“Katie was amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet before which helped us feel super comfortable leaving our pups. She maintained great communication and sent several updates throughout the day. If available, we would love to have Katie dog sit again :)”
“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.”
“Our german shepherd Aggy had such a fun time with Juliann during her house sitting stay! Aggy felt so comfortable with her and it was great to know she was taken such good care of while we we gone for the week. Thank you Juliann!!”
About: Hey there! I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or take them out when you're too busy. I live with my own little crew of three cats and one dog and have fostered and cared for other animals over the years. I'm located in Yucca Valley on the mesa and have experience working and volunteering with cat and dog rescue groups, including handling large breeds and recently rescued dogs. I can provide walking, pet-sitting in your home, and active play for any size dog. I'm highly responsible, attentive, and punctual, and sensitive to pets with special needs or quirks. I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!
“We are so grateful for Holly’s diligent and attentive care of our two dogs, one of whom is very elderly. You can tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own and we feel so lucky to have found her. She was communicative, reliable and considerate about our home and systems. We will definitely continue to reach out to her for future care! We highly, highly recommend her for your beloved pups.”
“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.”
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: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“We LOVE Emily. She was super sweet and willing to come meet Miller beforehand and took the time to listen our routines and play with Miller. She was on time and extremely communicative which we appreciated so much. We hope to see Emily again soon!!”
“Liz is incredibly loving and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog has separation anxiety and she was well aware of his possible behavior and addressed Latte with compassion and guidance! She is a gem!”
About: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.
About: Been around animals all my life. Im the go to person my family and friends ask to care for their pets and I always feel honored when they do because pets are family I have lots of free time and availability in the day. I’m also active and enjoy being outdoors. Will keep your pets entertained and if needing multiple walks a day I’m your guy I have a little fenced backyard that pets can enjoy while at home. The yard is shaded, quiet and safe with some grass for your pet’s comfort
“BReN was amazing! Our puppy is 8 months old and skiddish of new people. She came in and immediately knew how to handle the situation and soon our pup was laying on her lap! We felt very comfortable leaving her for the day, knowing that she would be well taken care of. We would hire her again in a jiffy!”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
“What a great lover of the Animal Kingdom with intelligence and the perfect touch to be cared and trusted taking her responsibilities as part of her life, you can’t go wrong with a person of this value”
“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 🐈⬛ 🥰”
About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.

FAQs for House Sitting - Yucca Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Yucca Valley on Rover is $68.27 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 530 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yucca Valley. 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 Yucca Valley 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 Yucca Valley 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 Yucca Valley 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.
