About: Hi, I’m Matthew! Having grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, pet care is second nature to me. I treat every animal with the highest level of love, attention, and respect, ensuring they stay happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer reliable dog walking, quick drop-in visits, and dedicated overnight care in your home. Whether your dog needs high-energy outdoor play, consistent feeding routines, or a cozy companion to stay with them through the night, I tailor my care directly to their unique personality and needs. I pride myself on prompt communication, sending frequent photo updates, and keeping your home neat and secure. Your pets will always receive family-level care and undivided affection while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day and week. Whether you need drop-in visits, energetic dog walks, or overnight stay-overs at your home, I dedicate undivided time and focus to following your exact routine without rushing. When staying at or visiting your home, safety and security are my top priorities. I strictly follow all entry, door-locking, and home care instructions to keep your space secure. I maintain a clean environment, follow feeding and medication schedules precisely, keep dogs securely leashed during walks, and send detailed regular updates and photos for total peace of mind.
“Rebecca communicated clearly with us throughout the process. Misty fell in love with her! I was worried she’d be crying at the door. Nope, she was asleep on Rebecca’s lap instead. What a relief. We look forward to return visits.”
“I’m afraid to say too many good things about Kevin because I am never going to be able to book him again! He is an absolute king when it comes to senior dogs. My dog is relatively easy, but as she is older, she can definitely have her moments. Kevin showed incredible patience, care, compassion, and love. I cannot recommend him enough. He is a great match for my “Fluff”. We will be booking again!”
“Rhondee is fantastic and trustworthy! She is very respectful of our house and property. She always arrived on time and followed through on everything we asked. House was left in the same condition as when we left. Dogs and cat were well-cared for; we were delighted with our choice in Rhondee. She did great by us. Certainly reasonable; did not take advantage of the holidays for house sitting.”
“Dola is our BEST Dog sitter in the Coachella Valley! She takes such great care and has wonderful patience with our nearly 17 year old, treating her like our own, and for overnight visits! We cannot wait to hire her again! And if that is not enough kuddos, Dola was recommended to us by a dear friend who shows dogs. Thank You Dola!”
“Elaine was beyond fantastic. We have a 9-month-old Westie that we have not left with anyone since we got her at Thanksgiving. We were very nervous trying to find a suitable person to watch Cotton. Not only would we be leaving her for the first time, but our trip to Europe was for a month. Elaine went out of her way to assure us and ease Cotton into a smooth transition. Elaine sent us many cute pictures during our journey, and we could see by the pictures that Cotton had found a second home. Now, if we have to travel again, we know we have found a wonderful person to care for our Girl. We highly recommend Elaine.”
“We just worked with Susan for the first time, and we won't use anyone else whenever she is available. She did a great job with our two cats during an overnight stay on short notice. The cats can be a challenge because one is a diabetic needing insulin injections, and the other is a very picky eater. Both cats were calm and happy when we came home, and the house was in perfect order. All of our instructions were followed perfectly, except Susan stayed later than we had asked because she wanted to be sure the cats were safe and we got home on time despite bad weather. We recommend Susan very, very highly.”
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.
“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”
“Our dogs loved Kimberly from the moment that they met here. She is truly the best sitter for two dogs with way different personalities. She kept in touch with darling photos, and the dogs were sorry to see her leave. Our house was spotless and the bed linens were changed. We are so grateful to be able to leave our four legged family with such a wonderful kind person. We can't thank her enough.”
“Mackenzie is a doll and my beagles love her. They were so relaxed and happy when I came home and well taken care of. I received lots of pics and updates and my home was left perfect. 🤩”
“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”
“Renee was absolutely wonderful with our 8 month old puppy. Rylie looked happy and very content in ever photo that she sent. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a competent, loving and considerate pet sitter!”
“Tony was amazing with our Sheepadoodle Califern. We ran into a pinch over the Thanksgiving holiday and needed to find coverage quickly and Tony delivered. He was flexible with Cali's needs and sent me updates with pictures during the stay. We joke that our dog is like our child and we're not kidding that we would talk about her nightly if she were ok and missing us. Having communication and pictures helped us know she was in a good space. I'd highly recommend boarding your dogs with Tony. He was awesome. --Tom”
“My large rambunctious dog loves Joy. Joy walked and snuggled both my boys. Received daily walk emails, updates and pictures on a small medical issue that Joy monitored for us and lots of pictures.”
“Allen is great. He kept us updated daily on Molly and played lots of games with her all day, she loves the pool and he encouraged swimming. Booked again for the next holiday already”
“Jonathan was absolutely amazing. He took wonderful care of both of our dogs, and it was clear from the start how much he truly loves animals. The house was impeccable when we returned, and our pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. In fact, they now run to the front gate every day, waiting for him to come back! We will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shadow Ridge Creek
Mona was fantastic! She stayed in touch with me while was gone and provided me with updates, videos and photos of my kids. As a very nervous dog dad Mona made me feel very comfortable while I was gone. I would hire her back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and dependable dog/house sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shadow Ridge Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shadow Ridge Creek on Rover is $64.2 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 531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shadow Ridge Creek. 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 Shadow Ridge Creek 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 Shadow Ridge Creek 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 Shadow Ridge Creek 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.
