annie managed her schedule well, was consistently punctual, and made sure our pups weren't left alone longer than agreed. She followed all feeding instructions and house rules, kept us updated, and the dogs were well cared for. Appreciated the dependability and transparency.
Sara was amazing! She kept in constant contact with us throughout her stay and she followed all of the instructions we left for her to a tee. Our pups were both happy to spend time with her and we came home to find them well loved and cared for. 10/10 would definitely hire Sara again!
Jarely did an exceptional job taking care of my 2 pups! We met up beforehand so she could meet the pups and show her what the expectations for the pups were. She watched, fed, cared for my furbabies as if they were her own. She provided so many pics and videos. Also she responds very quickly. I will definitely be rebooking with her for whenever I go out of town! Thanks so much Jarely! You were amazing!
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!
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!
Caitlin was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs. From initial contact to the end of her stay, she was communicative and engaging. I loved the updates she sent throughout and felt at ease knowing our dogs were being taken care of by her. We would definitely book her again in the future.
Evan took good care of Balto’s basic needs while I was away and generally stayed for the full 30-minute visits. He kept me updated and handled an unexpected issue getting into the house with a lot of persistence and patience, which I really appreciated. He went out of his way to work through the situation and make sure he was still able to get inside and care for Balto. There was one morning when he arrived later than the scheduled time due to an alarm issue, but thankfully Balto was fine and did not have an accident while waiting to be let out. One thing I learned through the experience is that Evan and Balto may not have been the ideal match in terms of interaction style. Balto is a large but very mellow and affectionate dog who likes to approach people for attention and may give an occasional lick. Evan explained that he sometimes preferred to give Balto a little space when he approached excitedly or tried to lick him. I see this more as a difference in interaction styles and comfort levels rather than an issue with the care Balto received. Overall, I appreciated Evan’s help, communication, and especially his willingness to problem-solve when an unexpected situation came up.

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 , 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.
