“BReN saved me when I had to leave home last minute due to a family emergency and I needed someone to check on my baby girl Xochitl while I was away. I received several photos of kitty being very social and affectionate upon BReN’s arrival. She also made sure to leave extra food and water since the power had gone out in other parts of town due to high winds. I’m so grateful to have someone who cares so much about animals who can care for Xochitl.”

About: My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby. I didn’t own my own dog until I met Buddy and we have since then been inseparable. We go to the dog park every single day to play with all the other loving dogs. I’m currently working from home and am very flexible. Can take your pets for a walk and play with them outside or inside. They will be loved. I am proactive and will encourage the pups to run around outside, play fetch, and wrestle each other. Buddy would love more friends to play with.

“Shawna, was one of the best cat sitters I have ever had. I have a cat with kidney issues and she administered the subcutaneous fluids. The place was tidy when I returned. She provided wonderful updates and the cats seemed even happier and more content when I returned home! Would recommend hands down.”

About: I love being with dogs! I have been a dog Mom for 35 years, and I run a nonprofit dog rescue. Through my extensive experience with dogs, I feel I understand the emotions, language and needs of pups. My joy is seeing dogs feel safe and cared for, and watching them thrive! I am good with dogs in all stages of life, especially senior pups. I am home with the dogs! Dog care and being with the dogs is my priority. Your dogs will have loving companionship and attention, to help them feel comfortable, relaxed and nurtured. My home is set up for the comfort of the pups! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds, for better snuggling. I have fenced yards made for the pups’ safety and security, and I own 28 surrounding acres of beautiful, pristine desert land, where pups can run, walk and play. There are no roads, traffic or passing cars. Dogs love the freedom of this exquisite area! I call it a Doggy Disneyland!

“Rejoice watched my puppy for an afternoon recently when I couldn’t leave him alone for too long. She was available pretty last minute and was great! She clearly loves dogs and didn’t just drop in to walk him but stayed with him for the afternoon which was a huge help! She knows a lot about dogs and how to care for them and I am so happy I’ve found a great option for dog sitting for my new pooch! Will definitely use again!”

About: My name is Brittney, I am about to be 30 years young! I am very reliable, outgoing and steadfast. I have been caring for and house sitting for 12 years now!

I know animals are apart of most family's life so worrying is only our first instinct, but to know someone will be there to help, helps ease those worries. As I said before I am very reliable, and also have a daughter, she is 7, Being a single mom has made me more devoted to be better in every way possible! I work very early, am off bye noon, and have the weekends off! My mom is staying with me she also does Rover and helps in the mornings before she goes to work. I have a huge, fenced in yard very well gated. My house is clean, specially the floors for the fur babies to get around easily.

About: Hello! My name is Sam. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have watched and taken care of dogs for many years. My husband and I have a Australian Red healer named Arturo and he also loves other dogs but if yours doesn't that totally ok! I would love to come walk them around the neighborhood, watch them for the night or weekend or just check up and feed them if needed. I am available and in Yucca Valley but able to travel to other nearby cities. I am a student and working freelance right now so I have a lot of time to be flexible right now. I can do weekdays or weekends. I would take special care when someones home and to leave it as I found it if not better. If at my place, I am a very neat and clean person and my dog has a good sized yard to have plenty of space if it was to be shared.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have cared for every personality you can imagine —> hyper pups, mellow cats, protective dogs, social butterfly pets, and those who think they’re human. Over the years I’ve learned the most important skill in all any care: patience. I began pet sitting in 2015 for friends and family and quickly became the go-to person when someone needed reliable care. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, turtles, snakes, fish, and hamsters. I am a former Petco employee so I have seen, cared, and handled them all. I adapt easily to each pet’s routine and personality, and I always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I can take care of our furry friend on days that become available to me. I have an accurate schedule set up two weeks in advance with plenty of time to check up on meet and greets. For 🐶: I have experience with crate trained dogs as well as house bound only dogs. I make sure that the pet’s physical health is stimulated by taking them on walks and playing games with them. I adjust to their schedule and their likes/dislikes in the home. I have experience with dogs that weren’t allowed in certain rooms or outside without a leash and I would make sure of that. For 🐱: these furry friends thrive on routine and familiarity, so I focus on keeping everything consistent and stress-free. When caring for cats in their own home, I stick to their regular feeding schedule, refresh water bowls, and keep litter boxes clean. I spend time with them based on their personality whether that’s interactive play or just being nearby for company. I also make sure their space stays tidy and cozy so they feel secure while you’re away. For all other friends 🐠🐢🐹🦜🐓🐰🦎🐍: I understand how important it is to keep even the smallest pets feeling safe and cared for while you are away. I always follow your care instructions closely to keep their routines consistent, whether that means feeding fish and turtles on schedule, refreshing water for rabbits and hamsters, making sure birds and chickens have a clean and comfortable space, checking heat lamps for reptiles, etc I pay attention to the little details that matter, like maintaining proper water / temperature levels for aquatic pets, cleaning cages and habitats thoroughly, and giving each animal the right balance of attention and gentle handling based on their needs. My goal is always to create a calm and secure environment so every pet, no matter how small, stays healthy and happy until you return. 🪴: I also offer plant care, keeping your plants watered and healthy so they thrive until you return.

About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.

About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Joshua Tree

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Joshua Tree is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 682 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joshua Tree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
