“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!!”
“Karaleah took care of our dogs on Thursday and Friday while we were busy with wedding events, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so loving, sweet, and gentle with both of them. Her calm and kind presence made such a difference, especially during a hectic time. She was patient, attentive, and made sure our pups were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own!”
“Rhondee was fabulous! She came prepared and asked lots of great questions. She sent lots of pictures while we were gone and wanted to make sure she knew exactly when we were coming back so that the dogs wouldn't have to wait too long before we got back! She was super friendly! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, horses, and an entire 'ark' of farm animals. I offer pet sitting in my own home. I can take more than one dog if they are from the same owner. I currently do not have pets so my time is entirely devoted to your pet. I also offer care for your home should you need someone to drop in to water plants, view property, and gather mail. Happy to meet you and your pup for introductory welcome. "I currently enjoy a fully flexible schedule, making me available whenever you need me most — including last minute requests, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need recurring visits or spontaneous coverage, I am ready and happy to help." "Your pet receives attentive, loving care in my home with regular walks and potty breaks. I follow your exact routines, schedules, and habits while adding an extra layer of love."
“Renee was great! Very prompt and attentive and took care of our cat Snacks for a few days. He was in excellent hands and we got great photos while we were out and status reports. Definitely will call on Renee again to house sit our furball!”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I am an animal lover and love to meet little friends. I have always been around both dogs and cats and know how hard it can be to leave them when going on trips, working, etc. I tend to be the person to babysit or drop in on friends and family’s pets when they’re away. I work Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM. My evenings are free after work. Weekend days I am available most of the day when I am scheduled to care for pets. I can feed, bath, walk, and clean up after dogs and cats. I am open to cleaning a litter box and any accidents that may happen in a home.
“Allen did a yeoman’s job of caring for my two big dogs, one of whom is a serious challenge: aggressive and scared. Allen managed him with patience and creativity. I really appreciate Allen’s continuous communication with me and his willingness to try different approaches to calm my dog. Allen never gave up. I recommend him whole-heartedly as a sitter!”
About: I've raised dogs and tortoises all my life, and currently trying out chickens. Volunteering for the local Future Farmers of America chapter, I also get to interact with barn critters like pigs, sheep, goats, and steer. Also most recently employed at a local pet hotel pre-covid. I found Rover when my former pitbull, Cali went blind in old age & I needed extra help caring for her. It was a great help. I am a full time college student attending Cal Poly Pomona. During the semester I'll be checking in on your pets on the way to and from school. I have full availability during the summer and winter breaks. I currently service Pinyon Pines, Palm Desert, Indio, Pomona, and the surrounding areas. Last minute bookings or bookings outside my regular service area will be considered, with an additional fee. Exercise makes us all feel better. Happy to take your pup on a walk or even hiking if you really want them to get tired out.
“Don was great with both my dog, Neko, and my Cat, Teri. He sent videos regularly and keep me informed about Neko and especially how Teri were doing. Also, Don went out of his way to care for Teri, my cat. Teri has kidney disease and requires hydration with a saline solution every day. Don was wonderful with Teri by injecting the solution under his skin. This was accomplished by placing a needle under Teri's loose skin and slowly allowing the saline solution to flow under his skin. Don is very personable and I recommend him very highly for caring for your pet.”
“Margie is a great house/dog sitter. My two Goldendoodles are happy when I come home after a a few days traveling. She is so conscientious and caring with my fur-babies. I love her communication and photos she sends. It makes all the difference knowing your pets are well cared for and loved. I highly recommend her and will always try to get her on my future trips. Also my home is well cared for.”
“Samira took great care of our 14 year old dog with health problems, and our home while we were away on vacation. She is thoughtful and responsible. Will book with her again.”

She was super kind & friendly & I could tell the dogs really liked her immediately ! She sent me regular updates and pics & the pups always seemed happy . My home was also immaculate when I returned . Thank you Shayna! Hopefully Kobe & Addie will see you again soon!”
“Tanya watched our boys for 3 days and while they are good one is a very energetic 6 month old boxer. She sent us pictures every day and updated us on how they were doing. When we got home they were happy and healthy. I would use Tanya again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Mara was so good with my 3 girls. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day to update me. My dogs loved her. She even put Bluey on the TV for them to watch. I will definitely be booking Mara again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinyon Crest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 562 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.
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 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 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.
