“Elaine was absolutely wonderful. We’ve never had a Rover before so we were a bit nervous and she made sure to spend extra time up front with us and made us super comfortable. She house sat for us and took amazing care of our Shep/Border Collie, Chickens, and pet rats! All of which were given the love and care as if they were her own. Our house was exactly as we left it plus we got multiple daily updates while we were away. No need to look any further, make sure to book Elaine for your furry and feathered friends!”
About: Howdy! I'm Sade (pronounced as shaw-day). I'm a down-to-earthy human who loves and respects nature and all animals (including bugs)! 🪲 Although I do have experience in caring for doggos, I have a special connection with feline friends! See Cat Care details for more deets! :)) Currently, I'm available throughout the week from 8am to 5pm. On weekends, I'm available 5pm to 930pm. This is subject to change in late October. Others have defined me as hyper-vigilant and empathetic. This can be a blessing and a curse but when it comes to caring for pets, it's definitely more of a blessing! I'm keenly aware of environmental surroundings and identifying unsafe details/ possible hazards (plastic bags, toxic houseplants, etc.), and ensuring that critters are safe in their homes. I also honor rules/ standards/ boundaries set by others, **though I will deny providing services if I feel what is being asked of me is unethical/unsafe**. Overall, I understand that each fur-baby is unique and requires custom care and attention.
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“Cambria took awesome care of our two cats while we were away! She’s professional and responsive, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Our cats look forward to seeing her again!”
About: Since I can remember I grew up with all types of animals around me, I’ve had horses, bunnies, turtles, birds, but especially dogs and cats. I have a love for animals like no other and I treat each and every one like my own. I have open availability monday, saturday, sunday, friday- I have evening availability Tuesday-Thursday after 4:30 pm, I can stay nights, but whatever you need, don’t be afraid to ask and I sure can try to accommodate! I go with whatever the client wants, their pet their say, I offer walks, drop ins, cleanup, feeding, whatever you need i’m there! I am very easy to communicate with.
“Susana is a fantastic sitter!! She is very attentive, puntual, and paid abosulte attention to my pup's needs while she was with them. I really appreciate here flexibility and her willingness to get to know my pup's quirks and cater to their needs. I would highly reccomnd her to family and friends as i can tell she also has a passion for pets.”
About: I love all animals and though I am a BIG time cat lover, I’ve also been lucky enough to raise multiple puppy litters with my family. I have my own kitty and puppy now, and have been taking care of family friends animals as a side job for roughly 4 years now! I am currently a full-time student annd work on-call for nursing, so I have ample time on my hands to hangout with all the furry cuties you have. I take lots of pride in making sure all pets are safe and cared for, and I’m more than comfortable with crates, fences, etc. to ensure their well-being.
About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.
“Jeanett was absolutely amazing. My pup absolutely adores her. She took him on plenty of walk and provided me with many updates and pictures throughout my trip. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Ayla did an amazing job watching my dog. She took great care of him at my house, kept me updated, and he was super happy and relaxed when I got back. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!
“It was immediately obvious that Amy has had dogs in her entire life. Both of my pups immediately loved her as if they had been good buddies forever. DOGS JUST KNOW! Jojo, the 1 year old Cocker Spaniel, always freaks out with new people, but not with Amy. The 6 1/2 year old German Shepherd, Princess, acted like she had known Amy her whole life.”
“I loved how attentive and communicative he was with looking out for my senior dog. He has a hard time with new people and it made me happy to see he was so good on his second day with Martin. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

Abbagayle is so awesome! Her communication was amazing while we were gone and she took care of our babies like they were her own, we have three high energy Shepard/doberman mixes and she gave them play time and the attention they needed. So appreciative of her! We will definitely contact her again for future pet sitting 🐾
They did a great job of watching my dogs for me in my home. The dogs loved them immediately and wanted to spend the entire time playing or cuddled up with them. They were also really quick to respond to my last minute message requesting a booking. I really appreciate them being able to watch them and doing such a great job. I would book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Yucaipa is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,885 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yucaipa. 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 Yucaipa 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 Yucaipa 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 Yucaipa 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 Yucaipa. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
