“LeeAnn is such an amazing pet sitter! She's very quick and responsive, and sends the cutest pictures of pets! I'm so thankful she lives in the area <3 Thank you so much, LeeAnn! <3 Mamba and Liv”
“BReN once again was a great sitter for my cat Xochitl while I was away for a week. My cat is very independent and doesn’t cuddle much so BReN must be a cat whisperer because I received frequent pictures of Xochitl hanging out on her lap or next to her! The house was clean upon return and she even brought in a package that arrived while we were out. BReN is thoughtful and caring toward animals and their human guardians.”
“Diana looked after our kitties when we went out of town. She made sure they had food and water, cleaned their litter boxes, loved on them, and helped take care of the house when our mini ac unit was leaking. She did more than was required of a pet sitter ❤️”
“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”
“Larissa was very professional, consistent, and thorough. Not a moments hesitation would there be to hire her again. Her communication was superb, as was her overall pet care and attention to detail. And I could tell from all the photos of my Kitty… that she agreed wholeheartedly, as well. A very happy little girl!”
“Liz is wonderful her main interest is the care and protection of the animals I have 2 husky puppies and she did wonderful with them! I had to travel for work and change plans short notice she really helped me out”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is there is no debate with me when it comes to which is better, cats or dogs. I just love taking care of your fur babies! Plus I have dealt with older animals and understand what comes with handling them. Pet care fits in my routine perfectly! This and college will blend in perfectly in my day to day routine getting me where I need to be! I unfortunately cannot have any dogs or cats in my home, because there already are 4 dogs plus a cat in the home that I take care of. But I am willing to stay and take care of your pets in your home.
“Shawna is a fantastic sitter. She took excellent care of my cat Pies. Pies has IBS and Shawna administered her medicine everyday, as well as all the usual things (food, water, litter etc.). She also gave me detailed updates on how she was doing daily, which I really appreciated! I've had other sitters in the past, but by far Shawna is the best. I'll definitely be hiring her again to watch Pies if I'm out of town. Thanks again Shawna for going above and beyond =)”
About: I have taken care of pets since an early age. We have had surgeries, Iv care and shot and medication experience. I have trained puppies and dogs and shown dogs that have won titles. I currently do pet and people portraits while I’m pet sitting and the dogs are napping. I have an elderly dog and two younger Labradors that live here. I also have vegetable gardens, gardens and lawn I water every 3-4 days. Taking care of cuddlers is my life💕 I have 7 snake wire fenced yards. Two have lawns. One yard with a large patio and dirt and shade and the other areas have sawdust so the dogs won’t burn their feet. I also have three larger areas for winter runs. The fencing is 6’ high except in the large lawn area. It is 4.5’.
“Renee is AWESOME! She met our 3 pups and bonded extremely well with them instantly. While I was trying to decide on who to watch our pups, I messaged her and she was extremely helpful on answering my questions. She met our pups and they took a quick liking to her. All was well in our world. While we were on our trip she would happily answer my texts and sent pictures oh how things were going. We had to sadly come home a day early and she was completely understanding of it and even coached me through how to adjust our reservations. We are extremely thankful to Renee, would recommend her to everyone in the area, and will be requesting her services again in the future.”
About: Alex works from home with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles. Rahul loves going for runs with dogs as they are able! Loving home with no kids, one sweetie doggie, HUGE backyard and monitored doggie door, and two loving capable carers! Alex works from home so she has nothing but time and energy to devote to your pet. We both get up early and are very adaptable to the needs of your pet. We have a vast network of walking trails behind our house, I give my dog 2 long walks, one in the morning and one in the evening to avoid heat of the day, and your pet will have access to doggie door to go out at-will into fenced yard with active supervision. If access to doggie door is an issue, we can keep it closed. I closely follow your instructions and I have great communication if I have any questions or concerns. I can send you daily updates/photos, and I can follow all instructions regarding any special needs.
“Jenny is very reliable and my kitty, Squirrel loved her. Upon returning from a weekend away, Squirrel was very content and comfortable. Jenny shared lots of photos and updates and went above and beyond what was requested of her.”
About: I understand that your pet is family, and I care for every dog with the same attention, responsibility, and respect I would my own. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and mindful of every detail to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable, punctual, and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and spending time with dogs, so making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for is something I prioritize every day. I treat every pet and every home with care, respect, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and clear communication so you can have complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve had animals all my life! When I was 9 we had 3 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot and an aviary of small birds. Over the years I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Currently I have a semi-reactive pitbull rescue so I’m very sensitive to any special interaction needs. I work from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can pop in pretty much anytime for walks or visits, and overnight care on weeknights is no problem. I can be in your home with your furry one as much or as little as you’d like. Whether they’re couch potatoes or avid walkers, I’m there to keep them occupied, loved and fed (occasionally with some homemade treats).
“Katie did a couple of drop ins for my dog and 2 cats. They were all very comfortable with her and she gave them tons of attention! We would definitely recommend her to others and will use her for future trips!”

Family medical emergency meant I needed a cat sitter ASAP. Beverly was able to do this and was flexible when I needed to be away longer than originally planned. Beverly took great care of our cat, stopping by for morning and afternoon feedings, litter box, and providing our cat with chin scratches and lap time. Beverly will take good care of your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Joshua Tree on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joshua Tree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Joshua Tree stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joshua Tree. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
