We were so grateful to have Chantelle stay with our dogs, even if for just a night. She was responsive and communicative throughout the stay (and before and after). And we hope she’ll be available again!!!

Byanka is a fantastic sitter! Offered to meet Winnie beforehand as he is skeptical of strangers. Communicative and prompt. Will definitely reach out to Byanka again for sitting.

If you came over per my late request, please send it to me. I was driving all day until four, so I had very little time to talk on the phone. FYI, I saw oil in the driveway. I thought it was mine at first, but I would get yours checked if you can. Your car could be experiencing an oil/ATF leak. Have a great Holiday, and may you get a lot of gifts! I am sure I'll be contacting you soon.

Francis is simply awesome! He sent daily pics and updates letting me know that both my cat and dog were in expert hands. In addition to being an excellent sitter, my house was spotless and cleaner than I left it when I got home. I highly recommend Francis and would definitely rebook him.

About: Currently servicing Twentynine palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley. Since I was a child I have been a lover of all animals and was always caring for and rescuing anything that needed help. With that I bring 30+ years of on-hand pet care experience, including 8 years of experience as a veterinary surgical asst. for an orthopedic surgeon, that included working in our connected emergency center. Some of my own dogs have been rescues from neglectful/abusive situations. So, I understand the time, patience and care it takes to build trust with all animals. Currently, I also have a parrot and previously raised 2 bearded dragons, amongst many other animals. I just recently moved to the area and am looking to turn my love of animals into a way to help others have peace of mind about their pets while they are at work or enjoying their free time. What sets me apart from others are both my personal and professional experiences caring for pets, with everything from dogs and cats to reptiles. These experiences have taught me to be calm, gentle and attentive in all situations and given the knowledge and comfort to work with a wide variety of animals from young pets to seniors. This includes the administration of various types and forms of medication, syringe feeding and grooming. If you are searching for someone to care for a pet that is not a cat or dog, please reach out so we can determine if I could be a great fit for your exotic pets or otherwise as well. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for as long as I can remember and I always give them the love and care that I would give my own pets because it’s very important to me that all animals feel safe and loved. I do have a larger SUV that can be used to take your fur baby to the vet should the need arise. I offer basic pet grooming services in your home which would include; bathing, drying, brushing, ear cleaning, nail trims (just ask and we can discuss details- I have this listed at $40 as a general price but this could adjust up or down based on size of pet and extent of services). I do free meet and greets prior to taking on new pets so we can make sure everyone involved is comfortable and it’s a great fit for all prior to your pets first time alone with me. As a loving pet mom myself, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy people to leave your pets with. I can assure you I would love and care for your pets like they were my own family, so I hope you pick me as your pets new care buddy :) I look forward to meeting you and your little 4 legged babies!! I am new to the area and currently not working, so this allows my schedule to be very open and flexible for all of your pet care needs. I’m open Monday through Friday from early morning to evening and some Sat/Sun based on dates. We will work together to discuss any and all specific needs your pets may have and any other preferences for care. This will include feeding schedules, any special needs or behavior quirks I need to be aware of, etc. As a cautious pet parent myself, you can rest assured I will never feed your pet anything they shouldn’t have and will always ensure house rules are followed. Currently, I offer house sitting but this does not include overnight stays at the moment. However, I can be available if necessary to stay all day with your pet if they need more than a drop in (for example, special needs or senior pets that need more full time care while you’re at work all day, frequent meds, potty breaks every hour, etc) Just ask and we can discuss details! I love being outside so I can provide all the walks and outdoor play time needed. I of course will provide photo updates of our time together along with any other needed updates upon my arrival and departure. My little 14 lb chihuahua mix loves making new friends, so if your dog is friendly with other dogs and wants a companion on walks or otherwise, we can discuss my little guy tagging along if that’s something you would want.

About: I have always had dogs in my home, up until a few months ago. I have worked at an animal shelter and have experience with shelter animals (dogs and cats) with walking, medicating, cleaning, grooming and socializing difficult animals. I have cared for older animals and younger animals and know what things to watch out for to ensure the safety of the animal is met. I am also currently volunteering at the Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter. I am completely available 7 days a week! The only priorities I have are my own dog so overnight stays are unlikely for me, but I am open to discussing. I am very practiced in animal care so if you hire me, I can bring some comfort to you so you can feel your pets will be looked after and cared for properly and lovingly.

Mary has quite the perfect set up for pet boarding! We left Roo with her for a night. Her doggy sonic is so playful and sweet. Perfect play mate for any puppers who stays over. Mary sent awesome videos and pictures, and was happy to accommodate specific meal time. We have been using Mary’s pet services weekly and consistently have wonderful outcomes. She is someone I know we can trust our 4 legged family member with. And Roo loves her! Can’t wait to have more play date opportunities with Sonic.

About: I've been a dog sitter for almost five years , have experience in making your dog feel at home and not stressed out. Your dog will want to come back, and my home will be their second home. I telework , and and home most of the time. I live in the second largest city in the county with lots of dog parks. My home is perfect for dogs, I do not have carpet so if your dog has an accident I can clean it up very easily. Also your dog is welcomed to sit on any part of my home, unless instructed by owner otherwise.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through regularly dog sitting and walking my two grand dogs. Spending so much time with them has helped me become comfortable with dogs of different personalities and routines. I pay close attention to their behavior and can recognize when something seems wrong or when they may be in distress. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment. I'm currently working full-time Monday- Friday, but I could be available in the evenings for drop-ins. I'm available on weekends for dog sitting, drop-ins and house sitting. I can provide dog sitting in the clients home so dogs can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Staying in their own environment helps maintain their normal routine and can reduce stress while their owners are away.

About: I have so much love and patience for all kinds of animals. I grew up with 8 Saint Bernards. Had birds as well and an Appaloosa horse. I currently live in a home with 4 cats ( one of them is my own baby), 5 birds and a snake. I am comfortable with any type of animal. I am a caregiver through IHSS with Aging and Adult Services. I care for people who need extra help. I am wanting to do farm work as well. Would love to get hands on experience and learn the ways to care for farm animals. Even though I am a caregiver I will make time for your furbaby. What ever it may be I will accommodate your needs. Your baby is and will be in safe hands. I will be caring for them in your home. Whether its a daily check up or overnight. First thing is that I will not let your baby out where they are not allowed to go. I do feeding schedules and also make sure there is time for play and cuddle moments. I also am very comfortable administrating medicine.

About: Hello, my name is Seana, my experience comes from having grown up with pets of many kinds, both my own and others. I can feed, bathe, clean up after, walk and play with your dog. There may be times where I may need to bring another dog with me, so if you could please let me know how your dog is with others, then I can arrange accordingly. To contact me I would appreciate a phone call to arrange a meet up. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your pet soon. I am currently job hunting, so I am always home with plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. I only ask to arrange a meet and greet before a service is booked. I live in a house on 5 acres of unfenced land. I do have a cat of my own so overnights will have to be at my home, otherwise I am flexible.

Chantelle took lovely care of our beloved kitty who needed extra kindness having recently been neutered. We spoil our kitty so wanted someone to stay overnights as well and Chantelle did and sent lots of cute pics of our kitty throughout our trip away. Would highly recommend her. She knows lots about cats and how to take great care of them which was comforting while we were away. Will definitely ask her to kitty sit again 🐈‍⬛ 🥰

Taylor was amazing with my German Shepard summer. I was so worried considering my dog can be iffy but she felt so comfortable being with Taylor at home … she was even being goofy with her !! Taylor is very communicative and provides pictures and updates on the pup. She was clean and trustworthy I recommend her to give you peace of mind while you are away from your pups. We hope that if we need another sitter we can work with her again :) . For reference my dog is 6yrs old and picky but she did amazing and I felt safe having Taylor take her on walks.she went above and beyond putting in effort to make sure summer was happy, eating and walked .

Kylee took great care of our fur babies! She updated us often to ease our worries and was super respectful of our space. She went above and beyond! Our one cat is shy and was hiding so she went out of her way to put food and water near his hiding spot. Highly recommend Kylee for your pet care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Twentynine Palms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Twentynine Palms on Rover is $53.43 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 199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Twentynine Palms. 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 Twentynine Palms 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 Twentynine Palms 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 Twentynine Palms 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
