“Crystal. Wow. What can I say. Amazing person and cat/house sitter. We had an urgent immediate need for help and she came to our house within the hour to stay for 4 nights. The cats loved her, she sent photos and updates, and our house was tidier than how we left it. Perfection!”

“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.”

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

“Erica was amazing. We found her last minute when our faithful pet sitter was out of town, and she quickly stepped in to help. She came to our home, met little Missy, and took wonderful care of her. Erica kept us updated with photos and let us know how Missy was doing throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: I've grown up caring for dogs in my own home and for my siblings, from strong, active breeds to smaller companion dogs. That experience has made me attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dog care. As an online college student, my schedule is very flexible. I can adjust to meet pets' needs for walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, making sure they always get attention and consistency. My home is very pet friendly. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a crate available for dogs who are used to one, and plenty of space for them to sleep comfortably, they can sleep in my own room with me, or if they prefer privacy, I have two guest rooms just for them. For exercise, I can take them on walks around our quiet, spacious neighborhood to ensure they get plenty of activity and fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from a very young age, as of now I’m currently working off and on with some family friends and overnight sitting their pups! I have other great qualities as well such as the ability to clean, communication, organization and much more. It would be an honor to watch after your fur babies or any kind of animal for that matter! I have had plenty of pets in my lifetime and it’s a joy to watch them thrive. To be able to help out would be amazing, keep in touch! I also drive as well! As of now I am working part time/as needed but so far I’ve only really dog sat during weekends. Since it’s summer and I just graduated, I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pups to keep them healthy and in shape while you’re away! I have a huge backyard with lots of grass, a doggy run, and a pool! My house is decently large and I have a doggy named obi who’s a golden doodle and is very friendly!

About: Hi, I’m Marc! Growing up in Southern California, I’ve always had a deep connection with the outdoors and animals. I have years of experience caring for pets, from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. I understand that each pet has unique needs and personalities, and I tailor my care to make sure they feel loved and comfortable. What Sets Me Apart: • Experience with All Ages: Whether it’s a playful pup needing extra exercise and training or a senior dog requiring gentle care, I have the skills and patience to cater to their specific needs. • Outdoor Enthusiast: I love surfing, snowboarding, and golfing, and I’m excited to share my passion for the outdoors with your furry friend. Expect plenty of engaging and stimulating walks! • Reliable and Trustworthy: Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide consistent, reliable care, ensuring your pet always feels secure and well-loved. • Training Skills: I have experience with basic obedience training, helping to reinforce good behaviors and make walks enjoyable for both your pet and you. • Special Needs Care: From administering medication to providing extra attention and comfort, I am well-versed in caring for pets with special requirements. Why Choose Me? I know how important your pet is to you, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, and enriching experience that leaves tails wagging and owners at ease. Let’s make your dog’s day a great one! See you soon! Marc Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Here’s how I incorporate pet care into my schedule: Daily Routine: • Morning: I start the day with refreshing morning walks or play sessions, ensuring pets get their exercise and potty breaks early. I also take care of feeding and any necessary grooming tasks. • Midday: I provide midday check-ins for pets needing extra attention, including bathroom breaks, playtime, or a quick walk. • Afternoon: Afternoon activities often include longer walks, interactive play, and training sessions tailored to each pet’s needs. • Evening: Evenings are for winding down with relaxed walks, feeding, and ensuring pets are comfortable and ready for a restful night. Weekly Routine: • Weekdays: I maintain a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding, and play sessions. For pets staying with me, I ensure they have a stable environment and plenty of love and attention. • Weekends: Weekends offer more flexibility for longer adventures, like hikes or beach outings, providing extra enrichment and exercise for the pets in my care. By integrating pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that every pet enjoys a balanced, happy, and fulfilling experience. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. **Safety:** I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed and free from hazards. In my home, I provide secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest and play. During visits to clients’ homes, I carefully follow any specific safety instructions provided, such as securing gates or monitoring interactions with other pets. **Trust:** Building a strong bond with both pets and their owners is essential. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines, providing consistent, loving care that pets can rely on. Clear communication with owners ensures that everyone feels confident and informed. **Environment:** I create a calm, stimulating environment tailored to each pet. This includes regular exercise, mental stimulation through play and training, and plenty of affection. Whether at my home or the client’s, pets enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere where they feel secure and happy. By focusing on these core principles, I provide exceptional care that ensures pets are safe, well-cared for, and thriving in their environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinyon Pines

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinyon Pines. 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 Pines 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 Pines 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 Pines 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 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.

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

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