About: KEEPING FEES LOW... SO YOUR PET CARE DOESN'T COST AS MUCH AS YOUR VACATION! Lifelong Animal Expert & US Champion Equestrian – Elite Care for Your Pups! Hi, I’m Rich, animals have been a central focus of my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I learned the deep responsibility of animal care from a very young age. This foundational passion led me to a competitive career as a US Champion Equestrian, a journey that taught me how to read animal behavior, anticipate needs, and maintain absolute patience under pressure. Beyond my time in the arena, I have extensive hands-on medical exposure. I spent years assisting both large and small animal veterinarians in New York on everything from routine check-ups to intense, fast-paced emergency calls. Because of this, you can rest easy knowing I am highly observant, calm in emergencies, and fully capable of handling pets with specialized health or behavioral needs. On a personal note, I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was 8 years old. Today, I am the proud pet parent of two rescued terrier pups, so I deeply understand the unique patience, structure, and endless affection that rescue dogs need to feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, meticulous medical attention, or just a calm and confident presence while you are away, I will treat them with the exact same elite level of care I give my own animals. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I'm available throughout the day and night to assist with your pet care needs. Check my posted schedule to ensure the dates you need are available or my website to schedule. Pet walking and drop in visits only. At this time, I'm available for drop in visits, walking your pet, or transportation to and from the vet.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things to do. In that time, I've looked after just about every kind of animal you can think of — dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, seniors, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. The only ones I haven't worked with are horses! I'm comfortable with medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops, injections), special needs care, and adapting routines for pets who need a little extra patience. I've cared for rescue dogs still learning to trust people, helped a senior dog through a UTI by spotting the symptoms early and coordinating with the owner, and stayed calm when a dog in my care was unexpectedly attacked by another dog on a walk — I got him to the vet quickly and he made a full recovery. I don't have pets of my own right now, but on most days I'm out walking, feeding, or hanging out with someone else's. Your pet will get attentive care, plenty of affection, and an honest set of eyes on how they're doing day to day. If you need your dogs walked Monday through Friday, I will gladly try to accommodate my schedule for you. Happy to help on the weekends if I can! I do my best to make your pets feel comfortable with me and treat them with kindness. I believe in being patient with the pets I look after.

Whether it is a walk or a drop-in, rest assured your pet is in fabulous hands. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student. Monday–Thursday, I am in class from 2-3:10 in Indio. (Please account for travel time when booking around those hours.)

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

I met Megan for the meet and greet for her to drop in to check on my cat while we were out of town for a few days and I immediately trusted her. I appreciate her excellent communication and as a bonus she took great photos of my cat which made me feel even more at ease. She was super helpful and followed all care requests perfectly. I will definitely be rebooking!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cathedral City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cathedral City is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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 98 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cathedral City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
