“We spent a fair bit of time researching the site, looking for a house/dog sitter that would meet our specific needs. After considerable searching, we decided on Peggy. Peggy is very responsive to emails/texts, and we were able to quickly arrange an initial meet and greet at our house. Needless to say, the meeting went very well. Peggy is a delight to deal with, Sierra our Samoyed took to her immediately, and we set up our first house/dog sitting appointment. During the appointment, Peggy kept us informed, sending us pictures of our girl, took care of our Sierra, and the house was immaculate when we came home. Very pleased with Peggy and we definitely plan to use her services again.”
“Afton is fantastic! she was very professional and and sent many updates of our 3 elderly furballs while we were away. The dogs love here and we will definitely be booking with her next time we are traveling without them. Highly recommended.”
About: My passion for pets, is definitely something that's a core part of me, Dogs cats and everything in between, Ive most likely taken care of swimmingly? Well it's quite literally my everyday more or less for the last 8 years!, I got involved in pet rescue and most of my fur babies were rescues & foster fails. I care for pets as naturally as breathing comes to me! I see pets that I care for, be it, house-sitting or even those see through family visits etc. with as much care as my own! They're quite literally family for most people and should be treated with that level of respect and care.
“Lauren was amazing with my fur-babies. They enjoyed her company especially at the greet and meet. She sends picture updates and spends quality time with them. Maui and Bruno had a nice time with their new friend. Highly Recommend. Will hire again soon.”
“Ashley has been great, she stepped up when another sitter had let us down. She did made sure to keep in contact with us during our trip and was very friendly and easy to communicate with.”
About: Hi! I'm Emily. I own two Siamese- mixed cats named De Vil and Shadow. Throughout my life, I've taken care of a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, and chickens. My experience with these animals has given me the skills involved with handling all range of animals and ensure each and every pet is taken care of and nurtured. I am available from 6:00 am to 7:30pm, every day. I believe it's important to keep animals on a schedule, I make it a top priority to be punctual and organized. For a safe and fun adventure, I typically carry treats, water, and spare leashes. I can also follow any specific requirements and bring any special items that your pet may need. I look forward to spending time with and getting to know your pets. I recommend meet-and-greets, so your animal has a chance to get to know me, while also guaranteeing the animal's comfort and trust in the presence of its owner.
“Mariah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Kona! Kona can be a hyper handful and Mariah was able to handler her perfectly. She was respectful of our home and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Alysabeth was absolutely amazing with our dogs. Mamba, my youngest and biggest gal, is very nervous around new people and tends to bark and shy away. She warmed up to Alysabeth right away! She also sent me photos of the pups throughout the day and you could clearly see they had the best time with her. Will absolutely call her again when we need someone to look after the fur babies.”
“Gianna was a wonderful sitter for my babies! She paid attention to detail and left everything neat and tidy. Very easy to get ahold of and a great communicator. When I got back, all my pets were happy and calm which says a lot about how they were taken care of while I away. Highly recommend!”

“This is our 1st time using Nicole . She responded in a timely manner.. Arrived Timely and our wick was very comfortable with her. Wick has separation anxiety and we felt he was in good hands with Nicole. Will most definitely use Nicole again .”
About: I grew up taking care of 3 cats and 1 dog. Unfortunately 2 of my cats passed away due to old age, but one is still hanging on 14 years strong! My dog is older, but a few years ago I got my boyfriend a puppy, who ended up having puppies of his own. 2 from the litter are now mine and they are currently 1 year old. I care for them daily and have trained them ever since. I have helped my aunts and uncles with pet sitting as well when I was younger. They have 2 dogs and a bearded dragon along with 3 turtles. I am also volunteering at my local Veterinarian Office to gain experience to become a Veterinarian someday. I have a very flexible schedule, considering I take online college classes and I am currently unemployed. I can provide help anytime! I’ll let you know if I have busy days if needed. I have 2 friendly 1 year old dogs, but my family’s senior dog is harder to get along with. He’s not a fan of male dogs, but gets along well with females. I also have a slightly older dog who is the father of my two, but he lives with my boyfriend. I would love to have my other two around your dog if comfortable.

I respond quickly and am available for weekdays to weekends as well . From apartments to houses I'm comfortable coming to provide a loving experience for your baby and make sure they get the care and safety they need .
“We hired Mary to care for our two dogs while we were away for three days. We did a meet and greet and our dogs really loved the attention Mary gave them. While we were gone, Mary updated us with pictures and even brought in our Amazon packages. When we came back Mary left the house spotless. Our dogs must of had a good time because they keep going back to our guest room to look for her.”
About: I have cared for my own as well as family and friends dogs for years. Special needs no problem I can administer medications, give diabetic dogs shots, dog training, and teach tricks I am available 7 days a week to come to you. When you can’t be there you want someone who will give them the loving care they are used to. Keeping your pets happy and safe in their own environment is less stressful for them and they can keep their routines. Get medications on time and feed on schedule. Dogs know when it’s dinner time.
About: HI I'm Sean, and I’ve always been the “animal person” in every room. From cuddly lap cats to wild zoomie dogs, I’ve had a soft spot for furry friends my whole life. I’ve fostered animals, cared for seniors, helped nervous rescues come out of their shell, and handled everything from litter box dramas to leash tug-o-wars. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be loved, spoiled (responsibly), and treated like one of my own. My partner and I are using Rover to kick off LuAtty Pet Services, a passion project that’s growing into a full rescue. Every walk, snuggle, and pet sit supports our mission to care for more animals in need 🐾 Whether your pet needs a buddy, a belly rub, or just someone who truly gets animals, I’m your guy. I send updates, follow routines to the letter, and give pets the kind of love they brag about at the dog park. Let’s set up a meet-and-sniff! I work part-time from 11 AM to 5 PM, so I specialize in overnight care—whether your pet stays with us or I come to you. If your pet stays in our home, they’ll enjoy: A clean, comfy space in the living room Camera access for you to check in anytime Two daily walks (before and after work) Lots of playtime, cuddles, and sniffs around our desert neighborhood 🌵🐾 If I stay in your home, I treat it with the same care I give your pet: I clean up after myself Keep food and water bowls fresh Stick to your pet’s playtime and bedtime routines And make sure your furry one feels calm, safe, and cared for in their own space. --- Whether you're heading out for a weekend or need help during a long work trip, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, seen, and secure while you're away. Before any first-time stay or walk, we like to meet both pet and parent to make sure everyone vibes well—comfort and trust go both ways! We want tails wagging and peace of mind for the humans involved. In our home: We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor playtime Large crates are available by request, with an open-door policy so your pet always has a cozy retreat when needed The living room and kitchen areas have camera access, which you can view during your pet’s stay with us We also send plenty of photos and videos so you never feel too far from your furry one In your home: We follow your pet’s specific routines—feeding, playtime, walks, and sleep We make sure their designated sleeping and potty areas are tidy and respected We treat your home with care and leave everything clean and just as we found it (sometimes even better 😉) Our goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and stress-free—no matter whose couch they’re on 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Helendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Helendale on Rover is $27.75 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 201 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Helendale. 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 Helendale 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 Helendale 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 Helendale 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 Helendale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
