“Jessica was amazing. From the meet and greet on, our 80# male pitbull LOVED her! Most people shy away from Reggie, for good reason, he is not nice with new people. Jessica within a few minutes had Reggie's attention and he loved her. We got updates everyday with pictures, which put our minds at ease. We came home to a very happy and healthy boy. The house was immaculate, very hard to tell someone was living there 24/7 with our pup!! I HIGHLY recommend Jessica for house sitting/pet sitting. She will be hearing from us very soon!!”

“Jordan was a total delight. She is very warm, caring, and trustworthy. She took care of my two cats for five overnight stays. My cats are very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Jordan sent cute photos of them daily. She also took care of my house and left it spotless. I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely ask her take care of my cats and home again. Thank you, Jordan!”

About: My uncle used to own a boarding and grooming facility in Tucson, Arizona and I worked for him. This included feeding dogs and cats as well as cleaning litter boxes and kennels. I also administered medication’s. Since being in the Coachella Valley, I’ve also done pet/house sitting for a family that had four dogs and three cats & another family that had four dogs & a blind orange cat. I have one small and spunky multi poo that has to have three medications that she will not chew so I have to physically administer it with a feeding syringe. I have one cat now, but at one time I had five that were all rescues and lived out their old age with us. I work full time, but I’m able to request time off if I get to pet/house sit. I’m also available before & after work & on my days off. I will carefully follow all instructions for the pet & home I will sit for. Everything from dietary needs, medication and walking. I will even bathe your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Vic! I have 4 years of hands on animal care experience, including working in a shelter medical department and caring for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with medication administration, feeding routines, senior pets, nervous animals, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

I’m very attentive when caring for pets and always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I pay close attention to appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’m used to working with all kinds of personalities and will take the time to learn what makes each pet feel secure. I’ll follow their routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and calm, and treat your pets like they’re my own ❤️

About: There's nothing quite like having a dog in the house! I genuinely enjoy their companionship, their individual personalities, and all the little things that make each one special. When your dog stays with me, they're my only guest. That means plenty of personal attention, affection, and a comfortable place to feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have companionship throughout the day. Whether they love walks, playtime, relaxing on the sofa, or simply being nearby, I'm happy to follow the routine that makes them feel happiest. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in loving hands while you're away. I'll follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines, and send photos and updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away. My home is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. I've also completed Rover's enhanced background check for your peace of mind. I welcome a meet-and-greet before a first stay so we can get acquainted and make sure your dog feels comfortable. I also offer house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own familiar surroundings. One dog. One home. Lots of love and attention. SCHEDULE I currently enjoy a fully flexible schedule, making me available whenever you need me most — including last minute requests, weekends, and holidays if I am available. Whether you need recurring visits or spontaneous coverage, I am ready and happy to help. ENVIRONMENT Because your dog is my only boarding guest and I can pay close attention to the small things - its normal routines, appetite, energy, behavior, sleeping preferences and the signals that tell me whether it is completely comfortable and settled. Feeding, walking, medication and other established routines are followed carefully and consistently.

“Joe was great! My dog took to him very quickly at the meet and greet but after a last minute change of plans to bring her, he was able to pivot and care for my cats instead. I really appreciated his flexibility and when I returned I realized he was also wonderful w/ cats! I didn’t get any cattitude from them at all. I received pics and updates regularly and came home to a clean happy house. I’d use him again in a heartbeat.”

About: I recently inherited my aunt‘s dog after she passed away. She wanted me to have Buddy that’s his name (he is the dog in my profile pic♥️)because I am so good with animals. He is a senior dog and I’ve rejuvenated him. We walk every day, I make him fresh, fresh, food I play with him. He’s super happy and it’s like he’s got a second lease on life a pep in his step. This is what I can provide to dogs that I watch or sit or walk. Caring loving attentive care until their mom or daddy returns.🐶 I wake up around 5:30 am and give my dog a walk. I make sure we are up bright and early so that we can get a walk in before the pavement is too hot for him. Then I come home and feed him his breakfast. Throughout the day we s play or if I leave and when I get back I will chase him around our couch. Buddy loves that! I am very gentle and follow the rules to a T. If there’s any instructions or preferences on treatment or care for the animal, always make sure that’s my number one priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinyon Crest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 532 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinyon Crest. 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 Pinyon Crest 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 Pinyon Crest 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pinyon Crest 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinyon Crest. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
