“Letitia was the best!! Our dogs were so happy and the house looked perfect! Chica our Chihuahua doesn’t let anyone but my wife and I touch her, by the end of the second day, Chica came to Letitia and let her scratch her back!! Chica won’t let family members that she has seen for 9 years touch her! Amazing”
“Jaxon was communicative, punctual, reliable, and wonderful with my dog, Addie. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure everything I asked was taken care of. She kept me updated while I was away, which gave me peace of mind knowing Addie was in good hands. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, and it was clear that Addie felt comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Jaxon to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“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!”
About: I offer loving pet care including walks, feeding, and playtime. With years of experience, I'm home-based and have part time availability for personalized, attentive daily care. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I make time daily for walks, play, feeding, and care ensuring pets get consistent love and attention. In clients’ homes, I stick to their pets routine providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection to ensure comfort, happiness, and consistent, loving care.
“Loved working with Alysabeth!! She spent the week with our pups in our home and treated them as if they were hers. Lots of love, attention to feeding schedule, great communication, and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her.”
“I am so happy we had Cadence dog sit for us! She is so professional and sent us updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving her with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask Cadence to sit for us again; she was fantastic. Our dog was clearly a happy gal!”
“Rachel did such a fantastic job taking care of my pup! I felt at ease the entire time. She sent lots of updates and pictures/videos of my Ellie, she even brought her some treats and a toy!”
“Marx took great care of my senior citizen pup while I was away and communicated effectively when he had questions, or needing clarification. I also got sick while on my travels and Marx so graciously was able to stay another day so I could recover and enjoy the remainder of my trip. My dog seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. I would definitely use and recommend Marx again to others.”
About: I grew up around dogs. I cannot remember a time in my life in which I did not own a dog. I love dogs with all my heart. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies to dog sit and care and love them. I am also usually tasked with training their dogs to do basic commands. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all breeds. I have a couple years of experience volunteering at my local animal shelter, and even have an adorable Valley Bulldog mix as a result of volunteering. I could not resist adopting at least one of my shelter babies! I also currently own a black lab. I love my dogs sooo much, and I will take care of yours as I do mine. I work in the education field, so my schedule is FULLY OPEN from June throughout July. When school is in session, I am available from 4:30pm-10pm and open availability on weekends. I will be there to give your dog whatever care and attention they need, whether that is walking them for however long they are used to, feeding them or giving water, taking them outside to play, etc.
About: I’ve lived with several types of dogs for all my whole life. Multiply at the same time from family members to mine and I have learned how different breeds have different personalities and how even when they’re different they all just need patience and love and space to grow. making sure that they are paid correctly fed correctly to healthy owner wants it to be. I’ve pet it for many of my family members and have always taken care of my dogs so I know with puppies sometimes you have to help potty train and teach trick tricks as well as as for senior animals or dogs you need to be very specific where they sleep how they’re bathe how they are overall taking care of as well if they need any pills to be incorporated with their food. As well as their meals need to be made special that can be arranged. Like many college students most of my time is usually at home studying or the library so my schedule is very flexible, whether you need me to go to you’re home at at any time with enough time in advance. I have a fenced house so the animal can’t get out and then a small wooden fence that is if the dog wants to be separated from my other dogs but I’m much more comfortable making sure the pet is in their own home due to my dogs because they aren’t friendly with others pets
About: I’ve got over 10 years of experience working with both dogs and cats. As an owner of 2 dogs and a cat as well as a Biology major and rescue dog advocate, I’ve had plenty of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and temperaments. My first pet was a kitten and over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of experience training and taking care of her. Realizing the difference between the two animals and being able to bring them together is a skill I pride myself on. I work 15 mins from home and have availability to care for my pets at all times outside of 10-4. With my care you can expect at least 3 walks a day with one being more focused on play time to get their energy out. I have a gentle Samoyed who is very good with anxious dogs. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park and am minutes away from parks where your dog can walk and play.
About: I have a lot of experience caring for animals and sitting. Working on training pets. I will let you know when I will have training available. I have an open schedule and plan on putting all my time until this for now. I live in the high desert in a gated community with a lot of land for pets to roam free. I also have a room available for them to be inside aswell. Live in a big house in a gated community. With enough space inside and outside for either type of pet. Will have a routine for pets.
About: I moved recently from Victorville to Pinon Hills. FOR PEOPLE IN THE VICTORVILLE AREA, I OFFER TO PICK UP DOGS AT THE SUPER TARGET ON MAIN STREET. I have a house on the hills that has a small/medium size fenced backyard. This is the perfect place for small and medium dogs to have fun. I am always home with the dogs, taking care of them is my full time job! I love them. I treat the dogs I keep like part of my family, they receive a lot of attention, they stay with me inside the house with times outside to walk and play under my supervision, they don't stay outside in the heat or in the cold and they sleep inside the house at night. I have a soft spot for older dogs :-) I also offer drop-in visits or house sitting depending on my availability and can take care of dogs, cats and farm animals. I offer a discount for extended stays. I'm home most of the day to take care of the pets. When I go out to run errands, I keep the dogs separately if I have several dogs at home. I have a fenced backyard and I have 2 old and friendly chihuahuas. I can crate dogs if needed at night. I have dog beds and blankets on the couch to allow the doggies to sit with us.
About: I studied nursing at university, which has given me strong observation skills, patience, and a sense of responsibility when caring for others — including pets. I’m familiar with basic pet safety, health awareness, and what signs to watch for in daily care. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 14 years old and am very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, trimming nails, and monitoring appetite and behavior changes. I also have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including regular walks, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and emotional comfort are for pets, especially those who may feel anxious when away from home. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and relaxed. I care for both cats and dogs with patience, love, and close attention. I am on vacation, I have plenty of time to play with puppies and kittens, I usually stay at home, and can accompany your pets at any time I have a fenced yard and a cat to accompany your pet, giving him plenty of room to move around. I will not restrict the pet's freedom. If you want your pet to be in a cage, I can also accept the cage you bring yourself.
“Thank this lady for taking good care of my fur babies. I didnt even have to think about anything. She took care of it all and sent me Pictures and updates. Great job”
“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of our pup! Jill dog sat for us in our home and when we got back, our pup was in great spirits and home was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Jill!”
About: I have taken care of pets basically my entire life, of course I have had to learn and improve my skills from when I was younger. My family members have many pets which they rely on me to take care of when they are unable to. I am also going to school for a degree in biological sciences in hopes to find a career as a vet tech or anything which will allow me to work closely with animals. :) I am a 4th year biological science major at UC Merced. I hope to pursue a career which will allow me to work with animals closely while also spending time outdoors. I also am very interested in learning about animal husbandry and pet care. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings, perfect for when dogs need to go potty! My services are mostly in clients’ homes because I have two cats and a small house which will not be big enough for larger animals like dogs. The way I care for pets in clients’ homes will be up to the client themselves as every pet parent has different ground rules and boundaries for their fur babies. I will do the basics like feeding and playing but will refrain from most other things unless requested to avoid stepping over boundaries, especially in other people’s homes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Phelan on Rover is $31.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phelan. 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 Phelan 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 Phelan 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 Phelan 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.

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.
